It was the deep, resonant voice of another person entirely, a powerful male, speaking from a realm far beyond the borders of this lower world.
"Do you think it's really okay to have sent her down to this primitive place?" the male voice murmured, laced with an undertone of heavy worry. "I still feel it is not safe for her."
A second voice, a female, older and brimming with unyielding authority, echoed back through the shared consciousness. "But this is the only place she can naturally find unique talents that will be of genuine help to her in the future. She needs to cultivate warriors, talents that will willingly put down their very lives for her if need be, bound by true loyalty, not forced contracts."
The first male let out a sharp, slightly disdainful scoff. "It's just... these native males she has chosen are all so incredibly stupid. They cannot even protect her from the wrath of a menial, low-level world God."
