Regina had planned on surprising their girlfriend with flowers, a token gesture. But these were no ordinary flowers, they were eternity lilies. Immortality on a plate, all you had to do was consume one and you'd become immortal. A whole bouquet, and with blessing, you'd become a deity. She hoped she could convince Magnolia to come with her, but mortals seemed to like their ability to die despite everything. They understood, to some degree, what it was like to want an end to things, but honestly it seemed like a chore to die.

Magnolia stood vigil in the temple, making sure the flame stayed lit. She watched someone make a sacrifice and set it in the fire through the veil covering her face. Behind the fire pit stood a statue of the imposing goddess, the fire making strange shadows on her face.
Being a priestess of this temple, she had learned death’s place in the world. Death was inevitable for mortals, a natural thing. She could not see the point in trying to avoid it.
As the person left the temple, Magnolia could see the deceased staring after them, fading in and out of perception.
“Go,” she called to the spirit, and they seemed to turn to her in surprise before fading away completely.
