It was an unfortunate truth that not all prayers went answered. Raas had a plan -- much larger than any mere mortal's. To believe that ones own wants and desires were of the highest importance was blaspheme in itself. Suffering was a part of life.

Aspen, though it seemed she had truly asked for help, was still placing herself to be more important than the divine. That, was her downfall.
