    Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
    --------------
    This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
    -------------
    HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
    -------------
    Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
    Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
    In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

    The mask Death wears is one that reflects the soul of one who will pass. An interesting take on things, isn't it? Death is neither cruel, not is it benevolent. It simply is. It carries out a grim duty and does so as quickly, cleanly, and with as little fuss as can be managed. And in Kerin's case, his smile is a mask as well. For he has carried out this grim, and at times heartbreaking, duty many a time. Though there are some times when he can find himself.... satisfied at the result, especially when he can choose.

      Sure but why did he directly intervene like that. A collector of the dead who takes time to create a few more dead seems to have a conflict of interests. Like an ambulance driver while rushing back to save a gravely injured man runs a few more over so he can save A few more while on the way.

      ​@@Snipergoat1 "he got to choose" think about what the implication is with events occuring in the story. For a refresher and a hint the biological son had pulled a dagger on Nok and was in close quarters combat when Koren made his choice.

      One could say that Korin did his job as an Advocate one who speaks for others or in this case for the dead or soon to die. In this case, he advocated for the soul of a good man about to be killed and was granted the choice to take the soul of the evil man who was meant to kill him that night instead. the raven on his shoulder is the one who is the actual collector of souls all Korin did was change whose soul was collected that night.

      @@Snipergoat1 One was going to die regardless, Nok or Artek. Koren in this instance was simply allowed to choose which it would be. Not to create a death since a death was already mandated, but to choose which of the two would die. Not exactly the same as creating extra business for himself.

    It is said in the old tales that only human advocates are given a choice. It is more that only humans defy the fates such that it is easier to let us intervene at times than for even a god to maintain control.

    Nice story but I can't understand why he would care much about the soul turned evil, or why he would involve himself with saving Nok. Psychopomps (Beings who take the newly dead from the land of living to the places of the dead. The Grim Reaper and Valkyries are particularly well known examples) are notoriously aloof as to the specific nature on any given death (out side of their duties of course.) I suppose that they see so many it is routine for them. So why the intervention?

    • @Terran.Marine.2

    • @zuzax1656
      @zuzax1656 26 днів тому +2

      Why the intervention? Because it was Arket's time, not Nok's. Death came to the village for two souls, Arket's and Elly's.
      You seem to be under the impression that Death is simply a gatherer of the souls of the recently departed. If such were the case, it would be known as the Gatherer, or the Guide, or something. But it is not, it is Death, the snuffer of the spark of life. Death is the cause, not a bystander. Only then can Death take the soul to the next realm.

    • @lrmackmcbride7498
      @lrmackmcbride7498 26 днів тому +2

      There was a choice to be had. A flip of the coin and the advocate chose perhaps just as an agent of not death but karma.

      Also as he basically states, he's human, a person that was so in love with his partner, that he basically made a deal with Death herself, to become one of her 'helpers' to stay with his partner. So this isn't just an incarnation of death, or a psychopomp, but a person doing a job basically. And a person doing a job can make a choice. Two people had to die in that town. The 'split' as they called it, meant that depending on a number of factors, either Nok or Arket could have died in that scuffle that Arket was planning. Koren decided that it was going to be Arket, and ensured THAT was the outcome, and that random chance didn't get a look in. Ellie was a different story
