Challenge #05066-M317: The Marks Remain

An adult kobold in the later half of their life. They met Wraithvine, Bibrid, and the children. "I recognize you. My previous life before this. I was a baby and I rescued your hat. I died when I was a hundred and five, but I never forgot the funny elf with the fluffy cat and warm house that kept the storm out."

Ereshkygal and Shai both have plans for mortal souls. Immortal ones, too, but those are a little more directly managed. The only ones who are immediately reborn are Kobolds, and there are no definitive reasons why. Only the terribly prejudiced people say that it's because no god will claim them.

They don't make that claim about Dragons, because being burned to cinders often offends.

Wraithvine had come to like Dragonkindred, because ze never knew when ze would meet an old friend in a new body. Such as now, when the Kobold on the staff at the restaurant gasped and said, "It is you!"
