Morning comes, and the rising sun wakes me from my sleep. I must have fallen asleep sometime during the night, exhausted from grieving my family. 
I rub my eyes, they're sore from all the crying. Getting up, I make my way back to the cave where I was born. 

The forest floor is still stained red, still the remains of goblins litter it. All that's left of Blue is a blackened stain on the ground. I pause in front of it before tearing up the soil to make a hole. As I work on gathering up the various body parts that lay around, I consult World Knowledge about Grim, this so-called Envoy of Death. 

*Grim, the Envoy of Death, is the highest ranked of the eight Divine Envoys. His combat capabilities are unrivaled, as he is able to inflict instant Death upon anything he touches with his right arm.*

Oh, so if I had decided to fight him I'd be dead. 

*By the way he addressed you, he seems to have no intention of ever fighting you, additionally, analysis of the Chain of Events reveal tampering to it. There is a high probability that Grim used the Divine item Fate's Spindle to ensure the best resolution to the situation.*

Wait what? Fate's Spindle? Best resolution? MY FAMILY ALL DIED, HOW IS THAT THE BEST RESOLUTION?!

*Analyzing... Collecting leftover Consequences... Finalizing...*

*Grim had multiple choices during the Chain of Events, when to intervene, where to intervene, how to intervene. The results of his choices were displayed before him before he acted due to the secondary effect of Fate's Spindle. His goal seems to have been to ensure the death of the goblin Blue, your survival and additionally engineering a way to fast-track your Evolution.*

So... The complete wipe-out of a goblin tribe was the way to fast-track my Evolution?

*Shamans that live in stable tribes rarely have any need to evolve further. It seems to have been his desire to make you evolve.*

But why?

*Unable to Answer. The Will of the Divine are known only to them.*

Ugh... 
I finish gathering the remains of my tribe. I deposit them into the hole I created earlier. I then pour the soil I excavated back into the newly made grave. 
I stand before the grave for a while. 
Heading into the cave, I check my stats. I haven't done that in a while, have I.
