The quiet one — he set an end to every beginning, so that anything could ever change.
He arrived last among the Shapers, and he arrived quietly. No storm announced
him. No light heralded his coming. Mortis simply appeared at the edge of the
world and waited. The others understood immediately. Without him, nothing Vita
created could change. Without him, the old would never make way for the new.
Without him, the world would fill and fill and fill until it collapsed beneath
its own abundance. Mortis is not cruel. He does not enjoy his work. He is
simply necessary — the period at the end of every sentence, the silence after
the last note, the sleep that follows the longest day. Those who fear him
misunderstand his purpose. He does not take life. He completes it. Every
ending he grants is a door through which something new can enter. The world
turns because Mortis allows it to. Without death, there is no room for life.
