Snippet from Sigils of the Abyss (Book 3)

CW and context: Everyone in this scene is in the afterlife and it includes children, but there's nothing gory or even context for how they died. They're playing in Sanctuary City's Playground District.

Snippet from Sigils of the Abyss:

Thalia was immediately surrounded by innumerable squealing children, asking her questions and clinging to her legs. She had to put Ava on her shoulders while she shuffled around.

'Zinnian is going to be a bit cross,' Thalia thought. 'Ah, who cares?'

After setting Ava on some bars, Thalia flexed her large muscles for the children, lifted as many as she could, and did circus tricks on playground equipment. When asked about the arcanafauna at the Clayton Enchanted Extravaganza, Thalia gleefully rambled.

Another psychopomp approached the group. Instead of a lamp, she had a clay bowl filled with burning wax embedded in her chest. In a thick Navikulan accent, she asked, "Are we having fun?" Her consonants were hard and her R’s rolled. The bells sewn into her dress jingled.

"Indeed," Thalia said, mostly hidden by the army of kids.

"Who do we have glowing here?" Jingling Pomp asked.
Standing up with a beaming grin, Thalia announced herself. "Thalia Clayton! Former acrobat and current lamp."
