Theory of the Soul

Consider the frithlings. They are the essence of all life, so, they are the building blocks of all life. This we know. But what makes the shape of the soul? What divines the void between the frithlight? So far, it is believed with great evidence that frithlings make the shapes of our souls and the voids between, and that this,as we might see it, deficiency is a divine intervention.

Only the gods, other primordial forces, and most animals are born with a wholeness of the soul. All else are born with a void; The creed of being is "no one is born whole". For the divine forces of the world, their souls are filled with the sparks of creation, Frithlings, and thus represent irrefutable truths of the universe.
For people, we are products of these beings, but with one exception. There is a void

inside us, each, that we fill as we go through life. It is this void that both gives us our mortality as it does our free-will; for as impermanent creatures, we are not embodiment of irrefutable truths of the universe.
We are like stories, as free to live as we are fated to end. our spark and the frithlings that make us up are what gives us purpose and drives us. It is commonly accepted then that the divine forces of this world--be it gods, primordial, or even magic--are all born whole, or with a cosmic essence that drives their purpose. They are not free, but bound to life, and thus defy mortal deaths.
