"You don't seem to understand. It is not a mere matter of willpower or courage."
She wasn't sure how to word it, she didn't want to make it sound like she didn't want her visit. She did, of course. But with the Age of Gods over, reaching the Underworld for the living was nigh impossible.
"To reach it means being dead."
Ereshkigal did look at her, but sounded nor looked less sad. Being brave and taking risks was a thing, but to reach the underworld meant dying, plain and simple. Unless she got in contact with Chaldea and saw her while she was summoned as a Servant, but what were the odds of that?
"And I cannot simply restore dead humans to life on a whim. If I do restore a life, another needs to be taken in return lest it disturbs the natural order and weakens my divine authority. Which in turns, would make me less capable of defending the underworld and put in jeopardy all the souls depending on my protection."
