"For the untrained eye, it may just seem we extract life force energy and place them inside immortality bodies. We don't.
"We thrive because because there exist a mutual bond between us and what becomes.
The immortals you see now, they are not just bodies. They are the culmination of effort to preserving the tradition and lives we have. We do not merely make them. We become them."
"Become them?"
"We don't just place life into beings, we also put some of ours into them. It's not just life force, not just some energy. We take the very soul and place them to immortal bodies.
"But we simply do not do it. We place in them a portion of our own. Snippets, memories, life, our very own soul. We fuse with them. But just a portion though. We do not mean them harm and certainly we give them the same respect and love as they were."
"Is that the reason why you thrive? It seems to me, you give them too much freedom in exchange for immortality and the toll is taken from yours?"
"It's the way it is. That's why at most we could handle making were only two. We run the risk of tyranny or death. And we scorn both. We do not reanimate the dead. We make immortal beings."
"Are you not the same with the necromancers?"
"If we are, then we would be surrounded by gravse and the city we live in will be filled with empty musuleoms."
"Where do you put the dead?"
"Processed and refined. Some become part of clothes we wear, some become foundations of buildings stood erect for many decades, even centuries. Most, though in small portion, become part of the immortal bodies we place souls."
"Golems?"
"A word misappropraitely deserving to divide what is immaculate and artificial. We don't deny it. But it is what it is."
"Are they still there?"
"If you mean by the souls we placed, yes they are there. But.. You may ask one yourself."

"Sudden infatuation with apple jams?"
"Undeniably, I am."
