We have several lore accounts of Guardians’ views on dying. Almost all of them are like this: [quote]”Finnala always says she doesn’t mind dying, because it doesn’t last. A few seconds and then the Light comes, bright and warm. And she rises again. “ https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/dormant-siva-iron-lords-24#dormant-siva [/quote] Guardians are used to dying and think little of it (not counting Thanatonaughts, who see a lot of importance in dying because of the insights they can gain). They don’t fear death. Dying their final deaths is a different thing entirely, of course, and we also have several perspectives on that. Reactions to permanent deaths are much more varied, and most seem to die bravely knowing that their final death is coming, but some are similar to these: [quote]“This is not my end! I have come too far to die here! I've let one unknown force make me, now ~consume enhance replicate~” https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/dormant-siva-iron-lords-29#dormant-siva [/quote] [quote]“I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I don’t want... ~consume enhance replicate~ Ghost? Ghost, where are you?” https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/dormant-siva-iron-lords-28#dormant-siva [/quote]
