Spoken with the certainty of experience.
So Faery can have neither "waterboarding" nor "near-death experiences" or "out-of-body-experiences" for any reason whatsoever-- even if you are sent there (instead of stumbling there) to learn a specific set of lessons for a specific set of reasons?
I thought the original Faery Grandmother/ Godmother/ Lady Of The Desk had more of a doom/destiny/purifying air about her. IMO, Anodos was in for it, from day one.
Smith had a different reason for going.
