Well, firstly this tale is highly heretical. Secondly it is told by a Trickster who has managed to write his own deity into a central position (do you really want to contemplate the idea that Trickster is responsible for the present human race? Oh, I don't know though.....) Thirdly,
And fourthly, the whole Daka Fal/Grandfather Mortal myth is a compendium created by the God Learners out of dozens of local myths, some of which mention Grandmother Mortal and some of which don't. I think most likely either she dies of a broken heart after the first Death or she goes off and becomes someone even more mysterious.....
