Fendros looked at his hands. "I had hoped it wouldn't take such a large sacrifice," he said. His eyes turned up to Ahnasha. "We are in a war, though. It doesn't have to take too much longer if planned right. We can find those souls, I'm sure. The average warrior doesn't even know what a soul trapping looks like." Fendros pursed his lips. "It's afterwards that I am more concerned about. You're going to have to find someone to murder every few years? How are you going to do that?"

There was the matter of Ahnasha's age, but Fendros wouldn't address that over his other concerns unless pressed to.
