They say that the gods can never die, and for the most part that's true. So long as they have power they can't be killed, and only those that brought them in can take them out.
The god of death knows this well, for death has no people and thus no power. They're old, and they remember when the God Maker still hung around before it disappeared, and the gods would pick off spines and bones and claws to use as weapons. Death took one to the core.
Death's partner was Life, and Life was the most powerful of all, for all are Life's people. They shared their power, kept Death alive, as they do to this day.
The God Maker disappeared, and the weapons decayed and the gods forgot, and so they tell their followers that there's no way to kill a god, and the gods believe it to be true.
