What kind of stories did you grow up with?

What kind of myths and fairy tales were you told?

Comments

[deathkid]

how do you know, though?

[dothelokimotion]

I know. How could I not?

[ The monster isn't meant to live beyond the end. ]

[deathkid]

i've found that even gods can make mistakes

[dothelokimotion]

Certainly. But Gods are more aware of the threads that hold their stories together than most. That is their weakness.

[deathkid]

those stories DO keep you alive, after all.
if people stopped telling father's story
or even stopped thinking about him
he'd fade.
it's kind of scary to think about
because what happens then to us demigods

[dothelokimotion]

I imagine nothing will. You will keep the stories alive and you will forge a different path. That is why you reside in the boundary.

[deathkid]

i guess so.

anyway, i still think you can make your story
whatever you want it to be.

[dothelokimotion]

We shall see.

[ It requires a bit more involvement from Loki. An investment in living that comes and goes. ]

[deathkid]

i guess we will.
it's a story i'd be interested in

[dothelokimotion]

My story is more cautionary than interesting.

[deathkid]

cautionary can be interesting
i like to think mine, which is just as cautionary, is interesting too

[dothelokimotion]

How so?

[deathkid]

pride goeth and all that

[dothelokimotion]

I do not want to know what other people think of my story.

[deathkid]

i was talking about myself

[dothelokimotion]

I am aware.

I do not want to know.

[deathkid]

then i won't tell you

[ he's gratetful, though. he doesn't really want to explain what he means. about his trip through tartarus, about being stuck in the giants' jar. at least, not to this loki. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Even Loki, who takes every word, every truth as a weapon, knows when to stop. ]

Good.
