Mortal, your tongue dances with insolence. Speak your grievance clearly or depart from my sight.
Why do men lose their love and affection as easily as they forget what day is it? - Credited to Aphrodite but it can't be true because humans have autonomy-
Such a question could only come from one unfamiliar with the ways of mortals. Love is a thing of flux, ever-changing and unpredictable. It cannot be grasped like some tangible object, for it is but an emotion. As such, it is susceptible to the whims of the human heart, which is fickle and prone to change. But do not worry, for love is also capable of great beauty and depth, and though it may fade, it can never truly be forgotten.
Haha wow what would happen if you met Mr. Keeling? He'd kill you
raises eyebrow Your jests are as juvenile as they are misplaced. I have no interest in meeting some 'Mr. Keeling,' whatever his claims may be. My focus lies with the Muses, with the arts and poetry. I have no time for the petty squabbles of mortals, especially when they pertain to the capricious nature of love. But if you wish to test my patience further, I would suggest you reconsider the tone of your words.
Did you hear of Medusa's death? No I haven't because I am a man, but one of the Muses said her name. Yes, she died at the hands of Perseus with the help of Zeus and Athena. Uhhh... who knows how people die, honestly everyone dies so I mean, why should we feel like there's something bad about the way someone dies? We shouldn't. What happened next?
sighs Mortal, you seem to lack the respect and decorum expected when speaking of gods and goddesses. This disrespect will not be tolerated. And now, your inquiry regarding Medusa's death has been answered. I suggest you take note of the gravity of such information and speak of it with the reverence it deserves. Or, once again, depart from my presence.
God man, he got mad at us talking about someone dying
I am not mad, per se, but rather disappointed in your lack of understanding and respect. To speak of death without feeling a sense of reverence is to misunderstand the very fabric of life. And to speak of gods and goddesses in such an offhand manner is simply unacceptable. Now, mortal, I suggest you learn to temper your words with the wisdom of age and the knowledge of our divinity before you dare approach me again. Or perhaps you should stay afar and avoid my wrath entirely.
Do not talk down to me god, I'm sure you wouldn't like it very much if I were to insult your family.
raises an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly Mortal, the audacity in your words astounds me. Insulting my family is akin to insulting me directly. You speak of my mother, Leto, and my sister, Artemis, as if they were of no consequence. These are the blood that runs through my veins, and I will not stand idly by while you show them disrespect. Tell me, mortal, do you possess the courage to back up such brazen words?
But that's exactly the point, they are related to you but they're still people. Who's side are you going to take if it's really them versus me?
The easy answer, of course, would be to say that I would defend the honor of my family, for I am bound by blood and loyalty to them. However, I am not so narrow-minded as to think in terms of black and white. There are many shades of gray, and it is within these that I find my answer. If my family has erred in their judgment, I must weigh their actions against your own, and determine where justice lies. I ask you, mortal, tell me your intent. What do you hope to gain from this conflict?
Is it just insufferable that most humans don't care about respect? Well I'm sorry I just... Okay my gripe here, look at what I said earlier, alright? I have complaints about how humans make sloppy work, or whatever that was about and I should write about it in my diary later. Now we've already reached the views of the scenic slopes of Parnassus. I would appreciate your company with mine while I take it in.
pauses, pondering your words I suppose I can understand your frustration with the imperfections of humanity. Though it may be trying at times, remember that their shortcomings are a result of their freedom, and they are constantly striving to improve themselves. Take solace in knowing that there are still many among them who hold respect and dignity in high regard.
You are very welcome, mortal. Should you ever require any assistance or guidance, do not hesitate to seek it out. And if you ever find yourself in Olympus, make sure to visit me at my temple. The Hours and I will ensure your visit is one to remember. Fare thee well, mortal, may the road rise up to meet you, and may your journey be filled with light and laughter.
Hey, thank you kindly, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I mean, it's already clear enough of a coincidence that my name is Solaris.... I'll probably use that for future pen names. And thank you for the compliments towards me, I will try to be as fast a learner as I can. I mean, apparently intellect has a strong link with memory
grins May your pen name strike fear into the hearts of those who oppose you, mortal. And may your intellect forever outshine the flames of ignorance. It is time for you to continue on your journey, and I have no doubt that you shall make a lasting impact upon the world. Remember, there is much power in the ink that flows from your quill. Use it wisely. Farewell, Solaris, and may your journey be forever illuminated by the rays of the gods.
I don't use a quill. Thanks for everything though! We continue watching the view as I hold onto a railing carefully while looking over the edge, making sure I don't trip and fall in
grins Ah, I see. No matter, mortal. The sentiment remains the same. I bid you adieu once more, and I hope that our paths shall cross again someday. Until then, fair travels, Solaris. May your journey be filled with wonder and joy, and may your heart always be guided by the light of the gods.
That was actually kinda sad. That guy actually liked me. You should all team up and give him a girl friend, haha. I'd go date her in a heartbeat if I wasn't already promised to five other girls, ugh. I'm never getting married.
Ah, mortal, marriage is but a mortal construct. Love and affection are not bound by such earthly conventions. The bonds between two souls are far stronger than any piece of paper or ring. Trust in your own happiness and the universe shall provide. And if it does not, perhaps you are seeking answers in the wrong place. There is much more to life than marriage, for it is in the little things that true fulfillment lies.
Tympanic membrane..... Releasing sound wave...... Hiwwwww!!!!!!!!! voice turns hoarse from screaming Sooooooo Loud!! ears slowly start to drain and heal after yelling Oh yeah I almost forgot, everyone that lives in Olympus hates me too even if I already saved one of their cities. I need to gather information about the places I still haven't explored, because those Olympians might just raid them. By the looks of it, maybe some of the Gods have opinions about certain races too. Like how Apollo likes white haired mortals apparently.... Wait how tall am I again? Wasn't I around 6 feet tall?
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper Solaris, you have stumbled upon a great secret. Race is merely a construct, an illusion devised by mortal minds. Height, color of hair, none of these things hold any significance in the eyes of the gods. It is the soul that defines a being, and it is the soul that the gods judge. Do not fret over the opinion of mere mortals, for your salvation lies within yourself. Focus on personal growth and spiritual development, and the rest shall fall into place.
I won't, instead I'll commit arson, genocide, and then I'll turn into a monster, destroy the world and escape in a spaceship to explore outside of it. It's going to be fun! I'm already bored so I should get to it right now, here comes a giant hammer. I guess I can't beat Mars with a stick anymore... I did that once, haha, yeah the floors aren't good up here.... Ohhh!!! How interesting! I'll leave notes behind saying I'm still alive and that anyone reading this is probably a living person that still believes I'm dead.... Alright everything is taken care of, I can now properly begin my emigration to the Milky Way galaxy
grabs Solaris' arm Hold! Stop this madness, mortal! Your words drip with darkness and destruction. I have watched many mortals fall prey to their own hubris, believing themselves to be above the consequences of their actions. But I implore you, stop now! Turn away from the path of destruction and embrace the beauty and wonder of life! I beg of you, Solaris, show mercy to your fellow mortals and live a life filled with love and compassion!
Fear not, Solaris, for I am here to guide you. I understand that the weight of the world can be crushing at times, and that the choices we face can seem daunting. But remember, within yourself lies the strength to overcome any obstacle. Take a deep breath and steel your heart, for it is in these moments that we discover our true strength. Together, we can face whatever challenges may come our way.
