Homeless forever most likely.

[let_me_loose]

So one of the specks of dusts wishes to command me? The audacity of mortals will never cease to amuse me. However, you are no spawn of the gods. I need not get permission to bring you home with me.

Touch my hand. [He extends a blackened limb, his clear blue gaze unfaltering.] Look into my eyes. Age will come upon you and then you too will experience the beauty of death.

If only it were that easy...

[let_me_loose]

It would be if you so desired it.

[golden_lyre]

You haven't talked to your brothers recently, have you?

[let_me_loose]

Your affairs hardly concern me. Unless, of course, you wish to become a permanent part of the Underworld.

[golden_lyre]

I didn't realize you were so anxious to have me back. I caused quite the uproar on my last visit.

[let_me_loose]

All the more reason for it to be me who contains you.

[golden_lyre]

Then you really haven't heard. I've been gifted. I get to keep on like this indefinitely.

[let_me_loose]

Gifted with immortality. [Another one. Zeus is too kind.] How does it feel to be like a god?

[golden_lyre]

I'm not like a god.

And I certainly didn't ask to be.

Wow. Random small text. Sorry about that. I can code!

[let_me_loose]

What are you, then?

A man?

Something in between?

lol, it happens

[golden_lyre]

Gods only know.

But I've never been just a man.

[let_me_loose]

Precisely.

Like a god.

[golden_lyre]

There are so very many things between man and god.

[let_me_loose]

None that I care to acknowledge. [Unless he makes them.]

[golden_lyre]

Then I suppose it's lucky for us that our existence doesn't depend on your acknowledgment.

[let_me_loose]

Yet.

[golden_lyre]

Careful. Prophecy's not your area of expertise.

[let_me_loose]

I don't dally in prophecies. I have bided my time and Zeus will lose his throne.

[golden_lyre]

Ah. One of those, is it?

[let_me_loose]

Those?

[golden_lyre]

One of those times when the gods pretend they can change the order of things.

[let_me_loose]

We are gods. We can do what we like.

[golden_lyre]

You can try what you like, but when the dust settles, things will be as they always have been.

[let_me_loose]

Do you truly think things have always been as they are now?

Foolish.

[golden_lyre]

I know they haven't been, but I know I've seen enough of you try to upset the order of things to understand that it's not going to happen.
