Native mythology. And homeless forever because she's probably a gamebreaker.

So strange. The "end of the world," they say?

Why worry? When the calendar ends, it begins anew. And when it is time for this world to die, we will make a new one, as we have before. I can't count the number of times that silly Trickster accidentally reset the entire world. But we're still here, aren't we?

Now, as for you... Of all your whims, this is one of the whimsiest! You know you can't do anything with me, don't you? Did you bring me here out of childhood nostalgia? I understand. The stories we're told as children never truly leave us.

Mortals fear death. It is in their nature and likely will always be in their nature. So with the thoughts of their end they do not see the possibility of a new beginning.

Also I would argue your mundane could do something with you should you be willing to lose your powers and be as a mortal or at the very lease lose most of your power as a goddess.

Other gods have done it and many gods will do it.

[lendinglight]

It's very sad... Ah. If only I could bring them comfort, somehow.

I would not mind living like a mortal, just as long as my people are safe while I am gone. Power isn't so important, is it? But my young mun is a little worried--something about "canon," for people like you and me, and how to document it. It's not quite like opening a book.

[god_not_goth]

I feel that those who deserve it will feel comfort in their death.

Mm that is true it would take some interpretation on your mun's part of how events transpired.

As for the safety of others, do not worry.

Time will return us to where we must be when our muns are done.

[lendinglight]

Time... An old friend. Yes! How right you are. I feel much better about this prospect now.

Comfort from the lord of the underworld. Whoever said anything can happen in this place wasn't joking.

[god_not_goth]

If things go as they should there is comfort in death, in the end and what lay beyond.

Getting there however is terrifying, especially for those who either know or believe they have done wrong to their fellow mortals or to the gods.

[lendinglight]

I feel quite lucky that I've never had to do anything as taxing as judging the human soul. How heavy the human soul must be at the time of death. I only ever see the souls when they are new and bright. Between the two of us, I believe I've got the better end of the deal.

[idkworldruler]

I'm sure there's a few things they can do with you. God mode for the wins.

[lendinglight]

For the wins, yes. [She seems to find this very amusing.] Thank you. You give me hope!

[idkworldruler]

Well that"s kind of funny. Most people usually think the opposite. Then again, I guess both the world and sun could use more than a little illumination these days.

[lendinglight]

I think you are right. Sometimes I think all the world is under a cloud of darkness right now. I remember more innocent times. Of course, there was darkness back then, too. But the people had their innocence and seemed happier for it.

[idkworldruler]

Well of course I'm right, I know things. Anyway, dark days are ahead, not just for the US economy. Blah, blah blah. Just tell your mun that the end of the world, isn't.

[lendinglight]

Oh, yes, she knows. It's some of her friends who think otherwise, the poor things.

[idkworldruler]

Could be worse, at least they're all using their thinking tools.

[windandrain]

Humans panic, and we watch in mild interest. There is nothing wrong with that, it is a natural reaction.

[She smiles knowingly]

And...what's to say that you can't do anything? Mine found a place for me, and I'm born of childhood dreams as well.

[lendinglight]

When all I can do is watch, I feel a little guilty. I wonder whether that's natural, too...

Is that so? [She perks up.] What is it like, where you live?

[windandrain]

It's perfectly natural. I've felt a small bit apprehensive myself.

[She nods in reply]

I have. It's...called Luceti. A strange world where wings are attached to us, and we're trapped in a bubble, our strength diminished. There are troubles with it, but the people there are most interesting.

[lendinglight]

Wings... My.

And you have made friends there? I should hope so, for all your troubles.

[windandrain]

These...games tend to restrict all of us. We're given little choice in the matter.

But the friends there? They're lovely. And they do make up for the trouble, I think. After all, companionship can help us endure any hardship.

[lendinglight]

Well, I'm so happy to hear you've found something nice in all this. You are a perfectly lovely girl, you deserve no less.

And I'll admit--talking with you has made me rather eager myself.

[windandrain]

[That draws an amused laugh]

You honor me, Sister. My mundane is familiar with your story.

And I do hope you find a place. It's all a matter of looking in the right places.
