No... I just thought that perhaps if it appeared in your memory, maybe you could've.
[he hums]
Let me know if you ever do? Do you know if Leaders will get their memories back if we cross certain thresholds of nova as well? Or is it only when people on their teams kill?
Because I'd still like to know more about you. [swinging their hands gently!] Though I can remind you a few more times still that we're friends, I don't mind.
... I still don't remember anything from before then, so some of the details are unclear to me. Where I existed before then, or what I was doing... I do not know.
However, you were right. I am most likely a god, though not one any humans knew of or worshiped.
[ not going to lie, it's a bit of a relief to goat that that didn't immediately put soo-won off. ]
Even after. That was something he said in my previous memories, when we argued on that island, hundreds of years later--that not a single person in the world knew of me. My newly regained memories merely confirm as much.
Aside from my initial descent, it isn't entirely obvious that I am not human, after all, and I had little reason to ever mention it.
My power doesn't depend on others' faith, if that is what you mean.
[ ... ]
But that child... he had suffered much under the oppression of other humans, before I rescued him. Though I meant for him to be free after, he instead insisted on following me, as he was alone in the world and had nowhere else to go.
So, I took him in and raised him. [ surprise, goat is actually a dad ] However... eventually, when he reached the age of sixteen, he didn't agree with my way of doing things. Sick of my presence, he left me.
just kidding soo-won's going to be listening along as they walk through the entire northern area. for goat's sake they're not going to the ruins but like everything else is fair game.]
.... that was kind of you. What made you go down to the human realm to seek out him specifically?
Was it kind, I wonder... In the end, it may have been better for him to grow up among his fellow humans.
[ what is done is done, though. ]
... I don't know. We parted ways, then, and didn't meet again until ten years later--when he was on the brink of death, and then passed away.
[ ... ]
"Everything returns to the earth eventually." That was what I always said, and what I had instructed that child before, when he lost a small friend. Every mortal will face death, sooner or later; one must learn to accept that flow.
[ but there's an odd note to goat's voice that suggests he's not trying to preach the virtues of accepting death right now. ]

[SO IT'S A CIRCLE?]
And the monster is eating the nova that existed in the Realm before us?
But once we re-gathering the nova, the monster cannot eat it again.
no subject
he nods. ]
Correct.
no subject
If we gather more nova, would that be enough to steal from the monster to weaken it?
no subject
Maybe?
no subject
laughs]
Sure, I'll take a 'maybe'. It's better than a definite 'no'.
no subject
I did say we didn't know much about it yet...
no subject
[though - ]
Actually, it was remiss of me not to ask last week - but did you remember your name, by any chance?
no subject
No... should I have?
no subject
[he hums]
Let me know if you ever do? Do you know if Leaders will get their memories back if we cross certain thresholds of nova as well? Or is it only when people on their teams kill?
no subject
[ anyhow ]
We do.
no subject
no subject
Yes.
no subject
at least looks amused]
You.... really waited until I asked....
no subject
It was only of my life before the Realm, so it didn't seem relevant.
no subject
Because I'd still like to know more about you. [swinging their hands gently!] Though I can remind you a few more times still that we're friends, I don't mind.
no subject
he looks up to the sky. ]
It was of that child, again. From the time I entered the world of humans to save him, to when I exiled the two of us to that island.
no subject
[he tilts his head at that]
... tell me the story, if you don't mind?
no subject
However, you were right. I am most likely a god, though not one any humans knew of or worshiped.
no subject
.... so you are.
[he seems to be processing that for a moment before nodding, and giving goat's hand a gentle squeeze]
But then you entered the human realm?
[also uncomfortably familiar but it's fine.]
no subject
Even after. That was something he said in my previous memories, when we argued on that island, hundreds of years later--that not a single person in the world knew of me. My newly regained memories merely confirm as much.
Aside from my initial descent, it isn't entirely obvious that I am not human, after all, and I had little reason to ever mention it.
no subject
Did he want you to be known?
Is it similar to Xie Lian's system of divinity....?

[but he.
looks a little surprised at that - confused. they can talk about death in a bit, perhaps, but...]
Passed away? But... hadn't you gone to the island together?
