OLD MYTHS, OLD GODS, OLD HEROES HAVE NEVER DIED

Once there were gods great and beautiful, whose palms crushed whole villages, whose smiles ensured mortal love. They reigned over their world with words that shook the hearts of mountains, and their exploits became myths without number. From thrones (carved of clouds and bejeweled with snared lightning) they presided over a land teeming with monsters, men, and heroes. Passing eternity warring with each other and those that thought they could best a deity, they were slowly stripped of their supremacy – brick by brick – until they slid into memory.

But gods do not die, forgive, or forget. Once again they are waking up – but in bodies strange and impermanent, bodies that will die. Their powers fizzle as they toil away in mortal flesh; memories slink away to private parts of the brain. Mount Olympus only visits in the secret places of dreams. They wear the faces of boys and girls – but below the brain, below the fumbling of earthly fingers, they are so much more. It’s been so long! They may remember, finding their own faces in others likewise divine; they may slip into the mortal coil, and stray through lifetime after lifetime, never grasping what glories they once had.

And here, we begin.

simple question, complex answer.

lets say you were made immortal, and you had to leave your life behind forever. you are given the option to take one person with you. the choice to spend eternity with one person, and no others from either of your lives, could you honestly find someone that you could to that with? and if so, why them?

you asked
b/c people keep asking me what this com is for Im gunna try to clear it up.

This com is a place for people to get together and share information on the darker side of life. No topics are barred and all are welcome. If you have a question, ask it, and hopefully someone will give you an answer. If you have something you would like to say or share, post it, we will be glad to listen. I know that there aren’t many members, yet, but the people that are here will answer as best as they can. Try to think of it as a safe meeting place / open forum for those of the darker persuasion.

Yours in shadow
Pete
