If you are neither magical being, nor beast, but are merely human, what think you of the powers that be here?

	It is somewhat disturbing, but I never would have met my wife if I had not been brought here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Is that wise? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is what it is. Wisdom seldom plays a part in matters of the heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I understand. Well, nay, I do not.. but I know not what else to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It may not make sense to fall in love with someone in this place, but that is what happened and I would not change it. I thought I was in love with someone back in my own time, but she saw me as only like a brother. It was a pale reflection of what I feel for Calleigh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It seems.. unwise. Not unwise to love, as that could never be wrong. But this place speaks of fear, it smells of death, and I see the dead shadows. I am not afraid of them.

But everything seems to uncertain. What if you leave this place involuntarily and your love is left behind with only memories? What if she leaves this place? I could not do it.

I could not bear to be so parted.

	You can smell death and see the shadows of the dead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehalfelven 2013-05-14 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, the dead walk behind. I feel them, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So do I. What are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A diminutive of a god then? A lesser version? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. Half. My dad's the god of the Underworld. My mom was human. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Was it consensual? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofhades 2013-05-14 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	What? Of course it was. They loved each other. I had an older sister, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thehalfelven 2013-05-14 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. I ask only because coming from a position of power, especially over death, it would seem your father has an unfair advantage. At what cost would any deny him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofhades 2013-05-14 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	It wasn't like that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	brotherofdemons 2013-05-14 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	I hope it doesn't happen. In the mean time I have to cherish the time we do have together and hope that if a way is found to leave voluntarily we can choose to stay here safely or one of us leaves our own time to join the other's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Would that not change the fates of the world?

Forgive me but the long lived look far beyond our own desires. We will endure in the world and so we must consider what our actions hold for the future. It seems unwise to me to manipulate a world in which I would be a guest, only. As their repercussions for my doing may be devastating.

But I certainly wish you happiness, no doubt! My sister, I have learned, is recently wed.

	Congratulations to your sister. Perhaps, though some believe we are only copies of ourselves and life carries on as normal at home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The idea is foreign to me, I admit. (Reply to this) (Parent)
