Hello to whomever might be reading this. My given name is Lara, and I am the current incarnation of Athena.


I've gathered I am not the first to bear her name, and I'd be interested in learning more about my predecessor. What sort of god was he/she? As I've begun settling into her temple here, I've found quite a lot of things that they probably left behind, and I also thought that perhaps it would be right to return them if any were on loan.

And I would also like to ask about the community's feelings on something. Truth be told, I've only recently begun to accept that the supernatural is real and there might be a higher power(s) at work. At least, until I woke up here and was hit in the face with it. It's a lot to absorb.

I'm feeling a touch overwhelmed and I'd like to know what role you believe a god should play. I've my own ideas, naturally, but I'm curious what others think. Do you want to live up to the legends of who came before? Do you want to change those legends into something else? Or is there something else you believe about divinity? I'm curious, so please, let me know your thoughts. It may help me better sort out my own.

There are some things that an ax cannot cut through. If you were facing any of my kind, it would not even scratch us.

As I said, I am a Greeed. I can feel the wants and needs of all living things. From plants to animals to humans, the stronger the want, the more I can taste it.

They have none. So I find that suspicious.

Then I suppose it's a good thing you and I aren't enemies, eh?

that does make sense though. Maybe it's the whole 'soulless' part.

[connivingbird]

I suppose so.

Yes, but at the same time, if it doesn't have wants and needs, is it truly living? Or is it another toy to be used and discarded? And if so, what are the soulless true purpose? To serve or to spy?

[adventurology]

I'm unsure on that, but I'm hardly the person to ask. I know it did it's job admirably against the zombies though.

[connivingbird]

Of course it will.
But what else is it suppose to do beyond that? It's one thing to pick up an ax to use. It's another thing to have what looks like a human turn into an ax on your whim. I do not like it, nor do I like what it implies of the older gods of this place and how they readily accept them.

[adventurology]

A mystery I do intend to look into. Not one I have an answer to now, but I do have to make use of the things I have. And I have no other Shinki, should an Akayashi come after me.

[connivingbird]

There are a few mysteries that do not make this place look good on the part of the older gods. At least in my way of thinking.

For now. I am sure they will fix that oversight sooner or later.

[adventurology]

We shall see, of course.
