[b]The man chuckled, bringing upon an almost wry smile.[/b]
"And what makes you think I'm mortal?"
[b]The volatile energy remained, only this time turning concentrated, like it was being held back to be used as a weapon.[/b]

-
"You're preparing to fight for your life so I'm guessing you are." The sword is raised and fear replaces the hope and joy.

Edited by Wheatley: 5/13/2017 2:13:50 AM[b]The energy dissipated, flowing back into the the man. He laughed despite himself, and looked over at the figure.[/b] "So it is you who enters the minds of those your perceive weak, yes? You test them, judge their reactions and determine who they are. I'm beginning to see what you are, curious, but unbound from the false constraints of the mortals" [b]He paused for a moment, thinking, the air shifting around him.[/b] "So why are you here?"
-
"I do not seek to learn of who these mortals are." The sword vanishes. "I seek the understanding of why they run from and fight death."
-
[b]His smile grew[/b] "So that's what your after. You seek to understand why they resist death. So why, in all your curiosity, come to a place without those answers? What do you want from me?"
-
"I did not know who's dream I was entering. I'm sorry for intruding." The sky cleared up and turned a friendly blue.
-
"There, that's more like it. Now how can I assist in your, uh, endeavors?" [b]Although his expression reflected a friendly and hospitable smile, his mind seemed to communicate a different message.[/b] [i]Be careful. There are certain paths you do not wish to go down[/i]
-
"What do you mean by that? I simply seek knowledge. That's all I've got now."
-
Edited by Wheatley: 5/13/2017 9:00:34 PM[i]They do not think the way you think. Instead of knowledge and discovery, mortals seek only survival and singular prosperity. The reason they fear death is because they can't understand it.[/i]
-
"Hmm. Is that it? Some bring up family and friends others legacy."
-
Edited by Wheatley: 5/14/2017 12:09:41 AM[i]No, that's not all. I myself still hunt for why they fight. Is it the soul? Is it simply primal instinct? These are the answers we seek to find[/i]
-
"So I am not alone in this search? One recommended I try mingling with them. To try getting close and the like."
-
[b]He smiled[/b] [i]You will never be alone in such a search.[/i] [b]He paused[/b] [i]So one of them told you to "mingle" with the rest, eh? You know they will always view you as an outsider. But even so, they may be right. Of course I wouldn't know. People view me as a monster, a being that shouldn't belong in their world[/i]
-
"It may have to do with your...appearance. You may come off as hateful and violent. Luckily I can make myself a bit more friendly looking."
-
[i]Believe me. I know. Thing is, I'm technically a shape-shifter. Well, now at least. That's one of perks of being a god, you end up knowing how to do everything after a while.[/i]
-
"I wouldn't consider myself a god just because I'm immortal. I don't have much power outside the dream world."
-
[i]No. Not yet. Soon enough maybe, once you discover who you truly are.[/i]
-
"Who...I am? What do you mean? I'm me. I have metallic wings and I'm tall."
-
[i]But there is more to you than that. There is something, deep within your subconscious, that is the source of everything you are. All you have to do is find it.[/i]
-
"I don't understand. How do I find this thing you speak of? Is there a book? Scroll? Something to observe?"
-
Edited by Wheatley: 5/14/2017 1:34:16 AM[i]It's not something you can simply acquire by reading any book or scroll. It's something that requires you to look into your very core. There lies your true self, waiting to come out.[/i]
-
"I'm still confused. I know everything about my core and what is inside me and if a part of me wants to get out why can't it?"
-
Edited by Wheatley: 5/14/2017 1:55:05 AM[i]Because it's not simply what you consist of physically that makes up who you are. Deep inside you your name is hidden away, undiscovered and untapped. When you look into yourself, who you are, without any distractions or justifications, you find yourself. And once you find it, you can do anything.[/i]
-
"I now wish to find...me. Whatever that means. I still don't understand, but I'll find me. Thank you."
-
[i]You will, in time. I'm happy to help.[/i]
-
"You may wake up now. I grow tired of this dream."
