-The Mythics RP-

(I have to fight every urge not to use exclusively outdated words in my essays)

Coal landed lightly beside Ember.



I was too busy flying for my life, I have no idea if we were being followed! Coal thought. “I don’t think so,” he said unsteadily.

"There is truth somewhere," Tay echoed, "only the deserving find it."
She gave Jintao a coy glance.
"There are strains of religion, and strains of rebellion. The end result is the same in both. There motives to achieve the result differ. You have an opinion on religion, yet a very distant, undisciplined view of rebellion. Those are terms I would like to see defined."

(I figured I'd let Jintao go first, since they're both looking at him now)

"That is absurd. Do you believe in a god, siren, or a higher power of some design?"

"I believe there is something greater than us. Don't you ever feel it? There has always been something or someone above us, I've just yet to find what it is."
Jintao started to drop behind, earning a faint side glance from the siren.
"I only want this land to be free for those like me. The Mythics and the Indigenous were here centuries before the colonists, and our cultures had been founded just as long. Now, our histories are at threat of being forgotten altogether. I only joined the rebellion to fight to preserve them."

"I understand. But don't hijack the conversation, dear. Does a god-centred religion end all in the same belief? Can you not disagree with the motives of acting on what their apparent God desires?"

"I can disagree. It seems more to me like blind trust in those who claim to represent this God. I see no divinity in most of their motives."

"That's... But there are different motives. I mean this: that within religion there are different parties acting on different beliefs, but in theory for the same higher power. Are they all right? Are some wrong? Western civilization kills to enforce their idolostic belief, mid-continent views are often atheistic or bland, Eastern and Northern beliefs radiate from a melting pot of disaster, often ending in cultish beliefs that we are gods ourselves, and all but one of those seeming convictional beliefs end in there is a higher power." Tay bit her lip, stifling a smile. "Am I making a point, or did I just kill everything?"

"Truthfully, I fail to see the relevance of all this. But I will say, I do believe most, if not all, are wrong. There is truth somewhere, however faint and hidden, and if this 'higher power' has its way, only the deserving may find it."
Nautalis stopped abruptly, turning halfway to let her gaze land on Jintao, who was trailing behind, still speaking to Tay.
"We, as the lesser, cannot ourselves be Gods, or the higher power. Not in this life or any others that follow- if any do follow. That I do know."

"There is truth somewhere," Tay echoed, "only the deserving find it."
She gave Jintao a coy glance.
"There are strains of religion, and strains of rebellion. The end result is the same in both. There motives to achieve the result differ. You have an opinion on religion, yet a very distant, undisciplined view of rebellion. Those are terms I would like to see defined."

Jintao stopped when he reached Nautalis and Tay. His eyes met Nautalis' stare. "Is there a problem?" the words came more from his throat than his tongue.

"No, my friend. At least, not with us."
The siren gave Jordan a pointed stare.
"But you spoke as if in a rush, and now you are sulking behind. A penny for your thoughts?"

"Uh..." Jintao looked away. His muscles tightened. His fist clinched inside his pocket. He looked back at her. "I'd prefer to keep my thoughts to myself, if you don't mind."
Jintao adjusted his hat and walked past Nautalis. "How far away is this ship anyways? It'll be evening before we reach it at this rate."

"Precisely. So there will be no more sulking, yes? For time's sake."
Nautalis followed quickly after Jintao, falling into step ahead of him again.
"It's just ahead. Hopefully, her captain will be present by now."
