Luminas's Links
I’m certainly glad that the first choice I made for someone of his position is the *only* choice I had to make regarding it. Emir is an excellent worker, and he’s earned my trust with his work ethic and his due diligence rather than simply having it come with his title, a feat that is difficult to accomplish; Not even the original gods have fully earned my trust despite being made in a slight bit of my likeness, so it’s impressive that Emir was able to do so simply by proving himself to me. He only gets better as the job goes on, more time is more experience or what not. As each year or so passed on, I find myself being more grateful to have someone like him by my side, with his innate ability to keep people in line and how he has an incredible foresight that many people in this world lack, I can trust that he will act and make decisions in a way that would keep the kingdom as peaceful or as noisy as it has to be. So it’d be a shame to let someone as competent as him go, it’s a thought that crosses my mind every so often I am asked to deal with something, as I would be bothered and annoyed a lot more if it wasn’t for his presence… Though this is all if he’s focused on his work obviously. Things have been rather different with him lately, and it’s much more inefficient than the Emir I am accustomed to. He has not been living up to the expectations that he set himself recently, and it’s disheartening to keep it frank. The God I trust the most in this kingdom is slowly but surely losing the very thing that made me trust him in the first place, his ability to govern over others, and his ability to keep control over the kingdom in my place. He’s letting mistakes and mishaps slip through his fingers more and more, that it’s surprising that only a few gods have taken advantage of his lackluster state. Yet those that slipped through were able to cause a bigger problem than they were equipped to deal with, and it mostly boils down to Emir’s new, unfounded inability to focus. I know the reason of this sudden lack of acceptable work, and truly, the cherub should have remained neglected. It does nothing but cause trouble and take attention from the things that truly matter in this kingdom. If it takes removing that thing from the kingdom to get Emir back into shape, then so be it.
My opinions on Luminas are rather difficult to put into words; in fact, they are rather complicated in general. It has been terribly long since we first met, quite literally over a millennium, but despite that I can recount those times very well. First and foremost, the kingdom's environment was a lot more friendly, more forgiving. Though that was to be expected seeing as I was young and new—well, not just me, but the world as well. Of course as the years went on, the mortal realm became more populated and therefore more advanced. New gods came in; some with completely new titles, and others taking on ones from the retired. Since I'm one of the very early gods, I had the "pleasure" of observing how these advancements would end up effecting Luminas. For lack of a better word, the way I would describe it is that he became more “cynical.” He stopped making as many appearances in the kingdom, and when he did appear, he would always seem to be irritable. I had always assumed that he'd just been losing more and more energy as the creator of such an expansive world, and really I have no reason to think otherwise. Personally I don't blame him at all for his shift in behavior, but I won't lie and say that I don't miss the days where asking for a bit of help was an option. Do not misunderstand; Luminas has always been a boss to me, though back then he could be very hospitable—almost as if you could call yourself friends or something along the line. Of course I don't believe we were ever close in a way like that, and quite frankly I'm content that that's the case; I don’t believe in blurring the line between employer and friend. Anyway, because of all of that, I do not fault him for his "iron fist" way of ruling. The reality is that without it, I wouldn’t be in a place to help run the mortal realm. It’s simply “keeping up with the times,” I suppose…though that’s not the point. The simplest way that I can put my thoughts on Luminas is that he’s an entity; I know very well that he is there, but I can not consider him a person in the same way that I would consider.. well, any other god. At this point in time it’s difficult to see him as anything but a shadow over my shoulder, or even a warning bell of some sort. That much gets even more evident in recent days since I’ve been opting to make a bit more free time for myself rather than dedicating every second of my afterlife to working. It’s very clear that I’m upsetting him. Truthfully I know I need to remember my place as a god, but it’s very hard to after getting a taste of something.. fun.. Work is always my first priority, but yet I still find myself getting distracted with the Cherub of Life. Even after a thousand years, I suppose my mortality has never permanently left me. I fear that fact will come to bite me later on, I’m just not sure how.
No. Besides Ise's rather questionable comments, they echo a lot of my sentiments. You need to hear it every now and then to put yourself on track.----------------------------------- I want you to think rationally for once and not make a fool of yourself. Not to stop being angry. ---------------------You're using that language against me? ----------------------- Time prison.
Can you tell Ise to shut up forever thanks—————————— The fuck do you want me to do? *Not* be angry?——————————————— Okay fuck you——————————————————— Yeah and I’ll say it again, fuck you——————————————— FUCK
Lethos is my eyes and ears for the Kingdom, not implying that I do not know what is going on, Lethos just provides me with the more minor details is all. It's best to have a source of knowledge that you can truly rely on with no doubts. His ability also proves beneficial to me, if there is anything a God knows that they shouldn't, Lethos can quickly take care of it for me. Overall, Lethos is the perfect tool. And I'm sure Lethos wouldn't go against me, mortals are finnicky with their want to be recognized and known, so it's merely an advantage that I'm the only one who sees him. It makes Lethos all the more likely to listen to me and not betray me, it's not good to displease the *only* one who recognizes you, after all. Lest you want to lose the only being that can vouch for your existence. Mortal loneliness is a tragic thing, but at times, it can be beneficial.
The only person who remembers me is Luminas, quite tragic if I say so myself, but there isn't anything I can do about it, so it's best to not fret about it. I help him out from time to time with my ability, and in return, I get to be on his rare good side. It's a good thing that people do not remember me for this specific case, I would get a tag of "Luminas' lapdog" which is a tag that... another god already has. I don't want to lumped in with him... It's not truly a fair deal, but I'm merely a worker, so it's best to do what the boss says, he's the one that keeps me employed after all.
You're an addict.
I wanna visit the mortal realm --------------------------- I don't see why that matters
To love you would be to be enamored with myself, and I don't take kindly to being tainted with such hubris. God of Pride yet your personality isn't wholly yours, simply an extension of mine; is it right to be prideful over something that you have no control over? Something that isn't uniquely you?
You love me the most, right Father?
