Not in most people's worlds. Jesus and the Beatles are bigger than them in my own world but that is why they keep having kids. They fade when their worship or domain wanes. The god Pan faded last year because humans are destroying Earth and Selene faded because the stupid Romans decided they could only afford sacrifices for one moon goddess so they gave stupid Artemis her duties.
[ maybe that is why silena's zerzuran alter-ego wanted to save zerzura and sacrifice this world, to bring pan back. also fuck off artemis. ]
Luckily for my mom, love is powerful so she won't fade as long as humanity continues to be very incredibly human.
I'm sorry to interrupt, I would like to hear more about this at some point less fraught, but I have been informed by a colleague of mine, a Mr. Terrence Ephemera, that the rations on your trip may be poisoned and may cause people to go berserk. Please avoid them if you are able.
[ silena slaps a granola bar out of helena's hands, quickly explaining the situation because she honestly knows better than to take food from helena. ]
Good to know. Guess there's a time limit now if we don't have clean water.
[ time to be a reckless demigod and test it all!!! ]
Yes. Be careful. Please find Mr. Ephemera, he will do his best to look after you at my behest. He is a tall man, dark-haired, with a notable scar to the left of his face.
( it is possible that this place puts a halt to one's aging. he has not cared to inquire, as it is irrelevant to him in every respect.
yet, while he knows teenage girls to be prone to fits of pique, overexaggeration and theatrics, forever is an interesting word in this instance to use. after all, did he not come here in the moments preceding his own death?
she knows what he is. he does not think her one to say such things unless there is some element of willingness to discuss it, and she has been forthcoming about everything else so far. he is not curious for curiosity's own sake, but she has been kind to him, and humans are often troubled by such things. even, he imagines, ones that claim demigod blood.
part of him wishes his progeny were here. nora is a fairer hand than he. )
Yeah. You know how I said I faced the Lydian Drakon in single combat? I didn't win.
But it's fine! You don't need to feel bad or anything. I know where I'm going after this and I'm going to see Charlie again, he's waiting for me. I'm just stuck here for a while like a really kidnappy purgatory.
I do not feel badly. Death is a natural part of existence for most creatures, and it sounds as if you died valiantly. That is to be commended. I am certain the fields of Elysium will welcome you and you will reunite with your loved ones there.
[ she is used to people feeling badly because she is so young. well, she is used to marcos feeling badly, caroline had something of a different view on it all and silena doesn't often bring up her own death because she doesn't want people to feel bad.
it wasn't commendable, it wasn't heroic. she lied and betrayed her friends and then hurt them by dying. she doesn't correct godric because she doesn't want him to look at her the way she looks at herself. ]
( is it sweet if it comes from a creature that has made cruelty the better part of its existence? and who now understands it to be the more prudent way to deal with human kind? it is difficult to say. )
Be well, Silena. Please reach out to me at any time if you wish to speak more.

Aphrodite? Curious. They are not real entities in my world.

I can take care of myself, you know. I faced the Lydian Drakon in single combat.

But there is strength to be had in numbers, no shame in seeking assistance, and he is a good man.

As one who appears to be a teenager, I do understand your plight. Be patient with those that may offer you help. It is done out of kindness.

That's the plan, whenever this place lets me go.
