They've brought Mithos here. It's been two years since everything happened, but - [his pen trails off here, apparently not certain as to what to say next] ... I guess I didn't expect him to show up. Up til now I didn't realize that the Malnosso could and would bring people like him here, but I guess that was just me being complacent.

[Genis is in his room, supposedly doing his homework like a good student. His pen hovers over his journal now and then; he seems to be a little out of it. There's a lot on his mind.]

[For once, Genis isn't paying attention. Please do snap him out of it.]

[wise_maiden]

Thinking about Mithos?

[He looks up, mildly surprised. Oh hay big sis.]

Ah - um. Yeah. [He closes his journal and looks down.]

[wise_maiden]

It wouldn't be the first time that he was here. Honestly, considering everyone else who's around, it should have been expected.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

He's been here...? He didn't cause any trouble, though, did he?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

No, not really. ... Well, not for anyone who wasn't Yuan, in any case.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Yuan? Heh, I wonder...

So I guess I shouldn't be worried about him coming here, should I?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

Other threats have been brought here. Not many of them try anything when they find that they aren't in their own playground anymore. Some do, but ... in any case, we can only watch and see.

But... for your own peace of mind, it's best if you avoid him as much as possible.

[Action]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess that's to be expected, what with the whole issue of powers being limited.

Can't I go see him every now and then...?

[Action]

[wise_maiden]

First you were worried about him trying anything, and now you want to go visit him?

He's been here before.

[Fffff suddenly, ninjas!]

Ah - I guess I need to work on locking things properly.

He has?

[Ceiling Cat doesn't afraid of your filter.]

I suppose the abilities of the Malnosso are not to be trifled with.

[Filter]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Ah great, you saw it too? I really need to work on filtering things-!

- Yeah, I know.

[Filter]

[is-watching-you.livejournal.com]

Let us hope that he won't cause high amounts of trouble while here.

[Filter]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Yeah, hopefully.

... You know Mithos too, Tenebrae?

[Filter]

[is-watching-you.livejournal.com]

I do.

[Filter]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well, I guess if you're as old as you are, it shouldn't be a surprise.

[Filter]

[is-watching-you.livejournal.com]

Really, if you're as intelligent as you claim to be and have paid attention to what you've learned during your travels with Lord Emil, it shouldn't be hard at all to determine my connection with Mithos.

[ooc: It's probably that I'm replaying Abyss right now, but excuse the mun for her fail in remembering that Tenebie knew Mithos DX]

Huh, it's not that I didn't know. I just didn't remember -

[Thank goddess this is filtered :|b]

[Filter]

[is-watching-you.livejournal.com]

Forgetfulness is hardly a trait one so young as you should possess.

However, it is impossible for you to remember. I'd only explained my connection to Mithos to Lloyd, who had asked.

[Filter]

[kendama-pro.livejournal.com]

[Scowling here.] Ahh cut me some slack, will you Tenebie?

Oh, I see.

... What was he like back then, though?

[Filter]

[is-watching-you.livejournal.com]

My existence predates the creation of the Church of Martel and Cruxis, before the world had been split in two.

It was back then that I had first met a half-elf known as Martel--the Martel that has now become the spirit of the new Tree. Her brother, younger than she by some years, was Mithos--the boy known as Mithos the Hero. They were very close, and were searching, along with Kratos Aurion and Yuan Ka-Fai at the time, for a way to save the world. As a representative of Lord Ratatosk, I met them on several occasions, as they were trying to protect the Kharlan Tree--Lord Ratatosk's tree.

Mithos was a kind-hearted, intelligent boy, who wanted to believe in the goodness of people. He was full of idealism, and truly wanted to believe that everyone could have co-existed. In a way, he was not much different from you, Genis.

At that time, Lord Ratatosk was a kinder spirit, like a median between the Ratatosk and Emil that you know now. It is because of that... that he had placed his trust in Mithos and his companions, because he believed in them and their ideals. He assisted them, and even provided them with the Derris Emblem as a sign of his trust in them. However, Mithos had betrayed Lord Ratatosk's trust, as you well know, when he failed to not only revive the Kharlan Tree, but also split the world in two with the power of Origin. After that day, Lord Ratatosk had completely lost his faith in mankind due to Mithos' actions.
