[Being told that he wasn't in Sylvarant or Tethe'alla was one thing... but being told that elves didn't exist? That people had never heard of half-elves? Was another. In retaliation, Mithos had promptly strangled the poor man who told him such falsehoods.

... In retrospect, that was probably the dumbest idea he'd had in years. So dumb, in fact, that he'd promptly been running - and severely injuring - whoever dared to come near him. They'd told him (before he started being violent, anyways) that he might want to seek Balamb Garden. Gathering directions hadn't been hard either.

But the minute he stepped on campus, Mithos knew he'd have a tough time getting inside. They were probably on the lookout for someone who fit Lord Yggdrasil's description. Detransforming into his child form, he then took a breath before taking his first step on campus. If he seems nervous, it's partially because he really, really needs to get back to his work.

Why the hell did some Sorceress decide that she needed to bring him to his crapsack world? He was fine as it was.]

[ooc | Mithos is indeed a NPC'ed villain for the event, so feel free to do your worst to him. Or absolutely nothing! People are on the lookout for his adult self (who looks like this disco dude), not his kid self, but feel free to mistake him for whoever and whatever. 8D Half-elf will not appreciate it.]

Mithos. Mithos Yggdrasil?

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

[He stops in his tracks.

Who in this strange world would know him...?]

Yes? [He turns, glancing over at the stranger. The kid feels like Ratatosk, but there's absolutely no way it's the summon spirit. Isn't Ratatosk still tied to the World Tree?] What do you want?

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

Mithos Yggdrasil. You--



You and your friends once made pacts with the summon spirits of the world, claiming you meant to save it...correct?

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

[So this was someone from his world.

Mithos bites his lips, taking a moment to carefully choose his next words. This isn't someone who'd only heard of the Kharlan War stories, but someone who might've actually lived through them - and thus knew him on a more personal level than he remembered.]

Correct. And I did save the world, didn't I?

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

So that Time Compression took you, too. I never thought that it could extend that far.

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs.]

Apparently. Are these Sorceresses really so powerful as to tamper with the fabric of time itself? [Although he doesn't openly show it, it clearly bothers him.]

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I've met many people here, who were affected by the same thing. To be able to do that, they must be powerful indeed.



Mithos. When did you get here?

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

[So there's more than just the two of them... Ugh. Mithos feels his stomach sinking even further.]

Just this morning. ... You?

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

Weeks ago, now. I've been looking into ways to return, but there's been nothing yet. And what do you plan to do here?

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

[Good question.]

Find the one who brought me here, of course. Barring that... [He shrugs.] I haven't thought that far ahead.

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

You won't get away here with what you did once before, you know. No matter what happens.

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

With "what I did once before?" Now why would I do something like that?

[He laughs, shaking his head.] No, it'd be pointless. Martel isn't here.

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

Good.



Is that why you did it all? Betraying the summon spirits, dividing the worlds...what did that have to do with Martel?

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

[So the kid knows everything. Mithos presses his lips together. This wasn't exactly the situation he had in mind, but if the kid knows the whole story...

He might as well explain.]

Everything. Betraying the summon spirits, dividing the world into Sylvarant and Tethe'alla... it would all be worth it if it brought Martel back to me.

But as you see, it didn't.

[... And he knows it won't.]

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

So she died, then.



I'm sorry for your loss. But that can't justify your actions, breaking all those promises you made for the sake of the world.

[rainbowjudgment.livejournal.com]

What good is a saved world if you don't have anyone to share it with? [Granted, he had Yuan and Kratos but they... they didn't really count.]

I did what I had to do. The world is as it is... and no matter what I say now, it won't erase what happened.

[notspentinvain.livejournal.com]

No. It took thousands of years, but the world you created has been returned to the way it was meant to be. The damage you've done hasn't disappeared, but it is being repaired.
