Hi kid, the storyteller is here.
...
What do you think a storyteller is?
...
Well... that's... a good start.
Do you know about mythological creature?
Like dragons, minotaurs or such...
...
What do you mean "what about it"?
You wouldn't even know what they where if storytellers never existed.
...
My job is extremely important. I not only tell tales, I also impart knowledge. It is my work to help civilization to develope.
How do you think we went from nothing to all this?
...
Still not satisfied?
Whatever!
Why do you think I am here?
...
The old man asked me to convince you to be a storyteller too, but I think it wouldn't fit my character to just tell you the benefits.
What do you think a storyteller is the best at?
...
Exactly! We live for the plot. We travel between worlds to spread our stories. The universe is our theater and everyone is our spectator.
So, if you don't mind, I'd like to tell you a tale.
...
At least you're interested, eh?
Well... what would you like to hear about?
...
What about centaurs? Or fairies. Oh, there are the gnomes too.
...
Oh my! You are a stubborn one.
Then what about-
...
Gods? Are you interested in them?
...
That's... intriguing.
What do you think Gods are?
...
Well, I mean... you could say so. But are they really superior to other races?
...
Now you are just shouting whatever it comes to your mind, eh?
Yes, undoubtedly throught the history, everyone thought of Gods as omnipotent being. But...
...
That's not it.
Don't jump to conclusion.
Gods are just mascots.
...
I mean it. It still applies, now more then ever.
In the beginning they were powerful beings, but now only their shadows remain. They've become lazy.
What I admire are the primordial Gods. Today's Gods live on a gold throne built by their ancestors.
...
Got humbled, eh? Then what about it? I'll tell you about where Gods come from.
Would you be interested?
...
Then it's settled.
Then let me reach for my book.
...
Of course! I need a reference for my tales. This is every storyteller work tool. Did you thought we just knew everything?
Some prefer a crystal ball, others are scroll's fans... I am team book.
...
I just think books are the most suitable when traveling. And I can take notes on it.
Anyway, let's start.
This story takes place in the Mythical ages, when no God existed yet...
