Where Angels Dare to Trod

Islington is walking along the ship.  It is a steady pace.  But slow.  If people didn't know better, It would like like It was floating or gliding.  If you run, It will walk.  If you stop, It will continue Its pace.  Never changing, never pausing.  As if by walking, it can change something about this place.

It's garments seem to be made of light itself.  As It goes along, It is humming an ancient tune: The Lyke Wake Dirge (As sung by Benedict Cumberbatch)

And that's the interesting thing about this particular Angel: It seeks neither to offer help nor the counsel of others. It is simply walking.  Perhaps It is measuring the ship, perhaps It is weighing the integrity of the people gathered.  Whatever the reason, It continues on Its journey.  Simply walking....

"That is what I would like to know. They are doing a horrible job at it." Grainne huffed, folding her arms.

"It's very obvious when a boy dies before he becomes a man, one man dies young, another seemingly refuses to die, and someone ends up living far longer than they wish to." Grainne replied, abject in her resolution. "It should not be up to any being's singular will. It is like... it is like we are all simulations in someone's holodeck."

"I'm no longer mortal." She replied quietly, her voice dropping. "The Throne of Heroes never lets go of the souls it records as far as I know."

"That's all good to say, except when one hasn't the slightest idea of what a non-mortal thinks like." A frown, as the thought went over in her head. What did a non-mortal think like? The Tuatha had been strange at times, she hadn't fully understood their thinking.

Grainne gave him a wary look, but she saw no reason to refuse the offer. It may prove interesting, or at the very least enlightening into a different way of thinking.

"Even though I am... ... what's the word they use? A pagan?" Grainne lifted her eyebrows in query.
impossibilities: (Cheerful)

"I suppose. From different viewpoints, anyway." She didn't seem as convinced of that as she should. "So who were the others in your God's pantheon? I've never heard nor seen of any others, save possibly a mother-figure. Were the angels once considered gods?" She's taking that 'starting out as pagan' part literally.

She just raised her eyebrow. "I am not sure about that. I would not classify Aengus Og as neither angel," definitely not an angel, as nice as he could be, "or natural event, or Manannan mac Lir for that matter. And they were very much real."
impossibilities: (Surprisingly)

"Aengus is the god of youth, love and poetry in Ireland. Manannan mac Lir is the son of Lir, the god of the ocean. He watches over wisdom and tests people for worthiness, and also of Ireland. I knew them both personally." She said that a bit warily, tilting her head to the side. Wouldn't an angel know of the other divinities in the world?
impossibilities: (Encouraging)

For the first time in the conversation, Grainne gave him a pert look, standing her ground so to speak. "I speak by nature what they call Proto-Celtic in the modern era, their names have changed very little as far as I have heard. And it is strange but Aengus never called himself an angel or spoke of anyone over him save Danu herself. He was my father in law, you see."

Oh. She stopped there, realizing she had let her pride let slip one of the more connected pieces of information to her true identity.

It was very good Grainne couldn't read his thoughts, else she might have squeaked and ran.

"Ah..." She still wasn't convinced, as she knew that things could be very different universe to universe, but still... she had nothing she could use otherwise to argue. "It is strange though, do not all gods have red eyes?"
impossibilities: (Not funny)

[personal profile] impossibilities 2016-01-23 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Something did not set right with her at that. "Truly? All the gods and their close kin I have ever met had red eyes. Though, Gilgamesh has an ego befitting of one as well. Mayhap it is just that I have never met anyone with different eyes, but it's the kind of thing that you notice over time."

She hadn't bothered asking Cu Chulainn or Gilgamesh on their ancestry, but then those weren't the happiest of conversations to begin with, either. Missed opportunities.

Grainne didn't care about that part as much as it happened after she started traveling the multiverse. That was more difficult to pin down.

"Are you sure that it is the same in all universes, then?"
