I think a lot of us from our era posture themselves too highly. I spent a life as a merchant, as a warrior, and as a host. The majority of my time has been spent running a burlesque club, until we had been phased out. I remained at my manor, and quietly observed, intervening here and there. But at the end of the day, I was a normal troll. This title was given to me as I was forgotten by time. This is intentional. #suggestive
The immortality gives perspective, most go out in a blaze of glory, but I simply observe.
immortalit7?
I would've been dead long ago had I not reached the final path of enlightenment. I still age, but it's considerably slowed. I've aged maybe my equivalent of 20 sweeps since I had achieved my goal.
the final path of enlightenment? what's that?
Once upon a time a stranger had approached me with promises of power when I found myself at a low point in my life, when I was aimless. I followed his words, his mantra, his advice, and I became powerful. At the end of my teachings, he approached me. Offered me functional immortality with the promise that I would not enact monumental change as I had planned in my time. I agreed. I took up a more peaceful path in life, a less radical one.
that's fas(inating. do 7ou know who that stranger was, or did he hide his identit7 the whole time?
He obscured his identity. A troll, I knew that much, obscured his identity and caste. As soon as he whispered the truth to me, he was gone. Of course, I cannot share this secret myself, part of the rule was to keep it close to my chest. Ironically, a human set Ganset on her path but it got her about to where I was at my peak all the same. She is strong enough to bear the burden, but she has much to learn yet.
man. some troll. i've never heard an7thing like that. well, nothing like that a(tuall7 existing. and she does seem to be tr7ing, even if she's o((asionall7 (onfused and frustrated. i hope 7ou (an give her the big pi(ture, 7ou know? i think she deserves it.
I am trying. The first step is to relax. She can meditate just fine, but that's not really, relaxing? I put her in charge of the manor and by extension, the club, in hopes that it'll give her time to settle down.
i (an't sa7 i know her that well, but it does seem like relaxing doesn't (ome eas7 to her. although i'm not sure small business ownership is the path there, haha. still, i hope it works
