Well here we all are, as the music turns soft, the inebriation grows, the minutes slips slowly away, the party slowly winds down and we welcome the last few guests.
Phyre - A different and well thought out idea, that mixes history and classic art, to give an unusual but effective take on the theme. There is some wonderful imagery used here, and just as it should be death is most strongly present.
TJ - Classic mythology now as we learn the story of what it is to defy (or indeed anything at all to upset the gods, particularly Zeus). Keeping someone alive forever and not changing would ultimately be bad enough, but feeling the weight of the passing years and still not dying... Well that’s just torture.
Aber - a nice twist on mythology as we see two armies drawn into conflict through the machinations of Loki. It’s a clever twist, and a slight reworking of Arthurian legend, it could even be that classic final battle with the trikster in the Morgana role.
Ursa - Oft has it been said that life and death are the opposite sides of the same coin. And you know what it could well be true. Perhaps if there was such a thing as an anthropomorphic representation of such a concept then they might even be the same thing. Of course, life unending might not be the blessing one hoped for.
Cul - And we finish with a very sinister story. People do seem to jump into these things without considering the consequences. A man who would be king may find that the sting in the tale is but the first of many....
And there we go my friends the party is at an end. I trust that you have enjoyed yourselves, and meeting all the people here well.... What an experience eh? But now it is time to go. What? Oh no my friends we all leave together, this is but a step and the party never ends, out through a different exit than the one through which we came.
Just be excited about what you find on the other side.
I’ll be a long shortly. I have one last task. I’ll just lock the door and turn off all the lights.
GOODNIGHT.
