Endgame: Part 2

[letsplayamod]

The week goes on. A small miracle, how quiet it is. With no motives or attacks to speak of, you can breathe a sigh of relief even when a tension gripes the air. So few of you now, what exactly would you do were Typhon to return and decide the game was over? Was Athena always going to be out of reach? And what exactly did she want you to find in the center of this mountain temple, anyway?

Questions abound, and no answers.

...Until this morning. The sky itself is clear with very few clouds, but something still falls into your home. Not "physically," though, it's more of a feeling. The sensation of some great power entering this space. Everyone will notice it, and the way it passes by, sinking beneath the floors - all the way to the bottom level.

And there it ends up, waiting for someone brave enough to investigate.

Was there a possibility of containing Typhon the way there may be with Athena? I am also generally more in favor of just killing her and being done with it, but I will not argue too much if she is given a sort of... intense, inescapable probation.

I am against solitary, of course.

Fenyx suggested we seal him back in Tartarus at the time. But we had no way to ensure he could not simply beak out again. Helping this world then leaving it to a likely future attack, we decided, was not a valid option unless we had a way to be more sure he was contained. And at the time no other option was on the table.

And yes, solitary would simply be torture at this point. Especially for an ageless god. Would have been such for Typhon as well.

[His goals were inexcusable but honestly he can't fully blame him for wanting to get out of that featureless realm]

Typhon... was much like myself: driven to pursue a goal that may not even have been possible. And should he have achieved it... it would not have brought him happiness in the end.

[Dying brought him a great amount of clarity on that front.]

He would not stop... could not stop, because he had no other reason to exist.

Indeed. Honestly, even with the other option, I am inclined to choose the permanent solution, but, well...

[...yeah, aoi...]
