Mike Bliley: Till We Have Faces 2


Till We Have Faces Role Play
Orual, my name is Theseus. I am but a demi-god, but have relevant information regarding your complaint. I have been following you for the last many years, and hope to impart my wisdom to provide you with a just reasoning. I hear your complaint and, when I really think further, I feel as if it is your justice that must be viewed unfavorably! You have acted in a manner that has brought Psyche trouble, brought an end to Cupid’s happiness, and caused the pain of Redival, Bardia, and many more. But the worst trouble you have done is to myth and to yourself. You have taken the myth of Psyche the goddess and transformed it to make yourself look like the hero. In so desperately lusting after the beauty you see from your sister, you have struggled with painting yourself as a hero. This, however, is not the case. The story of Psyche is justified initially, and much in the same way that you cannot see the palace, you cannot see the true ways of the myth, or of your own ugliness (internal and external). In your struggles to get past the errors of your ways, you seem to have succeeded; you convinced yourself that you have done right. It is the role of this judgment to remind you that, in fact, you have wronged via your impaired judgment. For the aforementioned crimes, then, we shall change your sightlines just a bit. For the rest of your life, the ends of your vision shall act as mirrors, forcing you to constantly look at your ugliness on the outside. By this, you also be perpetually thinking of your true inner nature, and will always have to be reminded of who you are as a person.
