Fourth: Myths and Legends, backdated to Valentine's Evening (Video; un: Caster)

[colchismagecraft]

[There were advantages and disadvantages to using the money she'd gotten from carrying out Morgana's suspicious request in order to find a larger place to stay. On one hand, she had more space to keep her things and it didn't feel so cramped - she might even have room for a potion-brewing workshop at some point. On the other hand, yes, she had more space to herself, but it was Valentine's Day.

And she was here by herself, without the one person she wanted to spend it with.

After spending a week or so chasing around a man from her world who was responsible for her demise.

Desperate for something to take her mind off all of it, she took to the network to try and find a distraction.

Caster can be seen sitting in a darkened room, face and body mostly hidden by the shadows of her cloak. You know, because that totally didn't look ominous.]

For those who haven't met me yet- I am known as Caster. A pleasure.

As the people who've been brought here are from many different worlds, I can't help but be a little curious. Tell me, what myths and legends are the most well known, where you're from? What about those you personally find the most interesting?

I'd say that the Greek Myths are my personal area of interest, but... picking a favourite would be difficult.

[A hint to who she was, perhaps, but it wasn't as if she'd actually told many people she was a heroic spirit from myth - so it should be a safe comment.]

Either way, feel free to share. I'm curious to know who's myths overlap with the ones I know, as well as learn a little about other people's worlds.

[There was a short pause, before a dark smirk comes into her face. She may have been just a little bitter about the whole cupid arrow nonsense.]

...Ah, and Archer? If you're watching this, I will make you regret humiliating me with those arrows of yours-!

[Chaldea would probably find one eventually.]

...It depends on the hero, I think. Some hailed as such do not deserve that title.

But, that Brabo seemed as if he'd earned it on his own merit.

[resistetmords]

[Scrapping the bottom of the barrel to pull out a new 2 star servant....]

Oh yes, there are certainly plenty that don't fit what a hero would be considered. But such is human nature I suppose.

He certainly did and shows that bravery and cunning can overcome any bully. I don't remember him ever wanting anything in return either....

[colchismagecraft]

[The curse of gatcha.]

Any that come to mind for you as undeserving of their status as heroes?

...hm. You're right, he didn't, from the story you told. The people came forward on their own to praise him.

[resistetmords]

Hm, Jan de Lichte might be one to a point. In terms of Greek heroes Achilles.

Yes, from what I remember of him he was quite a nice, young man. Though that was a long time ago....

[colchismagecraft]

Jan de Lichte...? I can't say I've heard of him. Achilles certainly.

From what you remember?

[Was this person a lot older than she first suspected? Hm...]

[resistetmords]

He was a highwayman that became rather famous, like Robin Hood... though honestly highwaymen weren't all that heroic....

Well it was a long time ago like I said.

[colchismagecraft]

[Today the mun found out that in some myths Medea and Achilles ended up marrying. Who'd have thought?]

I see...yes, that is fair.

...It sounds as if you have lived a long time.

[Belgium certainly didn't look it, so it wasn't an implication that she looked old - but she almost reminded Caster of a Heroic Spirit in her own right.]

[resistetmords]

[Greek mythology can get super weird.]

Right? I mean it's not fun hanging around highwaymen when you're hanging from a rope.

[Shudders!]

But yes I have over a thousand years now... I think.

[Give or take, but yes, it's fair to say that she's been around for a while. Just don't go calling her granny!]

[colchismagecraft]

[Yes, yes it can.]

Very true.

Over a thousand years...does this mean you were around during the Age of Gods?

[There was a chance, with that answer. It sounded like Caster was the older of the two by some way, but she couldn't be sure exactly when the Age of Gods came to an end.]

[resistetmords]

I don't know what that is, but probably not?

[A thousand give or take, maybe. She doesn't really sweat the specifics of it. There was no real point to it as far as she was concerned.]

I have been around for a while though.

[colchismagecraft]

I see... I admit I've been around for some time, myself.

[Okay there was a long gap between her lifetime and her summoning in the modern world, but details, details.]

[resistetmords]

Really? Do you mind if I ask for how long?

[Though she can already take a guess.]

[colchismagecraft]

[Give her a minute, she's trying to figure this out.]

Let's see... my lifetime was at least 3,000 years ago.

[resistetmords]

Ah, that's... quite a while ago! Around Grandpa Gaul's time I think.

[Way before Little Belgium was even a thought!]

[colchismagecraft]

...Interesting. Your family have been around a long time, then.

[resistetmords]

Of course, you can think of as kind of like spirits.

[Sort of really oversimplifying things there.]

[colchismagecraft]

I see...the same could be said for me.

[The plot thickens!]

[resistetmords]

[The plot has me on the edge of my seat!]

Really? Does it have something to do with your name?

[colchismagecraft]

Mm. My true name at least.

[Not that she's going to give that one out over the comms.]

...But Servants- well, supposed 'Heroic Spirits' like us go back a long time.

[resistetmords]

Heroic Spirits?

[colchismagecraft]

Don't be fooled into thinking that 'heroic' says anything about my moral calibre. Simply, it just means that we're beings who made enough of a mark to become renowned- either in myth or history, for better or for worse.

[resistetmords]

So then, who are you?

[colchismagecraft]

[Wow, asking her to reveal her actual name after just meeting? And she wasn't even her Master!]

...It's as I said, I go by 'Caster' here.

Unlike others I've met, I certainly don't intend to tell people my true name that readily.

After all, you wouldn't reveal your entire history to someone you've just met, would you?
