Mortal?

[Sagira is confused about the term]

[nocturnal_bound]

[The golden colored falcon watches the young one from a high perch. His feathers glisten and shine in the sunlight.]

In other words, someone with a limited lifespan. A basic truth for many living creatures... They more they age, the closer they are to death's door.

Unlike myself. I had been more recognizable and revered as a god, centuries ago.

[wherehuman]

[She thinks on that a moment.]

Would that count for those changed by magic?

[Because she's not sure if she would still count.]

[nocturnal_bound]

It would depend on the magic; be it a gift, a curse, or both. Not all magic is the same.

[What he'll say next might surprise her. While speaking, he's keeping in mind to use the simplest of words.] I can feel your aura. Your spirit, it differs from mine. Meaning, my abilities work very differently from yours.

[wherehuman]

It... was a mistake, Dominic didn't really focus it.

[She rubbed her arm a little] What does it feel like?

[nocturnal_bound]

I know not of this Dominic. I know of several others who possess their own magics, but not one by such a name. What did this being do?

[It takes a moment for Horus to decide in how to explain.] It feels... odd, other than different. No reason exists for me to want to change my body shape.

[the_cupbearer]

May. That's rich. [ Leaving out the part about him not being mortal, but that will come later, Ganymede's sure. ]

And why, pray tell, would I want to approach you?

[frontiertownmaverick]

[Maverick does not move from where he is.]

That’s mighty kind of you, stranger, but I don’t know the first thing about you or your kin and what a critter such as yourself would be doing here. So…if it’s all the same, I will keep a respectful distance.

lol the awkwardness to come once Horus understands

[nocturnal_bound]

[Horus tilts his head in a natural bird-like movement on his perch as he regards this interesting individual. Something feels off about him. He looks like a human, but...

A hint of amusement can be heard in his reply.]

Do as you like. I'm capable of seeing you from afar, if you prefer not to come closer.

[This formerly recognized god of Egypt won't demand respect or praise. His reign had ended centuries ago, and he's already accepted that.]

Interesting. You look human in appearance, but don't have the actual aura of one.

[nocturnal_bound]

[A laugh of amusement comes from the immortal golden falcon.]

As you wish! I can see you just as clearly.

As to what I'm doing... I'm waiting for my human companion to return home. I don't recognize you, and I'm certain she wouldn't know you.

[Horus won't make a move at all to try to divebomb this man. He's friendly, unlike most of the other demonic critters from the other realm.]

Ganymede will shrug it off. he's used to it.

[the_cupbearer]

Oh, I can only imagine you can.

[ Good that he's not asking; Ganymede is giving neither respect nor praise, as he hasn't to many deities in quite a while. ]

I am human. What I am not is mortal. Subtle difference.

[nocturnal_bound]

My vision is similar to any bird of prey.

[Horus states this as just a basic fact. There's no arrogance or ego to his tone.]

Ah... You're slightly different from anyone else I know. There are a few demonic creatures who share human traits. It goes the same way with some angel types I'm familiar with.

Apologies on my earlier assumption.

[His energy reading capability isn't very accurate, and he holds no shame in admitting to being wrong.]

[the_cupbearer]

Do yourself a favor and keep any bird of prey qualities firmly over there, thanks.

I am neither demonic nor angelic. I was born human, I remain human. The only thing thaat changed was that I now cannot die.

[nocturnal_bound]

You don't like being seen? [He actually doesn't understand why Ganymede would say that, or what the problem could be. He can't help but be curious.]

How did this change occur?

[the_cupbearer]

I don't like being seen by anything that compares themselves to birds of prey.

It was a gift. [ Said incredibly dryly; it was not a gift designed for him to enjoy. He knows this. ]

[nocturnal_bound]

[... Alright, he'll relent. He doesn't understand, but he'll respectfully drop the matter. Even though the man dislikes him, he still finds it very interesting in getting to know him.

Perhaps it's a fine time for introductions.]

I am Horus. I haven't been needed as a deity of the sun to the Egyptians. A smaller group of humans currently rely on me to help them in battle.

Is your gift more like a curse? From your tone, you don't seem to like it.

[frontiertownmaverick]

With those eagle eyes of yours, I should hope so.

[Humor? It certainly is.]

No, I'm sure she wouldn't. I'm from Frontiertown, but some personal business has me away from there for the next few days. I ain't exactly from these parts.

[He wants to be anywhere but Frontiertown for the next full moon.]

[nocturnal_bound]

[A chortle comes from him. That's a well said and nicely timed remark!]

I've never heard of Frontiertown.

[This is both very interesting and strange to him. He had freely flown across the world before he had offered his aid to a small group of heroic humans, his companion included.]

How far is it from Tokyo?

[frontiertownmaverick]

Oh...very far! Clear across the world in the American West.

[nocturnal_bound]

I once soared for days at a time from one coast to the other of America, years prior to where I've currently resided.

My name is Horus. Centuries ago, I was once revered as a god in Egypt until the humans there no longer needed me.

[He wonders if this man recognizes anything familiar of the immortal bird's name, and his origins in the human dimension.]
