[He didn't care much for storybooks, as they were for children, but even so, this one intrigued him. It was about his home world, after all. So he kind of...reads it aloud, unaware that the journal is open.]

You say that like you were there...

[marionttepurple]

Hm? Of course I wasn't. The Dark War happened about hundred years ago, after all.

[sonofpaladin]

Your world had a war too, Carl?

[marionttepurple]

Yes. It was the battle between humanity and the Black Beast, which I mentioned.

[disguisedsword]

A good rule of thumb, whenever a tale begins with "Once upon a time", what follows is generally not the true tale. While you speak as though you should have been the one writing the tale instead.

[marionttepurple]

Aside from not mentioning the aftereffects, this is actually very accurate. I didn't mean for it to come off that way...I was just noting that it should've at least said more.

[his sister was involved, but he has no idea. or rather, doesn't want to believe it.]

[disguisedsword]

Well, tales rarely tell the entire story. Omissions make everything seem better and it easier to look at the past in a better light. But I am curious that you say it's accurate even though it's told in such a simplistic manner. [ Because when he tells stories about the past, he hits on all the important details. ]

[marionttepurple]

The points it does mention are correct. The Black Beast...the Six Heroes...

[tehoniongirl]

I think, a lot of times, the details get lost over time. The seeds of the story stay, though.

[marionttepurple]

All the details are there. I just wish they mentioned more.

Hm?...Sis?

[tehoniongirl]

You could always tell your own version. So people would know the whole story.

[marionttepurple]

Nearly everyone back home already knows the whole story.

[no, no they don't.]

I do think this...retelling should at least mention ars magus and seithr, though.

Am I overthinking it, Sis? After all, if it's told for children, it might make it too complicated.

[drivesaniisan]

[A scoff.]

You speak of it as if it were a child's tale.

[marionttepurple]

The presentation seems like one, but we know it's anything but.

[drivesaniisan]

If this place is going to have any sort of information on our homeworld, it could at least get one that is even remotely accurate. [Not that he cares or anything BUT STILL.]

[marionttepurple]

[hey, tsubaki would've wet her panties over this.]

It is accurate, just...simplistic. Those are the basics, after all.

...Are you perhaps annoyed at the Librarium's lack of mention?

[or the weapons created during the war? because if he comments on anything like "Nirvana" he is going to flip a shit]
