I'm curious about something. I know a lot of mythology from my own world, but I'm interested in hearing about any another kind of mythology that's not well known on Earth around the 21st century. For instance, I remember reading a Greek story about how males and females were first created and I know there's differences between it and, say, Biblical mythology.

The one I remember reading was written by Plato. He said that humans used to be a mix of two people that consisted of one male and one female so they had two heads and eight limbs, but the gods didn't want them getting too powerful so they separated them into men and women. Supposedly that's where 'soulmates' come from, because you're looking for your other half. I'm also a little curious what people think of that story. [He absolutely does not have a personal ulterior motive for asking that particular question, none at all, nope.] Do you think there's any truth to it? That there's really such a thing as 'soulmates'? ... Or if it's even as limited as having to be between a man and a woman?

[Ah, the Church. It reminds him somewhat of being back in Italy where most everyone was strongly Catholic. There is no way he could be who he was there freely, so he understands at least any worry about being open about being different. That thought though...]

Sometimes you need to upset some people in order to really create change.

[Kelson missed the Church. Well, now that Edmund Loris wasn't running it and burning his subjects to death or chopping off peoples heads. Maybe now he could create some real change.]

Perhaps.

[Kelson wasn't quite ready to admit it yet.]

There has already been a significant change, allowing Deryni into the Holy Orders is a big step. I think it's time to wait and see how people accept it.

Not much that can be done about it here, anyway.

No, not here. Here, I suppose I'll just have to keep learning.
