[ a beat. ]

There is a famed tree located here. One that grants wishes, I believe.

[coinstability]

I've heard those rumours, but haven't been able to verify them or get a specific location. Do you think it exists?

[Connor has his doubts. More by the day, really, but one thing at a time.]

[ananym]

[ hmm. alucard takes his time before responding. ]

I have no reason to doubt its existence just yet.

[coinstability]

[Well, I have them Connor thinks, but opts to be less blunt than that in his response.]

I'm not familiar with the existence of such things in my own world, so I'm finding it less easy to believe it without seeing evidence.

[ananym]

I can see that. However, myself and the fantastical have always existed in tandem. So I am less likely not to disbelieve in myth.

[ he is one, after all. ]

[coinstability]

What do you mean by that exactly?

[Because it sounds like magic or fantasy territory, which Connor is only just getting a grasp of.]

[ananym]

I was a myth to the people of Gresit. I slept under their catacombs and they called me the Sleeping Soldier.

[coinstability]

So... you lived in catacombs and they formed stories about you? [Connor can't imagine why someone would live in an underground grave site, unless they had few other options or were engaged in something they didn't want others to see.] For what purpose?

[ananym]

I was there to recuperate from a wound. What I hadn't realized was that I was fulfilling an old prophecy. And the stories built themselves around my presence.

[coinstability]

[Prophecies - another abstract, mystical concept that doesn't get much play in Connor's experience of the world. His confusion is evident when he pauses, figuring out how to reply to that.]

And this prophecy ... was it something that happened as expected?

[ananym]

[ alucard takes a moment to reply. ]

As I was found by a scholar and a hunter . . . it fulfilled the parameters.

[coinstability]

[Fulfilling parameters is something Connor understands, it's just that applying it to something as abstract as a prophecy doesn't sit right. Anything framed vaguely enough could seem prophetic if it came to pass. With a sigh, Connor is reminded that he really has no experience in this area, and his default position is to dismiss it. He's trying not to do that.]

I see.

[ananym]

[ he smiles faintly. ]

It is a strange world I live. Not stranger than here, but strange indeed.
