Please, explain.

@Disdain

What would you like me to explain?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

And why is that purpose now negated?

@Disdain

Because they no longer require protection.

<Snipped quote by The World>

Bah. It's not a waste of time. And if it makes you feel better, we can go think about Osiris after we deal with this.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Opens my mouth, and then closes it again, thinking* What was your previous purpose? I don't suppose tryign to heal a physical malady will get us anywhere at this point, and I know you're not one for obfuscation.

@Disdain

To protect the Codex.
*My breathing becomes more steady*
I have an additional two hours.

<Snipped quote by Bishop>

Well, we know that isn't the case because we know there were multiple writers over various time periods. It would also technically fall under "historical fiction" since much of it was exaggeration of or based loosely on actual events and people. Apollonius and Yeshua are examples of this.

@DarkwolfX37

According to most historians, this is incorrect. The part that may be considered "fiction" by historians who do not believe in the legitimacy of the Bible as a source of spiritual truth is depictions of miracles, but the overlying accounts, as a whole, are considered reliable and accurate. Yeshua is just the Hebrew spelling of Jesus (the name "Jesus" is an English translation) and if you're referring to Apollos (as it is written in most modern versions of the name) was an early Christian at the origin of its premier as a religion. All writings about Christ directly were written by eyewitnesses, while all writings supposedly about Apollonius were written over a hundred years after his death by Philostratus and are not accepted as legitimate Christian literary canon. You cannot take gnostic or other external texts and argue against internal consistency or legitimacy as it is not part of the canon to begin with.

Why do you need a purpose to keep yourself alive? What's the connection?

@Disdain

That is what sustains me. It allows me to keep myself alive.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What changed?

@Disdain

Nothing. Without a purpose in life, I have no source of living.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

And why are you no longer keeping yourself alive?

@Disdain

I cannot.
*Sits down and crosses my legs*
As I mentioned, I lack the capability.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

You came here to spend time with me. I'm not sure how you've forgotten. And now we're here attempting to save Abel from uncertain death.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

How were you previously remaining alive?

@Disdain

I kept myself alive.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Please, explain.

@Disdain

I cannot remain alive purely because there is no instrument by which I may do so.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

In what manner are you dying?

@Disdain

You misunderstand my response.
