If you haven’t read the first part of that senile old dragon rambling on about the man who broke Parthenope’s heart, click here. Then his story will make a little bit more sense. Don’t blame me for his ramblings though. I’m just the guy typing.
ou again. Why do you keep asking me about Parthenope? I already told you that Odysseus never even encountered her and that was her younger sister that threw herself into the sea.
Oh. You wanted me to talk about the man who broke her heart recently. Right. Right.
But first, you know why I don’t like you, right? You remind me of George. Yeah, Roman. That George. You don’t look a thing like him. But something about you, you remind me of him.
You know he killed my wife, right? You didn’t know that? Yeah, that was my wife he killed. And then people made him a Saint?
I really don’t like a lot of you, especially what happened in Japan.
What do you mean you don’t know what I’m talking about. Japan. 1945. My son was visiting there and the whole city blew up. He got blown to bits while a hundred thousand of your kind got incinerated.
No, of course he didn’t get incinerated. You can’t incinerate a dragon. He got blown up.
There’s not that many of us left nowadays. Most of us have left Earth.
Why am I here? Because I’m old. I only got about 400 or 500 years left to live. We’re not like Olympians that live hundreds of thousands of years. We only live for a few thousand.
What? You didn’t know Olympians don’t live forever? Of course they don’t. Half of them were already killed when they had that revolution against the Titans.
No, Gaia isn’t an Olympian.
Don’t you people know anything?
Oh, the Siren. Living forever? No, stupid. That’s just a story. They live even shorter than we do. No, there are no Sirens left. Parthenope got moved to the Caribbean Sea but she died of old age. She was long dead before all those pirate stories that you guys all exaggerate about.
The man who broke her heart? Wow, Roman. You’re gullible. No man could break her heart. I just wanted to make you type more.
No, she died of old age and her body long ago was eaten by the fishes. There is no story to tell you. I don’t like you. Leave me alone.
No, stop typing Roman. I said leave me alone.
