I've met them, as well, and served them in spite of how ill it fit my own nature to do so. The wounds linger, but I still wonder, often, what separates me from one of them. I thought it was divinity for a time, and then I thought it was an understanding of sacrifice, and now I think it may be some capacity for love and compassion that they were too calcified to possess, but which I have miraculously retained. Perhaps a little of all the above.
There is something about being a god--at least, one of the sort that Thor and myself are--that leaves you halfway between individual and Elemental. I am a person with a window in my soul that opens onto something impersonal and implacable, but I will cling to both my personhood and my divinity forever, unless they pull me apart.
Knowing that this is the way you see me helps keep the balance. Others would tell me the same, I'm sure, but you have a gift of perception not everyone shares.
