Myron Epimetheus

All people, it has been said, by virtue of their very existence as people, desire to know.* The hunger for knowledge burns with a terrible vigor within the little man and the vigor of that hunger now gleams in his eyes. “‘Led,’ you say? And who is it that has led you here? I simply must know!” There is a real excitement animating the stiff, dry limbs of the sage. “Yes, yes in as much detail as you can possibly provide. ‘An undead entity’ you say? Why this is indeed simply a fascinating thing!” The confusion on the young man’s face does not deter the insistence of the little man who grasps his arm with his own cold hands and leads him to the chair. “Yes, yes, sit down so that you are comfortable while you speak. ‘A riddle’ you say? Then we shall have to inquire into the solution! But surely there is more to this than you have told me. Please continue.” He notices the slight shiver in the young man and this reminds him of the strangely persistent chill in his own body. “Ah! You are cold! It is no wonder then that you do not believe that you know anything more – it is so hard to think clearly when one is cold. Yes, yes, thinking is always so much easier when one has something warm to drink.” A few muttered words later, the little man hands Brendan a newly conjured mug which he fills with warm water from the kettle.

* A paraphrase of the opening line of Aristotle’s Metaphysics. Sorry - as should be obvious, Myron is a helpful way for me to relief some of the semester’s academic pressure *LOL*

ooc: NOTE - Myron does hot have the damaging cold touch of lich – his hands are simply cold with the coldness of not being alive. There is also absolutely no trace of evil about him, he seems to be an incredibly active mind alive inside a very dead body.
