World Mythology, Thursday, Period 3

[atreideslioness]

Ghanima was not wearing her normal formal Imperial clothing. Instead of her usual elaborate gown and hat, she was dressed in her Fremen robes, hair pulled back into a simple ponytail instead of twisted into a cascade of complicated braids as she sat on the floor, awaiting them.

"Today, we're going to discuss what happens when myth becomes reality," she said, gesturing for the students to take seats on the pillows and cushions heaped around the room. "As some of you may know, myth does not always stay detached from our day-to-day lives. On occasion, myth becomes fact, fiction turns reality, and we are left with the aftermath of our gods and heroes."

"This is not as theoretical as you think. In Fandom alone, anything is possible, and many of us are from worlds where that it has already happened at least once," Ghanima said. "So, what do we do when faced with such an event? How do we reconcile the merge of two previously incompatible worlds?"

"Sometimes that happens," Ghanima said, a slight smile hovering at the edge of her lips. "Humans will often tell histories over and over, until they move from fact to myth as it drifts farther from the heart of the truth."

"And how accurate are these myths?"

"Well," Terra snorted. "For starters, we're none of us two inches tall."
