author's note(s)
T for language; mythos takes heavy inspiration from, well, D&D // long live FR (and also a bit of Bridge to Terebithia, and also Borderlands 2, and also Slaughterhouse Five, and the other usual suspects)
and now for something completely different

EPITAPH

This used to be the story of Natalya the Invincible, Bucket Knight, a young farmgirl in a wartorn world who, after fleeing the ashes of her ruined windmill of a home, waged a deadly assault on a realm of monsters to exact revenge for her slain family.
But this isn’t really a story about Natalya, because Natalya is a fictional character from a campaign for Dungeons & Dragonite, word become flesh on a steady diet of imagination, fortunate dice rolls, and wish fulfillment.
This used to be the story of Nathalie Leroux, a freshman in high school who, after being ignored by most of the people in her life—and especially her older brother, a Home Depot floor manager who thought that adventure was switching up the kind of beer you drank when watching football—found a game called Dungeons & Dragonite, and became Natalya, level one paladin, who would fight feral pokémon with nothing more than her farm tools and her wits.
But this isn’t really a story about Nathalie, either, because she never really finished the campaign and instead died two years later after having a fatal allergic reaction to anesthesia during what would’ve otherwise been an uneventful wisdom tooth removal.
This is instead the story of the boring older brother. His name is River.
