Mental Molding

The hydra deity was… Well, in terms of power it was a beast, but in terms of hospitality it was also a beast. The hydra's complete disregard for its subjects would of course cost it their loyalty when someone much better came along.

It was unfair that the hydra never asked to be worshiped and would now suffer consequences. Yet it was still to blame. Those in a position of power should always be open to the possibility of conflict. 

The only problem was that sometimes, even when aware of potential conflict, those in a position of power believed themselves too powerful.

Eon knew this well and used it against the prideful hydra. He had lived for many years and could be said to be one of the few experts of worldly conflict.

Human life was too short. By the time you gained worldly wisdom, you were already halfway through your life. But that wasn't to say you'd be a sage, there was always more to learn. At times, you could even repeat the same mistakes.
