You said to be better than the things people say about you. Gods have no history, we are stories.

Did you know that my brother has fought wars that lasted a hundred years, liberated entire realms, and he remembers none of it because the tales never stuck? Centuries are nothing to a god. Over in the blink of an eye ... so, it's as if those things never existed.

Stories are just lies, and lies can be anything you can think up if you believe in them hard enough.
