We could say they all died of natural causes.

Does that seem likely?

That would make this embarrassingly morbid scenario a little less dark, wouldn't it?

Depending on which scenario we pick, it could be likely for any of them. It might need a twist though.

It would still need a little something. It can't be something like "and then the hero dies years later in a completely unrelated way" because that's no good for a story. Rather, it should be while doing something relevant--something that might take a lifetime to complete.

Then we want the mirror or the transformative experience, because changing yourself or making a magical mirror might take a lifetime.

Yes. I think it depends upon the kind of hero we have too. If it's someone like a soldier or a king or queen, then their duty to their people would last a lifetime as well and tie into the story. A transformation might be easier to work with because it's more open-ended than a mirror.

[shrugs] Any of them could be twisted in such a way, as long as none of the answers we receive contradict your plans.

Then we'll need to make sure to ask the right questions. If we have any to ask to begin with. Lavender and I were thinking that the mirror or transformation might be slightly easier to work with.

Do you have no opinion on the matter?

Indeed.

I suppose we're not interested in uncovering the stories he wants us to, but only in making our own?

We can be sneaky about making our own. So in that case, may we go with the transformation?
aristocritical: (show me you care.)

I'd like you to say something if you have an opinion. If you're indifferent then you needn't make one up.
