Depends on what thing you mean specifically. You're on pace to beat out all four of them in terms of medicine already, since even Zelda had only cursory knowledge of it, and he knew the most out of the four. I don't think any of you are on pace in terms of fighting, but those four had weird attributes that gave them natural advantages in battle, anyway.


Mmmmmppp...
*Purses my lips*
Can I say something that might make you mad at me?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

They also were much older than you are when they did them.


Are any of us on track to do those kinds of things?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

How so?


They still did all these great things that none of us four ever did.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

No. Pretty much just me.


So it’s the same.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

I haven't done everything. I still have being a good dad on my list, and I'm nowhere near the best at that. Plus, you know that I cheated to do what I did, it's not fair to anyone to compare to that.


Did mom cheat? Did the others cheat?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Yes, different. Not lesser. Not weaker, or slower, or dumber. Just different. There's no "winning" in terms of a life, Stella. There's no "losing" either. There's just "living" and improvement. To quote a once wise man, "strive to be better, always better... but never perfect." All I'm saying is that you shouldn't hold yourself to the standards you set on other people, that's a recipe for frustration and heartache. I'm sorry that I'm not giving the most poignant or instantly useful advice, but all I can give is my opinion and what I know.


That’s so easy for you to say after you’ve done everything you ever wanted to do and were the best in the world at everything you tried.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Well, that last one is debatable, to be fair. But just because I wasn't necessarily the actual strongest there was at the time, doesn't mean I wasn't up there. That's all I meant; embellishing things to make the stories more interesting for a young imagination. We didn't fake anything whole-cloth, at least, I promise you. Heck, there's observable evidence of most of it, and I'll gladly retell you whatever you want, as well as my memory holds up, at least. You can ask your mother the same things. She knows a lot I don't, and our subjective experiences might conflict, but I've never purposefully lied to you. Er, well, except about Project T.O.K., but I think you knew that already. I wasn't great at hiding that they weren't around to help out around the house, heh.


*Furrows my eyebrows in visible frustration*
If anything you’ve told me is true, then you have to see that where we are is so much different than them, or you, or mom.
<Snipped quote by Legend>

I did not. I probably embellished stories about them
*says under my breath*
and probably me too
*in a normal voice*
because I'm proud of them, just like I'm proud of you. But your view that they were perfect is only true in my eyes and probably your mother's as well. Objectively speaking, nobody's perfect. And you have your whole life ahead of you to do whatever you set your mind to. You don't have to do everything immediately.


Then is mom lying too? Are all these stories about where you came from and who you are, are all of them just fake? Was there ever any darkness, or Codii, or even some kind of scale? Do our brothers and sisters even exist?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

Stories from who? Again, their parents' opinions don't count, neither do those of the people working for those parents.


Did you lie about all the stuff you accomplished? All the stuff they did?
<Snipped quote by Legend>

They weren't. You're confusing subjective opinions of their parents with objective reality.


I heard the stories, they inherited so much from you and mom. They basically had everything.
