That is tough. They do seem like a particularly headstrong bunch of super-powered teenagers, don't they?<br/><br/>I believe that for the most part, they want to help. Why else would they be here? You have a lot of strong personalities who can clash, and that can be a lot to deal with.<br/><br/>Maybe this batch is more difficult than the rest, maybe they're needed for something special. In my experience, if things are more difficult then usual, there's often a reason behind it.<br/><br/>If there are blessed who can step up and take on more responsibility and carry the burden well, perhaps it would be good to give them some authority? Let them feel more a part of the decisions, more heard. headstrong youth do not like feeling as if they are being led around by the nose or kept in the dark. What's the phrase they use nowadays? That's so evocative? Mushrooms! Kept in the dark and fed shit. I love that.<br/><br/>Anyway. I'm rambling a little bit. I don't know if any of that was useful or not.<br/><br/>As for the connections to the gods, well... Does that fade with age at all? I honestly don't know. I would trade my connection for anything else in a heartbeat.<br/><br/>another perk of giving others more of the burden to bear is that you can take care of yourself better. Have a nice day or three of meditation out in the woods or something. I never saw the point myself, but I'm sure plenty of people do."
