The Beginning of Our Story

"Gather round, and here to the story of  our queen."

"Hundreds of years ago there was a war, one like no other. The Olympians, the minor deities, the demigods, and even the Titian's all fought in unison against a force so powerful that Gia herself looked him away long ago. His name was μεγάλος καταστροφέας, he wreaked havoc and bloodshed everywhere. So for the good of everything, Gia and the other primordials looked him away long ago. And everything was okay, for then. But two decades ago he escaped. And this is when the story begins....... 

20 years ago:

At the winter solstice, the meeting of the Olympians. Zeus, god of all gods, king, master of lighting. His wife, Hera, goddess of marriage, queen of the heavens, lady of the peacocks. Poseidon, god of the seas,  the great hurricane, lord of horses. Demeter, goddess of the harvest, mother of crops, lady of pigs. Hades, god of the dead, lord of the underworld, master of shadows. Hestia, goddess of the hearth, calming flame, lady of family. Ares, god of war, warrior of Zeus, slayer of many. Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare, lady of Athens, weaver of crafts. Hephaestus, god of the forge, craftsman of the gods, lord of fire. Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, lady of doves, envy of mortal women. Apollo, god of the sun and music, master of the arts, slayer of python. Artemis, goddess of the moon and the wild, mistress of the great hunt, protected of women. Hermès, god of travel, messenger of the gods, the great thief. Dionysus, god of wine and parties, master of leopards,  lord of the mind.

These are the 14 gods and goddess that are gathered in the hall of thrones to make a great choice. 

"We are threatened with a war we can not win on our own," king Zeus said with a grave voice.

"We can not just sit here and do nothing, we need to fight!" Ares argued back. 

"I never said we were going to do nothing, but we need a plan. We can not do what we have been doing."  Zeus stated.

"We must assemble allies, with others, not just those in the pantheon, we need Romans and Greeks together." Athena said, her steel eyes hard enough to break celestial bronze. Other nodded in agreement.

"But it is a dangerous move, they have been spectated for a reason, they last time they crosse, the American civil war happened and more innocent lives were lost then demigods." Poseidon stated, remembering the loss of nine of his sons and three of his daughters. It was to much.

"If we do not then we'll surely die!" Hera said taking Athena's side.

"What if we introduce them here, on Olympus, that way if things get out of hand we can intervene, we can also bring in the Norse, if things are as bad as beloved then they would have to know to be ready." Artemis interjected, wanting to stop this before it came to much. 

"That is a very dangerous idea Artemis, it could end in bloodshed," Apollo said, he was worried about this war, more then he wanted to admit.

"But if we don't it will still end in bloodshed, possibly more if we do not" Hermes said, Artemis nodded in agreement. 

The gods argued back and fourth until Zeus had enough. Throwing one of his great bolts down, the sound made the council go quite.

"We will angst our allies, Athena I want you, Apollo, and Ares to unite the Romans and Greeks, Hephaestus, I want you to start on armor and weapon production, Artemis, you know the land getter then anyone of us, you alert the Norse and start scouting possible allies, Hermes go with her. Dionysus, go to camp half blood and alert the demigods of the up coming war, Aphrodite you, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia gather the minor gods. Poseidon and Hades, the three of us need to talk." Zeus said with the pride and confidence of a king. They all nodded and went to do what was assigned of them.
