Called Upon

Chapter 4

          In the chamber of order where godly matters intervene, the elders together with the gods established an unbearable discussion that invented multiple opinions. They supported a subject that thrived in the origin of existence. With an arousal of faith, they sought to entwine the gods with the realms of glory that will bequeath them in an unstoppable commitment. All the gods were present with the exception of Equilibrium who failed to attend.

Seven realms bridged their path but only seven gods could suffice. A strong will impelled them to announce the begotten champions. They commenced with fruition elated by their divine discovery.

Before they were about to begin, Zeus asked a question that got rid of his selfish needs. He asked that if they are given the realms, will they be prohibited to engage in other activities? Zeus wanted to know if their only focus will be driven towards the realms and that their desirable wants would be confined to the dustbin of history.

Chaos assured him that the realms didn't asked for their unwavering presence but needed their existence and their guidance. He added that the realms are like vessels of divinity and will swell the powers of anyone who wield it.

After everyone was satisfied with what was brought before them, the elders commenced to announce the begotten champions.

Hyperion started off to declare whom he had chosen.

      "The first realm belongs to..."  He paused when he failed to notice the presence of Equilibrium. He veered his sight towards Hermes who was standing beside the throne of Zeus which made him step back with fear.

He asked him why Equilibrium wasn't present, and he responded with cracks in his voice, saying he told him he was taking his son to see the whirling wheel of wishes, and that he will make up for all the time he will dispose of when he get back.

         "Very well as you say. The first realm is his today," Hyperion said.

         "Zeus your heart is pure and true. The second realm belongs to you," the measurer of destiny explained.

        There was a mild murmuring that denied the truth of what she said. They presumed she had exaggerate a fact that was impossible.

        "Hades will conquer the second realm. The underworld has an energy only death can overwhelm," Hel declared.

They disrupted a pending upheaval when they found the wisdom in Hel's words.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Olympus resided a great seer who maintained a stable connection with the gods. She was well known for her accurate predictions and unquestionable truth.

While she was looking through the sphere of destiny, she came across pending judgements that was soon to befall after the gods have been appointed to rule the seven realms. She accounted several misfortunes that burdened the future. One of which was the demise of Equilibrium-the god of balance.

She lusted to rewrite what was already written but it was impossible. All that she could do was to make known to the elders, maybe they could figure out a way. She quickly abandoned her dwelling and approached the forum with heated ambitions. After she left, a purple light radiated from the sphere and showed a miserable old man who was caring for his farmland.
