Four days, three moons.


This was how long the new guests have been residing in the temple.

The atmosphere had switched from its calm and eerie quiet.

The cracks on the wall seemed to have shrunk and the bland colors were brought to life. The paintings seem to move with the ambience and firm stands. Warriors sparring and dancers taping their feet to the long silent music.

Laughter and voices from high and low volume could be heard from a room, masked with the light of never ending candles.

The Moon's hair had covered the Sun's sea and she whisked her dazzling hair for eyes to pry. The Sand- with no opinion to share- decided to flow close to the temple.

"Would you like more wine, Lord Zoro ?"

You asked the Tiger God who sat in his usual spot at the grand dinner room. Only one row of tables was centered in the room, with seats lined up one beside the other. Your voice echoed in the tall room and reached the God's ears.

You stood on his right with a ceramic jug, a light brown, like dry soil, and painted motifs on the surface.

Zoro glanced at you, though you weren't aware, and nodded firmly, letting you pour the pleasurable beverage in his glass.

"Hey can I have some too ?" Another man, wearing a monkey mask, jumped in his seat with his glass extended to you. He smiled up at you and you couldn't help yourself but smile back as well.

The Monkey God 'Monkey D. Luffy', God of party and festive.

Out of all Gods from the tales, he was the friendliest, and If not, the most devoted God of all. The tales and myths would say that he would bring joy to children and guide the lost ones back home. He was depicted to have the least maturity among all and behaved as a child himself.

"You idiot ! Last time you had some, you started causing chaos !" The only female God present, the Cat God, bonked the smaller man's head, or more precisely, the top of his mask.

The Cat God 'Nami', God of greed and finance.

She was the ruler of the money partition. You remembered a small story about her mischievous act, of her greed being as huge as her ego and would steal fortunes from other Gods. Apart from it all, she was always portrayed as a charismatic woman with the strength and intimidation of the thunder. She was one of your favorite out of them all and you felt honored and timid to be able to see her.
