A new age of Divinity: Theomachy

Welcome to Mount Olympus

The four walked through the blinding white light and out into the glorious Mount Olympus. The sun was shining and as they looked closely, they could see Helios in his chariot guiding it across the sky. He looked down at them and waved, so out of politeness, they waved back. As they looked around, they saw that the palace of Hades was an inverse of the one on Olympus. The one in the Underworld was dark, cold, and uninviting. This one was bright with marble, quartz, gold, and silver. Unlike in the Underworld where all the souls, aside from in Elysium, were trudging along for all eternity, here people, creatures, and Gods were walking around, conversing, and even buying things. As they walked around, they could see dragons flying through the skies and perches on the cliffs of the great mountain.
"This place is unreal," Mikayla said as she stared in awe at everything.
They kept walking around, completely enraptured by everything they were seeing. Gods were walking around as if they were Mortals down in the Mortal World. None of them had any idea where to start looking for Gorgon blood, but they had also never been on Olympus. Athenian Warriors were seldom welcome there for... reasons that were becoming increasingly obvious, given her mother's true nature. They could hear hammering over the edge to their right and they all went over to the sound. They had been expecting to see some kind of Cyclops or Gigantes or something... not what they actually found. What they found was the workshop of the great Masonry God, Hephaestus. They looked down through his opened roof and saw him and Talos working in their forge. Beth decided to stop wasting time and prepared to hoist herself over the railing.
"What- are you crazy? Get down here!" Eden whisper yelled as she pulled her friend back down using roots as she was too heavy for her to move on her own.
"I was about to go down and get an Olympian's help against another Olympian," Beth explained "What is the problem?"
"Okay, firstly, I doubt he would appreciate someone just dropping down into there," Eden replied. "Secondly, jumping down there, even for us, would damage our bodies to the point that fighting Athena or even her warriors would be nearly impossible." Mikayla sat on the railing and looked down at the opening, seeing a shimmering light spark every so often in the roof's opening. "Maybe we should find another way in if we are actually doing this."
"Yeah, we'd also probably get cooked if we jumped down there, even Kenneth," Mikayla mentioned, which drew the other three's attention.
"Why do you say that?" Kenneth asked.
"Well, that shimmering is a red and orange color. Greek magic tends to be pretty easy to figure out based on the color. Stand back."
She hopped off of the railing and when the three had gotten back, she kicked a piece of it down. They watched as it tumbled down the mountain, bounced down toward the opening... and was instantly incinerated. The magic had shown itself in the split second and the ashes fell down onto Talos. The robot didn't even notice but this new information was incredibly useful.
"Oh, shit!" Kenneth exclaimed.
"Yeah, we should uh... probably find a way down there that won't get us killed," Beth decided "Come on, let's figure something out."
They walked through the sweeping city and found several more Gods. There were a lot of Gods which, while clearly being Gods and thinking themselves important, none of the four had ever heard of. The only one any of them could place from the lesser known Gods was Koalemos, the God of Stupidity. While talking to him, it was clear he lived up to his title. His answers ranged from completely nonsensical, to incoherent, to entirely irrelevant from the conversation. After walking away from him, they tried to find someone else to help them... and then they ran into Aristaeus. He was the God of Useful Arts, so obviously he must know how to get into Hephaestus' forge, right? Well... no, apparently not. All he would talk about were his accomplishments... like bee keeping, and cheese making. Sure, they all really enjoyed cheese, who didn't... but that wasn't even close to what they needed. They walked away from him... but while they continued walking, Beth had an idea.
"Hold on, maybe if none of these Gods have any useful information, why not talk to Coeus?" She suggested.
"Hey, yeah! Let's go down to Tarturus and talk to a Titan who'd probably love to tear Eden apart just for being related to one of the women who helped put him down there, and also the sister of the old Underworld queen," Mikayla replied sarcastically.
"Yeah, no offense, Beth, but I do not feel like going down to face the people my mother took down and my sister helped my uncle keep imprisoned and tormented," Eden agreed.
"Yes, obviously we are not going back down to The Underworld and especially not into Tartarus, do you think I have gone mad?"
"Yes," The girls responded in unison.
"Okay, rude," Beth retorted "But while I was a part of the Athenian Warriors, I was told about the Biosphere Reserve. It is apparently in the lowest part of the mountain. The center or something, it should not be too hard to find."
"Uhuh... and this is important, why?" Kenneth asked.
"From there, we can contact the King of the Underworld, and if we have something to offer him, we can get one wish."
"Oh, okay... and since now Hayden's the king, we'll be able to say you'll fuck him and then send you down there, fuck him, and the three of us get to talk to him," Mikayla finished "Oh yeah, it's all comin' together."
"Guys, why?!" Beth covered her face as it was turning red from embarrassment.
"It would be the best option," Kenneth explained to Beth "He is a Greek God and they are incredibly horny. We should just do it and you can bang a God whenever you see him again and we are not at war with one of the most powerful Olympians."
"Okay, you know what? Fine, fucking... fine!" Beth exclaimed, embarrassed and exasperated "You are all morons."
They all walked toward the reserve, it being very easy to spot as it was a gigantic spherical hole carved in the gigantic mountain. There was an eerie black mist constantly floating out of the hole, which made sense as it led to the only crack into the Underworld from Olympus. As they walked down, the fog grew to be more and blinding until they could not even see their weapons on their hips. After walking down several flights of stairs, they finally made it to some kind of pool. They looked down into it for a few seconds before the water began to swirl into a sort of dark purple and blue whirl pool. After about five seconds, the whirlpool slowly opened up and revealed the shrouded form of Hayden, lord of the Underworld.
"You have summoned me and I need only one thing from you in return," He told them, not having looked up to see his friends "I only need an offering- oh, hey! I hadn't expected to see you all again so soon."
"Hey Hayden, how are you doing down there?" Eden asked as they all looked down into the pool.
"Not bad, it is weird though, like it's not hot, cold, there's just no temperature in this part of Hades, but enough about that. What did you need?"
"We need to talk to a Titan," Kenneth sighed "And our offering is Beth-"
"Deal, which one do you need?"
Beth groaned and put her face in her hand while Mikayla replied "Coeus."
"Alright..." Hayden turned and walked out of the throne room, only for the pool to close back up, and open a moment later in Tartarus "Okay, here he is. Have a party." Hayden disappeared in a cloud of death and Coeus appeared in front of them.
"I... smell Olympus..." The Titan growled, his chains binding him by his throat, wrists, biceps, chest, thighs, and ankles "I smell... Demeter..." He turned to them and growled as he saw Eden "I should've killed her... back when I had the chance... but you will work just as well!" He jerked his arm and tore his chains apart, then grabbed Eden by the throat "I will make you suffer for what she did to me!" He ripped her through the pool and before anyone could try to help, the pool closed... and stayed closed.
