With the echoes of their hard-fought victory still resonating in their hearts, the Godsworn stood amidst the remnants of the portal, a bittersweet reminder of the battles they had faced. They had vanquished Moros and his wraiths, but the looming threat of Hades and the enigmatic figure of Vesperis lingered on the horizon, urging them forward.
As they caught their breath and surveyed the scene, Alexander spoke up. "We've proven ourselves in battle, but to face the challenges ahead, we need more than what we currently possess. I believe it's time for us to seek guidance from the gods themselves."
Aeris raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "You mean, ascend to Mount Olympus?"
"Exactly," Alexander replied, his eyes filled with determination. "If we're to combat the darkness threatening Aetherion, we must gain the favor and blessings of our divine patrons."
Selene's heart raced at the thought. "Imagine what powers they might bestow upon us! It's a chance to unlock our true potential."
In that moment, a shimmering figure materialized beside them. Clad in ethereal robes and radiating an aura of divine energy, he introduced himself as Hermes, the messenger of the gods and the deity of teleportation. "I sense your urgency, champions of Aetherion. I can transport you to Mount Olympus."
With a wave of his hand, the air shimmered around them, and in an instant, they found themselves standing before the majestic gates of Mount Olympus. The towering gates opened, revealing a breathtaking realm where the very air shimmered with divine energy.
Upon entering, the Godsworn were met by the gods themselves, their radiant forms illuminating the hall. Zeus, with his commanding presence and piercing gaze, stepped forward. "Brave champions of Aetherion, you have faced trials and emerged victorious. But your journey has only just begun."
The other gods followed suit—Poseidon, strong and commanding; Apollo, radiant and wise; Demeter, nurturing and powerful; and Aphrodite, enchanting and graceful. Each one regarded the Godsworn with respect, recognizing the courage that brought them to Olympus.
