Gods (Part 1)

Gene, the God of Memory, walked the halls of the Palace of Olympus. It was true that the Ancient Gods existed, but they stayed hidden from the eyes of mortals. Their minds would melt like butter if they knew that the mythology was real. The front doors to the palace burst open, and one pissed off raven haired God was storming through them. His black and white robes stuck to his body like the glue to a sheet of paper, torn up and tattered by dirt.

"Zane!" Gene smiled. "Where have you been!?"

"Well, at least someone recognized my disappearance." Zane huffed. "Didn't expect it to be you of all of us. I expected Queen Aphmau to notice, or my brothers for that matter."

"Queen Aphmau has been busy setting up for the Summer Solstice, I'll have you know." He snapped. "Just be thankful I even noticed, or even cared."

Zane glared at him for a long moment, before sighing and walking off to his room. Gene stared after him, his eyes trailing down to his rear. Damn those robes were so tight on him.... he could feel a boner coming from it.

For the mercy of Lupa, he thought, not right now!

Aphmau, Queen of the Gods, as well as the Goddess of Healing, stood behind Gene. Sure, she was the shortest of the Gods, but she could pack a nasty punch. Her purple dress trailed after her, her flower crown resting in her hair gently. She tapped Gene on the shoulder, and he looked down at her.

"Yes, you Majesty?" Gene asked with a smile.

"Go after Zane." She instructed. "The Giants...."

Gene didn't need anymore explanation. If the Faints were rising from Tartarus... no. That couldn't..... had it really been a thousand years already?

He moved as fast as he could down the large arched hallways, careful not to disturb the other Gods. He finally made it to two large silver doors emblazoned with an Occult symbol, before pushing them open.

"What in the name of Gaea-!?"

Zane had just taken off his torn top, exposing his torso. There were several slashes across his back, probably from a whip, and that bruised dark spot on his belly..... was that a hickey?

"Zane, what Giant took you, and why?" Gene demanded, walking in and slamming the doors shut.

Zane stared at Gene in shock, before replying. "No Giant took me. It was the Earth herself who fooled me into that trap. The Giant who abused me of my worth was Alcyoneus, the Giant of the Underworld."

"Esa estúpida escoria!" He growled, speaking Spanish.

"Gene, calm down." He placed a hand on the side of his face. "You're going to blow."

Gene pressed his own hand to Zane's hand, staring into that ice blue eye. "Lamento no haber estado allí. Debería haber sido un mejor cónyuge para ti. Tus padres se avergonzarían de saber que soy tu destino."

"Gene..... I will always love you." Zane sighed. "Whether the Fates decide that or not."

Who would have known that Gene, the God of Memory, and Zane, the God of Death, would find love.... but dark forces are stirring in the shadows.... the Earth is splitting apart, as the Giants rise to crush the Gods..... love comes with sacrifice.....
