The gods of Olympus had reached peace. They had a democracy and all was well. But there is more to history than you'd expect.

Have you ever notice that cultures all have their side of the story?

Like the great flood. The Christians say it was Noah. The Greeks say it was Deucalion. So in every culture they have a different version. But this is when Exodus, the King of Olympus meets Ra, King of Sun.

Let's us begin.

The Egyptians believe that the Universe was created by the primordial waters of Nun. Each lake by a temple was sacred to Nun. She formed the Nile. Nun's body was the colour of the sea with waves rippling all over his body. Her opposite was Ma'at. Ma'at is the goddess of order and harmony.

There was Kuk, god of darkness. He had a frog for a head. He also represented obscurity and the Unknown.

Amun was the god of the Sun. He was the first god of the winds. This led to his rivalry with Ra. Amun held justice for the poor.

As time passed he became Amun- Ra, god of Life. Amun became well known in Greece and had his own oracle. Some people even saw Amun as Zeus.

Huh was the sky god. He represented endlessness. He also had a frog for a head.

Khepri was the god of sunrise. Egyptians watched the scarab beetle and made it Khepri's symbol. Every night, Khepri would push the Sun down into the Underworld. His name means to emerge.

Atum was the god of the setting sun. He was the cult (symbol) of Heliopolis. His name is derived to Tem which means to finish.

So this is when Greece met Egypt. See when Kronos was defeated and Exodus roamed the Earth, the gods of Olympus hot on his tail, he stopped at a lake. It looked like a normal lake but Exodus noticed something different about this lake.

He looked at the water and noticed there was no nymph. He looked at the trees and saw no dryads either. It was...well unusual for that time.

Then the water rippled and the water began to move forming a body. Exodus wasn't surprised. This was familiar to him. A goddess formed.

Her body was water but not transparent. Her cult and armour were dark water so they were darker than her body. Her hair was a milky orange much like when the Sun hits the water. Her face was beautiful in a regal way. Her features blended when she moved. She approached him swiftly like a waterfall or lazy river.

'Who are you?' Her voice swift like a lazy river making him feel tired.

'Who are you?' Exodus knew all the goddesses in the world. He either hid in their domains or befriended them but he never met her.

'I am Nun, creator of the Universe, goddess of waters. You meet me at my home. I am starting my world for my people, the Egyptians. I have not made you so you must be Greek. But you are not like the others. Not Zeus or Hades. You radiated pure water. Who are you?"

"I am neither Greek nor Egyptian. I am a rebel. The name is Exodus, Titan of life and Elements. " Just to prove it, he lifted his hand and the water mimicked his moves.

"I created this world." She sounded annoyed like this was a daily event. "You control my water. This is forbidden."

On the word forbidden, the river exploded and sent Exodus flying. In mid-air, he twisted and propelled the water back into the lake. The lady dissolved as the water churned. She reformed in the middle of the lake.

"Brothers aid me!" Nun's voice spread across the land.

Few seconds later a blazing light hit Exodus. The light faded just a little for him to make out what had happened.
