"Lord and Ladies! I bring stories of the gods! Sit while I tell you of my telling tales!" Adi made swift movments around the stage and looked up at the light, it was shining white light down on him. He smiled and snapped his fingers and blue light came streaming down. "That's better. Now, I think the gods wouldn't mind a little tribute, so, everyone, lets go and pray. Let see, who should we pray to today? We prayed to Aphrodite on Wensday, and Apollo yesterday, any suggestions?" Adi looked out into the large crowd. "You! Red Shirt with that unholy star on it, who should we pray to today?" The man rose and looked around.

"Why don't we pray to Hades!" He yelled. A few people gasped and other groaned. Adi just smiled.

"Your new I see. You don't know the rules. You can't pray to the big six. Only I can pray to the big six. Now, who do you want to pray to." The man was silent for a minute. "You don't even know another greek god? You should be sacrifced. But, sence you can't seem to do anything right, let us pray to hades. Does eveyone remember how we pray to Hades?" Lots of assuring sounds came from the crowd. "Good. Now, lets pray!"

"To Hades! The might have fallen! Today we pray to say how amazing you are! How amazingly stupid! Come on folks, you always have complaints for Zeus! Give me one for the old man!" People started to shout out things they hated abut the god and Adi laughed.

"Yes! Ha! Okay! Correct! You've seen that to? Oh please!" Adi laughing as everyone shouted the miss comings of his own father. It went silent though for a second as one soul said the one thing noe one else would.

"Yeah! He stole Persephony from Zeus! He should die for that!" Adi quickly froze and so did everyone in the room. The people aorund the person who spoked the unspeakable words fled to the side and let them be seen by Adi.

It was a young girl.

"And Persephony obviouly was the greatest, she had children and never even slept with a guy! Her cousin got her pregnant with rice! And She protected the child from Hades so he wouldn't eat him!" Adi was inraged. He was floatig above the ground, eyes starting to have glints of yellow in them. He slowly made his way down the ailes of seats and people to the girl.

"Girl, you know so much. But, you don't know one simple fact. If the child was of god's blood, what were they the god of?" Adi asked, smirking, as no one had ever answered his question, not even him himself.

"He was the wandering god. Almost like Hermes, but less to help, and more to warn. His name was Adi, child of hades, and he warned people when they were in the path of Hades. When he became a god he did something awful and was disgarden from Olympus. He now goes, warning people and keeping them from the greek gods. And for that, he is forgotten by all. But I won't forget, because I know that he's real. if he wasn't, why would anyone be here right now?" She asked. People started to murrmur. Adi quickly tried to fix it.

"No! She's lying, I would never keep you from anything! What would I gane?" Adi shouted, turning back to the girl. "She's the one who trying to get you to leave! Did I not let you come in and say what you wanted, no, needed to sya about your gods! I helped!" Adi had closed his eyes and the next moment he opened them and everyone was gone but the girl. Adi glared at her as she shifted up in a tall man and then into the charming Anteros. "What the fuck dude!"

"You brought this on yourself. I was only sent down to stop you. and I'm right. Thats what you did. You turnned people against their own gods! Your parents are both in the underworld. Go see them. Or go up and face Hera and Demeter. Your choice." Adi crossed his arms.

"What if I just stay up here and sick the furries on you?" Adi smiled, walking through the rows, picking up trash. 

"Dude, just go see your dad. He forgives you!" Anteros shouted.

"An, I never did anything! He shouldn't have to forgive me because I did nothing. I left. I was having flashes of death and poverty! People were speding time praying instead of spending time getting food! Zeus can send wind, rain, and sun, but he can't send crops, or cows and sheep. These people need to believe in themselves, not some gods who now can't do anything! The gods could make miricals back when humans still believed in things like Hydra and Psyclopsece. But now they believe in things like Supeman and German Scientists. We were always taught to help people, well, I'm helping. Come back when they all get the idea." Adi said, grabbing a duffle bag and leaving. Anteros sat for a second.

"And that's his story. I'm telling ya, Hades had a kid, and that kid freed the world from god complex's!" I said, standing in front of my class.

"Dillan, sit down. You were suppose to write a paper on your religion!" Shouted Ms. Mallamor.

"But I'm an atheiest!" Yeah, I am. Oh, hope you liked me story. Well, Adi's. There are a few more to come for you. But, I'll wait to tell you those till after I deal with Ms. Mallamor.
