glory of heracles: gift from the gods

Mount olympus

Mount olympus is the place where the olympians call home, it stands between two greek cities thessaly and macedonia. Recently, Zeus grew curious on what the mortals are doing ranging from two atlanteans traveling to Greece while a slave is going back to his homeland after saving egypt. What sparked Zeus interest is that the slave enters the taphus and causing it to go inactive and defeated a rogue soldier empowered by fire ether.

"The fire taphus has been put out of commission?" Said Zeus, Hermes nods "yes, it was done by a slave named Timaeus who happens to save egypt from a calamity before it happened" he explained. Zeus sat on his throne pondering what to do, but then he came to a conclusion "if the slave wants to be a hero, then I'll let him have companions" he said. "What about heracles? He is a hero" said hermes "that may be, but even he can't do this alone. Perhaps I can make a hero and let those who lived in towns where the taphoi are located to join." Said Zeus as he got up from his throne. He walk towards a pool of water where it's used for scrying, he checks on each locations ranging from Atlantis, Egypt, byblos, the ruins of what used to be Corinth, mount Caucasus where prometheus is bound by a rock, and the western kingdom of trantia. Something caught his interest as he looks at Olympia: it was two siblings, brother and sister, are preparing for the annual olympics "I can send the hero to Olympia for them to train" he said to himself. Hermes walks towards Zeus out of curiosity of what he's seeing, Zeus turned around and saw Hermes "Hermes, please bring me hephaestus, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and Demeter" he said "right sir!" Said Hermes as talaria, his winged sandals, fluttered and flew out of the palace.

Zeus sits on his throne patiently waiting for Hermes to bring the other gods until he sees them walking into the palace "you took your time hermes" he said "can you explain why you brought us here dear brother? I was busy tending to my flowers" said Demeter as she sits on her throne. "The main reason why I brought you all here is to create a hero that will aid others in to destroying the taphoi" replied Zeus "destroy the taphoi!? Look father, these people can be heroes but they're mortals! If they did destroy the taphus core of any taphus, then the whole place explodes thus costing their lives!" Said hephaestus as he's concerned. "That may be true, but what other choice do we have? It's either destroying them or causing them to become inactive thus delaying the inevitable, after all, the taphoi can resurrect that horrid weapon of the titans" Explained Zeus "if we allow the taphoi to pump ether, then the areas will turn from beautiful to ugly due to the ether getting sucked dry" said Aphrodite as she is worried. Hephaestus pulls out a mannequin made of polished silver "if we were to make a hero, then use this as a base. I made this mannequin and used it to model for armor and figurines" he said as he set the mannequin on the floor at the center of the room. The four gods opened their mouths and colored ether comes out of their mouths and the mannequin made of silver absorbs the ether.

"May he use lightning" said Zeus as green ether come out of his mouth (air ether).

"May he use water and ice" said Poseidon as light blue ether come out his mouth (water ether).

"May he use earth" said Demeter as yellow ether come out of her mouth (earth ether).

"May he use fire" said hephaestus as red ether come out of his mouth (fire ether).

Suddenly, the mannequin twitched and glowed as it absorbs the ether and it glowed white thus the elemental ether combined into white ether. The silver that made up the mannequin turned into flesh and as it spreads up to the head, it forms a face as well as brown hair on its head. After that, the mannequin is now a human man "rise, good hero" commanded Zeus and the newly created man shakily stands up and opens his eyes. The creation of the gods looks around dazed and his vision was blurry, he tried to walk towards the huge figure but fell on his hands and knees "easy there mortal, you are newly created therefore your muscles are weak" said aphrodite. "Mortal, you are a hero that is destined to destroy the taphoi but you cannot do this alone, so seek out companions who can help you" said Zeus as he raised his hand, the creation looks at Zeus in curiosity before disappearing from mount Olympus.
