It will be a beautiful day once the clouds disperse. And Zeus is that cloud.
"Ahhh~~ flying feels great. I should really get a vacation soon." i thought to myself. You see, Every 100 years Kelly makes me go on a 2 year vacation. She said its so that i can find someone special... I don't even know what she means. I mean, who would marry a '9,000,001,192,364 year old' coot like me?... Hey don't judge me.
Yes i am over 9 trillion years old so what. God put me here as punishment. Well. At least its better than another angel i know. But Kcaz... He really looks forward to these vacations. I usually just try and find a spot where there's not much people, But Kcaz immediately rushes to the nearest brothel or something. He usually never tells me where hes going but you can tell from the smell of perfume. Plus me and Kcaz retains the same memory so, it's practically useless to hide it.
Anyway back to the mission.
I now drew nearer to a humongous mountain with a nimbostratus cloud sitting at the very top. the surrounding of Mt. Olympus was barren and dry, Cracks from the dry soil, can be visible from the sky. skeletal remains of both human and animals are being ingested by Draugar's and Jotnar's, and may more monsters that i have yet to encounter in this world.
I change my flight pattern upwards into the nimbostratus.
as i fly through the cloud i see a towering golden gate with the insignia of a lightning bolt. I suppose Zeus really likes his little details here and there.
I blast the gate of its hinges causing a loud bang that echoed throughout Olympus. I need my presence heard, They must know the consequences of killing the entire human race. I took a step forward inside the gate, i was reluctant on stepping into the cloud. I don't want to embarrass myself by falling through, but i needn't worry. The cloud was solid. But it was unstable. Infact, the whole place is unstable.
The gate was constructed by the elder cyclops, so it should be sturdy, but it blew off so easily. "Who are you?!" a young man came flying out of nowhere holding a staff, demanding to know on who would be foolish enough to cause a ruckus in the Zeus's man cave-- i mean kingdom.
Hermes stopped midair, He must be sensing danger. I think i forgot to conceal my aura. by Zeus's standards his aura should only cover his surrounding body. That goes the same for the Titans, but their aura is much clearer and weaker. But mine on the other hand, Hermes should be seeing a humanoid figure standing behind me holding a sword.
"Excuse me but who are you?" The bastard said cheerfully. Ok maybe he can't see my aura but never mind that now. "I am a trespasser wishing to meet your master, in hopes that i might enlighten him on the dangers that come with forcing a wormhole to appear connecting to different universes." i bowed. I can tell that Hermes was thinking about it. But while he was trying to digest what i was saying i took this chance to look into his history.
He is quite experienced. Hes 8,234 years old. hmmm he stole and ate a cow at the age of 1 day, he is Zeus's personal thief and partner in crime, namely hiding his mistresses, Yada yada yada. I already know his history, i only want to know his age. But the question is, Why does he look so young? In terms of years he should be in adult for by now.
{Mike. Give me the details regarding the Norse Gods.}
[understood]
"So sir traveller. did you also come from the wormhole?" Hermes said while hanging upside down midair. I think he was trying to do a scary smile but it looked more like a smile when you watched your school bully embarrassing themselves at school. I guess he thinks he can intimidate me, Well i would really like to show him what true intimidation looks like, but i wont bully a young God for such a small matter.
I didn't answer his question, But Hermes took it as a yes. "Well then. Follow me sir traveller." Hermes led the way to the heart of Mount Olympus. The Olympus complex. This was Zeus'palace, in front of which was a large courtyard surrounded by covered passages. This courtyard was of sufficient size to enable all the gods and gods of the Greek pantheon, many thousands in number, to gather together when Zeus called a full assembly of the gods.
Surprisingly it was the only place on Olympus that was sparkling clean. Although the giant blue glowing portal was in the center of it all,it was beautiful nonetheless. Hermes stopped by a giant archway between two pillars lined with gold, there was nothing between the archway, but i already know what will happen next. I've seen it a million times before. Hermes made a tiny cut on his finger using a knife he always carries around his belt, A small golden liquid was sprouting and forming a small drip on his finger.
Hermes touched the pillar on the left side, which immediately disappeared in a split second, A structure was slowly appearing, attaching itself on the two pillars and the surrounding clouds formed a brilliant white staircase leading up on the chamber where the council of the Gods would settle on their businesses and problems.
No matter how many times I've seen it still impresses me. The marvellous creation and craftsmanship of the elder Cyclops. They made sure, only an Olympian God permitted by the council of twelve may enter the chambers by dripping Ichor that only the Gods have.
"Wait here, I must announce your presence to the court." Hermes said as he sped up the stairs leaving me alone, to wait for his invitation. As i stood there waiting, because Hermes was taking quite a long time, i noticed that the Hearth, which was the central fireplace on the complex, was dry, with no fire. It struck me as odd.
"Wheres Hestia?"
