It was time for the decennial meeting of all the gods. All the gods from all the different places of time and earth. The theory of meeting was that is they knew each other better there would be less fighting. The room had been enchanted so as to let them all exist in one place comfortably. As per usual it wasn't going well. Let me describe it for you dear reader.
Hephaestus, Zeus, Odin, Thor and Set were arguing in the middle of the room. Thor was convinced that he was as good as Zeus and Hephaestus combined because he had a hammer and could summon lightning. They of course disagreed.
"Can you do fire though? NO! I thought not!" Hephaestus yelled.
"Are you the king of the gods! NO! I am the king of the gods!" Zeus
"Uh, no you aren't! I, Odin am the king of the gods!"
"Oh, yeah Hephaestus! I bet my fire is waaaaay stronger than yours!" Set boomed.
Their arguing skills astound me.
On the other side of the room Athena, Thoth, Isis, Anansi, Tir, Metis and Minerva were all playing trivia against each other. It wasn't going well either. Athena and Minerva were cheating together, Metis was still in Zeus' head but was shouting the answers from across the room. Thoth, Tir and Isis were playing nicely but losing.
In a flash Anansi the spider leapt up onto the table and Athena and Minerva, who before then had kept their cool, leapt up into the air with a howl of terror and a few carefully chosen swear words. Deimos and Phobos chuckled. Isis slapped Anansi off the table and told him to play nicely.
Ares and Anat were having fun. Both being a god or goddess of war they got along surprisingly well. You might even say they were flirting.
"Who shall we make fight, Ares?" Anat asked with a punch on the arm.
" Ladies first of course, you choose. "Ares sighed. He seemed infatuated.
She whispered something in his ear which made him grin and blush. Together they strode over and stood next to the trivia players. Anger and resentment were soon radiating off them and Anansi slapped Isis back. Thoth got mad and whacked him across the room. Zeus was getting a headache from all the pounding in his head. Tir was turning red in the face.
The two war gods walked off to cause more trouble.
In one corner of the room Aphrodite was fuming. I'm not one to judge but I think it was probably because of Ares and Anat. If you didn't know, Aphrodite is married to Hephaestus but is constantly having affairs with Ares because he's good-looking. Anyways, as I said earlier she was mad. Walking up to Ares she gently brushed him on the arm and in a moment all he could pay attention to was her. They kissed. (Avert your eyes if you want)
Now, as you can assume Anat wasn't happy about this. She tackled Aphrodite and soon they were wrestling on the ground. Most of the other gods gathered around in a big circle and watched them, cheering them on. Now Anat has some pretty cool fighting skills. But Aphrodite's charm was still on and soon Anat kissed her. The two of them walked off in the middle of the fight, holding hands. The rest of the gods except Ares and Hephaestus were non-plussed.
In yet another part of the hall Hera, Tawaret, Damara, Frigg, and Demeter were talking. Well sort of talking, sort of fighting. They were arguing over who was the TRUE goddess of childbirth. Hera thought she was since she was queen of the Greek gods. Frigg for similar reasons. Damara and Tawaret were bickering incessantly and Demeter was so mad plants were growing out of her hair.
On the east side some of the more random gods were chatting. Saehrimnir the Norse pig of Eternal Bacon was trying to convince lazolteotl the Aztec goddess of eating dirt, that bacon was better than dirt but she wasn't buying it. Matshishkapeu the Innu spirit of farts wasn't really doing much.
Hermes and Loki were getting along splendidly! They had egged Ares and Thor enough that the two were now in a fight. They were taking turns hitting each other over the head with hammers. That's so they were doing. Ares lifted his hammer with two hands above his head, jumped, and whacked Thor with it. Then he just stood their while Thor whacked him. For gods of fighting their technique was pretty bad.I
Then they made Set and Hephaestus fight. The were shooting each other with balls of fire. Set missed one and singed Aphrodite's hair. Not a good thing. She leaped up and her new found girlfriend jumped with her. Aphrodite began to whack Set with her high heels and believe me that doesn't tickle. Anat was sort of beating up Hepheastus. Set, who as you might know is very defensive in matters of hair joined in.Seeing their wives and lovers fighting, Ares and Thor paused their fight to give their partners a hand.
Odin, Zeus and Horus always looking for a chance to prove their strength joined in punching wildly. Dionysus and Bacchus cheered everyone on and handed out drinks. The goddesses who were previously arguing over who was the fertility goddess tried to stop the fight but soon got tangled among it.
The more random gods who were bored stood around the main fight and punched anyone who came out of the circle. The wise gods seemed to forget their occupation and joined in quite nicely. Hermes and Loki joined Dionysus and Bacchus at the bar and threw a punch now and then. Soon almost all of the gods were fighting.
Far off in the furthest corner, Hestia, Buddha, Jesus, Pax, Imohetep, and Eirene say in a corner meditating, laughing and making beaded bracelets, ignoring the fight.
And that, dear reader is the story of a fight between gods and one out the strangest parties you have ever seen.
