Over and Over

Aria sighed at Spencer, unhappy with her interruption. "Darius, his name is Darius".

She waited for a few seconds, took a deep breath and continued her story. "Long ago, before we were born there was a curse. A curse made by the gods who ruled over humans. Some said there were wicked, others said there were kind, but no one knew their true nature.

Humans served them, worshiped them, and fulfilled their wishes. The gods loved the humans in their own way but humans wanted more.

They hid behind the shadows, whispering and conniving among themselves on how they could be stronger than the gods. This was done in secret by the wise but fools said it openly, not scared of what the gods might do to them.

But they were wrong.

The fools were tortured and then killed for defying the gods. While the gods were having their fun with the fools, a man decided to do something about the gods".

"Let me guess, it's this Darius guy?" Sawyer asked disinterested.

Aria simply nodded at him, and continued her story.

"He set out, searching for a way and finally he found a map. A map to the end of the gods. The gods being angry laid a curse on the man".

"What curse?" Sawyer asked.

"Stop interrupting Sawyer". Aria yelled at Sawyer, which just made everyone laugh. They knew how easy it was to piss of Aria.

Aria ignored them. She was determined to finish her story.

What began with only a story, turned into an adventure.
