The Beginning

Many years ago the gods created the earth, the seas, the land and giving life to humans and creatures. The gods and goddesses would watch the humans and creatures interact among other, like they were watching a TV show. After some years passed the gods became fascinated by their creations, they wanted to be known by there creations. So over time the gods would visit the humans from heavens, bring them gifts, granting them their hearts desires. The gods grew to find that the humans was the most unique thing they every created.

The gods grew to love their creations for now the humans prayed and praised the gods, for the gods grew powerful with every prey and every wish made by the humans. The humans would pray night and day just so their crops and kettle could grow and live. The gods and goddesses grew founded of the humans of the years, sometimes the gods would decent from the heavens to spend the day with the humans. The humans would prepare food, drinks and entertainment just for the gods. The gods then would bestow their blessing upon the humans so their crops would grow, rivers would be filled and rain would par. So long the humans prayed to the gods, the gods would protect them, educated them and live in peace with the gods. Zeus who was the gods of all gods, goddesses and all living things.

Zeus being the god the sky, would looked down from above the heavens over all his subjects and sheltering them at night. His wife Athen the goddess of wisdom, war, and useful art. Thought the humans the wisdom of self rightness, self control and a stronger sense of justice. She was loved by all her subjects for her beautiful arts. She loved spending time with them, she called them her children. Sadly Athen can't bear none herself, in which Zeus never judged her for. All the other gods and goddess admired her for that, for she would have made a great passionate mother. As for the goddess Hestia, she gave birth to a beautiful daughter name Layla. Which was known to be the daughter of goddess Hestia and the god of the underworld Hades. Hestia was one of the most loved goddesses, she was the goddess of health and beauty. She was even admired by the gods and goddess for her beauty, Hestia’s beauty kept her young and she didn't age a day.

For years the gods and the subjects lived in peace, not know their peace would soon come to an end.

After the gods left the heavens and went down to earth for visits, Ares god of war and Thanatos the god of death would stay behind. For they grew sick of visiting the humans and felt it was a waste of time. For both gods were of destruction and they knew they couldn't keep on hiding the true feelings no more. For they loved killing and spreading fear everywhere they went. For their hatred for Zeus were even greater.

Hatred Grew

For years they had looked up to him yet he became weak and had a soft spot for the humans. They hatred grew even more when he command them to live along side the humans, for which they despised the idea. So they waited for Zeus to drop his guard so that they could have revenge for making them obey his every command. Ares wasn't that younger from Zeus and he knew if Zeus had to die he would rule over all gods and humans. Unless Zeus had a child which he knew that would never happen since Athen can't bear any children. Ares and Thanatos rejoiced in Zeus's downfall, for years they planned and for years they waited.

Many years passed, Ares and Thanatos became impatient. They just couldn't wait any more, they knew the consequences if the plan had to fail. They knew there was no room for failure nor backing out, not after all the work and years they had put in. One day the sky suddenly lit up with the grayest clouds no human has ever seen. The humans was all scared for this was something total new to them. The gods advised the humans to stay clam and wait for the gods return. All the gods unscented back up to the heavens taking all they belongs with them. Yet Athen the goddess of wisdom knew something was wrong. For why would Nyx the goddess of night and Poseidon god of the sea had to somman all the gods to heavens at once.

That night all the gods was seated in heavens not knowing the reason for their summoning. While Thanatos and Ares wasn't allowed in the colluvium because they were gods of destruction and they wouldn't understand reasoning. Knowing those two, Athen knew that a command wouldn't keep those two away. They probably had something plan if something like this happened. The doors was guarded well and there was no way in, yet Ares is the god of war after all. He knew the place inside and out after all, he spend most time in heaven. The two sneaked into the colluvium through a tunnel, meanwhile the god and goddess revealed the reason for the summoning. Nyx goddess of the night and Poseidon god of the sea were from a low class and didn't interact with the humans. That night they called Zeus to the stand in front of all the gods and goddesses and accused him of cheating!😮. His wife stood up immediately, she denied the acquisition against her husband. Not even hearing or knowing the whole story, she won't believe her husband would do something like that. Across the colluvium all the gods and goddess sat in shock, not knowing what to say nor do. Zeus looked down at his feet, with a face of a man that wasn't innocent and was hiding something too. It seems the silence alone spoke for itself, Zeus just stood there.

Judgement

Moments went by and the rain par down even harder it seem the rain would never ease up, the rivers became seas, the crops was all washed away. The homes were still standing but the humans didn't know for how long it would still holed up. They though the gods was punishing them, yet that wasn't the case. Hestia goddess of health stood up and walked towards Nyx, the two grew up as sisters, yet they grew apart when Hestia gave birth to Layla. Nyx always dreamt of having a daughter yet she gave birth to two sons. Thanatos the god of death being the oldest and Hypnos the god of sleep being the youngest. Hestia asked Nyx why she would accuse a god that rules above all the others, what would she gain by accusing him. Hestia always had a soft spot for her siblings that meant her eldest brother Zeus and youngest Ares. Yet Ares never acknowledged his sister very much, for she doesn't share the same mother.

As Ares and Zeus she shares one with Nyx, on the other hand Zeus loved his sister. The two got along just well, Hestia couldn't understand how Nyx could accuse him of something like that. Zeus turned his head up and looked at his wife, knowing this wasn't the way he wanted her to find out. Zeus looked towards his sister and then he told Athen, them reason why they accused him. He asked if she would forgive him and that he just made a mistake. Among all the gods and goddesses whisper as they turned and looked away, as on the entre of Ares and Thanatos hearing the hole confession. Hera goddess of marriage, mothers and families, stood up and told Zeus that this was unforgivable and that he had to cut all ties. This was a human after all, gods and humans should had been in love. Athen looked at Zeus knowing all this she still chose to stay by his side and she will always support him.

Thanatos and Ares just stood there looking at everyone, he smiled for now was the time to set his plan in to motion. He finally find Zeus's weak spot, his love for his human lover. Still Athen wanted to know why Nyx and Poseidon was the ones to know about all this, well see Nyx is the goddess of the night. At night she would fly over the earth covering the sky with darkness, turning the day into night. Sometimes she would fly over the world and see Zeus with a young and beautiful human. Watching the day turn into night as the sunsets. As for Poseidon his the god of the sea and spends more time then anyone in the sea, watching all the sea creatures. Sometimes Poseidon would watch the human's play in the sea and washing their clothes. Sometimes Poseidon would spot Zeus and a beautiful young human together playing happily in the water. That's how they knew Zeus was cheating , they never told Athen about the baby they saw with her. They knew Athen can't fall pregnant, and that this would destroy her even more and she would hate the humans. Athen was a kind hearted goddess, yet she hides a dark and hatred side, one only few gods witness.
