Prologue

The sound of a woman's laughter suddenly echoed across the realms, prompting several unsuspecting Gods and Goddesses to unconsciously look for its source around them.

It was almost eerie, with how loud and uncontrolled it sounded. But most of them ignored it, confident that it was only nothing.

Most, but not all.

High up in the Mountain of Olympus, the Greek Gods felt a shiver run down their spines. They knew that that laughter would soon be followed by disaster.

In the Arena, two powerful warriors almost stopped on their tracks as the sound vibrated within their surroundings.

"Oh no." Hercules said under his breath as he and Ares clashed swords with one another while they train in combat. The God of War has the same face of concern as well.

They turned to Hephaestus, who only wanted them to test the strength of his newly-crafted weapons, and the blacksmith only shrugged in return.

Up above the clouds, three of the Gods exchanged worried looks. Their time of relaxation seems to have been cut short.

"She sounds more excited than usual." Apollo noted, looking at Dionysus and Aphrodite as he drank his wine. The two agreed, knowing the laughter too well.

In the depths of Tartarus, a certain temperamental God tried his best to stop himself from bursting into flames.

"If she comes down here again, I will strangle her." Hades growled lowly, prompting Persephone to pat his head as an attempt to calm him down.

In one of the highest towers in Olympus, the laughter alerted the wild battle instincts of two Goddesses.

"We will surely need more soldiers to stop her if she does something drastic again." Athena clenched both of her fists in annoyance, making Artemis sympathize with the Goddess of Wisdom.

Somewhere deep beneath the chasms of the sea, a tremor could be felt across the ocean floor.

"I hope I don't need to get involved with whatever she's planning to do." Poseidon huffed loudly, earning a small chuckle from his son, Theseus.

And when the laughter has finally reached the ears of their King, they knew that he would be on high alert until something happens.

"She is planning something again." Zeus clenched his jaw and sat back on his throne in irritation.

"We need to learn how to restrain her." Hera suggested as she looked outside of the window, watching the humans on Earth as they pray in her temples.

"Even her own mother, Nyx, couldn't do anything about her behavior. She's simply too wild and unrestrained. If I kill her daughter, there would be war among us." Zeus replied, crossing his his arms against his chest.

"Should we seek help with the other Gods?" Hera looked at him and he thought for a moment before answering his wife.

Seeking help from Gods of other realms is not uncommon, but it will certainly cause a slight disturbance in the natural balance of their world.

"The others also have trouble makers of their own; Loki, Anansi, Elegua, Kokopelli, Laverna, Lugh, Veles, Wisakedjak, Set, Nezha, Sun Wukong, Susanoo-no-Mikoto and many other trickster Gods have been constantly causing headache ever since their creation." Zeus shook his head lightly as he spoke.

He knows that resulting to such drastic measures should be reserved for extreme events only.

Hera sat on the smaller throne beside him, still wondering how they can stop the impending trouble.

"Let's just hope that it's not too big this time." Zeus said, and she can't help but agree silently.

As silence returned to the realms, there was still no one who could guess the reason for that laughter.

Somewhere in Asgard, two of the most annoying Gods seem to be having a good time together.

"This is the reason why I like the way you think." Eris slammed the glass table with one hand while the other one held her belly.

She was ecstatic and her unpredictable mood, that was deemed to be much worse than Hades', seem to be in full swing.

Loki looked at her with amusement, noticing the way she acts and talks like a human instead of a powerful God.

"Good. There's 10 of us now." Loki grinned, earning Eris' curiosity.

"Oh? Who are we having fun with?" She asks excitedly.

"Apep, Tiamat, Shiva, Ishtar, Daji, Sun Wukong, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, Ahriman, you and, of course, me." Loki answered immediately.

"Ooh! You already got some notorious people! Do you want me to recruit some more?" She bounced her eyebrows up and down like a child planning some prank.

"Please." Loki slightly bowed his head at her and she gave him a thumbs up.
