In the beginning, there was darkness; the nothing.

 

From the darkness came Chaos... and from Chaos came the Gods.

 

Multiple deities sprung forth from different beliefs and the Gods themselves grew strong. They had followers, they were worshipped, they were happy.

 

Time passed, belief waned and the Gods retreated. Some Gods will be forever, and others will be forgotten.

 

Kronos was forgotten, but still powerful, as it was he who gave life to the first Gods. Bitter and angry, he wanted revenge on those who thought that they were still powerful. He wanted to show them that belief had waned in the world, and that they were truly nothing.

 

He invited those Gods to dine with him in the heavens. He used the nothing that was Chaos, and cast them out into the world.

 

"If you are truly believed in; If you are not forgotten and cast into the mists of time, you can return"

 

And so it begins...

"They say fear is an illusion. In the world where I lived fear was the surrounding.

Humans, they feared us. Fear was part of the religion. However,.."

 

A deep, gray gaze reflected the floating gesture of clouds in the sky.

 

"..humans grew to fear no one but themselves. In the current world humans play gods."

 

He averted eyes.

 

"And gods...play humans."

 

Thoth was standing before a street coffee-machine. The modern world was so different. It wasn't bad to move forward in whatever sense, alas the world forgot its origin. The god's slender and beautiful fingers reached for a button. He blended perfectly fine in the crowd of mortals. After all, that meant to 'survive'. You had to blend when nothing else could be done. As a holder of many secrets and magic spells, somehow he felt useless right now. What was wisdom, if you couldn't make the use of it? Well, he wasn't motivated; the belief was dead. Probably his own belief was dead as well.

 

As for now, he was a judge of the local court. Suited him best, kind of. Thoth knew he had to make a living, if wanted to survive in this cold world. The only usage of wisdom was actually 'how to make it through the daily life'.

 

::BEEP::

 

His eyes glanced over the small and electronic window on the machine, his coffee was 'prepared'. It was another morning, cloudy morning. The knowledge god reached for his plastic cup of coffee and wrapped his fingers against the hotness of the plastic material. He liked the bitterness of black coffee. Somehow could put at ease all his thoughts; and the thoughts of wisdom were always big and fearsome.

 

With nothing else but his daily duty, Thoth made his way to the court.

Just a stranger on the bus---

"Eh!! Why did you turn of the stereo, Doctor Beauford. " The nurse ranted as she stood behind the doctor who was still uprooted at the musical device.

 

"...I don't like the song." He pushed his glasses upwards as he left the room afterwards. He shouldn't have turned it off if he planned to go out in the first place. The nurse couldn't even fathom what was inside Doctor Beauford's mind.

 

 

Its been quite some time since he entered the realm of 'modernization.' Everything didn't turned out quite nice as he ventured and understand it on the long-run. He had to endure a couple of mishaps which was unusual for a God as powerful as him. It was even nerve-wrecking that there's a certain limit of using his powers. Hades, the God of the Underworld, was held powerless and trapped in the human realm, might be a striking news for those occult freaks. It did take quite some time for the old fashioned Hades to 'blend in' together with the humans.

 

 

 

 

--Dr. Altair come to the emergency office for awhile. He glanced at the device he was holding, cutting all his thoughts right away.

 

A place where he so called his 'lair.' The male was then ushered by the nurse to check a boy that had gone comatose. His huge hands trailed at the male's flesh as his iris sharpened. It was a power beyond belief, Hades had thought. Just the mere presence of this people strengthened him quite a bit.

 

He needed them, their rendezvous with 'death', to be precise.

 

 

 

 

[fameandfortune212]

Behind the steel bars of the local prison, a strange man sat on the edge of the bench, faced down at the dirty concrete floor, his silver long hair was braided together messily, covered most of his face, quite light skin and slim. He was shirtless and his pants were shredded piece of medium length purple cloth, he used to have lots of jewelries on him but was confiscated, and most of his body was covered with bruises and dried up wound.

 

The male was in custody for assaulting civilians near the forest when they found him sometimes ago, they caught him once but he got away and continued to assault people until he was caught again 3 days ago and people started to sue him, and today he'd appear at the local court. It took people a long while to finally catch him, the male seemingly to get stronger every fight, not weaker no matter how many wounds he carried. Nobody knew who he was, where he was from, where did he live, no words escaped his mouth ever since he was caught but the only thing they knew and got him to speak was his name - Seth.

 

So it was Seth, the god of chaos, was cast down to earth after being tricked to dine with another foreign god of chaos - Kronos. Once he was on earth, the fact he has lost his power was hard to accept, he started to assault people around him. being imprisoned was not ideal for him, he loved freedom and nature, so he broke free. But... after sometimes, he realized, it was the prison that gave him power, chaos and disorder, the mind of those who wanted to cause chaos in prison that made him felt most lively, that was why he decided to go back to prison.

 

The cell's gate opened, 5 to 10 officers slowly approached the male to escort him to the court, the last time he was here, it was a mess, so there was no reason to not be careful. He finally lifted his head up along with a devious grin that made the officers stepped back a few steps before he himself stood up and willingly followed them.

[Asakura-Sama]

“sigh…..”

 

A slender figure in a teal colored rolled up sleeved polo shirt, and a pant’s as a working uniform, well primary some buttons are undone on his rolled over sleeved polo, making his red T-shirt inside visible to some passerby, he leans over to his long mop, while both his arms are cross together resting onto the very top making the mop his very own stand, while he looks at the number of students coming and go, under his also teal colored hat, while it covers half of his face.

 

He also stands out into some annoying brats in the campus, because his not only tall but his hair was also long and dark, at first glance you’ll call it black colored hair, but if you look more closely, it was naturally colored in auburn brown, especially the unusual thing that was hanging on his pants side, some chains and a pink plushy looking bunny wrapped in bandages, it’s almost in the size of a male palm.

 

”Hey! Mister Jaaaanitor with a stuff bunny!”

“It’s not a bunny! It’s a dog!! Damn brats!” the long haired man said annoyingly while he adjust his standing position and hold the mop properly “What do you damn brats want??”

”ahem! Is it true that ghost in this school roam around frequently at night??? Is the 7 cursing ghost stories of this school also true?~”with a sparkling eyes, well it looks sparkling in his version anyway, the little guy asking the questions, was holding a recording device, while he tap his glasses awaiting for the other man’s answer, while the other two students with beside him was holding a pad and pen, and a camera.

 

From the looks of those three they must be from that crazy journalism club

“why would you even believe that kind of thing?”

”ho ho” with that a smirk and a another tap from the bridge of the lil’ dudes glasses was made

The janitor furrowed his eyebrows together --annoying…..--

”We are making another limited edition school newspaper, and with our special! ~what’s beyond to the other side of the paranormal life~ so what do you think?? It’s awesome right??”

“it’s lame”

”It’s awesome! Ghost and paranormal activities are to be investigate here in our very school!, the paranormal club is even aiding our research, for sure we will get good audiences in this ho ho”

“Whatever ghost are just low life beings, instead of ghosts why won’t you put a much better headlines in there, with much power and authority like gods?”

”what? No way gods are lame, they are not cool, ghost, demon’s and other paranormal activities are much more worth to produce as a front cover for”

“you little!.....” annoyed he just turned around and started to leave since he might spat out more uncanny words

”Hey! Where are you going you haven’t answered our questions yet”

“Make other freaks, who are idiotic enough to find interest in those kinds of things, answer your questions for you” with his back turn to them the kids started to complain

”Eh?? But you live in the back storage of the school so you must know what’s going on in here at night”

 

“it’s not a storage room! It’s a small cheap apartment near the school not at the back of the school damn brats!” with that he slammed the door of the janitor’s locker room area, and then he clicked his tongue.

He grabbed his phone from his pocket and unlocked it.

“I’m never gonna get used to this squanders” he check for some emails and such but no such thing is present, he clicked his tongue again and placed his phone in his pocket.

“ah… how annoying” but it’s not particularly wrong for them to ask that kind of questions, since this school ground used to be a burial site before, that’s why his working here, in fact he used to come here a lot back in the past.

“……” he adjusted his cap and started getting some other things he needed for work.

 

[AomineDaiki]

''Hypnos! Hypnos! Hah! Are you sleeping again? What? You cold? Here, i'll warm you up''

 

Big hands wraps the body gently. Gives warmth to the cold body like fire. Feeling secure in these hands, the hands of a beautiful man. Gently the hands are pulling back. He looks at him with a worried look on his face. He doesn't want that warmth to leave him. Slowly the man gets swallowed by the dark. Slowly...slowly, like water pullng him inside. 'Wait, no! Don't go!' His hand touched the darkness but the darkness became a mirror. It was the young man, no! It was him. The same face. His hand tried to break the glass. His hands were bleeding.

''Thanatos! Thanatos!Come back.....don't leave me alone''

 

The boy lied on the ground, curled himself and fall asleep.

 

-----------------------------------------------

 

''...sei! Sensei! Shion-sensei! Jeez sensei! You fall asleep again. And what's with that...'natos'...'thatos'? Doesn't matter, wake up! You need to finish the pages. Here, i bough you some coffee!''

 

''Ah...Tayu-chan, i fall asleep again huh? What? Coffee again? I don't like it...It's bitter,tastes awful. I only love sweet things.''*rubs his eyes and push away the cup with the coffee*

 

''Geh, you can't even stand the smell? If you don't like coffee then don't sleep at work! The printers are waiting for the new pages and you're gonna miss the deadline again!''

''I know that Tayu-chan~ I'll finish them now. You can go back to your office and i will send you the pages.''

 

''You better be fast!''

 

Once the young female turned her back Shion took a deep breath and looked out of the window as he tied his long, black hair up. Shion Maruhi, a well known mangaga. His stories are bassed on dark adventures about gods,goddesses and sinful loves. Of course he was doing his job well. A great artist with great plot stories. He seemed like he knew everything, like he lived every single picture that he draw. The truth is that he did! Shion Maruhi....as if a person with that name really existed. His real name is Hypnos, the god of sleep.

'When this is gonna end? Aren't we punished enough? Isn't it time to go back and meet our beloved ones? Our righteous Father sure is harsh. He took our fates and send us down, here, with the humans. He almost made us weak like them. Not much power for us to do our duty. My beloved Father what were you thinking? Not only i'm becoming one with the mortals, i've lost the only one and most important person to me. What a horrible fate. What a bitter poison we have to drink. This wold is cold, no, it's a beautiful lie! An illusion to hide it's decayed heart!'

 

He had to deal with it. He was send for a reason here. Once this ends he will be back to were he was, were he needs to be. An other day in this black world, cloudy and cold as it is.

 

Colour Legend:

Dark Slate Grey-Thanato's speech

White-Hypno's speech

Teal-Hypno's thoughts

[b.lueeyes]

"Asking why we have conflict in the world is like asking why we breathe. We breathe out of necessity. We breathe to support ourselves, to live; to stay alive. It is much the same with war, if you would believe it." Dark eyes spun around the room to the congregation of British senators, his hands flexing behind his back as he got ready to rattle off his speech. "War is profit, gentlemen. War is the essence of life itself; death and control. Balance and stability are wrought from it just as violence is, but that is where the balance comes in," lifting his arms, he smiled in a way that was almost sincere, turning to pace back towards his map, gesturing.

 

"Of all the industries in the world, what gets us the most profit? What brings the most revenue to the highest of nations in the world, such as America, Russia, China and of course, Great Britain? War. Whether it be conflict, insurgency, political destruction, terrorism, threats, civil war, drug war, war over money, war over corruption, war over sexism, war over racism, war over religion, corruption, deceit, unrest, for human rights, for stability, for the sheer need for citizens to fight back to be safe in their own countries." He gestured to contries with both hands as he spoke, rattling off the words as easily as he could think them.

 

"It's a battle of nature. People need violence in their lives, they need to tip the balance. There is conflict over interests, over nature, belief, rights, need; since the dawn of man, we have fought for our differences and it has brought us land, money, wealth, whatever we could imagine. And...it is no different today."

 

Dark hair fluttered around his cheeks as he faced the men again, his almost too intense eyes shining with a dark fire. The god of war spoke easily, his own name echoing from his lips. "ARES is an organisation known for the discreet promotion and solicitation of worldly conflicts, for the favour of those in higher power. Armed Reserve and Evaluative Solutions; that is what we are. We hope to be working with you well into the future gentlemen, and we thank you so very much for asking us here today. My name is Gabriel James, and I am looking forward to working with all of you to achieve your goals."

 

Ares was no stranger to the idea that he had been decieved. He knew he had been cast out into the world of men, dumped from heaven because of a simple trick by a god who had no right to be out of Tartarus, but still. He had dealt, and now...while his powers had waned, he was still as powerful as he needed to be, he supposed. Although the god wished he could be more so.

 

Warfare, while not as common as it was in ancient times, was far reaching and affecting of so many more people. The violence and destruction was felt all over the world, as was the fear. The deaths were as well. They counted them, these days. With a bad system, but nonetheless it helped to know that the humans were trying. Ares had never been one to blend in; he had never been one to lay low and push for people. To let peace reign...

 

...and so he played on human greed. Humans were pathetic, pitiful creatures but they were a violent race by nature. He exploited their greed and their need for conflict, and created war for the masses in exchange for money and profit from the major governments of the world. If one thought about it, it was a wonder that the highest-developed countries, those with supposedly 'stable' governments never went to war these days with each other.

 

Ares was as much the artist as he ever was. He just use a spear to paint any more, he used cunning and manipulation. And while it wasn't the same as being on the battlefield himself (which he couldn't risk, not with his bloodlust)...this would have to do.

[InkompleteWish]

(I am kinda stuck in autumm i guess. I like to start my posts with that season since it is easier.

 

Leaves fell down from the tree tops, littering the find sand way in the park full with leaves. It was a nice morning, though a bit cold since autumm was making it's way forward. Summer needed to leave, like the leaves from the large trees. That meant that his job wouldn't be as tireing as before. Sobek was the local gardener that took care of the park and it's flora and fauna. As the god of water and fertility, his park was visited pretty often due to the beautiful flowers and enjoying shades of the large trees. It was a paradise to some and Sobek was more than happy to receive a bit of power from the humans. Though they do not believe in him or his powers he was at least able to survive as a god. Mankind didn't believe in any god of fertility anymore, they believed in science and biologically theses. They 'knew' that no god was reason for the dying of plants or the inability to get children. Thus Sobek was forgotten.

 

His other, more prominent aspect was still flowing strong however. Though humans still didn't believe in gods, they often prayed for save return from sea or pray for the tsunami not to destroy their cities or take their loved ones. It was minor and not really workshipping but it did help Sobek to regain a bit of power. He didn't like to be powerless but he guessed it is to be accepted. He did not appear before humans for a long time. His form now wasn't any different than a normal humans after all. In acient times he would only appear before humans in his crocodile form, thus installing fear and respect in the mortals. Today though, if he would try it, he would be arrested probably, experimentend on or just caged into a random zoo as the main attraction. "It seemed like humans haven't changed. They still see everything that is not normal as either a bad thing or a good. Today though it is more bad than good..." he whispered to himself and watched some children bullying another. The smaller child that was bullied was seen as different, thus as weak or plain weird. Humans didn't take different things well. At the present time they would rather get rid of the different being and live their life forth.

 

Sobek didn't like any quarrels or fights in the park, his sanctuary. So he easily seperated the human offspring and glared at them. Like the kids they were the scrambled off to their moms. "You okay kid?" he turned around, looking down at the small child lying on the floor. "H-hai. Thank you mister!" it said and stood up, clearly admiration in his eyes. "Get going now. Tell your mom to treat the wounds and next time, try to fight back." the blacknette said and departed from the other as fast as possible. The wooden broom still in hand (he nearly forgot) he continued his job of sweeping the leaves off the path.

[SqueezeBabe]

He yawned, the mid-afternoon sun was shining through the window, the dust motes in the air shimmering. He groaned slightly, sitting up in bed, pushing away the limb that was draped across his chest. He yawned again, running a hand through his chestnut hair and looked about the room. There were bodies everywhere, and in the harsh light of day, they didn't seem as attractive as what they had before, but they had been wild. Dionysus smirked, seeing the sprawled limbs, the smudged makeup, the evidence of excess; the empty bottles of alcohol... humans had been quite inventive when it came to that, not just settling for wine anymore, there were other things that goaded them into abandoning reason and living for the moment.

 

He attempting to get out of bed, climbing over the naked forms, and made his way to the bathroom. The hot water of the shower felt good and he quickly cleaned the sweat, the grime, the evidence from his body. It wouldn't do to have a filthy rich businessman such as himself to exit from the penthouse suite smelling like a bordello. He stepped from the shower, drying himself, got changed into the simple casual style clothes that he kept hidden and snuck out of the room. He checked the time, adjusting the watch on his wrist, he'd have to go to work now, to make sure everything was ready for another days business.

 

Dionysus stood outside the front of a large building, looking up at it, feeling a momentary surge of pride in himself. He may have been cast out from the heavens by his grandfather, but this was an ingenious stroke of luck for him. In ancient times his followers drank to excess, the festivals orgies of pleasure, but few and far between, special occasions only... but here, here right now, he was worshipped every night by the thousands, no millions of pleasure seekers; and now there wasn't just alcohol to fuel the flames, there were mind altering substances; there were drugs. For every person that put something in their mouth that made their cares slip away, he felt his power grow; for every person who believed that they were on the fringe of society and tried to drown their sorrows, he grew stronger...

 

With that power, he closed his eyes and called to his brethren, the fellow gods that had been cast out with him. It didn't matter where they were in the world, they'd feel his call. "Come" he called out with his mind, "Come and join me" He'd unite them, bring them together, and then perhaps they'd find their way back into the heavens. Returning from the "dead" was something that he had experience with...

 

Smiling with elation, he took the keys out of his pocket, unlocking the door to the largest nightclub in the country.

[Saga]

KRONOS57: Oy... You in here yet?

Apep: Yeah. Took you long enough, Kronos.

KRONOS57: HA! Who's idea was it to use this thing anyway?

Apep: You blame me for your non-modern mind? I thought you were open-minded. ..Anyway, did you find Dionysus? That asshole surely gathered some powers.

KRONOS57: I would expect nothing less from one of my own flesh. It is a shame that your kin aren't as resourceful.

Apep: Ah, you don't really want to pull that string, Kronos. If they weren't a threat, I wouldn't cast them away. Anubis and Seth are really one of a kind, however I am more troubled about Thoth. If they get to him, he knows secrets equal to a whole civilization and even more. Gladly the idiot is a peace maker, and kindness is always stepped on. I doubt he'd join Dionysus. In fact, we should stop them from joining that party-maniac.

KRONOS57: And how would you propose to do that? The world is awash with pleasure seekers and warmongers; the two practically go hand in hand, and both my offspring are thriving. It was not something that I had anticipated happening. The powers of Chaos are not what they once were, there is not even enough belief in the world for a decent sized volcanic eruption!

Apep: You only show off with your offspring idiots, but when it comes to use some of your brain you really do get stuck, Kronos. One to wonder is it some children-complex or narcissism. ..Rest assured, I will compensate your lack of neurons. We will make them hate each other. And as far as I remember, you've got such a divine of hatred. The world is filled with negativeness and hatred, once the divine tips the ground of Earth, she will be in rage. A spell will be a piece of cake for her.

KRONOS57: One can't help me proud of their accomplishments, despite the rage it induces. I can't help but love my children, the first five of them were rather tasty after all, perhaps you should have tried eating yours, it might have been an improvement to our current situation. Ares is such an angry soul, filled with rage and bloodlust. It won't be hard to turn him against his brothers...

Apep: Excuse me for saving the best for a dessert. I bet Anubis and Seth will water my mouth in a delicious manner. However, I plan far more horrible death for Thoth; he's always have ran wild on my nerves. Seth is a chaos and violence, similar to Ares. As for Anubis, I think there might be some problem. And because he is the half-brother of Thoth, I am afraid they might unite for the sake of 'truth and judgement'. Probably I had to keep one of them locked here, my bad. However, things might change if we make them forget they are actually half-brothers. The rest will fall into place.

KRONOS57: So what do we do? Send one of the furies? We can't send Maenads; they were Dionysus' playthings, Is there anyone left who can we use?

Apep: That's why I told you to keep Hades. Tsk.

KRONOS57: PAH! The underworld holds no mystery for mortals any longer, so many religions to choose from, they forget the TRUE nature of things, there is ONLY Chaos, and it is WE who RULE!

Apep: ..Dionysus is really from your flesh. You party way too early. We can send the goddess Styx.

KRONOS57: You would send a woman? Perhaps I can send Athena to accompany her. She will stir Ares up into a frenzy...

Apep: Women are wicked and it's no secret, Kronos. We need the wrath of a woman to win the battle. Sure, I will send Wadjet, she is the goddess of protection. Nothing shall befall your pawns.

KRONOS57: My daughter Hera has always shown her wroth at Zeus' actions, so perhaps you are right in this regard. I will make arrangements, Hera will be torn with jealousy and cast Athena out, she will blame her brother Ares, anything chaotic drives her insane, she is ever the strategist, she cannot abide by victory based on luck alone.

Apep: See? We started to speak same language now. Good, good. That though should happen before they meet Dionysus.

KRONOS57: Dionysus will be the one to bring them together. He has been cast out before, has fallen further than the underworld itself, but still he returns. Whilst I cannot help be proud, he is the most dangerous one of them all.. even equal to Thoth, who may have the knowledge of worlds, but does he have the experience to use it?

Apep: Hmm, he has experience. After all he was in between terrifying battles, between wrath and hatred. Still managed to make peace. One of the reasons why Ra kept Thoth so close. However, I don't remember seeing Thoth angry. Sometimes I think he is soulless. How about the rest of the gods?

KRONOS57: Ares is nothing but battle-hungry and insane. Hades and Hypnos are weak, airy, one is the god of sleep, the other of sleep that's just more permanent. Death is not worshiped the way it once was. Athena will make short work of them.

Apep: Oh, curses!!

KRONOS57: What?

Apep: I threw Sobek, in my wrath, along with them..

KRONOS57: HA! You're not as infallible as you make yourself out to be. But enough of this nattering, I shall rile Hera up into a rage like none other, casting blame on her children... Jealous bitch that she is.

Apep: Well, opposite of you at least I didn't make such a huge mistake. Sobek doesn't have the needed powers to protect them from danger as he protected the army and Nile; however his experience might be a problem. But hopefully the spell will blur his mind. Well, Kronos. Two days from now send your divines. I will make Wadjet participate as well.

KRONOS57: And so it shall be done.

KRONOS57: How do I get out of here again?

Apep: ...The right corner 'X'. =_=

KRONOS57: Oh yeah.. right...

_」

 

Chin rested relaxed onto his thumb's palm-side, as the side of his index covered a bit his lips. The current session was going for 2 hours now, the defending part and offensive side were in a feisty dispute. Thoth felt pretty weak and tired today, it had to be a moonless night tonight.

 

After the two sides asked for a break, Thoth hit the gavel as a sign for the upcoming break of thirty minutes.

No one dared to go out before the judge rose from his place; as tradition he made his way from the backdoor. And his first stop had to be the toilet.

::SHHHHHH::

 

The tap water ran and Thoth had his palms on each side of the sink with head lowered a bit. From the edge of his chin a drop rolled off, his eyes fixed on the running water.

 

"Come. Come and join me.."

 

He knew who that voice belonged to. The moon god rose his gaze from water to the mirror before him. He understood that if summoned, the gods had to be ready for the darkness. The male knew how twisted Apep was. And it didn't take him long to figure out on that certain party, something was wrong. Alas, it was too late when he opened eyes again.

 

The god's palms squeezed grip against the sink. And as he flipped pages of thoughts in his mind, the empty toilet greeted someone else.

 

::CREAK::

His beautiful and deep gaze averted to side, it was a woman. The surprise rose in Thoth's eyes.

- ..Isis?

- Long time no see, Thoth.

 

He retreated from the sink, but knew something was too off. The goddess of motherhood and magic had no reason to visit the god. Unless...

 

- Came to disable me? - Thoth cracked a grin as his head tilt a bit to side. If another god was as good as him at magic spells, it'd be her.

- I like your thinking, however I am not such a cruel mother. - the goddess was a real beauty, not to mention her figure spoke how feminine and sexy she was. Thoth stood at one place, his composure was calm. It wasn't wise to take her lightly. Especially when he wasn't at his perfect form.

- As far as I know things speak differently.

- Well, I am not at fault that you are motherless. But if you need a mother so dearly.. - she grinned and closed the distance in a seductive way of walking. Thoth kept staring at her until she was out of his vision, right next to his side. Her chin brushed lightly against his shoulder,

- .. I am always ready to give you my love, you know it.

- Your kind of love.. - he stared forth, - ..is not the kind I need.

- My, you are as cold as a moonless night, Thoth. You hurt my feelings.

- What a paradox. As the goddess of motherhood, you've got anything but mother love.

- Well, I am really happy that you've observed me so well. Can I take it for an invitation? - she set her palm against his chest, the touch was rather hateful than tempting.

- When you'll give up? - he reached for her hand to place his own over hers.

- Heh. Never. I need your mind. It can grand me such a power. Unlike Apep, you don't lack feelings. How come you can keep your composure? I really want that power, Thoth. Why not we make a deal with me?

 

Thoth glanced over her, meeting eyes with the woman.

- I won't touch your brother, if you grand me with the wisdom and the secrets of worlds.

It wasn't the first time someone wanted these things from Thoth. He was already used to it, however..right now he had it hard. The only thing he could do in his state was probably to fist-fight her. However, he wasn't the fight-type unless someone pulled the wrong string.

- Why would I?

- Because I know who you loved and lost. I know how dearly you keep that memory. You are not soulless and heartless as they say, Thoth. The crown you bear is just too heavy. You do care about Anubis. And probably about the rest of the gods. Choose wisely.

- I pity you, Isis. And I am surprised that you take Anubis so lightly. And do you think Seth will sit and watch your doings? If truth is long gone and I am to disappear, chaos and the need to judge will last forever. This world knows how to judge, in fact the only thing that keeps it going is judgement. Don't take me lightly because I can really be heartless to the likes of you.

He gripped harshly on her hand and grinned almost innocently. The woman glared up at him.

- You will regret your choice, Thoth. Don't seek mercy from me when the time comes.

- Bring it on.

 

That being said, the toilet room got quiet again and he was alone.

His fingers traced back as he removed the gloves and immediately left the scene. Though he had acquired a bit of energy because of the people who departed from the human realm, it wasn't enough. It's just an energy that can supply an infant. The worse part is, people in the modern times had forgotten to worship him, to fear him. He was completely insatiable to the point of relief. Even in the graveyards, though there's still a couple of souls lurking around; they were still not enough. He turned out to be a being that only existed in a book, purely a tale to some. Hades was getting weaker, that's the fact.

 

But if he could instill fear and use it as a key to worship him that would be different. But it's most likely against his nature, it's far from the cycle. It may distort the process of death and afterlife. That idea was still in question...

 

The dark-haired male blamed himself for attending that crafty party. Had he known that it would end like this, he should've declined. He couldn't even contact the under realm, ask what's the condition. He needed to get back and do his thing but before that he need to find the initiator of all this madness.

 

"This is so stupid--" He mumbled as he went outside the ward.

 

The male then traveled at the backyard basking at the sun that was setting with its full prominence. Now that he remembered, he hated brightness. It looked so blinding compared to the darkness that curtains every night that kept him calm.

 

"I need to find a way for the humans to worship me like they used to worship me before." His decision was firm as his eyes flared with passion. He really needed to escape this cycle of humanity.

 

Hades stretched his arm a bit as blue warm flames covered his index finger. Circling the pointer, a black crow appeared at his front. IT was just a child's trick, but it would suffice he so thoughts.

 

"Observe from above." He ordered the creature whose crimson eyes stared at him.

[fameandfortune212]

Out of the cell he went along with the police officers, they headed for the outside of the prison. His bare feet deliberately dragged along the cold tiles of the floor. Before he reached the glass door, the strange machinery above the glass with red light dot somehow automatically split the two collided glasses apart, he looked at it strangely and shook his head, thinking to himself

 

"Humans"

 

Seth continued walking outside, the sun weakly shone onto his face. Seth stopped for a second, causing the officers to suddenly put their guard on and watched him carefully, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath of a nature air, it made a chaos god like him felt so content and almost wanted peace for the second... but he went on. He set his feet onto the big black vehicle that had a big metal container in the back and the rest of his escort team followed him in and on they went for the court.

 

The vehicle started to move but from the inside, Seth could only feel like he was being in some sort of shaker. It wasn't long until he could feel a slightly familiar voice inside his head.

 

"Come... Come and join me."

 

The god frowned a bit with what he heard, it was... Dionysus... Seth knew the voice. It was a foreign god that was banished along with him down to Earth. But how in the fiery hell did he gained such amount of power to summon gods in the matter of such short time. He growled lowly and frustratedly. His growl caught the attention of of the police.

 

Seth knew he was the most unwise when he lost his temper, so he tried to think for the first time in milleniums. "If it's Dionysus and he gained such power, he must have plan of what to do to get us back. But?... but what if it's NOT Dionysus, what if this is another trick of that damn foreign god. What if it's another scheme of him".

 

Seth felt his blood started to boil when he mentioned about it. Such powerful being as him, being tricked into this trivial form and within a fragment of a second, he lost it and decided to follow the summon whether it was real or fake, if it was real, fine, if it was not, Seth would rather die killing Kronos.

 

Seth looked up at the officers, his eyes seemingly to burst with flame from the inside, plainly he spoke "I need to go. Release me and i'll consider not killing each and every single one of you and take the releasing device myself". The officers widened their eyes and looked at Seth, some of them, Seth could smell the fear... and the rest of them tried to hold it in.

 

- "He's... scary, man... sh.. should we do what he said?"

- "Are you an idiot? You want to get fired?"

- "Bu... but what if he was real, you know damn well how strong he was"

- "Shut up."

 

And there it was... that was what he aimed for, the conflict, disorder within seconds. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath again, to let the essence of chaos run into his body, it wasn't much, but it was enough for him to get out of this metal container.

 

"Time's up"

 

Beastly and suddenly Seth chopped horizontal against the neck of the nearest officer which killed him instantly, the rest tried to get their guns out, but Seth has quickly used the dead officer as a shield to take all the bullets and smash him against the rest.

 

The driver heard noises, he tried to watch what was going on, and for that distracting moment the vehicle hit against another on the street. And there it was, his art work was done, almost everyone was severely injured, broken bones and blood was all over the place, the one officer Seth used as shield wasn't that lucky and has descended to the underworld. During the accident, Seth was injured as well his head was bleeding, dying a part of his hair into blood red, but it didn't mater, he searched for the keys of his cuffs and unlocked it. He walked on the pile of humans under him and went out of the vehicle. Out there he saw the car crashed, humans gathered and watched and eyeing on the strange male - himself, such chaos... such chaos. He grinned and started to head to where he heard the voice from.

 

"Let's massacre"

[Asakura-Sama]

The sound of peeling and scrapping can be heard, while the man in teal color hat open up a wrapper impatiently, afterwards of lost patience he finally threw the contents inside his mouth and started chewing it repeatedly.

“hmm… this thing is good……” well sadly it’s a human food called gum, it hardly levels up with what he naturally eat back then, but it still can satisfy him anyway.

 

=whimper=

 

The man shifted his eyes to his side and looked at the large dog with fluff golden fur

“Are you hungry boy?” he reached out his hand and stroke the golden fur of the dog “or you’re just bored just like me? Well it’s bothersome to do rounds isn’t?” the dog started whimpering again as if agreeing to everything the man was saying.

 

Then suddenly the dog’s ears perk up and turn his guard on, Anubis stopped stroking the dog and looked at the direction where the dog kept on staring at

“Inugami-kun?” a man in glasses with a neatly comb hair approaches him

“ah.. Asashi-sensei?” he suddenly stood up from where he sat and looked at the young man

”is that your dog? He look so obedient… student’s should admire your dog for being so obedient” then he suddenly flashes a smile and looked at the dog, but it seems the dog couldn't even calm down

“ahaha thanks….. Anyway is it my turn to round the school?”

”yes thank you very much, since we do not have many school staff we need janitors and other guards to cooperate, even teachers should do this kind of job, but it’s worth it, it’s for the students sake after all, well you do know students still like lingering in school at night sometimes which is dangerous ahah..”

Anubis narrowed his eyes and smiled back --what a disgusting duplicitous face to have-- he thought “nah it’s nothing, and I heard you volunteered yourself to have rounds every night, there should be more teachers like you, unlike other teachers out there who uses grades to blackmail students, so that they could force them to have sexual activities with them it’s disgusting isn’t it?”

”…..uh y-yeah, they are really disgusting, a school ground is meant for learning after all….” he suddenly readjusted his glasses, and looked somewhere, while smiling a bit awkwardly

--I hit a mark eh?...--

”anyhow inugami-kun I shall…, head out first, are you going to be okay alone?”

“ah no biggie my dog is with me”

”alright” he turned around and bowed down, but obviously he kept on looking somewhere else.

He finally turn left for the entrance gate, the dog finally relaxes himself, as it looks up and started wagging his tail

“sigh…. They’re disgusting isn't it clean outside but rotten inside…”

 

He looked at his dog and patted its head again “well nothing we could do about it, they could change but it takes time I guess, until finally it’s too late, anyhow let’s head out- urk….” He turned around and covered his mouth with his hand, while he placed his free hand to the wall, his long hair slides from his shoulders as he lean forward.

The dog stood up and walk by his side

 

=whimper whimper… arf!=

 

“ugh…. Hah… I’m okay boy….tsk! The scent of blood… ugh.. I want to vomit…” he wipe his mouth and looked up and started murmuring curses

“that bastard… what Is he thinking making havoc and a idiotic big mess, that rotten bastard keeps sending souls to the other side one after another without reason…..tsk…messed up bastard, not to mention that there’s the war freak who also does the same. Sigh….” the scent of blood alone makes him vomit, his the god of embalming and funerals, so cleanly organizing peoples death is his forte, gorish way of death just makes him sick.

 

He inhaled then exhaled quickly, while he slowly lean on the wall, calming his nerves, the dog worryingly sat beside his feet, he took his cap off and slides his palm in his hair, then he looked at the clear sky , while he tried to breath in some air, it’s not as if the air is fresh or anything it’s more like polluted too, but at least the scent of blood from earlier that might have carried by the wind, and that tensing feeling of death, had disappeared.

He keep looking at the sky a bit longer.

“heh….” He chuckled pitifully under his breath, then he putted his cap back on “it’s too late to feel homesick…” he looked at his phone to check the time

“hmph.. The other insolent buffoons are moving too.., I should always put my guard up from now on….”

“……”

“Speaking of which, it’s moonless tonight….” He snorted out ” ….. As if I care”

he placed his phone back to his pocket, then signalled his dog to come make rounds.

 

[AomineDaiki]

Shion, no, Hypno's left a big sigh. What a cold, cold day. Still he had to work. When he was in Olympus and the weather was bad he would sleep like a baby into his beloved brother's hands. The truth is that he always sleeps a lot. He is the god of war after all. Now he was stuck here, in an office full of scattered pappers, braf sketches and the smell of ink but still a friendly environment. After some time he realized that the chapter was done and that his mind was wondering off again. Hypnos got up from his chair. He put on his white scarf and knitted hat and of course a warm jacket. His face was hidden. Only his blue eyes and his nose were visible. The weather wasn't so bad but still he was so cold. He took the envelope with the pages and run to Tayu's office.

''Tayu-chan I finished them! I'm just gon-''

 

''Buahahahahahahaha!''

''Why are you laughing Tayu-chan?!''

 

''Knitted hat with cat ears? So cute! I should just start calling you ''Shion-chan'' or maybe ''Shion-nyan~''

 

''I'm leaving now!''

 

Hypnos was kind off pissed, something really rare for him since he is very calm. She was the only person that he was talking too but that was too much. She knew that he has a fetish with cats. No need to laugh and tease him. Leaving that aside he took the elevator and went to the 1st floor were was the exit. Now he was running to go to the station and take a ride. 'Geh, when i was a powerfull god i didn't need to use such things. I would be there just in the blink of the eye.' As he was passing the road he smelled a sweet scent. He took a look and saw a coffee shop but that sweet scent wasn't coming from the coffee! It was the sweet scent of hot chocolate. Hypnos run toward the shop, squeezing through the crowed. At the end he was able to get what he wanted.'Much better than Olumpu's nectar! I wish Than-......' He looked up to the cloudy sky with a melancholic look.

 

'I wonder when all this is this going to end...'

 

Hypnos couldn't get over the fact that he is living among with the humans. He used to live in the underworld where the sun and moon light wouldn't reach and disturb his sleep. He would live peacefully with his beloved brother Thanatos and when the time comes he and Thanatos would do their job properly. Now he is alone and almost powerless. Hypnos hold the cup of chocolate to his hands so that he will warm them up. Suddenly as he was walking he felt dizzy and a sharp pain on his stomach. He leaned on the wall and took a deep breath.'This again...' In his head there was a voice. Insisting, repeating the same phrase over and over again not letting Hypnos to sleep at nights.

 

'Come... Come and join me.'

 

Hypnos knew that he was growing weak. People will always fall asleep but they just pull energy out of him. Now, withought many powers his body and soul will be torn apart if he won't find followers. The invitation was tempting him.

Black-Thanato's speech

White-Hypno's(Shion's) speech

Teal-Hypno's thoughts

[b.lueeyes]

Gabriel James wasn't so much a front but what Ares liked to call his 'person suit'. He had heard the phrase somewhere before but now he couldn't quite recall it, things that weren't important often slipped from his mind like that. Unimportant meaning things that didn't revolve around his interests. Gabriel James had been created on a whim, but done quickly and done well.

 

He had started his organisation by worming his way into the hearts (and pants) of one of the higher American politicians in the defence sector, and from there, all it had taken was a few changes in files here, a few name drops there, and he had an organisation that could fuel his need for worship even more than simply watching war happen. Even when he had been in the heavens, Ares had never been a god who sat back while the people below prayed to him, or conducted war and devastated the world. No; Ares was a person who liked to push and prod. He liked to manipulate people into making more, doing more, creating more destruction.

 

It was sort of like a hobby.

 

So when he was cast out, upon the earth where war happened every day, it had become a low thrall that he could call upon. His powers were already well established despite the fact that he was no longer 'godly' he supposed. But...in this profession, he could create and dissipate wars on the whims of countries. Just because he says it will be good or bad for business. Ares has realised just how far he can push humans; they were so fragile but some, oh, some of them had a fire that he liked. He could make them do anything. He has done everything from torturing insurgents to madness, to paying suicide bombers, to sleeping with the rulers of countries to get what he wants.

 

Usually, it's the beginning of some kind of conflict, big or small.

 

It was pleasure and power to Ares. Every time war broke out, or civilians rebelled, or politicians push their countries to ruin, causing mayhem, it gave him more. Every time a bomb went off, with every drug cartel that shoots police or innocents, with every depraved and despicable act of war or terrorism, it gave him strength and a sick kind of pleasure that he revelled in.

 

On his way back to his home, having left the congregation, Ares felt a chill run down his spine. Raising an eyebrow, he lifted his head from where he had placed it on his hand and closed his eyes, listening to the whispers of the world.

 

'Come... Come and join me.'

 

Ah, Ares thought, a smirk breaking onto his face as he began to laugh, pushing his hair out of his dark eyes. Dionysus. One of his favourite siblings. He was fun, he was daring, and he was powerful in this day and age. And he was calling to him. Ares himself had not been thinking much about the possibility of returning to their homes, but there were a few he knew who were...was Dionysus one of them? Mmm...perhaps. But still. He would oblige him. He had never refused an invitation from Dionysus before, after all.

 

He directed his driver where to go, and got out a few blocks from the place after a rather short trip, having been within the centre of the city, ridding himself of his suit jacket, tie and belt, before taking off his shoes. Where he was going, he was sure they would only get in the way. He let his driver go, before turning down the street and walking, his back pulled straight, his hair tipping over his eyes. "I come, Dionysus." He called back within his mind, an almost playful tone to his voice. "Hope you're ready."

[InkompleteWish]

In the human world Sobek went by the name of Jack. He prefered just Jack, since his last name was Wani and didn't fit at all with his first name. He wanted to remind himself of who he was so he named himself 'Crocodile' (Wani in japanese). He did not want to take that much time in thinking about a name he isn't actually called. So just simple Jack was all he needed. During his first months after being banned to earth, he was a bit at loose in what to do. He saw his patron animal caged away, not really feared behind those steel bars. So he figured it wouldn't be a good idea to transform. After living in the streets and feeling his energy and power draining he came across this park. At that time it wasn't visited well and the plants lacked life as well as the animals. After asking around a bit (he isn't shy after all), he found out that this park wasn't really tended to since the city was searching for a gardener. Humans didn't appreciate clean air, lively plants or wild life that much anymore. Especially in cities. So Sobek decided to accept the job as gardener. After some months of wipping the park into shape again, more humans enjoyed taking a walk in his park now and then. Thus Sobek regained a bit of power.

 

With his first salary (at the beginning he didn't know what he should do with money) he bought some books on human behaviour and other daily things. After all, he was lacking power and he would just have to live with life on earth. It didn't take long for him to get the hang in things and he started to keep the park clean and enjoyable to every human that decided to visit. This park became his sanctuary after being banned here and he even asked if he could build a small hut for him to live in. His wish was approved and he actually had a fair live after this. But he didn't enjoy it of course, who would if they had lived over hundreds of years workshipped and given nearly anything? So he always seeked a way to become stronger. He even decided to sell a few plant or vegetable seeds in his free time, even opening a small shop (a stall at best) with different plant life and tools for people to buy. It took long but it was worth it, he was regaining his power step for step. Though he guessed it would come to an end at one point. Since he knew how big earth was and how small this city in comparison.

 

Though back to the present time. Sobek was currently weeding the small vegetable garden he decided to plant, since winter was comming it needed to be prepared for that season. He also needed to craft some animal homes for the animals that can't leave over winter. The god of water and fertility wouldn't take changes after all. Everything and everyone in his park will be protected, no evil shall ever befall them while he is living here. Fights will be broken up and everyone unfit will be thrown out. That was how Sobek lived and will continue to live. If not for the message he received in that moment.

 

//Come.....come and join me.//

 

It was an unknown voice to him. Sobek had heared of the others being banned with him. It must be a god of another country. Someone he didn't know and couldn't trust at the moment. Yet the offer was inviting. If the god was already able to call to all of them, than he might have a plan to return back to their rightful power. He stood up and dusted the dirt off his clothing. "So it is time. I shall go and listen to what he has to say at least." he muttered to himself and walked towards the park exit. Before finally leaving though he turned halfway around and his eyes flashed for a second. The park was under his protection, he could at least bring forth enough power to put a charm on it so no foul beast shall have entrance to it. Turning around again he headed to the meeting place his instincts lead him towards.

[SqueezeBabe]

The interior of the club was dark for now, the brilliant flash of cold fluorescent light illuminating the space. Without the neons, without the smoke it looked like a warehouse... he smiled to himself, that was just the dance floor. The cleaners were already busy with getting the club ready for another night of business; he prided that his club never smelt stale and old. The people came because he had the best lineups, the best shows, and the best drugs he thought to himself. Cutting a deal with the dealers was ingenious, and in a way he'd regulated the drug trade in the neighbourhood. They knew that the could sell their stuff in the club, provided that it was of quality. He wasn't interested in people dying of overdoses, Death was the domain of Hades, he just wanted people to have a really good time.

 

He sat in his office and began going through the paperwork that was the day to day routine of business... I come, Dionysus. Hope you're ready.... He paused. That was the voice of Ares. A smile tugged at his lips, of course Ares would be strong here, all around him the chaos of war pervaded society and gripped the world in terror, much more than it ever had back in the day when people were only aware of who lay over the border. Ares represented the chaos of war unlike his sister who represented the strategy of war... there was no strategy these days, only cold hard killing...

 

He frowned to himself, why did he just think of Athena? The hair rose on the back of his neck and he swallowed. The door to his office burst open and there she was.

 

"What the fuck are YOU doing here?" he asked sourly, and the look she gave him in return was murderous, "Hera has cast me out as punishment, for something that I have no knowledge, NOR recollection of, however YOU are responsible otherwise I would not BE here!" Dionysus pinched the bridge of his nose, "Athena, in case you haven't noticed, I've been gone for a while, so how on earth could whatever it is be MY fault? All I'm doing is trying to find a way back into the pantheon..." "You are NOT deserving of a place in the pantheon" she interjected harshly, "YOU are debauched, depraved, you are not deserving" she sneered at him. "So you would rather I stay here, and just become a God among Men? I thought you were smarter than that Athena, Even Ares has become more powerful than he ever was... speaking of which, I'm sure he's on his way here now..."

 

It was a bluff of sorts, Ares had only said he was coming; that didn't mean that he actually would. It would just be like his chaotic nature to say one thing and then do the opposite... but the name would instil some modicum of caution in his sister. Athena hissed at him, "I will end YOU and HIM and put a STOP to this, then Hera will have no choice but to allow me back for cleansing the world of your filth!"

[Saga]

 

Kronos stared at rather foreign to his understandings tool, which mortals called 'cell'. It seemed Apep was calling him. And to be expected, the god had a suitable nickname for Apep. He grinned at the 'asshole' part and kind of enjoyed the thought Apep had no idea how he was named. A flick of thumb, he answered the phone.

 

Apep: Took you long, Kronos! I hate to wait!

Kronos: Oh, sorry. You know I am not good with modern stuff.

Apep: I see. Did you send your women?

Kronos: Who do you take me for? Of course I keep my word!

Apep: Good! However, I am afraid I have to deal with one of my offspring in person.

Kronos: Seth?

Apep: Seth is in our plan's ongoing plot; and all went good so far. However, someone just cracked my nerves.

Kronos: Your nerves are as often as rain during winter in Egypt, Apep.

Apep: Shut up! It's just that annoying cockroach.

Kronos: You have fear of cockroaches?

Apep: ...

Kronos: ..Hello? ... Hmm, odd. Did I press something? Apep?

Apep: You seriously.

Kronos: What?

Apep: You know very well. It happened three hours ago.

Kronos: Oh. Well, it's not late to take actions.

Apep: That's why I have to greet him personally.

Kronos: Are you sure? After all, he, of all people, know how to play chess with you. And as far as I know, you always l-

Apep: Shut up, shut up. It's not I don't know the game. It's just him reading my mind or something. It's not the same.

Kronos: If you say so. However, you should calm down a bit, or you will screw us both up. I didn't waste so much powers for the heck of it.

Apep: I know. Make them strike tonight. While it's moonless night. Thoth can't move a flinch of finger to illuminate whatever illusion or danger. The world is particularly blind with his idiotic sense of 'truth'. Best chance we can have.

Kronos: Deal. How about you? What you plan to do?

Apep: To wipe his existence off this world.

Kronos: I think you have Thoth-complex.

Apep: ... Who said it.

Kronos: At any rate, be aware.

Apep: Likewise. And please, do rename me.

Kronos: ...'Ello? Apep? I can't hear you w-well. I think ----tion is getti--- lost! Bye!

Apep: ........

3 HOURS EARLIER

He stood before a large building, his gaze narrowed at a certain spot. The male felt the heavy atmosphere brought in the neighborhood by a certain god. Not to mention it was even heavier in his chest due to lack of some of his powers plus the moonless day/night. Of course even during the day when it was moonless, the god of moon couldn't feel the existence of that silver-plain source of powers..

Not even a single drop of sweat escaped the exhausted body of Thoth. He used quite some of his powers to be in time. In time for something he kind of predicted and wanted to be there.

 

He grinned. It was rare to meet another god. Another same god. So after all, his calculations were right. With the blink of eye, he slid and overlaid with the crowd. Although his long dark coat made him stand out like one of the businessman-class, he actually could take advantage of 'moonless day'. People wouldn't pay attention to him when he wanted to get lost. It was the plus of the minus, he had to survive so such a thing was only natural to guard his weak state. At least before the eyes of mortals. Else it'd be different for really powerful gods; they would easily spot him.

Besides that, there was a reason why he was there.

 

Each next step echoed in his mind. He took on a road dangerous for him; more than dangerous and his wisdom was aware of it. However, there was a thing he wanted to protect. The thing that only Isis was aware of.

 

I will end YOU and HIM and put a STOP to this, then Hera will have no choice but to allow me back for cleansing the world of your filth!

 

From outside the door he heard the goddess' voice. Thoth's lip corners relaxed, his expression plain and calm as ever. The god of wisdom reached for the door's knob and twisted it for an entrance.

 

- My, my. I never thought such a day would come to me. Athena. - the god left the sense of small smile dance upon lips.

- You..! - in her wrath, the goddess of wisdom had to gather her composure. It was visible she didn't want to lose to another god of wisdom.

They both knew too much of all worlds, but less about each other. A reason would be how well they could guard one's secrets. But was it really true?

 

Thoth glanced calmly and almost expressionlessly towards Dionysus. He saw the male was rather enjoying the wrath of the woman. A lift of brows came as he returned his gaze to Athena.

 

- What brings you here, Thoth?

- Same what brings you here, Athena. - he lifted his chin as a superior to the woman.

- Hah. Sneaky as ever. Is that how you use the blessing of wisdom? Shame on the supreme gods that created the worlds and chose you for the man's part of wisdom. I am alone enough.

- I suppose humbleness was never part of your trails.

- Hah, what is humbleness when you have the power to manipulate!? And this filthy trash here - the woman darted her index at Dionysus - thinks he is too good for the mortals' world! His place is exactly here! Among the rest of the trashes!

 

Thoth kept silent for a second as he reached his slender fingers for the woman's hair and tangled them around the silkiness; his velvet lips place a butterfly-kiss against the perfectly shiny hair.

- My Queen of Wisdom, may I remind you why we were granted with such powers? - his lowered gaze rose to make eye-contact, - "And we shall grant the wisdom of the woman, for she shall test the strength of the man. And we shall grant the wisdom of the man, for he shall test the love of the woman."

 

She hissed and averted her chin away, crossing arms before her chest.

- Sweet nothings have no effect on me, Thoth. Moreover, don't act as you know me and my brothers and sisters!

Thoth released the hair as pulled back, his gaze as piercing as ever,

- I suppose you know what's my hobby? It's exactly 'to know'.

- Are you blackmailing me!?

- Am I? - he grinned.

- .. You filthy leecher... you are not supposed to interfere!

 

Thoth's eyes took on a darker shade as his big palm reached for the goddess' forehead and set his palm there. His voice low and calm at same time,

-I have to disappoint you, Queen of Wisdom. My kindness can't exceed so much. I must say, my kindness is the worst one you can beckon.

- You! - she reached to slap the hand..

- Begone.

 

And so he made her disappear for the time being. At least as far as his current powers could allow. And it wasn't very far though. But that could gain some time for the gods to gather, besides that Thoth knew the night shall fall and he needed to be somewhere safe. Until the morning would greet him with 'truths'.

 

- Ah..feast upon the lies and illusions, I need some powers tomorrow. Especially during moonless nights..-- - he threw his deep gaze towards Dionysus. The male stretched his velvet lips in a greeting smirk, the gods knew each other for some certain time. After all, Thoth was the god of moon, nothing in the darkness of night was a secret to him, including Dionysus' secrets.

- Pour me some wine, Dionysus. We shall await for the rest of the gods. - his manipulative gaze showered the Greek god of wine. Besides, he knew soon enough, soon enough, he'd meet Apep.

"--it's that wine God again..."

as Hades nodded at the patients who were passing by and was greeting him. The call was still replaying inside his head. Never had he thought that some God could communicate to him despite his weaken state.

 

But Hades had enough of this gatherings...The God of the Underworld had his fair share of being fooled and perished into a place where he didn't like to reside. Not in the least, he'd already ignored that summon. Though he isn't that powerless to fight the initiator, Hades didn't really cared at all. It was as if he was anticipating for some other God to do the work rather than him doing it. Had he known he was this unproductive, the male chuckled a bit. He didn't want to lift a finger without knowing almost everything about the situation...

 

Antisocial, stoic, introvert, unproductive, unsupportive and the rest of those words; Hades really was completely neutral. Though he hadn't admitted the fact that he was alright with his current condition, he himself wanted to go back but not as of the moment. The God wanted to know what really was the gist of this story. He wanted to know more without bothering the rest.

 

Just to be sure, the male ordered his ever trustworthy crow to attend the meeting on his stead. He was busy in the hospital, in the first place. It was his new call after being thrown at earth, after all. In all honesty, the job suited him well. Just the right time for him to have something to be busy with.

 

"That place isn't bad--"

As Altair glanced outside his window as his crimson eyes surveyed at the almost barren land at the west side of the city.

 

 

 

 

A place called a 'cemetery ' in the human realm.

 

|sorry for the delayed reply .busy with school stuff |

The strange man, who covered in wound, half of his face was covered in blood that was almost dried up. He attracted many attentions while his pace was fastening time after time because he was in the middle of the street, he caused traffic jam, and people yelling and honking to have their drive clear from this crazy strange person.

 

His mind didn't pay much attention for anything else but the one purpose - following where the voice of Dionysus came from. After a long walk, he finally reached where he wanted to reach, it was a large building that people were rushing in, and the people went in wore the most outrageous clothing, they barely wore any clothes, they wore as much clothes the slaves that the Pharaoh captured for their Pyramid construction. He heard voices around as they said something such as "night club". He thought to himself "The only ... n-n-night clubs (?) i knew back in the day was called brothel" and tilted his head.

 

But it wasn't the main point of why he was here, he shook his head to wash off the thought and entered the building. Some men with black clothes, tall feature and a black eye patch made with crystal element called glasses/shade on their eyes... "they must be blind" he thought, tried to stop Seth from entering the building, giving questions to him. How brave. By the time they finished their sentence, Seth has bluntly had his hands gripped onto the collar of those men and sent him across the room like big pillows, as well as put them to sleep from such powerful impact on the back of the heads.

 

He finally entered the club, it was a wild place, full of color lights, full of people and loud annoying rhythm. "This is just... Greece. Just like one of those orgies of the ancient time" He murmured. It was so annoying that even when he sent a hurricane to some place once in a while was less terrible than this. He frowned and grabbed the nearest thing to his right hand - which accidentally happen to be a tray of one of the waiters who was serving their guests - and darted it at one of those amplifier devices and broke it immediately.

 

After satisfying his needs for smashing things that annoyed him, he continued to go to Dionysus's room. He saw Thoth... along with Dionysus... too bad it wasn't Kronos. The two looked rather relaxing and having a drink. Drink. Speaking of that made him thirsty for he hadn't been drinking nor eating for a whole day, he grabbed the winery glass bottle before the god of wine poured any drop of it to Thoth and drank it just like a brute he was, splashing all over the place. He gulped the wine down his throat to cool down his thirst. "Aaaahhhhhh... This is not as good as The Jade Emperor's Elixir but thank you" He gave back the god of wine his empty bottle.

 

Seth found himself a seat opposite to both of the males and located his body on there as if it was his home "So... you seem to be enjoying your moonless night, Thoth and Dionysus?"

-----Buzz…. ----

 

With the sudden Vibration on his left side pocket, he jerks his head towards it, he grabbed his phone immediately

“ohh… it’s this late already?” apparently it’s an alarm, it continued snoozing telling him that the time is already late, he shifted his gaze on his dog whose beside him loyally

“I guess we could go now huh? I didn’t see those fucking brats anyway” well in some cases, those brats from the journalism group would always stay after school to do there so called ‘Investigation’, well as long as they are not within the premises then less work for him to finish.

 

After a while he yawned and stretches his body from left to right, then he headed for the janitor’s locker room area to switch clothes, well he can’t just wear a janitor’s clothes forever, so he with a slight force he opened his almost battered locker, for getting pissed sometimes.

He took his upper shirt off and threw it inside with a thud, and then he grab his fresh white shirt and a dark blue jacket, and put them on immediately, the chains in his pants with a stuff toy supposed to be looking dog that is bandage up was hanging, gave a quick sound, as he adjusted his clothing in a haste, he hate getting chilled after all, he rubbed his nose a little for getting a bit cold, then he slammed his locker close.

 

He brushes some dust off from his jacket, then he turned his phone on and plug in some earphones into his ears, and started playing some random music from the modern times, although its manmade, his enjoying it all too much, is it because he can see this things from the souls he used to weigh, as one of there so called everyday desire?, that’s why his a bit familiar to it now? He thought to himself.

Never the less, he exited that cram up room, and slides his cap back on, hiding some of his features, then he look at his dog that’s waiting patiently outside the door.

“hmm?..... I want to eat hotdogs today….”

 

=whimper?=

 

“hahah just kidding boy” he pat’s his confuse pet in the head, then he placed his thumb and pointer to his mouth then a sharp whistle came out from him, seconds later 2 big looking dogs came

“ Saluki, whippet come” the two dogs came in a rush immediately to him, Anubis crouch down into their level and started tying up a ribbon with a letter onto the white dog’s neck

“Saluki tell them I might come if I’m not bored, if I’m not bored that is” and then he patted the white dog for a while, after a second it immediately dashes off with the letter in his neck still intact, the other dog with a black fur remained though.

“And as for us, I might sniff on some fresh air for myself* he said that with a smirk, then he putted both of his hands onto his pocket, and started walking on the busy streets.

 

 

It takes just a minute for him to arrive in a place he might also call a blissful sanctuary, he have halt into a stop in front of a very huge white building, where in all sorts of people come and go, although his stomach is churning every time he find himself looking and smelling a very feverish stench as the others would call it blood, he ignored it for a while, the atmosphere here is much different from the rest of the world after all.

“you two stay here” the two dogs sat down not far from the building, and without hesitations Anubis entered the building.

Beeping and other unfamiliar noises started to creep onto his head, and the stench of death in here is much more lingering then in any other place, even the giving life things is present here, it was energy for him.

 

Some humans came rushing here and there they seem very busy, and the other ones was also busy, actually everyone is very busy, as if they are trying to fight off dead itself, even back in the old times, during disciplinary time, they would still like to fight death off, sometimes it’s for the good cause they see their faith strengthen but sometimes it’s for the worst, which lead them to their own destruction, it was pitiful after all, Anubis see them go to the afterlife with a pure soul, then comes back in the realm of the dead tainted again.

 

”Docto- ah…” a running woman wearing a white uniform suddenly bump onto him

”I’m sorry please excuse me” without turning back, the woman rushed to a man, whose presence is so familiar he couldn’t miss it

“Well… well….” A smile run down his lips, after the woman finished whatever was it, and left already, Anubis approached the guy and tapped the man’s shoulders 2 -3 times

“Oi… hello there doc, and who would ever thought that the man who craves death would now have a passion to save lives, how ironic” he shrugs for a while and step back to see the man in front of him better

“You found a good place here huh? How could you keep it to yourself this place fresh air huh?, Hades…. You should share it sometimes, don’t be greedy now” He narrow his eyes and smiled innocently.

Hypnos was ready not to meet Dionysus. On the other hand he needed his help. Everyday his body was growing weaker and weaker. He had to find followers and he had to make his way back to where he was a God, living with the gods and rule. Of course there was a chance that he might not be able to take the gods back to where they have to be but for now he is powerfull enough. At least much more powerfull than he is right now. He decided to go and find Dionysus. No matter what, in one way or an other he will go back.

 

The night was growing dark. The narrow streets were empty drown by the darkness giving the feeling that something bad will emerge grap your soul and tear it apart. The street's lights were not enough. Some of them were not working and some of them they were flickering. The atmosphere was moisture. There were some poeple though on the streets. Everyone of them were well dressed probably going at parties and those so called night clubs, the celebrations of modern years. Well, a bit different from the nice celebrations they had in olympus. After walking a lot Hypnos finally found that night club. There was crowded with many people thought waiting to go inside. Hypnos had to squeeze his way inside this club. He had quite a small body so that would be easy for him.' What am i doing...i could be sleeping right now....' After giving a long face, staring at the people pushing each other he took a deep breath and vanished into the throng.

 

After a while he was already in the club. The music was so loud almost annoying him. 'Couldn't he choose a quite place?' He was walking into the club trying to find the rest of the gods. He was still wearing his knitted hat with the cat ears and his coat. Even though it was hot enough in there he wouldn't take them off. Some people were looking at him and laughing. Hypnos though didn't know why they were laughing, he just ignored them and kept walking. After a while he finally found them in Dionysus's room with Thoth and Seth. He quietly came in and sat on a chair. He didn't know what to say. He just sat there and looked at them. 'This is awkaward....'

 

'Dionysus, I decided to join too...'

 

Finally Hypnos said.

[b.lueeyes]

Dark eyes flashed with a golden fire as the presence of someone very familiar to him both flickered to life and died like a flame snuffed out, in a matter of mere minutes. The burning, gentle fire that once was known to him as the energy of the moon wracked his psyche and he let out a low growl, quickening his pace through the crowds, barely considering the idea that humans might notice the slight flicker to his steps.

 

Athena, Goddess of the Moon, Goddess of Wisdom, Patron of Athens, Height of the Pantheon. What in hellfire was she doing here?

 

Reaching the warehouse-like-space, he felt the presence of Dionysus and...others, that he did not know or had not felt so often; he tended to forget those he deemed not important but they seemed otherwise otherworldly, so he supposed...Dionysus was summoning the gods indeed. Yet, that rational part of his mind was cast out in favour for his anger and the glowing need in his gut to rip Athena to shreds, which just came with being her brother he supposed, and he burst into the space, throwing the doors wide and stalking across the converted space, startling a few of the- were they cleaners?

 

He didn't bother with pleasentries that Gabriel James might have used, instead pulling his shoulders back and stalking towards the upper landings, seeking out Dionysus, the scent of power he knew so well. He shoved open the door with quick precision, his power rising in his hands on instinct as he caught scent of the linger presence of his sister.

 

Dionysus was easy to spot, the other two in the room currently not on his radar as he narrowed his eyes to him, wishing he had his spear as he scoped the room with dark eyes, his back flexing beneath the expensive fabric of his shirt. "She was here." He hummed low in his throat, a flush of gold erupting in his eyes at the idea that she had been here-

 

-and he had missed his chance!

 

"You called me Dionysus, why? And why was the bitch here, of all the gods?" He asked, stalking across to stand between the two figures in seats, his hands resting on the back of the chairs, his power momentarily calming by the sense of two other...gods, it seemed. His eyes flickered down to the two, who both were-

 

-oh? Egyptian?

 

"Dionysus, dear Carus,you have some serious explaining to do."
