long ago, a nation of people worshiped the gods. & the gods were merciful. they were kind. they graciously accepted sacrifices, & gained their power from prayer, which on such a large scale, made them invincible. but as time wore on, the prayers grew silent. their temples, which people had once worshiped at, were torn down. statues crumbled, paintings burned, pottery smashed.. until there wasn’t much left. the prayers ended, & the nation of people began to worship a new god. the gods’ power began to dwindle, their gifts dimmed by the lack of sacrifice, of adoration they’d begun to rely on. olympus was in shambles. gods & goddesses began to fear what would happen, if no one loved them anymore. F E A R. fear was the igniter.
hiding away in olympus didn’t help any of them, it only made their weakness grow. instead, in a desperate attempt to salvage what remaining gifts they’d managed to keep, he suggested.. the immortals move. down to earth, among humans. being around them, in their world, it wouldn’t change the lack of prayer. or believers. but it would stop the isolation. the mounting fear that one day, people would forget them all together.
HADES HAD A DIFFERENT PLAN.
hades was never worshiped. humans feared him, the black devil of the underworld, eager to claim your soul & drag it into purgatory. so when the prayers stopped, his powers didn’t diminish. so, over time, he became the most powerful god, as zeus’s own gifts faded. he felt vibrantly good about himself, until he heard his younger brother’s plan. hades didn’t agree with it. gods were meant to be worshiped, held in higher esteem than mortals who’s lives he claimed daily. as he watched his family, some estranged, some not, invade earth & blend in with humans, gaining jobs, buying houses.. it made him sick. so he came up with a plan; force humans to worship them again. to pray. to sacrifice. make them fear them just as they’d once had. it would bring back their powers, their strength..
THIS CAUSED A RIFT BETWEEN THE BROTHERS.
zeus & hades became more at odds than ever. hades proposed his plan, shattering loyalties, & making immortals pick sides. which one will you side with when the brewing war finally begins?
ZEUS: enjoy many lifetimes. live among the humans & stay somewhere that helps with ever encroaching loneliness. because even if they don’t pray to you anymore, they’re still humans, & you still love them.
HADES: make them pray again. hiding in the shadows is a sign of weakness, making them believe in their existence again isn’t a bad thing. it’s a necessary evil to bring gods & goddesses back to their original glory.
