Deity!AU Aiden worships Frank? That's interesting. From your other Deity art I would've thought Aiden would have more connection to Wally. Or possibly even Julie.
When it comes to Wally, I see Aiden meeting him later in life, not as a follower but as strangers. Wally meets Aiden at two different points of his life.
As for Julie, him and some of his people do make offerings to her for a good harvest but it’s not like their main god. It’s more out of respect, y’know?
That goes to Frank; Frank is what their homes culture sort of revolves around and whom they give the most respect and offerings to.
Aiden grew up worshiping him and is some of the very few to actually see and directly speak to him. And even with that being said, not all of the people of his home were called on by Frank personally to be a follower, Aiden was.
Sort of think Odysseus and Athena.
Also to add on to what I just said, no Aiden cannot see all the gods. They have to allow themselves to be seen, otherwise people do not exactly know what their deities look like. They have an IDEA but they may miss details from culture to culture ^^
Edit: Adding more info hehe
Also! The gods call to you for what you need in life or sometimes what you’re passionate about. HOWEVER, they show themselves/speak to you when you are ready. If you are not ready for their guidance they will call with their signals (ex: Sally with the sounds of clapping or Barnaby dogs). You must follow your instinct to find them.
So with Aiden, Frank called to him when he was in need of knowledge and strategy as he was passionate about being a chief like his dad (the sort of ‘king’). Frank stayed due to how well they worked together.
Wally did call once but Aiden didn’t go to him at the call. Only later found him when Wally was wondering around on land out of curiosity. Wally helps him loosen up and have the carefreeness that he once had again.
The deities teach you lessons and its up to you if you want to listen. If you do not listen, they might not stay long.
A lot of it comes down to listening to your intuition and trusting them. hehe
