Hi Everyone! I'm so glad you are here reading this, and will be as entertained reading as I am writing this new story about the famous Greek gods. As soon as I read Percy Jackson, I fell in love with the greek gods. I mean, who wouldn't? They are so gosh darn FUNNY! I wanted to incorperate them with my game, but I wasn't sure how. Then this idea hit me like a lighting bolt. (No pun intended) When I actually got to writing it down, I was amazed at how easy they were to write about. By now you are probably imencly tired by my introduction and want to hear the story. So here we go:
Apollo: Hey, hey! Where are we!
Hera: Yeah Where are we!
Zeus: How am I supposed to know?
Armetis: No one asked you.
Posidon: You guys it’s awfully dark in here…
Demeter: No duh, Seaweed Brain
Posidon: Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?!
Demeter: Ugh!
Posidon: Well I’m just trying to be helpful!
Demeter: Try again, Tuna breath.
Athena: BREAK IT UP!
Ares: Aww C’mon Athena, it was just getting good!
Athena: We all have to stick together!
Hades: Like that’s gonna happen.
Artmetis: Well it would if it weren’t for you BOYS!
Apollo: Now calm down Little Sis…
Artmetis: AND DON’T CALL ME LITTLE SIS!!!!!
Dionysus: You know what you guys need? Wine. It calms the nerves like nothing else can do.
Athena: When you rule the world, it isn’t really a good time to get drunk.
Dionysus: Well, we can’t rule the world right now anyway, so what’s the dif?
Athena: *sigh*
Dionysus: Well I can’t grow a single solitary grape vine, or anything down here so it doesn’t really matter
Athena: Well us girls-
Aphrodites: You know Ares, in the dark, it is a good time to do a little something, if ya know what I mean
Ares: I sure do, honey-buns.
Athena: MOST of us girls are going to actually try to find a solution.
Ares: Good luck. You’re going to need it.
Athena, Hera, Armetis, Demeter: Boys…
Athena: So what should we do?
Hestia: I wish I could start a small fire. It’s always easier to think at the hearth.
Athena: I know, Honey, don’t worry. We’ll get out soon, you’ll see.
??? : It could be sooner than you think…
Posidon: Hey who said that? Where are you?
Ares: Yeah!! Show Yourself!!!
??? : All in good time…For now, Look up
Hephaitus: We can’t see anything, It’s pitch back.
???: I know, I know, but I thought at least this way you know where to look.
Hera: What about Posidon’s first question? Hm?
???: You gods…Call me…Phetero.
Armetis: Why Phetero?
Phetero: Because you gods won’t take “no name” for an answer.
Hesta: Where are we?
Phetero: Ahh…A smart question…finally! You are in the pit of Tartus.
Hades: Home Sweet Home…Why are we here?
Demeter: No Duh! Because Phetero brought us here!
Zues: Yes but why?
Athena: Are you that hopeless?! Because he wants to rule the world!
Apollo: Is our security so bad that he could kidnap us all?
Athena, Hera, Armetis, Demeter, Hestia, Aphradities: NO DUH!!!!!
Hermes: You don’t have to be so mean about it.
Athena: Well some of you guys are not that bad, but OTHERS could use a bit of improvement.
Zeus: Sheesh, you don’t have to be SOOO bossy!
Athena: Look who’s talking….
Dionysus: She has a point…
Zeus: HEY!
Dionysus: Well she DOES!
Zeus: Never mind, let’s get back to the point.
Phetero: Oh I don’t mind…you can be so hilarious!
Hestia: geez, that’s nice. Right up there with kidnapping us…
Phetero: Excuse me, Madam. I did not mean to offend you, personally. Actually I did not kidnap you myself. Fate did that…No not the 3 fates…Fate is his name. Said something about you needing a lesson. I’m just a messenger.
Hermes: “just a messenger”!!
Phetero: Terribly sorry (laugh) I meant by that, that I was not the worker in this plan. I must go, now.
Hestia: (Near tears) Wait! Please!! I’m scared!! And you know what’s going on!! Please Stay!!! I don’t even really know where I am!!
Phetero: I wish I could Madam. However I am as lost as you only not so deep. I can’t help you.
Hestia: Oh but, you could!
Phetero: I am deeply sorry, but good bye.
Hestia: (Trying to suppress tears, but failing)
Hades: I’m sorry…
Hestia: No, no. It isn’t your fault.
Hades: No, I know. But this shouldn’t being happening to you. The rest of us, yes. But you are so good. So innocent.
Hestia: You aren’t so bad, you know. You aren’t always fighting, like Zeus and Posidon are.
Hades: Oh…Thanks.
Hestia: You know this place, really well, don’t you?
Hades: Uh, yeah, I do.
Hestia: I’ve always wanted a tour of the Underworld!
Hades: You do?
Hestia: Yeah.
Hades: Most don’t. And I thought you…with the hearth, and all…
Hestia: I get that. I always thought you’d be grumpy. At least your assumption is based on fact…
Hades: Yeah…I guess.
Hestia: So what do you know about where we are?
Hades: We are in a ten by ten foot chamber, thirty feet deep, with places to sit all around the perimeter. Actually we could all sit down. It’s very clean.
Hestia: How can you tell others aren’t sitting?
Hades: I’m used to the dark. I can’t see. Well, I can see outlines, if I try hard.
Hestia: Why didn’t you mention something before?
Hades: I knew this looked familiar, but I couldn’t tell why…
Hestia: Oh…
Athena: So what do we do now?
(Suddenly, a circle of light appears about 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide. This fleshes out with an image of Sunset Valley, a town with a small downtown in the center which has branches of streets that house houses, and empty lots. Then a man, Fate, appears in front of all this as a separate image)
Athena: Hey! You’re the guy that kidnapped us!
Ares: Why, I’ll turn you into pulp!
Fate: That is not possible. I am an image, a hologram if you will.
Ares: I hate them images.
Fate: I know, but I have important information, for you all.
Demeter: Well? Spit it out!
Ares: Like this! (he spits)
Armetis: GROSS!
Fate: You will one by one come here, to prove your worth as a god, you each will have a challenge to uncover and complete.
Zeus: I think we are fit to be gods!
Fates: As Immortals yes, as mortals, well that’s debatable…
Posidon: We’re MORTAL?!
Hestia: I don’t want to be mortal.
Fate: Relax girlie, you are still immortal in that you can’t die, but you can’t do your normal powers, until you are out of this pit, and once you are in this world behind me you can indeed die of lack of food, water, that type of thing.
Athena: Why would we go in there, then?
Fate: Why to get out of here, of course! Once every one of you enters this world you may leave Tartus.
Armetis: Sounds dangerous
Apollo: and mandatory.
Hades: Not necessarily…
Armetis and Apollo: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!
Hades: Touché…
Fate: So I’ll be leaving now. Remember I’ll be watching…
Athena: Why?
Fate: Actually, I just want to hear what you guys say with each situation.This is going to be better than tv
Athena: Ugh!
Fate: Good Bye….
Ares: And Good Riddance…
Fate: Pardon?
Hestia: He said “See you”!
Fate: Indeed? (He fades away and disappears)
*Silence*
Posidon: Now what?
Athena and Zeus: I’ll take control!
Hades: If you will all excuse me I suggest we vote for a threesome of leaders. I’ll forgo my vote for being the counter. Everyone will vote for 3 gods. No one can vote for yourself.
(After they all vote)
Hades: So the answers are…we all voted the leaders to be Hestia for her sweetness, Athena for her wisdom and strategy, and me for my awesomeness!
Athena: A-hem!
Hades: Fine I was voted for my knowledge of Tartus…though awesomeness will work in a jam.
Zeus: Humph! Well then what do we do now?
Hades: Hey! We just accepted our new title! At least give us time to, you know, bask in the glory of being over my big brothers!
Athena: If I may interrupt, I believe we should work on our strategy right away.
Hades: What’s there to work out? We go into the town, figure out the challenge, solve the challenge, get out, and go home. Sounds pretty pre-fixed if you ask me.
Athena: Yes, but who goes first?
Zeus: How about alphabetical order?
Demeter: Obviously, so you can go last.
Apollo: It is a good idea…it’s predetermined.
Armetis: and doesn’t include bias opinions.
Hermes: Except for Zeus…
Demeter: Well, if we did it by most popular, he would be last, anyway, so…
Zeus: Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?!
Athena: Not this again…
Ares: You take the fun out of everything!
Zeus: Agreed.
Athena: Can we change the topic?
Posidon: If we go in alphabetical order using the American alphabet, because those are only one letter, that means Aphrodite goes first…
Aphrodite: Wait a minute, what?
Athena (While Ares, Posidon, Hephaestus, Zeus, Hermes and Hades drag Aphrodite) : C’mon Aphrodite, get it over with!
(They push her in)
That's all for now. From now on there will be pictures to acompany the text. I have all the pictures taken for Chapter 1 so you can most likly expect it tomorrow! : D
