Fantasy May the Gods be Damned

[EvelienLocalArtist]

The Gods of Olympus face hard times as a meeting is scheduled to be called to discuss the inevitable.


Chaos is dying and so there for they are too. Chaos is everything, and everything is Chaos, and when Chaos dies everything else dies too. They need to find a way to save Chaos or at least slow his death until they find another way to save the universe. Gaia has tried to help but to no avail, and the God's fighting does Chaos's health no good.


This meeting is so important that it has drawn out even the King of the Underworld himself into council. After not stepping foot on the outside world for thousands of years Hades isn't exactly a very favored God especially since all that time allowed for countless rumors to build up about what a terrifyingly ugly beast he was, and how he feasted on all the soles he sent to Tartarus. Are those rumors true?


No one will know until the meeting set at dawn tomorrow when Apollo drives his sun chariot through morning sky. Until then the Gods are forced to wait worriedly of what will come of this meeting.


_-_ _-_ _-_ _-


This is not in a modern setting, but when the Gods and Goddesses were at their peak in human believe. So please, please, please don't have your character say something like: "I just like don't know anymore, cause everything's super weird." Thank you in advance!


You can be any of the many Gods you want. That goes anywhere from Zeus, God of all Gods, to Iris, Goddess of rainbows. Humans are yes part of this RP but not a very big one and are hardly used. Shades are more used than the actual mortals themselves. Nymphs are also available but again only used a little more than Shades. Titans probably won't come into play, but hey they might.


Yes romance is allowed but nothing too physical. Swearing is also allowed but please keep it to a minimum and please pardon yourself before hand.


Please use proper grammar and write whole paragraphs not little sentences. Also please do not make it so your character is invincible. I realize these are Gods and Goddesses, but still, being all powerful and not even able to take a hit kills the RP.


One more thing, please be in this RP for the long run, it really bugs me when there are random profiles just sitting there that never got called into action. I realize sometimes it's bad timing or you just can't find a spot for your character. But please, message me and we can find a way to squeeze you in here.

Persephone smiled brightly looking about her as she roamed Demeter's garden. Her mother was walking behind her and she could hear her dress graze across the grass behind her.


"Are you worried?" She asked Demeter sitting down in a bed of young daisies that blossomed at her touch. "About the meeting?" She looked back at her mother with a worried gaze.


She had asked the other deities this same question and the all said the same thing. 'I have faith that Zeus will put everything right again. I just hope he and his other brothers can come to agreement on it.' At first this had comforted her but now, after hearing it over and over it filled her with slight annoyance and curiosity. Did the three Kings not get along that badly? She knew Zeus and Poseidon got along but what of their brother, Hades?

 

[Valjean24601]

Demeter sighed softly at her daughter's inquiries. The poor child knew nothing of the chaos brewing within the court of the gods, within their family.


"Sweet one, do not concern yourself with such things. You are but a child and needn't worry about politics and all that nonsense."


She waved her hand about as if to batt the idea away with the flick of her fingers before sitting down next to her daughter, a chair fashioned out of tree roots and gnarled shrubs springing up from the earth beneath her.


"All will be well, as it always has been, this I assure you, Persephone."

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Persephone couldn't help but frown at this unsatisfying answer. "That may be so, but one day I will need to know of politics and the other nonsense. So I might as well learn of it now." Persephone said a hint of stubbornness in her voice. She looked over at all the other flowers in the garden and let her thoughts wonder off from their conversation and onto her soon to be husband, Apollo. Just what those thoughts consisted of was something she would never let her mother know of.


"I am not a child, that fact that tomorrow is my wedding should be more than enough proof of that for you." She said in a mature and calm tone as she stood up. "I shall return before nightfall." She promised, knowing her mother wouldn't allow her to be out a second longer, after the sun had left the sky. So she walked out of her mother's garden with a relaxed air about her, despite her now eager need to be away from her mother.

 

[Valjean24601]

"Persephone! Persephone come back... Persephone..."


She called her daughter back to her, outraged that she would dare speak to her mother in such a tone.


But by the time she could even utter her daughter's name once more the little lass was gone from her gardens and Demeter was left alone amongst her willows and flowers and laurels and gourds. 
Apollo returned to Olympus, the pounding of his horses hooves resounding across the cloud leaden paths of his mountain home. Golden gates parted at his arrival and his temple stood proud and shining out of the fog bank that drifted lazily through his extensive gardens of laurel trees and healing herbs.


Young nymphs and his many attendants hurried out to meet the god of the sun, taking his horses out to graze and his chariot to be mended.


Many architects were gathered near the rear of his great temple, obviously putting the finishing touches on the quarters and bath built specifically for his soon to be wife's pleasure and leisure time.

Persephone had ignored her mother's calling and was relieved to be in silence again as her walk turned into a run as she smiled to herself running quickly into the wide meadow she so often retreated to when she wanted to be alone. Slightly out of breath she let herself fall back into a bed of lilies that blossomed and grew to cushion her. She waved her hand over them and suddenly they grew as tall as a man and casting large shadows over the young goddess. She could see the life flowing through each of the giant lilies and stroking the stem of one she smiled proudly to herself at the plant's beauty.

 

[Valjean24601]

Apollo strolled the grounds of his temple until he came upon a flock of exotic birds, scared from their roost in the nearby meadow by some sort of disturbance. Curiously, the young god drew his bow and notched an arrow, perhaps a mountain goat or ram had climbed its way to the mountain top and Apollo would be the one to skin it.


Ever so silently he crept forward until, to his surprise, he spotted the auburn locks of his betrothed laced with the grass beneath a canopy of great lilies.


His face fell for a moment, dissapointed his hunt had come to an end but then plastered on brilliant smile and towered over her as she lay in the grasses.


"Enjoying yourself, sweet Persephone?"

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

"Ah, if it isn't my dear little sister." Hades said, strolling through the gardens, heading over to Demeter. "It had been a long time since I have been to your gardens and, as what is usual, I still find it too warm for my tastes. But nevertheless, it is quite beautiful in here." He said, plucking a petal from a flower. The petal shriveled up, dying instantly.

 

[Valjean24601]

Demeter stiffened instantly, a chill coating her spine with a frosty hatred.


"Hades, my dear brother." The goddess turned to watch her eldest brother destroy one of her many flowers and with a flick of her wrist a new flower sprung to life in its place, hoping the action would spite her outcast sibling.


"What do you know of beauty?" She scoffed, not even bothering to conceal her distaste for the god.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Persephone's brow twitched slightly hearing a voice disturb her quite bliss, but upon realising just whose voice that was she smiled brightly. "I am. Care to join me noble Apollo?" She asked looking up at him, her hand reaching up to him.

 

[Valjean24601]

He slung his bow and single arrow into the quiver on his back before removing it and laying it in the grass beside the two of them as he also joined her beneath her massive creations.


"What are you doing out her, little flower? I had been informed you were in your mother's company this evening?"


He cocked his eyebrow curiously.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Hades chuckled, waving his hand over the flowers, causing them to rot and die. He knew the Demeter could just as easily bring them back to life, but he did it more to annoy her than to actually cause damage. "I missed you too dear sister." He said to her, his smile more chilling and unnerving than his scowl. "I know everything about beauty. You see sister, one thing everyone seemed to forget is that, I know everything about anything that ends and dies. I know about every history of every person that ever lived, their sorrow and their joy are known to me, their fears and weaknesses, strength and happiness. Everything that ends is mine and, frankly, beauty is among them." He said, crushing a bunch of flowers in his hand.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Persephone sighed softly at his question. "I had been, with her, but as you can see I am now out here, with you." Her smile grew sweetly. "So why have you joined me here today? When you can join me tomorrow?" She questioned playfully and waved her hand over his quiver and golden flowers bright as the sun blossomed from it, making her giggle.

 

[Valjean24601]

Demeter winced as he crushed the bundle of sweet Williams in his hands mercilessly.


As cold and as cruel as she had remembered him, Hades lived up to his adopted reputation.


"Would you stop destroying my garden, you insolent brat?"


She snapped, irritated with his crushing and killing. Again she rose new blooms from the earth and glared stonily at him, daring her nasty brother to again exterminate her pretty plants. 
Apollo chuckled at her childlike innocence, how sweet this little flower was. All smiles and laughter and in love with all things beautiful, Apollo adored this little creature fiercely.


Tenderly he wound her long hair around on of his fingers, his stunning golden eyes boring into hers.


"Tomorrow we will be joined in...other ways," he smirked slyly,"I thought perhaps I would speak to you privately before we wed at dawn."

 

[BlackSparrow]

Artemis was out in the deepest parts of the forest. The old trees towering over everything. She was crouched, staling her prey a few hundred yards away. Tomorrow was her brother's wedding, something she looked forward to attending.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Hades chuckled. "Don't worry sister, I'm not here to destroy your garden." He said to her, turning away. "I was just merely bored. I arrived a day early since one of my messengers relayed the wrong message." He informed her. "Farewell sister, give our brothers my regards." He said, leaving Demeter's garden.

 

[Valjean24601]

"Farewell."


And don't come back!


Demeter mumbled coldly as her brother left her alone as her daughter had in the haven of her lovely gardens.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Persephone blushed slightly seeing his smirk "And of what did you want to speak to me?" She asked curiously meeting his gaze with a smile. Her hand came up and playfully stroked his jawline.

 

[Valjean24601]

"Are you nervous? For the wedding?"


He asked carefully, not wanting to offend his little flower somehow or upset her.


It was difficult for him to admit but, he in fact was nervous for his wedding tomorrow and what it would mean for his lifestyle. No longer would he be a bachelor, not able to come and go to the many elaborate parties he enjoyed so much.


His arm slid beneath her back and lifted her closer to him, his lips tantalizingly close to hers.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Hades grinned as he saw the betrothed couple, Persephone and Apollo, in the garden and in each other's arms. Oh how perfect they are for each other, the goddess of flowers and the god of the sun. But of course, everything perfect comes to an end. Hades eyed Persephone and, he himself could not deny that she is truly beautiful. Maybe it was his imagination, but he felt different, as if everything is good and nothing bad will happen. He shook his head, trying to clear his mind. A plan formed in his mind, a plan to cause chaos and turmoil. "If it isn't the lovers." Hades said as he approached them, interrupting their kiss.

 

[Valjean24601]

Apollo frowned and cocked his head to the side to see the last person he would've wanted to see at a time like this and especially a mesre twelve hours before his wedding was to take place. He kept Persephone close to him though and drew his hand away from her soft hair and rested it on his quiver, which didn't look so threatening anymore with persephone's little flowers blossoming from it.


"Uncle, whatever brings you to Olympus so early?"


A rage bubbled beneath his skin, his father had promise the old god wod not disrupt his wedding plans and now look what had happened.


Hades had done exactly that.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Hades once again chuckled, seeing Apollo pull Persephone close to him. It was obvious that Apollo didn't welcome his presence, which made it all the more exciting for Hades. "Ah, that. Well, the messenger that informed me, Hermes of course, messed up and caused me to arrive a day early. But let's not talk about me, how are you my niece?" He asked her, smiling at Persephone.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Persephone had frozen stiff at the spine chilling voice that had spoken. She had never heard that voice before yet Apollo apparently had. This confused her, she thought she knew of all the Gods, but moving to see the man who seemingly appeared from no where, she was clearly wrong.


Uncle? She thought too confused and frightened by this man to think of how someone like him could possibly be related to her.


"I-I am fine..." Was all she managed to say, her frail voice shaking like an autumn leaf in a brisk wind. Fearful of this stranger she sat up clinging to Apollo's arm, not wanted to being so vulnerable in front of a man who emanated with death.

 

[Valjean24601]

Apollo's hand rested on her slender hip and pulled her closer still, turning his head to her and whispering sweetly to his betrothed in his most soothing and near liquated murmering, each word like molten music pouring from his upturned lips as am easy smile graced them.


"All is well, little flower."


He assured her, though he could not promise her that much.

 

[EvelienLocalArtist]

Persephone nodded staring up at this stranger. She was glad for Apollo being here with her but his words held no true comfort to help hide away her fear. "W-Who are you?" She asked this man with curious worry.
