Myth and Truth (mythology and OCs) - Take mythology and rewrite it here as your choice of god/goddess

Hello, and welcome to Myth and Truth. Here, we may dare to take the paths of the old gods and intertwine them to make a new story-line of the divine. It is also here where you can become the ultimate muse: a god or goddess.

The overcast of twilight graced the ebony palace, letting it's pale stretches touch the surrounding rooftops and the walls that sectioned the kingdom. Nyx stood on the balcony of her bedroom, overlooking her soldier's training grounds. A small breeze stirred the fabric of her black gown,a nd she tugged her violet cape tighter round her. One of her Elite, a female shade by the name of Faun, brought out a tray of tea and poured the goddess a cup. "Good morning, My Queen." she trilled. Nyx took the cup and sipped. "Morning." she said. "There's a message from Zeus, My Queen." Faun tilted her head to the tray. There was a white envelope sealed with a golden wax stamp. "From Father, hm?" Nyx said as she opened the parchment up. "Faun, I leave the throne in The Elite's care. My father Zeus has requested my audience." she told the shade. "Yes, My Queen." Faun clicked. With a swirling of darkness speckled with stars, Nyx warped away from her home and journeyed across the outer reaches of the universe to Mount Olympus.

The Watcher sat up and yawned. He put his feet to the edge of the bed and got up as the sun shone through the curtains of his condo in downtown Manhattan near Time Square. He made his way to the shower, undressed and turned it on. He let the warm water wash over him as he stood there, slowly waking up for a half hour. He turned the water off and dressed himself in a light shirt with a long sleeve overshirt. He wore slacks that seemed more casual than business as he made his way outside. Picking up the paper as he does so, making his way to the local Charlie Bean. He enjoyed it more than Starbucks. He ordered a mocha, extra cream with vanilla. He sat down at a table and started reading through the paper, he quickly found himself skipping most of The New York Times and instead reading the funnies. He hummed the theme to Tom's Diner to himself as he read. He really could relate. He looked up from his paper and saw people going about their days. It always amused him a little.

"Please i will do anything" the man trembles at Isis' feet. "People often say they will do anything for love... but is that really true?" the queen takes a seat at her throne. her servants gathering around her fanning her with ferns, keeping her cool from the hot Egyptian air. "Your godliness i have come all the way here for a spell for her to fall in love with me, isnt that enough? to prove my love?" the man stood up looking into the goddess's deep blue eyes. "fine" she says standing up again walking over to him her big red lips in a straight line. "Zoldin!" she calls from over her shoulder the palace almost shaking. the older looking troll runs up behind her "yes mistress?" his voice a high pitch his clothes ratty. "go fetch me my love potion box... i have to help this poor young man get the love of his life to love him" her voice a fake sympathetic tone. the troll nodding and running as fast as his ever so large feet could carry him. he came back with a box. of gold with every jewel on it with hieroglyphics on it. "have her drink this... by the third day she will be in your arms.. now leave my presence." the man quickly nodded excitement in his eyes.

Zeus stands on the cobblestone floor of the grand hall surrounded by the empty thrones of the Olympians staring out over the valley eager to see his daughter, Nyx, whom has been distant for years. he looks up to the ceiling to see a mural of the day they defeated the titans and took power and thinking how much was lost for that one important victory. "I hope she arrives soon" he says to himself as he walks over and sits on his throne and pets his golden eagle, Alpha, who has been his only true companion after the loss of his first wife Metis.

Hoenir cracked his back, using the force of one of his hands to do so. His bones stiff from the hotel chair. Why he had fallen asleep there was a mystery to him, but he ignored the discomfort of his joints as he slipped his coat over his large shoulders. The morning light of the sun warms his skin. Hoenir runs his eyes over the quiet Nevada hotel. A sigh of contentment leaves his lips as he begins to walk the road again.

 

[LoveThyDemons]

The white halls of Olympus dimmed as tendrils of darkness entered the throne room. They all collected in the middle of the floor, and shot skyward. Nyx stood where their ends dissipated. She dipped her head. "Hello, Father. It certainly has been a while since my last visit to Olympus." she said gently to the king of white hair and broad stature. She thought of how frail she looked alongside him, but she contained just as much might and power as he. We look nothing alike... she thought. Other gods never let her forget she was...adopted. Or rather, that her mother gave her to Zeus with no problem, without a single farewell. Nyx of course never remembered this, but how could she forget when so many always reminded her.

Crowds. Aesa had always done her best to stay as far away from a crowd as possible. So how was it she'd found way to Time Square? A metropolis. Brimming with people who were just waiting to be influenced- to have their rage, their envy, their greed pulled to the surface. And all she had to do was brush past them. The nicer emotions were harder for her to pull to the surface- against her nature as it were.


It was, perhaps, one of the reasons she stood with her back pressed against the window of the small store, her hands splayed against the cool glass as if it would help to somehow calm her racing heart. She was dressed in a pair of old, fraying jeans and a black hoodie, the hood pulled up and over her black hair to obscure her eyes. Anything to get people to shy away. She didn't wear her customary scowl, though. Instead she stared around her in a panic. She really couldn't remember how she'd gotten there. Her mind was absolutely blank and she couldn't find a gap in the crowd large enough to dash through.

 

[RelaxImTheKing]

Zeus looked down at Nyx and scowled. "You are always welcome here...I never understand why you stay so far away," he said as his expression softened and he got up and approached his favorite daughter. "But nevertheless welcome"

 

[Castellan]

Hoenir kept his pace on the old highway. It wasn't much of a pace, each foot in front of the other, trapped in thought, as he listened to his shoes dig into the floor of the Earth. Without thinking about it, Hoenir would kick up dist, watch it until it was out of sight with a childlike fascination and repeat the action, never stopping in his route. He glances up from his newest small tornado of dust, as something appears in his peripheral vision. A sign with the words, "Welcome to Arizona: The Grand Canyon State," stood tall in front of him. He brushes his fingers along the white lettering, tilting his head slightly at the scratches and markings marring its surface. The world of humans was strange. Why anyone would need something like this, or label an oddly shaped stretch of land was beyond Hoenir. His fingertip glides over a semi-large scar on the sign, bringing a smile to his lips. The strange nature of it all made it so beautiful.

 

[Airagog]

The Watcher looked out the window. He saw an oddly clad woman. He sighed. Young gods. They always were a hassel. They never changed in the end. He got up sighing as he appeared behind the woman putting a hand on her shoulder. "I wish you had told me you would be visiting, child. I would have bought you coffee."

 

[BrokenStrings]

So intent on the crowd was she, that she didn't notice the man as he approached. When his hand found her shoulder, an uncontrolled wave of fear and surprise coursed through her. It was so intense that every mortal within five hundred feet was overcome by it. She watched as, in an instant, man, woman, and child paused and clutched at hands, hearts, purses. She watched as their eyes grew wide and then dark with suspicion.


Aesa wanted to weep for it, but instead she turned, pulling her shoulder away from the stranger. God or not, she did not know his face. She ought to have, perhaps, but she had been alone and hidden from her fellows for such a long time that she's forgotten even the sense of them. Stammering, she managed to speak.


"I did not.. I don't. I didn't know I would be here." It was the only thing she could think to say and it sounded inadequate to her own ears.

 

[Airagog]

The watcher looked around him at the people who looked bewildered at best. "Let's try that again."He said as they found themselves a few moments before, exactly when she got scared, only she was now aware of his presence and therefore would be very unlikely that she would repeat the same mistake as he only decided to transfer her conscience. "Let's give that another go. This time without you causing a panic, hm?" He said as he took a sip from his Mocha. He was dressed like every other normal human and looked in his late 20s. "Mind having coffee with me?" He said motioning to Charlie Bean

 

[BrokenStrings]

On the verge of risking a mass panic just to get away from the stranger, Aesa had been second away from darting through the crowd. Seconds away before she suddenly found herself... she wasn't sure what had happened. The crowd that had seconds before been on the verge of a panic was suddenly- not. She blinked and her confusion almost overwhelmed her. She managed, just barely, to reign it in, though perhaps one or two of the mortals closest were suddenly confused for no reason.


Blinking, she looked at the Watcher with nothing short of awe. She had never been very good at controlling her emotions. In fact, she was down right horrible at it. Thus all the running and hiding and secluding. It took her so long to reply that she wouldn't have been surprised if he thought she'd gone mute. Finally, silently, she just nodded.

 

[LoveThyDemons]

Nyx finally broke into a smile. The warmth she always got from her father reminded her that she had a home away from home. That kind of feeling is wondrous, and Nyx relished the feeling. "If only the others were as welcoming as you." she said, stepping toward him and hugging him.

 

[RelaxImTheKing]

Zeus smiles as he hugs his daughter remembering how she was when she was a child...remembering how much of a real family they were. "You have not changed one bit." he says as he leads her to the other room where a table is set up with cards and tea. "Care for some tea? It is from china."

 

[LoveThyDemons]

"That sounds wonderful. Thank you." Nyx nodded to her father as she took a seat. She took off the ring that contained her scythe and set it on the table. "I've always enjoyed having tea with you. Remember my first cup?" she asked, then laughed. "You warned me it was hot but I didn't listen." A shapeless dark mass flew in and rest itself on her lap; a stray, simple formed shade. She gently stroked it, and it purred.

 

[RelaxImTheKing]

"Metis had to hold you for two hours before you stopped crying." Zeus laughed as he poured two cups and picked up the cards and shuffled them. "What would you like to play?"

 

[Airagog]

The Watcher took he gently by the hand like a parent would a small child and led her to the coffee shop. "A decaff espresso please, Brazilian style. With Peruvian Cream please. Yes add it to my tab." The Watcher winked at the young woman behind the counter. He had been there every day. The workers all knew that he was a special customer, though weren't quite sure why. All they knew is that his debit card never ran dry. He sat down as the espresso was delivered, "So Freya, what brings you to the Big Apple? " He said taking a sip of his own Mocha.

 

[LoveThyDemons]

"Sure." she smiled, then blew on the surface of the tea, chasing the steam away with her breath. She took a sip, then set it down. The shade poked it's head above the table and it lapped up some of the tea. Nyx smiled as it nestled back onto her lap and resumed it's purring. "What shall we play? War? Or your preferred game of Texas Hold 'Em?" she joked.

 

[RelaxImTheKing]

"I have learned not to gamble with you, dear. how about go fish...Poseidon's favorite." He sips some tea and deals the cards. "Anything new going on in your life?"

 

[BrokenStrings]

She let her hand be taken, and all of her confusion, fear, and distrust was easily transferable through that touch. Her power was always strongest with physical touch, though very few gods were susceptible. The Watcher, old and strong as even Aesa could feel, was most certainly too powerful to feel the effects. As he lead her into the cafe, Aesa had to make a concerted effort to make sure that she touched no one.


She had never heard of an espresso before. Or Peruvian cream, though she had been in Peru once, for a while. Led to her seat, she folded into the chair stiffly, sitting on the very edge of the chair and peering out from under the hood of her sweatshirt.


"I'm.. Freyja's my mother. I'm Aesa. I don't... want to be here." Quite the conversationalist, wasn't she? It had been a long time since she'd had a real conversation with anyone and her skills were rusty to say the least. "Who are you?"

 

[LoveThyDemons]

Nyx again smiled. "Go fish it is then." she said, then took another sip. "No, nothing new. Same things. Crime in Ira is low, the incoming produce and livestock are constant. Every other week another baby is born within the community. My soldiers are ever ready for a possible attack from the Abyss or a new beast of Chaos." she said as Zeus shuffled the cards.

 

[RelaxImTheKing]

"I am glad to here that," Zeus said as he picked up his cards and looks at Nyx. Every single time he looked at her he only saw the memory of his first wife who helped him raise her. He knew that if she were still here she would be nothing more than proud of their little girl. "The other gods are keeping away from here for some reason..."

 

[LoveThyDemons]

"Eh, they probably sense that I am here." Nyx shrugged. She picked up her cards, and took out two three's from the hand. The shade from her lap extended an appendage up to bat at a long lock of the goddess' auburn hair. "I also sent some shades to just fly around. Just enough that if anyone should see them, it would only be in their peripheral vision." she gave her father a mischievous grin. "Just for fun; they'll leave in a few minutes.
