As the three gods bicker Tom tries to keep the conversation from derailing further so he speaks up. "Ok I 'THINK' I know who Cab and Sunny are but I'm sorry to say I have never heard of you Mrs Hotten could you give me a few hints?" Before She could say anything 'Sunny' started laughing.
"Hahaha so much for people still chanting your name 'Hotten' at least he knows of my glory, Tom I believe I may have been a little too harsh on you earlier." "umm thanks? Sorry 'Sunny' I only know about you and Cab because I play a video game called SMITE.. I used to main your character as a support before I started running Jung..."
...
Complete silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "Umm all powerful Gods? What's wrong? why did everyone get quiet?" Cabs pillar breaks into an uncountable number of lights that resemble bee's now that Tom knows who he is. As the specks get closer to him an intense buzzing noise could be heard from all around before they solidify into the outline of a glowing yellow man with no defining features standing beside Tom.
"I understood the first half of what you just said but what do you mean by everything after 'Video game'???" Before Tom could start explaining, Sunny's Pillar shattered into pieces and formed into a man Similar to Cab only Solid white. "Yes explain to me what you meant by 'Maining' me as support".
"Oh man this is going to be tough..." While Tom scratches his chin he feels a hand touch his shoulder and turns around to see the outline of a very curvaceous Green woman standing behind him. "You really don't know who I am?" Hotten sounds slightly distressed.
"I'm sorry Hotten I didn't study Polytheism or mythology, and like I said the only reason I know about these two is because of a game.." Hotten hangs her head in defeat while mumbling "I can't believe these two are more renowned than me".
Sensing that her feelings may be hurt Tom starts waving his hands in front of him "Hey hey hey cheer up they are constantly adding more gods and pantheon's they could be saving you for a later release to add to the storyline. You guys said Africa earlier right? they're adding the the Yoruba pantheon pretty soon so you might get added in a month or two.."
After hearing Tom try to make her feel better Hotten seems to get upset before yelling. "That's the West African Orishas!! I am the God of the Khoi!" Tom ducks behind Sunny before apologizing "I'm sorry I didn't know, really please stop yelling I'll put a petition for you to get added I swear." Sunny moves away from Tom quickly while saying. "You realize you just swore to a God.. I hope you plan on following through because she can be quite.. tricky".
As Sunny warned Tom, Cab spoke up "So do you plan on explaining this game called 'SMITE' I'm Buzzing with excitement!." "Uh sure Cab just let me think of a good way to explain it."
A few moments of silence and Hotten speaks up still sulking "You could always just show us projections of the game.." Tom turns around to look at Hotten again. "how do I do that?". Hotten just slumps her shoulders before grumbling "Have humans forgotten everything we taught them? If I knew that a couple centuries with out us ruling over them was all it would take to make them into idiots I wouldn't have bothered in the first place..."
As Hotten began explaining the long and complicated process of how to project thought in this plane sunny interrupts. "There's no reason to clutter this place with your thoughts, we can just view them with your consent by contact." After speaking he placed a hand on Tom's shoulder. "Now quickly show me how glorious I am in combat."
"You guys wanna see too? I watched a few videos of other players so I can basically show you each of the gods and the play styles that most people run with the different builds."
Even though the figures have no facial features Tom could see confusion painted across their faces. "You know what, how about everyone just watch, I'll show you everything I know and I'll take questions at the end of the presentation.."
At first the four of them just stood there with the three gods surrounding Tom, he felt awkward because he didn't quite get what he was supposed to do. Cab sensing the situation speaks up "Just think about the game and we will do the rest Tom, this isn't ritual magic".
Tom begins thinking about a few of his better games then suddenly... BANG!! a bright light descended unto the dark plane and he was in the Mayan jungles of the siege map, exotic bird calls and strange monkeys whooping in the distant jungle.
"I'm Home!! hahaha I missed this so much! Thank you Tom" Before Tom could get his bearings, Cab starts shaking him shouting in excitement. After a moment of looking around Tom speaks up. "Hmm I thought we were going to be watching from a screen, not actually in the game."
Hotten and sunny release Tom and begin walking around as Cab keeps celebrating. shortly the 'creeps' spawn and begin fighting. "Hmm this place is quite odd, why are these strange little creatures fighting in the middle of the jungle?" Hotten asks aloud as they watch the little guys kill each other.
"It's only natural, humans have always killed each other for little reason that's how they are built.." Sunny gives a small commentary from behind before he grows quiet. "What happened Sunny usually you never shut.." Hotten turned around to get a jab at Sunny before growing quiet herself.
A beautiful woman with Raven black hair and a strange glowing purple spear appears running down the dirt path. The woman was trailed by a large scarab, and a woman with deathly pale skin carrying two small scythes.
From the opposite side a large white knight with a sky blue shield flies down the lane.. Literally he was floating just above the ground with lightning arcing beneath his feet, behind this strange knight a three headed monster of a hound with a snake for a tail skulks into sight.
After watching the five gods battle for a few moments Sunny began to shake with excitement. After the scarab managed to get first blood of the match he could no longer hold it. "I AM MAGNIFICENT!!!" Sunny roars upon watching the large scarab in combat. "How did you humans capture my dominance so well? Look at that shell Hotten, That is truly the most radiant shine I have ever seen, see my beautiful jewelled eyes? DID YOU SEE THAT!!! I rolled the sun across that pathetic mongrel!"
"Can you be any more arrogant Sunny? You do realize that that's not actually you right? I believe that Tom is showing you a memory of him controlling that bug.." Hotten says trying to rain on Sunny's parade. "You're just jealous that the mortals haven't added you to the list of comba..."
Bam!! Sunny was goading Hotten when suddenly a giant spike lands right on top of the sacred scarab before a swarm of bees and a well timed lightning bolt finish it off. "NOOO!!! What happened? THOMAS!!!" Suddenly a half man half wasp like being floats into sight from the brush...
