a few weeks later.
A new cult had become popular within the country of Greece.
The rise of this new cult had caused quite a commotion to the Greek gods it had become quite a topic for them on olympus the cult had only been around for a few weeks but it had alrighty gotten so popular.
(Back to the present)
Somewhere at the outskirts of Greece a group of people were celebrating with a feast alongside music and dancing around a fire that had a gigantic boar being roasted above it along side a tall golden haired god with a staff right his by his side was sitting on tree branch seemingly relaxing.
The golden haired god looked slowly at his loyal followers seemingly proud and happy at the same time then shifted his gaze on to a women and man along with a little girl playing music with other followers, while thinking back to how it all started.
A few weeks ago.
On the streets of Greece you could see Darius and the couple he helped alongside their child.
Kratos and Arian along side a little girl Octavia were walking on the streets of Greece going through various slums and houses offering people to join while healing the injured and feeding the hungry along side the streets of Greece.
Darius found it Amusing and pitiful how humans can be so pitiful while also being amazing,horrible or fragile. He looked at the slums finding a variety of people from young to old sick,hungry or injured.
After being healed or being fed by Darius they were very grateful and full heartedly accepted as they were offered a healthy life along with food and a place to belong in as long as they become his followers.
Day from day. A few more people would join Darius cult they would travel around playing music and healing the sick and injured alongside donating food everywhere they go.
Going around Greece eating drinking and playing music while healing and saving the hungry everywhere. The cult had slowly grew and grew until it had grown into a rather big cult. People from musicians dancers to slaves the hungry or the poor joined his cult. He had taught them archery and staff related skills along side Farming and hunting food.
During this period Darius tried to learn Music from his followers from instruments ranging from Lyres Flutes or the cithara. He grew to love music especially the cithara and lyre.
He had planned to specifically request Hephaestus to create an instrument for him in a few weeks or days when he returns to Olympus.
During this night Darius and his followers were celebrating the success of their hunt in hunting a giant boar which would be the meat they would feast on tonight alongside fruits and vegetables they had farmed under Darius's guidance.
Darius watched as they celebrated their hunt when suddenly he heard a girls voice below him, to a see a Octavia holding a plate with some fruit and meat on top seeing the little girl offering Darius went of the tree brunch and patted the little girls head and ate the meat and fruit even though he does not need to eat. Darius would accept offerings from his followers every now and then as they were his followers they would mostly offer him food which he would gladly accept.
When everyone was eating a certain follower had said out loud "Tonight we celebrate our hunt but we also dedicate this feast to our god Darius" with that many had cheered from the group of followers while Darius smiled in satisfaction.
Seeing his followers happy Darius went towards the musicians and borrowed one of their instrument as he decided to play a song after seeing his loyal followers dedicate themselves to him. so dearly.
As soon as Darius started playing a soothing but a happy atmosphere like honey alongside a meadow had played wonderfully around their camp in which caused some tears of joy and cheers among the followers and continued feasting while Darius blissfully played music which had made the feast much more delightful the trees swayed slightly as if sobbing just as a part of the crowd were sobbing tears of joy.
The music was heard by few even when far away with that the popularity of the Cult had gone up reaching the likes of the cults of Demeter or Apollo and Artemis.
As to not disrespect his fellows gods Darius had made his followers send offerings to Artemis the god of the hunt alongside other gods, During this period Darius had gotten to know of the other Greek gods from his followers.
His cult was also quite popular with the satyrs as they are beings close to nature and Darius is a god that seemingly oozes nature.
During this feast a few gods had gotten offerings and had good will towards the new cult that worships Darius.
