[9/05/19,3rd POV] "Alright" Raylee cleared her throat, "Lightning, Mark, Warty, Denny, Lutia, Dan, Gerald, Myesha, & Shane. We ... I mean you guys will be learning about the deities. First up the king, Suez, you see the sky and Mother Earth had twelve children. The youngest, Cronus, killed his father for banishing some of his other siblings. After he married his sister, they had children. Cronus ate his children due to a prophesy. Until his wife, Rhea, who hid Suez. He grew up to defeat his father with help from all his brothers. Really long story kinda short, they drew straws & Suez won the heavens. Now you will replicate the battle against Cronus by fighting some cyclops. Good luck."
Thus Lightning & Dan were put against a cyclops.
"Diana told me I'd be paid if I battles you guys to replicate Suez v. Cronus." He said.
Lightning started off with Else-Slash which would of comboed but alas the cyclops didn't get launched. Mark used ground pound, Warty hog drill, Denny water spray, & Lutia followed up w/ ice knife. Dan landed an uppercut, Gerald neck whack, Myesha tail whip, and Shane did the same. The cyclops ram through the heroes & used a Syth like Cronus.
[9/6/19] The cyclops proved to be quite a tough opponent but after max turns had been reached the heroes won.
"You heroes are strong. For that I will reward you with plenty of useful things." He said. He gave us things that would help on their learning.
"Well done. Now the next, Hera, Queen of the deities. She is the youngest of her sisters. The order from oldest to youngest is Vesta, Thesmophores, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, & Suez. She is the deity of marriage and so she gets upset when Suez is unfaithful like when Beth was born. Anyway, now all you do is find some of her sacred animals and reunited them. Adieu." Raylee explained.
This the heroes looked around, all around finding Hera's sacred animals and uniting them with each other. It was a simple task really. They finished it quite easily.
"Pas mal. Not bad. Next up the ruler of the sea, Poseidon. You guys will go underwater and journey to his underwater palace to learn more. Here have some oxygen tanks." Raylee said. They were then teleported underwater. They began swimming towards the palace.
[9/7/19] Underwater the heroes swam and battled some of Poseidon's servants and soon reaching Poseidon himself.
"Congrats on making it here. Now for reference my wife is Amphitrite. I like many other make deities have many lovers." Poseidon said.
He had double HP bars as he was riding a horse. Amphitrite was just a normal fighter. The battle proved to be difficult. Similar to the cyclope the heroes won after max turns had been reached.
"Well done, mortals. Hardly anyone can do what you've done. As a reward I'll give you some status in Atlantis. Farewell, mortals."
"Toutes non félicitations. I'll see you tomorrow. Next up Thesmophoros, deity of harvest and agriculture. Good night." Raylee stated.
Thus the heroes slept at the UAKD Headquarters. In the morning they had a quiet breakfast. It was so that their minds could focus on the tasks that are upcoming. Afterward Raylee guided them to the portal that led to a farm.
"Here you will do farm things." She said. They did it to the best of their abilities. Harvesting and working on the farm.
[9/8/19, 1st POV] We worked hard all day, not really. Well the while day part not worked hard part. Once we finished Raylee said, "Up next the deity Azsetal. She is the daughter of Suez and the Oceanid Meris. She is the deity of wisdom and warfare. She has many great stories. You guys will answer some questions to prove your wisdom."
Thus we were presented with 10 questions. Six of which dealt with battle strategies while the other four were about my previous adventure. They weren't easy or difficult.
After that Raylee told us about Apollo. He is the deity of light, prophecy, and much more. He's the son of Suez & Leto, and twin brother of Artemis. Our challenge was to battle him.
"So, if you win, I'll give you a prophecy. If you lose, I'll offer you a rematch at no cost. Now enough talk." Apollo said.
This deity welded a bow and arrow, had a "lyre", and fought alongside a swan & a mouse. His allies were no problem but Apollo himself, unlike the cyclops or Poseidon he didn't hold mind going hard on mere mortals like us.
[9/12/19, 1st POV] Our battle continued to rage on until OUTCOME! The max turn limit had been reached; we had lost.
"I'll stand by my previous statement. I'll offer you guys a free rematch (Time to prove my prophecy)" he smiled warmly.
Thus, we were launched into a second battle. It mostly played out like before until Apollo launched a bronze arrow towards Mark. He screamed loudly and began to shout and glow bronze. Mark rushed Apollo and shouted as he landed a punch. The battle ended.
"As always my prophecy came true. I'll explain it. Basically, Magical Bear has something called The Mythical Bears. You'll learn more about them later. My prophecy now is you'll fight Xander and Aimée again. I'm never wrong. Say hi to my twin sister, Artemis, deity of moon, hunt, and virginity.
We said hello for Apollo.
*So you guys best Apollo. You may as well consider me as just another opponent. Oh and met my huntresses. Now we battle." She said.
[9/13/19] The battle against Artemis and her huntresses was no grand thing. I kept thinking back to what Apollo did and about the "Three Mythical Bears" he mentioned. Also, about Xander & Aimée. After the battle Lightning told me not to worry about that part because normally a prophecy is complicated and takes years to come true.
Night passed and morning came. We battle some warriors to symbolize Mars, deity of war, violence, and bloodshed. (None of that happened during our battle) No big deal. Next was Aphrodite, deity of love, beauty, desire among other things. She said she was born either daughter of Suez or daughter the sky & then something about finding true love.
The eleventh deity was Hermne, the son of Suez and the nymph Maia. He is the deity of so many things, really. Our job was to battle some robbers and deliver a message. Hermne is also the messenger of the deities and he guide of the dead to the underworld.
So basically, today was nothing worth telling happened. So once again night passed & morning came. Diana told us we were doing great and that only four more remained to be learned about.
[9/14/19, 3rd POV] The twelfth deity, Vesta, oldest of the deities. She is the deity of berth & family. All the heroes did was fine some coals and have a conversation of family. There Magical Bear truly realised his parents were dead.
Next up was Dioniso, however he punished by his father Suez to help out at a camp for Half-Bloods. The quest was to just explore & collect 5 grapes vines.
Fourteenth was Hades, deity of the underworld, oldest male deity, and one of the big three. Since they can't cross into the underworld all the heroes did was fight of the fates, also known as Moirai.
Truth be told there are only twelve Olympians. Vestía was originally 12th but she gave her spot to Dioniso. Hades isn't an Olympian. The last deity the heroes, who are now known as The Magicals, were going to learn about Beth.
"Beth is the daughter of Suez and the titan Sappho. She is a minor deity like Eos, Nemesis, Ate, & Pan. Beth is the deity of raptors, a type of bird.
[9/15/19] "Hello, I hear you guys now go by 'the Magicals'. Let's enter the heat of battle." Beth said as she turned into a peregrine falcon.
The battle was longer than expected. It lasted to the final round. Lightning used Else-Slash which combed into both Magical Bear and Warty using fire & then Denny shooting out water. Beth had lost.
"You, all of you are really tough. I know you'll only continue. Say hello to my daughter for me." She left.
"Now what?" Asked Myesha.
"How about we visit Atlantis. Poseidon mentioned it." Dan commented.
"Yeah, let's go." Lightning said.
The next day Denny led them to where he heard Atlantis was and it was correct. When they arrived, they were in awe. For a city supposed destroyed it looked better than most cities on land. A half-human half-fish swam up to them.
"Are you Dan and Lightning?" He asked.
"We are." Lightning responded.
"Great, we've been expected you. We wanted to give you that reward Poseidon said you'd receive."
