What sort of an existence were gods?
Since ancient forerunners reverently bowed towards the lightning in the skies and the great surging rivers, the concept of gods slowly appeared in the human mind.
They were thunder, mountains, fire, water, even the most powerful magical creatures of the wilderness or unstoppable avalanches.
They were profound forces human could never control, and all that they would never understand.
Gods, in old days of yonder, symbolized the venerable unknown that one should be cautious of—at least, during ancient times.
Since when had that changed? It was when humans no longer saw them as the greatest protectors and destroyers, but an achievable target. The precursors of certain paths would hence view them as respected leaders, seniors, and not some untouchable heavenly deity.
That was probably the moment when humans develop curiosity and obtained their own power.
