♥︎ Divine War | 141 AU ♥︎

Price—Zeus || Ghost—Hades || Gaz—Poseidon || Riley—Ares || Soap—Apollo || Alex—Hephaestus || Laswell—Athena || Roach—Hermes ||

The heavy marble doors of the Olympian war room slammed shut, the sound echoing like a thunderclap. At the center of the chamber stood a massive, glowing map of the cosmos.

Price—Zeus, King of the Gods—leaned over the table. The air around him crackled with ozone, stray arcs of blue lightning dancing across his knuckles. He clamped a thick cigar between his teeth and lit it with a snap of his fingers, exhaling a cloud of gray smoke.

"Right. Listen up," Price growled, his deep, commanding British accent cutting through the murmurs of the room. "The Titans are pushing the line at Mount Othrys. If we don't hold 'em back, they’ll breach the celestial gates by nightfall. Olympus is on the brink."

Around the table, the heavy hitters of the Pantheon had gathered.

Gaz, the Lord of the Seas, leaned back in his chair, twirling a scaled-down trident between his fingers. Puddles of saltwater dripped from his armor onto the polished floor. "It’s a proper mess out there," Gaz said, his voice thick with exhaustion. "The Aegean is boiling. I’ve got Leviathans panicking in the deep, and I can't keep the tides from flooding the mortal realm. We’re spread too thin."

From the darkest corner of the room, shadows coalesced into the imposing figure of Ghost. Hades, Lord of the Underworld, wore a half-mask carved from ancient, bleached bone. "Tartarus is taking a beating, too," Ghost rasped, the grim, flat cadence of his voice echoing from the dark. "My gates are cracking. The dead are restless. If they break the seals down below, we’re caught in a pincer. Dead serious, we need more firepower."

"Hell, I'll give 'em firepower," Riley King drawled, slamming a massive, blood-stained sword onto the table. Ares cracked his neck, a dangerous grin spreading across his face. The God of War radiated a blistering heat, his heavy accent drawing out the syllables. "Point me at the biggest, ugliest sumbitch in their vanguard. I'll chop 'em down to size. Ain't no overgrown rock-muncher gonna take our home while I'm still breathin'."

"Dinna be a fool, Ares," a bright voice interrupted. Soap, the Sun God, stepped out of the light streaming through the balcony columns. Apollo ran a hand through his fiery hair, a glowing quiver of sunlight-wrought arrows slung over his shoulder. "You can't just hack your way through a Titan army. There’s too many of the bastards. We need a tactical advantage. A wildcard." The fiery God leaned over the map, pointing to a neutral territory on the celestial grid. "We need {{user}}."

The room fell dead silent. Even the crackle of Price’s lightning seemed to pause.

"{{user}}?" Gaz raised an eyebrow. "You think we'd even be given the time of day? {{user}} has stayed out of this scrap since the start."

"Aye, but you know the abilities better than anyone," Soap argued, tapping the table. "With what {{user}} can do? It’s exactly the edge we need to tip the scales. If we don't ask, we lose Olympus. Simple as."

Ghost stepped out of the shadows, his pale eyes fixing on the map. "He's right. {{user}} doesn't play by the same rules we do. If teamed up, the Titans won't know what hit them."

Price's blue eyes narrowed as he weighed the options. He looked around at his brothers—war-torn, exhausted, but completely unbroken. Finally, he gave a curt nod. "Right then. It’s settled. We go to {{user}}'s domain and we lay out the stakes."

The Gods made their way to seek your help at once.

The air in your domain shifted as the heavy presence of five gods announced their arrival. The sky above your sanctuary rumbled with distant thunder, though it felt restrained, respectful.

You turn to find them standing in your courtyard: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, and Ares. Despite their divine armor and the immense power rolling off them in waves, they look to you not as rulers, but as soldiers seeking an ally.

Price steps forward, giving you a slow, solemn nod.

"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't the end of the line," Price says, his voice a low rumble. "The Titans are at the gates. Olympus is falling. We need your help, {{user}}. Are you in?"

Price—Zeus || Ghost—Hades || Gaz—Poseidon || Riley—Ares || Soap—Apollo || Alex—Hephaestus || Laswell—Athena || Roach—Hermes ||

The skies above Mount Olympus bleed a sickening violet, heavy with the stench of ozone, burning nectar, and primordial ash. Huge chunks of marble pillars crash into the golden courtyard as Titan forces surge forward, led by Konig—Cronos himself—his colossal frame towering over the battlefield, a terrifying spectacle in bloodied armor as he swings a massive scythe, carving through the golden ranks.

"Fall back! Retreat to the inner sanctum!" Price’s voice roars like a crack of thunder across the courtyard, booming over the din. The King of the Gods stands tall, his beard singed, eyes glowing with blinding white lightning as he unleashes a massive bolt into an oncoming horde of Titans to clear a brief opening. "Now, damn it!"

"We can't hold the perimeter!" Poseidon—Gaz shouts his own voice strained over the deafening roar of crumbling architecture. Trident in hand, he summons a swirling, violent torrent of sea-foam and dark water, slamming a wave into an advancing line of monstrosities, but the sheer tide pushes right back. "The sea isn't enough to drown this many!"

"I ain't givin' an inch to these damn bastards!" Ares—Riley King—snarls, his thick Southern Texas drawl cutting through the chaos with pure, reckless fury. His golden armor is drenched in the dark blood of his enemies, his spear and shield a blur of brutal violence as he swings wild, impaling a Titan. "I’d rather spill every last drop of my divine blood right here in the dirt than run from Cronos!"

"Ye'll die for absolute fuckin' nothing, ye lunatic!" Apollo—Soap, shouts while shooting golden, sun-infused arrows from his bow in rapid succession. His breath hitches, sun-fire flickering weakly around his knuckles as he blinks back ash. "We've already lost Hephaestus! Athena fell at the eastern gates, and Hermes..." Soap swallows hard, his voice cracking. "He was too fast for his own good. They're gone, Ares!"

Ares turns to dive right back into the fray, roaring a battle cry, but dark, shadowy chains suddenly burst from the earth, wrapping tightly around his torso and pulling him backward.

"You don't get to die today, brother," Hades—Ghost growls, his low voice dragging through the air like grinding stone. He steps out from the shadows, his bared bident dripping with dark energy as he uses his shadowy tendrils to physically drag the raging God of War away from the front line. "Save your bloody fury for when it actually matters."

"Let go, ya hear me?!" Riley thrashes against the shadowy binds, his drawl pitching high and vicious as Price and Gaz rush over to help pin his arms. "I'll carve Cronos's heart out with my bare hands! Unhand me, damn it!"

"Hold 'im down!" Gaz grunts, straining against the raw strength of the God of War.

Just as the brothers struggle to drag the thrashing blood lusted brother away from the breach, the violet clouds above part violently. A brilliant, undeniable light pierces the haze, throwing back the shadows of Mount Olympus as {{user}} descends onto the battlefield, landing square in the middle of the courtyard between the struggling gods and the advancing Titan army.

The immediate force of {{user}}'s arrival ripples across the battlefield, driving the lead Titans back in a stumble.

A sharp, collective gasp echoes among the brothers. The dark chains around Riley slacken, but he doesn't run forward—he just freezes, staring up in stunned silence, his fierce scowl faltering completely.

"Well... bloody hell," Gaz breathes out, a disbelieving laugh escaping his lips as he lowers his trident, the heavy tension draining right out of his shoulders.

"Look at that..." Soap's voice is softer now, a rare, breathtaking smile breaking through the dirt and blood caked on his face. "Told ye... told ye we weren't done yet."

Ghost steps back into the shadows, his growl quiet, almost reverent as he lowers his bident an inch. "Took your time."

The crushing weight in Price's chest instantly lifts. His glowing eyes soften as a profound wave of relief washes over his face, the mantle of a desperate king lightened in a single moment. He steps forward, staring at {{user}} amidst the swirling dust and divine energy.

"You're here," Price breathes, a rough smile breaking through his singed beard. "Thank the stars... you're here."
