Chapitre 5: Gods and Humans
he gods on this planet,in general, protect the cities, and they gave people "gifts" to the land and the people of the town in question, as to why the gods to this? Well, there are a lot of theories, some say that the gods need our "faith" , however, this theory has a major flaw, nobody knew where the gods come from. 1000 years ago, they just appear out of nowhere, there are no records of them before this date, so if they existed before we even knew them, why do they need "faith"?
Other people say that the gods were always here, however, something happen, the factions in the plane of gods broke in an all-around war, nevertheless, they understood that the war was never going to end which both sides be as powerful as they are, so they think of another way, use the disposable "pawns" to resolve the war, that's why they descended.
All in all this two are the most acceptable theories, there are some other theories like the gods were just bored, so they decide to play a "game", if we had to be open-minded, this theory is not that crazy, who knows how a god think.
"Mmm…. Interesting…." Say Artemis while processing the information.
"There is one more thing" say Alfonso.
"Speak"
"Do you remember, Hercules, the son of Zeus?" Asked Alfonso.
"Of course, I remember! How could I forget about him, he was the favorite bastard of that old man, Well, even I had to admit that, for a human, he was quite capable" Said Artemis.
"Well, in this world, there are people like him, however, here, the gods don't have children with humans, that's because they can't come to this plane, that's why, they choose especial people to represent them, they are the darlings of the gods, they are known as the champions" Said Alfonso.
The champions, the chosen of the gods to represent them, there is a lot of question about how a god choose a champion, however, everyone knows one fact, every time a city give birth to a champion, the city will prosper, that is because the god will bless the land just because of him, as to how far the blessing goes, that depends on of every god, for example, the city of Titanos, which was one of the few cities in Leitol that wasn't under the jurisdiction of Alfonso's brothers and sisters, was blessed by the goddess of weather, Reita, 500 years ago a hero was born here, Lefro, he was the champion of Reita, after he died, Reita blessed the land with a natural barrier, so nobody could invade Titanos, one could see that Reita was a super protective god indeed!
"Well it's not a surprised, we, gods, usually take a liking to some kind of humans, as for me, I am not that bored to see every single human that is born in the world, only old fogs like Zeus or Poseidon have that much time in their hands" Said Artemis with a smirk on her face.
"Anyway, I think that I get the general idea, however…."
Before she finishes her sentence, Artemis stood up and walked up to the entrance of the manor, Alfonso didn't say anything and only followed her.
After going out, the scenery could only be described with one word, lugubrious. The cold wind and the heavy snow in the roads make the scenery before them extremely depressing.
"This is really as its name say, a Wasteland" say Artemis while contemplating the scenery.
After that she turn around and look at Alfonso straight to the eyes.
"Why do you stay here? You can just away, with me and the other gods, having a stable live in other city or maybe in other empire while be no problem, have you ever taught about that?" Ask Artemis.
"Well, I thought of that as well" Say Alfonso.
Actually, Alfonso did give it some taught, however he was trapped in here, the system wouldn't let him choose another land, so he had to stay.
"However, is not so bad…. If we forget about the obvious short comings, this place has some nice stuff, like Titanos, this wasteland valley had a natural barrier, if someone wanted to invade, they would suffer the same destiny that the Germany troops had when they invade Russia back in the ww2, another thing is that, they actually had a lot of food in the form of beast, of course, that is in the premise that they can actually be the hunter and not the prey "and there is one more thing….." thought Alfonso.
"Because nobody cares about this place" Say Alfonso looking back at Artemis.
