The rifts opened unexpectedly and violently. A rapid distortion of space-time had loosed leviathan upon an unsuspecting universe. Yawning from eons of slumber, Mnemosyne, the titan of memory and the mother of muses, arose yawning through the pure crystalline waters of Oceanus
Never before had an unsuspecting creation been spellbound with such an event as this. The heavens shone as ancient Olympians merged gradually through opening rifts. With reticence, Artemis pulled back her bow and let loose twelve silver arrows. The universe thundered in rejoinder and turned crimson. Empowered by the event, Artemis silenced the celestial bodies with a wave of her hand and then commanded the moon to retreat; with a sullen sound moon departed
Athena sprang next unchallenged from behind Saturn and waved her hands across the heavens. Commanding Mars to reestablish an ancient geo-synchronous orbit with Earth, she mocked the virgin goddess Hestia. With precision, celestial bodies played out the confrontation between Hestia’s brother Zeus and their aging father Cronus. Zeus defeated Cronus. After drawing lots with his brothers, Poseidon and Hades, Zeus was granted supreme ruler of the pantheon of gods. The die was cast and the despot of the underworld smiled
“Such is my power of illusion." He sneered. "We shall bring all of them through the portal on chariots of imagination. None shall be immune. Many fools will travel to those places framed within sovereignty and free will.”
“But these are not Truth master.” The imp whined.
“Truth is what they choose to believe,” despot shot back. “And we shall destroy many in their unbridled and foolish ignorance!”
