"Persephone, you have to listen to me, if we manage to do this, all the Olympians will be forced to live in the Underworld, instead of you and I. Then, you and I have Olympus for ourselves!", Hades' voice was softer, calmer than usual. It always became soft and calm when Hades tried to convince Persephone. Hades stroke his hand over Persephone's cheek as she blushed.

"Are you certain of this, my exiled king?" Persephone said with a low voice.

"Persephone, are you not tired of being trapped, forced to live in the Underworld? The other Gods have forsaken us, left us to rot here in the Underworld! They should be punished! We should live up there! They should live down here! We have done nothing to deserve this! When you and I are up there, you shall be queen. I shall be the king. We shall live in an eternal monarchy, you and I shall be written into history." Hades was getting excited.

"But Hades..." She paused and took a deep breath. "Are you sure it will work?"


"I ensure you, Persephone, my love, that it will be of no problem, it will be simple. Have I told you of Icarus?" Hades held Persephone in his arms.

"Icarus?" Persephone was breathing nervously.

"Ah yes, the man, escaping the Prison and Maze of Crete, through creating wings of wax and feathers. However, the wax melted in the sun, and Icarus drowned. Charon, the Ferryman brought him in this morning. However, I will provide him what he desires, wings, and I will provide him invisibility, through the Helm of Darkness, so that he can go steal the Amulet of the Gods. For this favor he is doing me, I give him freedom." Hades was confident.

"It sounds simple enough, and I'm willing to give it a shot, for you, Hades."

Icarus returned that very day, possessing the Amulet of The Gods. Icarus kneeled right in front of Hades' throne.

"Icarus, you served your purpose, you are free to go. Bring a victim with you to Charon, the Ferryman. Place this coin, Charon's Obol, in the victim's mouth, and push the victim into the river of Styx, with current strong enough to bring even the strongest mortal to his eternal resting place. Walk out alive." Hades ordered the kneeling Icarus.

"Thank you, Hades, I am very, very grateful. I stay in moral debt to you."

"Now, Icarus, rise. Walk out alive." Hades said, to see Icarus rise, look him in the eyes, and walk out.

______________________________________

"Charon, I, Icarus now have a victim, and and your Obol. Accept my sacrifice!" Icarus shouted at Charon, as the ferryman's boat slowly approached the shore.

"Icarus, that is no Obol of mine. That is the Amulet of the Gods, but if you wish, place it in your victim's mouth and push the sacrifice into Styx. The Amulet is good enough for me." Charon said calmly.

However, Icarus was too impatient to get out, so he did as Charon said, and pushed the sacrifice and the Amulet of the Gods into the depths of Styx. As Icarus looked down at the sacrifice, he saw thousands of souls, entrapped in the river, though the bodies had sunk to the bottom of Styx.

"Very well, come with me," Said Charon as Icarus took his seat.

"ICARUS!" Hades' voice made the walls of the Underworld shake.

"Hades, calm down, you switched the coins yourself." Persephone was slightly impatient.

"Calm down? Calm down?! How am I supposed to calm down? The Amulet of the Gods, giving the Gods powers has just descended into Styx! It is impossible for any mortal, or immortal to reach it! My plan is ruined, until Hephaestus creates a new amulet!"

"It was your own fault," Persephone was teasing him.

"I know, Persephone, I know."

______________________________________

Down in the deepest depths of the Underworld, ruled by Hades, is a pit, a fissure, known as Tartarus. Inside that pit, Hades', Zeus', Hera's, Poseidon's, Hestia's and Demeter's father, the mighty Cronos, the King of the Titans, is forced to stay. Forced to live.

However, Cronos is not the only entrapped creature in Tartarus. What the world today does not know is that there are more Gods and Deities than the 12 Olympians and Hades. There were several other creatures, other Gods, in the strangest forms, the oldest, strongest children of the Titans. These were too powerful to rule the world as it is ruled today, as the Olympians understood. For this reason, they forced the powerful Gods, Deities to live in Tartarus, among with Cronos.

__________________________________
"MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, RISE FROM THIS FISSURE TODAY, RISE FROM TARTARUS, BECOME MY EQUALS, BECOME THE GODS YOU DESERVE TO BE! BECOME OLYMPIANS!" Hades' voice echoes in the depths of Tartarus.

The Gods arise from their chains, their grave, their sleep. The Gods emerge, into Hades' throne room.

"Zeus, be prepared."







The Talismans

There are 12 Olympians. Read closely.

1. Zeus, king of the Gods, god of thunder and weather in general. There are two items, two talismans, symbolizing Zeus. Thunderbolt, and an eagle. Why the thunder? Obviously, god of lightning and thunder. Why the eagle? When Zeus was young, just a baby infact, his father, Cronos demanded Rhea to let him eat her. Rhea switched Zeus with a rock, and Zeus was parented, raised by eagles on Mount Olympus.

2. Poseidon, Zeus' brother, god of the sea. He has two talismans, a trident, which is his weapon, and a dolphin, a creature of the sea, obviously.

3. Hera, the sister of Zeus and Poseidon, associated with a peacock (When Hermes killed Argus (a monster with 100 eyes) and rescued Io for Zeus, Hera put
the eyes into the tail of the peacock to reward his guardianship), Hera is the god of marriage, and the pomegranade symbolizes marriage.

4. Dionysus, Zeus' son, god of wine. His symbols are wine (Irony much?) and grapes, because they are the main ingredient of wine.

5. Apollo, god of light and archery, Zeus' son. His symbols are the sun, obviously, as well as a bow and arrow.

6. Artemis, goddess of hunting, she is the daughter of Zeus. Symbols include a deer (prey), and a hound (hunter).

7. Hermes, messenger of the gods. Son of Zeus, his symbols include winged shoes, which he uses to get around faster, and a winged cap.

8. Athena, goddess of wisdom, also the daughter of Zeus. Her symbols are an owl (wisdom) and an olive tree which was Athena's gift to the humans.

9. Ares, god of war, son of Hera and Zeus. The symbols are vultures (scavengers, fed by the bloodshed, the carnage), and a boar, wild and strong.

10. Aphrodite, the daughter of Zeus, goddess of love. Her symbols are a dove, and a rose, both symbols of love and beauty.

11. Hephaestus, god of fire and the forge, Hera's son. His symbols are a hammer, and an anvil, both items are used in forgery.

12. Demeter, goddess of fertility, Zeus' sister. Symbols are wheat and bread.

Now, you probably want know why I listed 2 talismans or symbols for every single Olympian?
In this game, what keeps the gods and goddesses immortal is their symbols all carved out in crystal.

To take down the gods, you will have to take down these items first, before the 9 planets form a line. If you cannot manage to do this before the planets are in a line, the titans and hell will enslave the world. Good luck, players.
