Introduction
With their first world destroyed, the gods decided to create another. This time, they sent the dark gods away to avoid another disaster from happening. They reshaped the mountains, refilled the rivers and seas, and created all of the living things once more. Finally, new humans were placed upon this second Earth, and again, the humans thrived, making their villages and tending to their farms. However, it seemed the evil that had been instilled in the first humans was an intrinsic quality that was not planted by the dark gods. Very soon, humans began to get jealous of each other, because one may have had more cattle, or one may have had a better harvest. Wars began to break out again, but this time, the gods stood by. They knew if they tried to remake the world again, the same thing would happen again and again. So the gods just stood by and watched as humankind flourished. They watched the rise and fall of many empires, the innovations and inventions that spread across the world. They watched as horses were replaced by steam engines that were replaced with gasoline and diesel-burning engines. They watched as countries and nations formed from the small villages that seemed to have been built mere days before. They watched as the modern world was established.
However, as modern day approached, humankind had reached a new level of evil. They began creating terrifying weapons to destroy whole nations. Humans began threatening each other, and very soon, the United States became the greatest nation in the world, putting every other nation underneath its thumb. Every time a nation attempted to struggle free of America, the great superpower responded by completely obliterating the nation from the map. The gods found this unacceptable, as never before had something this terrible happened. They then decided that it was time to begin trying to either try to turn this all around or start over once again.
So now, the gods have all decided to spend time in the human world, just to see what life was like. They saw poverty, crime, and hatred running rampant, and found it to be everything opposite of the egalitarian societies they had initially created. Many have already decided that they want to destroy this world and rebuild again, but others believed that humankind deserved a chance to change. Now they have all decided to meet up and discuss their ideas before making one final judgment. They reserved a small coffee shop in one of the large American cities, and made sure that no normal human could come in unless they were an employee of the shop. To get in, each god had to enter through the back door and place their mark in the book of iron, the sacred tome compiled by the gods at the dawn of time.
Once all of the gods have gathered, the discussions will begin.
Humankind's fate now lies in the hands of the gods.

Nyama sighed feeling exasperated, Chilili had agreed but not because because she believed this was a feasible way out. She was submitting to their will simply because she felt helpless. She was like Raul before he had been let out of his cage. His eyes roved towards the Monkey's tail, it hung down from the table where now sat himself while he gnawed at the gable, having hopped from Nyama's shoulder the moment he crouched down. Nyama felt much sympathy for her, but this sort of attitude wasn't favorable for survival, he was also a bit irritated with her. The universe it seemed often reflected the fact that it was brought into fruition by opposing and contrasting forces, that some how brought balance to each other, but it did not however take away from the fact that it was a harsh place to live in. He had toiled hard indeed just to come up designs that could work, let alone depend and compete with each other in a way that would be sustainable for the whole, in the end there was reaper man, he was like the shadows of his own creations no matter how much they ran he'd trot behind them, at a pace to just fall behind, the moment they grew weary they were overrun. Nyama didn't resent Death, for doing what was in his nature, but for his reason he could only favor and put his own energy into the strong, whether they be it in might or in will.
No! He quickly pushed those dark thoughts away this wasn't just death this was oblivion, and lab mice could never be held to the same judgment they were at the mercy animals much more mighty and clever then they, he was hit with a double dose of his old guilt, he absentmindedly wrapped his arms around Tom, and picked the cat off the ground feeling a need for comfort. His peace was short lived, as heard Maisie's uncontrollable sobbing, she believed Chilili would fail, had his foolish impulses and verbal blunders really sealed the doom of the only endearing quality of his kind, their creation? Despite it all his instincts still held firm to the belief, that Chilili was like a zebra that would boldly bend her neck downwards into the watering hole, in order to get the lion to release it, she had strength to spare. These thoughts evaporated as soon as he heard the most unwelcoming of sounds Cassius's voice calling his name. He hissed in displeasure for her comment. "B-better to be a lapdog, then a decrepit old vulture looking for some bones to pick on!" He was annoyed that his voice skipped, but otherwise was happy with the fact that he took a crack at her, and it was all thanks to Chilili's insight...A mortal actually teaching a god something, his instincts were right as they always were. "Anyway Aye!"
