Volcanic Lightning
Long before our time the greek gods ruled. There was ares the war god,aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty apollo god of the sun, and perhaps the most known gods of all, zeus poseidon and hades. The big three some call them. Yes, once ago they all ruled but in common times we do not worship them anymore.
“Volcanoes all over the world have been erupting from mount fuji in japan to grimsvotn volcano in iceland”. Says a news reporter
‘Oh shoot!’ thinks Hermes the messenger god. The whole world is talking about these volcanic eruptions! What they really don't know is that those aren't just random eruptions! that's prometheus the titan who gave mankind fire! Im sure he's escaped his imprisonment that zeus put him in. I've got to tell Zeus..
So off flies Hermes the messenger god. He flies and flies all the till he reaches Olympus.
“Zeus! there's something important I have to tell you!”
“What is it Hermes i'm not in the mood for this says.” Zeus the god of the sky with a sigh.
All of the major gods sit upon their thrones in Olympus, staring down at Hermes.
“Well um you see…”
“Spit it out Hermes! We don't have all day!” shouts one of the gods upon the throne.
Prometheus has escaped your hold lord Zeus! He's Creating chaos among the humans! Making explosions out of the volcanoes.
“I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS” shouts Zeus as he strikes a bolt from his thunder bolt. It turns into utter chaos in under ten seconds. Zeus goes into a rampage and all the gods are nervous in their seats.
“I want Artemis goddess of the hunt to go after him and strike him down again!”
“Yes my lord father Zeus if I must”
“Well what are you waiting for GO!” he thunders down at her.
Artemis runs off to find Prometheus
Now where could that little titian be… says Artemis to herself with her bow drawn back.
But before she knew it that “little titian” was towering over her.
“Prometheus. My lord father Zeus sent me to stop you from bringing chaos to the humans”
“Well you can tell lord Zeus that I'm happy,i'm free, and i'm never going back to that hole he left me in!” “We'll see about that!” says Artemis. She releases the arrow to penetrate him, but it sinks right into his skin and he pulls the arrow out like it was nothing. “Oh Artemis you could never defeat me, for I am the great titan Prometheus!” he booms. Prometheus then proceeds to hurtle Artemis back to where she came from, Olympus. “Ahhhhhhhh!” screams the goddess of the hunt. She land straight in front of Zeus's throne. “ Lord father I have failed you” she says with a saddened voice. Trembling beneath his throne she says “ He's too strong I couldn't beat him like you wished”
“Then if my most famous and fiercest goddess cannot defeat him I shall do it myself!” humphs Zeus He flies over his skies and spots Prometheus upon a volcano in a country called Iceland. “PROMETHEUS” screams Zeus from the top of his lungs as he lunges toward him with a battle cry. He slashes him with his thunderbolt but Prometheus rolls to safety before it could even touch him.
“You did not think it would be that easy did you?” laughed Prometheus. He throws the fire he gave to mankind straight at Zeus's face but with a snap of his fingers the fire disappears. “Nor will it be easy for you to defeat me.” says Zeus they lunge at eachother and sparks fly but too the human eye, it looked as if lava was pouring out with lighting shooting down.
“Give it up Prometheus! Go back to the dungeon that I once sent you in!”
they lunge again and Prometheus grows weaker.
“No… NOOOOOOOO”
“I OPEN THE GATES TO TARTARUS” shouts Zeus
“Don't do this! Let me stay here with the human I'll be good!” he begs
“You have caused too much of a disturbance in the human world and now you will suffer and even greater pain than you did before.” he thrusts prometheus limp body into the pit and the ground closes up again.
Later that day, Hermes is watching the new back on Olympus. “There has been a sighting on iceland showing volcanic lighting…. the tv drowns out and Hermes is delight with joy.
“Zeus won!” he screams with delight
When he opens the door to Olympus and a party is breaking out, everyone is absolutely bliss. Everything is back to normal, the human world is at peace once again, thanks to the gods that is.
