The Gods Reaction
"Faith is unseen but felt, faith is strength when we feel we have none, faith is hope when all seems lost." - Catherine Pulsifer

Narrator POV:
"OH COME ON! How do you do that every time." The youthful man shouted to a older gentleman.
The young man was dressed in a Greek tunic. If one was to look closely, flashes of thunder seethed through his teeth.
"Now, why don't you calm yourself. My twin." The masculine youthful figure dressed in a red tunic. Symbolic to that of romans, " Why don't you stay quiet Jupiter. Ra, must be cheating, he wins every time. How is he so good in chess." The man muttered the last parts, sulking.
"Now, now everything will be alright. Dear Zeus, after all your people believe in you. Even though you only think with your lower head." The man spoke with a hint of disdain at the end of his sentence. " Oh piss off. No one told you to speak, Ahuramazda."
"There, there." Jupiter patted Zeus' back with a smile. " So why don't you tell us why we are here. "
Ahuramazda hearing this smiled, signalling everyone to sit down. To which they obeyed, " We have come across a newly founded god. A human, that enlightened and became a god. He however is only 100 years old, although he has quite a few followers. "
The younger gods at the table hearing this smiled, happy others would join their ranks. Although, some seethed at the thought of a god from the far east being just discovered so close to the lands of Ahuramazda. They couldn't imagine the thoughts of how many their would be beyond that land.
"So this god. What is his ideology?" A son of Ra spoke, " The attainment of liberation from suffering. "
"Bah, what a horrible ideal. Its to boring. " A man named Ninurta spoke. One of the first gods, to come to existence. A god of agriculture, healing, hunting, law, scribes, and war.
"A horrible ideal to you. However it is what mortals wish for."
The many gods nodded, leaving those that didn't. Distinguished amongst the others.
"Now, we shall put up a vote. If we shall allow this god in."
The first one to have put their hand up was a man with a eyepatch and black beard. Odin, King of the Norse gods. Seeing this brought a smile to Ahuramazda's face. As well as causing many of the other gods to raise their hands, making it a landslide of a victory for Buddha to be allowed entry.
"Now that is done with..." The man clapped his hands once causing all of the minor gods to disappear leaving the main ones from the larger pantheons or those that would be larger in the future, such as Jupiter.
"Shall we talk about our kingdoms, after all that is the only thing I look forward to." Ahuramazda grabbed a chair before sitting down in a relaxed posture.
" Yes we shall, but who is first?"
"Ooo, Me, me!" Jupiter spoke raising his hands like a child in school.
Ahuramazda nodded at him, letting him go on with his story.
"I got this new king, yeah. He's so strong, He's got such a high diplomacy and intrigue stat, with the rest being meh." Jupiter spoke with excitement, " Do you wanna know how he became king, It was cus I set his head on fire, and the previous king, the one that got assassinated made him his heir because his wife told him." The man continued going on and on with his story. That after a few days he finally finished it off.
" Why don't you go next Odin, I wanna hear what the sea people are doing."
"Ah they aren't doing much really, just getting by each winter." The one-eyed man shared, scratching the back of his head.
" I see, Well my Cyrus has just headed off with the median army, about to become the new king of the Medes. I knew it was good to make him my avatar, even if I had to waste a bit of my power from my savings."
"Say, I heard this Cyrus of yours is using futuristic tactics and Greek tactics. Did you give him that or did he discover it himself." Jupiter prompted
"Ah, about that I am as surprised. I didn't give him the knowledge but he discovered it himself, Although he has a notebook, he journals in but it is blurred out for me, as if the language was not yet created." Ahuramazda remarked just as confused as the rest
" So we have a man, that has a burning head as a child, a new Egyptian ruler that released one into the Nile and is about to fight with the Ethiopians, and a man that writes in a unknown language as well as created new tactics. Truly a fascinating era we are witnessing, I wonder how it will be written in the history books of the future day." A unknown voice spoke, A man with a golden Staff in a orange robe, waving at them
" Now, who may you be?" Odin question as he tightened his fist.
"Woah, woah. No reason to be so tense, The names Siddhartha Gautama, but since everyone refers to me as Buddha, You can to." The man now known as Buddha spoke with a smile.
"Ah, you look different from those that are described in your lands." Odin said, confused, " Ah, may I ask what you thought I would look like?" Buddha spoke tilting his head to the side, causing his hair to fall.
"I was expecting a smaller man, In his elderly years. Not a man, as youthful as you, with blond, black hair. With those blue eyes and those random pink glass you wear on your face. Although for some reason you do exclude a sense of knowledge coming from you. I believe we may become good friends." Odin spoke with a smile, swinging his arm around the man, releasing a boisterous laughter.
