7 The Convincing

Maegor POV

Athena had shown me around Olympus, from the different temples and rooms to the barracks of Olympus's army. She explained that each god on Olympus has a temple or place they stay. The 12 Olympians have the biggest ones and stay in their own sector while minor gods and goddesses of similar divinity's to the major ones stay in the province with their temple. Like Ares and Athena share a whole province and each have a HUGE temple, while gods and goddesses stay in their province with smaller temples.

Anyway, after she was done she escorted me to Zeus's temple and chamber. Once we entered I saw Zeus, Hear and Apollo all staring at me.

"Hello my boy, how have you been doing this fine day, did you enjoy your party?" Zeus starts questioning me, I should say 'Nah I didnt enjoy it' but thats a little to blunt.

"Yeah it was cool, a little much for a 4 year old though huh?" Instead of getting a little angry Zeus just chuckles a little.

"I guess Dionysius went a little to over the top."

Hera mutters lightly, "thats putting it lightly."

Zeus just stares back at her, like 'stfu!' "Sooo, what did you want me for Lord Zeus?" I ask him, trying not to laugh a little, since Hera begins to look around innocently.

"Well…I want you stay upon Mount Olympus."

"…Why?"

"You are powerful my boy, Apollo himself could teach you of his abilities." I look over to Apollo and see a smug look on his face.

"What else?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do I get some type of, special ingredients, maybe testing on mortals, hmmm?" I say, as I rub my hands together.

"Well I-"

I interrupt Zeus, "Because Hades gives me things." Whatever he was about to say I didn't care about, I mean Hades is gonna give me my own little biome of the underworld to rule over.

"Then of course you can have these things!" Zeus exclaims immediately, he must want me here pretty bad I guess. Hera and Apollo roll their eyes at my obvious ploy.

"Y'know…Hades is gonna give me my own biome of the underworld when I become of age. What will you give me?"

"WHAT, HE IS GONNA WHAT???!!!!" Zeus screams for a hell.

I broke Zeus. After his tantrum ended he excused me. However I didn't have anywhere to stay so I just teleported home.

Like a month passes and I find out Zeus and Hades got into a shouting match the ENTIRE month, without break. Eventually they settled, I will spend time at both places, 6 months in the underworld, 6 months on Olympus and since the year was almost over they decided I would start the next year until I was of age.

6 years had passed in a heartbeat, constantly traveling and making plagues and diseases. Mortals learned of me quickly. At first the words of my deeds became folklore, and then I proved my existence through a mass depression episode on some..lets say strong dislikers of mine.

The healthy pray to me to stay healthy, while the sick either pray for forgiveness and to alleviate and cure their sickness or to just end them quickly. The biggest thing that helped my godhood was the former city of Tynoros. Legend of the city of the dreaming men emerged.

The stories tell of a city so great, the gods were jealous. To to relieve their jealousy, the gods sent me, 'Maegor the Plague Prince, Lord of Pestilence and Maegor the Cruel.' Many gods do not have titles, the ones who do are all part of the 12 Olympians and also Hercules.

Zeus the Cloud-Gatherer

Poseidon the Earth-Shaker

Hades the Unseen One

Of course they have much more titles bug this is just a point. Disease is probably one of the worst ways to die to. The pain, the way you feel your body get weaker and weaker, the shame and humiliation of relying on other people, especially if you're a independent person, the way you see your family and friends treat and look at you.

All the medication to stay alive, all the money that goes into keeping you alive, the lonely days stuck in a place were people die everyday. You multiply it because we aren't at the modern times, its way worse, survival is a different ball game.

And all I've got to say about that?
