As we walk out, we see more people gathering and looking at the sky.

Up in the night sky is a crack as bright as day, slowly splitting further. Every second expanding further to the sound of thunder.

I, having my usual suspicion, turn to Lilith and say with sarcasm,

Dorian:"I'm gonna go out on a limb and say cracks in the night sky is not a common occurrence. Either it's an apocalypse, or the gods are bending reality."

Lilith:"No it's not common at all. I'm hoping it's the latter."

As me and Lilith stop talking Dagothur and Julien come up and stand besides us.

Dag comes up to me and hands me the Crow's briefcase and says,

Dag:"You might be needing this."

Dorian:"Thanks." I say taking out the Crow in AxeSword form and looking back up at the sky.

After about another five minutes, Antonio, Hanz, Greta, and Beatrice come over and say hi.

Man the wait is killing me. Dafuq is going on.

All of a sudden, a sonic boom sounds out, causing many to fall to the ground holding their hands to their bleeding ears.

Feeling my eardrums rupture, I use blood manipulation to staunch the bleeding and then use healing to knit the eardrums back together. I then turn to the others and do the same.

Antonio:"Thanks bro. That shit hurt."

Julien:"No shit Sherlock."

Wait how does he know that phrase.

..... oh wait. I've said it before. Nevermind.

Ignoring the two, I turn back towards the crack in the sky, just to be looking into the eyes of someone who doesn't know what personal space is.

I jump back just to see lightning strike where I just was.

???:"Well Zeus, seems your lightning isn't as fast as it once was."

I look towards the two beings in front of me.

One in a standard Greco /Roman toga, and another in a standard Nordic skirmisher armor. I'm guessing the asshole who shot lightning was the one in a toga, aptly named Zeus. I'm guessing the man in Nordic armour is Odin.

Dorian:"Great exactly what I was hoping to deal with tonight. Two pantheon leaders. I'm guessing more gods are on the way."

Zeus:"No boy. They sent us as ambassadors to find out who the new hero is. I was expecting a hardened warrior, not some welp, who barely has stopped suckling a teat.

Dorian:"I never took you for a voyeur Zeus, how'd you know what I do with Lilith in bed. The again I guess I shouldn't expect any less from a God who turned into a Swan and RAPED a woman in said form."

Odin:"OH,BURN! Hahaha."

Zeus:"You insolent wretch, tell me why I shouldn't smite you now." He says while forming lightning spears in each hand.

Dorian:"Obviously you need me for something asshole." I say running lightning and fire along my arms. 

I've never liked Zeus. Out of all the mythological gods I know, he is by far the biggest asshole. And that's counting his father Kronus.

Odin:"All right you two, calm down. We came to talk."

Zeus:"The youngling thinks lightning could affect me."

Dorian":The douche thinks he could take me down with lightning. If there is one thing I know, it's electricity and plasma. Physics bitch."

Zeus:"HOW DARE-"

Odin:"Stop it you two." Odin says while releasing a pressure stronger than anything I've known. Cutting off Zeus.

Releasing the lightning and fire, I nod towards Odin to continue.

Odin:"Alright we came to talk about which pantheon you would answer to."

Uh- uh.....

Fuck that.

Dorian:"Fuck that." I ain't joining no pantheon, especially when it's only two of them that came by, if any gods want me to join, the better show the fuck up themselves and give me a good fucking reason to.

Odin:"I got a reason for you, your soul will be stuck in limbo for eternity. Plus we don't like being rejected." He says cracking his neck.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

Dorian:"I got a better idea, how about you fuck off, and when it comes time for me to judge souls, I'll send them  to wherever they go based on their beliefs. I'm gonna be neutral and fair. If someone believes in Hindu, or Nordic, or what the fuck ever, I'll send them based on their beliefs. I aint gonna give you guys advantage over others." I say releasing an feeling of adamant stubbornness to both gods.

Odins face darkens and Zeus prepares lightning spears once more.

I may have fucked up...

Feeling a familiar pressure, I look towards the Academy mountain and see Lucifer flying towards us with his ashen wings, Morningstar in hand.

Lucifer:"You both are breaking Pantheon rules by stepping onto this protected land, especially with the intent on trying to shift the balance of souls in your favor. Go before I personally whoop both your asses. Its late and I want to fucking sleep."

Odin:"We were doing no such thing. Just coming to say hello to the new hero. Maybe show him the error of his ways in not choosing a pantheon. You know how dangerous it is to not have protection of a pantheon." Odin says while pulling a bone and feather spear out of mid- air.

Dorian:"And here I thought Jormungand was a snake." I say while preparing for a fight. Lilith and the others preparing their mana and weapons.

Lucifer:"Be quite Dorian now is not the time, I will speak to you later." He says while setting his Morningstar on fire.

As we all square up, and start releasing pressure, the crowd disperses and another crack of thunder sounds out.

A woman with clothes blacked than the void and hair and eyes darker still appears in front of all of us, a man next to her wearing a Spartan helmet with metal that looks like the night sky.

Lucifer:"Well I it isn't Hel and Hades, what brings you two here." The fallen says with a smirk.

Hel in her revealing black dress looks to Odin and Zeus with apathy on her face and says,

Hel:"What do you think you're doing here, you both know that anyone who deals with the souls of the dead is our jurisdiction. Especially when it comes to judgement of said souls."

Zeus:"Shut it you emotionless whore, this is between the nephilim and us."

Dorian:"Did you fuckwads even think to consult said nephilim, especially when said nephilim just learned what the fuck going on and as to why he's here in another fucking dimension." I seem to be very foulmouthed today.

Must be because I'm dealing with a God who I hate just from the stories of heard about him.

I mean he's punished people who have done nothing but good. Like Prometheus.

He's tricked Pandora into opening the box and letting evil into the world and trapping hope inside.

Hades:"Brother return to Olympus now before things get out of hand. We cannot risk making our plans known."

Dorian:"Not to be a spoil sport, but you just saying that has made everyone aware that you have plans. I mean if Odin isn't involved in those plans, I'd think he wouldn't take to kindly to being doublecrossed."

After that statement everyone seems to have shut up.

Looking to Hades he is now in an Orz position with Zeus patting his shoulder.

Are they idiots?

Hel and Odin:"Yes they are, unfortunately."

With that Hel turns towards me.

Hel:"Dorian, know this. The power you have will shift the balance of all things. The power over souls is not something to be trifled with. Don't let any sway you in any one direction. Don't favor any pantheon. And finally do hold predjudice towards any pantheon. Any change in the balance of souls could destroy all you care for."She says with her voice slightly failing in the end. There's definitely some backstory there.

Dorian:"Hel... well hell. I don't really know what to say that won't come out as a smart ass remark. Especially considering the situation. I mean this is all too much. I went from a deadbeat teen with no future to a person with powers beyond even his own comprehension. I know nothing of souls and balance. I mean I literally learned just yesterday what the fuck Is going on. I was just planning on stopping the asshole empire. I mean I guess this is something that should be addressed now, especially cause the road I walk will be flooded in blood, but still. I'm not really one to think about things greater than me."

Hades gets up from his Orz and comes over looking me in the eyes.

Hades:"Know this Dorian, just because you don't know what your doing, doesn't mean you can't try. I mean really, you think every God comes into existence knowing what their purpose is?"

Dorian:"....Yes."really dude?

Hades:"That's not the point, what I'm trying to say, is you needn't worry, just focus on the task at hand."

And here I thought Hades was a bad guy. He's a little "not there" but he doesn't seem to bad.

Anyway I think that everything is going to fast. Why can't it just be a simple quest of destroy those who fucked me over and live a happy life with friends and family?

Why's it gotta be so fucking complicated.

With that Odin and Zeus are dragged back to their pantheons.

I look to Lucifer just to get smacked and go flying.

Ouch...

Lucifer:"You fucking idiot. You just nearly started and inter- dimensional war between religions. The fuck is wrong with you?"

Dorian:"Zeus is an asshole, he attacked me. I was fine with Odin, he's a cool dude dude but they were trying to coerce me. You know as well as I do that I'm an insubordinate ass."

Lucifer:"I don't give a fuck Dorian. If Aphrodite herself wants to come down and stick a cactus up your ass, you fucking let her. I can't be responsible for you all the time."

Dorian:"Please I could have taken them easy." By the power of Imagi- fuckin- ation.

Lucifer:"Zeus yes, Odin Yes, but together with the backing of multiple gods,  you'd be raped faster than a 8yr old boy at the Vatican."(A.N. I don't really believe this, I just wrote this to be obscene.)

*sigh*

Dorian:"I'm tired..."

Lucifer:"...."

With that we all went to our rooms to sleep. 

That night I slept with the Crow in my hand and leaving my Force Sense out to be aware even in sleep.
