In the beginning, Chronos wrapped the egg of life in his hands and cracked it open to give life to the sea, the sky, and the earth. From these gods came new gods, new titans, trickling down through the ages, taking aeons.

Zeus, self proclaimed king of the gods, overthrew his own father as Kronos had done before him to gain domain over all of Olympus, imprisoning him deep in Tartarus. But, unbeknownst to Zeus, he was only fulfilling a time-old fate, that the past shall give way to the future so that life may continue to thrive.

This same fate would no doubt come again, but Zeus, in his arrogance, took no heed. He was a fool.

It was known among mortal men that the gods would on occasion take an interest in one of them and come to share a bed. So many children were born of these unions, but the stories overlapped and soon far too many were claiming to be the son of a god, and fewer were remembering their heritage. It is through mankind's conceit that they saved many blessed bloodlines from being eradicated. For it had come to the attention of our gods that their progeny was to overthrow them, taking their thrones on high, and Zeus, as well as many of his family, would not stand for it. For decades the world suffered their wrath, born of fear.

A thousand years has passed since the terror of the gods. Faith in them has long since been lost, leaving nothing but infrequent stories, but blood has a way of persevering as it did with Zeus, and his father before him. Fate can not be changed.

And so in the modern era were reborn the souls, destined for greatness that far exceeded that of any human before them.

Due to everything that is going on in my life I have appointed [~Valkyrie~] Co-Gm to help me run things more smoothly. All questions, concerns, and new Characters will still be directed towards [Synirria]. [~Valkyrie~] will just be here to help me with whatever needs I see fit at the time and so I don't have a mental break down ;).

2017-08-06 [Synirria]: Oh yeah, I meant to do that earlier but forgot

2017-08-07 [ancienteye]: Oh, that's what happened. XD

2017-08-24 [Synirria]: Just a heads up to everyone. Next week from the 31st to the 4th I will be in Tennessee with my mother in law and sister's in law for a girls weekend away. I HIGHLY doubt any of them are going to let me sit on my phone we'll be having too much fun around Gatlinburg.

2017-08-24 [ancienteye]: Cool! Have fun! :D

2017-08-24 [Synirria]: Thanks, we're hoping the Prima Donna of the family doesn't ruin it for all of us lol... this is supposed to be a relaxing trip away.

2018-12-27 [ancienteye]: http://erinnightwalker.tumblr.com/post/181447821565/idea-nat-1s-dont-have-to-be-a-fail-i-mean

2020-08-25 [Painted Autumn]: ... I miss this. I'm gonna reread stuff!

2021-01-08 [Tekkon KinKreet]: i have a compy again and a stable schedule thats going nowhere so id be down for a restart

2021-01-16 [Painted Autumn]: Unfortunately Synirria never gets on anymore.

2021-04-27 [ancienteye]: I love rereading this RP...

2021-04-27 [Painted Autumn]: ANCIENT! I’VE MISSED YOU!!!

2021-04-27 [ancienteye]: I'VE MISSED YOU, TOO!

Everything here just...slowed down and one day I stopped checking in.

2021-04-27 [Painted Autumn]: I was so worried about you! You and Eyelash! (Who I still can’t contact...) I miss playing with you so much...

2021-04-28 [ancienteye]: I'M ALIVE! I SWEAR! Honestly, I haven't really written anything narrative for a while aside from scraps of ideas here and there. I actually got around to trying my hand at fanfiction a while after falling out of the habit of checking Elftown...but fanfiction, like novels and webcomics, kind of require plot. So I fell into writer's block and learned the wonders of video games.

2021-04-28 [ancienteye]: I feel like I'm learning pop culture out of order. I just learned this past year what game series the Fem!ShepXGarrus ship that I've seen referenced all over the internet for years actually comes from.

2021-04-28 [Painted Autumn]: I feel like I’m just living through the discoveries again. I’ve binged watched every long standing tv show I could...

2021-04-28 [ancienteye]: I haven't even gotten to TV shows. I have four different streaming services (two are bundled together and one is horror-exclusive) and I've barely even dipped into them because YouTube and Steam games keep pulling me under, instead.

2021-04-28 [Painted Autumn]: I really should watch more YouTubers... I have... ah... 8? Streaming services? Plus Sling so lots of TV on demand. More content than I could ever watch...

2021-04-28 [ancienteye]: XD XD XD

If you love the horror genre, I recommend watching "3 games 1 video" letsplays. Both Markiplier and Jacksepticeye do them, and I wouldn't be surprised if other people do, too.

But if you want to watch a bibliophile slowly drive himself insane reading the most abhorrently written literature in modernity, I suggest KrimsonRogue's channel. He's done all of the Onision books and a multi-part EPIC of this one book called Empress Theresa that is just so wrong in so many ways you could teach a college course on what not to write based on this one book.

2021-04-28 [Painted Autumn]: Ah... maybe I’ll check out the former but maybe not the latter. I try to minimize further emotional trauma. Lol

2021-04-28 [ancienteye]: XD Fair enough.
