Tenth prompt: Burn
The sky was on fire.
The metal dragon flew through the air, exploding in a spectacular stream of fireworks and debris. From his place on Mount Olympus, Zeus watched the demigods with a keen eye.
There were a lot more of them than he remembered. More than Jupiter could account for either, with all his boasting. It wasn't all the Greeks, nor all the Romans. Rather, it appeared to be everyone taken together. That and more.
They were doing it. Together, the gods' children had come together and defeated Gaea, something Zeus hadn't figured out how to do. He probably would have, had it not been for Jupiter butting in on his every thought, confusing his priorities. Luckily, they'd been able to find common ground, and came to the demigods' aid just in time to battle the giants. Their children better be thankful.
Zeus smiled at the cheers, watched as Gaea sunk to the depths of her slumber. Civilization would always rule over nature. Ever since it's conception, it was bound to do so. Gaea fought a losing battle from the start.
But it made him wonder: what would the earth be like if nature ruled? Would things really be in harmony, or would it simply be a loss of all the beautiful progress? Would he still rule?
The thought burned through his mind, an answer never to come.
A/Ns: Hello world. How is life?
So, there really isn't that much to say about this. I'm on my second snow day of this week, with a third being likely tomorrow, and I became very bored with myself. Whenever I'm bored, I wrote stuff. Whenever I'm emotional, I write stuff. Hopefully, if I keep this pattern up, I'll have finished fanfiction, and maybe even novels, by the time summer rolls around. If homework doesn't get in the way, that is.
Anyhow, this was more for the cool paragraph structure than the actual content. Consider it a writing warm up, for writing different things. Maybe I'll update something now.
Thanks for reading, please leave a review with solangelo fic suggestions, and I'll see you on the far side!
