Well I know things are slow, but hey when it comes to Disney topics, you can never be too careful when trying to research a few things.

Chapter 06: Olympian Trails - 1st Event!

LOCATION: LEON'S CAMP SITE

The scene begins to open somewhere along the travel path leading to a forest. It seem like a remote location where hardly anything out of the ordinary occurs. But we spot a familiar wagon cart with the Magic Mirror inside it. Around the cart was a setup camp of a chopped log for a seat, rocks placed around sticks to make a fire, and some broken branches with leaves to make a roof tent. And nearby was Leon Lionheart who was currently busy distracting himself with a few distractions. He searched around to find some things related to his subclasses. Among them were herbs from different plants, chopped wood and stones to make tools for a little alchemy and mechanical practices. Right now he was busy having made some basic paint liquid and brush to distract himself. Mostly he left marks to know where he's been after having said farewell to Snow White and friends.

"Few…well that should about do it?" Leon signs from wiping the sweat off his forehead: he finished making a new marking. "It's never easy trying to accomplish a few chores while on the road." The guy stated on how things seem to be going thus far. "Hey, how are you doing in there? Comfy?" He turns to look at the Magic Mirror, as a familiar spirit face appeared in the center.

"While been in couches before, many a time the tremor feel has moved one's self. Yet just as others before, you know best to handle one's possessions with care." Magic Mirror replied with another rhyme of riddles to the question that was asked.

"Well seeing you are rhyming you must be fine." Leon rolled his eyes from knowing how having a companion was nice, strange but nice. "Anyway, I completed another task. How many has that been so far?" He stated on having been busy trying to finish some random jobs here and there.

"Shall I say wha thy wish to hear, or rather save us both time by making one's answer be display as crystal clear." Magic Mirror replied with a rhyme to answer the question with a simple solution.

"Um, okay…I suppose the latter one then?" Leon shrug off his shoulders to answer.

"Very well, ask and you shall have what you wish for." Magic Mirror replied with just a simple message.

Then the spirit's head disappeared before something else came in it's place. There were words and numbers that remind Leon of one's stats in games.

"Hugh, I never knew a Magic Mirror could do this?" Leon raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised but not complaining. "Let's scroll through the list." Leon looks carefully over what was displayed by the magic mirror:

-Daily Task Quest-

'Outdoor Expert' - Complete

Info: When traveling around the world without a place to call home, they must know how to get by with basic outdoor survivable techniques. Chopping wood to make a fire and prepare items such as tools used for hunting or campsite gear. Knowing the type of plants growing around can be important of what is safe to eat and those that provide medical aids or those with debuff effects used for hunt or scare off predators. Using some survival techniques on the materials can help with patching up clothing or make other stuff like paint-like liquid to design things.

"You know I was surprised to find there's a daily task quest of working out to help raise up my subclasses. But to think there were some to increase my current strength stats for attack methods in battle was another shock." Leon exclaimed on how surprising it was to discover that there are ways to help increase these things which in turn, help his status' stats.

"One must learn, that to be ready for anything, you must not ignore the skills needed ahead of when or what one will face." Magic Mirror explains the method on how such task can mature the skills to new levels.

"Hugh, you're not wrong about that. After experiencing what played out with Snow White, I'm trying to wrap around my head of what I'll be heading into next?" Leon scratches his head from recalling his previous close encounter on that first adventure. "And I been training ever since with my current gear. See for yourself." Leon issued on wanting to demonstrate his abilities.

That's when Leon began to summon his current weapons to put into practice. First was the White Knight Sword in performing a few sword basic movements when wielding it in one or both hands. Second was the Crystal Warhammer as it felt powerful to break through solid rock, performing heavy impacts would prove helpful. And lastly the Faerie Bow that was recently obtain, the practice to perform archery was a must. But unlike the other two weapons, the bow was more difficult due to a level 17 gap since Leon was only a Level 30 and the weapon required the masterful user at Level 47. Never the less, Leon tries to learn how to handle shooting an arrow from afar. Since it may become an important skill down the road.

"Impressive indeed, when first you begun, you were never as good as you are now." Magic Mirror gives his own verse matter of praise.

"Yeah, I'm already use to it." Leon shrug off the shoulders to admit, he's a lot better then when he first arrived in this world.

"While thou maybe attending to minor task to raise thy self high. One still has yet to unlock they next class." Magic Mirror issued on revealing some surprising news of the matter.

"Next class?" Leon stops his practice to look at the mirror, as what he said perk his interest.

"Have thou forgotten, you can now unlock thy next abilities? Your level has now reach 30." Magic Mirror issued on recalling the count on what level Leon is currently at.

"Right, after I hit Level 10 I selected Guardian, then upon reaching pass Level 20 I selected Enchanter. Now I'm at Level 30, which means…" Leon was recalling and going over the steps he has taken on what his newfound standings are at. "I can select another new class, right?" He asked from hoping that would be the case of the topic.

"Indeed, but remember this." Magic Mirror spoke with some fare share of a warning to give. "Whatever you choose, you must wait until your strength grows more. Only at the time, will you choose another addition to aid you further." The spirit of the mirror gave Leon a cautious message, to think carefully on what to do when reviewing a new main class addition.

"Alright, let's see what I got that can help." Leon nods his head to confirm he's ready.

Now Leon had decided to hold off for a while since he was in the middle of things. After all, there was a curse princess that needed help and the curse broken, plus gain a happy fairy tale ending. But now with all that settled, it was time to review the next big steps Leon would take while exploring the world base on Disney animated films. And from the magic mirror's surface, information appeared to inform Leon of the current open classes he can select to go with:

CLASS JOBS/TYPES: (3 Openings)

CLERIC – Healer

SORCEROR – Magician

DRUID – Heal Supporter

Leon was surprised that 2 of the classes appeared again, which would help in his decision. But the 3rd new class was also another surprise that he did not expect to come across. While Sorcerer does give one more magic, Leon recalls his previous encounters. He believes that while he had some potions to recover health and magic played crucial roles in what has happened, apparently it maybe time he gain something to keep his health in check. Now while Cleric was the main healer type to provide a strong among of healing, Druid holds other abilities besides just healing. It seems that while having a main focus is nice and perfect, in the early stages it maybe best to have a lot of supports to cover all areas.

"I choose the Heal Supporter – Druid!" Leon spoke forth in having made his decision right there.

-UNLOCK 3RD NEW CLASS-

*Druid: Pledged to nature and spirits, a Druid is a magic-type Healer, specializing in using Heal-over-Time spells. A Druid can produce the greatest HP-per-second recovery rate by stacking various skills to speed up the healing process. Aside from healing spells, the Druid class has a fair amount of offensive and defensive magic and is considered the most well-rounded of the healer classes. Druids can also use magic that controls the forest. As a result, battling against enemies in the forest will be advantageous for parties with Druids. However, one of the Druid's weaknesses is MP consumption, making them incapable of continuously casting spells for long periods of time. Thus, a Druid must be very aware and keep track of their MP use.

-UNLOCK 5 DRUID SKILLS-

*Heal: Cast a bright white light around one's self upon casting and if there is more then one person, the light scatters to make contact with comrades. This Druid type magic heals all allies, though at a slow rate. COST 0MP

*Healing Wind: Cast a green light taking the form of swirling wind. An area-of-effect healing spell that generates a healing wind around the caster and restores HP instantly. Unlike most other Druid skills, which have long cast times and require the caster to stop moving to cast, Healing Wind has a very short chant and can be used while on the move. In exchange, however, its healing potency is low. COST 5MP

*Heartbeat Healing: Considered a Pulse Recovery Druid skill that uses the power of nature to activate the target's vitality and natural restorative abilities. While in effect, the target is surrounded by a glowing green aura and recovers their HP every second for 15 seconds. The restore approximately is 20% of one's HP in 10 seconds. The effect last for 70 seconds. COST 15MP

*Bug's Light: This Druid spell produces a source of light in the shape that vaguely resembles a firefly, allowing the caster and allies to see things in the dark. This magic is equivalent to Magic Light of Mage classes. COST 0MP

*Willow Spirits: The Druid caster creates branches and vines to bind an enemy. It has the same effect as that of Astral Bind of an Enchanter class. COST 15MP

-STATUS UPDATE-

LUC 620-650

"5 new skills…that is a surprise?" Leon scratch his forehead from what he received was a surprising gift. "Do I gain more skills the more classes I obtain?" Leon asked the mirror a very important question.

"Depending on where you're at, the rewards can also grow. But accomplish feats can also reveal new rewards for one's own effort." Magic Mirror spoke with rhyming riddles on the question Leon wanted to know.

"Well, now I just need to…" Leon was pondering how to go about using these things when… "Hmmm?" A shadow flew over Leon's head which made him look up.

Without warning, a strange bird was flying around Leon and made chirp sounds. While it sounded like nonsense from a bird, thanks to a blessing Leon obtain, he could understand what the creature was saying.

"What's that? An old man is hurt and stuck on a mountain when he was hiking?" Leon asked this as the bird nods it's head to confirm the response. "Looks like our break is cut short." Leon turns to the Magic Mirror before packing a few things into the wagon.

"Do tell?" Magic Mirror simply asked to hear about this.

"Well, someone is in trouble. I don't know who, but…Doesn't feel right to leave them be." Leon shrug off his shoulders to admit he wants to help whoever needs it: it be wrong to ignore it.

"Does thou not wish to find others to help in this endeavor?" Magic Mirror raise an eyebrow to question the more logical path then rushing in blindly.

"I'm still trying to finish exploring the unknown regions since it's been almost three days when said farewell to Snow White. We haven't reach any locate town yet or passed by anyone at that?" Leon explained the matter revolving around the current situation: in fact his map skill shows they are far from where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs area but they are not near any local public spots. "This will just take a moment, besides they may know where we can go next. After that, we will continue." He informs the mirror spirit on just trying to be helpful, and maybe saving the old man in trouble can tell them where the nearest town or village might be.

"Bold words, but words filled by one's own reflection in their heart." Magic Mirror replied on seeing the type of character Leon again displays. "Do what you believe is right, and perhaps you will find something rewarding for thy heart warm effort." The spirit gave these words as something to help Leon realize the path he takes is one he makes as his own.

Leon shrug off from the Magic Mirror's spirited words of wisdom of riddles before pulling the wagon along. They followed the bird in question towards a mountain that reach high up where there was snow…

---

UNKNOWN MOUNTAIN

The scene opens to the snowy region up the mountain, where we spot a bird flying along the cliffs. And we spot Leon carefully walking up the path before coming to a halt at an edge. And there was the Magic Mirror tied to Leon's back by some vines to keep it secure during the climb. It's been several hours since Leon was going up the mountain, and now he finds himself uncertain where to go until a familiar bird comes by again.

"Where did you last spot the old man?" Leon asked the bird for directions, and the creature flew further upwards. "Hmmm, just pass this point. Five feet above us, thank you." He replied in thanking the bird for the assistance.

"Your skills from the princess' gift do not go to waste, truly something so rare to be found." Magic Mirror comments on Leon doing well with Princess Blessing – Anima, to understand animals to such a way.

"Yes, well…I have to admit, knowing how to understand animals and talk to them is an incredible feat." Leon lightly smiled from thinking the blessed ability he got is indeed a wonderful thing to have. "And hopefully what Snow White gave me can help us further down the road." He stated on wanting to see how hearing what animals have to say may prove helpful.

"The road ahead will be rough, but everything you come across may aid you down the path." Magic Mirror spoke with rhymes on what other things Leon can expect to find on the path he forges.

"Yeah, I just wish…Uurrgh…" Leon groans a bit as he was seen scaling up the rocky cliffs to reach the next ledge. "Urgh, that I didn't have to carry you in this tricky climb. But…Hmmm…" The guy was complaining since he had to carry this big mirror up a tall mountain which weights a lot. "Uurrgh…leaving you behind means I'll lose my guide." He issued from reaching a flat spot while knowing he shouldn't risk someone stealing the mirror if he left it while Leon went mountain climbing.

"Appreciate thou I am, realizing one's need over one's want is a sign of good judgement." Magic Mirror declared on giving some praiseful thought on such an action. "But do not wary, you've reach your destination. But be warn, this next step may take you higher then you gone before." The spirit spoke with a strange riddle on what the guy best be prepared for.

Leon was about to ask what the Magic Mirror meant, but that was put on hold when he spotted something buried under snow and debris. It was likely an avalanche occurred, and there was an old bearded man with specs for glasses in a blue robe trapped. Leon immediately rush over to help, he summoned the Crystal Warhammer to swing and broke the debris to pieces. Freeing the old man from the extra weight, Leon carefully helps him slide against the snow while he regains consciousness.

"Oh thank you, I thought I was gonna die up here alone?" The old man thanks Leon for the save.

"Sir, don't move, I'm getting you out." Leon instructs the old timer while bringing him away from the accident site.

"Wow, you're something else?" The old man rubs his head from observing the weapon Leon wielded to free him.

"Are you hurt?" Leon asked from checking for any broken bones or bruises.

"Nah, I'm good. Nothing these old dogs aren't use too." The old man brushed off with a smile across his expressed face: but Leon examine to think maybe the old guy lost feeling in the leg.

"Okay, it's a long way down but…I think I can get us there safely." Leon looks over the cliff to determine how he'll safely get himself while carrying a heavy mirror and an old man down the mountain.

"Tell me, how did you know I was in trouble?" The old man struck up a conversation without warning.

"Let's just say…A little bird told me." Leon lightly smiled to use a line he's always wanted to use from the films.

"Ah, in that case…" The old man spoke from finding that answer satisfying. "Your skills are far more out of this world then most men could dream of." The way he spoke was something that made him sound a lot younger then an old man would behave.

"Hmmm?" Leon looked back, as if something was off here.

"Well, I say this counts as a pass." The old man stood up to brush himself off the snow while congratulating Leon.

"A pass, what are you…?" Leon was lost by what was going on here: and then was shock when the old man stood up with a leg he assume was broken.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not actually injured." The old man revealed a twist of the truth here. "But you get an 'A' for Effort on your character performance." He smiled while looking and giving good judgement to Leon.

"Just a second, you're fine? Who are you?" Leon was taken aback while trying to understand who this old man was.

"Oh plenty of time for that, right now we gotta go upstairs." The old man issued on where they need to go next from here.

"Wait, you still wanna go up the mountain?" Leon asked from thinking the old man was talking crazy.

"Oh no, not this mountain." The old man stated on wanting to clear up the slight misunderstanding on the topic. "We gotta go up beyond a normal mountain. Hold tightly and don't let go!" He smiled when explaining this last few things.

"Wait, what are you…" Leon was confused as the old man approach him…

Suddenly the old man forces him and Leon off the cliff of the mountain, and they fall from several hundreds of feet in the air.

"ARE YOPU CRAZY!? WE'RE FALLING OFF A MOUNTAIN!?" Leon screamed at the top of his lungs, trying to figure out what to do if he should cast a wind spell to save them.

"Just sit back and enjoy the ride, we'll be there soon!" The old man

Before Leon could even cast a wind spell, the old man surprised him when they went from going down, to upwards. And then they were moving incredibly fast, so fast Leon was barely processing things. And things became a blank in an instant…

---

NEW LOCATION: MOUNT OLYMPUS

The scene changes to what seems like a staircase leading up towards some golden gates with thunderbolts design on them, pillars across the sides and with cloud decorations above and around the bottom. In fact as Leon came around to find himself on the stairs with the old man, but saw how high up they were. The entire scenery was straight out of something that one place instantly came to mind.

"Wah-wha…What just happen?" Leon held his head from regaining himself. "Am I…standing on a cloud? And standing before a golden gate?" He looked at where he was, and was almost putting two and two together. "Please tell me I'm not dead and gone to heaven?" This definitely felt like one of those type of things but…

"Close, but babe, you gotta relax." The old man spoke with some young surfer tone in his speech now.

"Excuse me? Babe?" Leon raised an eyebrow, something about this doesn't make sense.

"Whoops, was suppose to stay in character. But we're pass that. Let me get comfortable here." The old man exclaimed from realizing it's better to be honest at this point.

Suddenly the old man had magically changed by a magical light and when it faded a different person appeared. A small and lean in stature blue skin man. Wears a golden helmet donned with white wings, small circular glasses with purple lenses, a short white toga, and blue sandals with white wings that give him the ability to fly. In addition, carries a golden staff with wings and intertwining serpents.

"You-you!? You're…" Leon was utterly shocked and surprised with widen eyes at what he was seeing.

"Late introductions, sorry about that. Names Hermes, God of Travelers, Thieves, and my known title as Messenger Of The Gods!" The blue skin man exclaimed to hover in the air by his winged shoes to shake Leon's hand. "Now follow me inside, oh and please wipe your feet. We just got the clouds cleaned up." The guy asked for a favor to not drag any dirt when going pass the gate.

Leon was beyond stump that he had a hard time processing what was going on, but while getting up to calm down…the gates opened. And soon Leon shed his eyes before staring at something that left him breathless. Pass the golden gates was an entire structure kingdom made of clouds with some more solid then others, it was like an island floating in the center with water vapor clouds pouring off sides like rivers into the clouds below. There were even building homes located below while above the were tall cloud regions to canyons, and at the highest mountain climb was a structure almost fit for a ruler to be in. It was truly a place of wonder, Leon couldn't believe it but this was the real Olympus from the Disney Film Hercules, and that means the residents here are likely the Greek Gods. After walking a bit to arrive at some cloud, Leon yelps as Hermes pushed the said cloud to reach the tallest structure peak, and the cloud vanished to enter some place housing a large table meant to seat many official Olympian Gods.

"Ahahahah, welcome back Hermes!" A loud male voice was heard boosting for joy. "I see you brought a visitor with you." The voice issued upon Leon's presence at the time.

Now Leon instantly froze when Hermes guided him towards someone sitting at the head of the table before getting up to walk towards the guest. A tall and buff man with peach skin, long white hair that goes past the shoulders, and a triangular beard. Wears a one-shoulder purple toga that goes down to the feet and has blue lightning bolt hems. Does not wear any shoes or sandals and has a purple sash with blue lightning bolt hems pinned over the shoulder with a medallion resembling a cloud with a thunderbolt.

"No way, I must still be seeing things from the fall experience and everything else I'm seeing?" Leon was utterly unable to process if this was real or not. "You are…" He was about to say but his words were cut off…

"Heh, you guessed it. I am ZEUS! GOD OF SKY, JUSTICE AND LIGHTNING! AND LORD OF OLYMPUS!" The big man proudly and boldly introduced himself in that long monologue. "And we been expecting you Leon Lionheart." He smiled to rest his hand on Leon's shoulder.

"You….you know my name? The almighty Zeus?" Leon was flabbergast by his name that came from the almighty god.

"Well of course I know! Aren't I the all mighty and all knowing? Ha-ha…" Zeus laughs while gently patting Leon's shoulder once but he flinch, that is some strong gentle pat.

"Well to be frank, I happen to spot some cool cat dishing out some magical vibes when I was flying pass Germonia." Hermes flew over to speak up about the situation of what was happening when Leon first arrived in Snow White's area. "And if that ain't all, I spotted who he's got as a crazy tagalong." Then Hermes pulled a cloud which fixed it's self up to reveal the Magic Mirror: Leon gasped as he had forgotten all about the spirit from his arrival in the land of the gods.

"HAH! Is that the Magic Mirror? How you been?" Zeus laughs off from seeing the magical spirit in the mirror.

"The same as last we meant, though time is unlimited, yours still remains as it was." Magic Mirror replied with the same dry tone expression even to an almighty god like Zeus' presence.

"Heh, still likes to go off with those riddles and rhymes I see." Zeus laughs a bit off from seeing some folks are still the same.

"You know each other?" Leon asked surprised, this was a first upon his Disney knowledge.

"As a Spirit, I have been around. So knowing those older then man, is not a question of doubt." Magic Mirror replied on having answered such a question.

"Yeah, well…I'm still trying to figure something else out here?" Leon held his chin to ponder a thought on processing what's happen.

When Leon was beside the Olympian Gods, it was a rare sight especially the characters he seen on Disney films and the show about Hercules. While trying to understand them, a thought cross Leon's path on wondering how strong these gods are level-wise. The curious thought was too much to pass up, and so Leon used his ability to determine how strong Zeus was. A magical scroll appeared with information alright, but what was written was a shock:

Zeus Lv. 99+ (Unable To Proceed)

Title: Lord Of Olympus

Info: The mighty ruler of the gods, Zeus controls the universe and presides over Mount Olympus, with the power to control thunder and lightning. While the Disneyverse is very massive universe filled with untold worlds across time, space and reality, it's hard to say if Zeus controls all of it or just some portion. But make no mistake as anyone who is both a king and the most powerful of the Olympian Gods is a sign of authority to be wary of getting under his skin for less he wipes out all his enemies or imprisons them for an eternity.

Warning: Due to current level, unable to view the full scope of character's stats beyond Level 99.

Leon rubbed his eyes in shock at what he saw, and then tried again with Hermes. However the same result appeared again about one being over level 99 and one couldn't proceed to see pass that limited range.

"How is it that I read their levels at 99, but it says it's 99+ and this intel saying I'm not able to perceive their full strength?" Leon asked the Magic Mirror for help since he has never hit such a road block.

"Just as there exist a difference between an ant and a dragon, so too is there a distance of moral limitations that one has yet to gauge the full strength of those before thy self." Magic Mirror spoke with another rhyme with a riddle that held a clue for Leon to understand the hidden meaning.

Leon suddenly became almost unable to process so many emotions coming up at once. There was excitement yet fear rolled into one. If there exist a level pass 99 and one can go over Level 100, the reach is unthinkable. In most game related subjects level 99 or level 100 was the max, and only Multi-National Online Games everyone on Earth could play grant access to reach almost double or triple the 100 digits. If this was true, how much stronger could Leon get before he can be capable of rivaling an Olympian God. But at the same time, what about encountering those that are enemies of the same stature. Especially the really powerful Disney Villains that Leon has yet to face.

"Well now, I suppose you're wondering why you are here Overworlder." Zeus was then seen interrupting Leon's thought with some small chat.

"You know about me being an Overworlder?" Leon asked surprised, first the Magic Mirror, and now Zeus himself. "Could…could the Greek Gods themselves been the ones who summoned me from my world?" He wanted to know if maybe these powerful characters of the Disney universe may have brought him.

"Oh sorry kid, sadly that's not our doing." Hermes cringed a bit to deal the bad news on the table.

"Not your doing? But, who else could be powerful enough to do so?" Leon asked from not sure who else could have done such a thing of bringing the guy from his world to this magical plain of different Disney series.

"Well I may not have the answers, but surely Faith has it's reasons." Zeus scratch his forehead from feeling the answer may come in due time.

"But hey, maybe 'The Faiths' did the deed, but hey, who can say?" Hermes shrug off his shoulders on speculating on those they know that deal with the faith of all things, etc. "What we know is that a prophecy foretold of someone who come and join us. And you are giving off vibes that mortals don't give off. But hey, I'm not judgy Leon babe, every cool cat has got a sweet vibe that's right up there alley." The guy flies backwards doing the back stroke while explaining these things to Leon.

"Okay…" Leon raise an eyebrow from having heard this. "So, what am I doing here?" He wanted to know, why else was he here at all.

"Well it was said that you could help in ways no God could ever do. So it's only fitting, that we give you support." Zeus smiled on proudly explaining what they wish to do for the young man.

"Su-support!?" Leon yelps upon having heard those very words. "I-I-I don't know what to say?" This was huge, getting support from godlike beings is a super rare treat.

"Do keep your jaw from dropping Leon, the sweet deal is nice. But you gotta hear the whole shebang!" Hermes flew over to gently close the overly excited Leon's drop jaw a bit.

"Yes, as Hermes said, there is a catch to what we can do to support you." Zeus spoke a bit serious before Leon remain calm to hear him out. "I mean, if we went and gave mortals our full support, can you imagine all the complaining we get?" Even to a mighty guy, the issue of endless complaints would be a nightmare; in fact some gods might get so feed up they silence those complainers in a brutal way.

"Ah, I see what you mean?" Leon cringed slightly on knowing how that sorta treatment, might get out of hand.

"Well normally mortals offer us gods tribulations, mostly for good harvest, safe travels, or wishes to be granted to make them or others special." Zeus explained the typical measurements of what they do when mortals offer things and wish to ask for something in return. "So, for you Overworlder, you must pass a test to receive special rewards from us. And we're calling it…TRAILS OF THE GODS!" Zeus went forth and reveal with wide arms and big booming voice of something prepared for Leon.

"Ohhh yeah, can you dig it! Lov the name Zeus babe, really adds on a flare, am I right?" Hermes did a little dance and jiggle from getting into the groove.

The news struck Leon as this was not just big, it was something huge like a golden opportunity that came knocking on the door. Perhaps since he has already experienced the gift of level-ups and received rewards for completing certain quest. The idea of completing a trial by the gods may produce rewards that could be the greatest and rarest treasure of all times. They could be like powerful items like armor or weapons, or unlock new abilities to which what Leon currently has seem normal.

"So Leon, are you ready to take the test?" Zeus smiled as he crossed his arms, awaiting the young man's answer.

"Well, I think…" Leon was about to respond…

"Woah-woah, hold on there! Let's not start the party too soon?" Then another male voice interrupted the scene that sounded a bit up on the moment.

That's when something erupts in the middle of the ground, appearing as a puff of black smoke. When Leon was busy coughing a bit, as the smoke cleared he saw who he was in the presence of. A male figure who has blue skin and blue flaming 'hair' and the eyes are completely yellow except for the black pupils, plus has very sharp teeth and an unnatural black mouth. The face is quite long and thin, with the chin jutting out abruptly. The fingers are long, thin, and clawed. Wears what appears to be a dark grey shirt underneath a black toga, the latter of which seems to be held up by a small skull pin on the right shoulder. The feet are not visible, due to the length of the robes.

"Hey, I hope I'm not tarty to the party!?" The blue man with the flaming top and sharp teeth made a joke and chuckled. "HADES, Lord Of The Dead…is in the HOUSE!" The guy introduced himself with his flaming flashy action.

Leon was completely frozen in shock when he expected the last thing he would meet is a famous Disney Villain like Hades. This guy was like a major known face of evil next to the other popular Disney Villain faces over the years. And not to mention when he saw the guy, tried to get a reading but the same warning appeared as a red flashing pop-up screen:

-ALERT-

Hades Lv.99+

*VILLIAN DATA - RESTRICTED*

"Recalling my experience with the Evil Queen, this is possibly similar but with one known major fact. The level output is most likely the same as Zeus, I can see pass Level 99+ here. Which means fighting this villain would lead…to a serious problem?" Leon spoke these words in his mind on knowing that this would be one villain to stay clear off for the time being.

"Oh Hades, why did you have to go and show up now?" Zeus pouts a bit from seeing who came to spoil the moment.

"Come on big bro., you think I was gonna miss out of the fun that's happening when I'm not around?" Hades leans against his big brother to chat a bit and be all relax on being the guy in the center of a party. "So, this here's the little mortal you brought up to your humble kingdom, eh?" Then Hades walks over to inspect Leon from all sides.

"Not just any mortal, Leon is the Overworlder we been expecting!" Hermes explained just who it was they have before them.

"Expecting, yes…But high-expectation, ehh….kinda on the low." Hades was measuring Leon while acting like the guy was not the –impressive' type they were hoping for. "I mean, don't get me wrong here, but this guy doesn't scream…impressive." Hades waved out his hands to say his two-cents on seeing Leon was nothing compared to the gods in the room.

"Now Hades, the boy just got started. He's already settle a kingdom problem. Why he's about like my son Hercules, being a hero." Zeus smiled to boast on seeing Leon was almost like watching his own son in action.

"Yeah, like your little sunny boy?" Hades mutters this under his breath, which was a pitch of annoyance and sarcasm. "So while Herc is still in school and still training, you decide to have someone else do the hero thing on the side?" The guy makes a light joke about how Zeus was going to leave a few least heroic stuff to his son.

"Wait, your son's in school?" Leon asked from hearing this all of a sudden.

"Yes, well…my wife believed an education was what our son needed. But he's still training to be a hero and rejoin us Gods by being a TRUE Hero!" Zeus shrug off his shoulders to sheepishly admit the truth before becoming boastful and proud the next.

Leon absorbs these words to understand what's going on here so far. It likely seems like the events from the film he knows about what happen to Hercules as a baby has already happen. But knowing Hercules is in school sets Leon to believe the boy is likely in his young teens age which was set for an animated TV series on Disney. These things were happening so fast, it's almost difficult to match what events are happening all at once or are playing in a clockwork motion, it's very high advance thinking power.

"Somehow this info ties closely to the TV Show, which means that if the film count I know is going by order, then perhaps some events are occurring before the Disney film's appearance?" Leon muttered under his breath in trying to make sense of what he is dealing with right now. "Hugh, it's a bit complicated, but I think in this universe, if the order was right…I'm well over possibly 47 other Disney Films before Hercules but they are using a cross between connecting both film and show? This sorta thing may require more time processing then I can imagine?" The guy was really stump on how to process this information without getting anything mixed up.

"Hey, hello…anyone home?" Hades then waves a hand over Leon to break his concentration. "Okay, now that I have your attention. Since Zeus says you're special, then I wanna see if you got the right stuff." Hades smiled to proudly make a request here.

"Um, you mean the trail test?" Leon asked from knowing what Hades was talking about.

"Yeah, those little trail test. Tell you what, I'll also participate in whatever reward my brother had plan to give, and make it worth your attention to partake." Hades smiled while selling the merchandise to wow a customer to buy what he's got selling.

"A reward better then what is arranged? What are you saying?" Zeus protest from having heard this right.

"Come on Zeus, you know that mortals are greedy, and if they are risking life, limb, etc.-etc., then we gotta make it worth their wild!" Hades pops near Zeus to state his claim on knowing that nobody works for something for free: that's just nonsense if there's no reward involved. "I mean, what reward were you originally gonna give the kid? Hugh, go on, tell me?" The guy was literally pushing Zeus' buttons to spill the beans.

"Eh well, depending on the god he passed the trial, they receive a blessing…I think?" Zeus rubs his chin to state the answer on what the special reward was.

"Yeah, a blessing is nice and all." Hades lightly brushes off the topic as if it's uninterested. "But we gotta SPICY it up! Or do you want mortals to say that we're cheap?" Hades issued on knowing when they gotta give something that puts the wow in what you get from a god.

"Ohhh, he's got you there?" Hermes flies near Zeus' shoulders to feel that Hades was onto something.

"So listen Leon, I'll add my TWO Cents into this reward thing." Hades leans over to hug Leon into a shoulder lock. "You let me PICK a God I want you to overcome their trial, and if you do great. Then I'll offer you…"Hmmm….its on top of my head, let me see ah…" Hades was busy trying to think and tap his head: then he grins as he swipes the flames to make a ball of fire. "AHHh, THIS! A FIREBALL!" He presented the burning flame sphere for Leon to gaze upon.

"A Fireball?" Leon looked to Hades when he revealed this special goodie.

"Yes! Can you do it?" Hades smirks to then ask if Leon can do something like this.

"Well, no…I only have some Wind and Thunder spells?" Leon shrug off from knowing the only elements he's got are just two, no fire at all.

"Then this is your lucky day, stick with what I got and just imagine it." Hades spun the fireball on his fingertip to dazzle and wow Leon. "You can BURN your enemies to cinder, reduce forts to rubble. And did I mention it's a great way when cooking your meals." Hades described the perfect methods on how the fireball can do all these things. "And considering you got magic, I'll tone down the matter where you can call it with just 5 percent. Pretty sweet, right? I just gotta add one itty-bitty-tiny detail…" Hades was truly selling the fireball skill and only wants one thing in return.

"Which is?" Leon raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit skeptical on where this may go.

"If you fail….you work for me…FOREVER!" Hades exclaimed on showing that evil grin: if Leon fails the trail then he works for the Lord of the Underworld.

"Now Hades, isn't that going TOO Far!?" Zeus protest from knowing that is taking things too far.

"Come on bro., I mean if this guy is the one, shouldn't he know the risk." Hades exclaimed on wanting to impose his sense of reason if they withhold such consequences of failure. "But, if he's not ready to take on the challenge, then…we can just call it quits and go home. And he can try again, hmm…maybe 10-20, 30 years from now?" Hades simply smiled to pretend to give in while secretly leading on the heavy loss if one pass this chance.

Leon felt like for once, he was in agreement with Hades.

"Alright, I'll do it." Leon looked up with determination on his face.

"Hugh!?" Zeus yelps in shock on what he heard.

"YES!" Hades pumps his fist with joy when Leon accepts the risk.

"But, on the condition that you both agree what is fair in both the trail and the rewards." Leon interrupts on having a condition he wants to be fulfilled.

"HAH! Good one Leon!" Zeus smiled from seeing the young man was smart enough to not be completely suckered into Hades' generous offer without a plan. "Okay, so if he wins, then I'll PERSONALLY grant him a reward to beat Hades' Fireball with an item from my collection in the Olympus Vault." Zeus explained what he will give to Leon as a special reward if he passes.

"Woah-woah! Bro., you're gonna give him your good stuff? The stuff you never let any other god use and be all look but no touch. Even to your own brother?" Hades felt like that was just being completely unfair.

"Okay, I accept." Leon replied forth which made Hades cringed that the arrangement was settled.

"Perfect, then let your first trial – BEGIN!" Zeus smiled to boldly start the first event.

That's when Zeus snapped his fingers as lightning bolts zapped the group before vanishing on site.

---

MOUNT OLYMPUS

AREA: TRAIL GROUND

Then from another flash of lightning, Leon appeared in some cloud coliseum. And then he spotted the three gods on the royal balcony observing the entire event.

"Ugh, okay-okay, so after working out the little 'details', selected a god to pit you against." Hades held up his hands to state on what they did to prepare before arriving. "Oh, but before that…." Then Hades snaps his fingers to instantly summon the cloud that carried the Magic Mirror.

"Hey! My Magic Mirror!" Leon protest from seeing what Hades just did.

"Sorry, this challenge is for you, NO Magic Guides. Even the magical types, hehehh…I crack myself up." Hades grins to laugh off at the unfortunate downside to Leon facing a problem alone.

"Don't worry Leon, you'll get him back when you finish this." Zeus smiled to safely assure that the mirror will return to the new owner after this event is settled.

"Alright, so…Who am I taking the test from?" Leon asked from not seeing anyone around.

"That be….him." Hermes points to the area of where Leon should face.

Leon looked to find a strange slightly muscular built man all purple skin, white hair in a puff top fashion and blue eyes. Wears a navy blue toga, a red medallion with the word 'ME' on it in white lettering, and attach to a short magenta color cape while the medallion is place center above the chest area. Has shinning white teeth, 11 spiral chest hairs, and carries what looks like a dark handheld mirror. Suddenly a magical pop-up screen appeared with details for Leon about this person:

-Challenge Quest: 'Struggle In Vanity'-

*Narcissus 'God Of Vanity' Lv.99+*

God Difficulty Rank: 1 Star

Quest Info: A God of Vanity who loves himself so much he looks at his reflection all the time. He is always seen holding a handheld mirror to look at himself from day and possibly night. The trail's challenge is to make certain Narcissus does not see his own reflection in the handheld mirror he carries for 5 minutes. Afterwards the trail will be concluded…

"What!? I have to get him to not look at a mirror for 5 minutes?" Leon raised an eyebrow a bit stump and surprised: this doesn't sound as terrible as he thought.

"Good luck Leon!" Hermes called out to cheer Leon on. "Heavens' know you're gonna need it, that cat is almost ALWAYS got his mirror by him 24/7 even when he sleeps." Hermes explained the case on the type of god who loves to see himself more then anything.

"Alright kid, show us what you got!" Zeus pumps up his fist to get Leon eager to get this trial started.

"The trail will be over in 1 HOUR! Get the mirror away for 5 minutes, and you win. Easy, right." Hades explained this with a cocky smile on his face. "And if you fail, then no biggy…I got other plans for you. Big plans…hoho…" He let off a low laugh as he rub his hands together; thinking up an evil scheme.

Leon began to suddenly sweat from realizing that if he doesn't –pass this trial, then he can forget the adventure. He knows Hades, and having to work under him for an eternity will not be a good thing. So it's best to find a solution right away. Course the challenge before Leon is not an easy one no matter how you slice it.

"I've been through death-defying dangers, but this one may actually pose a threat?" Leon muttered out from seeing Narcissus being so unguarded and careful to look at himself by his handheld mirror. "I have to keep a god that loves himself from looking at a mirror? And this is suppose to be easy?" The guy was really racking his brain to figure out the answer to this one.

"Tick-tock, better get moving." Hades pretended to tap his wrist as if time was ticking and Leon is running low.

"Okay, gotta think…what should I try?" Leon looked away from the distraction to focus. "I'll try to take the mirror, see how that goes." The decision was made, the only way to win this trail is to do as it requires.

With a plan made Leon channels Lightning & Wind but focuses them on the body to try to help give him a speed boost. And then with a split second Leon dashed with all his might towards Narcissus while he was focus on his mirror. While the God of Vanity was mesmerized with his reflection, he did not pay attention when Leon grabbed the top of the handheld mirror to yank it away from him. And in mere seconds after Leon rushed to flee, did Narcissus realized he…wasn't seeing his reflection and had a shock expression. During which Narcissus didn't notice Leon perform Windlash to create a dust cloud to block vision.

"Yes! Got it!" Leon cheered from having obtain the mirror. "Now to keep it away for…" The guy was running to be fast and with the dust from the whirlwind he made, that sound buy him time to…

"WATCHOUT!" Hermes yelled out to warn Leon.

"Hugh?" Leon turns around only to gaze in shock at Narcissus instantly closing the gap to catch up to him. "CASTLE OF STONE!" He shouted as his body glows to become marble and bracing for an attack with his best defense as yellow light surrounds him.

"SLAP!" Then Narcissus dealt a simple slap hand against Leon while retrieving the mirror. "POW!" Leon crashed against the cloudy walls that were disrupted, and was found lying on the ground: at the same time Windlash was completely undone.

"Ooooooohhhhh….THAT'S…GONNA LEAVE A MARK!?" Hades cringed slightly from having witness a mortal took a heavy blow from an angry god: not to mention from a god who doesn't like not seeing himself might tick him off.

"Cough-cough..." Leon was seen coughing while slowly pushing himself up; just as the effect from Castle Of Stone completely worn off. "Okay, stealing a mirror from a god and being faster then them…BAD IDEA…" The guy finally stood up only to yelp from aching pain coursing through him: which was a shock considering he shouldn't have felt it. "Urgh, if I didn't activate ? in time, there's no telling how bad that would have been? Still, this proves it…even my best defense might not withstand a god's blow even if just a slap, I need to raise my level to be lucky to endure more then one?" Leon ached but knew that he has to keep going, still this enlightens his view on how strong those pass Level 99+ are that even the bravest must feel cautious.

"Hmmm…Hermes, what are the chances he can pull this off?" Zeus held his chin with worry on how the situation was looking.

"Honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath?" Hermes shrug off his shoulders to admit his thoughts on a mortal winning this. "But hey, maybe he'll surprise us." He tries to perk things up by looking at the brighter picture.

"Ugh, good thing I got a heal ability now, still…" Leon groans as he was quickly performing the Heal ability to recover a bit. "Taking on a god with a mortal body is a risky act, I need another plan. But what can work here?" Leon was against the wall, he's barely pass ¼ of reaching level 100, and the opponent is way stronger.

Leon immediately tries to analyze things to form a plan. The foe is an Olympian God with which comparing the knowledge he knows about Narcissus from the Disney film version and one from old legends of his world. And in many of them, the God of Vanity was known to love himself when seeing his reflection. The only key to victory is to keep the opponent from looking at himself, but easier said then done at this rate…

"Stealing the mirror I can't do if he'll just chase me again to take it back? So blinding him will just have to do!" Leon muttered from having put together a different plan to try and gain victory here. "ASTRAL BIND!"

"Yes! That's the way Leon!" Zeus cheered in seeing Leon try something different then just brute force.

"Ugh, will the guy actually do it?" Hades slightly cringed from seeing some mortal actually gain ground just now.

"Grr…" Leon groans from feeling the power difference as Narcissus was about to easily break free. "I need more pressure…I need to use more then one type of bind spell…" The guy issued on clearly seeing that he has to perform multiple types to restrain even one god that is just a lover then a fighter.

Leon struggles to apply more binds to restrain Narcissus, and so he quickly starts doing so. Leon already performed Astral Bind, and tops off with Willow's Spirit as the plant vines applied the same restrain force. With these two bind spells, Leon forces the hand gripping the mirror away from Narcissus so he won't see himself. Yet even as Narcissus was feeling the binds, he pulls his right arm with the mirror to smile as he still sees his gorgeous self. The god was hardly feeling like he needed to bother with such things so long as he looks at himself without worry.

"Uurgh….he may not be much, but he's stronger then my current strength!" Leon moans from the struggle at how even someone that is not a major big shot god can still be this hard. "Then let's try a Debuff applied with an electric stun effects!" The guy decided on applying even more measurements to help completely change the flow of things.

That's when Leon began to apply some helpful buffs and debuffs to help turn the tide even so slightly. Leon performed Nightmare Sphere to slow the target's action as a purple sphere surrounds Narcissus. Leon even channeled the Lightning Bolt move through a free hand to cause a slight stun effect. So far that caused Narcissus to feel a slight tingle, but weaken his muscles to allow the plant vines to move his hand holding the handheld mirror down. The god was worried but somehow his body was not moving as he wished since he didn't pay attention to what Leon was doing the whole time.

"Well now, haha…would you look at that?" Zeus smiled in seeing that Leon was looking like he was inches away from victory.

"Yeah, give it too him Leon!" Hermes cheered to fly up and give a little twirl staff and dance. "Oh, nothing personal Narcissus babe, just rooting for the underdog you understand." The guy had to quickly say to make sure there is no hard feelings between gods.

"Hmmmm…at this rate, the kid might just win?" Hades rubs his chin to mutter under his breath; worried how things will go at this rate. "Unless…" Then Hades had a devious grin on his face, he hatch a wicked plan.

"Hermes, how long has it been?" Zeus asked the guy near him on the time.

"3 minutes, just another 2 more and…" Hermes check on how long Leon has kept Narcissus from looking at his mirror, a little more and the guy passes…

"HEY NARCISSUS, IS THAT A RASH ON YOUR CHEEK!?" Hades yelled out to alarm the god of something that might ruin one's looks.

That pretty much set off Narcissus when having heard something that both shock and frighten him. Then a strange godly aura enveloped him before without warning, the aura implodes. That canceled the purple sphere and the two bind spells from the powerful wind shockwave that spread across and made contact against Leon.

"GAAAaughh…" Leon yelps from falling across the field, completely overpowered and his bind spells removed.

"Ouch, good plan, not so great execution?" Hermes yelps from having seen how that playout back fired real fast.

"Hades, why did you do that?" Zeus looked to his brother for having ruined Leon's near shot at victory.

"What, I thought the guy had an allergic reaction to the guy's little plant vine? Can I help if I feel consistent?" Hades tap his chest to plead and pretend he was showing a caring side for others.

"Consistent, bah…" Zeus rolled his eyes in having heard Hades say such a thing. "You knew that he reacts if even the slightest thing is out of place. You know he's sensitive to his looks." Even Zeus knows how much Narcissus reacts to such remarks that would hurt his feelings if he was not handsome.

"Oh well, nothing we can do about that." Hades shrug off his shoulders to just let the ball roll from here. "Better keep watching bro., looks like I'm gonna win this." He smirks from knowing that he'll win when Leon loses.

"It's not over yet Hades!" Zeus protest firmly on disagreeing on Hades' statement. "Come on Leon, show us what you can do!" He muttered from watching to see if the young man can show his stuff.

"Ohhh…." Leon slowly pushes himself up with his sword in the ground to lean on after recovering from that shockwave burst: and looks to see Narcissus still happily admiring his reflection. "Fighting a God is pointless, even if I was Level 99, I probably couldn't win. I need something else?" Leon exclaimed from hating to admit it, but every trick proved futile even against someone least active like Narcissus. "Ugh, looking at my reflection shows how messy my situation looks, doesn't it." Then Leon looks at his sword that shows how dirty he appeared from everything that happened. "Wait, reflection? Reflection…" Leon pauses a moment when looking at himself and back at Narcissus, as if he had something that connects the two. "I GOT IT!" He shouted from having realized the answer that was in front of him this whole time.

"Ohhh, he's got something." Hermes replied from looking excited on seeing Leon's expression.

"Yeah, well it better be good. Cause he's got like half an hour left. Which to say the first half hour was pretty exciting, heh…know what I mean." Hades smirks to lightly tease that it's gonna be tough for anyone to recover from this.

"Hey Hermes! Can I ask for something!" Leon called out to the one who deals with messages.

"Hmmm….? Oh, well ugh…sure, what do you need?" Hermes was a bit flabbergasted but he was down to hear what someone wanted.

"Hey! Come on now, you can't go ASKING another god for help to take on another god in question!? It's against the rules!?" Hades protest from thinking Leon was gonna get another god to help deal with a problem a mortal can't win against.

"I hate to agree, but Hades is right. We can't fight your battles Leon." Zeus sadly shook his head from having to be the tough and firm ruler on knowing he can't bend the rules like that.

"I just need Hermes to pick me up something. He's a messenger, right, so he can go and pick up things fast, right?" Leon explains his reason for what he was wanting Hermes to assist him on something small.

"I'll allow it!" Zeus boldly spoke up with a proud and prideful expression. "It's technically not another god facing another god if they are delivering something the opponent wants. So it's not against the rules, Hades." Zeus turns to smirk in knowing this was something the Lord of the Dead can't protest against such a request.

"Ugh, fine…whatever. Noit like it'll make a difference." Hades pouts to let it go without worrying how it'll matter in the end.

Leon then whispered something as Hermes flew to him and heard it all. Hermes replied a bit from hearing everything on the hush-hush note before Leon was all finished. Hermes then left in the blink of an eye, and then after five minutes later, he return with a sack full of precise crystal gems. And also flew back to bring what appeared to be some smelting cauldron, a large stone cube and some other craftsmen and blacksmith materials.

"There you go babe, everything you asked for." Hermes replied on having accomplish his task.

"Thanks. Let's hope this works, or I'm sunk!" Leon stated as he began to quickly get to work.

"Hey, what is he doing?" Hades raise an eyebrow from seeing Leon was cooking up something but not sure what it is.

"I don't know?" Zeus scratch his forehead from being confused as Hades. "Hermes, any ideas what Leon said he wanted all those things for?" Then Zeus turns to Hermes who return to their balcony stand, and hoped the messenger could fill in the blanks.

"Yeah, he only told me to bring him a hunk of pure crystal that's as big as you Zeus and some other tools. But even I don't know what the dealo of the order is, you dig?" Hermes shrug off his shoulders from being as lost as anyone of what Leon was thinking of doing.

Time was going by as Leon was melting the large number of crystals into their liquid form. During which he broke the stone cube in half, then used the crafting tools to break some center to make it hollow, almost enough for a person to fit halfway in. After a while, Leon had already finished pouring the liquid crystal stuff in the tied up split stone hunk. Soon as one check the time, 20 minutes passed with almost 5 minutes left.

"Hey Narc, I got a present for you." Leon called out to Narcissus to hear him. "What do you think?" Then Leon pushed the two stone hunk halves away that made dust.

When Narcissus turns with his mirror to stare at himself but peaks at what the fuss was…his eyes almost stared in surprise and shock. For there was a crystal marble that resembles Narcissus himself, right down the letter, and it glimmer beautifully. Narcissus approach to study the crystal sculptor and was fascinated, enough so to see his reflection to put the handheld mirror down which Leon took.

"YES! He did it! He got him to stop looking at himself." Zeus cheered from witnessing an unbelievable feat.

"WHAAAAAT?!" Hades screamed in shock as his flames erupted from this action. "How is THAT not looking at himself?" Hades turn to Zeus, recalling the challenge was to have Narcissus not look at his reflection: the reflective crystals count as reflection.

"Well technically, the trail was to keep Narcissus from looking at his handheld mirror reflection. Nothing in the rules said about him looking at a crystal version of himself which was also reflective. You dig…" Hermes pointed out the loophole in the rules set and how what Leon perform was not against breaking any regulation.

"And…TIME!" Zeus looked at the sundial as it kept track of the time until an hour passed. "FIVE MINUTES ARE UP! LEON HAS PASS THE TRAIL!" Zeus proudly roared out loud for all to hear this announcement.

Leon signs with relief on realizing that he passed, which is very good news to hear. And then a familiar pop-up window revealed some surprising news to him:

Wasn't long before Zeus and Hermes walked over as Leon sat down for a brief moment to rest himself. Then with the event done, the Magic Mirror was poof close to the group. After all he just survived his first trail, and Narcissus was still happily admiring his crystal statue as it reflected many images of himself to see more times over.

"Well done Leon! You certainly have proven your stuff." Zeus smiled to congrats the young man on a job well done.

"Pant, thank you…Lord Zeus." Leon wipes the sweat off his forehead, knowing it was a close call.

"And hey, Narcissus even wants to bestow a gift for giving him such a radical gift." Hermes smiled to elbow Leon on the major shock on what's going on. "And believe me, he rarely does this." He muttered this to Leon on how rare the god who loves himself gives such things.

"A gift, what kind?" Leon asked from not knowing what he should expect the God of Vanity to give him.

"Oh, you'll see." Zeus smirks to issue on knowing precisely what will happen.

That's when Narcissus was done looking at his beautiful crystal statue to then appear to Leon before obtaining his handheld mirror. Then before Narcissus could look at himself, he had his mirror look to Leon…and a flash of light enveloped the guy. When the light was over, Leon felt a strange purple flow of magical energy that sink into his body. And then a special magic scroll pop-up with an announcement:

-God's Blessing-

*Healing Factor*

Info: A blessing given by Narcissus, the God of Vanity. The power to rapidly heal at a level beyond that of the average human being. Narcissus always loves to see his beautiful and handsome self without spotting a single thing wrong, so this small blessing applies regeneration for accelerated, exterior and internal functions for the body. Applies a recovery of HP, MP, and stamina if very low. Thereby allowing one to slowly heal faster what could take some mortals weeks or months depending on injury. Caution: There maybe some critical injuries or ill effects that this blessing can only cover so much for the time being especially when one is a mortal and not a stronger species race. An important fact is that the higher one's level is, the stronger and quicker the healing performance does.

"Wow, I guess I was not expecting something like this to heal my injuries naturally and not use up my magic as much in the process?" Leon was somewhat surprised by these new features, they are not what he expected but who can argue against the God of Vanity's blessing.

"I know it's not much, but believe me. It's something." Zeus leans down to whisper this to Leon on knowing the gift will prove handy in some pickle for a young adventurer's journey.

"Yeah, if you scratch yourself and folks stare, you be thankful for this." Hermes issued on knowing how folks tend to react to the slightest notice out of place, so this is a blessing in it's self.

"I guess….that makes sense?" Leon scratch his back head to feel that he has to agree on that argument.

"Now Hades, I believe YOU have something to give?" Zeus looks to Hades who was sulking in the corner and trying to not be apart of the celebration.

"Yeah-yeah, I'm doing it." Hades brushed off the calling and came over to Leon while in a bad mood. "Well it's rare for me to lose." Hades proclaim this as a professional opinion on his standures. "Usuaully nobody gets to live to tell about it." He muttered off silently with chip lips on revealing he hates losing. "But here you go, one Fireball ability right up your alley." Hades summoned a fireball and then tossed it over to Leon.

Leon yelps to catch the fireball, but yelps from realizing he caught something that would burn him. Yet nothing happen and slowly the magic fireball slowly drifts to sink into Leon's chest, and a strange red glow came off his body. That's when a magic scroll appeared again with another news update:

-UPDATE STATS-

REWARDS: Obtain New Fire Spell Skills

Unlocked A Second New Fire Spell Skill

**SPELL SKIILLS:

*Fireball: Cast a fire attribute magic spell. Channel a force of flame through one's hands or weapons.

"Thank you Hades, for the gift." Leon replied in thanking Hades, which is weird to believe. "And don't be sad, I'm certain the next trail you wanna help make it harder for me, will be more challenging." He decided to joke a little but also tried to be on the flaming god's good side.

"Oh really, you want MWUH to put you through a Life or Death situation?" Hades raised an eyebrow from finding this, strangely intriguing even for him.

"If the rewards are worth enough, I might just do it." Leon spoke with some upfront confidence to Hades: course this is to calm the god down so he won't burn him alive for the time being. "After all, fire can be a powerful tool in knowing where and when to use it." He issued as he cast the Fireball spell and began to perform a juggle act.

"Dahhh, you're just trying to butter me up, now aren't you." Hades lightly smiled to almost feel bashful on what the mortal was saying to him. "You know what, maybe Zeus is right about challenging you. I know that I'M certainly looking forward to the next few times we meet, it'll be a killer moment." Hades taps his fingers to grin at Leon on what he's thinking about he'll do later when they meet again: of yes indeed.

"Ugh, right…" Leon sheepishly smile with a nervous expression as he put out the flaming spheres when being overshadow by Hades.

"WHELP, hate to pop-up and run, but hey….the Underworld business waits for no one." Hades shrug off his shoulders to happily prepare his exit at this time. "So bye-bye…Now…" He waves off with a cheeky tone and a little hand wave. "POOF!" Then in a large puff of black smoke, Hades was gone in an instant.

"Well now Leon, you certainly know how to sweet talk my brother to let you go like that. Usually he can be a real hothead." Zeus issued on having witness such a quick act on the moment: he stops before realizing something. "HAH! Hothead! Ohohohoho, where do I come up with these things!?" He burst out laughing at the funny joke he made on the spot.

"It's a mystery babe." Hermes shrug off on how one can never know how Zeus does it, but just goes along.

"Okay, now onto business. I believe I promised you a fare something." Zeus approaches to pat Leon's shoulder for a moment on remembering his promise deal. "Follow me!" He signals for all to follow where he goes.

Soon a flash of lightning bolts enveloped everyone and they appeared in a new location. It was some special golden doors with the Mount Olympus symbol logo on them. When Zeus pushed them open, inside was a very well solid construction of clouds and creek style to resemble a large palace chamber. It was filled with display objects, items, weapons and armor the likes that could be-wow anyone on witnessing the special treasure collection that was here.

"Welcome Leon to my special collection - THE OLPYIUS VAULT!" Zeus waved his arms out to present the special section that only few ever get to see.

"Woah?" Leon was literally surprised by what he was seeing.

"Choose anything that you want, and it's yours. But remember, I'm only allowing ONE item! So choose wisely." Zeus explained the case while being strict but gently firm on what he's allowing.

Leon slowly walks around while the Magic Mirror was kept close by riding the magic cloud close to the guy. We see that Leon inspects all the things in this special vault, and most likely couldn't believe it. It was like finding a secret treasure stash of high level items and gear from an RPG Game, he really hit the jackpot on what the gods had that no human could ever have. The problem was, there were a lot of red pop-ups with some alarming news:

-Warning: Item Cannot Be Obtain-

Info: Level Too Low To Handle.

-Alert: Armor/Weapons Unable To Equip-

Info: Not Meant To Be Used By Mortal Beings

-Caution: Species Restriction-

Info: Only Non-Humans Can Handle Product

"Magic Mirror, what should I do? All of these things say I need to be over a certain level or are restricted against mortals using them?" Leon looked to the Magic Mirror for help, since his chance to obtain something great is restricted by these pop-up announcements.

"The collection here is truly as great as the lord before you, only those of near equal value can wield such things." Magic Mirror explains the topic with it's rhyming riddle speech. "But do not be discourage, not everything is out of your reach." The spirit issued these words as if there was hope yet to be found.

That puzzled Leon since almost everything cannot be acquired due to major restrictions since everything here maybe too much for a mortal to wield. But then as Leon continued to look around, there was something on a pedestal in a case that held what looked like lightning bolt. And for the first time Leon saw a pop-up screen with a message that was in the clear blue.

Zeus' Thunderbolt (Defective)

Info: During the dawn before time, Zeus requested Hephaestus to create him a weapon. Thus did he create Zeus' thunderbolts to aid the God and provide him with an endless supply. They possess electrical shock on targets and sometimes there are those with the power to seal or destroy anything in its path, truly befitting a weapon wielded by the King of the Gods. However not all thunderbolts were perfect, the first thunderbolt ever made had a defect of where it was suppose to destroy a target, but the effect of when was random from minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, to even years. Thus it was unsuited for Zeus to wield but another defective error was that it was not restricted for only gods, and so even mortals can wield this weapon.

Hidden Clue: Unknown to even the Olympian Gods, if one can channel a large amount of magic can help speed up the time to cause the destruction of a target.

"Zeus, what about this one?" Leon asked with a smile to point at the glass case holding the thunderbolt defect.

"Oh, oh that, well…um…" Zeus was a bit puzzled and stump at seeing this. "That was one of Hephaestus' earlier made thunderbolts for me during our early days?" The man explained briefly on recalling those old days.

"Your early days?" Leon raised an eyebrow to pretend he doesn't know.

"Yes, well…it was suppose to SMITH an enemy instantly, but…" Zeus shrug off his shoulders from when it came to explain the next part of the tale. "The timing was completely off. Could happen in minutes, could happen an hour, could've been a day or a week late. It was Defective with a Random Set on when a target that wasn't a God or a Titan would be obliterated." Zeus explained the power behind this defective lightning bolt which had the power, but lack on when the ability is triggered.

"I see, still…it does look like it could help me out. May I?" Leon request if he can have the thunderbolt weapon.

"Well, I hate to just let you have a defective product…doesn't sound like something the King of the Gods should give to the Overworlder?" Zeus rubs his beard from thinking this gift doesn't sit well for the special guest to receive. "I got it! Hermes!" Then he smiled before calling someone nearby.

"Yes!" Hermes flew up to salute on being called in.

"Fetch me some stars scattered around and a torch from Apollo's sun, I got an idea." Zeus instructs the messenger god on what he needs.

"Righgt oh, be back in a jiffy!" Hermes issued before zipping off in the blink of an eye. "Hi!" Then the guy returns almost a few minutes later.

"Wow, that was fast?" Leon exclaimed on how fast Hermes can really go to just about anywhere in the world.

"I got the stars Zeus, each little bit from around the globe." Hermes issued on showing a bag filled with star dust powder. "And Apollo says hi by the way for the torch from the sun." Then he pulls out a lit torch in his other hand: which the flames came from the sun it's self if you can imagine that.

"Okay, now let me see…A little bit of this…" Zeus was beginning to work by first making the map Leon had appear before him: that's a magical feat. "A touch of stars…" Zeus poured the star dust all over the map as it glittered. "And of course the flames of a sun's new day…" Then heated the stuff over the flaming torch which dissolved the entire thing: but then a magical dust swirl around. "AND PRESTO!" Then Zeus generates his lightning power onto the sparks swirling as they form a new glittering blue paper map.

"What is this? A new map?" Leon asked from looking at the blank chart and saw nothing on it.

"Not just any map, this is a special map created by a God. And a bit of magic." Zeus smiled to proudly explain what sort of map this was. "Consider it an extra gift along with the thunderbolt you've chosen. With your ability, you can see the map with your hands or in your mind." Zeus revealed the extra surprises that were in store for the young man: which speaking of, a pop-up message reveal the details:

Obtain Key Item – Enchanted Travel Map

Info: A special magic map created by Zeus. Following the enchanted chart will know the path you must take and knows the heart. Having the skill jobs of Adventurer, Explorer, Scout, Prospector, & those related to mapping maps will reveal areas one has already been to. The map is magical to help zoom in on where one is currently at and where they need to go, so there is no worries of this enchanted item ever running out of space to fill in the unknown locations and worlds yet to discover: be it on the planet, hidden worlds, outer space, or another realm. Lastly there will be glow marks of areas worth going to that will help the Overworlder discover where he is and learn what one must do.

Leon was almost speechless on what he was possessing right now. A magical map maybe the best thing to have. And he also feels that this is familiar from other magical or enchanted maps he recalls from certain Disney films of the past. But certainly if the message was right and this is a Key Item type, then it's something Leon cannot part with as it may help him along the way.

"Well now, good luck to you Leon!" Zeus smiled to gently pat the boy's back, but even more gently then before. "I feel that you'll do great things. Why you might even help out my boy Hercules if he's ever in a stuck spot."

"I…be honored." Leon replied a bit overwhelmed, but felt like agreeing: especially considering when the time comes, he may do a lot of that if this plays both the TV Show and film version he knows.

"Okay Hermes, I'll leave his return to you." Zeus issued on signaling for the other god to take Leon back.

"Roger and okay, Zeus babe!" Hermes salutes and happily replies to the request.

Then before Leon could say another, Hermes zips around to pick up both Leon and the Magic Mirror and in a flash….were gone. Zeus watches the events while smiling, seeing a young new hero making his mark on the world: reminds him of his boy Hercules doing the same.

NIGHTTIME

MORTAL REALM

The scene reopens to where Hermes zips and drops Leon and the Magic Mirror into a wagon that was nearby. As Leon recollects himself, he realized the wagon was theirs but had been somewhat upgraded to having a roof and living area. It's almost like one of those travel wagons one has seen during medieval or renaissance events of traveling magicians or fortune tellers, etc.

"Ugh, man you really are the Messenger of the Gods, you move so fast I'm still getting use to it?" Leon held his head from feeling a bit woozy from the whole experience.

"What can I say, these shoes were made for flying." Hermes flies backwards to do the backstroke in midair. "And by the by, I did stop by to bring your cart to old Hephaestus and have it remodel a bit." The guy stated on the little something done, just so Leon has a more comfy time traveling.

"Woah, after getting another look, this cart is now more like a travel wagon?" Leon yelps from seeing the fancy-up new travel arrangement. "Where are the horses?" He asked to look around and saw nothing to pull this huge wagon.

"Yeah, sorry…unavailable at the moment. Apparently we can't give you 'too much' freebies, you understand." Hermes shrug off the shoulders to quote the matter on what they should limit on helping mortals to a certain area. "But no big Leon babe, I'm sure you'll get something to move this wagon." He stated to look around to try spotting something to haul wagon.

"Yeah, I think I might be hauling it." Leon rolled his eyes to sign on realizing what he has to do, only now it's made to be tougher.

"Ouch, well a little hard work builds character." Hermes lightly stated on seeing how that would be an unpleasant job but tries to lighten the mood. "And hey, who knows, we may see each other again." He shrug off his shoulders to admit that there maybe a plus side to everything.

"Again, I just completed the trail?" Leon raised an eyebrow when having heard this.

"Ah, you completed 'A' Trail from ONE God. There's still a 'TONS' of us to go around." Hermes quoted on the matter of there are more gods which means, more trails to be done. "So when the time comes, I'll come by to pick you up when another God wants to give you a challenge. Sounds good?" Hermes flies over to see if Leon is chill on the arrangement that's been made.

"Well if it's anything like the first one, I guess I can manage." Leon shrug off his shoulders to accept how the conditions are made.

"Oh, that challenge was hardly a tougher challenge. But for a mortal, you did well." Hermes shrug off the shoulders to reveal the truth on what awaits Leon…will be challenges much tougher then what he experienced. "Best rest up, until then…see you around Leon." The guy flies upwards in heading off now.

"Thanks Hermes!" Leon was waving farewell and giving a goodbye to the god; until Hermes flew back.

"Oh, before I forget, here's my portion as saying thanks for coming to my aid. May have been faking, but you did answer the calling." Hermes flies up front to Leon and hands him a sack of some sorts: apparently it's the messenger of the gods' token of Leon having first come to help when he was an old man stuck on a mountain.

Leon was curious so he opens the sack to discover that what as inside apparently was two large lumps of logs of a fairly large size. In fact they were apparently from the mid-section of a large tree that could almost be used as sitting chairs or something to place small wood logs to chop. But then a pop-up message appeared with some interesting info:

-Rare Item: Obtain-

'Divine Tree Logs'

Info: Grown by Demeter, a special tree with a divine magic within it's roots. When used to craft any item or object, even weapon will gain a special divine ability base on what it's made into. Mortals become obsessive in finding these special trees that grant special abilities that can make them near invincible when crafted special items: sometimes as accessories or vessels.

"A little something from what I luckily picked up on route, a once magically tree Demeter grew until the Titans caused a big mess. It was used to help during the times, and she supplies those that has outgrown in her realm to Hephaestus." Hermes explains the special divine trees that are grown and then use by the God of the Forge.

"Why?" Leon asked from being somewhat intrigue by this.

"Well Hephaestus has taken parts of it to make a few things, and wood from Demeter is always worth it's weight. Trust me, the wood is very high quality." Hermes explains the matter on how good the divine tree is useful when it is turn into something: and it's true, many great wood craft objects are rare treasures base on what they are made into. "I managed to obtain two logs from him, and thought you can craft something. Way Hephaestus explains it, when the wood is made really well, it gains some magical ability." He reveals a special trick in which if one does a good job, it will be something magical.

"Hugh, thanks Hermes." Leon smiled lightly to thank the guy for this surprise gift.

"Your welcome, good luck now!" Hermes waved off from being all too happy to aid.

With that Hermes was seen flying off into the distance skies. Leon could only look at the stars that glimmer, as he couldn't believe what he experienced. It was truly a rare event, dangerous, but still worth the effort.

"Well this has been very eventful?" Leon smiled from how things were very busy today.

"To true are thy words, when standing before a god, many fall behind. But the select few that remain are well remember in legends time." Magic Mirror explains the course with a rhyme that reflects his meaning.

"Well, may as well try the new map ability." Leon shrug off the shoulders, and pulls his new map: which magically displays his location and the place the guy was last at. "Woah, it really does line up with my current memory of areas I been to." The guy was mesmerized to see this former blank blue map chart display a well detail format of areas around them.

"The map will prove it's worth, but take heed. The undiscovered areas remain in mystery, so trend carefully for less you face something thou is not ready to encounter." Magic Mirror gave a firm but cautious warning on what Leon best be prepare against when continuing the journey.

"I'll remember that." Leon replied while studying his new magic map that showed him a trail to take a path towards a glowing marker. "Oh, it seems we're in luck. One of the glow spots here is nearby. It's called...Villaggio sounds familiar? Perhaps a village?" Leon read the words right yet he was intrigue to understand: what sort of place he's heading for and what it represents.

"Then let us make haste, for night begins to fall. And creatures of the dark may strike when least we expect them." Magic Mirror gives caution on needing to move before they find themselves overwhelm by unforeseen foes.

Leon couldn't help but lightly smile that if the Magic Mirror says so, then it's best to take it's advice. After all it's gotten Leon this far, and if there was danger to be wary of at night, after what Leon encounter, he needs to rest.

HOURS LATE AT NIGHT

LEON'S TRAVELING PATH

After several hours of hauling the larger wagon across the plains and trails, Leon was able to spot a town. Which was a good thing too cause he was starting to feel tired out from so much extra weight he's pulling. It was small but the village gave the theme of a seaside community, though seem ordinary and quaint, and without much activity.

"Hmmm, this place feels familiar to me?" Leon rubs his chin as he pulled his wagon into the empty village streets. "But with everything so dark, I can't tell?" True to those words, if it was daylight he may recognize any structure.

"Once you enter, the name will appear. And with that, your next adventure may soon begin." Magic Mirror revealed another clue behind his rhymes.

"Next adventure? In this sleepy little town?" Leon raised an eyebrow, uncertain if that was even true. "Yet come to think of it, this place seems familiar? Like I saw it with my parents long ago? Where have I seen this…" Leon tries to understand where he is, but the answer just wasn't coming to him. "Huugh!?" But then something began to click in Leon's head, the structure theme and of where he saw it when he lived in Disney World. "Hold the phone, Villaggio is Italian word for Village, and base on the location it's near the seaside. And the only place I can think of that matches the time of Disney films with one after Snow White was…" Leon was putting the pieces together, it was all coming back to him now.

"Take heed my friend, a magical event happens over yonder…" Magic Mirror cuts in to alert Leon of something important was taking place.

Leon was puzzled before spotting a blue light emitted by it's approach towards a simple shop in the corner. When Leon approaches it, it looked like it was a workshop, and the shop was filled with several elaborate clocks and toys. When Leon view the workshop window, there was something in the corner he recognize immediately.

"This is Geppetto's Workshop, that proves it. I know where I am!" Leon exclaimed from realizing when he put a few things together. "I'm now in the village where the main character was named in a Disney film – Pinocchio!" He revealed the name of the Disney film upon recognizing this precise location.

The discovery of this place also showed a blue light emitted inside the workshop. Leon yelps to hid by the wall and only glimpse at the window but couldn't see much. But he knows precisely what is about to unfold here, and decides to move away back towards his wagon cart. Leon remembers the film about Pinocchio, a wooden puppet that was brought to life by the Blue Fairy, and if he proved himself brave, truthful and unselfish, he would become a real boy. Just then a mysterious

-Pinocchio Quest-

'The Hidden Danger'

Info: The story of Pinocchio, the living puppet with dreams to be a real boy. This puppet is new as a little light, and there is darkness in those that take advantage of the innocent life when it's alone. You must secretly aid the puppet in times of need, and help in areas where even it's Conscious tries to help but the little voice cannot speak loud enough. But remember, there will be new dangers to be ready, if the darkness snatches the light the puppet's dream will never come true and the one who wished for a living boy will suffer untold grief.

"What the, this mission is…? Is this truly right?" Leon raise an eyebrow from receiving a major story quest after so long, but it's different.

"Thou must know, thy must be ready to play a role. And dread careful on acts one can do." Magic Mirror explain forth in rhyme the meaning behind the mission.

"Well yeah, if the story is going how it will be, it can't be helped." Leon shrug off the shoulders to admit this: especially considering what happens if he interferes. "Still this mission, is it for real?" He asked from knowing the task is not something he was expecting.

"Everything you seen and done has a reason for doing, this one will be no different." Magic Mirror proclaim the statement and stay true to his words.

"Yeah, but still…" Leon was still puzzled, Pinocchio is nothing like Snow White so why…

"Beware, we are not alone…" Magic Mirror suddenly spoke with an alert firm tone while looking in a general direction.

Leon suddenly turns to see something in an alley, and was somewhat puzzle by a figure in a red robe. But then his senses became sharp to feel…something terrible, and his magic sense saw a faint red aura emitted from the stranger. Leon secretly summoned his sword, but he did not move because whoever it was…just had his eyes on the workshop.

"A little light born anew, but it's host is very fragile…" "Blue Fairy, you're little gift of life, you hope will blossom. But even a little light can get lost…" "When it meets the Emperor of the Night…"

Suddenly the figure vanished in a strange flame corridor that enveloped him before it disappeared. Leon was beyond words, it almost looked like a thing Hades would do except that exit was not done by the Lord of the Underworld. Which means that whoever that was, is not someone that belongs in this village or in this Disney-verse.

"Who was that? He wasn't one of the antagonist from Pinocchio that I know?" Leon turns to ask the magical mirror for help on what or who they saw.

"Like before, the outside enemy has begun to move. They become bolder to appear before you." Magic Mirror issued forth in giving a warning of a new enemy that remained unseen till now. "Heed these words, the darkness may spread…For if the little light falls, so too will all those involve." He gave his message as clear as can be even within the riddle he rhymes.

"The little light, you mean Pinocchio. But there were never any major villains in such a story? Only small minor or medium types of the greedy nature, and just one wild ocean beast?" Leon tries to wrap his head around this, whoever they saw couldn't be one of the antagonist of Pinocchio's story…right? "Still, it's best to take a few steps ahead with this unexpected plot in development." He held his chin to form a plan he needs to take here.

"Then thou has a plan?" Magic Mirror asked from knowing what the young man was about to do.

"I do, but it's something I have to endure first." Leon issued on knowing what he has to do but he won't like doing it. "I'm gonna have to get a job as a low paid assistant to a puppeteer showman. But where can I find the target? I'm thinking the Red Lobster by the sea port, but maybe not since it's hard to say if he even goes there before his actual appearance?" Leon was scratching his head, trying to figure something out on what move to make in this situation.

"Think carefully, and the answer may appear. The beginning is where one began before approaching the middle of the plot." Magic Mirror spoke with riddles while cluing Leon in on a few more details that clicked.

"Well, I think I know from the character type and memory of areas here. That be the Village Square." Leon stated on having come to terms on the location and it's name. "That's where crowds gather at the heart of this village. So of course it's the perfect place for large busy crowds to assemble, and for those looking to make a profit would be too." Leon had it all figured out, for a puppeteer showman he needs an audience and the bigger the crowd, the bigger the profit to make.

"Then be on your way, the next part is up for you to play." Magic Mirror states on leaving the next move for Leon.

"Yeah, I'm gonna have to make up a story. Say I'm a merchant who was robbed and need to get work to make a living." Leon held his chin to think carefully on a perfect story to help cover his background without being checked. "Knowing who I'm asking, no doubt knowing the character Stromboli, will take advantage to make more profit for cheaper labor assistance." Leon knows the minor antagonist's type, only cares about making money and the less money they spend means more for them to keep as they are greedy that way.

"Thou must also display skills if one wishes to find employment." Magic Mirror spoke in rhymes with a matter that must also be focus on.

"True, Stromboli works as a puppeteer and showman, but he uses mechanical means, so I can fix equipment and maintain function. But to really get his attention, I need another push? Something he may find as a treasure he can get without paying a single cent?" Leon was busy thinking about this, what could be the biggest push to get him onboard. "Hmm?" Then Leon saw the sack with one of the huge chunk of divine tree medium logs sticking out: and that's when something clicked there. "And I think having an extra puppet specially crafted may come in handy, especially if one carved one themselves." Leon smiled from realizing what he can do, it's a bit shocking to believe but now he may have a use for his new wooden material.

Now Leon had formed a perfect plan to which it may very well land him a gig in Stromboli's puppet traveling show. Leon begins to move off by hauling his wagon with the Magic Mirror put away deep inside. And the scene begins to fad out with the next new journey of Leon's Disney Adventure travel was about to take a whole new meaning of unexpected surprises…

---

NOTES: While not technically in order of the first Disney animated films, the setting is matching for the TV Show version.

*Which while Hercules is still a young man going to school, gives chances to slowly prepare things. Especially the crossover of Hercules and Aladdin.

The Trail of the Gods is a special event theme inspired by the Olympus Coliseum from Kingdom Hearts game. It's almost like competing to complete challenges and events to earn rewards and face off against strong opponents.

*Though there maybe some different challenges in the future with different locations, and challenges that either require puzzle solving and/or defeating enemies. The rare chance of facing an Olympian God is very thin depending on the challenge.

**Example being Narcissus, not much known but someone who is still a god against mortals. And the challenge theme was simple (keep him from seeing his handheld mirror reflection). This sort of thing took time to figure what would be the least difficult, but still something that ranks a god challenge (which is why the Star meter label it as 1)

(Now in the future, there will be more Olympian Gods that will offer challenges, what they are, what the theme is, and how difficult is it plus the rewards. Now while I'm busy, ideas are open for anyone that has some thoughts. Like Ares having one challenge a tribe of Goblins and see if one can lead an army to victory. Artemis with a hunting challenge, Athena with some mind challenge that requires solving with wisdom being key. A meal that appeases Dionysus. A love challenge by Aphrodite. A crafts challenge by Hephaestus. Poseidon having lost treasure at sea obtain. Hermes with deliveries of messages, etc. Plus maybe some challenges in VS. some Demi-God opponents or some known monsters, or beat challenges from some active titans, who knows? The ideas are unlimited, and Hades, well…he'll try to make things difficult. And the Star ranking is also important. And who knows, maybe some of our favorite gods that gave a challenge before will appear again later?)

The God Blessing is something to think carefully on what almost matches the Olympian God in question, or sometimes they give abilities or items/gear as rewards if the trail is done.

*God's Blessing – 'Healing Factor' (The small regeneration ability to recover. (like in RPG Games when not engaging in battles and walking through areas))

Ability Rewards from Gods can also be something that holds some theme or related attribute. Example; Hades has fire for his theme of power, so the small reward Fireball is a starter. And there are better fire type spell/abilities to later be revealed in due time (some more powerful or more uniquely rare to discover).

The Enchanted Travel Map is like another version of the Enchanted Map from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish film.

Lastly the unknown villain within the Disney Pinocchio world will be revealed in due time, as there was never any major villain in the original version so this one is something special to discover in future chapters.

Things have gotten very interesting now haven't they? It's not everyday one gets to hang with Olympian Gods, now is it? But now Leon's journey continues with bold new stuff when living the story life of Disney's Pinocchio. Sure it sounds easy, but in a sleepy village there are times when unexpected events can occur. And when taking a job to prepare one's self for the encounter of a living wooden puppet when it's on it's merry way to school, and as the story plot goes…Pinocchio ends up in show business. And Leon tries to make certain the act of Pinocchio's debut goes well by working the mechanical function on Stromboli's set. But even times when the show is over, nothing is truly over when an actor can't even be allowed to go home and instead get thrown in a cage. And for Leon who feels unable to act when seeing things be unfair, how can he help Pinocchio escape especially when the puppet's hopeful escape by magic, is nowhere to be found? What can be done when Pinocchio feels he cannot trust anyone but his father? Perhaps with helpful aid by…another puppet? Stay tune to find out what happens, till then….enjoy…
