So, the gods have fallen, and the mortals are barely hanging on, this place that they made as their base, is called New York City. Am I to save these things? From what exactly? The monsters that roam the Earth are no threat, why are they hiding? I guess I should head down and ask around. I flew closer to their border, once I passed over, I felt that there was indeed still Magic in this world, which is not good for me.

Sirens went off and a bright light blinded me, once I could see, there were humans, gods and demi-gods looking up at me, at the forefront was a god I did not expect, Hera was holding a sword, next to her...He looks familiar. Jet black hair, sea green eyes, when I was punished, the Creator sent me images, he was one of them, but the Creator never told me the names of these beings.

The frontline that looked ready to defend this settlement readied their weapons, expecting a fight, the rest looked afraid. Their weary faces told me they have been through hell and back, even for gods to look like this...What kind of war did they go through?

"Who are you?!" Hera shouted, she may have lost a lot, but she kept that demanding attitude, "With the gods down here, with humans no less, I assume Olympus is no more?" I asked and slowly flew towards them.

Not answering her seemed to anger her, "Answer me!"

I guess I should answer since I need to know what happened, "I have no name, but I was granted a title from the one who created me, I am a celestial being." Hera stood there contemplating what I said, 'is it true? Is he lying? What are his motives?' all necessary thoughts, I looked past her and stared at the young demi-god, "You seem to have lost more than anyone here...What is your name, who is your parent?" I questioned him.

Those eyes, although he has given up on everything, something is giving him hope, keeping him sane. It's not just this place, as I examined him, there was something behind him, a smaller...Human? Ah, now I see, he now has much to lose, although he already lost everything it looks like he will die for them before he loses another he loves. "I am not here to harm you, I am here to rectify my mistakes." I explained.

"Your...Mistakes?" The young man asked.

Hmm that seemed to anger him, "Yes and no, let's just say I am not the only one at fault."

Where did that weapon come from? In his hand was a sword, there is only so much grief a hero's soul can take, and his is full of it, all he wants is to unleash it...What to do? I am here to help them, but everyone here is anxious, the air has changed around us, I no longer feel like I'm being attacked. 'Creator, am I to take all of the blame so these things can finally grieve?'

Everywhere was grey, the sun could no longer shine upon the Earth. That is until the Creator answered me, he is cleansing the sky for a moment light touched the surface for the first time in years, "Fine, yes, I failed to stop the human world wars and was punished, if I had stopped those wars, I could have stopped the war that killed the gods, demi-gods, and humans." I purposely left out information.

The hero's rage was impressive, I actually felt like I was in danger, the only time I feel like that is...Oh...I get it, I worded it poorly, so I am to fight him. As of now he is a celestial, at least for the time being. He charged alone, and Hera stopped the little ones from following the hero, "Dad!"

A punishment is a punishment, I can only defend since I do not need a weapon. He is a hero for a reason, I barely dodged his first attack, every other attack I deflected, I guess while I left him take his anger out on me, I'll take a look at the others. He was moving at in-human speeds, yet everyone looked like they wanted to jump in and help him, my eyes could see more than even the Creator allowed me to. There were a few of them that are on the verge of becoming heroes. The hero and I fought for quite a while, but his temporary blessing was close to ending.

I hate to do this to him, but it's time to end this, "I think that is enough, this may be my fault, but I am not the one you want to fight to the death. Right?" I caught his blade and held him there. "I am not your enemy."

His anger did subside, but not entirely, "As I said before I am here to-

I was cut short because I could see a beast leading a small army of two thousand towards here. Huh, it's either my eyesight is going bad, or something is affecting me again, because those monsters were right behind me. The hero's eyes widened and the people behind him seemed frightened, "Strange, how did you get here without me seeing you beforehand? Even with my sight failing me, I still have my senses. Speak beast!"

"That's no beast...That is the Giant Orion..." I think that one is named Artemis, her face showed so many emotions, hatred, sorrow, grief and regret. Just then the god Apollo flashed in my head, Artemis and Apollo were twins, so this thing is here to finish the job.

"Before I send you to the underworld, answer my question, how did you get a small army here without me noticing?" I demanded.

Again, it ignored me, "I see, once a mindless beast, always a mindless beast." Let's see how much they can handle, "This is my first battle, and in a human body that has no limits!" Is this body feeling excitement? This isn't so bad!

I lifted my hand towards them, and they started floating, let's see, I guess five percent should do. Their bodies started twisting and then all of them, but the big one turned into gold dust. "You were able to survive that, how about another?"

As I was about to execute it, one of the gods yelled, "STOP!" Artemis...I didn't pay close attention to all the gods, but I remember that she had a code of some kind, "Do all the gods wish for revenge?" I asked.

Artemis clinched her jaw tightly and nodded, "If that is what you wish, then so be it."

I let the Giant fall to its knees, quiet to the end I see, Artemis walked forward and then a bow appeared in her hands, sweet justice...The bow was remade...Half-moon and half sun, silver and gold. How beautiful. She pulled back, wow...That's a lot of power, Artemis had a tear falling down her face, "This is for my brother!" Then she let it go, forget sending the Giant back to the underworld, she obliterated it.

I watched her carefully, feeling emotions is going to be something I'll struggle with, but even with being new to these feelings, I know right now, I am happy for her.

Thanks for reading!

Have a great day!
