Week one

[letsplayamod]

You've all met Athena, and she's made her point quite clear. She's fully committed to making this world better, and you're the ones who agreed to lend a hand. Something she's obviously quite thankful for.

It's really not so bad around here. Despite the sky, and the state of the land, things are fairly calm. You've got plenty of time to get used to it, and each other. Maybe this'll be easier than it seems.

[She's still suspicious. Aglaea's had to become such, over her long life and what she's had to deal with back home. But she feels a sort of... resonance. That makes her want to reach out.]

Your shoulders must be strong, to not bow under the burden set upon them.

[mygoodbye]

[Athena's shoulders tense ever so thinly. What strong shoulders they are.

There's a tiredness that slips into her words that not many others have heard.]

It's my own burden. I chose it, and I will see it through.

...I just wish I could grow some stupid plants.

[tailoredfate]

It's not simply your own burden.

[Flatly. Like she's talking to someone who just said one of the stupidest things she's heard.]

Even Kephale, the titan who bears the world on their shoulders, needs Aquila to guide the sky, or Georios to guide the land, or Phagousa to guide the ocean. A god may be all-powerful, but even a god cannot do everything on their own.

[mygoodbye]

[Careful, she's turned people into spiders for less than that.

Yet, she has to admit, there's something to Algaea's words.] I'm positive I have several siblings that would disagree with you. Our pride is... a dangerous thing.

[tailoredfate]

[Yeah and her and her companions have killed their world's versions of gods! The only time she's ever worried about divine retribution was with Aquila's threats, and that was more worried about the people than herself.]

Siblings. So you're a pantheon of multiple gods. If you didn't bear this weight alone when your siblings were still present, you shouldn't have to now, when there are new gods that might stand beside you.

Pride is a dangerous thing. But you were not too prideful to avoid asking for help from us with your initial offer. So don't let that pride overtake you now, when there are those of us still willing to help now.

[mygoodbye]

We are... a family, yes.

Unfortunately, while I have been swallowing a bit of my own pride, my siblings had... taken to my new desire with varying levels of acceptance. A few of them helped, in their own way.

I only met one other god who was willing to help me with this venture. But, even then, here I am. Scrambling to be my father, raising a pantheon of my own. [She shakes her head.] Perhaps I shouldn't be my father, and instead listen to some well-earned advice.

[tailoredfate]

You should.

[She nods, a satisfied smile on her face. Good, they came to an agreement!]

... But who is this other god you mentioned?
