The Fall of The Gods
The humans were slowly growing more dependent on themselves as countries like Rome set out to conquer the world in the name of Christianity. Though the down fall of the Gods was in part their own fault, all but Hades, Posideon, and Aries, who more did the bidding of Zeus as needed to keep out of the others, especially Zeus's games and twisted ruling of humans. It wasn't hard to see it coming. Humans were smart, and innovative, they found ways to grow and become less dependent on the Gods. They found ways to rid themselves of the Gods for good. The rulers of Rome made alliances with Satan himself and in exchange for their empire they unleashed a most powerful demon to take down the Gods. Zeros, the demon could be any being of his choosing to accomplish his agenda, and he could change at will. He was pure evil, as one by one he sought each God and put them in their eternal prison. The center of the earth. He wasn't picky on his way either, He trapped most creatures that humans today only think are myths, legends.
Vampires and werewolves were most successful in escaping the extermination. They were used hiding and moving to not be discovered. They weren't exactly protected by any God but their own Goddess, the moon Goddess. The vampires had no protection like the elves but themselves and seemed to disappear on their own. Zeus, Hades, Artemis, Aries, Hermes, Luna, and the demigod Hercules were all that were left and knew it was a matter of time before the old world was over. So they had gathered on Mt. Olympus. The king of the elves had been invited. It was the best plan they could come up with. Hades had the least to worry about he would just be sealed in his own underworld no matter where the demon put him, he was already in the belly of earth. Luna stayed true and no one knew really where she resided, she rarely had much to do with the others. Hermes would go with the elves, he would sort of be free, the elves would not say where their home was and Hermes would only know enough to get back the few times he would need to leave. Zeus, Artemis amd Hercules would stage the killing of Aries. Zeros was coming. THey had to act quickly. The king of elves along with Luna began an ancient chant.
The elves had the oldest and purest of magic and Luna had the magic witches and wizards and such tapped into. They blessed and cursed Aries. He was to be the first hybrid Lycan werewolf. Lycans already existed but they were a wolf, they were bloodthirsty war wolves, Lycans were Aries creatures, so naturally it made sense to use them as a model to make Aries a werewolf. The chant was finished and an elvish blade appeared. Elyisian the king of elves, then cut Aries hand and his blood dripped on the heart of a Lycan wolf. Luna cut Aries other hand and pressed his hand to his chest. He was to stay just like that until Zeus would kill him with a lighting bolt. Artemis and Hercules were to fend off the hoards of Zeros so Luna, Elyisian, and Hermes disappeared and Hades had just left to the underworld.Aries would stay as if dead for 9 days, then awake in shifted form as his Lycan wolf. It was so quiet all they heard was their own breathing, then chaos began.
From the Temple of Zeus below olympus somewhere on an island in the meditarranian the sounds of evil attacked the temple. Humans had gathered in hopes Zeus would save them Zeros and his army advanced with no mercy nothing lived before them. The screams of death filled the throne room. Zeus let out a deep breath and said, "It's begun, the end is here." He nodded as Hermes left with the elf king and Luna. Hercules and Artemis stood before the great doors. They looked back to see Zeus raise his bolt and point it at Aries. The doors burst open, and Zeus with a heavy heart and much regret launched his bolt, true to aim it went right through Aries's hand and into his heart, dropping him instantly.
Aries oddly felt nothing. It all went black. Zeus, Artemis, and Hercules simply got to their knees and waited for their banishment. And it came and went. Zeros seemingly accomplished his task. His mistake they had planned on him making, he most certainly made. He couldn't resist, he had wanted to kill Aries himself so he thought he would take a token of his death and pulled the bolt from Aries's chest. As planned it trapped him as well, it exploded upon his grasp and blast his very being into minute pieces to be scattered about the earth by the wind and the sea. Zeros wasn't destroyed but if one knew what a piece of him was he would only have as much power as the holder of the piece could handle. With that the world grew quiet, people realized they got their way no more Gods, they were gone and olympus without Zeus simply blew with the wind like a big cloud, Aries was along for the ride.
Nine days olympus floated aimlessly, and Aries body began a violent seizing. He grasped for air as his bones broke and hair grew and he shifted into the very first Lycan werewolf. In full wolf form he was huge 7 feet at the shoulder and jet black with dark red streaks and darker red eyes. He stepped to edge to find himself above a small mountain. As good a place as any he jumped to highest peak. Being a God Olympus would stay were he left it. So it hovered above that peak. As Aries spent his years as only a wolf, he spent seven years raoming the area as a wolf, making a plan on how to go about his life as a God but pretending to be a human and being a werewolf. He knew the world was different now he simply watched humans adjust and change the world to theirs.
Aries for the next one hundred years built himself quite an empire, having the wealth of olympus the stealth of a wolf he became the entrepenuar known as Arien Black.
