A Different Story: Hephaestus.

A change in history, no matter how small it may seem, could lead to the destruction of the line traced by the destiny. Hephaestus, the Ugly and Pathetic God of Olympus. The Greek God of Fire and Forge. A highly underrated and somewhat forgotten god, that is Hephaestus. But as mentioned before, a simple action can change the course of history. In this case, a series of events that culminated with the love of a mother overcoming the momentary anger and frustration. How much will history change because of this? That is a question no one can answer. ---------------------------------------------------------- English is not my mother tongue, nor do I have a mastery of its grammatical and syntactical rules, so some people who place great importance on those aspects may not find the story entirely enjoyable to read. I warn from the beginning so that there is no misunderstanding with that fact.

A Few Words From the Author.

Well, before I start with the story, I will clarify certain points of the same in order to avoid any kind of misunderstanding.

First of all, as you may have noticed from the title, this story will be based on Greek mythology. So I want to make it clear that my intention in doing the story is not one of offense towards the Greek gods or even the ancient Greek religion or even the current one.

The story is simply for entertainment purposes, and in no way will it seek to offend anyone. With that being clear I will move on to the next topic being still about Greek mythology.

Those of you who have prior knowledge of it will know that there are many sources and authors who at one point of time wrote about the Greek gods. So, as such, Greek mythology does not have a straight line drawn that we could call as "canon". There are times when the words of one author are contradicted by the words of others, so it is basically impossible to have a clear line of events in Greek mythology.

This, let's call it problem, is not so difficult to solve, since as in all stories I will take certain creative liberties and one could say that I will create my own version of Greek mythology.

Now I also have to say that I am not a historian, therefore, I must admit that I do not have the full knowledge about all the documents, books, and passages related to Greek mythology, although it is possible that I know more than the average person because I like to read about the various mythologies that exist in the world.

But by no means do I know everything, so there may be cases where I get it wrong or intentionally make an event happen at a time when it shouldn't have happened.

So, I hope you keep that in mind and don't look for 100% fidelity to the classics. Because if you are looking for fidelity to them, then you will certainly not find it here, at least not completely.

Finally, I want to point out that this story will be a crossover with the DC universe, specifically speaking it will be highly inspired by the 2002 Justice League animated series. Of course, I will also take elements from the comics, movies, and other DC series.

Added to the above, I will also take certain characters and elements belonging to the Nasuverse centered more than anything in Fate, but it will not be a crossover with the entire franchise.

With that is all I wanted to clarify before starting the story and well, I hope you have not been bored to read everything and why not I also hope that all this text served to arouse your curiosity.

In case one of the points mentioned above are not to your liking, then it is better that you refrain from reading the story and continue looking for one that can be adapted to your preferences.
