Chapter 1 The Son of Pathos

Chapter 1 The Son of Pathos.

Pathos, the God of Illusion, Dream, Nightmare, Night, Despair and Darkness, a being that was the embodiment of darkness itself was one of the most powerful deities in the ancient Greek pantheon. His abilities were unrivaled, and his mastery over the realm of dreams and illusions made him a force to be reckoned with.

According to myth, Pathos was believed to be the grandfather of Nyx, the primordial goddess of night. His power was so immense that he was able to bring eternal darkness upon Olympus, causing even the mightiest of gods and titans to tremble in fear. The mere mention of his name was enough to send shivers down the spine of any mortal or deity.

In a desperate attempt to combat Pathos and his overwhelming power, the gods and titans formed an alliance, an unusual occurrence given their longstanding feud. They knew that the only way to stand a chance against the God of Illusion was to unite against him, no matter how unlikely that may seem.

Despite their best efforts, Pathos proved too strong for the combined forces of the gods and titans. However, in a surprising turn of events, Pathos made a deal with Olympus, promising to end his attack on the realm of the gods as long as they agreed to respect his domain and not invade it.

The reason behind Pathos' aggression towards the gods was Zeus' attempt to control him. Zeus, the King of the gods, had ordered Pathos to do his bidding, but the God of Illusion refused, citing that he had complete and full domain over the realm of dreams and illusions, and that no one, not even the gods, could control him.

Pathos' control over dreams and illusions was something that was highly sought after by both mortals and gods. His power allowed him to create the most vivid and realistic illusions, drawing in his victims and trapping them in a world of their own creation. His control over nightmares and despair was equally as potent, causing even the bravest of warriors to tremble in fear.

In conclusion, Pathos was a powerful and feared god, with complete control over the realm of dreams and illusions.

His aggression towards the gods was a result of their attempt to control him, and his ultimate victory over them resulted in a deal being struck, where he would agree to end his attack as long as his domain was respected. Despite his fearsome reputation, Pathos was a deity that was highly respected and revered by mortals and gods alike.

As Pathos gazed upon the young child with his piercing eyes, he could sense an air of familiarity about him. This was his son, a child born of the God of Illusion's power and his own domain over dreams and illusions. It was said that Pathos had many children, but this one was different. There was something about him that set him apart from the rest.

Despite the child's young age, he exuded a sense of calm and composure that was rare even amongst the gods. His violet hair and eyes were a testament to his lineage, and his unflinching gaze in the face of the most powerful being in the Greek pantheon was a testament to his strength.

"Unfazed and unchanged. The fruit of my labor and blood."

Pathos' voice boomed through the chamber as he addressed the child, marveling at his lack of reaction. He knew that this was his son, as only a child born of his own power and domain would be able to stand before him without fear or trepidation.

The child remained stoic and unmoving, a mere observer in the presence of the God of Illusion. It was as if he was waiting for something, but what that was, Pathos could not discern.

As the silence in the chamber grew, Pathos began to sense a shift in the air. The child's eyes began to glimmer with an otherworldly light, and the God of Illusion could feel a change in the realm of dreams and illusions that he had never felt before.

It was as if the child was tapping into a power that even Pathos had never known existed.

The God of Illusion was intrigued, and he could not help but feel a sense of pride at the thought that his son may have inherited a power that was greater than his own.

As the child continued to stare at him with his piercing violet eyes, Pathos felt a sense of respect and admiration for this young deity.

He knew that this child would one day be a force to be reckoned with, and that he would be proud to call him his son.

In conclusion, the meeting between Pathos and his son was a testament to the power of the God of Illusion, and the potential of his offspring.

Despite his young age, the child was able to hold his own in the presence of one of the most powerful beings in the Greek pantheon. The air of familiarity between them was palpable, and the potential for the child's power was clear. As father and son stood in the chamber, the realm of dreams and illusions shifted around them, a testament to the power of their combined domains

"My child..."

Pathos spoke these words with a sense of pride and anticipation in his voice. He knew that his son was destined for greatness, and that he would one day be the key to his ultimate victory over the other gods.

The child listened intently to his father's words, his violet eyes flickering with understanding. He knew that he had a great responsibility placed upon him, and that his father was counting on him to fulfill his destiny.

Pathos reached out a hand and placed it upon the child's head, his touch filled with an otherworldly energy. The child felt a surge of power flow through him, and he knew that his father was imbuing him with a portion of his own strength.

The God of Illusion continued to speak to his son, his voice echoing through the chamber. "You have the power to transcend the boundaries of this realm, to reach out and touch the very fabric of reality. You are my son, born of my power and my domain, and you have the potential to become even greater than I."

The child nodded, his eyes blazing with determination. He knew that he had a great destiny to fulfill, and that his father was counting on him to be strong and powerful.

Pathos smiled down at his son, a look of pride and affection in his eyes. "Remember, my child, that the power you wield is greater than any other god. Use it wisely, and one day we will rule the pantheon together, as father and son."

"For now I want you to enjoy your day as a child, do as you seem fit, I put no restriction to you, do what you want. But remember I will not come to your aid when you are in trouble, you need to face the challenges ahead of you, only then will you be able to tap the full potential of your power."

For the first time Pathos revealed a smile and with his hands, he patted the young boy who remained unflinching, he let out a chuckle.

With those words, Pathos vanished from the chamber, leaving his son alone to ponder his words. The child knew that he had a great task ahead of him, but he also knew that he had the power and potential to fulfill it.

As he stood there, surrounded by the swirling mists of the realm of dreams and illusions, the child felt a surge of power within him. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, reaching out to touch the limitless potential that his father had spoken of.

And in that moment, the child knew that he was destined for greatness, and that he would one day fulfill his father's dreams of ruling the pantheon of gods.
