<Prologue>

Deep within the sacred realm of Olympus, bathed in the ethereal glow of divine radiance, two mighty deities stood facing each other in the heart of a grand chamber. The atmosphere crackled with a mixture of disappointment, regret, and the weight of an unfulfilled destiny.

The voice of the older deity resounded with a profound sense of sadness and frustration, his words carrying the weight of centuries. "My child, my beloved creation, you have faltered and strayed from the path I had envisioned for you. Your reign has been tarnished by negligence, a lack of responsibility, and a disconnect from the needs of our mortal subjects. This is not how I had entrusted you to govern and care for the realm I hold dear."

The other deity, head bowed in deep shame, spoke in a voice filled with remorse and a longing for redemption. "I bear the weight of my failures, my Lord. The burdens of power and the seduction of control have led me astray, clouding my judgment and causing me to lose sight of my true purpose. I have become a mere shadow of the benevolent ruler you had hoped for."

Silence, heavy with unspoken truths and shattered dreams, filled the chamber. The older deity sighed, his heart heavy with disappointment but still holding a glimmer of hope. "It is clear that a change is needed, a turning point in the course of Olympus. Our realm requires a new ruler who will govern with wisdom, compassion and an unwavering dedication to the well-being of all who dwell within its borders."

The younger deity, his gaze filled with a mixture of determination and regret, nodded solemnly. "I accept the weight of my failures and the consequences they have wrought upon our realm. I will step aside from the throne, humbly acknowledging my shortcomings, and devote myself to finding a worthy successor. I will seek out an individual who embodies the virtues I have failed to uphold and possesses the strength to guide Olympus towards prosperity and harmony."

As the deities prepared to part ways, the older god's voice carried a note of warning, tinged with a sense of profound sadness. "Zeus, my wayward child, remember the gravity of your task. Find someone truly deserving of the crown if you disappoint me again. I shall not hesitate to unleash my wrath upon Olympus, wiping it from existence. May the chosen one embody the virtues we both hold dear and lead our realm to a brighter future."
