Deus: King of Kings

The Deus had origins so ancient that time itself could not remeber their begninnings. They were the people of the Stars, rivalled only by the factions of Chaos and Order. In this Universe they had called home for eons, a storm was brewing between the three primordial factions. A war that could only be ended if a King arose, not just any King, but the King of Kings spoken of in the first oracle. So all three factions had sent their heirs away from the danger to grow, and when they matured, a battle of epic proportions would decide the fate of everything. Follow Titus, unwitting heir to the Deus, as he carves his name in the stars.

The Iliad

The story of Greece is a tragic one. Many cycles ago, the manifestations of Chaos set their eyes upon the newly born allies of Deus, the Olympians, upon infiltrating the Greek Universe, they set to defaming the Titans and depicting the Olympian Gods as cruel and irrational, stories of adulterous husbands and murderous wives defiled the Pantheon. Of, course the Titans did not interfere, they were peacemakers and lawgivers, not impulsive dominators, as no lives had been taken the Titans remained, angered yet tolerant, allowing the Olympians to grow and learn themselves.

That was until the Old moon Goddess Selene angered the Manifestsfion of Night with her purity, not a typical attribute of night Gods, she killed the Goddess Selene uncaring for any consequences, forgetting her fear of the Deus for they had been quiet far too long.

When she heard of this this, the manifestsfion of law sent the Titan Kronos of Time to help the Olympians rebuild their pantheon and their image, he destroyed the right hand of Manifestor Night, her favourite descendant, Fenrir. He helped the rise of a new Moon Goddess, even purer and more elegant than Selene to infuriate the Manifestation, aware that he could not physically attack due to the danger, she was after all a true manifestsfion.

Hearing of her Child's embarrassment at the hands of Kronos, she sent agents to Olympus with a passion for revenge, they spread even more lies about the Titans, worse and worse they got until it became Kronos was the father of Olympians who had been bested by them after eating them. Night wished to depict Kronos as scared and bestial, in reality Kronos was rational and ready for any battle. Rexo called Kronos back to the vault but before he left Kronos passed a message from Rexo to Manifestor Night

"The Beginning gave us a prophecy, you would do well to remember it, one day I shall send the Rex Imperio to Greece and he shall purge all your influence and laugh whilst he does it. He will aly with the children of those young Gods and they will usher in a new era in Olympus, one free of the stain of Night. Mark these words, by power of Law."

Words marked by power of law were destined to come true, if these words spoken did not come true, Rexo would face backlash from the manifestsfion of Law for using her power without permission

Before he left Kronos had used some of his power to form 12 Apples of Eternal Youth, to be given to the Children of each God, telling them to raise powerful heirs, fit to rule Olympus and grow with the young Deus when he would inevitably come.

This was 500 cycles ago, or 500,000 years ago, very recently for the Titans, long long ago for the Olympians. However four years ago they had been sent a message from the Titan Kronos, it said only one thing

"Be prepared for the arrival of the young King, he will not know the true extent of his identity of power, treat him as you would treat anybody else, any favours given must be earnt in perfect balance."

So the Olympians sired their heir, gave them the apples, and blessed each one with their full power, each Olympian Child had a potential never before seen, blessed by the entirety of a Pantheon willingly sacrificing their power and positions, it was unprecedented and incredible. Titus would have allies who may be able to keep up with his growth… for a while.
