her, just how she liked it.
    “Okay, now since the distraction is gone can we get on with the story?” Amadi said, breaking the silence. “I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t like to mix business with pleasure.”
    “Ease up man,” Terry said. “If this is true, there is a good chance we are all going to die. We might as well go out with a grin on our face. Or are you just jealous Nicholaus was getting all of the attention?”
    “Like I said,” Amadi responded staring coldly into Terry’s eyes. “I don’t like to mix business with pleasure. Besides she is not my type.”
    After a few minutes of staring down Amadi; Terry turned to Zeus. “How did this happen and what are we going to do about it.”
    “Well if you know the stories, they are true,” Zeus began. “I was born from the Titans. Cronus was my father and Rhea was my mother. My father ruled over the other Titans with an iron fist. Since Cronus knew his kids would have the power to overthrow him someday, he would eat them as they were born. I was the youngest and only surviving child until I freed them from his stomach. What is not in the stories is that there were 7 of us not 3. There was Hestia, Demeter, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Ares then me,”
    “I thought Ares was your son,” Amadi asked.
    “No he is my brother.” Zeus said coldly. This was a delicate subject for Zeus to talk about. “He wouldn’t go along with the plan to dispose of the Titans so I demoted him. He is still as powerful as an Original, but he has no authority.” Zeus now continued with his story. “Through thousands of years, we gods ruled the world. I took Hera, my sister, as my first wife, and my brothers took to their stewardship; Poseidon to the sea, Hades to the underworld, and the rest did what they wanted with what they were interested in. That led Ares to take over war because it is in his nature.
    “In time we gods grew. Our family grew. I had kids with Hera, who in turn became gods over whatever they personified. Yes what we did was what you consider incest, but it’s just what we did. Just like the humans did who were in royalty or even the story about Adam and Eve in your Christian religion.
    “After time, I began to see the injustices my kind was doing to the humans. I noticed that we were holding them back. We used them as our play things, and as you can tell from Aphrodite, things have not changed. I took the support of the gods I could muster and we created a Token which prevented the gods from visiting earth with their power. They were only allowed to visit earth if they took the form and weakness of humans.
    “Gods started to age, losing all of their powers and immortality. Some gods would come down to play with the humans-this is where you get all of your figureheads from history, they were either gods or demi-gods. And this is why you three are what you are, and why you are so good at what you do.
    “One other thing, there is a natural attraction about demi-gods. You tend to pull other demi-gods towards you. When you do, either great or terrible things happen in the world. For example one of the great things that have happened was the founding of your nation Terry.”
    Terry put his hand up to stop Zeus from talking. “What was one of the worse things that have happened because of demi-gods getting together?”
    “That would be something that has happened every year, besides a rare few. All over the world, demi-gods have done horrible things and taken control of people. This is how Ares has gained so much support. He has convinced the majority of gods that man cannot rule themselves; that man requires a guiding hand to make sure they don’t kill each other. He has given many examples to prove his point that man needs an elite group to rule over them and to make decisions for the human race. Since it can’t be done by humans it will have to be done by gods.”
    “What does this have to do with us?” Nicolai asked. “If Ares is so bent on
