The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?

One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.

Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?

You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.

Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.

For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

Interesting! N-not the hurting you part, of course. but maybe I can help you work around that.

[She's truly just... so happy learning how all of you work now.]

If you're up for it, I think that could really come in handy. If Typhon's still poisoned, it could draw away what strength he still has.

[ HE SHRUGS A LITTLE... ] God of, uh, Life, I guess I can...hurt things that are anti-Life?

[ But, to the matter at hand: ]

Whadda ya mean, poisoned?

Right. It's a bit of a long story.

Typhon is from my world. He was locked beneath a place called the Golden Isles, until a shift in the heavens set him free. He went on a rampage, corrupting everything and stealing the essence of the gods so they couldn't stop him.

I was just a simple story-teller when I washed ashore. But I set out to stop Typhon and rescue the gods he'd imprisoned. But I didn't know what he was planning until later - he'd used my brother, Ligyron to gather ingredients for a poison that could kill the gods. Something that should be near-impossible!

When I caught him, however, I defeated him the first time on my own. Then, he used the poison on himself. So his attacks actually harmed me while the poison hurt him. Still, it took the combined might of Athena (not yours), Hermes, Ares, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Zeus, and myself to bring him down.

If I had to guess, the poison is still in his system.

[ Oooo, lore, Alex loves lore- his brows crease in thought. ]

Poisoned himself, all to... Yeah, that sounds like this guy. Doesn't that mean- we're gods too now, aren't we extra vulnerable to him, too? So, we'd have to account for that, maybe...all teaming up, like yours did?
