Chapter 118: Hope and Chaos

Neptune, the Roman counterpart to Poseidon. Every single Greek God has their own counterpart within the Roman Pantheon.

Jupiter is Zeus.

Juno is Hera.

Minerva is Athena.

Apollo is kinda awkward, because Apollo counterpart is Apollo.

Mars is Ares.

Ceres is Demeter

Mercury is Hermes

Diana is Artemis (A/N: Hestia?)

Bacchus is Dionysus

Vulcan is Hephaestus

Pluto is Hades

Vesta is Hestia (A/N: Artemis?)

Venus is Aphrodite

They all were the same yet different people, similarities could be seen among them all, but some things are definitely changed. Like how in Ancient Greece they good ships that could sail to several islands and beyond, but the Romans couldn't build ships like the Greeks, so Poseidon was reduced to the God of Freshwater instead, because he wasn't worshipped like he was in Ancient Greek!

"Tell me, intruders, why i shouldn't just blast you out of my waters!" The angry Freshw- I mean, the Sea God angrily pointed his golden trident at the trio of serpent and two humans, Demigods, on top of said serpent. His blue eyes shone with a green light as the water began to boil around them.

"We seek the way to the Sea of Monsters." After swallowing and mutilating a whole whale, Enychta Astérie, the black serpent with wings, spoke: "We got lost, Lord Neptune, we wish to know the direction of the Sea of Monsters..." His voice sounded ragged and raspy, like a reptile that just learned how to speak with humans, or in this case, Gods. His golden eyes locked with Neptune's green glowing eyes, who slowly returned to their natural blue hue as he scoffed and coughed a little on his left hand, pointing his trident towards the direction behind them.

"Follow West and you'll arive at the Sea of Monsters... Now, leave. Before i make you." Without warning, the seawater pushed them, making Enychta frown and struggle a little to maintain the bubble around his two lovers, he swam away fast because he doesn't want to fighg the god of the SEA in the fucking SEA! His feathery wings flapped as his serpentine body slithered in the water, pushing him forward faster and faster, he even started using the new ability he qas using to maintain the bubble of air around both Pruno and Luke: [Liquid Manipulation]. The water pushed them forward faster and faster, Enychta couldn't risk making Neptune mad because while he can breathe underwater, Luke and Pruno cannot.

'Why do i have the feeling that something bad will happen...?'

*-Scene Cut-*

Darkness.

All around, everything was darkness and darkness alone...

When suddenly the light flickered and came to being, it was then that the darkness of the room vanished and was overlapped by the light. In the room, floating above a single platform, stood a small cube of the size of a rubic cube, thousands of words and letters could be seen in this cube that was closed by 5 chains that looked a little rusty.

This was Pandora's Box, or should i say, Chaos Cube...

Let me tell you a little story, you know all the bad things were released by Pandora that was gifted this wonderful... Wonderful box? Well, all those bad things were part of a single bad thing, and although they cannot be fused together, they can be woven into different beings. So they were born, Pestilence, Death, Hunger, and War... They all quickly became concepts, concepts that would shape and from different deities all around the world, concepts that mortals cannot comprehend. And of course, it didn't end there... Hope also left that box, and Hope is a both a shackle and the wings of freedom, Hope is a shackle that prolongs the suffering of men while making him free from the reality he cannot believe in... Hope is formless but cruel, cold but cruel, cruel but addictive.

Hope is immortal, as every single entity has it. Hope is so hated by Hell that to even entwr it, you have to "Abandon All Hope", there's literally a sign with that written at the entrance! But sometimes, Hope is all everyone has, just like existence did once when they came. Who are they? Well, the Outsiders, all known as The Outer Gods. H.P Lovecraft was not exactly a mad man, he was a rare giftted diviner, that is a mortal that can communicate with a God through their dreams consciously or unconsciously and deliver their message. He was driven insane by their voices and wrote down his nightmares, but because he couldn't physically write down what they were, he could only keep them into the unknown! And that saved the universe, how are the Pandora's Box and the Outer Gods connected? Well, Hope.

The universe is meant to repeat, a cycle, the universe appears with the Big Bang, grows woth time, and in the end is devoured by Azathoth when he awakes. Chaos has tried so hard to break this cycle by reversing time to the begging of the universe countless times, every time some things change but the end is always the same, so Chaos decided to, well, bring Chaos upon this and every other connected multiverse. So knowing this, Chaos took the Box opened by Pandora and placed within it pure energy, pure madness of energy and destruction, pure propability, pure... Chaos. Oh, and how wonderful it was when they all opened and several different events happened, but sadly the same end came to be: The Outer Gods devouring the universe. But this time, things changed, and the box has yet to open!

These chains around the box are slowly breaking apart, crumbling into nothingness, and when the box opens, it will be... Chaotic.

The Chaos Box, holden within the headquarters of the Mortal Organization SPWS, is safe for now...

*crack*

Oh...

There are now only 4 chains.

Time is ticking.
