Hi! We are finally coming to Roman gods after freaking 39 chapters. I never thought I would be able to carry on story this far and still have good plot left. Guess I was wrong for right reason. So let's go into world of brilliant Roman gods.

........

There is a deep silence. An uncanny silence. Roman gods are very different. They haven't been awake. They went into deep slumber the very day the Roman Empire fell. And since then each of them is sleeping. And the only thing that fill the atmosphere of Mount Olympus in Cyprus is uncanny silence. No one has dared to go there. No one can . The whole atmosphere is full. It is so melancholic that you can still hear the cries of Julius Caesar, that you can still hear Nero shouting , you can still feel as the blood gurgled out of roman soldiers as they were killed ruthlessly by Odoacer.

And all this? And all this for what? Because of a bloody religion. The day first roman became fan of God, was the day Roman gods knew that it was destined to fall. Gods in some way always know what is coming. They always have. That is why they are gods and we are nothing but a mortal born to be either erased in time or leave some mark in history which also goes away after couple of centuries.

But now was the time that Roman gods rise. Now was the time to bring them back to life. And that is what Hecate intended to do as she entered the Olympus.

"You shouldn't have come here." Somnus's voice echoed as she smiled turning to look at him.

"So god of sleep repels goddess of magic." She smirked.

"No! But your presence is generally indication of bad times." He sighed and both started walking together.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"You know everything." She scoffed as if he was joking.

"Yes! Nine realms are in Chaos. So! We are dead. We don't care whether we save mortals or don't. They forgot us. Gave power to Biblical gods and all." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Just like they are not gonna care if you care about your realm or not , they are gonna kill you ." Hecate countered.

"Well! Then I guess this is goodbye." He sighed not caring at all.

"You don't care if you live or die." She asked shocked.

"No! There is no meaning to our existence. Now if you would excuse me , I gotta go back to my sleep. I trust you can find your way out the same way you came in." He took her leave and lied back on a coat instantly falling asleep.

Hecate couldn't believe it. To see gods in such ...in such hopeless state was really something that she wasn't liking very much.

"Aw! Don't feel bad. He can be bit over douche sometimes." Apollo chuckled.

"You are awake?" She looked squinting her eyes.

"Always! I never change whether with Romans or Greeks. Others .. can't say the same. Really feel sad you know to see my sister's counterpart just lying in slumber." He chimed looking at sleeping Diana.

"Well! You know Apollo , that a war is coming and.." She began.

"Uh-huh! Save your speech. Heard it too many times from too many lips while I was travelling in my chariot yesterday. Literally sick of hearing it. Ugh! Everyone is saying there is a war coming. But where it is? Everyone is just messing around in their own realm. No one . Not even a single being has infiltrated any other realm yet." He finished.

Hecate suddenly backed out as her eyes became white.

Lucifer , the king of Hell or former king of Hell considering he is in heaven sits expressionless staring at unconscious God.

"Hi Hecate! Happy to spy on me now , aren't you?" He grinned snarling at her as she came back gasping.

"What happened?" Apollo asked concerned.

"You were saying that no one has entered any other realm yet." She asked gritting her teeth.

"Yes! And why are you looking at me like that?" He enquired.

"Well! Guess what? Lucifer has conquered heaven. And now he has two realms while you all are sitting here planning, he is doing it. By the time you start your plan into action, he will already have conquered many more realms." She scoffed.

"What should we do?" He asked sighing.

"We?" She reiterated.

"Well! If I am gonna inspire these sleeping league of gods, I am gonna need my fav cousine to support me."  He laughed.

"I am your only cousine." She looked at him crossing her arms.

"Exactly. Now how do we proceed?" He beamed at her. She shook her head and then with one thud of her staff, there was a surge of blue aura blasting each god into air as they rose.

"What is happening here?" Jupiter looked angry.

"We are coming back from being dead to living today." Apollo told everything that had happened until now to them.

"Fine! What do you want us to do?" Jupiter sighed.

"Isn't it obvious? You have to reconcile with your Greek counterparts." She stated.

"Are they willing ?" He asked.

"Of course!" She nervously replied.

"Okay! Bring one of their gods to us . We will talk then ." He folded his arms.

"Alright!" She squealed with delight and was going away until Juno's voice wavered.

"Be careful, Hecate. If they try to betray us , Egyptians wouldn't be the only enemy that they would have to be concerned about." She warned.

"We will never betray you." She assured them and then disappeared.

The whole council was silent. Jupiter sat on his throne feeling like old times.

"So how much have we missed?" He asked Apollo since he was only one awake.

"So lot." He smiled remembering world wars , forming of Britian, USA, establishment of democracy, failed dream of Mussolini, Napolean and Hitler , coup by Otto van Bismarck, killing of Louis XVI.

"Then go on. Spit it out. I know you are more eager than me to tell everything." He chuckled and all gods started to sit on their thrones as Apollo began . " So basically Treaty of Constantinople...

Amicis vale! Keep thy self posted for next chapter.
