Apollo cries for vengeance
Ador feels cold, tightens his robes
Announcer is lowkey panicking
Ador looks for signs it;s a joke
Apollo swears for the abyss
Sun becomes black
Ador panics
His father tries to calm him down
Stray attack kills father
Hysterically runs away
Is hunted by a demon
Casts a spell
Flubs it so hard he sees stars
Stars grow closer
It’s an eldergod
Elder sign and side effects
Force casts a spell and kills the demon
Manages to summon devils
Bargains for sanctuary

Father smacks me on the head.

"Pay attention. It's not every day a god dies."

Who do you think we fought against? This is their end. I don't want to acknowledge them. Nevertheless, I suppress my thoughts, shut my book, and reluctantly mumble my agreement.

Obeying Father, I focus on the God. A magnificent creature, it could pass for a person if not for its demeanor. Physically, it was a peak specimen, but something about its bearing made it supernatural. It could not be mistaken for anything other than divinity. The souls of the dead sustained divinity, that was born from the faith. How the mighty fell.

An ensemble of trumpets announced the arrival of the executioner. He walked like a man carrying the weight of the world, for indeed he was. Killing a God carried grave consequences. When an Archmage slew Hades, God of the Dead and Riches, the King of the Underworld cursed them to become invisible and forgotten. Their name forever lost to all. Moreover, all gold became tarnished black, and gems lost their luster. This left a permanent stain on all the wealth extracted from the earth that lacked magical protection.

The poor executioner stepped onto the stage, likely wondering what curse he would carry.

A thin man wearing red robes walked onto the stage. He unfurled a scroll and made an announcement. "Helios, the God of the Sun, stands accused of acts of divinity, tyranny, causing droughts, desertification, multiple counts of assault, sexual assault and murder. It is possible for a god to renounce their godhood, thereby absolving themselves of the crime of having divinity. Helios will be given the opportunity to do so."

As the announcer waved his hand, the chains around Helios' head loosened.
