Hypnos handpicked a card from the deck of tarot presented to him by his foolish brother and flipped it with anticipation, revealing a spiritual image: A old man carrying a staff in one hand and a lit lantern containing a six-pointed star in the other hand. It was numbered "9." "The Hermit," the Sultan of Sleep rendered, and then read the rest of the card inwardly: 'He is the seeker of Knowledge, Mysteries, and ultimately Oneself. He means wisdom, introspection, inner guidance, and solitude, as…

Death is neither scary or frightening, he is liberating. If you ask me, I'd say life is the true monster of this story. -Ananse, God of Stories. The Lady of Remembrance couldn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe it. She wished it was all a dream, which was cruelly ironic considering what was happening in front of her. A god was being born from the dream of mortals! The memories of the Akan tribe that entailed their god coalesced in the pool of Anameisis, sparking the birth of…

"People create gods when they wonder why things happen, and do you know why things happen, it's because gods made them happen," "So, who came first, gods or men?" -Hypnos to Morpheus on the mysteries of the divine. Finally, the time has come. With certitude, Hypnos thought, thrumming the armrest of his throne in the heart of Dreaming. He was fully present in his realm for the epochal event that was about to occur. There could be no mistakes, no errors, no slights, for he was facing the most…

"Me? Satan's henchwoman? You truly make me laugh with your humor, boy. Now, let me make it clear to you children once and for all. I am servant to nobody. I am the Mother of Demons and Mistress of Deceit. I am Queen of Hell and Ethnarch of Evil. I am the Nachash-" "Nachash?!" "Oh, yes, boy, yes, I am the serpent of Eden! It was I who tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, resulting in the fall of humanity, "His" greatest creation. You see, even the Almighty, for all "His" infinite wisdom and…

"The gods are great, but people are greater, for in their dreams, the gods are born, and to their dreams, they shall return," Hypnos said serenely. "Where are you going with all of this, old man?" Siddhartha asked, his brow furrowing. "Shaka," Hypnos admonished, "that is for you to find." - 4th BCE, Ancient India. The messenger of God-the Will of God-the Prince of Justice-the Archangel of Revelation -the Annunciator. Ultimately, he was none other than Gabriel, the Hornblower. Within a…

Oh, Hypnos? I know him; I mean, who doesn't? He made quite a name for himself in the cosmos and beyond. My brothers and sisters abhor his existence with passion, but I like the kid. He is the dreamer who doesn't know when to give up. That is something I can relate to. -Gabriel, the Archangel of Revelation, and the Messenger of God. "In all chaos, there is a path; in all disorder, there is a secret order." Metis, the Titaness of the Wise Council, began sonorously. Her tone carried such steel…

You know, sister, I was there. Watching Uncle Dream and the Old Fates negotiate is always good entertainment. Like two supernovas debating whether or not to explode. - Apollo The morning sun shone brightly on a colossal hall supported by massive columns. In the centre of it all was a long silver table with floating projections of battlefields from Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic. They glowed in argent light together, displaying the present situation on all fronts-surprisingly, there…

I do as I please, Oh Eternal Lord of Creation. You may claim the powers of Creation, but you alone don't possess them. He and I also possess them just the same. The Power of Nothingness allows me to create existence where there was none, to manipulate space-time, matter, energy, and spiritual forces to alter them as I want, to raze them back to nothingness, or to reconstitute them from the abyss. I can also perform all of your so-called miracles too. The only real difference between you, Azathoth,…

Egypt gave birth to what later would become knows as 'Western Civilisation,' long before the greatness of Greece and Rome. -John Henrik Clarke After that fateful day, Hypnos and Hera spent almost all of their time together. The Titanomachy had temporarily abated, providing the world with a much-needed reprieve. Titans and Gods appeared to have reached an unspoken tactic agreement, retreating and preparing for the final battle that would decide the fate of their pantheon. Meanwhile, Hypnos had…
