"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." J. R. R. Tolkien Hypnos aimed the cosmic bolt at Saturn, then shook his head, changing his aim and shooting it into infinity. Immediately, the lightning slashed through the darkness of the cosmos like the brilliant sword of Saint Michael, zapping straight into the…

I am lightning. No matter how hard they try, mankind can never overcome lightning. Since ancient times, mankind has labeled the unknowns of nature as God. And anything they could not understand, they feared. Everything which befalls mankind is said to be the work of God. Mankind accepts that it cannot defeat natural disasters. And I am one of them. -Enel "Open your eye." Those three words thundered in Zeus' mind, splaying his divine being into the infinite cosmos. "What is the…

Dare to dream, then decide to do. -Annette White. "Will you marry me?" Those four words. Those. Four. Words. They slashed into his mind like cosmic lightning, rattling his actual being for a split second. "No," Hypnos immediately replied. He didn't even bother to consider it. To him, the answer to her question was as clear as a dream. Hera appeared shaken, her hands resting heavily on the armrest for support as his answer weighed heavily on her. "Why?" she exclaimed, her gaze fixed on him,…

Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. -Albus Dumbledore Hypnos sat on his throne in Dreaming, penning new laws and regulations into the fabric of his realm with the golden book in his hand. He had opted to return to his realm after the banquet to work on his creation for the remainder of the night. He had also brought Mnemosyne, his new subordinate, with him, introducing her to her new home, and then he began to guide her, granting her new knowledge on…

Love makes fools of us all, big and little. - William Makepeace Thackeray It was the big bang. As the inconceivable light of the Big Bang swept them away like a cosmic tsunami at a speed zillions of times faster than light, Hypnos drew the dazed Hera into his arms. They were catapulted into a burgeoning universe that was being created by the incessant energies unleashed by the Big Bang. The ruthless hand of light chased darkness into hiding in the nooks and crannies of the universe. The last…

So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator? - Stephen Hawking Hypnos strolled peacefully along his path towards the other balcony at the end of the corridor, not at all looking like someone who had just initiated something so historic. The fire of hope he didn't change anything about it…

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make their dreams into reality. - Jonas Salk Meanwhile, on Mount Olympus, the melodious music thrashed through the vehement gods, permeating the divine mountain with zeal. The night was alive. The fervour and intensity of the music and dance filled the air, almost stifling it. The immortals danced to their hearts, forgetting their worries and enjoying this brief respite. This was a banquet in honour of Hypnos, the…

In a colossal hall supported by gargantuan columns, Kronos, the Crooked One, gazed at the shimmering night through a large window. A cold wind blew through the hall, swaying the green fire in the braziers, driving away the darkness, and revealing a tall figure draped in northern winter. The icy figure was none other than Koios, the Titan of the North, Knowledge, and Farsight. "My Lord." Koios bowed to the mighty figure bathed in starlight. Kronos hummed in recognition. The Titan of the…

Hypnos arched his brow, his gaze drawn to Hera. The Goddess of Marriage immediately withdrew her gaze as her mother drew her back, silently chastising her for her lackadaisical actions. Hypnos had already returned his gaze to the crowd and frowned-he was here as his mother's representative, accepting Gaea's request, but the Earth Mother had yet to appear personally to greet him. A wave of awkwardness spread through the crowd of immortals, who noticed the situation as well. Hades was…

"You shall also be the God of Darkness." Hades felt himself connecting with a vast and boundless domain. He sensed his consciousness becoming thin and blurry, slipping into infinite darkness. His body dissolved into a pure and inky blob of blackness, slowly coalescing back into a humanoid with two gigantic black wings. "You are generous, father," noted Aether in surprise. "His new divine form looks awfully like," said Hypnos, wrinkling his nose. "..a fallen angel..." "And when did you begin to…
