《The war of the Gods》Apollo and Artemis(part one)

"Can I buy you a drink?"
He was tall, blonde and blue eyed. He was also flashy and self centered and by all accounts, the human should have appealed to him in some way but that wasn't the case. Not right now. Right now, Apollo only felt agitation toward the inferior creature. His eyes narrrowed boring a hole in the back of the human's head. Said human male was far too intoxicated to realize he had a very powerful individual right behind him, ready and more than willing to strangle him.
"I ... don't th-"
"Oh come on, just one little-" That was it! The girl said no and with resolute resolve, Apollo shoved around him and inbetween his sibling and the infiltrator to her space.
"She already has a drink and I believe, she is what you call, out of your league. Now wander off." He made his voice heard above the boom of the latino music in the busy Salsa club they were currently occupying.
"Excuse me bu-" The man stopped talking the moment Apollo tilted his head. His eyes were glowing white. It was unnerving to most humans. Luckily for Apollo, it was unnerving to this one too. The blonde held up his hands in surrender, grabbed his pint and wandered off. Ever since the recent vote to allow Supernaturals to become naturalized citizens after a mass exposure protest, humans had been on edge. Apollo could hardly blame them. They were weak and currently facing creatures much stronger than they were. No longer were they at the top of the food chain. Now, they had to contend with Vampire, Superhumans, Demons, Angels, Shifters. None of them knew yet that the Gods of old Mythos were scattered around the world still hidden after the Christian crusades of old.

When the time came for protests, none of the Gods stepped forward. During the crusades, many Gods were driven into hiding. It had been a dangerous time and the world of angels and demons rose up to threaten the Mythos. Slowly people stopped believing and Mythical Gods faded into obscurity. Now, they hid in the human world, living their lives as humans did and melting into society. It was how they preferred it now.
Apollo turned to Artemis and growled, motioning to the bartender to refill their Mojitos. Apollo and Artemis were tall and beautiful. They held themselves with regality. They dressed in fine clothing that was fitted to their shapes. They always had their heads held high. They were Gods after all. Apollo had golden hair he had styled to fall acround his face in nice straight stands that glistened gold just so when the light caught them. His eyes were a golden brown and his brows were close enough to them to make him appear intimidating when he was staring you down. His nose was long and straight and perfectly proportionate to his face. His lips were thicker than you'd expect and rosier too. He could have easily passed for a woman if it was not for his jaw which was clearly that of a man. By far the most beautiful feature on the sun God was his hands. His fingers were long and thin, delicate and beautiful. He had flawless skin. His hands were square and big despite how thin his fingers were.
Artemis was tall and platinum blonde with her hair falling to her mid back curling in the small of her back just at the bottom. Her eyes were the kind of silver you saw in the moon when it was at its highest point during it's nightly cycle. Her cheekbones were high, the kind a runway model would sport. She had a perfect waistline that came out at her hips. The kind of hips men died for and they most definitely had met their end in the past when they had run head long after those hips.

Both siblings prefered to wear their colors with pride. Gold and silver though tonight Apollo had gone for a more muted color. A white shirt and black trousers and black loafers. He had some gold with a golden rolex around his wrist, a golden chain around his neck laying neatly along the well formed collarbone and one single gold tear dangling from a chain in his ear. Artemis, not to be out done, wore a light blue flowing princess style dress that came to just about her knees. The neck of the dress tied behind her own neck in a thick pretty bow and the back was low. A corset style in the front pushed her breasts up just so and in the middle of her chest hung a half moon pendent sparkling in silver with a beautiful blue sapphire.
"Oh, so grumpy, brother dearest." Art cooed, her hand running down his arm in a soothing motion. "I thought a night out might be good for us but I was wrong. Would you prefer to retire for the evening?" She leisurely turned to face the dancefloor, watching the couples as they swayed and moved along to the music. Apollo sighed and pulled his card out when their drinks were handed to them pressing it to the card machine to pay for their drinks then turned to follow his siblings attentions.
"The man was pushy. I don't appreciate his attentions. You said no. No means no. " The response from Art was a giggle and she leaned in to kiss his cheek.
"My hero. Let's try and enjoy the rest of our evening now?" She offered.
It was at that point that one particular individual caught his eye. The boy was lithe and smooth. His movements were controlled and he was captivating, Sweat beamed on his forehead. His blue eyes caught the light just so. His full lips held a smile while he manipulated his dance partner in to the music. Apollo was captivated.

MeiQ: Lore of the Labyrinth
Omaros City lays near one of several Yggdrasil trees that are scattered around the world. Each tree holds an entire labyrinthine ecosystem within or beneath it, yet the mysteries of their origins and what lays in their depths are only ever unraveled by the most skilled and courageous of explorers. Exploration of Omaros' Yggdrasil labyrinth is still in its fledgling stages, drawing in many with the allure of fame and glory that has yet to be claimed. Enter the harbinger Dubhan—cheerful, determined, and not terribly skilled at thinking ahead—and warlock Allouet— intelligent and resourceful, but desperately in over his head. Together, the two of them have half an idea of what they're doing at best, but that's not going to stop them from aiming for the labyrinth's unknown depths. MeiQ is, at its core, a fanfiction inspired by the Etrian Odyssey franchise, alternatively known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu in Japan. Despite that, it is written with the intent to be enjoyable by those unfamiliar with the series as well. The characters and the city of Omaros are original, while the story draws upon lore and recurring concepts from the game series. However, Etrian Odyssey is known for its lore being sparse and open to speculation, so much of the details provided in this story are exactly that—a fan’s speculation and personal expansion of the lore. This story was also inspired by and written as part of HereBeTreasure's Fast Food Frontpage Competition, enjoy some simple dungeon exploration plot and whatever else pops up from this.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?
