The Past
The Present
The days of Ancient Greece has passed over. The Olympians no longer ruled, and were now considered to be petty myths. Modern civilization had taken over all of Greece, and it looked as if the Olympians would never return. But Fate would not allow it. Some mysterious event occurred, wiping all human life off of Greece, leaving the natural world unblemished, the human world in ruins. It was now that twelve horses descended from atop of Mount Olympus. These horses were those of the land, the sea, the sky, the underworld, these horses were the horses of the Olympians. An ensuing battle for power followed, 9 falling submissive, and with 3 reaching a compromise. These three were, to no surprise, the horses of the 'Big Three', Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. The equine of Zeus took the Blessed Lands, Hades, the Tainted Lands, and Poseidon, the Fair Lands. They were blessed with powers to protect their own territories and to win battles that would arise.
These twelve First Equines would not settle for leaving Greece with the title of Greece. It reminded them of the humans, who had proved unworthy of the gods' favor, turning their backs on the gods and thinking that they could act like they didn't exist. The Olympians had waited centuries, but they had finally done something to teach the humans a lesson, to make sure they never again touched Greece. But it was no longer Greece, Greece would now be known as Amphora. And so did the horses settle, with many descendents after them, carrying the same powers, the same lands, the same legacy.
The Present
The three original Deities had long since joined the Olympians to be forever immortal and to watch the squabbling of the mortals below. New Deities came to power in the Tainted, Fair, and Blessed lands, each different and powerful in their own way.
The seductive Lyre sung her way to become the Deity of Hades. Her ways were ruthless, showing no mercy to any. Many doubted that a female would be able to take power and hold it. Lyre proved them wrong. After all, a belle can be just as devious as a beau.
