Fallen Gods
"Minecraftia has Fallen!"
The terrified cry sent the Capital in a panic. Gods fled inside to the safety of the palace, the visiting mortals herded as though they were sheep. The Legends raced around the Capital, failing to calm the horrified residents.
All chaos came to a halt when the Moirai arrived. The three sisters calmly walked into the entrance hall, though the furious looks on their faces were what truly froze both mortals and immortals alike in their tracks. The sisters were unusually silent, compared to their typical loud nature.
A Legend cautiously moved forward and bowed to the sisters. "Rise, Zeus. Tell us the story," Lachesis murmured, barely keeping her fury from reaching her tone.
Zeus avoided the eyes of the sisters. He trembled as he spoke, knowing full well of the consequences if he left out a single detail. "The Demigods finally managed to break our defensive enchantments. Life and Death led the Creators in the charge against the Demigods, Mortality staying behind with the gods to defend the Capital. I was part of the charge. After some time, Mortality appeared on the battlefield, his staff in hand. One of the former must have called for Mortality to join the battle, he was never to leave the safety of the palace. We were far to close to the edge for our liking, but the three were doing fine until the leader of the Demigods showed up. He managed to take down Mortality first and threw him over the edge of the Capital. Life was next to Fall, failing to avenge the youngest brother." Zeus paused, lowering his head in shame in preparation for his next words. Tears ran freely down his face. "Atropos, Death screamed for you to help him. He clung to the edge of the Capital until the Demigod leader finally pried his fingers from the edge. His cries were too much for us to bear. The leader forced us to retreat back to the palace. And here we are now," he finished in a whisper. The entirety of the hall waited in silence for the Moirai's next orders.
The sisters had stood still patiently while Zeus was speaking. Now they were outraged, their auras flaring dangerously. "Bring every able Tracker here immediately," Clotho said lowly. "We must speak to them before they depart. As for the rest of you," her voice suddenly rising, "bring the injured to the infirmary and the dead to the morgue."
The gods and Creators sprang to life, scrambling away and shouting orders to those beneath them. The sisters shook their heads at the bedlam before them.
"Steve was foolish to leave the palace," murmured Lachesis.
"After hearing what Zeus said, you are still worked up over that little Guardian?" Clotho shrieked. "You do realize that Life is stuck down in the mortal realm without any of his memory?"
Atropos sighed and the two squabbling sisters jumped as they remembered their now quiet sibling. "Clotho, Lachesis, we all know that Life and Mortality are fully capable of taking care of themselves. They have proven that time and time again. But what of Death?" She added softly, giving her sisters a grave look. "He will panic at the sight of most gods, eliminating anything in his path of escape. He is the most destructive of the three. It is in his blood, being a Brine. I cannot risk losing him to his instincts again."
The sisters exchanged looks as the Trackers began to appear. They could only hope that their Favored would find their way back home quickly.
