Protect us from danger
And the sorrow of death
-Cecilia Eng
Apollo is the god of the sun, music, prophecy, and medicine. He's the god worshipped by the Corin family and especially likes Raiena who can get pretty much anything out of him with the batting of her eyes. He's actually a really great guy too. He comes to my meadow quite a bit and the fae, nymphs, and dryads all adore him. but then you really can't go wrong. He's very lighthearted and because of that he tends to help us out more than most of the good gods. So we get a lot of our help from him and that's well... helpful. I'm so good with words! He's also the maker of the rings that protect the Tandraian family and Danielle. Not wise to mess those rings. It's painful.... I know. Evil Greater Vampires and Good Gods of the Sun just don't mix.
The twin sister of Apollo, Artemis is a goddess of nature and the light of the moon. She is the goddess that I now work for by protecting the forest that I live in. She doesn't like men at all so one must be cautious of her when a guy. But hey, we get along rather well and if I get along with her and Chandal gets along with her and Aurinia gets along with her, she can't be bad at all right? She's really a neat woman and is another of those good gods that happens to come into it more than is called for, which is good for us.
Isis tends to be one of the most active of the good gods we have to help us. That happens to come in a lot of handy since well, she's a goddess magic and especially with the chaos sisters around, that happens to come in a lot of handy. She's done a lot for us that she really didn't have to do. Because of that, many of us are simply better off than we might have otherwise been. She's also close to Gaya which also comes in handy for getting her involved more often.
Osiris is the god of the dead and one of those who has been protecting the spirits of the dead from being raised again by the Chaos Sisters. He's also the husband of Isis and we're grateful for his assistance because family brought back from the dead has proved to be one of the more common means of getting back at people. If it weren't for him, there would be a lot more pain to go around.
Athena is the goddess of war and wisdom and though she hasn't really been very active, we know that she'll come in anytime that Ares is at all afoot which is helpful and a bit comforting to know. She has been thinking about coming into it a bit more, but that will most likely come at first through the aid of some of her worshippers and then she'll have more reason to step into it more herself.
Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. She has a great sense of humor which shined through when she made Miller fall in love with Hecate for a while. She also greatly favors the Corin men, but then, what woman in her right mind doesn't? Just wait until she meets all the Sanchezes. She also hasn't been as active lately, but I'm sure with all the fooling around with love that the sisters have done, she will step in again.
Don't let the sun go down on me When Isis stands atop her magic wind, When trees regain their pulse of life below, When Horus flies through the sky untouched by guns, The gods await us patiently, so believe
-Elton John
Apollo reigns his grand and fiery steeds,
and violated men are struck for their sin;
a feathered arrow guarding women's deeds.
the stars are once more seen a goddess cloak,
and spears go brightly clashing foe to foe
as fighters meet to strike the killing stroke.
the sea waves lash and swirl in love and spite,
a soul follows the howls of dogs that run
ahead to the path of death, the guiding light
through faith and justice balance is achieved.
