When Zeus Was On Mount Olympus

One day while a great idea came to him. “I should rule all”. He thought to himself. He thought he should rule the sun, the sea, and the underworld. “I’m strong enough to be the one true king of everything”. He boasted. He devised a plan with one of the gods, Ares the god of war. Ares loved war hence his title. He thought that if he was going to take down some strong gods he needed a strong teammate especially if the others tried to team up.

He promised Ares a spot next to him, undoubtedly tricking him. First, he wanted to pick off the Sun God. Since he can see all he could warn the others, so it he was his a priority.
