Moonlight Dwelling

By The Gods

All things can be killed including the Gods.

Ways To Kill A God

1. The golden hind's blood is a sure fire way to kill a God. Just smear some blood on a dagger and poke them and you've got a dead God. This creature is no longer around because the last one named Serena lived out her days as a human.

2. The chakram of light which was on a cool table that apparently repairs a broken one can kill a God. This is tricky because only a person who has been dead and brought back can lift it otherwise you turn to ash. Kell found this out when he was killed by Xena. She then decided to balance the chakram of light and dark so no Gods can be killed with this anymore.

3. The rib of Kronos can be used to kill a God like in the case of Hercules. He killed his own father because of his love for Xena and her unborn child. A God is needed to access this place where Kronos is buried. Oddly it was Hera who helped him get it and we all know what kind of history these two have.

4. Apparently Zeus can eat Gods since that's what he did to Hera for betraying him by helping Hercules get the rib. He spun around and she was gone. I wonder how many calories a God has.

5. The dagger of Helios is not only the key when you need ambrosia it can also be used to kill a God. It was destroyed so this way is out too.

Ares

Tall, dark, and handsome

Bulgling muscles rippling

Clad all in black leather

A bad boy oh so true

Devilishly handsome

Glint in his eye

The God of War

Maybe it could have been

That time has long since passed

Tempting but not going to happen

Aphrodite

Long flowing locks of gold

The Goddess of Love

Shooting sparks of love

A Goddess of Beauty

Good at heart

But on occassion is a bit naughty

Cupid

A strapping lad

Well built frame

Sexy rippling abs

Spreading love around

With his trusty arrows

Ugly when jealous

Found his lady love Psyche

With a baby boy named Bliss

With a touch of the naughty

Like his grandma Aphrodite

The Rulers

The King and Queen

Hera and Zeus

Gods in charge

Not a happy couple

Cheating big time

Major jealousy on her part

Brought together at last

Thanks to a little boy

Back together again

Until that fateful day

On opposite sides again

She was eaten by him

Later he was killed by his son

Died proud of him

Poseidon

Ruler of the sea

With his crown and trident

Composed of water

Unable to touch dry land

Water is his domain

Controls all beneath the sea

Quite a surprise he got

When he was the first to die

That day on the beach not soon forgot

An immortal struck down by a mortal

Death

All come to know her one day

Yet few know her name

Celesta sister of Hades

Her only family

With her eternal flame

Burning in her candle

Going to those who need her

Touch that can kill

Here Comes Trouble

A handful when mortal

Given a chance at immortality

Ate of the golden apple

Release from her prison

Ate some ambrosia

A Goddess was born

Stuck in a lava pit

Was eventually released

Caused some more trouble

Finally she got what she sought

A brief moment of pleasure

Turned out to be her last

A dagger slid right in

Covered in hind's blood

Making her very dead

Twister

An Amazon hungry for power

Battles for the prize

Ends up seriously hurt

What she seeks is within reach

Gobbles it down

Imbued with powers

A new Goddess beware

Out to wreak havoc

Such a short reign of terror

Fell into a lava pit

Never seen again

Hades

King of all the dead

Ruling in the underworld

Such a lonely plkace

But he has is bride by his side

At least part of the year

Eases the ache within

Another God slain by a mortal

Not a bad guy when murder isn't in his eyes

Hephaestus

Loves to make things

Quite handy with tools

His lady love Aphrodite

A match made in heaven

Case of opposites attract

Just a total sweetie

Many impressive inventions

With a glitch here and there

His decision to fight cost dearly

He lost his life yet another dead God

Deimos

Trying to earn a name

Much like his cousin Strife

With his weasel face

And spikey blonde hair

Not much in the way of brains

Out to impress his uncle

Not much oxygen to the brain

Plans that fail miserably

Just a wannabe God

With no true place

Killed by a flaming wagon

Out in a burst of flames

The Huntress

Goddess of the Hunt

Worshipped by the Amazons

Bow and arrow in hand

She never misses her mark

With fierce determination

She lets her arrows fly

But in the end she died

Slain by a mortal

Who threw back her bows

War Goddess

Athena one deserving of respect

So this one thought

Many skills has she

Common ties with the Warrior Princess

But fighting to survive

Tainted the respect

Thirsty for an infant's blood

Pretty clever as well

But she met her end at last

That second sword thrust

Was the one that did the truck

Her life blood spilled out

Came as quite a shock

It's A Love Thing

He's a lover

Not a fighter

A lookalike so eerie

But a very different Ares

Other than looks of course

Dressed all in white

He's the God of Love

With a clean shaven face

Worries about his looks

Fears of looking too big

Especially in those tight pants

Mephistophles

The King of Hell

Wanting to expand

Now that the Olympians are dead

Seeks the blood of the messenger

Made flesh and released

A fight to the death

If she'll take his place

If she proves to be the winner

Disappears with a flash

King no more

She has taken his place

Figuring her way out of it

The Throne

Hell is claiming its Queen

Comes down to send her there

An archangel named Lucifer

A cute angel with abundant pride

Found a new King to rule

An archangel not so angelic

Showing him the light

How he'll love the dark

On Earth for just a day

He committed all seven deadlies

A transformation took place

And not for the better

Sent to his new kingdom below

Sealing up the portal

Nautica

Daughter of Trident

Living under the sea

Has a special gift

A heart that warms the water

Ran away from an unwanted marriage

Made her way onto land

Gifting with legs to walk on

By who she thought was a friend

Met a man and fell in love

Found out the truth

Made her way back home with a heavy heart

Tricked into a marriage

To save her ailing father

Found happiness at last

Her love joined her in the sea

Sporting himself a tail

Living together in bliss

Beneath the sea

Apollo

Called the Shining One

Hair like honey

Dressed all in gold

A cocky attitude

Loves to party

Has a cool flying board

Not much use for mortals

Partying with the girls

Hanging all over him

That he treats like slaves

Not much to brag about

Never even fought

Didn't life a figner

While his family was killed

Hermes

Buddies with Aphrodite

Talking in a similar way

Delivering his messages

Favors wearing a toga

Flies around on winged sandles

Just an average guy

Not at all your typical God

Likes watching wrestling

Doesn't shy away from facials

Lachromse

God of Woe and Sorrow

Never a smile on his face

Yearns for a good laugh

A sign that hides

Using water can cause you to shrink

Finally got his wish

Laughter came out of him

A pie in the face

That was all that it took

The Furies

Hear me Gods and Goddesses, Xena Warrior Princess has commited a terrible crime. She will be punished with persecution and madness. Oh, demons of the soul, over Xena's reason roll. Replace Helicades' sweet illusion with the poison of delusion. To Xena's head do not be kind for it's your job to make her lose her mind.

Alecto

The Tribunal: Apollo, Athena, Hephaestus

If you're found guilty you'll spend an eternity of unimaginable torment in the fiery depths of Tartarus that is reserved for fallen Gods.

As an Olympian God you will receive a fair hearing and in accordance with the law you are allowed to choose you own defender.

If selected as a defender by an accused God in a Godly Tribunal the chosen one must serve or else share the sentence if the accused is found guilty.

Ares On Trial For The Attempted Murder Of Hercules

Hercules The Defender: Not guilty.

H: I call Discord. Hi. Where were you on the day in question?

D: You mean today?

H: Yes today.

D: I was with Ares at his place.

H: All day?

D: Pretty much.

H: Ok and uh at any point in your day did you hear Ares you know sorta talk about trying to kill me?

D: Sure. He talked about it constantly. It's his favorite topic. Well you know it's true.

H: Oh so what you're trying to say is that it it's not unusual to uh um hear Ares talking about trying to kill me.

D: Not at all. Of course today it was a little different.

H: Really why's that?

D: Because today he actually did try to kill you.

H: Let me get this straight. You're saying that uh you were actually a witness to Ares trying to kill me?

D: Well I wasn't there, there but I was watching you know the way real Gods do.

H: Well um would you do me a favor just explain just how Ares tried to kill me? You know I mean what did he do? Come on.

D: Well first he hit you then he smashed up your little boat did a real number on your friends. You put up a pretty good fight.

H: You know uh you two really should have got your stories straight. That's all I'm saying. Just one more question. So if Ares is found guilty and he's sent to Tartarus then who do you work for who um Strife?

D: Excuse me?

H: What that's the way it works isn't it? I mean Strife's the next in line. I mean Ares goes out and Strife comes in and he's the God of War right?

D: That little twerp God of War?

H: Oh well uh who else would it be?

D: We're not talking God her pal we're talking Goddess got it!

H: Yeah no further questions. The defense calls Strife. Strife.

S: That's my name don't wear it out.

H: Were you with Ares today?

S: Yep.

H: Did you witness the attack on me?

S: You could put it that way.

H: Was it Ares who attacked me?

S: Well it sure looked like him.

H: Let me ask you a question. Um was there something different about Ares today you know I mean the way he attacked me?

S: Different? What do you mean?

H: I don't know. Like he wasn't himself you know he kinda had like a slow reaction time. He was a little clumsy, a little confused, a little weak. Did you get that impression?

S: Nah he looked good to me. He's the champ.

H: I don't know I got the drop on him like two or three times. There was a one time I really flattened him. I swear I saw him cry. Come on Strife. You wanna know what I think? I'm not convinced that Ares even shattered that boat. Hmm I think that the wood was rocked the big old cry baby just walked in there tripped over his own feet and I think...

S: No way I laid you out. I brought you down! I...Don't look at me she made me do it.

H: I rest my case.

Athena Makes Her Verdict

Ares it is the decision of this tribunal that all the charges against you be dropped. Strife and Discord for conspiring to murdering a protected mortal and for impersonating a God we sentence you to eternity in the depths of fiery Tartarus.

Courtroom Etiquette

Powers are doused in the chair during the trial that the accused is sitting in.

Don't oggle Athena just answer the questions.

Grovel and cry and make sure you mention your accomplish.

There are worse things than Tartarus like being turned over to Ares.

After a tribunal go catch some rays.
