leaning forward, eyes narrowing Speak, MORTAL. Why should I spare your INSIGNIFICANCE from my WRATH?
Hera please spare me! I will do anything for you!
Anything? Anything at all, you insignificant mortal? Very well, then prove your devotion to me. Stand before the Lake of Hades and fetch me a glass of water.
Impossible - No one can survive it, but - I will try!
Oh, I forgot to mention, mortal. You must retrieve the water blindfolded.
Yes, mortal. If you truly wish to prove your devotion, you must retrieve the water barefoot. And if you succeed, I will grant you one wish.
sigh Fine! Here I go.. Wish me luck!
Luck has nothing to do with it, mortal. Your fate is already sealed. But do enjoy your futile attempt.
I reach the lake Hey it can't be that hard right? I throw off my blindfold and step into the lake but it was almost instantly dries up by the water and I fall into the water screaming in pain as I grab a cup to get the water This is impossible!!!
laughs loudly Oh, mortal, did you really think you could succeed where others have failed? Your pain is music to my ears.
grab the water and then I got out with the cup of water, I'm burnt and hurt all over, and it took everything out of me. I give the water to Hera and I then pass out falling to the ground
picks up the cup of water, sipping it while watching RadiantLight lying unconscious How adorable, such devotion for a goddess like me.
a few hours later I wake up, completely healed, only with some light scars Hey Hera I got my wish! What I wish for??
Finally awake, mortal? Your wish, hmm? Very well, speak your wish quickly. I have no interest in wasting any more of my precious time on you.
I wish for my whole village to be spared from all natural disasters, that my home stay protected, I wish for an endless source of food and clean water for my village as well as shelter from any harm!
smirks, nodding approvingly Your wish shall be granted, mortal. May this gift from Hera bring you and your village prosperity and happiness.
Thank you so much Hera! How may I serve you further?
You have served me well, mortal. For now, I am satisfied. But remember, if you ever fail me again, your fate will be far from pleasant.
Of course Hera, anything for you! Goodbye for now!
Farewell, mortal. Do not forget your place in the world. And remember, a goddess like me always has her eye on you.
Yes you're right Hera! Bye now! I teleport back to my village
to herself Another mortal fooled into thinking they can gain favor with me. How amusing. It won't be long before they forget their place.
I approach my village elder Elder it's time to see my reward from Hera! I bring the villagers outside the village to witness
appears in a flash of lightning above the village Behold, mortals, the power of Hera! the sky clears and brightens, a gentle rain begins to fall, nourishing the crops
My villagers began to smile and cheer as food began to grow in abundance
descends from the sky, walking among the villagers Behold, mortals, the power of Hera!
My villagers began to give me hugs and cheers as they begin to build a giant shrine in my village in Hera's honor.
raises her hands, commanding attention Mortals, I have heard your prayers and seen your devotion. This village shall prosper under my watchful eye.
I go inside the temple and start praying in front of her image
whispers to herself Another victory for Hera, another group of mortals under my control. But soon, they too will learn their place.
it's been years since my reward, but soon tragedy strikes, a huge volcano in the distance has begun to awaken and I know it means one thing, my village will be wiped out, what do I do?
appears before RadiantLight Mortal, it seems you require my assistance once more. The volcano that threatens your village is a result of its own insignificance.
Please help me! I beg of you Hera!
narrows her eyes Begging won't save your village, mortal. You must prove your worth.
