Ah ok lol. If you practise enough you might be able to draw good stuff too.
 

Before the neat, bureaucratic universe we live in today, the Supreme Being experimented. He drafted “divinity” the way an inventor tests gadgets....​

...... Sketching out archetypes like Zeus, Isis, Quetzalcoatl, Odin, Shiva. Then setting them loose to see what would happen.
Each prototype received a sliver of creation’s power. Not enough to rewrite reality, but enough to bend it, shaping landscapes, guiding peoples, building cults. They were told: oversee, nurture, create something worthwhile.Naturally, they went rogue. They basked in worship, demanded temples, and treated their regions as private kingdoms.
The Supreme Being sighed, scribbled failed drafts in the margins, and moved on with His official design. But the prototypes never vanished.
Take Olympus: it’s just a mountain. Any mortal could hike up, if not for the priests, fear, and superstition that kept them away. The gods’ “realms” were never separate heavens, just pockets of warped reality, little squatters’ kingdoms stitched into Earth. They’ve since cloaked themselves, walking hidden among mortals. Occasionally they still surface in backwater towns that behave like it’s still the first century.
All those myths of lightning bolts, floods, and underworlds? Just party tricks. Leftover scraps of their borrowed power. Humans misread spectacle as divinity, and the prototypes never corrected them. Why would they? Flattery was their fuel.
The Supreme Being dismisses them with dry contempt:“Oh, them. Prototypes. Easier to leave them on their hills and rivers than to bother tidying up. Harmless enough, once you stop believing in them.”---Their still immortal? Or can live longer, then morals? Then mere mortals? Still unsure.
Though, by the very nature of it all, clearly the Bandits know they are around, as they were there, when God first created them all.
Same for Evil and Amaranth, there aware of these lot. Like they give care either. No! Their to busy being happy evil couple, ruling over the time of legends, and plotting to get that MAP! (though I do hint Evil has met them all, at one time, or another. Some he may call " friend" though he uses the term loosely. Useful, is more like it. Their on the back burner if he ever needs to call in a favor... in exchange for a suit of power in his new world order.)
It will be Kevin who is hit with that bombshell, they are real too. Just struggling to exist now.
