Chosen of the Elder Gods

Chosen of the Elder Gods

Fortune has smiled on you, or perhaps it's misfortune. Either way it's a good time.

Chapter 1 by JackOLantern JackOLantern

Since time immemorial, the Elder Gods have drifted through the fabric of space and time, taking part in affairs that no mortal mind could comprehend. Whether by intention or by accident they leave just a hint of their existence in every world and universe they touch; and this is typically the extent to which any one of them has influence over the inhabitants of those places.

As it happens, Earth is one such planet that the most of the Great Old Ones ignore. Whatever struggles or celebrations humanity takes part in are of no consequence to those of infinite power, and most of these alien elder beings see no reason to involve themselves in mankind. It is much the same way a human might regard the affairs of ants.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. There are a handful of the dwellers of the infinite void who are mildly curious about our little blue ball, and they watch what happens as though viewing a movie without a plot, or perhaps a plot no mere mortal mind could hope to understand. Sometimes, through boredom, curiosity, or both, they will introduce their own plot. The story that is about to be told is one such occasion. Earth is about to become the stage to settle a petty debate among the gods, with little to no regard for the well-being of the inhabitants.

Slaneth, sometimes called Slan, is an Elder Goddess who has a tendency to involve herself in the affairs of mortal creatures, sometimes directly. She views these mortals as toys for her to enjoy at her leisure. And enjoy them she does, for she has always been associated with promiscuity, debauchery, sex, and pleasures of the flesh. Slaneth is about to give an unsuspecting human from Earth a taste of power with the sole purpose of making them the messiah for a new religion of hedonism and delight.

The question is, who was given Slaneth's dark gift?
