(Jenifers PoV)
The sky was falling everything was being drowned in the starry tapestry of the night sky. Empires were wiped out the mightiest of beast smothered or subsumed and made to join the nights sky as nothing more than one of many stars in the endless tapestry. Even many heroes lost their courage facing endless dark.
But not all was lost suddenly all around the tapestries edges mighty figures emerged. Each beating back the nights sky each bringing hope to their subjects. Many desperate souls rejoiced as clearly this nightmare will be no more soon do to this divine intervention.
Arrows fell like rain slaying starts like they were nothing more than helpless prey. Artemis and her hunters treated the calamity as just another outing in the woods.
The dead rose from the underworld beating back the sky. The army of souls was led by a Hades clad in the finest jewelry not looking even a bit tacky in spite of the over-abundance of precious metals and gems.
Lightning was tearing at the fabric of the sky as Zeus had given the calamity the privilege to be stopped by his lightning. Laughing the god burned away the fabric of night with sky fire.
Those were just 3 of the 12 major gods joining the battle each leading lesser gods and their devote flowers. The last to join the battle was the sun god Apollo and as he did large parts of the tapestry was pushed back by his mere presence. After all was it not natural for the sun to push back the night?
To that the answer apparently was no as large feminine figure emerged clad in a dress of stars looking almost in piece she slapped him down almost as an afterthought. The other 11 rallied to fight the force of nature all saying different things but in the end only one thing was consistent. They all called her Nyx the embodiment of the night sky.
In the end each and every one of them was beaten and their forces scattered. Witnessing this Apollo the not quite perished but definitely beaten sun god asked only one thing....
"HOW! How could you be so strong all by yourself!" At that moment there was only fear as the sun screamed at the night.
"Foolish children forgot my might." Said the calamity Nyx sounding mighty pleased with herself. "Sun is but a single star it's not for you to banish my night. Now perish like the rest" And yet Apollo remembered that his arrival banished so much of her night and that was why she likely got involved personally. If one star is not enough then 12 mightiest constellations should be enough. Just as the killing blow landed he sacrificed his divine essence to raise 12 newborn divine spirits elevated straight from the tapestry Nyx had put so close to earth.
Time passed and while nobody knows all of what happened after as the time after could be described as pure chaos the end result is known by all. The advance of the night was halted before it could subsume everything and the Olympus is now ruled by the zodiac constellations.
The intro cutscene having finished I could only think that it was adequate enough. It could do with some polish but it got the point across. The old Greek gods have fallen and Nyx pretty much owns most of the planet now.
Jenifer honestly did not expect that kind of creativity from Edmund If one had asked her what kind of game he would make she would have said Sudoku app. He certainly was not lacking in puzzles judging by his last birthday celebration.
Then the game started the character creation.
That should be easy being a closed alpha. "Clover" I said and it immediately got accepted. Got to love not having to compete for common names.
Then in front of me appeared an avatar of a slightly tanned woman that had shoulder-length black hair, pretty visible muscle and green eyes. Over all not bad human warrior avatar thought not what I wanted looking a bit more on the tough side than I wished. Turning to the customization sliders I started by softening the muscle tone and changing the hair color to red there were bunch more options but I did not touch them as those 2 changes were enough for me to see myself playing the character. Then I got curious about my other options and pressed on the races tab. I was greeted with a message when I did.

Well there needed to be something missing this being an alpha and all. Sighing I confirmed my avatar thankfully it was not anything too inconvenient thus far.
What sign was I again? Leo? Not that was my mom. Oh right it was this one!
Huh... not an archer skill? Thought you can be one with that passive skill. I wonder what other skills bring to the table? Next on the list was Pisces shrugging Jenifer took a peak.
Yeah, these's skills are not what one would expect. Swiping to next skill.
And after quick skim through the Aries mark she skipped other zodiacs to get to her mom's sign.
That one I actually expected! Okay now think Jenifer what's the meta? Oh, duh there is no established meta thus far so what looks like more fun?
What mark should Jenifer pick?
