The Hall of Divine Will buzzed with heated voices as the gods argued over the most crucial gift for the unborn hero. The air shimmered with tension and divine energy as each god laid claim to their blessings and sought to shape the boy in their own image.
Solias, god of the sun and vitality, stepped forward, his golden aura flaring bright. "The boy must be born with the power of my radiance—life-giving light that heals wounds, banishes darkness, and ignites hope even in the bleakest despair. Without my vitality, he is but a fragile mortal."
Lira, goddess of wisdom and strategy, raised her calm voice. "Healing is vital, yet without clarity of mind and the insight to use power wisely, he will falter. Let him inherit my wisdom—keen perception, foresight, and the knowledge to unlock the secrets of the world."
Veyr, the tempest god of storms and fury, bellowed in defiance. "Power alone saves no one. The boy must carry my storm—wrath unleashed upon the wicked, lightning that rends corrupt forces asunder. Let him wield the tempest's fury to fight the darkness head-on."
Brakk, god of strength and endurance, rumbled with gravitas. "What use is power without resilience? The boy must be born with my steadfastness, the strength to endure any trial, to bear burdens greater than most mortals, and to protect the weak and the innocent."
The elemental gods, the gods of strength, each voiced their reasons—fire for destruction and renewal, water for adaptability and life, earth for steadiness and fortitude, air for speed and freedom. The debate thundered like the gods' own tempest, each unwilling to yield to the others.
Amidst the spiraling arguments, the great figure of Ilyon, the Father of all gods, rose. His voice, deep as the cosmos and calm as the oldest stars, silenced the tumult instantly.
"Enough," Ilyon intoned, his presence settling the storm of divine pride. "Each of you offers power that could shape the boy—but we risk forging many weapons and no shield. To give him all is folly."
He gestured toward Erythos, god of time and space, who stepped forward with measured grace. "Instead, the child shall be born with the nature of Erythos—the very essence of time and space."
The gods turned, some in surprise, most in quiet reflection. Ilyon continued, "Time shapes all things: growth, decay, life, and death. Space holds all existence, the stage for every battle and every peace. This power alone gives balance beyond brute strength, beyond raw magic."
"But," Ilyon's voice grew stern, "power itself wields great temptation. Thus I decree—though the child's soul shall carry the nature of time and space, each god may grant him one singular skill as a gift."
The hall fell silent, the gods weighing this final decree.
He spoke again, "The boy's journey will be long. His skills must be earned through courage, wisdom, and sacrifice—not merely inherited. Only by choice can true power be mastered. And through this balance, he may become what the world needs: a hero born of time, yet forged by trials."
The gods bowed their heads in solemn agreement as Ilyon raised his hand, a radiant symbol in the endless light. Power flowed, subtle yet infinite, weaving destiny within the unborn child—an echo through eternity that this was no ordinary birth, but the dawn of hope.
Before the birth, Ilyon had spoken with deep conviction why the nature of Erythos, the god of time and space, should shape the child's very soul.
"Erythos loves these rebels," Ilyon said, his voice echoing through the hall. "It was he who first saw their courage, their unity across differences. He was the first to tell us that this child must be sent to their midst. Let him be the hero born with the essence of time and space itself."
Erythos, the god of time and memory, stepped forward with humble pride. "I will be the child's mentor," he promised. "Through time's endless flow, I will guide him—teaching patience, understanding, and how to master the forces that bind the cosmos."
The other gods nodded with approval and relief. They trusted the wisdom of the Father and welcomed Erythos' mentorship as the perfect balance between divinity and mortal growth.
With the Father of All's decree echoing in the Hall of Divine Will, the gods prepared to bestow their individual gifts upon the unborn child. Each stepped forward, weaving their blessings into the boy's destiny, shaping him not only as a beacon of hope but a master of powers vital to the world's salvation.
First came the gentle goddess of healing, Nira. Her hands glowed with soft, emerald light as she spoke, "I grant him the power of Purity—immunity to poison and disease. In a world ravaged by corruption and sickness, this gift will shield his body and spirit from every malady and venom that seeks to weaken him." Her blessing wrapped around the child like a soothing balm, promising resilience in the face of the world's harshness.
Next, the god of knowledge and memory, Lira, approached with a serene smile. "To navigate the trials ahead, he must remember all he learns. I grant him Perfect Recall—the ability to remember anything he sees or hears with flawless clarity. This gift will make the world his endless library, every sight and sound a lesson to be mastered." With a touch, a whisper of infinite wisdom stirred within the boy's soul.
The mighty god of strength, Brakk, towered and roared his gift with pride. "Strength is earned, not given. Therefore, I grant him Evergrowing Might—the power to increase his strength and muscle boundlessly, but only through effort and toil. For every challenge he overcomes, every hardship he endures, his body will rise stronger, forging a warrior ready to defend the weak."
From the elemental realms, two gods—the Stormcaller and the Rainbringer—joined their powers, embodying thunder and rain. The Stormcaller's voice rumbled like distant thunder, "He shall command the power of Thunder—the booming voice of the sky that shatters darkness and fear."
The Rainbringer smiled gently, mist curling around her form. "And with Rain, he holds the blessing of renewal—water to cleanse wounds, nurture life, and calm the raging storms within the soul."
Together, their elemental power hummed a symphony of destruction and hope, chaos and calm, ready to follow the boy through his journey.
Lastly, the god of forgery, Veyr's kin, stepped forward with a keen gaze. "Strength of arm is one thing, but skill of hand another. I grant him the Gift of the Sword—an unmatched mastery of blades. Any sword he wields shall respond as if an extension of his very soul, bending effortlessly to his will."
The gods' blessings intertwined, a tapestry of light, strength, knowledge, and nature enfolding the unborn child. Though bound by the nature of time and space within, these gifts gave him the tools to face unthinkable trials, grow beyond mortal limits, and shape the fate of all.
The Hall of Divine Will shone brighter than ever, the promise of the hero's journey sealed among the gods as they withdrew, leaving the world for now in silence—the breath before a storm of hope.
