The Court of the Gods

He woke up with a start. The giants below were yelling at each other. Some were weeping. The big giant in gold yelled for silence. His yell was so great that it shook everything. Dirt fell from where he was looking down. About 200 paces away the dirt hit and stayed on something. He saw this and went to examine the thing keeping the dirt up. It was glass he figured out, a glass staircase. He started to descend. It was terrifying nothing would hide him. The stair case went inward under the land he use to be on. He looked up it was beautiful. The whole universe and more painted on black marble. Constellations were painted on huge pillars holding up the ceiling. He realized with a squeak that it was the huge rock formation holing everything up, but down here it was carved ionic columns. It was in more in detail then in his home palace. The staircase came to one of the columns and spiraled downward. He looked at the column. Every few twists he saw a new constellation with the names of them. He descended farther. Almost to the bottom he saw one that was called Ashino. He stared at it. That was his uncle’s name. The king’s name he realized. He looked closer and saw a crown on the constellation head, a beard that was well known for being in on the kindest king of his time. It was the king he realized. The thought to himself they don't find constellation Wahl they are alive! What happened to him! He kept descending, then hit the floor. He ran to the closest side of the circular court with the pond in the center. It looked like the court of the temples. Large chairs in a horseshoe the largest one in the top of the horseshoe and 2 medium sized ones beside it. He was taken aback by the similarity of it. The court of the temples even had the same flower design in the back of the large seat. Then it stuck him. He read once that the court of the temples was fashioned to be a smaller duplicate of the court of the gods. He read that the architect that constructed the court of the temples was graced to come to this court to make one like it for all the followers of the gods. Each chair in the temple court was taken by the high priest or priestess of the temple of god they were at. He bet that was the same here but with the real gods. Suddenly with a sharp sound the gods started to go to their seats. He was in the way of the god of trees. He moved to the side without any notice and the old female god walked slowly by. They sat down and waited for something. He decided that he should be known by the right god. So he made his way along the edge to the head god. From what he remembered was that she was the leader and adorer of humankind. He got there after 20 minutes or so and steeped out. He yelled then bowed to the great goddess. They did not notice him. He yelled again even louder. Finally the god of plants, Rosenthron, noticed and said with a start something that he could not understand. The great goddess saw and was speechless for some reason that he could not see. It was a mix of disbelief, sadness, and shock. The other gods looked puzzled and murmurs went through the crowd of 12 not knowing what is going on. The Great Goddis spoke in there language to the others they quieted then spoke to him.
