`` Why hello there. I am Maddy, Nick, Temhos, Foldy, Shade, Shackle, Quincy, William and Jenova, but please, call me Ajax.'' Ajax bowed before the almighty Olympian, Zeus. 
 
 `` What is it you've come for, Ajax with many names?'' Zeus asked in his boisterous voice. 
 
 The voice threw back Ajax for a moment. He always worked with small-time deities, but he was looking to retire soon. Pulling off this con would give him enough divinity for his own world. After almost 8000 years of mulling about on Earth, it was time to get serious. 
 
 `` It has come to my divine attention that your divinity is going to utmost waste!'' began Ajax. `` I've seen it all over the world, many times over. Even I once had a following that slowly tickled away. I know how it feels—I know how you feel.'' 
 
 `` Do not speak to my feeling!'' proclaimed Zeus. `` You may be divine, but you never fought off Titans, you never charmed gods and mortals alike, and you never held all encompassing power over a civilization.'' Zeus slammed his fist down on his throne. The entire hall of Mt. Olympus shook violently. Ajax tried to reclaim himself. 
 
 `` Of course, I have never, but I have seen many greats falls. I have seen the years in which your following dwindled. First, you were forsaken for Jupiter, a god in your image and then Jesus Christ usurped your position entirely. I'm afraid for you, there will be no returning.'' Zeus stirred uncomfortably. For many years this reality bothered him, but without belief, he could do nothing with his power on Earth. 
 
 `` I have an opportunity for you,'' began Ajax. `` One that will allow you to rise again in glory. You can create, alter, fornicate, rule and dictate the flow of a new civilization. It does not await for you here though. It is on Galaxy 46862.'' 
 
 Zeus' eyebrows raised behind his perfectly flowing white hair. `` That is not of this universe though. Our universe only encompasses Galaxies 309-22049.'' 
 
 `` You are correct. You would have to withdraw your power from this universe so it may grow elsewhere. It is like when humans place their money in investments. It is n't technically gone, and it has the ability to grow when they do so,'' explained Ajax. 
 
 Zeus thought long and hard. 
 
 `` Some humans still believe in me though. I might rise to power again,'' said Zeus. 
 
 `` Please Zeus, you only really appear in video games anymore. Even the Statue of Zeus your people built for you did n't survive. Earth is not where you need to be. You're power is sitting here, wasting away.'' 
 
 Glory ran through Zeus' mind. He remembered the good old times. Men sacrificing animals in his name. Waging war and asking his hand guide them. Walking about and sleeping with the most beautiful female humans. Even the war with his father. Earth held many memories for him. 
 
 `` Do I have to leave?'' asked Zeus. 
 
 `` No, no. The process is quite simple really. I have a contract written up and all you have to do is sign over your power to Galaxy 46862. There it can grow and if the off-chance your resurrection on Earth occurs, you can have it back.'' A lie. The only thing that would blind Zeus to this was his lust for his power to go to use. Ajax held everything to this. If it faltered, Zeus would surely destroy him. 
 
 Zeus stood up, walked to the edge of the hall and looked down on Earth. It was true. There was not much left for him there. The civilization he watched over had vanished. It was as the humans called it'ancient history'. Now humans learn that people believed in Zeus, but not to believe in him. Zeus walked back to his throne and sat down. 
 
 `` I agree,'' he said. Ajax was astonished, but hid it from his face. 
 
 `` As you wish, supreme one. Your power will no longer waste away here.'' Ajax took out a scroll made of gold leaf and a feather for signing. Zeus examined and snapped the feather in half before throwing it to the ground. Ajax grew uncomfortable. 
 
 `` I am the lord of Mt. Olympus, do you really think I need a feather to sign?'' Zeus asked, rhetorically. With a gesture of his hand, his signature signed onto the leaf. 
 
 Immediately the power could be seen flowing from Zeus. A golden shine filled the hall, like a morning fog being pierced by the sunrise. All of it swirled and condensed into the right pouch of Ajax. Zeus looked puzzled. 
 
 `` Hello brother,'' said Poseidon, beside Zeus' throne. In a quick movement, Poseidon's trident pierced Zeus' chest. Without his power, Zeus could do nothing but fall off his throne in pain. Poseidon walked and sat in his place. 
 
 `` Thank you,'' he said to Ajax. 
 
 `` No, thank you,'' smiled Ajax. `` I now hold the power of Zeus, of the mightiest Olympian, king and ruler of Mt. Olympus.'' Lightning began to spring from Ajax's hands. With a violent rush, it shot at Poseidon, who was no match for its power. 
 
 With both gods wincing in pain, Ajax began to walk towards the throne. He walked up the mighty steps, forged in the ancient days atop the mountain. Down he sat on the golden-marble throne. His skin began to change, along with his body. His face began to resemble closely to a jackal. He announced: 
 
 `` I am Set, lord of Mt. Olympus. Your mightiest have fallen and now I shall rule.'' 
 
 Set turned to Zeus, `` I'm deeply sorry, I think I forgot to mention that name. I have so many, it just slipped my mind.'' His laugh ripped from the mountain tops and traveled across the world.
