Starbolts #747: Love and Wisdom

 Hail!

    Well, that's one way to solve a problem, right? Kyodon no longer has to worry about being used like a weapon. She is, as Marcus put it, a free turtle. I think this is akin to the genie breaking free of the lamp in Aladdin. However, Kyodon wanted the thing destroyed so it would never harm her again. It probably was cathartic to see it destroyed like that. She did not waste any time!

       This week we met two more gods in the Aquan pantheon! Erosi, the goddess of love and wisdom and Illia, the goddess of fertility. The roster of gods has grown a lot in recent years. I mean here's who we have so far:

Aquita: the goddess of the sea

Delclina: The god of the sky

Xazes: The god of justice

Grunn: The god of the land

Heliosa: The goddess of the sun

The gods of war and discord

The goddess of death  

 There are probably more gods out there. I just need to create them and flesh out their stories. The twin goddesses here are pretty tame of you compare them to their Greco-Roman counterparts on Earth. Seriously, Aphrodite had some serious issues. For a goddess of beauty she can't seem to kick her jealous streak. Eh, I suppose that's what makes the myths so much fun. I should also note that Erosi is also the goddess of wisdom. Love is wise, after all. 

    We'll likely see the idol pop up again. Next comic, in fact. I'm pretty sure the other Starbolts will be taken aback by this gift from the gods. The question is. Does it come with a hefty price tag? OR! Will Crystal and Marcus get way with everything? I think they might have had an easy time because of the fact that their friends are avatars of the gods.

That probably scored a few points in their favor. 

See ya next time!
