Tremble Foolish Mortals: The Gods and You , Class One [Period 5, Thursday]

The students were greeted with an empty classroom as they filed in.

Once everyone was seated, Ares appeared in a flash of blue light. "Greetings," he said. "I am Ares, God of War, and before you all start with the questions and flailing and prostrating yourself before me in worship, yes I am the Ares, and I am a real god. I'll be happy to give a demonstration to anyone who doesn't believe me." His tone suggested that while he might be happy to give a demonstrate, the person he gave it to wouldn't be.

"Now, to class. I'm assuming you all signed up because you want to learn more about the gods," Ares said, leaning against his desk. "Believe me you will. Forget the drunken ramblings of half-mad priests and madder politician, from me you'll be hearing firsthand accounts of the gods, in all their glorious and less than glorious moments. As you can see from the syllabus, we will be focusing on the Greek pantheon, otherwise known as the Olympians. Because, hey, you can't escape family."

"Because this is the first class, and I realise you may all be somewhat awed by being taught by me, a real live god, I'm going to go easy on you all, trust me, it won't happen again. Today you're just going to introduce yourself, tell the class which gods and goddesses you worship and why."

He waved a dismissive hand at the class. "Well, what are you waiting for, go on."

"I am Steerpike." He bowed slightly. "I am from the Earldom of Gormenghast, which, we are taught, is supposed to be all there is to the world. Apparently, this was incorrect. We were to look upon our Earl as our godly figure. He pales in the face of a real god, of course, and it's an honor to be in your class, sir."

Walter eyed Ares and stood when it was his turn.

Really, a god of war? He could get behind that.

But...

"My name is Walter Dornez. I am not related to Steerpike. I am from London about sixty years ago." He nodded to Ares. "There's a war on there.

"I work for a Protestant organization and I am Anglican. We worship one God. Not gods."

Hmmph, thought Steerpike. He wishes he was related to me. . . .

Then: Wait, did he just say my name right?

"My name is Alanna Trebond and I have a god in my bag I'm from Tortall. My patron goddess is the Great Mother Goddess and I'm very happy to hear that you have a much quiter voice than her." Well, Aly has to get some of her attitude from somewhere.
