DIVINE AWAKENING
THE PROPHECY
For millennia, Greek and Roman deities have ruled from the shadows, shaping history, building empires, and creating supernatural bloodlines that would change the world forever.
When an ancient oracle speaks this prophecy foretelling Zeus's downfall, the Olympian king descends into paranoia. Convinced the threat comes from nature-aligned deities scattered across the mortal realm, Zeus unleashes a devastating war.
To eliminate the threat, Zeus sends monsters to invade Apokryfo — the hidden sanctuary realm created by Gaia to protect nature deities from Zeus's divine wrath. But the sanctuary shelters more than deities. Vampires, werewolves, witches, and mortals of divine blood all dwell there, living alongside the deities Zeus hunts.
Zeus's monsters have one brutal purpose: eliminate anyone aligned with nature magic. Everyone else? Collateral casualties in a divine purge. Though Zeus's paranoia extends beyond the nature realm. Any deity who allies with the hunted — Olympian or otherwise — faces imprisonment. Loyalty to Zeus becomes the only acceptable path.
Yet prophecies cannot be controlled. As millennia unfold, alliances shift. Powers awaken. And the question remains: Which "child of nature and magic" will fulfill the prophecy? A nature deity with ancient power? Or one of those caught in the crossfire?
Fate keeps its secrets. And the answer may surprise everyone.
THE INHABITANTS OF APOKRYFO
Apokryfo — Gaia's sanctuary realm, a hidden world parallel to the mortal one where nature thrives and divine wars were never meant to reach. But when Zeus declares nature-aligned deities a threat, their sanctuary becomes a battleground.
Nature-Aligned Deities
Ancient powers tied to the wild places of the world. Beings who embody forests, rivers, mountains, and sacred groves. They predate Olympus, and they do not bow to Zeus's rule. When Zeus's monsters breach the sanctuary's borders, the nature deities fight to protect their realm, their freedom, and their very existence.
The First Werewolves
Born from a divine curse in the waning days of the Mycenaean period, werewolves are created as instruments of divine wrath. Transformed into beasts, they become both weapons and victims in an ancient conflict. Their bloodline endures for millennia.
Ancient Witch Lineages
Descended from a goddess of magic, witches inherit power that connects them to the mystical arts, the natural world, and ancient rituals. Their magic — rooted in nature and older than Olympus itself — flows through bloodlines that will shape the future.
The Vampire Bloodlines
Created from forbidden divine power and ritual sacrifice, vampires emerge as immortal predators with abilities that rival the gods themselves. Their creation defies natural order, making them both powerful allies and dangerous wildcards.
Mortals of Divine Blood
Descendants of gods who walk the mortal world — demigods and those carrying fragments of divine power in their veins. Neither fully mortal nor divine, they possess abilities that set them apart, making them vulnerable when Zeus's war reaches the sanctuary.
When Zeus's persecution begins, all who dwell in Apokryfo become targets — hunted not for what they are, but for where they live. Some form alliances with the hunted deities. Others seek their own paths to survival. And as millennia pass, their role in the prophecy becomes impossible to ignore.
