Today, the Blessed would be giving offerings to their patron Deities. It meant a bit extra to him as Zeus was not only the God who blessed him. The figure who was not only larger than life, but easily one of the most powerful and recognizable Gods as the King of Olympus. That meant he had to impress the big guy, <em>and</em> get him something that wouldn't make him complain about fathers day. But what could you offer the God who literally had it all?<br/><br/> The question ran through Zach's head the rest of the day and night until he fell asleep. It had taken some help from a few of the Hephaestus blessed to make him what he needed, but he was very satisfied with the end result. A <em>bottle</em>. Not just any bottle however, as this one was made of the strongest glass, and had inlays of gold and silver depicting Zeus atop Mt. Olympus, his legendary bolt of lightning gripped tightly in his hand. Of course to get such good work in such a short time, he'd had to offer them a week or two of free labor, so now he had to look forward to toting around anvils and other extremely heavy things for a while. <br/><br/>But it was worth it. When he woke up, it was early as usual, and in his closet he found a set of armor that he figured was the best thing he could wear today. He strapped it on, and with his bottle tucked under his arm, walked out of the house and toward the gate. Others had already gathered when he arrived, and while he could have gotten there much earlier, a lot of the time since he'd been awake was spent worrying about the ceremony. What if his father didn't like his gift? They'd only spoken once, and he actually wanted to get to know the man...God, whatever. <br/><br/>But if this went wrong, would he ever get the chance? Would he ever be seen as worthy? The doubts bubbled up, but then he pushed them down. He always got nervous before fights and events, so this was no different, right? When he walked up, he nodded and gave hello's to the people there, especially the ones he knew. When he made it to Lex, however, he stopped and looked down at the head with the bloody neck being held by the hair on her hip. <br/><br/>"Soooo...they tell us we need to offer a sacrifice to our God, and you being blessed by Ares, decide to go out and muder a whole dude, then bring back his head?" Then he thought for a moment, and shrugged. "I was gonna say he probably would have enjoyed you blowin' something up or getting him a rocket launcher or something. But a decapitated head of someone who probably deserved it...I guess it's not too bad considering. Are you gonna...burn it, or somethin'? I'm not really well versed on how you offer up a human head." He still held his bottle to his side, slowly growing more confident that his father would enjoy what he had to offer up. Looking up in the sky, he saw his large eagle circling high above everyone, so he held his arm out and waited for the majestic creature to soar down and land on his outstretched appendage. "Good morning my friend. Ready for today?" Thorondor flapped his wings before pecking affectionately at Zach's shoulder. It seemed he was excited too.<br/><br/></span><br/>
