Nearly anyone who wants to get ahead in life these days and not be stuck in a crappy dead-end job their entire lives. Of course depending on how much additional stress and trauma those trials are going to inflict on my mc it may not matter in the end anyway, I mean it’s not like Queen Theresa would need something as common as a job.
The problem is still that the magic we can use even semi-reliably is really weak stuff that our competitors can blow through easily. We’d have to be very sneaky about it, have a good amount of luck and time it very carefully in order for the weak magic we do know to be useful.
Presumably the Gods will know and they’ll tell it to their favourites. On the other hand in certain situations we probably cannot prevent our “teammates” and competitors observing us using the stuff, so unless we only use it shortly before we kill one of the others in a one on one situation with no witnesses ever present it’s going to come out and sooner rather than later at that.
The only thing my mc would be willing to sacrifice himself for at this point is if he knew that doing so would somehow break that damned cycle of re-incarnation and allow him to stay dead, nothing else would qualify at this point.
Lol, yeah. Honestly, they’d most likely assume it was one of your own possessions. You did have a bag with you, not sure what everyone headcanoned Lavei carrying besides the items from the Magikeep. No one knows about the knife besides Sage, for obvious reasons. I mean, if you killed Saxon and decided to take his knife as well, then that alone is pretty convincing evidence?
The court trial is inevitable regardless of whether you killed Saxon or not; it’s just a matter of when. It’ll be held off during prt. 1 for sure. It suits the theme of prt. 2 best.
i believe the traitors might be athena and hades and hades is the one doing it out of love also would bring more of feeling when they took the baby (MC) because then if athena took the mc maybe we were supposed to be on olympus the from the start but athena took you to raise you making you loyal to her because she is the only one that have given you information on the situation which means all she says might be a lie becuse we have only hear her side of the story
I hope not; that would crush my MC. She doesn’t really trust anybody in Olympus, but she trusts Athena with all of her heart. Finding out Athena has been lying to her to such an extent would not have a pretty outcome.
just join the dark side we will give you unlimited power plus if you do you can join athena and hades and you can all be one happy family and if your real evil we might even have cookies… with raisins
Didn’t you ever see the afterschool specials? Don’t get in the vehicles of strangers, look both ways before crossing the street, and don’t join Cronus and destroy the entire universe and betray everyone you’ve ever known. They were pretty clear on that.
So I can destroy the entire universe if I don’t join Kronos?
I honestly don’t care about Athena, she is just another my teacher at this point.
@idonotlikeusernames like I said we got a great one anyway and we couldn’t have made anything out of it anyway with the whole burn out thing. Plus transporting magical artifacts seemed pretty nice.
I’m pretty sure you can mess up the universe irregardless of your affiliations. It just impacts how likely you are to do such a thing. You have the power to punch anybody in the face, but you’re more likely to do it to somebody you dislike rather than somebody you like.
There’s lots of different avenues for weaknesses, though. To which aspect are you referring to?
Athena herself is probably a weakness for my MC in herself; like I said, she trusts Athena with everything she has. That’s probably going to come back and bite her in the ass at some point, though.
We’re still untrained (or at least not trained up to the same level as most of our competitors, let alone Aeson), utterly uninformed and thanks to that coma seemingly weaker then before we got to Olympus. Or my mc is at least even more traumatised now then he was before.
Yes, that trial is really going to do wonders to make my mc feel loved and welcomed and really help him deal with all the trauma.
To my mc it seems they have made up their minds already and that “trial” is either a formality to kill us anyway, even if we survive the deathtraps or something to ensure all the good rewards go exclusively to Aeson only should we survive the other “trials”.
I highly doubt the traitor is Athena. That would make quite the conundrum in the prologue x)
EDIT: But I do admit there’s a hole in my Ares’ theory as I also believe he’s the one taking possession of the hunters. See, Ares, to my understanding is driven by war, the need for power to win the war, and this alone could make him susceptible to falling under Cronus’ influence with a few pretty words; however, as far as we know Cronus’ is relying on the strength of the Essence, and in that regard, unless Cronus told him himself to kill the Bearer and in turn the Bearer, this leads me to double guess myself. He probably just wants the Bearer dead to remove his influence from the playing field, but so badly he would fall in line with Cronus? That is the question.
So who does that make the traitor then? Well, if he’s right under Zeus’ nose, he could easily be our father, one the brothers of Zeus, and he could very well be doing it for our own well being. Perhaps he’s under the assumption Cronus won’t kill us or something to that effect? This theory is shaky at best, but there’s not very many major players so far and introducing a baddy out of the blue isn’t always the best thing to do. Hermes is also plausible though, seeing as he’s the messenger, but is he really so important we would be given temporary control over him?
Yes, that would interfere directly with the prologue since Athena’s mentioned after the traitor leaves the Prophet’s room. Why would that happen if she was in the room with her, as the traitor was?
@Rohie the damn knife has a damn text carving saying SAXON FROM SAGE AND YOU ARE ACCUSED TO KILL SOMEONE CALLED SAXON… Imean or they don’t. Know how read or are 100 stupid. All my damn possessions are being monitoring two damn weeks except my damn only weapon with the name of the guy I supposedly kill … They never saw CSI lol.
I kind of agree with Mara though; if there is any way in which they genuinely did not see the engraving on the dagger, either through misreading it for some reason or sheer incompetence, then that person or team of people needs to be summarily kicked out of Olympus immediately for the safety of everybody else.
If you did decide to take the dagger with you, they’re likely hiding your possession of it until it gets to the trial for maximum effect. Keeping the murder of Sage’s brother seems like something bound to be clandestine until you’re in the midst of a trial for it; keeping it under wraps so they can either investigate it further in secret or hit you with a trump card should you choose to deny it.
I thought MC’s possessions were kept away by the healers? And the healers have certainly better things to do as to snoop the Bearer’s stuff.
I think the trials/war by now have priority and the only reason the gods will hold the trial for murder of the Seekers will probably be because Sage will drive it forward before the end of the trials/the start of the war. So by now they don’t have that much reason to research the situation further.
Can you not be a jerk about this? I just try to come up with explanations to connect what we heard by Rohie about this with what is writen in the game.
Not their priority, as @Sammysam says. You have to remember that these are rumors on Olympus, and ones that no one is confident enough to step up and accuse you of. If they truly had enough evidence they would have kept you prisoner instead of taking you straight to the hospital.
It’s not like Sage herself riffled through your possessions, looking for clues. In my mind it was either Avery, who believes you’re innocent for her own reasons, or a common nurse, who’d be too afraid of you to snoop.
Besides, I’m not sure if you read closely, but Calypso says that she and Saint will plead your temporary innocence, which sort of snuffs the “killer” fire, but only by a little bit.
If none of that makes sense, then lets chalk this up to one of those things in magical-Universes that just don’t make sense.
we will give you unlimited power plus if you do you can join athena and hades and you can all be one happy family 
and if your real evil we might even have cookies… with raisins 
seems kind of creepy and ghoulish that you carry around a trophy of your first kill
