“Hello, Mother,” Eros’s voice rang out as Ray came and withdrew from Janine, his cock on full display from his third lover ever, “that’s a rather ... impressive dick for a mortal man that this one has. Anyway, I came to meet my brother at last and remind you that the erotes are a little bothered by your absence, Mother.”
“Well, I’ve put you in charge of them for the moment, son. Eros, meet your brother, though technically half-brother, Philip Larusso. I hope to make him a God, if you follow me,” Mom explained to my brother, “Phil, honey, this is the legendary Eros, chief of the erotes, my adopted son. Really, he’s been around longer than most. Longer than me, but he wanted me to adopt him, so I did. Long story on that. Ares and I adopted him, back when we were lovers. We still have fun now and then, of course, he and I. We’re just not as romantic as we used to be.”
“Wow, you have it bad for him, don’t you, Mother?” Eros exclaimed as I stood there with my company of naked people of both sexes.
“That I do! Is that so terrible?” Mom asked him.
“No, not really,” another voice joined us, this time from a man with winged shoes.
“Hermes, I presume? God of trade, messenger of Zeus?” I introduced myself, “I’m Philip Larusso, son of Aphrodite and Dino Larusso.”
“So, you’re the demigod son of hers who won our Aphrodite’s heart! Look, I want it to be known that I didn’t make this decision, but it comes from Zeus the All-Wise, Himself. King of Heaven, King of the Gods, etc. Zeus will grant your petition, Aphrodite, and make Philip here a full-blown God of the Olympians on three conditions. Once the pact is made, it cannot be reversed, so bear in mind when making that choice,” Hermes informed us all.
“Very well, what are they?” Mom inquired now, my own curiosity piqued as well as hers.
“One, that he handpicks a sizable number of people, worthy of what is being asked of him, to create a community that will be able to hold its own in the new society sure to follow. Two, that he takes them back to the past to a time and place of his choosing. Don’t worry, the events affecting them in the timeline that is altered will not be reversed regardless of what else is.
“Philip must find a place in time where he can found a settlement, a community of sorts, a colony where steam is used as the main source of power instead of fossil fuels. Coal, oil, natural gas, all must be forbidden within said territory. It will be a religious community, one patronized by both of you, but also with reverence for all Gods. You can visit him as much as you wish, of course.
