The world screwed up.

When aliens first came to our solar system we were overjoyed. Admittedly some were a bit weary but we still welcomed them with open arms. I for one was terrified but I have to admit I was curious. 

But when they came it didn’t got nearly as well as we hoped. They took one look of us and thought that we were unfit to be in control in our planet. They said we must give up control of Earth. 

We didn’t 

Us humans are terrible on so many levels and even if we didn’t deserve the planet we weren’t willing to give it up .

The world leaders came together and planned a huge assault on the main ship hoping to decimate them. As far as the world knows it didn’t work. The bombs were somehow deactivated, the bullets didn’t seem to affect them too much, and the soldiers names are well honored today. 

The war began and we are losing terribly. But we’re not done. Humans are a little too stubborn to give up on hope. But the countries fell. Now people are split up in rebellion groups. Doing what we can to help each other and stop the enemies as much as possible. 

Attacks kept coming and groups were disappearing left and right and the attacks were getting more and more ruthless. 

Then the stories started coming.

They first just seemed odd but nothing to think too much big. But still…large tsunamis that hit the aliens costal bases but never seemed to come close to the rebellion groups that were set there. Volcanoes erupting even doormat ones and lava only affecting areas where the aliens weapons were held. A freak storm that wiped out an army that was advancing on a large rebellion group. 

But things got weirder. Rumors spread of armies of aliens dead on the ground with flowers growing out of them. A man with shadows and a woman with flowers always seemed close by. They didn’t shut up about a woman so beautiful she stopped a running army right in it’s tracks but her pleasant face soon turned dangerous and with a word the aliens turned and killed each other.

Things kept happening. Their were aliens that had trees growing through them. People claimed to see monsters in the ocean taking out enemy ships. The aliens somehow gone insane when faced with a man with purple eyes. They talked of glowing chariots that charged towards armies with fury unmatched. 

But it can’t be true. 

I only believed it when I saw it with my own eyes. I was on a supply run when I got trapped in the forest and in the clearing faced the largest army I’ve seen so far. A feeling of dread spread through me. I hung the supplies in a tree in hope that the group would find it. 

As I walked out to the clearing the army slowly advanced. But before I could do anything two being stepped out of the forest. Twins. They glowed impossibly bright like the sun and moon. 

The man and woman looked young but their eyes told a different story. There were eyes that seen a lot of things and held a lot of age and I instantly knew who they were. They had arrows in their hands and the woman had wolves closely following her. Then the man started to sing. It was eery and beautiful and he sung of a prophecy. While he sung the twins cocked their arrows and they attacked. Every arrow hit. The wolves attacked and the mans singing made the aliens collapse and start sobbing, some of them dropped dead. 

Nothing even touched me. I heard the song but it wasn’t meant for me. It never spoke it’s truth to me. But the aliens felt all of it and you can see it affecting them. But still the power vibrated in the air and I felt myself fall to the ground and close my eyes.

But the music stopped abruptly and I opened my eyes. The bodies of the aliens laid dead right where they stood moments before. There were arrows in every alien all struck the same place exactly. Not a millimeter off.  

The twins stood in the middle of it glowing brightly compared to the bodies. I shakily stood up and wiped the blood off my ear. The twins gently smiled and spoke in unison “Did you really thing we left forever?” Two chariots descended and I watched as they were carried away to fight the next battle. 

When I went to get the supplies I found a bow and arrow set attached to it that faintly glowed. 

Yes monsters came to our world and the tricks up our sleeve didn’t quite work. But a couple of old ones came back. 

Yes the gods are real and it turns out they never quite left.

So now as I fight I fight with the gods. 

(Hey everyone I saw this story prompt on Tumblr and made this. I know it’s not very good but I decided to put it on here cause I sorta ran out of ideas on what to write about. But hey I hope you enjoyed!)

Thanks for reading!
