Pallas

used to be a God of Warcraft.

But Zeus could not allow this,

so he took some of his gifts

to maintain control over him.

Then Pallas became a God of Craftmanship.

He built palaces and weapons.

I did not often see much of him

as he was always wandering the earth.

His gifts of creation were

always needed in the land of the living.

But his real love was crafting

wooden toys. His daughter Bia,

he told me once, loved wooden toys. When

he visited, he filled my palace with his small gifts.

Once, I asked him about his brother, my father,

but his eyes darkened with something

unnamed and he stormed out of my halls.

The next day I found a carefully crafted

eagle sitting over the fireplace.

A gift, an explanation or an apology?

Perhaps all three.
