Golden Mountain
School for Future Gods & Goddesses
Golden Mountain was created by Hera, the Queen of the gods and goddesses. She felt that all future gods and goddesses deserved a chance to learn what their roles in the world were going to be and what would be expected from each of them. She enlisted the help of many gods and goddesses to help her along the way of teaching the younglings of what they would need to know to be great gods and goddesses of the future. Golden Mountain consists of: one large castle like structure, an arena, a stable, and a training area, an archery course, and a large lake. Golden Mountain isn't truly made of gold, it is like any other mountain someone would see filled with wildlife and greenery. The highest peak reaches above the clouds where a shrine/praying area is. The praying area is used for meditation to help teach the students patience and diligence.
The boys' quarters are in the west wing, they are only separated by light and dark. The light are those that are going to be gods of good forces, while the dark or for gods of the underworld, or dark forces. They have a common room where all of the boys are allowed to 'hang out' and converse with one another. The girls quarters are in the east wing, they are also separated by light and dark just like the boys and have their own common room as well. Each sleeping area has been decorated to tell the history of the gods or goddesses that came before them with paintings of great detail that show past battles and fetes of the gods or goddesses. Each boy and girl has their own room though they all girls must share two bathrooms while the boys must also share two bathrooms in their quarters.
There are many different classes that the students may take. There is; history, divination, archery, equestrian, potions, gardening, fencing, dance, and many more. Each student is allowed to choose their classes; Hera felt it would be against their own free will if they were forced to take certain classes. They are only required to take one class and that is meditation. Each student has to take meditation to learn patience, diligence, and respect for nature. All gods and goddesses are expected the respect the earth and the gifts it gives them. Without the earth each god and goddess would be pointless and would not exist for their gifts come from the earth. Zues makes frequent visits to the school to see how well each student is doing in their studies. Once a year there is also held one tournament, the tournament tests the skills of the students to see if they are ready to go out and do their duties yet. Each 7th year student is required to participate in the tournament and students in lower levels are allowed to participate, though there has never been one to come out as a winner.
The fall leaves have begun to fall so that means that classes are starting, the doors are open as candle flames dance on their wicks welcoming new students from all around the world into their humble abode. Stone steps shall be taken to the double wooden doors of the entry way, more stone will greet the students as they enter Golden Mountain. Each student will be ushered to the dining hall, where they will be greeted by Hera and fed a plentiful dinner of a vast variety of food as candles flickers in their stands. Vines climb the walls reaching for the cathedral like ceilings. Let the school year begin.
