Louis the fourteenth

Back in 18th century France, one man was ruling over a large patch of Europe from the Abyss, Louis the fourteenth. Many call him the Sun King to this day, even the non-Abyss people know him by this name. But what not many people know, Abyssian or otherwise, is that there was a reason that he was called that. Louis, like John, was a late bloomer, given powers by Gaia herself. However, unlike John, he was given his powers by the age of nine. He had the power of the royal household behind him, so he had the money and space to grow without bounds. And as with many a king, the more powerful he got, the more envious he got of those that were above him, wanting nothing more than to drag them down and take their place in the heavens. Louis had developed a grudge against the gods; he thought it was unfair that they held the power over so many mortals while he, one of the most powerful figures of his time, was just a ‘mere’ king. In his eyes they did not deserve their position, they did not have the right to be in power, but he did.”

“It was the year 1702 when old Louis invited Helios, the Greek god of the sun, to his palace to have a chat, Helios being one of the few gods that he was on friendly terms with. The two of them drank, celebrated and made merry, until eventually night fell and Helios’ powers waned. It was at this moment that Louis struck, gathering all his mana in one gigantic attack, obliterating poor Helios in one strike; the god had no inclination to think his friend would turn on him, and he paid for it with his life. Louis took Helios’ divinity; he ripped it from his deceased body and started calling himself the Sun King. To great anger from the rest of the Greek pantheon, he had betrayed one of their own and wore the stolen divinity as a gruesome trophy of his deed…”
