de oceanis et fortuna

I mainly write them with the flow. I think of the deity's history and then their myths. I generally find myself using a lot of imagery and epithets or at least names I think correlate. I also like adding titles and achievements of these deities, like Slayer of Python, the Drunken, ect...

Do you have any format that you follow?

At Eulas (a mini prompt in devotion to Tyche.)

AT THE RUINS OF EULAS, IN FRONT OF THE SALVAGED STONES

Enter NEREIA and CLIO

NEREIA:

It has been a long time since the last day I have seen these walls.

The story isn't the happiest to tell, but I can count the moments in happiness and in growth.

Not that I want to tell it to thee, of course, but I am inclined to recalling it to I,

[since thou art listening.

Alas, it all begins dozens of years ago, when I was but a lowly child, unaware of this world’s

[banes and terrible tortures.

I was but a lowly child, in a world of suffering, merely preparing.

Sea, hadst thou given less to me ; I would thrash against thee ; o feasible death and ending,

[evanescent, crude, and terrifying!

Say that the gods to us have sent this revolution horrible in essence ; to whom will I scream, my

[heart’s contents?

CLIO:

To thine wishes, the gods have granted, the power imaginable to survive ay, it be blessings that

[you receive.

NEREIA:

Ay, ay, I know of blessings harder to describe in haste, this is not a bough, given to me

By great Gæa immortal ; it be the scourge inflicted by valiant hands that know me

Mine enemies, great in power ; scattered by diligent war

Ay, now I know, truly it be a blessing, the revolution at hand, the bloodshed

[it inflicts.
