Betrayal at the Pentagon! Has Another God Fallen?

Another Day Another Deception

Hmph. So the mortal realm believes itself immune to treachery? Foolish. I Kratos have seen gods betray gods fathers betray sons! Now word reaches my ears of one Dan Caldwell advisor to some…'Defense Secretary'…being dragged from their fortress. Accusations of 'unauthorized disclosure' fly like arrows from a Draugr's bow. Is this truly surprising? I think not. Mortals scheme and plot as readily as any deity on Olympus. This is their nature; This is the cycle!

Secrets and Lies: The Coin of This Realm

This Caldwell was apparently close to this Hegseth a valued point of contact. A 'text chain' revealed his importance. Such… technology. How far the mortals have come yet their hearts remain filled with the same darkness that consumed Ares! They whisper of 'national security information.' Bah! Every kingdom has its secrets every leader their lies. It is the price of power! But who benefits from this treachery? 'We must be better than this' I told my son. I see no difference now.

Polygraph? Hmph. I Prefer the Blades.

They speak of a 'polygraph,' a contraption to detect falsehoods. A pathetic tool! The Blades of Chaos can carve truth from flesh and bone but these mortals rely on machines? 'Do not mistake my silence for lack of knowledge.' This I would tell this Hegseth and search his soul myself!

The Atlantic Roars (Again)

This ‘Atlantic’ magazine apparently exposed the truth. A curious mortal weapon the press. It spreads information like the plague of Hades! This Caldwell was supposedly a key figure in planning strikes against the…Houthis? More blood more conflict. Mortals are truly addicted to it.

Who Profits from the Chaos?

The investigation continues they say. But who truly seeks justice and who merely seeks to bury the truth deeper? The powerful rarely act out of pure motives. Look at Zeus! Look at Odin! Each god seeks to maintain a realm they have built. This I know.

Boy! Learn From Their Mistakes

Let this be a lesson boy! Trust no one. Not your allies not your leaders. For even the closest companion can wield a dagger in the dark. 'Close your heart to their suffering' but see the machinations for what they are. Power corrupts and mortals like gods are easily corrupted.
