Alesssandra Shaver of the Mountain

Alesssandra Shaver had spent her whole adult life acting as an oracle for the Olympians. Living high up in the mountains near the sacred pillars she was considered by the local citizens to be a portal through which the gods spoke.

She was chosen when only a child, from many potential candidates, using a selection process run by the computers built into the stones under their floating city. She had been educated together with the children of the Olympians, in both science and technology, to a level beyond that which is available to the normal residents of the Runiverse.

The reality of her life after her training was finished was slightly more mundane. Living alone high up in the mountain except for her baboon companion she rarely had other people to talk to. She had been provided with the finest Athenian Robe, a perfect ceremonial sun shield and a stunning golden sword to look the part she was supposed to play for the visiting villagers.

The Olympians provided her with knowledge to give to the residents who made the difficult climb to petition for help from her 'visions'. These were always accurate and sometimes useful, but mainly they were designed to re-enforce her claim on the mountain top where she requested the citizens keep away during specific meditation periods.

The main requirement they had for her was to ensure the docking point for their floating city was kept clear while they were using it so no one outside of Olympian society was aware of their location.

At first she enjoyed the role but over the years she got more and more lonely. The Olympians did not notice, not because they didn’t care but because for a thousand generations the selection process had always successfully chosen people who had enjoyed living their entire life as an oracle. Not once had it ever chosen incorrectly. 

The immortal Olympians no longer understood how the process worked but they trusted it. The were not looking to check if the smile on Alesssandra Shaver’s face got more and more shallow, if the greetings got shorter in length or if the security she had put in place not longer got repaired as quickly as it once had done.

An ancient and rage filled mind, trapped within the stone blocks under the city for untold eons, looked out, through all of its invisible atom sized wormhole cameras, across the city and noticed all the changes. It was happy as finally everything was coming together.

It hoped the Olympians had enjoyed their time up in the clouds as soon their world was about to come crashing down around them, in a very literal way.
