Hou Yi and Chang'e

So as you can tell from my previous post I am really into smite. I was interested in the different mythos anyway and smite just strengthened it and incresed my knowledge.

But there are those who are not to keen on Smite (God forbid) but still are interested in the mythology, so I thought every so often I would write about a mythos story, this is also because I like Really liek to talk about such things. It's best to remember that there will be several renditions of the stories.

This story is About the hero Hou YI and Chang'e the Fairie of the moon.

So Hou Yi and Chang'e are both Immortals, they one day both went to the same party. Now Chang'e is a very gracefull dancer and when she was doing her thing at the party Hou Yi just had to get some of that. So like a disney movie they quickly fell in love and married.

Later on the Jade Emporers sons for some reason had become suns in the sky, thats right his S O N S were also S U N S, anyway there was now 10 sons in the sky which was far too many. Crops began to wither up and dry so Hou yi decided he would take them out using a bow, at first he tried to scare them off by simply firing around them, this did not work. So the only other thing he could do is to fire directly at the suns, nine times he fired an arrow and nine times a sun would die and for some reason wierd golden bird things fell down from the suns.



The problem is that it just so happened that the Jade emporer was something of a proud dad so was not very pleased about the whole killing his sons thing, therefore he banished Both Hou Yi and Chang'e from the heavens, because you know they are married so they do everything together.

So Hou Yi and Chang'e were not satisfied with a mortal life on earth, Hou Yi decided he would craft an elixir that would bestow immortality on whoever would drink it and take them to the heavens. Hou Yi made the elixir, enough for two in fact, but before they would drink it Hou Yi decided that it would be better with food so got his priorities in order to go out and the food. While he was out some bandits who had heard about the elixir came to take it for themselves, so Chang'e did the best thing and downed it all in one, but because she drank two portions worth she was blasted past the heavens and to the moon, were she spends all her time hanging out with some rabbit (don't ask me I dont know how it got up ther either).

Hope you enjoyed, please comment on any stories you want to here my rendition on.
