Cadien sat on his throne and ruminated.

He was the God of Perfection. Beauty, Strength, Resilience, Speed. The master of all things physical, and those who sought improvement. And yet, in his absence, people had begun to associate him with concepts other than Perfection. Such was the nature of mortals. All those he had first spoken with two millennia ago were now dead, and this teachings had survived only through retellings, as well as the few corrections he made when he did occasionally reach out to his followers.

So it was perhaps not unsurprising that some people had begun to associate him with aspects other than his original purpose. Take Acadia, for example. He was the god of physical perfection. Strength and reflexes were vital for combat, were they not? And so, in Acadia he was revered as a God of War as well as a God of Strength and Beauty. Other regions had associated him with additional concepts as well, but War and Combat tended to be the most common - aside from Perfection, of course.

Normally, he disliked such interpretations, and would have sought to correct them, but as he heard the prayers of warriors and saw battlefields through their eyes, he began to reconsider. There many reasons mortals went to war. Some did it for personal gain, or simply because they enjoyed it, both of which Cadien found to be somewhat churlish. Those who saw war solely as a means to fill their pockets or as an excuse to commit atrocities were distasteful creatures.

But some had less materialistic reasons. There were those who took up a spear out of loyalty to their leader, or out of duty to their home and family. There were those who would put their own life at risk for what they believed was right. There were those who, after defeating an enemy, would gracefully accept a surrender and help them back to their feet. These men and women were admirable.

And deep down, Cadien could not deny, there was a certain thrill in watching the battles unfold. Seeing the best warriors on both sides clash, as well as the tricks their commanders had in store for one another.

Suddenly, the idea of being seen as a God of War seemed considerably more appealing to him. Other gods had expanded beyond their original purpose. Why not him? And in that moment, Cadien found himself accepting this new role, even if the idea had not originally been his.

[hider=Post Summary]
Cadien reflects on how divine teachings are distorted over time, and notes that there are some areas that sees him as a war god. After some thought, he realizes that some aspects of war are actually pretty cool, so he decides to become a War God.
