Apollymi
The
Goddess of Life, Death and Wisdom, Apollymi is the
daughter of Chaos (the formless matter that
birthed the universe) and Zenobi (the Atlantean
north wind). She holds many epitaphs including:
The Destroyer, The Bringer, The Giver, Biosia
(Life), Thanata (Death), Magosa (Wisdom), and
Fonia (The Killer).
Capricious
and vain, she is the most powerful of all the
Atlantean gods and can only be controlled by her
half-brother and husband, Archon.
She travels in the wind and can strike down her
victims in an instant. It is said those who are
about to die by her hand can glimpse her blond
hair swirling in the mist a second before they die
and at the instant of their death, the last vision
they hold is her merciless pale eyes.
A
goddess of contradictions, she tends to be loving
and kind in one breath and then brutal and cold in
the next. No one, not even her husband, is safe
from her wrath.
Fearful
of her vindictive nature, the other Atlantean gods
joined together and imprisoned her in Kolasis (a
hellish plane between dimensions).
There
are various legends that tell of her release. Some
claim it is only by the sacrificial blood of an
Atlantean that she can be freed, while others
claim it is strictly the hand of her lost son
Apostolos that can
free her.
Because
of her imprisonment, she, alone, escaped death
when Atlantis was destroyed. Now she sits in her
prison, awaiting her release so that she can wreak her havoc across the earth and
bring about Telikos--the end of the world as we
know it..
