__ How Dominus Put Out the Fire on Mount Flammeus  __ 10,000 years ago, after Prometheus gave the mortals fire, a place called Mount Flammeus was beginning to burn up. Although Zeus had punished Prometheus and hung him up in the sky to have his liver eaten daily by vultures, fire still existed and was spreading amongst the land. Only forests and fields had burned so far, however it would not be long until all of Mount Flammeus was down to ashes. The ruler of Mount Flammeus, Dominus, was not affected since he was an almighty and powerful god, however all of the mortals who lived on his land were. Mount Flammeus was becoming too hot and dangerous for humans and soon they would be unable to survive. Some of them worked at his palace, tending to the farms or keeping his castle clean and others were his friends. The fact that his people would soon be demolished made Dominus extremely upset and whenever Dominus became upset, he could not control his emotions. Since Dominus’s castle on Mount Flammeus was built on the top of the highest mountain, Dominus had not yet seen to extent to the fire. He had only heard about it from his people since he spent most of his time on his throne high above the clouds. As the time went by, more and more mortals called to him or sent him messages for help. He did not know how he could help, which is why he had not flown down sooner, but to try to relieve his aggravation, Dominus decided to go down and take a trip over Mount Flammeus to see how badly his lands were burning. But this only made him even angrier. As he was flying, he watched as his lands slowly began to burn. He got so aggravated because he did not know what to do, and that was the worst feeling for him, to be helpless for his mortals. His aggravation turned to anger, which turned to rage. His hair turn bright orange and his eyes became blood red. Finally his rage became sorrow and soon, as he did not control his emotions, he began to cry. One by one his tears poured down his face and hit the ground. Slowly, he was putting out the fire and cooling Mount Flammeus. However, Dominus was too busy weeping so much and feeling bad for his people, that by this point he had not notice what was happening. By the time he finally realized, his tears had put out the entire fire of Mount Flammeus! …So this is what explains the origin of rain. It is believed that whenever it rains, Dominus is flying above the land crying. This is also why Dominus is now known as not only the ruler of Mount Flammeus, but the god of rain and tears and his symbol is a tear or rain drop.
