THE TWILIGHT OF THE GODS

Nearly all the myths tell of the ENDING OF THE RULE OF THE GODS. Between the gods were not always fair and it was their treachery in BETRAYING THEIR WORD that eventually brought about their downfall.  This is how it came about.
The beautiful LAND (in the sense of the SPIRITUAL plane) in which all the GOOD SPIRITS lived was PROTECTED BY A SERIES OF IMPREGNABLE WALLS (energy forces) which had been BUILT BY A GIANT (an earthly force) who demanded AS PAYMENT the MARRIAGE  between him and the DAUGHTER OF AN IMPORTANT CELESTIAL FORCE.
The GODS PROMISED the GIANT that he would MARRY HER when the WALLS were finished.
They DIDN'T KEEP THEIR WORD.
The SPIRIT OF SRIFE began to BREAK OUT ALL OVER THE WORLD and IN ALL the LOWER REGIONS, the SPIRIT OF TREACHERY and MALICE TOOK OVER.
The SPIRIT OF HAPPINESS AND PEACE WAS BETRAYED BY THE SPIRIT OF MALICE, and wherever he went, HE BEGAN TO BE TROUBLED by STRANGE DREAMS.
He ASKED FOR HELP and the GODS AGREED TO PROTECT HIM. The gods made every SPIRIT IN EARTH PROMISE never to betray or harm the spirit of HAPPINESS and PEACE. All agreed - the animals, plants and men -  except one young SPIRIT belonging to plants' kingdom which was too young to take an oath. Only the spirit of MALICE knew it.
One day, when the gods were rejoicing themselves TESTING THE INVINCIBILITY of the SPIRIT OF HAPPINESS, the spirit of MALICE COLLECTED A BRANCH OF the plant who didn't take the oath and PERSUADED  a blinded god to THROW THE BRANCH OVER THE SPIRIT OF HAPPINESS and PEACE. This BRANCH PIERCED the spirit of HAPPINESS and PEACE TO THE HEART and KILLED HIM.
This ENRAGED THE GODS and, KNOWING IT WAS MALICE that had caused this thing to happen, THEY CHAINED IT UP.                                                                    continue...
