Kharis
Project Overview
The King of the gods has a nightmare of Kronos threatening and defeating him. Is it a prophecy? Is Father Time to return? Zeus calls a meeting in Olympus to discuss it, and chaos builds up. From there, as panic and failed strategies rise, we learn more of the gods as a family behind closed doors.
Seven episodes, intertwined by fate.

The god of healing and the sun.

"Spare me from your arguing. It always ends up with 'Oh, Apollo, please help us' and 'Go on, Apollo, save this town'. I don't plan on dying to protect you from Kronos."
"Yes, you shall, I shall, we all shall. You are so formal when you're mad, sister."
The god of war.

The goddess of agriculture.

"Why should I listen to you after everything? Because you're my brother? Because of Kore? I've known what's best for Kore ages before you even decided to put your eyes on her."

"Now I see why you gave up your throne. How did you survive them for so long? Sometimes there's too much chaos even to me."

The god of the dead.
- male adult
"Nothing makes a man so bold as a woman's smile and a hand to hold, but all alone his blood runs thin and doubt comes in."
"This must be important. I have a lot of paperwork to do. I'm not sure if you recall, but humans don't stop dying because I am up above, unlike your seasons."
The god of the dead.
- male adult

"People don't understand that the things you create come to life the moment you make them. Not only with the mortals, it can be a sword or a throne, or even a plate."

The god of travel.

"Well, somebody's got to tell the tale, whether or not it turns out well. Maybe it will turn out this time."
"News flash, uncle! No need to go to Tartarus. Relieved? If I was here a minute later, you'd be gone. I don't know what I would say to the others. Can I write an eulogy to the god of the dead? Challenge accepted."
The goddess of hearth.
- warm
- female adult
"Tell me, what do you see when you look at them? Fellow power? Equals? Family? They may be hard to understand, but they love us and each other. And we are the bond that keeps them together."
"I am not a forest fire as much as I am a forest. It burns and burns, but it does not harm what it is not to be hurt. I understand the people around me."
The Queen of the gods
- Regal

"Alright, we had our troubles. Are you happy? I admit it. But I'm glad we're past sore moments. Everything is fine, at last. It is."

"Come, child. Sit with me. I could see your stress from the other side of the world. Tell me what is going on."
