One day Aronole the god was sitting on his throne as usual, but one day… he and Vaerion arrived at Earth’s first Taco Bell.

And by "arrived," we mean crashed through the ceiling riding a flaming scooter and a thunder-powered Segway respectively.

The Taco Bell cashier, Brenda, looked up from her phone, unimpressed. “Welcome to Taco Bell. Do you want to try our new volcano crunch screamwrapcombo?”

Vaerion’s eyes narrowed. “Does it come with vengeance?”

“Comes with a Baja Blast and a free churro if it’s Tuesday.”

Aronole clapped his hands. “We accept!”

They stepped forward, surveyed the menu with the solemnity of prophets studying ancient runes, and immediately descended into divine bickering.

Aronole: “I demand the Crunchwrap of Destiny, with extra lightning sauce.”

Vaerion: “You always get the lightning sauce. I want something dark… maybe… the Shadow Bean Burrito.”

Brenda: “That’s literally just the regular bean burrito we forgot to warm up.”

Suddenly, the fryer exploded (again — third time this week), and the gods took it as a sign from the heavens.

Vaerion declared, “This is sacred ground! We shall build a Temple of Tacos here and crown ourselves the Nacho Lords!”

Aronole agreed, raising his soft taco like Mjolnir. “So let it be written! So let it be dipped!”

A mortal child pointed at them and said, “Mom, why is that man in a toga yelling at the soda machine?”

The gods ignored the onlookers and proceeded to summon The Chalupa Beast, a giant, sentient taco with seven sauces and the ability to burp thunder. It roared, causing all soda dispensers to simultaneously shoot Baja Blast into the air like geysers.

Brenda didn’t even flinch. “This happens every full moon.”

Eventually, after many sauces were spilled and one unfortunate churro was mistaken for a divine scepter, Aronole and Vaerion declared peace.

They left the Taco Bell arm in arm, bellies full, scooter re-lit with cosmic fire, and Vaerion holding a Crunchwrap like it was his firstborn.

Behind them, Brenda finally clocked out and muttered, “I am so not getting paid enough for this pantheon nonsense.”
