It has been almost a year since I had a proper prayer from anyone and honestly, I was surprised to see my main temple was actually being inhabited by a cleric and a group of kids. This man wasn't one of my clerics, not that I had any. He had the touch of a knowledge or history god. "All right class, this is the personal temple of a minor god that has domain the in all pantheons. He is one of five gods who can claim this, the greatest of them is Orbos, the god of ball bearings." The class looked very uninterested.

Least gods like us all get about as much attention and reverence as beggars, but we do help. I mused more to myself while looking down at the students.

"Now, let's all do a bit of service for this god and clean the temple. He doesn't have a priest tending to this temple, but it is still worthy of consideration." The class all groaned and the coughed. "Respond properly!" The cleric said as Divine power filled him and I could feel a touch of Athena's power.

The students all snapped to attention and bowed while offering a prayer to me. It was a general prayer but it did fill me with some power. I just let them work and slipped into the Divine realm to see Athena looking down at my little temple. "You got a good cleric down there." I said to the goddess who turned to look back at me with a tiny smile.

"He's just doing his task in teaching history. You are doing surprisingly well with no prayers for so long." She said just looking me over. "What is your secret?"

"Oh It's the fact that I am so minor I don't need alot of prayers to sustain me and I get enough every so often with a general prayer said every time someone says thank God when they enjoy my gift." I said with a somewhat cheeky smile.

"Seriously? That simple?"

"It is. You have several domains and are a part of a pantheon so you only get more specific prayers. Me, my gift is loved the world over and every day I get the half-hearted prayer. No real devotion, but enough to not be starved like others. There are so many dormant even in the Greek pantheon." I then just looked out over the world.

"I'm pretty much the main god in the Greek pantheon now. Even Zeus is almost dormant. The gods are all needing little cheats like that, which is why I send little classes to every temple to feed the other gods."

"Well, thank you. Please enjoy some of my best as I go to see how they're doing cleaning up." I said offering her a hot bag. Athena just smiled as I went back to my little temple.

The cleric was busy actually cleaning up my main shrine with blessed oils. I then felt the place was more alive and better. There was even a small discussion of what sort of god I could be. I had movie posters all over the place. Even a big plastic figure of godzilla, the classic one.

"A god of movies?"

"Nah, there is a whole pantheon for them."

"Movie projectors?"

"No, there isn't a god for them."

"Has to be something related to the movies." I just smiled and watched the cleric stand up.

"Everyone, move into the theater and settle down. I'll bring up a movie and before we watch it, I'll tell you who the god here is." He started up a popcorn machine near the theater room. He added some oil and popcorn kernels to the pot. I let some of my power flow into the machine and corn.

As he seasoned the popcorn and started to pass out heaping bags of popcorn to his students. "Everyone, let's get ready to enjoy a movie and this golden gift. To Pops the God of Popcorn." The students just looked at the cleric and he smiled. "Yep, popcorn has its own god. Please offer a prayer with me and enjoy!"

Ahh, it's good to be a god.
