Arums? Now that's a name that doesn't ring any immediate bells from mythology class, but I love digging into obscure lore! After some deep diving, I couldn't find any direct mythological ties—no Greek titans or Mesopotamian deities with that name. But here's the fun part: the word 'arum' actually refers to a genus of flowering plants (like the dramatic 'lords-and-ladies'), which ancient cultures associated with rebirth due to their perennial cycles. Some indie games or fantasy novels might've borrowed that botanical mystique for a character. I once stumbled upon an obscure web novel where 'Arums' was a forest spirit tied to poisoned arrows, which feels like a creative mashup of plant symbolism and mythological tricksters.
Honestly, the lack of clear roots makes it more intriguing. Maybe creators chose it precisely because it wasn't overused like Zeus or Odin. It leaves room for fresh worldbuilding—like how 'Pan' inspired countless satyrs, but 'Arums' could become someone's signature original mythos. I'd kill to see a dark fantasy anime give this name to a villain who weaponizes nature's beauty.
Arums isn't in my well-thumbed copy of Bulfinch's, but that doesn't mean it's not inspired by real myths. Names often get recycled with new twists—like how 'Kratos' went from a minor Greek personification of strength to a video icon. Maybe Arums nods to 'Arawn', the Welsh underworld king, with a darker vibe. I recall a tabletop RPG where Arums was a necromancer king, which feels like a blend of Hades and original lore. If it is wholly invented, props to the creator for something that sounds mythic without leaning on clichés!
As a folklore nerd, I get this question a lot about lesser-known names! Arums doesn't match any major mythological figures I've studied—no hits in Bullfinch's Mythology or The Prose Edda. But! There's a sneaky possibility it's a distorted version of 'Aramis' (from The Three Musketeers, which borrowed from real French nobility) or even 'Arumuga' (a Tamil god of war). Pop culture loves tweaking names; think how 'Sauron' sounds vaguely Babylonian but was Tolkien's invention.
I once found a Korean manhwa where 'Arums' was a fallen angel hybrid, mixing Christian demonology with Korean goblin lore. That's the beauty of modern storytelling: they remix syllables until they feel ancient. If you told me tomorrow that Arums was some lost Celtic deity rediscovered in a manuscript, I'd totally believe it—the internet mythos machine spins gold from thin air these days!

I was Apollo’s most devoted follower, the lover he handpicked from a sea of worshippers.
With me, he’d always shed his divine arrogance. He was so tender, so attentive. I actually thought he loved me to the bone.
Until seven days before our Consort Ceremony, when I used my gift of prophecy to peek into our future together.
I expected to see a lifetime of blinding love. Instead, I saw him violently tangled in the sheets with my adopted sister, Cassandra.
Wrapped around him, Cassandra giggled. "You're so good to me, my Lord. Thanks to you, I'll finally get my sister's Sight and take her place as High Priestess."
And Apollo—my god, my lover—smiled down at her with pure adoration. "Whatever makes you happy, little bird. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have played pretend for this long, let alone allow her to become a god's consort."
In that split second, my heart turned to ash. My faith shattered into a million pieces.
With seven days left until the ceremony, I didn't confront them. Instead, I fell to my knees before the altar of Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
"I offer you my gift of prophecy. I will be your most loyal follower in exchange for your sanctuary."
"Please. Take me away from here. Take me somewhere Apollo can never find me."
