Chapter 1- The Fall Of Cronus
"One day you... Will be overthrown... By your sons... " Uranus said in between heavy labored breaths to his son Cronus. "As you have done... To me..." He finished as he held his side where Cronus had slit him open with his scythe, glowing golden blood pouring out of his side, spilling over his fingers, and onto the wet, sand covered ground. Cronus only laughed viciously, the laugh was a horrible cold and low sound that shook the planets, as he brought down the sickle on the advice of his Mother and castrated his Father. He approached his Mothers body and let the blood fall.
And from the blood rose the avenging Furies, the Giants, and the Meliai. As the severed genitals floated on the sea, they began to produce a white foam, from which Aphrodite; the goddess of love and beauty, sprang forth.
"Its not clear as to weather or not Uranus is dead, it's possible that he fled from the earth or that he has exiled himself to Italy. Sir." One of the forest nymphs informed him.
"Then search Italy." Cronus growled. "And don't come back unless you are completely sure." He finished.
Cronus' P. O. V
"Father I can't let you lock them up. They have done nothing wrong. We have done nothing wrong. Father I -"
I shot up in my bed, my hand instantly running through my long dark hair moving it out of my face.
I started to head to the washroom where I could have the servants draw my bathwater for me. "You there, cupboard boy draw up my bathwater. Now." I snarled.
"Yes my lord." He said and hurried away. The dawn was starting to break through now. The pathetic excuse for love forces will be waking up soon. Which means that they are going to be bugging me today.
I stepped into the tub where the slave had drawn the bath water. Later I will tell Rhea to deal with them.
God those pathetic little ants. The only reason they're around is because they are our life source.
I got out of the tub and dried off by creating a huge gust of warm wind, and put on my toga. One of my servants chose that exact moment to enter. He looked new. "My Lord, your wine..." He said while kneeling down on one knee.
I took the wine and dismissed him. I let it sit for a few minutes. During those few minuets the rats had begun waking up and started complaining again. "Rhea." I yelled. "Rhea make them shut up."
"Yes Cronus." She replied. "And hurry up with it."
I took a sip out of my wine. I decided to go ahead and drink the rest of it because it'll calm me down, at least that's what I Thought.
Instead of that warm feeling it usually leaves behind I wanted to puke. I instantly started running towards the opening in my home. I ran outside and fell to my knees, the vomit I was trying to hold in spraying out of my mouth.
It felt as though something was trying to rip me apart from inside out. Thirty seconds later I throw up fully grown being. But I'm not done yet it starts all over again. When I'm finally finished I have three fully grown females and two fully grown males standing in front of me.
No! How could this be? Wait there's one missing. Where is the other one? Where is zeus? I scream inside my mind.
"How did you get out of me, out of my body? I don't understand. This is impossible.
"You will pay for what you have done to us, to what you have done to yourself. You claim to be different from Uranus, but really your the same. And you shall perish at the hands of us, your children, whom you have decided to swallow in order to keep your kingdom. In turn that makes you worse than our grandfather." A voice says from behind me.
I turn to see the young servant from earlier wielding a sword and a shield. The thunder grew louder but there had been no rain yet.
It was almost as though my father Uranus was still alive laughing at me from wherever he was.
"I only ask of you my dear brothers Poseidon, and Hades, along with my three beautiful sisters, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter, to please help me bring justice to our cause. Help me get rid of our father once and for all!" He cried.
I let out a strangled war cry as I charged forward towards him.
"You will NOT overthrow me like I did your grandfather. He didn't stand a chance and neither will you."
"The difference between me and him is I'm not a complete jerk, and I'm not sloppy."
He said as he stabbed my side. I could feel the warm golden liquid flowing down my side, it wasn't deep so I continued fighting I grabbed my scythe from where it was leaning by the huge white pillar and brought it down against his arm.
Most of the Titans decided to side with me in the war Zeus had caused, while my children sided with him.
Uranus was right. They are going to overthrow me but I'm not going down without a fight.
*Ten Years Later at the cavity beneath Tartarus*
"I hear by banish and lock up all of the Titans In the cavity. Here they will stay forever. Until the end of time."
Zeus announced as he rose from the seat that they had built on the edge of the cliff.
"My Father Cronus, I ask you will you take death or will you be locked into the cavity?"
I spit blood that had been slowly building up in my mouth onto his foot. "Why even bother. Go ahead and show me no mercy. You've been waiting to kil me. So do it."
He laughed."You foolish old man, you think I will turn out like you, you think I'm going to kill you. No instead you are to spend the rest of your days as a prisoner of the Underworld Tartarus." He said. And with that I was locked into a pit of my own.
