Queen of Titans
"Astra sat on her throne, looking down upon her titan subjects.
"Hyperion." She said coldly. Hyperion flinched as she said his name. "This," Astra pointed to the sphere on her right, which showed the prisoners shackled to the wall. "Is what you call torture?" She stepped down from her throne. She smiled at Hyperion. She put one of her fingers on his nose. She grew claws and stabbed him on the nose. Ichor exploded as she popped a vein.
The titans behind Hyperion flinched at the sight of golden liquid splattered on their Queen's crown.
"You got blood on me. How disappointing." Astra took off her crown and handed it to the nearest titan. "You're fired. Go find a job elsewhere. I can't trust weaklings like you who are thirsty for power you can't reach. Kronos. Torture the demigods. We need to find the gods' new hiding spot." She pointed at Kronos.
Under normal circumstances, Kronos would've done the torture himself, but he was overthrown by his daughter.
No one expected the rise of the most powerful titan to ever live.
It was Astra, titan of shadows, creation, and power." Chiron said around the campfire. "This is a true story, but unwritten. The gods thought it was time for you all to know the truth about the Queen of Titans."
The moment Astra was born, Kronos knew she was trouble. She was so powerful that Kronos almost collapsed when Rhea entered the throne room with their first child.
Astra was a cute little one, with brown hair and shining black eyes. Kronos was not corrupted yet, as he was just married.
He took his daughter and bopped her on the nose.
"My husband, I fear she is too powerful." Rhea said out of nowhere, breaking his trance and turning his attention back to her.
"I agree too, but she is our first child. She is harmless." Kronos said without a doubt. But he would be proven wrong for the first time Astra was born.
Rhea nodded and asked for the baby. Kronos gave it to her and she left. After Rhea was gone, Kronos day on his throne devising was to kill the child.
But attempt after attempt, he failed. Rhea was constantly watching over her child. Then, Rhea got pregnant again and gave birth.
A/N: Blah blah blah blah Greek gods book you know it I'm too lazy to write all that
Astra peeked around the corner to see Kronos eating up her latest sibling. She was surprised that she wasn't gobbled up like her siblings, but she didn't complain.
Astra lived a quiet, maybe the most quiet, life in the palace. She was alone, as her siblings were swallowed by Kronos. Her anger grew by the day, causing her to have mood swings.
Then, one day, Astra snapped. She walked into her obese father's throne room uninvited.
"Talk. Now."
Kronos just shrugged. He guessed it was teenage mood swings. He thought it was only her being mad over her diary being read or something. But, he was wrong.
As soon as they went to a private room, a long spear materialized in Astra's hand. She lunged, aiming for the throat. She then feinted to the left and stabbed Kronos in the chest, right through his heart. Kronos's eyes became soulless as his soul departed out on the journey back to earth. The little gods in his stomach came out later, when Astra left.
Astra then busted the doors open to the room where Kronos kept his best soldiers. Spear in hand, she knocked them all down at once.
"You will bow down to me. I am Astra, titan of shadows, creation, and power. I have defeated and killed Kronos."
— Back to Chiron
"All the myths about the titan war are actually partial and untruths. Instead of battling Kronos, the gods battled Astra." Chiron threw rocks into the blazing campfire.
— Back to Astra, Twenty Years After Domination
Instead of waiting for the gods to attack her first, she slipped into the gods' base and tried to slaughter them.
But, it was only the minor gods created out of the six original gods. The minor gods were still slaughtered, but that didn't mean that they didn't slaughter Astra's group too.
Beneath her cold skin lays a hard heart. Even though her heart was hard, her heart still melted when some of her troops fell in combat.
After the last minor god was dead, Astra used her creation power and conjured up the gryphon we all know today. She helped her soldiers onto the gryphons' backs and jumped onto one herself.
When they arrived at the now renovated home of the Titans, they were welcomed as heroes.
Astra walked first, proudly showing her subjects the golden stained clothes, as she had no armor, only leather and fabric.
Day after day, Astra and her personal killers stormed each hideout after another.
Before long, they reached Mt. Olympus. They waged war for years, doing everything in their power to kill the gods.
Suddenly, while Astra was about to kill Alana, Zeus came out of nowhere and stabbed her in the back with a small dagger. The dagger burst into shards of light that pierced the monarch's skin.
The intense fire in Astra's eyes died down to an unemotional glaze. The battle stopped so suddenly as all the Titans and gods stared at Zeus and Astra.
Astra came out of the time trance made by Kronos as a last attempt to save his daughter's life. Kronos can change after all.
She collapsed onto the marble floor. The light deeper into her and wisps of shadow came floating out.
"I guess this is the end, little brother." Astra smiled at her brother, ignoring Alana on the right. She knew immediately from the power level of the dagger that it would end her forever.
She breathed her last breath holding onto Zeus's hand. "Kill Kronos for me."
Thanks to @spaceSMILE198861 for the character Alana! This is my first completed story and I came up with the idea randomly. Tell me your opinion!
