Chapter 1:
Death of the World
The gods Poseidon and Ares stood watching the human world. Athena walked in and sat on the bench near her uncle and brother. They watched as the humans walked around earth peacefully. They all had worried expressions. They knew what real danger lurked on earth. The mighty Titan Hyperion. He was the only Titan that escaped the gods when they locked the Titans away in Mount Tartarus.
"Has he been spotted yet?" Athena asked in her sweet silky voice. Ares sat down on the floor that was near the edge of Mont Olympus. Poseidon shook his head and spoke, "No. Hyperion has made no appearences. He is keeping quiet." The Olympians were worried because they all knew what Hyperion's plan was. He was plannig on going to Nyx's cave and freeing Kronos from his dark prision.
The twins Apollo and Artemis walked into the garden where the three other gods were. "We can't just stay up here on this mountain. We need to find Hyperion and kill him before he reaches Kronos." Ares spoke angerly. He was always full of bloodlust, ready to kill any mortal or immortal that crossed his path.
"We can't act so rash. We must have a plan to stop Hyperion." Poseiidon said. "Poseidon is right. We can not act rash." Apollo said.
"I can not believe these words leave my lips but I agree with Ares. I say we stop Hyperion now." The words that Artemis spoke shocked all the gods. The goddess was always level headed. Athena spoke next, "I agree with Ares and Artemis as well. We are in danger. If he reaches Kronos then the will release the rest of the Titans."
They all headed to the chamber where the Olympians held their meetings. Zeus and Hera were already at their thrones. Athena and Ares took their seats on the right of Zeus and Hera, while Poseidon, Artemis and Apollo on the left. The rest of the Olympians walked into the chamber taking their seats. Aphrodite and her husband Hephaestus sat next to Apollo. Demeter, Dionysus and Hermes sat next to Ares.
"So what is this meeting that has been called for?" Aphrodite's sweet sensual voice carried through the chamber. "Yes what is this meeting for?" The elder goddess Hera asked. Ares spoke, "We need to deal with Hyperion and we need to deal with him now." Zeus looked at his son, the war god.
"Father, Ares speaks the truth. Hyperion plans every waking moment. We must stop the Titan while we still can." Athena spoke hoping her father would listen to them.
"Athena go to Nyx's cave and warn Nyx and Erebus of the danger." Zeus said. Athena nodded and left the chamber heading towards Nyx's cave. "Ares, Artemis go to Hades and get the weapon we require." They nodded and went to the dreaded home of Hades, the Underworld. "The rest of you go and look out for Hyperion. We can not let him release Kronos and the Titans." The other gods dispersed following Zeus' orders.
Athena arrived to the cave. She preceded to the beautiful dark temple that resided in the dark cave. The giant gates opened and the beautiful goddess of the night Nyx came out. "Hello daugther of Zeus. What brings you to my temple?" She said. The goddess infront of Athena was beautiful. She had long black hair that you could not tell where it stopped because it seemed to be apart of the shadows.
"I came here to warn you of the dangers that will soon come to you."
"What danger do come to warn daugther of Zeus." A deep bass voice spoke from the shadows. A almost naked Erebus emerged from the shadows and stood next to his beautiful wife. His hair melted into the shadows just like Nyx's hair.
"Hyperion will be coming soon to release Kronos." Athena continued her warning. The two Primordial gods looked worried that a Titan would dare enter their place. "He will not get Kronos while are childern and us are around." Erebus said.
"I just came to warn you. Hyperion is cunning for a Titan, don't underestimate him." Athena said before returning to Mount Olympus. The two gods continued their activity of pleasure before Athena had interrupted them.
Artemis and Ares entered the gates that lead to the Underworld. "I loath this place. This place reeks of death." Artemis said disgusted with this place. They stopped at the sound of a thunderous roar. It was Cerberus. The three headed hell dog that was ruled by Zeus' older brother Hades.
"Now Cerberus is that anyway to treat family." Hades raspy voice rang through the walls of the cave. Cerbreus stopped in place, while the gods lowered their weapons. "What pleasure do I own to this visit?" He asked.
"We are here for the bow." Ares spat. Hades looked angery as his eyes turned from a bright blue to a bright red. "You will watch your tone Ares. I'm your uncle and you will treat me with respect or I'll have Cerbreus eat you alive." Hades roared at his brother's angery bloodlust filled son.
"The bow that you seek is not here. The bow has been gone for years. Zeus was the last to take the bow." Artemis and Ares looked at each other not knowing what to say next to the god of the dead.
Hyperion held the Epirus Bow in his hands. The Titan had tricked his nefew and his stupid demon dog. He had taken it years ago. Now he was ready to release Kronos and his other siblings from Mount Tartarus. He was ready to wage war against the Olympians.
"Soon Zeus and Mount Olympus will crumble at our hands brother." He whispered as he stood infront of Nyx's cave. He had waited untill Zeus' favorite daughter had left. Now the real war will begin.
