Okay so this is the first time I'm writing a fanfic of Greek Mythology. So please bare with me.
Chapter 1
It was a long day in the Underworld. Hades was just sitting on his throne doing nothing except looking at the pits of Tartarus.
Then a white long haired man who wore all black walked in and said, "Lord Hades, you haven't started judging the souls of the dead. I think you better start right now if you don't want to do all of it tomorrow, my lord"
"Thank you Thanatos" Hades said without even looking at the god, "I'll do it all tomorrow"
"But sir, I think you should start…" Thanatos said but…
"I said I'll do it tomorrow! Do I make myself clear, Thanatos?" Hades yelled as he looked at the god with his Death Glare
"O-Of course, my lord" Thanatos said and left. He then bumped into 2 primordial gods, namely Erebus, the primordial god of Darkness, and Nyx, the primordial goddess of night
"Thanatos, what's the matter?" Nyx asked her son
"Is something wrong with Lord Hades?" Thanatos asked, "He's been staring at Tartarus ever since he got back from Mt. Olympus"
"I don't know" Erebus said, "He didn't even looked at us when we passed by each other"
"Actually, I heard from Hermes that he's been quiet ever since Zeus brought up Cronus during the meeting" Nyx said, "He was trying to keep them calm because they were talking something about this man feeding them food, which the food is actually the man's son"
"That is disgusting!" Erebus said
"I've seen worse" Thanatos said
"Then Zeus just suddenly brought up Cronus because…you know… Cronus eating his children like that" Nyx said
"I think Lord Hades is still not comfortable after that incident" Thanatos said, "He's been inside of him for a lot of years as I recall"
"Yeah…poor child" Erebus said, "But he did want that. He wanted to make his father happy"
"What?" Thanatos asked
Because of what Erebus said, Nyx slapped him on the face that was so hard that when Erebus yelled, this caused a huge earthquake. At least nobody died…
"Father, what do you mean Lord Hades wanted to make his father happy?" Thanatos asked, "How will he make his father happy? Didn't he get eaten when he was a baby?"
"This is your fault, Erebus!" Nyx yelled at Erebus
"Why is it my fault?" Erebus asked
"Didn't I tell you that we're never allowed to talk about that!" Nyx said
"Mother, Father, what are you not telling me?" Thanatos asked
"My son, we don't actually have the right to tell this story" Nyx explained
"Yeah, besides, I think you should tell that to Lord Hades" Erebus added
"Go" a familiar scary voice said behind them
When they looked behind, they saw the God of the Underworld himself out of his throne with a scary face.
"Hades! I'm sorry! My husband accidentally said that! Please forgive him" Nyx pleaded to him
"It's okay, mom" Hades said, "I'm actually okay if you tell the story. It brings me good memories of Father…"
"Are you sure, Hades?" Erebus asked
"Of course"
"Well, it all started hundreds or thousands of years ago…" Nyx started
FLASHBACK
"Cronus!" a woman with golden long hair that was until her back called. It was Rhea, the Titaness of Motherhood, as well as the Titan Queen of Mount Orthys. She was running or speed walking towards her husband
"Is something wrong, Rhea?" a man with black neck-length long hair said. It was Cronus, the King of the Titans. He was walking around Mount Orthys with his second-in-command, Atlas. He looked at Atlas and said, "Atlas, please leave for a moment. I'm going to speak with my wife"
"Of course, Lord Cronus" Atlas replied
When Atlas left, Rhea hugged Cronus and held his hands to her hands. She then said, "Cronus! I'm so excited for our first child!"
"I know, Rhea" Cronus said, "But you better be careful. Remember, our child is in there with you" As he said this he patted on his wife's stomach
"I know, my love!" Rhea smiled at him, "It's just…I'm really happy!"
"I know you are, Rhea" Cronus said, "But I'm also concerned about our child's life" He hugged Rhea and kissed her. He then noticed Rhea hugging her stomach. He then worriedly asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Water…I need water" Rhea said still feeling the pain in her stomach
"Just wait there, okay!" Cronus said. He immediately ran and got his wife a glass of ambrosia. When he finally returned, he saw Rhea standing up with water flowing from her legs.
"Cronus! T-The baby! The baby's coming out!" Rhea told him
Cronus dropped the glass and quickly assisted his wife in going to their chamber. When they reached the chamber, he settled down Rhea on the bed and said, "It's going to be fine, Rhea"
Rhea then told him to stay outside. Of course, Cronus obeyed and left the room. He just stood outside of their room and waited patiently for the birth of their first child, which he hoped that their first child will be a son. He heard his wife moaning and breathing heavily. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or excited because it's their first child or he should be scared because of Rhea. He then heard silence for a few seconds. He was thinking that neither Rhea nor their child made it, but he suddenly heard a baby's cry. It was the birth of a prince.
Cronus then entered the chamber and saw his wife carrying the new born baby boy.
"Look Cronus, come and see our child" Rhea smiled
Cronus then walked and sat beside his wife. He touched his child's hand and surprisingly, the child held the finger of Cronus. He then looked at his wife and asked, "What's his name?"
"I was going to ask the same thing" Rhea said, "He looks a lot like you, Cronus"
"Then how about…" Cronus said, "Hades. Hades Aidoneus."
"What a perfect name for our first child!" Rhea said as she hugged Hades even more
"Yes…yes it is" Cronus then hugged both his wife and child.
