Prologue
Back in Ancient Greece, trouble was brewing for the humans. Meanwhile on Mount Olympus, the Gods were getting ready for their own battle with the Titan God Cronus.
"Gods and Goddesses, tonight the Titan God Cronus will attack." The King of the Gods, Zeus, shouted among the Gods and Goddesses in the armory. Even the beautiful Aphrodite was dressed for battle.
The wise Athena was the one to voice the question everyone else was afraid to. "Father, how are we supposed to win this war?" There were murmurs of agreement heard in the crowd of Gods.
"Yes, King Zeus. I sincerely doubt that we will come out alive after this." Goddess Nyx calmly stated. "I mean, not all of us are fit for war.", she spared a glance at Aphrodite.
Zeus regarded the Goddess of night carefully before speaking, "To be honest, not all of us will survive the Titan God. Maybe none of us will." This said he looked to Hecate, the Goddess of magic, witchcraft and the crossroads.
Seeing her king look at her she nodded and continued for him, "In case we do not survive Cronus, I have taken precautions for our very existence." She paused as she heard gasps. As they died down, she continued, "If any of us die, there is a spell that I have cast to allow us to be reincarnated when the time comes."
Hades moved to the front abruptly, "If we die, there is no way to come back. We are Gods, therefore, if we die, we cease to exist."
"Either way, I have done it." Hecate said coolly.
Any other conversation was cut off by screams outside. The Gods immediately prepared themselves for battle. They grabbed shields, swords and their armor.
Ares, God of War, headed the group of Gods at the front. They all froze when they heard the booming voice of Cronus.
"My children, surrender and your death shall be quickly. Continue to fight my army, and you shall suffer greatly."
Zeus stepped forward, "We will not surrender. Mount Olympus belongs to the Olympian Gods and Goddesses. You are neither, therefore, you are not welcome here. Leave now!"
Cronus laughed, "You pompous little bastard. You just sealed your fates," with that the Gods were attacked my hundreds of minions of Cronus.
The Gods fought them with everything they had. Ares, with his swords, Aphrodite with a dagger and her charms, and Nyx with her hellhounds. Zeus thought it better to go after Cronus, himself, seeing as he already killed him one time.
Thunderbolt after thunderbolt, Zeus was finally tiring, while Cronus just watched. He watched his son falter in his attacks due to fatigue.
Zeus was going to attack Cronus more when screams sounded over the battle. He looked behind him and almost fell to his knees at the sight in front of him.
Hera, Aphrodite, his brother, Poseidon, Aphrodite's son, Eros, Hephaestus and Nyx all lay dead. As they lay there, they bodies seemed to shimmer before disappearing completely.
"Why are doing this Cronus?" Zeus asked, anguish clearly shown on his face.
Cronus laughed, "Because I want to." He then used one of Zeus' thunderbolts against him, when he was too buried in sorrow to notice.
Zeus, in turn stabbed Cronus with another thunderbolt as he took his last breaths. Cronus watched as more Gods fell to the hands of his minions. He looked back to Zeus, who laughed and spoke with is last breath.
"This is not over, Father."
