Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed. If I did, I would be publishing this and making money from it! This is purely a plot idea in my head and I do not intend to make any money from it.

AN: Okay. So now that I've made the lawyers happy…On with the story!! This is my first Charmed fan fiction and depending on the reaction to it may not be my last. This little plot bunny has been kicking around in my head for years and now my muse (Lexi) has decided to actually write it down. Please read and review! Lexi really lives for getting reviews. (For all of those who read my CSI: NY fan fiction, do not be alarmed. I am hard at work writing for those stories!)

Chapter 1.

Prologue

She was standing in a room. The older woman sighed. I'm so tired. I'm so ready for this life to be over. She sighed as she walked over to a large circle inscribed on the floor and began to pace around it, knowing that this step was necessary. Calmly, she flipped her waist length auburn hair over her shoulders, the silver streaks in it becoming more evident. She decided that she had waited long enough. She gathered her strength and walked into the circle.

She took a deep breath. "I call upon the powers of the Earth. Land, Wind, Water, Fire and Metal. Bring forth Father Time!"

Winds surrounded her. The power contained in them left her breathless. Then in a shimmer, a tall, dark haired man appeared. "You called me Earth-Mother?"

The woman looked at the man. "You are certainly being formal, Kronos." She smiled.

Kronos turned and looked at her. "You started it, Gaia. You called me Father Time."

Gaia nodded and laughed. Her laughter was musical. "So I did. Yes, I did call you. It is time for the rebirth of the earth. It is time for me procreate and bear daughters to take over my reign."

Kronos turned nodded. "I forsaw this. You must leave the safety of the heaven and wish for me to make sure that you have something to come home to."

She smiled. "Kronos. This is the tradition. I ask you to watch over the land, while I am in the mortal realm. No more. No less. I will be gone less than a week."

Kronos sighed. He knew the rules. "Of course, Gaia. I will watch over it for you."

With his nod of agreement, she broke her circle of power and walked towards him. "Blessed me, my friend. You know that I have done the same for you." With that, she turned and walked out of the room.

AN: Okay, y'all. This does it for the first chapter! I'd love to hear what you think!!!
