In the begenning, there was only Chaos, who was endlessly wandering through eternal nothingness. They were everything that existed, which was nothing, except themselves. How does that work? No one knows. One day, Chaos began to feel other things, how? They didn't know, but they were a curious being, and begin to search for it. They never found anything. So, they decided to try something, and expanded their senses.

They found it

But, oddly enough, it was inside them. Scientists weren't that far off when they speculated a Big Bang created everything, as Chaos had powers, and one day made something go boom. They began to explore what was there, and found massive things that they called 'stars' and 'planets'

So they began trying to create something else, and two things like them were created. Nyx and Erebus. Night and Darkness. The two were the best of friends, and soon realized that they loved each other, and began to populate with beings of their own, such as Thanatos. Their first child.

Death.

Chaos was also busy, creating more and more beings, like Chronos and Anake. Time and Destiny.

Once more, friends became lovers, and the two began to populate, the first of their children being tripplets called Clotho, Atropos, and Lachesis.

The Fates.

Chaos decided to create two more beings. Ouranos and Gaia. Earth and Sky. And once more, friends became lovers. And they began to populate Gaia's domain, with beings called the Titans and the Hekatonkheires and so forth. One day, though, one of their children became insane, and gained a lust for power. Why or how?

Once again, no one knows.

When his father was visiting his children, he attacked with his Scythe. He, with the help from some of his brothers and sisters, who were either holding off their other siblings or holding down their father, he slayed him. But, not before Ouranos cursed his son, to be defeated in the same way that he was.

Betrayed by his child who had gained a lust for power

And it happened. Centuries upon centuries later, however, and the Titan Lord had forgotten all about his fathers warning.

And what a mistake it was

Gaia had become sad over her lovers death, so Chaos created her another. Tartarus. The Abyss. When Ouranos reformed later, he had knowledge of what had happened, and had accepted it, which made the Earth happy. She was able to keep both of her loves.

Nyx and Erebus had been even busier, creating more and more, and ended up creating Aether, the Lord of the Heavens, and Hemera, the Lady of Day.

Meanwhile, in Gaia's domain, the Gods were fair and just rulers, at first that is, eventually becoming arrogant, for the most part, and caused Thanatos a lot of work.

He didn't like it

He became distant from all but his closest of family members, such as his parents, Nemesis, Moros, et cetera

He started to become reclusive.

All till one day, he was sent to reap another soul, yet again, and this time he felt a sort of connection to them. He simply thought it was the Fates messing with his life once more, but he found that he just couldn't do it. He couldn't kill them. He, instead, gave them advice on how to survive, and they took it. They had knowledge of the Greek pantheon, being a descendant of the Lord of the Seas, and they kept praying to him, asking him to visit

And he did.

The two eventually found themselves in love, and he asked her to be his immortal bride

And she accepted

But, it didn't immediently work, which confused them. They asked Thanatos' father, and found out that, most of the time, when someone is gifted immortality, it takes a while for it to come into affect. Most of the time after their death. They were saddened, mostly for their unborn child, as they would be forced to live the life of a demigod instead of a god.

Nine months later, a beautiful baby boy was born. They named him Perseus, in hope of him inheriting his namesake's luck.

He was raised in the underworld for most of his life, having immediently won the heart of the Lord of the Underworld and his bride, both of them having blessed the child when able.

And he trained once he was able as well, and they found him to be a natural with the Sword and Scythe, the latter probably because of his father. And they found him to be worse than thought possible with the bow. He trained with the greatest heroes of legend, and, for the shortest of times, Orion. The son of the Sea found himself in Punishment quickly after Perseus was told his story

But, enough about what happened in the Creation of the Realm and about his past, you're here to listen to the story of the Son of Death, are you not?

Well, here it is.
