It seemed that peace had finally come to Gaia and her Titans after the death of her husband, Uranus. With the newfound peace, and an abundant amount of time on her hands, Gaia found herself feeling the need to create something after so long. Of course, she had to do this in secret as her youngest was beginning to get into her business more and more. She took pride in this creation, molding the earth like clay into a figure. Gaia slowly shaped her new creation with the hands of a gently mother, caring about her work. She worked from the feet and built up from there, giving the creation powerful legs.
She then took a mountain, molding it into the shape of a body. It was thinner near the top and wider at the bottom, but would be held up by the legs completely. The Earth Primordial then formed arms, a tail and a head, putting them onto the body before adding her final details. Spines in the shape of maple leaves and formed them all along the back of the masterpiece. She beamed and finally finished by breathing life into the creation.
It shook before the body turned a dark green color, shaping itself to look more animal as it slowly took its first breath and opened its eyes for the first time, deep blue with a hint of gold around the pupil. The creature looked up at its creator before letting out a low grumbling hiss, Gaia hugged her newest creation and whispered to it.
"You are my little creation, my avatar, my Terra Deum Perniciosius."
The Titans were all gathered at their mother's beckoning, wondering why they had been summoned. Gaia had been very quiet on the reason they had been summoned really, Kronos was looking at his siblings.
The King of the Titans shifted uncomfortably, before at last turning to address Gaia.
"Mother, why are we here?"
Gaia, for her answer, didn't say a word. She simply moved aside and let something else come forward, something that wasn't like Kronos or his siblings in anyway, shape or form. It was clearly animal based and it looked like it was made out of the vegetation and earth itself. The eyes, however, looked way too intelligent to really be inside the head of a monster. It watched them all with those blue eyes, studying each Titan with a gaze that was cold and unmoving.
"What is that thing?" Hyperion asked Oceanus quietly, making the beast look at them both, its mouth opened slightly and clearly annoyed at them both.
"This," Gaia said softly, lips thinning at her hot headed sons' comment, "Is your new sibling. His name is Terra Deum Perniciosius and you'll look after him as I will be going to sleep very soon."
Phoebe frowned, looking at her newest 'sibling' with distaste, "So, Mother. Are we to look after our newest brother while you are gone?" The Titaness of the Moon accentuated the word, as if it dripped with venom.
Rhea glowered at Phoebe before stepping forward, "Since my siblings are being stubborn, I'll look after our brother myself, Mother."
The beast turned its gaze onto Rhea and everyone noticed the eyes soften, looking calmer than before. It lumbered over to the earth titaness who quietly smiled at the creature and put a head on its' head. It made a rumbling sound, like a small earthquake, which the Titans realized was purring.
Kronos frowned, stroking his goatee before saying, "Why the long name?"
Coeus looked at his younger King sibling, "Terra Deum Perniciosius means Destructive Earth Deity."
Kronos muttered, "That isn't ominous in any way…"
Iapetus grunted before turning to go, "Think we are finished here."
Tethys looked up, having not looked at her newest sibling since he appeared, "Maybe a nickname to help us?"
"What kind of nickname would fit something like that?" Hyperion questioned, his lips smirking with heated mirth that wasn't truly kind.
Crius spoke up, "Our new sibling looks like a combination between a gorilla and a whale. How about we call him Gojira?"
That got all the men laughing at the name, several of the women joined in as their new sibling looked at the laughing Titans. He growled darkly, making the offending Titans stumble slightly as the ground shook with the monster's anger. "gojira" stopped growling, his gaze set on the clearly disturbed Titans before turning away from them.
Rhea huffed at her siblings before placing a hand on Gojira's shoulder, "Lets go, these kids need to calm down."
Gojira just huffed and followed after Rhea as they left the quieted Titans, Kronos watching them as his frown deepened further.
Rhea walked calmly with her newest sibling, who was lumbering along at her side, leaving heavy footprints in the sand. The Titaness sighed, her siblings were really not the best after defeating their Father. Even Phoebe wasn't the best, and she was the nicest of the women! Gojira rumbled next to her, looking at her with his blue eyes, looking concerned.
"I'm fine, Goji, just frustrated at my siblings right now." She answered, petting her new brothers head, making him purr.
She smiled and continued to her house by the seashore, a simple home that showed her natural love for the outdoors. Goji looked at the house and tilted his head, curious as he got closer to inspect it. Rhea watched him and smiled, just enjoying the fact that her new brother was like a little child in the new world he had been created into.
She walked over to her younger sibling and patted his head before opening the door, letting Goji inside. He stepped inside and she was about to close the door when she saw Phoebe running up. She looked at her sister, who was out of breath and had her hands on her knees.
"Hello Phoebe, I'm surprised to see you here." Rhea said calmly, hoping that she wasn't here to insult their brother again.
Phoebe gasped before getting out, "Sorry, sister...I came...to apologize…"
Goji looked at Phoebe and growled, but Rhea put a hand up, which calmed him down.
"Then you can say it to Goji, not me." Rhea said, stepping aside so Phoebe could look at their sibling.
Phoebe sighed, "Look, I'm sorry for really being mean back there, little bro. Could we by any chance start over?"
Goji looked over Phoebe, studying her before he nodded. Rhea smiled and helped Phoebe up before letting her inside. Before she closed the door, Rhea looked up at her brother's new palace he was having built by their older siblings on top of Mount Orthys, the Elder Cyclops and Hekatonkheire. The sounds of the dark marble being moved and molded was loud enough to be heard from the beach. Rhea sighed and closed the door on the noise, not wanting to hear it at all.
The next several months were simply spent teaching and helping Gojira learn about the world around him, something he had to learn as he was slow on the uptake. Talking was extremely difficult for him to grasp, as his mouth and body had been created without the proper parts needed to speak. That was until Phoebe suggested telepathy or at least some form of it, Rhea had originally said no to the idea then after may failed attempts to help Goji speak, she relented.
He seemed to have a good grasp on talking with his mind, much to the Titanesses excitement. Though, it seemed like a good idea at the time, Rhea was starting to worry about bringing Gojira to the Sunday dinner that Kronos had invited his family too. Sure, all of her siblings were married now to one another, some of them were even pregnant. But, as of now, Goji wasn't one to really leave the beach or her home. However, since he wanted to go, Rhea had let him come with her.
As the two approached the dark marble palace, Rhea felt the power radiating from the outer walls. Shivering, Rhea opened the large ornately carved oak wood doors and smiled as her family was gathered at the table. Goji walked in beside her, looking at all the gathered Titans, his usual calm demeanor was hiding his nervousness that Rhea could tell he was holding back. This was, after all, the first time he had been around the entire family since that day he was introduced to them all.
"Rhea," The new Lord of the East boomed, his body glowing like the sun that rose every day, "Come! Our younger brother has prepared such a feast for the family!"
Rhea only smiled and took her seat, Goji following and stood by her side, as there was no place for him to sit. The other Titans talked joyously amongst themselves, not even noticing Gojira in the slightest until Crius spoke up.
"Sister, why is Gojira here?"
Rhea looked at him, as the conversation quieted down immensely at that question.
"He is family, if you remember, Crius." Rhea said coolly, giving her brother a look, "Not you had anything to do with him after I took Gojira into my home."
Coeus coughed into his hand, "Sister, while Gojira is our "brother", he is also not a Titan. I don't mean any disrespect, but as he is, Gojira will not be seen in full kinship to the rest of the family."
"You should still treat him as a sibling." Rhea muttered, though everyone heard her.
"I think you are correct," Kronos said, walking up to his place at the table and sitting down, his scythe in its little notch at the side of his seat, "Gojira is our brother, though he may be different, Mother created him out of her very form. He is our sibling, despite not being born a Titan."
Goji looked over at Kronos and spoke for the first time since he had arrived, "Thank you...Kronos"
Everyone looked at Gojira in surprise, having heard his deep voice but didn't see his mouth mouth in the slightest.
"You're welcome, brother, now then," Kronos clapped his hands together and the massive banquet was brought out, "Let us enjoy ourselves!"
Rhea smiled, as she dug into her meal, she started to gain hope that her siblings would start accepting Gojira more. Kronos was showing he was willing to overlook the biggest flaw in their younger brother after all.
