Yeah. My very first fanfiction wasn't really how I wanted it played. Time to make up for it.
I REALLY do WISH something like this would happen in future movie adaptions or in future novels.
Be honest with your comments dear readers.
"This is not funny!"
Young Kronos' complaints fell on deaf ears. As always.
This time, Krios had the poor child in a headlock while the other Titan children, his brothers, cheered his older brother on.
Kronos tried landing a hit on Krios, but the older Titan just pushed him back to the ground.
Life as the youngest Titan is so unfair.
"Krios."
Yes.
And no.
Krios looked up only to find the scowling green eyes of his sister, Rhea.
"Come on, Rhea." He grinned, "We're just playing around."
Rhea painfully pulled his ear, forcing her brother to let go of their youngest brother.
Kronos rubbed his shoulder as he let his sister lead him away in order to get him healed.
He hated being the youngest of twelve siblings. He could never win anything against his brothers.
Kronos moped and stared at his reflection on the lake while his sister dipped a piece of fabric in the water. Just as she was about to clean her brother's bruises, he slightly jerked away as if he didn't want to be healed.
"Don't worry. They're not watching." Rhea assured, snapping her fingers to command her lions to chase away her snooping brothers.
Kronos wondered how his sweet sister came to love those ferocious cats. Was it even safe for a child to have lions as pets?
Well, Mother Gaia allowed her...
It doesn't bother him that his sister would come to his aide whenever their older brothers takes their games too far.
He just wished she knew how strong he was.
He finally lets her clean his bruises, but she failed to heal his humiliation.
Rhea noticed that on his face and assured once more, "At least father didn't witness that."
The young Titan buried his face in his arms.
They were just children, but their father, Ouranus, wanted to see them grow into mighty Titan warriors.
He would watch his children whenever they would compete and fight against each other. Sometimes, he would watch them with Mother Gaia.
Kronos has never managed to win any of their games. All he got were looks of disappointment from his parents.
He often wonders if they forget his name just to punish him.
"Don't worry, Little Brother." Rhea assured once more as she stood up and headed towards the lake, "You'll get stronger. I know you will."
Kronos lightly scoffed, "When is that ever going to happen?"
His sister screamed. He looked up, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Could she have...?...!
Kronos ran and dived into the water. He emerged moments later, holding his unconscious sister in his arms.
Rhea suddenly woke up with a smile on her face, "I knew you wouldn't let me down."
Realization struck Kronos and he angrily shook his sister for tricking him, "You scared me half to death!"
Rhea giggled, "At least I know you're going to be a brave Titan when you grow up. You're always be my brave Titan."
Curse you, Rhea.
She always does this; Do something reckless just to make him feel better about himself. It didn't help whenever she flashes that warm, sunny smile of hers.
Still. It felt good to hear someone believing in him.
Even though there's not even a slight chance that he'll ever...
Kronos didn't see it coming, but he managed to block his brother Iapetus' sword with own before sweeping his feet under his, knocking his older brother to the ground.
He took heavy breathes, exhausted from his long hours of training. The teenage Titan wished he had finally pleased his father and then be excused.
To his delight, his wish was granted.
He ran out of the castle gates and into the forest, rushing through many miles of land until he finally found her, sitting on a rock at the edge of a river, gazing at her reflection on the water as she placed a flower on her beautiful, black, curly hair.
After all these years, the first radiance he saw on the day he was born never wavered.
It's because of her he became the strong, skillful warrior he is now.
Kronos scowled when Hyperion approached Rhea. He sat close next to her. Too close...
Rhea's moment of peace was interrupted by the arrival of her older brother Hyperion. He has been talking non-stop of his latest wins and how his opponents never stood a chance.
He does realized she was THERE when it happened? Does he?
Hyperion suddenly stopped talking. Rhea turned around to face him, only to realize that he was frozen stiff. She giggled in amusement at the prankster who was approaching her with a bouquet of flowers in his arms.
"You, are one terrible Titan." Rhea teased as she leaned on his shoulder.
"Only for you, my dear." Kronos teased back as he laced his finger around hers.
The moment they left, Hyperion was unfrozen. He found himself alone, and covered in flowers.
Even in his mouth.
"Kronos?" An adult Rhea called for her brother, "Kronos!"
Where is he? They were suppose to meet up here.
Rhea decided to pass the time by fixing up her hair. Just as she was about to place a rose on her hair, the ground began to shake. She looked down at the river, its waters rippling in sync with the tremors. Around her, the animals, including the fishes and birds, fled as the large trees shook.
The tremors were getting stronger, as if an unknown force was coming closer.
When the trees were parted, the unknown force was revealed to be a giant, a hundred-foot giant with two large horns on his head.
Rhea gazed at the tall being before her, surprised at its sudden appearance.
Yet, it didn't occur to her that she has to run away.
When the giant bent down and held the palm of his hand towards her, she didn't hesitate to get on.
The giant rose, giving Rhea a perfect view of the forest.
While the giant walked, she marveled at the beauty of nature around her. And if the view wasn't breath-taking enough, the sunset was. She could feel the last rays touching her skin as she relished the warm sensation.
Moments later, the giant lowered her back to the ground before he glowed and shrunk into Kronos.
"Well that was new." Rhea remarked as she slowly approached her brother.
Kronos chuckled, "That's it? Why is my dearest sister always so hard to please?"
Rhea stopped an inch away from him and poked his chest, "Well maybe you should try harder."
With one finger, she pushed Kronos into the river before joining him.
The two laughed and played in the water, splashing each other.
Kronos disappeared in the water before emerging moments later, right behind his sister who he playfully enveloped in a hug.
Rhea laughed as she tried to pry him off. She gave up, only to turn around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him into a kiss.
Kronos was caught by surprise, but then returned the kiss, holding the back of his sister's head with one hand, while his other arm was wrapped around her waist.
After a few moments of bliss, they parted for air. Kronos' sun-blazed golden eyes gazed into Rhea's twinkling sea-green eyes.
Was this it? Was it the time?
"Rhea?" Kronos spoke first, breaking their moment of silence, "Will you..."
The moment was interrupted by the frantic call of their mother.
What happened next...
Rhea shook the memory away, but no matter how many times she tried, it keeps coming back;
Mother telling them to kill Father... The scythe... Her little brother...
Ever since that day, he changed, for the worst.
What happened that darkened her sweet little brother's heart, and turned him into a child-eating monster?
Many years have passed, yet those memories kept haunting her. She tried to stay away from every war, but they keep coming back, even at the slightest mention of "fight".
As she runs her fingers on the flowers of a rosebush, she could hear footsteps approaching her from behind. She could sense the aura of an immortal.
A very familiar aura.
The footsteps stopped. She turned around to face the familiar pair of golden eyes she has not seen for so many years. She waited patiently as he took off his helmet, revealing the scar her son inflicted on him during their last encounter.
"My dearest sister." Kronos ran his hand through her hair, feeling her soft curls between his fingers, "Even after your betrayal, your radiance has never wavered."
Rhea closed her eyes as she felt his hand move from her hair to her face. His hand was cold, and hard, yet his touch was nostalgic, giving her a sense of closure.
Rhea didn't want to partake in the war that was about to happen, but her fate was sealed the moment she locked lips with the one she betrayed many years ago.
Please Rick. PLEASE.
