Chapter 2:

Kronos

I walked up to the dark cave. I could feel the two Gods that inhabit the dark cave. I could also sense my brother's fear and pain. As I descended into the shadows I heard the whispers.

"Titan. You have no business here." The shadows whispered. I saw the shadows turn into the beautiful naked Goddess Nyx. Her husband Erebus came from the shadows, naked as well. "I'm here to release Kronos. Now stand aside." I said. Being the Titan of light I was able to shine light inside the cave.

They both covered their eyes. The light was too much to bear. Hyperion raised the Epirus Bow and aimed at the two Gods. He was about to shoot the golden arrow but the two Gods retreated into the remaining shadows. Hyperion reached the cavern that held Kronos.

"Ah, brother." I said with a chuckle, seeing the King of the Titans weak.

"Hyperion. You've finally arrived. What took you so long?" He said with anger in his voice.

"Relax brother." Hyperion raised the bow and aimed at Kronos's shackles. He shot the golden arrow and watched as bright light erupted from the shackles.

They walked out of Nyx's cave and Kronos erupted with laughter.

"I'M COMING FOR YOU ZEUS! YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!" Kronos yelled to the heavens.

Athena woke up with fear. She heard a sound of violent anger. Her lover stirred beside her.

"Athena, my love. What is it? What do you feel?" Poseidon said putting an arm around her shaking body. The two Gods have been lovers for years. They both loved each other very much. Athena had never felt love for any man, mortal or immortal, until Poseidon wooed her. Poseidon no longer felt love for Amphitrite or desired any other women.

"I feel violent anger." She said softly.

Ares burst into Athena's chamber. Athena gasped and covered herself with blankets. She blushed that Poseidon didn't cover himself up and that Ares had caught them…again. There were only five Gods who knew about their love. Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite and Hermes who swore to keep the secret. They all feared that Zeus would kill them if he ever found out. Neither Poseidon nor Athena wished death for the other.

Ares didn't look surprised, instead he looked angry. Something was wrong.

"Kronos has been released." Ares said. We got dressed and went to the Council Chamber.
