Prologue

3rd person point of view

Primordial palace : throne room, Void

All the primordials were in the thrown room, their thrones in a circle with Lord Chaos in the front. All eyes were on Nyx, primordial of the night, and her swollen belly. She looked, surprisingly, happy. Her dark hair was flowing freely to her waist and her black eyes were filled with a strange yet happy light.

To the left of her was Hemera, primordial of the day and her counterpart. She was giving Nyx a comforting smile and patted her belly.

To the left of Hemera sat Aether, primordial of light and the upper atmosphere. He looked over at Nyx gave her a sly smile.

Next was Uranus, primordial of the sky, was just sitting on his throne. He, unlike most of the others, did not think of Nyx's pregnancy to be of much importance.

Chronus, next to Uranus, was the primordial of time. He along with Uranus found this to be unimportant.

To the left of him, was Lord Chaos. The creator and primordial of the void. He had called this meeting to discuss, as some of you might have guessed by now, the pregnancy of Nyx, for this matter troubles him.

Next down the line sat Ananke. Primordial of inevitability, destiny, fate, and necessity. So of course she already knew this would happen and was not surprised in the slightest.

Then there was the empty throne of Tartarus, the primordial of the abyss. This troubled the others as well as angered some. Gaia, the primordial of the earth, was next to tartarus's throne and was looking at it worriedly.

Then there was Eros, primordial of love/desire, who, along with Phanes next to him, the primordial of procreation, were grinning widely at Nyx.

The two primordial of the sea, Pontus and Thalassa, were talking in hushed tones. Glancing nervously at Nyx and Erebus next to Thalassa.

To Nyx's right and Thalassa's left sat Erebus, primordial of the dark and shadows, who was looking enviously and angry at Nyx belly.

Lord Chaos cleared his throat, calling everyone to attention. "As you all know, we are her to discus the matter of the child Nyx is currently pregnant with, a child with a mortal human as its sire." Erebus stood up abruptly. " I say we kill the child! This was obviously a mistake. We cannot allow for a child of a primordial and a mortal to exist!" He shouted angrily. Eros shook his head. "Your jealousy at Nyx getting pregnant with another man is clouding your judgement. Think. The ancient laws bind even us, we can train this child to be our champion since we ourselves cannot get involved in the affairs of the universe."

Erebus's face was red with rage. " Then she could have a child with someone else, or better someone else can have the child. But i will not stand for her to have a mortal child." Phanes spoke up. " that cannot happen Erebus, it is against our laws to procreate with a mortal, yes. However, if she or anyone were to procreate with an immortal, then the laws that bind us would bind the child as well, and we would have no way to take part in mortal affairs, or the affairs of the galaxy." Erebus was about to shout something else at Phanes but chaos interrupted him.

"ENOUGH." His voice boomed. " I agree, what Nyx did was against the law, but Phanes and Eros have a point. If we were to bless and raise the child, it could be our champion." "That is preposterous!" Erebus yelled. "No it is not." Ananke's voice rang clear as day through the room. Erebus immediately silenced himself. The primordial of fate and destiny was not to be ignored or disrespected. "I have foreseen the need of this child. As you all know, Tartarus has decided to side against us and seeks to rule the universe." She motioned to his empty throne. "He will not be having a direct war against us, the primordials and protogenoi. He will he waging war against the demigods and Olympians of Earth. Therefore we cannot interfere. But if Tartarus wins that war, we are doomed to fall. The power he will gain from that victory will be too much for us to defeat."

"And what does this have to do with Nyx's child?" Erebus growled.

"Her child is mortal. Instead of being a demigod or demi-Titan, it will be a Demi-protogenoi. And while the same rules would apply to it as with demigods, it will be more powerful because of its parentage. And as the Olympians use their children to deal with problems on the earth, we shall use this child to fight our war against Tartarus." Ananke concluded.

Nyx looked horrified. "I will not! I refuse to have and raise a child only to have it fight in a war which most likely will be its death!" She cried. Chaos shook his head. "I am sorry my dear. But if you refuse to allow your child to do this, then we must kill it." Nyx then broke down weeping, Hemera, Phanes, Eros, and Aether went to her. Comforting her and hugging her. Chaos looked away, guilt obvious on his face. But what must be done must be done. "All in favor, or Nyx's child fighting our war, raise their hands" he said.

Himself, and everyone excluding Aether, Phanes, Eros, Hemera, and Nyx raised their hands. Majority rules. He silently walked up to the sobbing Nyx, earning himself glares from the ones comforting her. He gave her a small hug and stood up. "I am sorry, Nyx." And he walked out of the throne room.
