not a mortal: This book is awsom!but i thought tarturas hated the titans,since he killed krios hyperion and possibly iapetus / Firstly, thanks for saying it is awesome and for being the first reviewer. Secondly, Theron and Tartarus sort of share a domain, Theron keeps the monsters in line with the help of Tartarus telling him where they are, and Tartarus doesn't like the other Titans much, but knows if he killed any they would be forced to reform again and they would be in Tartarus for much longer. So he puts up with them.

Chapter 3 - Surprises

Back at Othrys Theron had a surprise. Monsters were roaming the grounds already. He recognised an elder dragon. Elder dragons were an older race of dragons that were nearly the size of drakons; they could fly and breathe fire. Perses whistled in appreciation. "How long did it take to do this?"

"I don't know. I have been trying to locate the DireWolf pack for the last week or so, they must have arrived then." Theron said as he looked around at the army that had come.

Perses grinned and made his way over to the monsters, intending to start training them. His two-handed greatsword formed on his back and Theron sighed. "Don't kill any of them, cousin. We need them."

"I make no promises." Perses replied. Theron shook his head and headed into the throne room, his children stayed with the monster army. Once in the throne room, Theron had another shock. Two Titans were lounging around, one of them on a throne whilst the other hovered in the air.

"Ah, nephew," The one on the throne said as Theron walked in. "Of course it's going to be you behind this all."

"Uncle," Theron nodded at the two Titans, "Cousin."

"Tell me, Theron," The elder Titan leaned forward. "Why are you alive, but no one else?"

Theron winced and looked at the floor but said nothing. "Of course," His uncle said bitterly. "You betrayed us again, didn't you?"

"Yes, Koios," Theron said quietly feeling like a child being scolded.

"And what did your father say about that?" Koios asked smirking slightly.

"I'm going to be grounded for millennia."

"Why do you want to raise Othrys again if you practically destroyed it a few weeks ago?"

"It is my fault, and I didn't want to do it." Theron scowled.

"The Fates?" Koios asked curiously and Theron nodded. "Alright, I forgive you. But answer me this, why are a lot of monsters excited about something?"

"Oh, that," Theron laughed. "I may have done something to annoy The Fates."

"What did you do?" The other Titan in the room asked.

"Nice to see you again, Lelantos," Theron bowed his head slightly.

"Nephew," Koios said harshly, "What did you do?"

"I may have destroyed the mist," Theron said sheepishly and the Titans' eyes widened then they started laughing.

"This will annoy The Fates," Lelantos snickered.

Theron shrugged. "I've had enough of them."

"What have you done so far down here?" Koios asked and Theron sat on his throne.

"The DireWolves are now searching for any Titans currently reforming, Perses is training the army and as you have come here, I assume word is reaching all of the Titans roaming the Pit."

"You are correct as to the last one," Koios said, "And what about Iapetus?"

"Don't you mean Bob?" Lelantos snorted and his father shot him a glare.

"He is fine with Hades; at least we know where he is." Theron replied.

Koios nodded and thought for a moment. "Do you have any word from the surface?"

"None as of yet," Theron frowned. "I intend to contact someone and ask what is going on up there."

"Who will you ask?" Koios asked curiously. "Last time I checked you weren't on good terms with any being up there."

"I can ask Hestia," Theron shrugged and Koios frowned.

"Are you on good terms with the gods then?"

Theron made sure to word what he said carefully. "Not completely. I insulted many of them, but the demigods aren't that bad."

"Even the sea's spawn Jackson?"

"He can be a pain in the ass," Theron conceded. "But I'm not on bad terms with him."

"Contact Hestia," Koios nodded. "We need to know what is happening. I can feel something waking, something stronger than us."

Theron frowned and thought for a moment about what Koios had said before he took his leave. A Septim formed in his hand and he made some mist as he walked. "Arke, show me Hestia, probably on Olympus." He threw the obsidian coin in the mist and an image formed. "Sister!" Theron called at Hestia who was tending the flames.

"Theron," Hestia smiled," I haven't heard from you in weeks. How are you?"

"I'm fine, you?" Theron genuinely smiled.

"Tending to the hearth, as always," Hestia replied.

"I was wandering, Hestia. Has anything happened recently?"

"Not much, Percy Jackson was offered godhood and turned it down. Grover the satyr became Lord of the Wild, and Annabeth the architect of Olympus." Hestia listed and Theron nodded.

"Anything else?"

"Mortals are screaming in panic whenever they see a monster," Hestia said and looked at Theron sharply.

Theron grinned. "It was a gift!"

"You destroyed the mist." Hestia stated.

"If the gods know what to do now, it will be a great asset to them." Theron said.

Hestia shook her head but was smiling slightly, "And what of you, brother? What have you been up to recently?"

"I have found three Titans and a pack of DireWolves are searching for the others," Theron then cleared his throat. "This is not just a social call, sister. We can sense something stirring and there are fewer monsters than there should be in Tartarus at the moment. I sense another war on the horizon, Hestia."

Hestia nodded. "I do too. We don't know what it is yet, but some of us can sense it."

"Could you keep me updated on what happens please?" Theron asked.

"I will as much as possible," Hestia agreed.

"Thank you, sister," Theron nodded before he said goodbye and disconnected the message. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, quickly deciding to have a nap whilst he had a chance. His room was on one of the upper levels of Othrys, next to Rhea and Kronos'. He had a secret passageway in one of the walls that led up into the dragon hold and the room was simply furnished. A window led onto a balcony through which Theron could see Perses 'training' the army. The Titan of Destruction was pummelling the monsters and training them that way, he had some anger issues.

In Theron's dream he found himself in 'The Palace of Fate'. The Fates were looking at him and he quickly bowed, not wanting to annoy them even more. Instead of them punishing him for anything they spoke a prophecy.

"Their forces awaken,

Father and son are shaken,

To work as one,

Till the deed is done,

To find the doors of death,

And protect to their last breath,

Alliances will be made,

And a goddess will be forgiven for making a Titan fade."


My prophecy comes in earlier this time (though there will be another in this story). How many of you can interpret what it means?

And we discover what Theron's 'gift' to the gods is. Koios, Lelantos and Perses are ready. Only around twenty to go!
