Chapter 3

Mount Olympus Throne Room

Kronos scythe had been intercepted by a blade... A glimmering blade, beautiful to look at, yet very deadly in appearance. It was a hand and a half, fused with both celestial bronze and imperial gold in a beautiful way, such that the blade looked as though there was a light flame at the junction of the two metals - the fuller and the outer part. The outer edge was also lined with stygian iron along the sharp line of the edge, the tip completely so. The hilt, however, was a different story. The crossguard was made of silver, and extended parallel to the hilt at either end. The rain guard, just above the crossguard was fused silver and imperial gold. The grip was made to clear diamond and within the diamond tube, had two parts. The part closer to the blade itself had an hourglass with sand inside it. The Golden sands kept swirling and staying at rest alternatively. The second half was like a volcano. The eruption served as the holder for the pommel. The pommel was a glass orb, cloudy with swirling mist.

More astonishing, though was the person holding the deadly blade. He was dressed in full Greek armor, over a black shirt, and black tracks. He had shoulder long hair, blacker than night itself, and a cape flowed from his shoulders. The cape was beautiful; it was neither black nor any other colour known to man. It continuously flowed, changing colours seamlessly, resulting in a mesmerizing effect on anyone looking at it long enough. His face seemed timeless, almost feline, with high cheekbones, lovely lips, and a perfectly tanned complexion. His eyes, however, were the things that stood out most. They were completely white, and they shone with power. He seemed vaguely familiar to the gods, Annabeth and Luke.

Kronos was shocked. So shocked, in fact, that the time spell on the Olympians was broken. Hermes and Apollo immediately ran to Luke and Annabeth and began healing them, and moving them away from the Titan King. The other Olympians just stared at their new ally in shock. Many of the goddesses, like Hestia and Artemis blushed lightly, but it was soon banished and replaced with open-mouthed shock, as the new man began to work his magic.

"Who are you who dares to stop me!" bellowed Kronos.

"That isn't really your concern," said the man. His voice was deep and like a melody. He spoke like a practiced orator, calmly, as though he dealt with arrogant Titans everyday.

He pushed Kronos away from the thrones, and began slashing at him. His sword looked as though it was flowing in the light of the coals of the hearth. His aura extended around him, and it made him look like an angel, like those mortal representations of divinity.

Kronos tried to block his strikes, but in vain. It was like a dance, a beautiful, yet deadly dance. After about ten minutes, the stranger ceased his assault. In front of him stood Kronos, panting, ichor bleeding everywhere, his suit slashed to bits. The man, on the other hand, hadn't broken a sweat.

"You cannot kill me! I am the Titan Lord! I am the rightful ruler of this world!" screamed Kronos with all his energy.

The man's temper flared. " You? A ruler? Spare me the bullshit, Lord Kronos; the only thing you care about is yourself. A ruler is a man who cares for his subjects, puts them before all! A ruler is a man who keeps his family intact! A ruler is a man who knows the value of humility and is a humble man, or woman, who respects everyone! He does not torture his subjects for humour, starve them, rape and pillage them! He does not swallow his children! He does not castrate and chop up his father!" Aphrodite winced at this part, remembering her own birth. Zeus looked down at the man's words. But he had no intentions of stopping. "He does not coerce people into following his words! He commands respect! He understands that there are higher powers that he!" yelled the man. "What sort of a ruler are you, Kronos?" he said much more quietly, yet in a deadly tone.

"You still cannot kill me. I am invincible! I. Am. A. Titan!" said Kronos.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Kronos, you have grown senile, old man. In your haste to influence this Great Prophecy, you have forgotten a Much older, much more important prophecy. One given to you and no one else."

Kronos burst into laughter, punctuated by ragged breaths. "So what! Only a child of mine can kill me! Look there, you fool! My children are frozen in fear! I am more powerful -" Kronos was suddenly cut off as the sword was plunged into his chest.

What happened next amazed everyone. The sands in the hourglass began to spin violently. The eruption of the volcano became like actual lava. The cloudy ball of the pommel became crystal clear. Words appeared on the sword, flowing down its length. The man's eyes began to change colour, an iris appearing, shifting rapidly from white to a brilliant gold, to a deep blue, before settling momentarily on sea green, and then finally morphing into black. On seeing the green eyes, Athena, Poseidon, Hestia, and Artemis gasped.

Kronos began to crumble, into a black dust that was blown away by the breeze in the Throne Room.

"Goodbye father."

Another cliffhanger… Sorry guys, but I couldn't resist… Just a couple of things though… We may be updating everyday for now, but we won't until we get at least 10 reviews in total… The reason is we want to see how well we are writing and change our style, to give you guys a better story :) And we can't do that with only like two or three reviews… We have like one more chapters ready, and being proofread, but we will change it… So, ideas, criticism would be nice, but again, please don't be rude.

One more thing. The first person to give me any one or both of the answers to the following two questions will get a sneak preview of the next chapter. Just put it in the review box.

What is the pairing we have in mind?

What are the domains of the new man, if he were a God?

Where did I get many descriptions in this chapter? – Answer this one, and you get the whole chapter :)
