not a mortal: Is typhoon stronger than the giants cause if so kronos would be more powerful than the giants / Yes. Typhon is definately stronger than the giants. Typhon is the child of Gaea and Tartarus, whilst the giants are the children of Gaea and Tartarus. Kronos and the Titans are weaker than the giants if only because the Titans have been losing power over the years they have been in Tartarus as mortals forgot about them and stopped worshiping them. Combine their already weak abilities and the loss they suffered in the Second Titan War and you have one very weak race of immortals. The giants will never lose power as they get theirs from the earth/Gaea, so they are stronger than the Titans.


Chapter 7 - Bravery Is Fake

Theron arrived at the Wolf House in time to see Porphyrion raise his spear to impale Jason Grace. He immediately grew to twenty-one feet and threw StormWraith. Porphyrion stumbled as the trident impaled in his shoulder. "Hey, dolphin boy!" Theron yelled. Porphyrion turned as Theron's weapon flew back to his hand.

"Who are you?" Porphyrion asked curiously.

Theron muttered a few words under his breath. "I'm shocked that you don't know me, uncle." He grinned.

"You're Kronos' brat?"

"I prefer 'Prince of Othrys', but 'Kronos' brat' works fine too."

"Mother has plans for you, little Titan."

"I know, and I'm pretty sure it involves fading." Theron frowned. "Please tell her I'm not interested."

"That wasn't a request," Porphyrion growled and pointed his spear at the Titan.

Theron backed away slowly. "Point that thing at someone your own size."

"I would, but every being here is so small. You are the closest to my size." Porphyrion swung his spear and Theron quickly jumped to the side.

"What about now?" He asked as he shrank down to his usual height of eleven feet.

"That just makes it easier for me to squash you." Porphyrion sneered.

Theron glanced at Hera in her cage as he backed away from the giant. The Titan needed to stall him a little longer. Leo and Piper were almost done. He looked back at the giant in time to be flung through the air and into a wall. "You're worse than Hyperion!" Theron groaned as he staggered to his feet. "What is wrong with my uncles?" He spat out a glob of ichor.

"Are you ready to die, little Titan?" Porphyrion asked.

"Not exactly," Theron smirked as Leo and Piper broke the cage. The tendrils turned to dust and the mud around Hera disintegrated. The goddess grew in size and glowed with power.

"Yes!" The Queen of the Gods said. "Now I shall have my revenge!" Porphyrion back away from Theron and slammed his spear against the earth, disappearing into the ground.

"Cover your eyes, my heroes!" Hera shouted as she glowed brighter. Theron's eyes widened and he threw up his arms, erecting a barrier around the half-bloods as Hera turned into a supernova. Every monster that was still in the area vaporised immediately and Theron struggled to hold up the barrier. Hera soon became her mortal form and Theron dropped the barrier as soon as he could.

"What in the name of Tartarus was that for?" Theron yelled as he leaned against the wall struggling to regain his breath.

"I told them to cover their eyes." Hera sniffed.

"Yes, but your champion didn't. You would have killed him!" Theron argued.

"I'm fine," Jason interrupted as he didn't really want the two of them to do that at the same time, the Wolf House would probably explode with the power.

"Well, I must be going." Theron said quietly. "The council will likely punish me for this, but I saved a member of the family, so I don't care what my punishment is."

"How did you know?" Hera asked.

"Hestia told me," Theron winced as he stumbled over to them, "Though I couldn't resist killing Lycaon."

"Thank you for helping," Hera said softly.

"You're my little sis. Of course I'll help you."

Hera snorted. "Please don't tell me you'll be like Apollo."

"Of course not," Theron smirked. "I think you'll find I'm a lot like our father."

"Is that good or bad?"

"It depends if you're the child." Theron laughed. "Though I must go, the council-"

"I get it." Hera smiled, though it quickly faded when an angry shout echoed around.

"What in the name of Hades are you doing here?"

Theron shut his eyes. "Look… Thalia, I didn't know who I was or-"

Theron was interrupted by a bolt of lightning hitting his back and he growled reflexively. "Save it for someone who cares," Thalia retorted.

"Can we talk about this some other time?" Theron asked and glanced at Hera. "I don't exactly want the Titans to come here."

"Go," Hera nodded, "We will talk later."

Theron nodded and swiftly summoned his weapons. He was about to teleport away when a sleepy voice echoed around the clearing. "I knew you would come, son of Kronos. You have walked straight into my trap."

Theron cursed and readied StormWraith. "You have no business here! Leave. Else I will be forced to kill you."

"You bravery is fake, Theron," The voice hissed. "You are weak. Lycaon has done his job well enough."

Theron took a deep breath. "Leave, Gaia. The Titans will be here soon. Then you will have no chance."

"I will be done with you before they get here." Gaia laughed and the earth shot out of the ground beside Theron, knocking StormWraith out of his grip. Hera tried to blast the earthen tendrils, but it did nothing. The demigods watched in sick fascination as Theron was quickly surrounded. He slammed his fist into the earth around him and it momentarily crumpled before quickly filling in the hole again.

The Titan could hear yelling as he continued to try to punch through the earthen cage, but only managed to tire himself out rapidly with every punch he threw. Gaia laughed at his futile efforts. "It is useless, grandson! You are no match for me!" Theron didn't reply; he was too busy trying to not get squashed. He could see Hera looking at him in shock as she fired wave after wave of golden energy at the cage rising around him.

"Say goodbye, Titan," Gaia hissed as the earth blocked out all of the light around him and twisted, gradually closing in on him. Theron braced himself against the sides and pushed, trying to stop it from closing in on him completely.

"You are stubborn, just like your father," Gaia muttered and the voice echoed all around Theron. "But no matter, you cannot hold up against me for much longer, grandson!"

Theron scowled from within the cage. "Go to Tartarus!"

"So be it!" Gaia growled and Theron felt the cage suddenly tighten, cutting off all of his air supply.

Then Theron smelt something he hadn't smelt in decades. "Release him, mother! Or I swear I'll tear you to pieces!" A voice roared and Theron heard a sound like water.

"Son," Gaia hissed. "This has nothing to do with you."

"I disagree. You are trying to force the Prince of Othrys to fade! You have brought the Titans' wrath down on you." The Titan bellowed.

Theron felt the force around him lessen and Gaia's presence disappeared. He collapsed to the ground, feeling his energy run out. Hera was watching the Titan that had helped them nervously as he hefted Theron up on his shoulders. The Titan took one look around at everyone staring at him in shock before chuckling and disappearing into sea water.


Who is the Titan that has come to save Theron? What will happen next chapter?

A question for this chapter:

Can you name all of the Seven?

I am looking for someone who will do a 'Reading The Crooked One's Rise' story. Please contact me by review or PM if you want to have a shot at this.
