Hi! So sorry that it took this long to finally finish the chapter. But I worked really hard and I am super proud. If you do see any errors or grammatical errors, please tell me!
"I guess this technically started at the very beginning when Chaos created Mother Earth, named Gaea. From Gaea, came the sky, Uranus. Together, they have many children, one of whi-"
"Wait," Keefe interrupts Annabeth, "Gaea is his mother and his wife?"
"What? No! I - uh - never mind. Don't interrupt!" She looked him straight in the eye. "They had different children. Some of their children had one hundred hands and eyes. Others were giants. Some of their children were titans." Alden breathed in, sharply. No one noticed.
Annabeth continued, "Uranus hated his children. He thought they were ugly and unimportant. Gaea hated that, so she conspired with her children to kill Uranus. Only one titan stepped up. His name was Cronus, and he was the youngest of all the Titans. He successfully killed Uranus and separated the heavens from the earth. Cronus married his sister, Rhea and - Keefe shut it." She stared at Keefe looking him dead in the eye. He smirked at her. He was really getting on her nerves. "When they had children, they realized their children were not titans. They were a new species, called gods. Anyway, moving quickly along, Cronus had to get rid of his kids. So he um… disposed of them." Annabeth laughed awkwardly.
"Why do I feel like you aren't giving us the whole story?" Fitz questioned in his crisp accent.
"Because it's not necessary for the story!" Biana opened her mouth to argue, but Annabeth interrupted, "MOVING ALONG. Zeus was the youngest of the six gods. He defeated his father and claimed the world for the gods. Zeus and his two brothers took control over different sections of the world. Zeus is the king of the gods and the sky. Poseidon is king of the sea. And Hades is the king of the underworld. All the gods have powers and control over different things. Zeus married Hera and -"
"Lemme guess. They were siblings." Keefe once again interrupted. This is so annoying. Annabeth couldn't even explain the story. Although it looked like she wasn't the only one upset. "Ouch, Foster, calm down," he said, fanning the air between them, "I won't interrupt anymore." Sophie sighed, in annoyance.
"Okay…" Annabeth said awkwardly.
Percy stood and said, "Long story short, when a god has a child with a human, they become a demigod. Some demigods have god bodies. Other have human bodies. Most of them have powers. All of them are hunted by monsters. We are all demigods, and we have saved the world a couple of times. No biggie. What I am more concerned about is why he," he pointed to Alden, "knows who we are. Aren't you not supposed to communicate with humans?"
"Well, yes. But that wasn't always true," Alden cleared his throat, "Because long ago, elves and demigods worked together to defeat monsters. We even, at one point, plotted against the gods themselves."
Okay, so what do you think about that chapter? It was really fun for me to write, but I'm a myth nerd. Is this kinda boring or not necessary? Let me know!
You know the drill. Please follow, fav, and review
