A/N: You would not believe the homework I've had this week. Ugh. My apologies for the delayed update. Hopefully you guys will like it. (I'm not super happy with it myself, really.) Ethan's story, in freeverse poetry.

Restoring balance, stopping the destruction of all that was good in the world-was that treason?


Traitor


"Treason," he snarled

With his gold eyes

Burning, burning, burning

But Ethan

Didn't agree

He was no

Traitor

Setting the scales

Restoring balance

Ensuring justice—

Was that treason?

Balance, balance, balance

It was always about balance

The gods weren't—

Stubborn and unstable and

Fickle, fickle, fickle

And surely Kronos

Who had been imprisoned

For so long

Who was older, wiser, stronger

Would restore that precious

Equality, equality, equality

So he joined

But it wasn't balance

Not the fair justice

He had hoped for

It was pure destruction

But he still wanted

Revenge, revenge, revenge

At the end of the story

On the next-to-last page

(The one no one reads

Because they want to get to

The End)

He found

Justice, justice, justice

A sword in the stomach

For a sword to the neck

And it

Hurt, hurt, hurt

"Treason," Kronos snarled

As his eyes glowed gold

Ethan crumbled

As he was

Falling

Falling

Falling

He knew he was no

Traitor

Traitor

Traitor
