Hemera watched the situation from her throne far away.
Her husband, Aether, had forbidden her to be any closer, as his overprotective side came out when she had gone out last time and he couldn't find her. He would still hoover around for a little, before being satisfied and leaving. What once was cute, now was annoying and Hemera only found peace with herself watching the unfolded situation.
She had decided to visit Gaea- to be a nice Primordial and say 'hello', nothing more than that -and the sneaky had proposed to her to even the sides, asking her to side with her. Hemera had been shocked into silence, before she returned to her home. Just because she liked to dress like Harley Quinn didn't mean that she was insane!
Aether had been very happy to see her, but his smile turned into a frown and asked her where was she and that he had been very worried about her. Hemera reassured him that she was fine, but didn't tell him what had happened. She didn't want him more worried.
Now, she was a watcher of the upcoming battle from her home in the skies.
Aether soon joined her and, to her surprise, didn't hoover around her but simply stayed next to her, watching how the different troops were settling. You could identified the dark aura of Nyx and the shine bright armors if the Olympians. The Titans looked like they were all dirty, but that was because they weren't wearing armors. Both light entities also identified the large and big white tent placed on one side of the battlefield with a big red cross.
Hemera smiled to herself, sadly. She should be there, helping the wound ones. But her own recklessness had confined her on the hight. With nothing else to do, she sighed and leaned on her husband and prayed that this war ended quickly and that the winner side was mercy with the defeated. And the people of Earth.
All she could do now was pray.
No words were uttered while everyone was preparing for war.
It was a silent arrangement between all the parties involved. Obviously, if they had spoken to each other, they would have ended shouting and attacking each other, beginning this war much earlier than they were expecting. While everyone had the same goal in common, each of them had a different reason to achieve it.
On the Primordial camping, Ouranos was confident that his new powers will help him win this war. Now that the main nuisance was gone, Ouranos could focus on the battle plans and startegies. He was so focused however, that he missed the penetrating looks from Nyx, who appeared to be ready to gut him on the spot.
Gaea, meanwhile, was busy taking the Triplets away from the battle. Knowing that the camping was not a place for them to be, she created a silent deal with Tethys, who agreed to receive them into her Peace Corps. After all, children should not be held into account by their parents' sins, right? Once the Triplets were safe, Gaea returned to the site to avoid Nyx to gut Ouranos, though she would probably be helping her.
Her young lieutenants were ready for battle, though some were terrified of what could happen to them. After Arachne's vision and emergency call to Gaea, they feared what could happen to them if they lost this war. Vetika concluded that she rather be dead than alive to face the wrath of Ouranos if they were still alive and lost.
Tethys was in charge of the Peace Corps.
All those deities that she and Lelanto had gathered were ready to help if needed. Nectar and ambrosia were being stacked into a side, while stretchers and bandages were placed into another. Many of the entities around her were goddesses or female primordials that had been left aside for not being powerful. While that may be true, they just wanted a chance to prove themselves.
Tethys was worried that Perseus Jackson was missing yet. She knew the youngest god of the Parthenon had gone to fix a problem concerning his new powers. What was lacking in experience, the kid- no, the young god had it in enthusiasm and discipline. Tethys had never seen someone so eager and fast learner. She assumed that he would appear soon enough and will be lending a hand.
Rhea had also showed up and decided to lend her hand into healing. No harm will come from two of the three sides- Tethys will admit that probably no side would take repercussions on Rhea's choice -and she was great with them.
Even if they weren't fighting, Tethys would consider this a success.
The Olympians looked more ready for a Broadway show than war.
His shiny armors and showstopper appearances was contrasting with the situation. Unfortunately for them, Aphrodite had decided not to fight along with them, rather being neutral. Though a big blow to their power as a group, that wasn't a great loss.
Apollo, their shiny god, was pale at the prospect of fighting Python once this war was over. Though he had defeated it once before, the thought of doing it again and have some window of losing was driving him crazy. He feared that he would be useless to the Olympians and he knew that Zeus would drop his sorry butt if it was beneficial for him.
Athena and Ares, for once in their lives, were in agreement and were making mental plans about the terrain and the different positions that could be adopted. While Athena was thinking about discretion and surprise attacks, Ares was more of a 'attack the moment you see them' mentality. Both would have to make their cases to Zeus for him to choose.
Though, once aiding Gaea, the Titans decided to be on their own now.
Of course, being someone like Kronos in charge- or winning that right -was never going to aid his mother if the chances of victory are small. Besides, Kronos knew that his mother will dump him the second she saw a victory and her weapon could be impaled on his back and he would not have seen it coming.
The Titans weren't prepared this time around. They didn't have armors not well fabricated weapons. All they had were their bodies, which made some of them remember the time when they put down Ouranos with only their bare hands. Though many will grudgingly admit that it was Kronos' scythe what cut Ouranos in tiny pieces. Most of them decide to forget that detail.
Many minor Titanesses decided to join them. One of them, Calypso, who still resenting the Olympians and their superiority and Kronos had offered her the opportunity to get even at them. So, Kronos was counting on their vengeance's streak to win this war.
From the skies, Aether and Hemera felt the change in the air.
The war was about to begin!
Hello, boys and girls!
Today's update has a bittersweet taste to me. I'll just jump to the important bits cause there are no news regarding my personal life and such, so the news about the stories it is!
Today, with both a heavy and ecstatic heart, I announce the ENDING (I wrote it in caps so there are no misunderstandings between us, but I'll say it again, ENDING) of TWO (again, TWO) of my stories. It is sad for me, but don't worry. I won't quit writing. Here's why:
1) I still have Sis/Bro! Your Shadow is Hot! to post and finish.
2) I have embarked myself in two collaborations (none of them will appear in my profile, sorry), so I'll be busy for a while.
3) I have my newest story poll on my profile! So, please vote there (vote will only count from there, so please no comments about it. In it, you can find the link to the same, but external poll, will only count those two places)
Anyway! Here are the chapters today!
Rise of Ouranos (ReWrite) (former collab with LordNitro): 3 chapters! These are the last chapters, so I first want to thank LordNitro for starting this story with me (hope it reached your expectations) and you all for sticking through this rewrite. THANK YOU!
