Aegon and Aphrodite travelled through an ocean of stars to reach the upper heavens. For the first time since the battle between the forces of light and darkness ended a divine presence entered the realm of Upper Heavens.
The upper heavens was a golden city built upon an asteroid that orbits the Sun of the solar system. It reminded Aegon of Asgard in MCU but it was completely deserted. The battle between Aether and Erebus destroyed all the army of Light and forces of Darkness. This war was the reason why the power of Protagoni began to fade from the world. Only very few of them were left in a position of power. The rest have faded away back to the source of creation.
Aegon knew all of this because of his merging with the Sun. The moment that he ascended to godhood the soul of Indra Rajput ceased to exist. Instead, a new soul was formed over the mortal soul. It was the soul of the Sun that emerged from the fires of the yellow star. It was this primordial existence that dominated his personality that Ouranos created with mere words. This was the reason why Aegon became more than what the Fates intended to be. For all intents and purposes Aegon became a Primordial God and with that came the instinctual understanding of himself and his connection with the source of creation. If he had retained his human soul the sensation and the knowledge about the source of creation would have shattered the soul. Even now the small traces of humanity left in him was in chaos as it could not comprehend the new existence it has become.
At the moment Aegon pushed all such thoughts away. He along with Aphrodite walked inside the palace and watched the many thrones and statues that have tumbled down as time has degraded them.
Aegon walked forward and placed his hand on the main throne. He channelled his godly energy into it. Immediately the throne reformed and became more presentable.
"Sit on the throne brother and channel your energy. Take control of the city and become the lord of the upper heavens." Aphrodite advised as she herself began to tap into the power of this place
Aegon sat down on the throne carefully. Immediately his energy began to enter the throne and then it spread throughout the city. The city became more vibrant as it regained the divine presence. The dark shade that had covered the city was lifted and it shined brightly. Ageon felt his powers settle as the control of the city reverted to him.
"We now have a safe home away from the Titans but we need allies to complete the edicts of our father." Aphrodite said as she herself breathed in the power and presence of this realm. Being a daughter of sky herself she could feel the realm blanket her in its energy protectively.
"The age of Titans have just begun sister. We have to wait for them to make enemies of others. Still, I think we can take a very powerful ally." Aegon said as his synchronization with the Sun afforded him with certain abilities
"What are you talking about?" Aphrodite asked with a frown
"From the memories of Ouranos which we inherited, he had some children with the Earth goddess. I was thinking about the elder Cyclops and the Hundred handed Ones. I can see they are now being freed from Tartarus by the Titans. Knowing the Titans they will somehow alienate the hundred handed ones. That will be our chance until then we must refine our power and a redecoration is needed for this palace." Aegon said as he closed his eyes watching the Titans and the Earth goddess with the Sun as a medium.
Ancient Greece
The three elder cyclops as well as the three, hundred handed ones were freed by the Titans. To show their happiness they built a palace for the Titans on Mount Othrys. Impressed by their skills Kronos allowed them to live in the palace. Kronos married his sister Rhea and declared themselves as King and Queen of Titans.
They formed a council of Titans in Mount Othrys. The council consisted of,
Oceanus: Father of the Waters and Titan of the Oceans and Water.
Koios: Lord of the North and Titan of Farsight, Intellect and Knowledge.
Krios: Lord of the South and Titan of the Stars and Constellations.
Hyperion: Lord of the East and Titan of the Sun, Light, and Power.
Iapetus: Lord of the West and Titan of Mortality and Pain.
Theia: Consort of Hyperion and Titaness of Splendor.
Rhea: Queen of Mount Orthys and Titaness of Earthly Elements and Motherhood.
Themis: Lady of Conduct and Titaness of Divine Law and Justice.
Mnemosyne: Lady of Remembrance and Titaness of Memory.
Phoebe: Consort of Koios and Titaness of Prophecy and Mystery.
Tethys: Consort of Oceanus and Titaness of the Seas, Freshwater, and nursing mothers
Kronos: King of Mount Othrys and Titan of Time and Agriculture.
For more than a hundred years the Titans ruled in peace but problems started to crop up one by one.
Shortly after releasing his brothers, the Elder Cyclopes and Hundred handed ones, Kronos became disgusted by their awful smell and the noise they made and summoned the other two most powerful Titans, Hyperion and Atlas, to imprison them. He also hired Kampê, the most terrifying monster in Tartarus, to guard them. Thus he broke the promise made to them and violated the will of Earth Goddess.
Kronos grew into a corrupt tyrant along with many of the other Titans as there was no one brave enough to stand up to them. They began to terrorise the nature spirits. The superior power of the Titans kept others from voicing any objections. Those that did was never again heard from. The Titans made a habit of eating any dissenters. Without the Earth Goddess to guide them the Titans became the very calamity that Ouranos predicted. But the age of Titans was coming to an end.
Aegon's POV
Aegon sensing an opportunity travelled to Tartarus. It took him days to reach the prison that held the Hundred handed ones and the elder cyclopes. After carefully navigating the pit he finally found the prison that housed his half-brothers. Aegon observed the monster Kampê for a few days. The monster would sleep for more than eight hours a day. So Aegon waited for the monster to be asleep to make his move.
After Kampê fell asleep, he climbed inside the prison. He slowly walked in and saw the elder cyclops and the hundred handed ones. They were chained to the wall but they could move inside the cave and their hands were free. It seems they were afraid of the Titans and that fear forced them to not even trying to escape.
"I thought the elder cyclopes and hundred handed ones were more courageous than this. You are the primeval gods of violent storms and lightning, yet you have become a slave to the Titans." Aegon announced as he walked in front of them after he had shrunken his size
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Arges asked with a frown
"My name is Aegon, God of Sun, Light and Upper heavens. I am a son of Ouranos. I was born from his remains after Kronos dumped them in the ocean." Aegon said as he approached the giant beings
"Go away brother. If the Titans know you are here they will destroy you." Brontes said sadly
"I will be going from here, but not alone. I came here to rescue you from Tartarus." Aegon said with a disarming smile
"It is impossible even for you. We are bound to these chains and even if we break it the monster Kampê is our warden. It will destroy us or even alert Kronos." Steropes said and Aegon could clearly see that he feared the repercussions that would follow
"I can protect you from the Titans. I have claimed the upper heavens, brothers. I now invite you to my home to stay there out of reach of the Titans. As for Kampe I can deal with her." Aegon tried to pacify the gentle creatures
"Even if you overcome Kampe, you will still make an enemy out of Kronos. He is too powerful now with his Scythe. He destroyed Ouranos after all." Briares said with a shiver as he remembered the dark energy he felt from the blade
"Then forge me a weapon that rivals the Scythe of Kronos in power. I will merge my light with the weapon to make it strong. The age of Titans is drawing to a close brothers. Their cruelty knows no bounds. With Gaea asleep, the Titans are destroying much of the nature spirits and generally wreaking havoc upon the world. They must be stopped. Will you stand with me?" Aegon asked
"If you promise on river Styx to give us a home in your realm, then we will help you brother." Arges said after a long period of silence
"Then I promise upon the river Styx, I will provide a home for the Elder Cyclops and the Hundred handed ones so long as they oppose the Titans." Aegon promised and a distinct thunder rumbled in Tartarus sealing the oath.
"Then we will forge you a spear. A spear that will triumph over the Scythe of Kronos." Arges said
They began to take mined Celestial Bronze from around them. The forges were lit again. While the Elder Cyclopes began to set the forge, the hundred handed ones began to create a mould for the weapon. After everything was set they placed the Celestial Bronze ore into the forge in a pot and began melting it.
"Come Aegon, pour your power into the molten metal." Arges urged
Aegon walked near the forge and summoned the light of Sun and placed his hand over the pot. His energy began to merge with the molten metal.
The hundred handed ones again put many more such pots and finally, they poured the molten metal into the mould. They began to cast spells upon layers of the weapon as it began to set.
For three days they cast many spells and inscribed magical runes upon it to strengthen it. Kampe never bothered to look into the prison as the Cyclops generally spent their time in the forges so the forging of the weapon was done without interruptions. On the third day, the weapon was ready.
Brontes took the spear from the mould and gave it to Aegon.
"The mightiest of weapons we have ever forged." Brontes said proudly waving Aegon over to the mould
Once Aegon took hold of the spear a light began to spread around and the darkness of Tartarus was cast away as a golden light began to shine in the pit. Aegon felt a huge refinement in his power as if it gained a very sharp edge.
Aegon spun the spear in his hands and then struck at the chains that held the Cyclops and Hundred handed ones. The chains fell broken.
Kampe roared from outside sensing the disturbance.
Aegon led them outside the cave. They faced the monster Kampe as it charged towards them.
"You are dead you scum. You have defied the will of Kronos." Kampe roared
"I was born to defy his will monster." Aegon said as he took his regular form.
The energy from his transformation blasted Kampe away.
Golden wings sprouted from Aegon's back. With a mighty flap of his wings, he flew towards Kampe at high speed and punched it on its head. Kampe's head snapped back from the strike.
The snakes that were on her head hissed at Aegon but he set them on fire. Kampe roared in pain as her head was scorched by his flames. Kampe swung her arm to strike at Aegon but he spun around and struck her with the shaft of his spear. Kampe was thrown away by the force of the blow.
As she lay disoriented from the blow, Aegon did not waste a single second and plunged the spear into her heart. Kampe roared in pain.
"Do you think this little wound can kill me, little god." Kampe asked with hatred and loathing shining in its eyes
"No, I don't think so. But this certainly will." Aegon said as he channelled his energy into the spear and a huge flame began to cover Kampe.
Kampe was burned from the inside. She began to dissolve into golden dust.
Aegon looked at his spear and marvelled at the power it held. Still, there was a lot to improve. The weapon is very powerful but he has yet to master its full strength properly. Aegon walked towards the Elder Cyclops and the hundred handed ones.
"Today I have seen your true ability. This is a great gift you possess and trust me the world will know about your talents. Now come, we still have to reach the gateway for me to teleport outside the pit." Aegon said to the Elder Cyclops
It took three days for them to reach the gateway. On the way, they dispatched all monsters that tried to block their path. Slowly the hundred handed ones regained their brave faces again. Once they reached there Aegon summoned his light and enveloped them all and then blasted off into the sky far away from Tartarus.
