Mount Othrys
A council of Titans were being held at mount Othrys. All the Titans were present as were some minor gods who were really out of place frankly speaking.
"Lord Kronos we have searched across the world but there was no trace of the elder Cyclops or the god who broke them out." Atlas was the bearer of bad news and the mountain shook under the Titan king's temper
"They have not taken refuge under the Oceans. We have searched thoroughly and there was no trace of them." Oceanus reported readily as he was the least trusted by the King of Titans for his refusal to participate in the downfall of Ouranos
"Then where did they go? They could not have vanished into thin air." Kronos bellowed and all the minor gods recoiled at the harsh killing intent projected by the Titan
"Perses is still searching for the culprit my king. He will surely find them." Hyperion said trying to pacify the Titan King as even some of the Titans were becoming concerned with the erratic behaviour of Kronos. The last thing they needed was a civil war to break out between the Titans.
Just then a thunderous sound was heard as the sky split apart and a strong light came down from the sky and struck the floor of the throne room cracking the floor. When the light diminished they saw Perses sprawled on the floor bleeding Ichor.
All the Titans jumped on their feet as the other figure struck his spear on the floor creating a shockwave that made the thrones of Othrys shake.
"How dare you come into our throne room uninvited?" Kronos bellowed in rage
"I thought I was invited seeing as I heard you were looking for me." Aegon said with a playful smile even in face of danger
"You were the one who set the cyclops free!" Atlas stated as he sized up this new threat before him
"Indeed I am." Aegon answered truthfully without a shred of worry
"Why?" Oceanus asked curiously
"Because they are family." Aegon's answer shocked the elder Titans
"What??" Kronos asked as his ire rose to new heights
"Indeed brother. I am the youngest child of Ouranos. Born from his remains as you cast them in the seas. Born to defy you as per his wishes." Aegon said as he focused on Kronos with an unreadable stare
"Defy me!!! Ha, know your place you fool. You do not have the skill nor the power to challenge me. Krios, bring me this upstart's head." Kronos ordered
Krios charged with his sword raised but Aegon blasted him away from the palace by striking him with a golden energy. Seeing this Oceanus summoned water from thin air and made it surround Aegon to drown him.
Aegon ignited himself with intense hot flames that vaporized the water and then spun his spear and struck Oceanus across the face blasting him away into Iapetus who was about to charge at him.
Kronos stood with a roar as he brought forth his scythe and struck the floor. The energy from that strike scattered the rest of the Titans and travelled towards Aegon. But he struck the spear onto the floor and using the spear as an anchor surrounded himself in a shield. The energy blast from Kronos cancelled itself out as it struck the shield dome.
This enraged Kronos even more and he used his power over time and froze Aegon just as the young god cancelled the shield surrounding him.
"Look at this fool my fellow Titans and gods. I have killed Ouranos the Primordial god of the sky. This one is merely a child playing with a little scrap of power. See what happens when you defy me." Kronos boasted as he stepped down from his throne and stood in front of Aegon.
Kronos raised his scythe to deliver the killing blow. Suddenly a golden glow enveloped Aegon and an unbearable heat was present in the throne room. The space around the Titans began to distort. With a huge force, Kronos was blasted away to his throne as a colossal energy was blasted from Aegon. The remaining thrones of the Titans were dislodged from their positions and caught fire. They began to melt away within seconds.
Kronos screamed as half of his face and his entire arm began to melt from the heat. At the centre of the huge energy stood Aegon as he began to take his true form. The energy crested and with a boom, he took his true form releasing the pent up energy knocking down all Titans and gods. Huge golden wings sprouted from his back as he grew to his true height. The entire palace was damaged as the stones melted away from the unbearable heat. From others point of view, it was as if the Sun itself had come down to earth.
"You said something about showing me my place. But you don't have to worry. I know my place well Titan. My place is in the heavens while yours is in Tartarus. Soon this will happen. Very soon you will be cast down to Tartarus in pieces as you have done to Ouranos. I will make sure of that." Aegon said as he blasted off to the sky shattering the floor of Othrys in the process.
The whole Titans were in disarray. They tried to keep control of everything but the mountain was crumbling around them, unable to take the power of such a god. The nature spirits that were captured or kept in prison found themselves free and they escaped from the palace with their life. The humans that were kept there as slaves found themselves transported far away from Mount Othrys. The minor gods teleported away and exiled themselves into hiding as they felt the shift in power.
Around his crumbling throne room Kronos screamed in rage and pain. He vowed that he will pay back this upstart god. But he realised his brothers were weak. He needed strong Titans, and that too from his own blood. It was time that he produced strong heirs that can destroy Aegon, his greatest enemy. But he never realised, what a crippling blow the Sun god has struck on the Titans.
Upper heavens
Aegon landed upon his realm. Aphrodite was waiting for him there.
"Have you succeeded?" she asked earnestly
"Yes, I have destroyed much of the thrones. The throne of Kronos still stands, unfortunately." he answered
"That does not matter. Already I can feel my strength expanding. Now I am free to influence them as the convergence of power upon Mount Othrys is gone. Gaea will not be able to shield the Titans any longer without her being present in person. You have dislodged the Titans from their mother's protection. Now their strength will be weakened considerably." Aphrodite said as she began to feel her own powers penetrate into the realm of earth
"They can still rebuild the thrones sister." Aegon cautioned
"Indeed they can. But it will never be as powerful as before. They will have to do it themselves now. Already much of the gods have escaped and gone into exile. What about our other plan?" She asked even as she expanded her realm of power
"Executed without any problem. I have imprinted our forms into the mind of mortals. They are safe in the deep forests. Soon they will begin to worship us." Aegon said
"I am not really sure about this plan of yours brother, having the mortals worship us. There may come a time when they refuse to do so. Try are too temperamental and unstable. I can already feel their feeble minds." Aphrodite said with her face scrunched up at the primitive thoughts running through the mortal minds
"Love and the Sun. One cannot live without the Sun and one cannot avoid love. We draw our power from our realms sister. Both of these realms are important to the mortals. Trust me they will worship us in their own ways." Aegon assured her
"Hmm, we will see." she murmured uncertainly
They slowly began to walk into the palace observing the Angels training in battle warfare.
"How are our dear Cyclops brothers doing?" he asked
"They seem content. They now have so many works since they have to craft much of the weapons for your army. Look, they even crafted me this knife." She said as showed her new knife with a smile
"That is a good looking knife." he said as the intricate patterns woven on the blade's periphery.
"It can even show me any person in the world through this Jewel." she said as she showed him a red jewel at the hilt
"That is very useful." he said as he thought about the uses it can have to spy on others
"The Cyclops is very skilful. They are now working on some special weapons for the Angels. They said something about drawing the energy of light." She said absently as she spun the danger in her hand
"I better check with them then. We can't have weapons of mass destruction in other hands." Aegon said as he left the place and walked towards the lake
He entered the lake and travelled to the forges of Cyclops. They had already constructed a place for themselves in the lake. As he further travelled into the palace he saw the hundred handed ones and the Cyclops working at the forges.
"I have heard you are working on a new weapon." he said as he floated towards them
"Lord Aegon, welcome to our home. We are just curious about the metals we found in your realm. It produces light at a very high intensity. We are merely experimenting with this new metal we call Solarium. We are trying to forge weapons from them." Arges said excitedly
"Have you had any success?" he asked curiously
"So far our normal methods seems to be ineffective. The metal refuses to even melt properly, so we are not able to cast a weapon." Briares said
"Let me see the metal." Aegon said
The Cyclops led him to a pot where the metal was placed as they were trying to melt it.
He placed his hand on the white metal and felt the heat from it as well as the magic in it. He set the metal on fire using his own flames. Golden flames began to melt the metal quickly. The Cyclops seeing this quickly added their magic into the molten metal. After the metal melted they poured the metal into a mould for a sword and shield. Then they began their work. After a few hours, the sword became a completely white blade while the shield was golden. The Cyclops presented him with the sword and shield. He spun the sword around and it was light as a leaf. As he struck a wall with the sword it was able to easily penetrate it without any damage. The shield was also light as a feather moreover it was strong enough to withstand any force. The Solarium metal was also able to channel his power easily.
Aegon then decided to melt as much Solarium metal as possible for the weapons for the army. He also asked the Cyclops to recast his spear with Solarium mixed into the celestial bronze. Bows were also being made which was able to draw the sunlight and create arrows. This will be a huge advantage in the coming war for sure.
