Oceanus started feeling uneasy since a regiment of fire jotunns from Muspelheim arrived in Mount Orthrys. He knew Ophion must have plan something without consulting with the Supreme Council first. Yeah, Ophion likes to make his own decision without listening to anyone excepts Thiran, his own advisor.

"Oceanus!"

As Oceanus stood near the palace's main door, someone was calling his name. When he turned behind, he saw Iapetus and Themis were running towards him.

"Oceanus, what's going on in here!?" Iapetus asked worrily.

"No idea, I just came from my palace and a bunch of fire jotunns just appeared in our capital" Oceanus replied.

"Could Ophion have planned something without our concern first?" Themis was the next to ask.

"Yes" Oceanus nodded grimly.

"Damn it" Iapetus muttered.

Soon, the Titans spotted Thiran walked towards the fire jotunns from eastern side of the palace. One of the fire jotunns, possibly the captain gave a salute to Thiran.

"Welcome to Mount Orthrys, brave warriors of Muspelheim" Thiran greeted them.

"It's a great honor to meet you, my lord" the captain greeted back.

"Thiran... I wish I could rip off his head" Themis growled.

"We'll do it in the right time" Oceanus replied.

"That's it" Iapetus said.

"What?" Oceanus raised his eyebrows.

"Cronus and Rhea must return to Mount Orthrys. Everything is in danger right now" Iapetus said.

The Aesir and the Vanir meanwhile were seen gathered together in the throne room of Asgard. One of the hot topics being argued was the newly formed alliance of Surtr and Ophion. The Norse deities were suspicious of Ophion and Surtr's next move.

"Surtr is officially allying with Ophion!?" Freyr was shocked in anger.

"Yes" Odin nodded grimly.

"That's it! I know Ophion is allying with the fire jotunns to invade Asgard!" Thor shouted.

"We need to strike back at Mount Orthrys immediately! We must put an end to Ophion's threat once and for all!" Vidar suggested, earned the cheers of other deities.

"Calm down! Calm down, everyone! We're still investigating about it!" Skadi said.

"But this is not a mere joke! They probably have planned something we don't know!" Thor replied.

"Speaking about their alliance, does it have something to do with Cronus and Rhea?" Heimdallr guessed.

"Maybe" Odin replied.

"They are hiding in Jotunheim, right?" Frigg asked.

"Yes, mother. I have met them before" Thor answered.

"What are they doing in the realm of jotunns?" Bragi asked in curiousity.

"Cronus and his wife have journeyed for so long after he defeated his own father until he discovered a portal to Jotunheim in Iceland" Thor explained. "And he lives there quietly with his family until today"

"Listen everyone, as far as we know, Ophion is actually a paranoid ruler" Odin said.

"And maybe he's seeking help from Surtr to suppress rebellion in his territory" Aegir added.

"Is he too weak to rule?" Thor mocked.

"He's dumb ruler, what do you expect from him?" Heimdallr said.

"Whatever his reasons will be, we can't take it lightly. This is a serious matter and we need to take further actions immediately!" Freyr said.

"You right, boy. We must make pace before it's too late" Odin replied.

"Allfather!"

The Norse deities quickly turned their attention towards Hermod.

"Speak, Hermod" Odin ordered.

"Titan Oceanus requested me to deliver this letter to you" Hermod said as he gave Odin a letter.

"A letter from Ophion's own minister?" Thor was confused.

"Just let Allfather read it first" Vidar said.

"Fine" Thor sighed.

Odin's eyes widened in shock as he read the letter.

"Oh no..."

"What's the matter, dear?" Frigg asked out of concern.

The Gigantes also gathered in their underground lair. One of King Porphyrion's minions just spotted a regiment of fire jotunns marching towards Mount Orthrys when he was tasked for searching for a sheep with emerald horns, and the giants have no idea about Ophion's hidden motives.

"Did Ophion already discovered our plan, my lord?" Pallas asked.

"I still have no answers for that, but their presence couldn't be good to us" Porphyrion replied.

"Perhaps he doesn't have any trust towards our kin anymore! That's why the jotunns are here!" Mimas was upset.

"Down with Ophion!" Thoas shouted.

Roars of giants echoed in the lair.

"If he plans to replace us with them, I'll personally welcome him to do that"

The giants went silent as they turned their attention towards Typhon, the largest and strongest among the Gigantes. Typhon is feared by every giants including King Porphyrion himself.

"He can do it, but he'll regret it later" Typhon added.

"What do you mean?" Porphyrion asked.

"I'm bet his alliance with Surtr will never last long. Surtr never trust Ophion in the first place" Typhon said.

"Do you mean Surtr will betray Ophion someday?" Agrius asked.

"Yes" Typhon grinned.

"Let just hope that their alliance will end in failure" Mimas said.

Porphyrion started to think of Typhon's words. If Typhon speaks the truth, this is a good thing to him. It would be easier for the Gigantes to launch a rebellion against Ophion, he thought.

A few hours later...

"Cronus...Cronus..."

Cronus couldn't sleep. That voice kept repeating his name again and again. He wondered, why? WHY HIM? What are they want from him? Did he just committed a divine crime?

He turned his face away to the left, glancing at his wife who's sleeping peacefully. Carefully Cronus left the bed without waking her, but not before gave her a kiss on the forehead. A faint smile then formed on Rhea's lips

As he exited his house, he spotted a cloaked figure stood in front of him. That night was very windy, fallen leaves were seen scattered on the front yard.

"Cronus..." the cloaked figure whispered.

"W-who are you...and what do you want?" Cronus asked, shocked by her sudden presence.

Your absence have left the world in chaos, you must return with your family immediately" the cloaked figure said.

"Me? My family?" Cronus started getting confused.

"Yes" the cloaked figure nodded grimly.

Unbeknownst to her, a grizzly bear appeared next to the cloaked figure, sniffed her.

"Hey, get away from me!" the cloaked figure scolded, getting annoyed by the grizzly bear's behaviour.

"Well, sorry miss, but your perfume smelled like bread" the grizzly bear replied.

"Uhhh, whatever, I'm leaving here. But don't forget what am I said, okay?" she spoke for the last time before quickly vanished into a puff of smoke.

"Hey Cronus, is she your friend?" the grizzly bear asked.

"No..." Cronus slowly shooked his head.

The long night has finally passed, and the morning has arrived to shine the world of jotunns.

Cronus just stared at the fried egg on the table blankly. Zeus was sitting next to him, happily enjoying his favorite breakfast as usual.

His mind was still thinking about what happened last night. And one more thing, who's that cloaked figure? And what are her actual motives?

"Cronus?"

Cronus quickly glanced at Rhea, her eyes were full of concern about him.

"Are you okay?" Rhea asked with a worried expression.

"I'm fine. I'm just having a bad dream last night" Cronus replied.

"You better eat that fried egg. It's getting colder" Rhea said.

"Okay" Cronus nodded as he grabbed a fork.

"Dad!"

Hera, his youngest daughter (second youngest child after Zeus) hugged him from behind.

"Good morning dad" Hera greeted.

"Good morning" Cronus smiled. "Have a seat"

Hera then took a seat next to him.

"Where are the others?" Cronus asked.

"They're already awake" Hera answered.

"Mom!"

Demeter rushed into the kitchen with miffed expression on her deeply blushed face. She constantly rubbed her left cheek with her handkerchief non-stop.

"What's the matter, sweetie?" Rhea asked.

"Hades is a pervert! He licked my face and it's very gross! I hate him!" Demeter said.

"Hades do...what?" Hera narrowed her eyebrows.

Soon, Hades then entered the kitchen, only pretended nothing happened.

"Hades, what in the name of Chaos are you doing?" Rhea narrowed her eyes.

"It's not my fault, mom. She's the one who provoke me first" Hades said.

"I don't care what you said, Hades. Apologize. NOW!" Rhea ordered.

"No way, I won't apologize to her no matter what" Hades insisted.

One minute later...

Rhea pinched his left ear, making Hades screamed in pain. Cronus and Hera just stared in silence, not interested to interfere, while Zeus just ignored the scene, his breakfast is much more important to him. His eldest daughter and also eldest child, Hestia was seen walking behind them, with Poseidon followed from behind.

"Mom! It hurts!" Hades screamed.

"Hades, I don't teach you to be a bad boy" Rhea said.

"But Demeter is a witch!"

"Hades!" Rhea pinched his ear harder.

"Okay! Okay! I apologize now!" Hades pleaded.

"Good" Rhea released his ear. Hades slowly rubbed his ear in pain.

"Serve you right, pervert" Demeter sticked out her tongue out in victory.

Hades gave Demeter a glare.

Perhaps the time finally come. Cronus and his family must return to Mount Orthrys soon. The prophecy must be fulfilled.

The end.
