(3rd POV)
Gaia sat in her throne with the rest of the Primordials following her lead. It was Gabriel who spoke next, We are here after the news of Ouranos death and to deal proper punishment for those responsible. In accordance with breaking one of the Ancient Laws told to you upon my last visit Lord Perseus finds Gaia guilty of the crime. She has broken the rule number three, stating that "Primordials may not go to war against another Primordial. Any who attempt to break this law shall be punished by the Lord by his discretion." She was the orchestrator behind Ouranos death, she came up with the plan and made the weapon.
At this the Primordials looked at Gaia in shock before anger setting in. However Lucifer stepped in before any of them could do anything. Lord Perseus has decided that the punishment is as follows. You will be stripped of your rank as Queen of the Primordials, lose 10% of your power over the Earth and fall into a deep sleep for the foreseeable future. As for the rest of you, new rules for all immortals from this point forward.
1. All immortals are not allowed to directly interfere with mortals lives without provocation.
2. No immortal is allowed to attack a mortal without a clear challenge to combat by the mortal.
3. Should the immortals of one generation wage war upon another the winner becomes the next ruling class of the mortal world.
4. All immortals are tied to their domains, and any prayers pertaining to their domains will fuel their power. As long as a single mortal prayer happens yearly an immortal will not fade until a successor is found.
And since the Titans have defeated your king ,Ouranos, they shall become the next rulers of Earth. Lucifer finished speaking and Michael picked up where he left off.
You are recommended to monitor and maintain your domains. Before you leave power we ask that you give the Titans these laws to guide them and stop them from making the same mistake as some of you have. Michael gave them a tablet with the new set of Ancient laws that included rules for all immortals and the Titans. Meanwhile, Raphael was in the process of healing Ouranos of his significant injuries. Once he has gone the Archangels took their leave and left the Primordials to summon the Titans. The Titans were summoned shortly after the Archangels departure, once they arrived they knelt before the council.
Kronos was the first to speak of his brothers and sisters. My lords and Ladies for what purpose have you summoned us here?
Tartarus replied before anyone else could, We have been informed of your assassination of our King, Ouranos, and have been ordered by a higher being to do the following. The Primordial Council is henceforth disbanded along with our rule over Earth. Kronos since you dealt the killing blows are hereby King of the Titans. You are required to form of council of your brothers and sisters to rule over the Earth. We have been given a new set of Ancient Laws for you and your fellow Titans to follow. Beware of them as breaking them could have dire consequences as your mother has found out today. Once Tartarus had completed his speech he gave Kronos the tablet the with the new Ancient Laws of them. Kronos accepted the tablet with hesitance not knowing what it was. He seemed curious about what they were, and read them off for everyone to here them.
1. Titans may not obtain another's domain by force or any means. Any who attempt to break this law shall immediately fade for all time.
2. Every Titan must tether their power to a symbol of power, this symbol in return will be almost indestructible. However, should the symbol be destroyed or damaged beyond repair they will lose a majority of their power and a new one must be made. The process of making another symbol of power will take one century or near constant work.
3. Titans upon fading must find a worthy successor to pass the domains and power to. The successor must be approved by the council.
4. Titans may not steal another's symbol of power. Any attempt to break this law shall immediately be punished accordingly by the Lord.
The Primordials and Titans listened to them as they were read. The Titans were curious of who exactly made them and who was this Lord person. Although before they could voice their questions Ananke rose and began speaking to them. As the Primordial of necessity, compulsion and inevitability it is my job to pronounce your domains.
Kronos: Destructive Time and the Harvest, King of the Titans.
Hyperion: Light and Cycles of the day, Lord of the East.
Iapetus: Mortality and Life-Span, Lord of the West, Ruler of the Underworld.
Oceanus: Salt Water, Rivers, and Lakes.
Koios: Resolve and Intelligence, Lord of the North.
Krios: Stars and Constellations, Lord of the South.
Rhea: Female Fertility, Motherhood, Generations, and the Queen of the Titans.
Tethys: Fresh Water and Streams.
Mnemosyne: Memory.
Themis: Divine Law and Customs.
Thea: Sight.
Phoebe: Prophecy and Intellect.
From here on out you are the rulers of the Earth. My daughters the Fates will announce the domains of any descendants that you have. As she finished and the Titans were ready to leave their was another voice that interrupted them. It was Ouranos and he was not happy, Know this Kronos I curse you to the same fate that you tried to deal me. Your children will overthrow you just as you have done me. This I swear to Lord Perseus and so it will be done. Just then Uriel appeared in the middle of the meeting having overheard Ouranos oath.
I would remind you Ouranos of the consequences of your oath today. It is not wise to swear upon Lord Perseus' name like that, you might not like the results, Uriel finished.
Ouranos nodded his understanding to the Angel of the Lord and made no move to take back the oath. Uriel nodded in return to Ouranos and spoke again this time to the rest of the room. Then by Lord Perseus will this will happen; however, this curse will only be on Kronos. I would recommend to you all not to swear upon Lord Perseus' name like this again unless you are willing to pay the consequences of not completing the oath. Having finished with his duties Uriel left just as he came. Ouranos seemed satisfied and left without another word to continue with the will of Lord Perseus of maintaining and monitoring his domain. The rest of the Primordials sat in shock of what had just happened before flashing out. Only Chronos remained to tell the Titans of what just happened. He told them of Lord Perseus and everything they knew of him from Angels to Archangels. He warned them of him and swearing upon his name could mean. The Titans took in all that he told them. Chronos left after explaining to them everything with the Titans following his lead and flashing to Mt. Orthys. The Titans built the palaces and throne room atop of Mt. Orthys and set about ruling the world.
AN: So another chapter down and hopefully another one on the way. I tried to make the domains of the Titans as close to Greek Mythology as possible while also flowing with the story. Thanks for reading.
