The Legend

In many pieces of literature there are mentions of beings who stood as tall as the mountains. Their strength was strong enough to move the Earth. They were the titans. A gift from the Gods above. To many, they were deities. A being who was so powerful that they were worshiped like Gods. They were romanticized and often feared for their immense strength. However, what remained the truth is that Titans did exist.

Titans walked the Earth thousands upon thousands of years ago. They lived peaceful on a land known as the Land of the Titans. Although they looked like humans, they were far from it. People were warned about going to the island to see the beings themselves.

Records shows encounters of the Titans with normal humans. They were described as appearing like normal people. There was nothing strange about them. They ran a normal society much like normal humans do.

In one legend, it states that a group of titans desired nothing more than to walk among the humans. They wanted to try anything in order to be able to live among the humans. They travelled the seas in search of a way to be able to give themselves the body they desired. They found a witch who was willing to make them an offer. In order to be able to obtain the bodies that they wanted they had to make the agreement to retain their purity and be free of sin. If they were to falter in anyway shape or form, then not only they would become the monster that they truly were then the rest of their people.

The individuals were granted with the appearance of normal humans and were able to live among the people. However, they soon fell to their temptations and desires. They were wanting to stop at nothing to get what they wanted, breaking the vow that they had once took. In response they were cursed along with the rest of the titans.

The titans began to take shape and form of horrifying creatures. Their skin melted to reveal the muscles underneath, bones covered their skin, long sharp claws and teeth. They were monsters as many succumbed to mindless creatures and tore their fellow titans apart. Chaos strewn as many fought to find the cause of the curse as others were fighting to survive. Many had lost their lives in a great battle. The Land of the Titans was no longer peaceful as the slaughter had begun.

Many who retained their sanity pleaded and cried out for help to lift the curse. Their calls were answered by the very witch who had placed the curse on them. She told them to find the ones who were the reason for their shapes and form. Once they were found she made it their decision as to what would be done to them. She offered them three choices. One was to let them live and revert back to normal. The second choice was to kill them for their crimes and remain the forms that they were in. However, she offered a third choice. She did not inform them of the choice but only told them that it was an option. They were left to figure out the third choice for themselves when the time came.

The hunt was on for the individuals. When they were all gathered, the witch stood before them and waited for the decision. Many cried out to kill them for the curse. They didn't care that they would not revert back, believing that the witch was telling lies or that they would find another way. Others cried to let them live in order to return to their normal lives. However, there were those who thought differently. They agreed that what was done was inexcusable and punishment was necessary. However, they believed that death was not an option. It was decided through the powers of persuasion that the individuals who had brought the curse onto them, were to live. However, their actions were deemed punishable. They were to be exiled and to live a life away from Rhea and never return.

The witch was very satisfied with the decision. Although they had caused the curse, the individuals never committed any major sins. To their dismay, everyone believed them to only be human. The witch granted the titans with what they wanted however, the curse would remain. They neither let the live among the people, nor let them die for their crimes. It was decision that prompted the witch to alter the titans.

The titans retained a physical human form with the ability to transform to their natural titan selves. The curse would remain, allowing them to be granted with monstrous powers. The witch made it their decision as to what they were to do from here. If they were to fall to their monstrous selves then the curse would take over, turning them in to the true monsters that they are. However, if they were able to retain themselves and harness their powers then they would be able to live just as they desire.

A kingdom was established to maintain order. This became known as the kingdom of Rhea. They were to live in peace and harmony just as they had done so before. However, many fell victim to the curse. Those who did were detained and dealt with by any means necessary.

The titans had come to terms with the curse that resides within them. Bloodlines began to form as generations upon generations held onto the same powers. The abilities were passed down to each new generation. Some abilities were mixed and altered with other bloodlines. While some generation retained to many types of abilities.

Due to the dwindled numbers, travellers began to grow curious of the once prosperous land. Many began to take settlement and began to live among the newly formed titans. Humans and titans began to live in peace. There were less who would fall to the curse as humans began to start families with titans.
