AN: Sorry took so long to update but I have been busy. Please check out the pairing poll on my page. The pairing will most likely have to wait till the sequel, especially if it is Artemis or Zoe. If it is Hestia or Calypso I will try to start it in this story and really get it going in the sequel.
Ch. 2
"Say hello to the newest addition to our family my brethren" the father started. " My wife has given birth to twins, Perseus and Eos. Our new son and daughter, the new son and daughter of Mount Othrys" The Titan Hyperion, Lord of light and Titan of the East shouted before the rest of the Titans joined in pleased that Theia had finally given birth.
All the Titans parted knowing from tradition that their king should be the first to examine the children. As Kronos walked down the aisle created he smiled at his brother who had been a nervous, overprotective, wreck since learning his wife was pregnant. The exact same thing he had done with the births of the Helios and Selene.
When Kronos reached his brother standing with a baby in each arm, he patted him on the back. Hyperion passed Perseus over first, as he was born first, to Kronos. Kronos closed his eyes and sent a silent prayer to the sisters of fates as he had done with the births of all new members of Othrys since he had become king.
Everyone in the courtyard saw their king close his eyes and became silent. Then a flash of dark orange that turned to purple and then a night sky blue appeared directly over Perseus's head. Perseus seemed pleased by this and reached out trying to grab the cloud. Once Perseus touched the cloud it condensed around his wrist and became a piece of parchment in the form of a wristband.
Kronos gently grabbed Perseus's wrist and examined the band. Then he lifted the baby over the podium by the arms (Kind of like in the Lion King) and proudly pronounced " I give to you Perseus God of dusk, break-ups, weapons, fighting, and ends". The members in the courtyard cheered knowing the dusk part but slightly shocked by the rest.
Kronos handed Perseus back over to Hyperion and took Eos. He closed his eyes again and sent another time a dark blue cloud that faded to a light purple then a light orange. Eos seemed even more excited than Perseus and stuck her hand straight into the cloud. The band materialized just like with Perseus and Kronos examined it.
Kronos did not seem suprised as he announced " I give you Eos goddess of dawn, peace, break-ups, and new beginnings". Everyone started to applause as Kronos handed Eos back to Hyperion. Instantly everyone went silent as three flashes of light appeared by Hyperion.
The three sisters of fate stepped out of the light and looked at the two children. "There is a war coming and these two are the key to the world's survival." Everyone seemed scared at this revelation.
"In five years time there shall come a fight
a war between dark and light, day and night
twins of twilight shall be thrown in the fray
each to attempt peace in their own way
one shall have to make of faith a leap
the other to fall into the deepest sleep"
The fates vanished once they finished delivering their prophecy. Kronos was the first to recover from the shocking news. "We still have time so for now we shall follow tradition and celebrate the newest members of Othrys. Let the party begin."
Kronos clapped his hands and tables appeared laden with plates of ambrosia and bowls of nectar. The Titans came to see the newborns one at a time. First Rhea who was soon followed be Oceanus and then his wife Tethys. Coeus followed his wife Phoebe who was thrilled to have a new niece and nephew. Mnemosyne looked at the twins for just a moment before remembering she had to meet someone. Themis was next and she cooed at the twins before Iapetus told her to hurry up. Iapetus loved the children he thought that his grandaughter would just love to be a mother but couldn't find the right boy to marry. This might be because her father threatened to kill any boy who even looked at her.
Atlas came next and stuck out his fingers. Eos gripped it and gently squeezed while waving her hands and laughing. Perseus on the other hand seemed to be aging before everyone's eyes his hair grew out slightly and he got a little bigger. He took Atlas's finger and put it straight into his mouth before biting down on it. Atlas yelped at the unexpected pain before yanking his fingers back. Eos started to cry at the lost of her new toy while Perseus started to laugh at Atlas. Atlas started to grow angry before he heard a beautiful laugh behind him.
He forgot his anger and turned to see his wife Pleione who was heavily pregnant with their 6th child. They planned to name her Zoe, Atlas hoped that the new twins would make good playmates for his daughter but now thought that Perseus may be too violent.
Pleione came up and the twins seemed to think something was funny. They did not stop giggling until she walked away. Apparently a baby's laughter is contagious as the next woman walked up she laughed a bright clear laugh. Calypso leaned down over the twins and got the same action with different results.
They both latched on to her long caramel-color hair which she had let out of a braid and put into curls. Perseus grabbed a curl and started twisting and playing with her hair but was gentle. Eos though grabbed on to a curl and yanked on it. Calypso jumped up and Perseus started to cry.
Perseus seemed to know that it was Eos's fault that Calypso was leaving. As Calypso started to walk away Perseus cried out and kicked at Eos. Eos started to cry and tried to get away but wouldn't kick back.
Theia walked up to see that her children were fighting and crying. She had restored some of her strength by eating a hefty amount of ambrosia and drinking a glass of nectar. She walked up and took her children from Hyperion before walking back inside to feed them and put them to bed.
Hyperion, happy that he could now join the party, took off to find his brothers.
LINE BREAK
It was late into the night and people were starting to leave the party. Hyperion and Kronos were sitting at a table talking about the new twins. "That boy of yours looks like he could grow up to be a heartbreaker. Maybe he might just be right for my Hestia or Demeter." Kronos said hoping to find a potential son-in-law.
"Don't get your hopes up. You know that Iapetus is trying to find someone for his granddaughters even if Atlas isn't." Hyperion said with a laugh.
"Well I guess we will find out eventually." Kronos said with a slight smirk thinking of ways to hook Perseus up with his daughter.
The brothers left the table and headed to their palaces to try and get some sleep.
LINE Break
Far away, deep underground where there earth has never seen any light, two extremely powerful beings strode into their palace in an extreme rage. They had just come from a dinner with their children.
"Why don't they understand they are supposed to listen to their parents and follow our instructions" shouted Nyx the primordial of night.
"We are older, we are stronger, we should have more time than them. We should have freedom to spread where we please not just be where they are not." Erebus primordial of darkness screamed.
They had just tried to get their children Aether and Hemera to allow them more time during the day. There children had protested vehemently. Then they threw their parents out of the palace as if they were simple intruders.
"Well we shall show them. We will take what we want by force if need be. They will have one chance to comply to our demands or else we will go to war and after our victory we will reign supreme. The world will never see the light of day again" Nyx screamed, so angry that spittle was flying. The look in her eyes scared Erebus and he was unsure of plunging the world into total darkness. He knew that nothing could live in total darkness but his wife's pride had been injured. He hoped to take a more peaceful route but knew better than to get in his wife's war path.
"Very well we shall prepare for war." Erebus said trying to calm his wife down. He prayed that his children were more sensible than his wife.
AN: Haha what do you think? Kronos didn't eat Hestia or Demeter. I figured if the prophecy said on of his sons would overthrow him he didn't have to worry about his daughters. again please vote on my poll for the pairing. Please review and let me know what you think of how I'm doing. Whoever can leave me the name of the member of the original 12 titans who did not visit the twins will have ch 3 dedicated to me. Please leave me OCs for my other story I desperately need some. Again please review.
