Chapter 2: Titans
The first generation of Titans were all in thrones of their own around their Mother, Gaia.
The titans in attendance were Kronos, Titan of Time and Agriculture. His eyes shined bright gold just like Chronos'.
Iapetus, Lord of the Underworld and Titan of the West.
Koios, Lord of the North and Titan of Farsight.
Krios, Lord of the South and Titan of Constellations.
Hyperion, Lord of Light and Titan of the East.
Mnemosyne, Lady of Remembrance and Titaness of Memory.
Oceanus, Father of the Waters and Titan of the Oceans.
Phoebe, Consort of Koios and Titaness of Mystery.
Rhea, Titaness of Motherhood and Earthly Matters.
Tethys, Consort of Oceanus and Titaness of the Seas.
Theia, Consort of Hyperion and Titaness of Splendour.
Themis, Lady of Conduct and Titaness of Divine Law and Justice.
Because all the Titans came from the union of Ouranos and Gaia they all had similar features like the green and black eyes, the black hair and facial features. The exception being for Kronos as he stood out from the rest with gold eyes and gold hair.
Their Mother had called her children to her secret palace that she made deep in the earth to escape from Ouranos. For months she had contemplated the future death of her Husband, and when Ananke told the council of the inevitable end of Ouranos and the new rulers of the world she knew immediately what to do, so she has gathered all her children together for one purpose.
"I have asked for you all to be here for one purpose. I want you to overthrow your Father. What he has done to your older Brothers is unforgivable and they must be avenged." She said to them all. All of her children had the same look of shock before Theia spoke first.
"Mother, what, what you're asking for is very dangerous, not to mention he is a Primordial God, how could we do this, would you be able to help us if we did?" She asked.
Gaia shook her head though and said. "There is a rule among the Primordials and that is were not allowed to kill each other but what I can do is give you a weapon to do this deed."
All her children contemplated what to do before Mnemosyne spoke up. "I'm sorry Mother but I'm not taking the chance of him finding out and sending me to Tartarus." Phoebe, Rhea, Theia, Tethys, Oceanus and Themis all nodded with her which made the others doubt if they could either.
Gaia frowned at this but couldn't hold it against her children, what she was asking was definitely dangerous, she could see the doubt in the eyes of Koios, Iapetus, Krios and Hyperion and was about to speak when Kronos spoke up.
"I will do it." He said with determination written all over his face. He knew what type of person his Father was and had no problem taking him out. Iapetus seeing Kronos accept accepted as well. It was well known that Kronos was the most powerful of the Titans and this was just the motivation he needed to join. When Iapetus accepted Koios, Krios and Hyperion accepted as well but none of the others did which was okay in Kronos' mind, he didn't need them for this as he knew that with a good plan and surprise attack they could take down their Father.
Gaia smiled warmly at her Son's bravery and rewarded him with a gift.
"I thank you and as you were the first to accept you will be given a gift to help." She said to Kronos.
She raised her hand from her armchair and with a wave of her hand a hole opened in front of Kronos and not a second later the ground rose up to the height of the arm of the chair. On top of the raised ground was a golden scythe. The Titans all looked at the weapon in awe as they could feel the power coming from it.
"Use this weapon Kronos, Use it and you will become the new King of the Cosmos." Gaia said to her Son.
Kronos raised his hand toward the Scythe and gripped it tightly as he felt the power in the weapon, he looked to his Mother and nodded to her and turned back to the scythe, not bothering to speak but to continue to stare at the powerful weapon in his hands.
"I will do this Mother." He said, he then turned to his Brothers.
"My brothers, we have a job to do." He said as a small sinister smirk appeared on his face.
The five Brothers waited til nightfall before they executed their plan.
In the palace in the sky Ouranos was sleeping with two beautiful women, all three naked from their previous activities unaware where of what was happening in that moment. The five titan's teleported to the edge of the flying palace. The palace was a castle on top of a mountain that reached to the floating ground. Ouranos was so sure of his safety he didn't have any guards and certainly no alarms that would alert Ouranos to any visitors.
With clear minds the Titan Brothers had received several images from Gaia of the whereabouts of the palace and the layout of the castle so they knew where he was most likely going to be.
They made their way into the castle quick and quiet until they reached the top and turned to left from the corridor to a door they knew that led to their Fathers room. They quietly opened the door and saw the three lying on the bed.
As Ouranos was a Primordial and first generation at that they needed to element of surprise but their Mother assured them if the Scythe cut into Ouranos he would be in too much pain to take on all five of them.
Kronos walked to the end of the bed and sneered at the look of peace on his Father's face before slowly waving his hand making the blanket roll down towards him. Kronos planned on taking his time with his Father and first he would take away one of the most important things to him. His cock.
He nodded to his Brothers as Koios walked to the North side of the bed, Iapetus walked to the West, Hyperion walked to the East and Krios walked to the South of the bed, standing next to Kronos.
Kronos gripped his weapon tightly before a swift slicing motion cut off his Fathers manhood. Ouranos' eyes snapped open as an agonized scream of pain left his wide open lips. His hands immediately went to the place of injury and looked up and noticed his Son handling what used to be his connected body part.
The two women had screamed at the sight and scrambled off straight out the door without a shred of clothing on. Iapetus grinned sadistically at the sight of the fear on their faces.
Kronos with disgust threw the manhood of his Father out the nearest window where it would fall into the ocean. Ouranos' eyes flashed with fury as he looked to his Son before looking around the room to see his other Sons restraining him, normally he could have fought them off but he was in too much pain. Kronos then cut into his thigh excruciatingly slow as Ouranos howled in pain.
The pain continued until Kronos had cut his Father into pieces before he clicked his fingers and several boxes made solely out of Celestial Bronze appeared and the five Brothers placed all the pieces into the boxes and planned to place them in different locations around the planet.
It was at this moment that two beings were being born into the world. In the palace of Ananke and Chronos Thalassa was on her back giving birth to her Son while her Husband sat beside her not really wanting to be there. Ananke and Chronos were on the other side of her offering words of encouragement. It was then that Pontus felt something in the ocean, something was happening in his ocean. Without a word to his wife he teleported to the location of what was happening but only saw foam, he didn't understand. He detected life but all he saw was foam, he waved his hand making the foam break apart and saw nothing there.
Pontus decided to just leave but he then saw the different parts of the foam move back together. Determined to find out what was happening Pontus waited, he waited for at least an hour before deciding to go back and just face his Wife's wrath.
He teleported back to the palace to see his Wife on the couch with a baby boy wrapped up in a blanket in her arms. She was just staring at him looking so happy, when he remembered that the child was her first. He remembered her wanting a child but he secretly had a few with Gaia that were in hiding and didn't want anymore.
He now knew that was a mistake as she now had a child with another man. It was now that Pontus wanted to have a child with her and he knew that a bond had been broken when he slept with Gaia and he didn't want to know what would happen to their relationship once Thalassa found out about his children with Gaia.
Thalassa would be mad about him having children with another women but she would be furious that another women had children with him first and she didn't even know about it. He now knew he may have messed up a perfect relationship that he was originally happy with but just got bored and found other ways to entertain himself.
Pontus then made up his mind to do the best he could at earning her forgiveness. He walked over to her to see Ananke and Chronos stiffen at his appearance and remained on guard as he stepped closer. Thalassa then froze as he was a couple of meters away, so focused on her Son she didn't feel another presence until it was so close to her.
She looked up and saw Pontus looking down at her, unconsciously she pulled her Son closer to her. She saw Pontus frown before he stepped closer and kissed her on the brow before teleporting away. Thalassa was immediately confused with what just happened, she figured he would be furious about the child but he didn't show any signs of anger just sort of defeated but with determination. Thalassa shook her head clearing her thoughts before turning back to her baby.
Pontus had just teleported to the location of the foam to see it moving towards the East. He decided to follow it and so it was five hours later that the foam eventually stopped at the beginning of a river. It just stopped, why though, what was at this location that made the mysterious foam stop. He stepped closer and was shocked to see the centre of the foam materialize into a baby girl.
He quickly propelled himself in the ocean till he reached the baby and picked her up. He looked around and noticed that he was on the edge of an island, the ocean behind him and the river in front of him when he felt the presence of Thalassa who just teleported there with her arms crossed.
"What are you doing Pontus?" She asked. He voice full of anger and confusion.
"I, ah." He stammered not sure how to start when Thalassa then noticed the baby.
"Who. Is. That." She said, clearly angry.
"This is ah, I don't know." He said and at the look of anger on her face he continued. "No I really don't know, it was why I teleported away earlier. I felt a different sort of presence in the ocean and I teleported to the location but all I saw was foam. After I left again I followed it here where it just stopped and" Pontus stopped midway through the sentence.
"What?" She asked.
But Pontus didn't say anything, he was thinking and then looking around. This was the intersection so to speak, the part where the river meets the ocean of this particular island. He knew what this meant, this child must have been made from his thoughts and his desires to have a child with his Wife. He turned to look at his wife with a big smile on his face.
He stepped towards her until he reached her, her face showing her confusion before he kneeled before her and knew he had to make their relationship work.
"Thalassa, my love. I am so sorry for the pain I have caused you, I have been so selfish, your right I did go behind your back and sleep with another women and I am so sorry for it. Not only did I deny you the chance to have a baby but I also went behind your back and had several with...her." He said, he noticed the hurt expression her face and her eyes tearing up before he continued quickly.
"I just didn't know what a great beauty and wonderful person you were until I was faced with the possibility that I might lose you and I don't want to lose you, it would kill me. When I looked at you before with, your son my heart broke as I saw you smile at him and I knew it should have been me sitting beside you with our firstborn, together."
"This baby, this is the product of my desire to have a child with you, I was so confused about the presence of the foam that I just eventually ignored it but when I knew I wanted to have that child with you I came back and saw the foam come here. In this spot, this is where the river and the ocean meet on this island, don't you see, you are the Primordial Goddess of Streams and Rivers and I am the Primordial God of the Ocean." He said smiling at her.
"I am so sorry for the pain I caused you, please just, don't leave me, give me another chance and I know I can make you happy." He finished, losing his smile but continued to look at her.
Thalassa looked at her husband and saw the look of determination, the same look she saw earlier and thought about what he had said. It was true, she was hurt by his neglect and his refusal to have any children with her and it hurt much worse when he revealed he had already sired a few with Gaia. She then looked towards the baby and noticed that it was a girl, she definitely wanted a girl, and a boy and now she had both but she stopped that thinking and looked back to Pontus. She stepped closer to him and gave him a mighty slap across the face.
Pontus looked depressed at this and just slumped his shoulders but then looked up when he felt hands touching his shoulders to see Thalassa smiling at him.
"You don't ever hurt me again, are we clear." She stated. Pontus' depressed face quickly changed to a grin and then pulled Thalassa to him and gave her a mighty kiss while managing to hold onto the baby.
Eventually they pulled away and Thalassa was then smiling at her new daughter and gestured towards her with her arms. Realizing what she wanted Pontus gave the baby to her Mother and saw his Wife cuddle the baby tightly. She then raised her head to her Husband and then said with a happy voice.
"Let's go show Ananke and Chronos." She said and Pontus nodded and took his wife in his arms and teleported to the palace. Ananke was holding the baby while Chronos watched them together when he saw Pontus and Thalassa and confusingly a baby in her arms.
Thalassa just walked to them and said. "Chronos, Ananke, this is our Daughter." Chronos' eyes widened and then turned to Ananke to see her smirking knowing she already knew, he rolled his eyes before turning back to the couple.
"What's her name?" He asked.
Thalassa then looked to Pontus and Chronos saw that they were speaking in their minds, a minute later Thalassa turned back to him and said with a smile on her face. "How does Aphrodite sound?" She asked.
Chronos smiled. "That's a beautiful name." What Chronos didn't know was that Ananke dropped that name as a suggestion to Thalassa if what she had in the first place was a girl.
Pontus then suddenly remembered the other baby in the room and asked with a small smile on his face. "Can I hold him?"
Chronos suddenly froze but Ananke was already walking to Pontus and gave the baby to him. Not wanting to call him the baby he asked what his name was.
"Chroneir" Ananke said. "Son of Time and God of Peace."
Hey sorry about the long update but this chapter just seemed to annoy the hell out of me and I couldn't get it written properly.
No the main character in this story is not Percy as I want him to be the main character when I reach the lightning thief story line and besides I have not read that many fics where a new character is the main character, especially as a god like in this story.
Again gives reviews on my writing as I would like to improve, thanks for reading!
