Chapter 6:
Bitter Sweet Blood pt 2
The Titans have been released, Now hell would break loose on earth. I saw my mother Rhea walk towards me leaving Kronos behind her. She knelt beside me.
"Go, my son. Escape while you can. Kronos will not hurt me. He wouldn't dare go against me." She said softly. She never wanted to fight. She had made the mistake of choosing the Titans over her sons and daughters. The ones she never got to love because of this pointless war.
She wondered how her children were. She wanted to go with Zeus and see them but she knew that was impossible with Kronos around.
Zeus fled to the other gods just like his mother had told him. He saw his siblings and children fighting the beast. There were to many damned children. They must flee to survive. It was there only hope.
"Everyone, leave now. The Titans are released." Zeus yelled. The gods started to flee back to Olympus. Zeus fled himself.
Kronos was angry that his wife would let Zeus escape.
"How could you let him leave. You should have killed him." Kronos yelled. Some of the other Titans looked scared. No Titan would ever get on Kronos' bad side. The only Titan to ever be able to stand Kronos' wrath was his wife, Rhea.
"Don't raise your voice at me Kronos. This was your fault not our son's. If you hadn't decided on war, we wouldn't have been locked up in that cage. We would have been out if we had been kind to mankind." She responded. Kronos was furious but he knew Rhea was no Titan to be messed with.
"Being in that cage has clouded your judgement. You chose your side. You chose us. You faught your children that you claim to love." Kronos spat at his beautiful wife.
Rhea knew that it was mistake to choose her husband and siblings when they were in the wrong. The thing Kronos did not know was that more then half the Titans felt the same way as Rhea.
"Let us go back to our home. Mount Othrys." The Titans went back to their home before they were imprisioned in Mount Tartarus.
The gods were dressed in all black. One of their own had died. Hephaestus had died. His soul may be immortal and he will return but it was still a hard loss. Aphrodite was crying. She may not have loved him as a lover but none the less she loved him as family. All the gods would mourn the loss of an important god as Hephaestus. Now was a critical time. The Titans have been released and they were now plotting revenge.
The six original Olympians stayed behind while all the other gods except for Athena and Ares, left to their chambers to mourn.
"We must plan something. The Titans will come after us if they are not stopped we will die." Zeus said.
"So what must we do?" Poseidon said. He was close to Athena he didn't care that his siblings were near. They needed each other now.
"I was hoping that Athena and Ares would plan for war if it leads to that. Will you make plans for war?" Zeus said.
Both Athena and Ares nodded. Soon war would be waged on them and only the two war gods could lead them to victory.
"So do you know if mother will choose the same side again or will she finally choose the right side this time?" Hades said. Zeus was angry that Hades had not come to their aid when they needed it. Hera was more angry then Zeus because Hephaestus was her son.
"Don't speak anymore Hades. You don't want to anger Hera anymore." Hestia told her older brother.
"She is right. Now let us focus we need to know what to do." Demeter said.
"We will discus this tomorrow. I need to go to my chambers." Hera said leaving the gods.
They dispersed. Poseidon followed Athena to her chambers. They were quiet as they laid in her bed. Athena felt sadness. She had lost a brother. One that should not have been lost.
"What will we do now?" Poseidon asked his beautiful lover. For once as a goddess of warcraft and wisdom she had no answer.
"For once I have no answer." She responded. The Titans were no easy enemy that could be dispatched like a mortal in combat. They needed a plan and they needed one fast.
"Sleep. It will help you think. I will be here my love. I won't leave your sight." Poseidon whispered.
They did not know that they were being watched by Amphitrite. She was angry that Poseidon had left her for Athena. She wanted revenge. After all she was a daughter of Titan Oceanus. She had Titan blood in her. She made up her mind. She will go to her father and help the Titans destroy the gods. But she herself will take on Athena. The true war between the Gods and Titans had just begun.
I'm going to end it here for now. If you loved this story don't worry a sequal is already in the works. It will be called Dawn of War: Revenge of the Titans. Original I know lol. I want to thank my friend Liliana she helps me continue writing my stories.
