Monsters and Cyclopes were clashing weapons against each other. Many were killed. Blood covered weapons of those who have fallen lay scattered in the ground. Many continued to fight till the end.
"This ends now, Briares!" A warrior clad in black armor exclaims!
"I couldn't have agreed more, Cronus!" Briares exclaims back.
Both sides seized fighting and only Cronus and Briares were left facing each other as the others watched from the sides. Rhea watched from the balcony of the palace away from where the crowd was watching. Cronus summoned his weapon while Briares flexed all of his one hundred arms.
Suddenly, the two simultaneously clash and the fight begins! Cronus slashes Briares with his blade as Briares repeatedly tries to punch Cronus with his hands. Both are giving their all, but neither is willing to give up or lose. The scene was too much for Rhea. The others cheered for their side.
"You were always Mother's Little Boy, Little Brother!" Briares taunted Cronus as he strikes.
"You were always the Black Sheep of the family." Cronus taunts and strikes back.
"You Titans and your flawlessness." Briares taunts with a grin, "you were born in the likeness of our parents. Meanwhile, the rest of us were disappointments. Even when you killed our father because of his poor judgment, you took over the throne of Mt. Othrys and left us here in the pits of Tartarus to rot. Did you not care of your flawed brethren?"
"Oh we did care, brother." Cronus replied, "However, you were blinded with jealousy once you heard that I took the throne that you stroke first and started all of this without having second thought of the consequences!"
And with that, he strikes at Briares causing both of them to crash near the palace were Rhea was. The impact shocked her. However, Briares and Cronus kept on fighting.
"And you would never care about the pain I had to go to just to avenged my siblings!" Cronus continued.
"Yes." Briares agreed sarcastically, "But did you ever care how your actions could affect you other siblings? Especially your long-lost sister?" He asks as he gestures to a frightened Rhea.
Cronus could sense the fear in Rhea's eyes and he was full of worry and concern. He does not want the sister he lost before encounter the same mistake he made years ago.
Suddenly, Rhea passed out and starts to fall from the balcony!
"Rhea!" Cronus screamed giving Briares the final blow before darting to Rhea's rescue and catching her in his arms. He touched her forehead and was relieved that she's okay.
"Bravo, Little Brother." Briares says mockingly. "You just gave her another reason to hate you even more."
Cronus other Titan siblings came to help him, but he stops them and says, "Fallback. Tell the troops to retreat. This isn't over Briares."
" I know it isn't." Briares replies with a grin, " The next time we fight, it will end at Mt. Othrys."
With those final words, Cronus left to retreat with his troops while carrying an unconscious Rhea in his arms.
