CHAPTER 5

( song suggested for the chap: blow me away by breaking Benjamin)

Path of destruction

It was the November of 1913. In one of the small farms located outside New York
the people of the house were ecstatic. Their family of three was soon gonna have a young new member. It had been peaceful for the whole year. The crops came out good. And the weather was always great. It was as if time was on their side.
"dinner is ready !"Amantha cried out from the kitchen. "dad ! Kairos! Come help me set the plates!"
"you should not be doing all this my dear. You bare my child. I cant have anything happening to the two of you. "Kairos protested as he entered the kitchen to help her set the plates.
"father is still working on the machine in the basement."
"oh that old goat. Never understands when he is old enough to stop all this machine work of his."
Kairos gave out a loud laugh at that. This woman never ceased to amuse him.
"yes dear. It seems he doesn't understand time at all." He replied with a gentle smile.
"oh shut up the two of you. What do you know of machines anyways? Whos gonna fix the tractors and the heater then huh? This old goat has to do all the work."
grumbled Karlos as he entered the kitchen.
Amantha had found Kairos near the farm about a year ago , collapsed and wounded. He claimed not to remember anything from before that night. They soon fell in love after that and decided to raise a family.
After dinner Kairos went out for a walk as he always did. Recently he was getting more and more anxious. It was almost time . He knew but he wanted to protect them none the less. These people had become everything to this immortal in such a short time.
Karlos never mentioned it but Kairos knew, that Karlos was a demigod. A son of Hephaestus maybe. He was good with machines and what required skilled hands. And he had the presence of a god despite being mortal.
but what worried him the most was what if the council had been watching over him till now only to kill his first mortal child as soon as he is born infront of his eyes?
would the gods steep so low? He had no doubt about it.
He was pretty sure the gods had already found him months ago too. Its impossible to hide the presence of a titan completely, let alone the titan lord. But what was taking them so long?
His last battle with the gods had been quite easy. But that was because they were not battle ready to face a titan so soon. Many from the council had not even attacked him. They were acting as subs. They would jump in at the right time to take him out. The gods didn't even use their respective powers . But maybe because they were inside a city and they wanted to keep the damage to a minimum. But things will be different this time around. There was open land stretching in all directions. Things were gonna get ugly soon. And all Kronos wanted was to keep his family safe.
His family. Everytime he thought of them that way it made him more determined to keep them alive and safe. All he could do was wait. For their arrival .

June 20th 1913.-

The summer solstice commenced . Zeus flashed in the last one in the throne room.
it was a big shocker for Zeus when he found out that Kronos still roamed the earth. Even though there had not been any incidents ever since the winter solstice, the titans could not be trusted. What if he was waiting in the dark to launch an attack on the Olympian council? Kronos could alone take the whole council. He had made that clear during the winter solstice. Prometheus's whereabouts were still a mystery. But he was a master of deception. That much was expected from his side.
Hermes had apparently just located the titan lord. And thus the meeting was important and on the right time too.
"gods and fellow goddesses . we have been at the edge of total annihilation for half a year now. And we don't know where the threat will come from. We must counter as soon as possible and get rid of this threat before it threatens our western civilization!"
There were murmurs of agreement throughout the council. They had seen, that after the law of thrones, how power less they were against a titan. For a titan they were as powerful as demigods maybe. And that was a great insult in itself.
"Hermes! State what you have found to the council"
"yes father. I have located the titan lord. Since roads and pathways come under my power i figured a titan of space and time would use a rift in space to travel. And so I followed that lead and discovered his whereabouts. He stays at a mortals home in a farm."
"huh . a perfect place for the titan lord" Ares grunted. But nobody laughed at his joke. For this was not time for jokes.
Hermes glared one last time before continuing." I have more critical news at hand father. Kronos has sired a mortal child!"
"what! A child of space and time? This child could be a threat to all of Olympus. It could unravel the mystery of the demigod body! Unacceptable! Such an existence needs to be erased immediately! Who knows how this this demititan will be like! For all we know it might even be immortal! This takes the utmost priority kill the mother before she gives birth. That is our priority. Poseidon! You shall divert the titan with me and Hades and Ares. While Dionysius and Athena will kill the mother and any other witnesses . Hera , my queen , you shall launch a sneak attack at the titan with the aid of Artemis , Apollo, Hermes and Hephaestus . Aphrodiety , if things get out of hand charm the titan lord and keep him occupied as long as possible ."

"any objections?! "the throne room stayed silent indicating that they had nothing to say against or for the decision .
"then its decided! We shall attack on the night before the winter solstice . till then prepare and pray to the creator that Kronos doesn't make his move before us! Meeting adjourned! "
the Olympians all took their leave but Zeus and Poseidon stayed in their thrones. Poseidon was still grieving about the loss of his last child. It was difficult for Poseidon to fall in love with mortals. And so his children were truly rare and one of a kind each one of them.
Zeus put his hands on his brothers shoulders and looked him in the eye. A mental note passed through the two of them showing that Zeus understood his loss. Poseidon took out a pen from his pocket .
"i was going to give this to the child. The sword of tides anaklusmos. But now i shall give it to Chiron so that he may give it to any child of mine in the future. "
with that Poseidon also vanished in a sea breeze from the throne room.
A marvellous gift, Zeus thought. A sword truely powerful. But symbols of power were different on a fundamental basis. As they were not just weapons . They were the personification of the immortals power. And so no two symbols of power were the same. And no other being than an immortal could summon one. After all it would form through your own flesh blood and bones and only an immortal could survive such an ordeal.
but now Zeus had to prepare . for the upcoming battle. He felt as though this battle was truly going to unleash hell on earth.

December 20th 1913 the night before the winter solstice –

It was quite in the house of the farmers . kronos knew the child will be born soon.
Amantha had been bed ridden for a few days now. And Karlos had been working on a machine which would apparently help the baby become strong in a short time.
it was a rainy night. With lots of rains and thunderstorms. It would have been a bizarre weather for any mortal. But it made kronos uneasy as if death was just behind the shut door of their house. Lightening flashed and thunder shook the house.
"Kairos , my husband , why do you look so pale? Its just a freak storm."
"I hope so too my dear, I hope so too."
"oi Kairos! Give Amantha some water! I will be there in a minute"

Kronos picked up the glass of water and helped his wife drink it. After setting the glass down he stroked his wife's face affectionately.
"you are a queen among mortals my love. A beauty among beauties. You belong in a palace of gold !"
"oh stop with the flattery you!" Amantha chided though her red cheeks gave off how happy and embarrassed she felt by his words.
"i love you more than anything my dear one. You showed me that my freedom is worth fighting for as long as you are here by my side"
"i know. I don't understand what you have been through and what you have been hiding from me my dear husband. But i will always be with you in your very own palace of gold" she pocked his chest at that pointing to his heart. Kronos didn't have the words anymore to say what he felt . he leaned in and gave his loving wife a gentle and sweet long kiss.
"yes you will dear. "he breathed out. Mortals were truely fascinating . and he loved her above all mortals and immortals alike.

It had been two hours since Amantha fell asleep laying on Kairos's chest . a loud crack of thunder woke Kronos with a start. His senses were on high alert now. He could feel their presence. They were here. The Olympians .
He gently put her down in the bed and walked out in the rain to greet his un called visitors.
Zeus stood there in the middle of the harvested fields with Poseidon and Ares by his side.
"what only three of you here ? you think you can win this way sons and grandson?"
"worry not about us father! For this is the end for you!" Zeus bellowed
the titan lords armour materialized upon him and his scythe formed in his right hands.
his eyes turned from gold to red. His muscles tensed.
He had no fear of things at this point. With only battle in mind he had but only a heightened sense of things.
Zeus made the first move as he transformed into a form of lightening . with a body made of electricity it would be impossible for any mortal to touch him as speed and reaction rate would greatly increase but this was not a problem for the titan lord.

Zeus zapped directly infront of the titan in the blink of an eye , his master bolt in hand , he held it like a dagger , ready to stab kronos in the face but kronos had forseen this and had the flat of his scythe ready to stop the strike! Sparks flew from the clash of the symbols of power. Kronos having the advantage in strength pushed Zeus back , and in a flash Ares took his fathers place in battle, with his huge double edged sword over his head ready to slice the titan lord in two.
kronos side stepped Ares's attack with ease but Poseidon was waiting for that. He thrust his hand out towards the titan lord forming a ball of water out of nowhere infront of his palm. The water quickly became a small dot of super heated and super pressurized liquid. It Poseidon made a fist out of his palm and punched the small dot of liquid. He sped towards kronos at unimaginable speeds and kronos could barely avoid it . it still grazed his temple , making ichor fall from the small wound.
"i see still bitter about your son Poseidon? "kronos mocked him. Poseidon couldn't control his rage anymore . he summoned his trident and started walking towards the titan lord. His each step shook the earth. Huge tornados formed behind him destroying the trees and vegetation around. Poseidon was surrounded in an ethereal green aura . suddenly he stooped walking and all the winds died out. The ground stopped trembling and the storm clouds cleared out revealing the starry night sky.
it felt just like the calm before a huge storm to the titan lord.
"no wonder they call you the stormbringer eh?" kronos mocked Poseidon again. Watching his rage, Zeus and Ares dared not to make a move in fear of getting in the line of fire of Poseidon .
Poseidon levelled his trident trident and then made a diagonal slash movement towards the titan lord , suddenly frozen pointed waves of ice roze from the ground and sped toward the titan , kronos slashed with his scythe at the ice and destroyed it but in the midst of the rubble Poseidon waited for the ambush and took advantage of the ice and attacked kronos jabbing his trident aimed straight for the titans heart. But Kronos spun to his right and avoided the attack. "too simple minded you are my son"kronos spoke out before ramming the butt of his scythe into the ground . a huge gust of wind pushed the three gods back several feet. Kronos got engulfed in a fiery red aura.
"come you gods "kronos taunted as he spun his scythe in his hand "i will use only 5% of my power and defeat you worthless gods! COME"
the three gods were startled to hear this but attacked together none the less.
Zeus in his lightening form was the first to reach the titan . he zapped right infront of the titan and slashed upward with his master bolt as if it were a sword , but the titan side stepped and evaded it with ease he spun the scythe in his hand leisurely as if he had all the time in the world. Though compared to the titans speed the gods were moving at slow motion. Kronos struck Zeus under the jaw with the butt of his scythe with so much force that it lifted Zeus off the ground already unconscious in mid air from the strike , only the whites of his eyes showing.
the second to reach Kronos was Poseidon , who didn't even get a chance to defend himself before the titan lords scythe's butt hit him straight in the middle of his temple lifting him off the ground too. Kronos spun his scythe and hit Ares with the butt of his scythe in the stomach, while Zeus and Poseidon were still in the air unconscious , with so much force that a blast of wind escaped the back of Ares opposite to the point of contact of the scythe . Kronos quickly vanished and reappeared behind Poseidon and struck him in the back with a rising knee while Poseidon was still in the air , causing ichor to gush out of his mouth .
the titan lord raised his leg high above Poseidon's face and dropped kicked him in the ground with so much force that it formed a crater in the ground . kronos quickly vanished and reappeared infront of Zeus , still in the air, and punched him in the gut with all his might making Zeus spurt out godly blood , as a blast of wind escaped from Zeus's back from opposite the point of impact.
while still his fist connected to Zeus's stomach kronos whispered in Zeus's ears
"done over in 2.356432 seconds you godly scumbags"
As if at once every thing came back to normal speed and Ares was blasted away , who flew and crashed into the farm shed next to the house and passed out cold.
Zeus flew ahead into the harvested farm fields and crashed into the ground like a speeding jet and he too passed out due to the sheer power in the strike.

"KAIROS !" kronos turned around to the entrance of the house to find Karlos standing in the doorway. He looked pale for some reason.
"Father ! what is the matter?"Kronos dropped his scythe and quickly rushed to karlos who fell into his arm. Blood gushing out of his back . the sound of robots and machines attacking in the house could be heard.
"they have her ! they- have- her!" karlos weesed out before he succumbed to his death due to the deep gash in the back. Kronos couldn't stop the tears from coming out. This man had been a better father than oranus could ever be to him.
He set him down gently and quickly rushed into the house afraid that his wife might be dead and his unborn child! Who could dare to do such a thing? Karlos's defence machines were state of the art. Able to keep away even the most dangerous enemy.
kronos soon found his answer as he saw Athena finish off the last of the machines . next to Athena stood Dionysius with a knife in his hand , blood dripping from it.
"your wife, was a beauty "Dionysius stated with a wicked smile.
And kronos lost it. What he feared the most finally happened. Even though he knew this will happen he still couldn't bare it .
he let out an ear piercing scream , his body surrounded in an intense fiery red aura , so intense that it blew away Athena and Dionysius out of the house .
it knocked off hera Artemis and Apollo from their feet outside as they tried to tend to the fallen gods. Hephaestus disappeared with the dead body of his son. Aphrodiety was able to wistand the brute force but it was impossible for her to get near the titan.
In his roar of grief Kronos didn't notice the figure forming in the shadow behind his back.
Hades stepped out of the shadow and stabbed the Titan lord in the back piercing his heart. Golden Ichor started to flow out of the gash as Hades twisted the sword and pulled it out.
As Kronos fell, his body started to disintegrate and his essence started to return back to tartarus, he whispered his final words in Hades's ear
"brick by brick i promise . i will tear you Olympians down brick by brick for how you rejected my offer of peace and destroyed my family. Remember my words well son.
BRICK BY BRICK I WILL TEAR YOU MIGHTY OLYMPIANS DOWN!" the titan bellowed as the last of his essence reached and was re bound to tartarus.
The Olympians won the battle . But they lost the war.
The battle was over as quickly as it began.
Zeus awarded all the gods for helping in the defeat of the titan and the unborn demititan but the words of the titan lord haunted all the Olympians . not soon after that the oracle issued the first great prophesy and how the titans words looked even more true then. It drove Zeus into paranoia and he made many bad choices and mistakes since then to pile on on the disaster of the night of the winter solstice of 1913

3 HOURS AFTER THE BATTLE WITH THE TITAN

Amantha's house was covered in an eerie silence . one which it never had before. But this silence was broken by the sound of a being walking in the house.
Prometheus had witnessed the whole battle from the shadows and now had come to confirm something . He knew this day would come and thus in secret , anonymously he had helped Karlos build a bunker which would hide Amantha's and the new born's presence. He walked down the basement following the trail of blood left by karlos in the backyard. He found the bunker and opened it.
The house was quickly filled with the cries of a new born . The cries made the silent birds outside the farm sing in joy.
Amantha was on her last breath , as she whispered to the new born boy
"sweet Davis , don't cry. Mother is here with you she will always live with you in your palace of gold . Don't cry my sweet child . don't cry."

As amantha's soul departed from her body , Prometheus hid her soul so as she could avoid the unfair judgement of the underworld for giving birth to the younling. It would also alert the gods about the boys existence . He would secretly drop her in Elysium when he could. He gently picked up the child from her late mother's hand.
kronos was right , thought Prometheus , she truly was a queen among women. She died giving birth to the young one.

As Prometheus lifted up the boy, he stopped his crying and opened his large eyes and stared at Prometheus in wonder.
"YOU SON WILL BE THE TURNIG POINT OF THE HISTORY OF THIS WORLD. Hmm Davis. A strong name. It suits you. YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS THE DESTROYER OF GODS. BORN OF TIME AND SPACE . SON OF KRONOS . THE FIRST DEMITITAN !
YOU SHALL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE GREATEST OF ALL THE HALF BLOODS TO EVER LIVE . FROM HERE ON YOU WILL BE KNOWN AS TITANIA DAVIS .

I shall take you in and hide you from the world . from the gods and titans all the same for your existence is too precious . " Prometheus said to the boy as they walked out of the house of the house .The sun slowly rose above their heads . The little boy looked at the sky in wonder, unaware of how powerful and important he will become with time . But for now ,all the young boy's red eyes reflected, was innocence.

WELL THATS THE END OF THE BIRTH ARC. PLEASE REVIEW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUIRES OR SUGGESTIONS . I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER THEM.
