5 Years Later: Carolos's POV

"Carolos get your butt out of bed this instant." I heard mother yell from outside my door.

"Five more minutes mom" I whine from underneath my blankets. The next thing I know is my mother is dragging me out of my bed.

"Cal get up and get dressed this instant we are holding court today and your father insists that you be there."

I get up and stretch, "Yeah yeah mom give me a few minutes to get pretty and I'll be there."

Mom rolls her eyes at me and gives me a kiss on the cheek before leaving my room. I dress in my ice blue chiton, which matches my eyes, and put on my crown that marks me as a prince in my father's court. I walk to the throne room and I swear this place never fails to amaze me. The black marble columns hold up the whole structure and from the balcony you can see the garden where Atlas' daughters live. You can also see the massive World Pillar, which keeps the sky from embracing the earth. On the ceiling is a depiction of my father cutting up his father while his brothers hold on to him. As I make my way to my throne I notice just about all the important Titans are here and they have their children with them. All of my aunts and uncles are here along with their children and grandchildren. That's when I notice her, Leto. Leto is the most beautiful being ever, with her striking blue eyes and long silky auburn hair. Every time I try to talk to her my tongue grows thick and can only stutter out a jumbled racket. So in order to keep myself from being embarrassed, I make my way over to my uncle Iapetus, who taught me how to fight with my weapon of choice, a spear, because he is my favorite uncle.

"Uncle how are you?"

"I'm well Cal, how goes the search for a wife?" He asked in a teasing tone but loud enough to capture the attention of my other uncles and aunts who had to come give me a hard time.

"Yes Cal, have you still not found a woman to wed?" my aunt Theia asks.

"Or at least one to share your bed?" my uncle Hyperion teased which set all the males off laughing.

After getting my blush under control, "I'll have you all know" I start to say but was cut off by the arrival of my parents.

My father sits in his throne and turns his attention to our group, "Now let's get down to business, than we can tease Cal on his lack of bedroom action." This set the whole stupid room off and made me blush even harder. My mom slaps my dad upside the head, which makes their siblings laugh even harder.

I make my way to my throne and sit, "I am not married because apparently in this family you have to marry your sister and since I don't have any," I say in a joking way but the joyful mood seemed to just vanish from the elder Titans.

My father clears his throat, "Well let us begin."

I just sighed this council meetings take forever.

Rhea's POV:

I listen to my husband drone on and on about trivial matters, while the council just eats it up. I look over to my son and see that he is looking at some of the women assembled here. He takes the jesting well but I know he wants to be married, so he can please his father. Ever since he was a baby Cal always sought to please his father and Kronos was always supportive and attentive to his son. I could hardly believe that a man, who could so carelessly eat his eldest children, could actually be a good and loving father to a child. I notice Cal catches Leto's eyes and she smiles and him and my son immediately looks away with a huge blush on his face. I make a mental note to tease him later, he can enter any combat situation and not falter but make him talk to a girl and he crumbles into a scared little boy.

"Watch your eyes boy" I hear my nephew Atlas bellow.

"This boy just happens to be your prince, cousin" Cal snarls at him. I sigh this has been a never ending thing between these two. My son is an easy going man and generally gets along with everyone, but he absolutely loathes Atlas, and the feeling is mutual. Atlas was always Kronos' favorite before Cal came along. Kronos had taken Atlas under his wing and had groomed him to be his right hand, but that all changed when Kronos had his own son. It did not help matters that Iapetus, Atlas' father, was also close to Cal. And the final thing that divides Cal and Atlas is the fact that Cal is close friends with Atlas' daughters, the Hesperides and Calypso.

"That might be godling, but keep your eyes off my daughter." Atlas said making sure to make godling sound like the worst insult he could deliver.

"Well Titan" Cal spat the word, "Calypso is my friend and I will look at her if I want too."

Both men drew their weapons, "Enough both of you calm down now" I order.

Cal puts his spear away, "Of course mother" while Atlas puts his javelin away, "Of course my queen."

Kronos slams the hilt of his scythe on the ground to get everyone's attention, "I think a recess is in order so some of us may calm our tempers."

I walk over to my son and rub his shoulders, "You must try not to provoke him my son, Atlas does not take to challenges well" I say in my concerned mother voice.

"He started it mother" my son pouts in a way that I can't help but chuckle.

"Carolos come with me" Kronos says from a doorway to a balcony.

"Coming father" my son dutifully replies. Cal gives me a kiss on the forehead and joins his father on the balcony.

"Our young prince does not take well to insults does he?" Metis asks as she approaches me.

"He has a quick temper" I reply.

"Runs in the family" she jokes and we share a laugh.

She stops laughing and her face takes on a serious look, "My queen the task you have me working on will be ready to start tomorrow."

I nod my head, "Have you made all the preparations?"

"Yes my queen the new servant will arrive tomorrow."

I nod my head, "May the Fates be with us."

Carolos' POV:

I join my father on a balcony overlooking a vast territory.

"My son you must learn to control your temper" my father says without taking his eyes off the landscape.

"I know father, but Atlas just gets under my skin."

Dad smirks, "He resents you son you have everything that was once his."

I raise an eyebrow at my father which makes him chuckle.

"Think about it son, before your birth Atlas was my right hand. It was he who commanded my armies, the one I placed all my pride in."

I cannot believe my father thinks so highly of me.

"Why do you place so much pride in me father?"

My father turns to me and places his hands on my shoulders.

"My son you are a strong warrior, a loyal son no father could ask for a better son."

I am humbled by my father's words and the passion he places in them.

"Thank you father and I could not be any prouder than to be the only child of the great King Kronos and Queen Rhea."

My father smiles at me and heads back to the throne room, but he turns around at the door, "But I would not mind some grandchildren."

I let out an aggravated groan, "Come on dad not you too."

He just laughs and returns back to the throne room. I turn back to the landscape and just admire the view when I feel a hand placed on my shoulder.

"You seem to be in deep thought my son."

I smile up at my mother. My mother is a tall woman with chocolate brown eyes and long hair of the same color. Her skin is a beautiful pale color. I have the same color hair and the same skin tone as her. I also inherited several other features from her. The point I am trying to make is that I look more like my mother than I do my father.

"Just admiring the view mother."

"It is quite lovely isn't it?"

I nod my consent. "Is there something you need mother?"

She grabs my hand, "Yes my son, I want you to go with your uncle Oceanus when he returns to his kingdom today."

I raise an eyebrow at that. My father does not care much for my uncle Oceanus, since he would not help my father against their father, but my mother has a decent relationship with him.

"Of course mother but may I ask why?"

"He wants your advice on the expanding of his palace, and probably to get you take one of his daughters off his hands."

I laugh, "Of course mother, I'll leave when he does."

She smiles at me and kisses me on the cheek, "Know that I love you with all my heart my son, no matter what happens."

I raise an eyebrow at her wording but just shrug it off, "And I love you with my entire heart mother."

"Good my son, well I will see you in a few weeks" she says and flashes away leaving me alone on the balcony.

"Are you ready nephew?" My uncle Oceanus asks as he walks toward me arm in arm with his wife, my aunt, Tethys.

I smile at them, "Of course my lord, my lady."

Aunt Tethys smiles widely at me, "Who knows maybe we can get you to take one of our daughters off our hands."

"We only have three thousand" my uncle mutters.

I laugh at that, before we all flash to their palace under the seas.
