Hey guys you should feel honoured! Why? Well I'll tell you why! My mother thought that it'd be a great idea if she limited my time on my computer! I, honestly, don't agree and I'm guessing that neither do you guys. Right? Oh well, I really should be doing Spanish revision! Something to do with hay que and tengo que. What?! Nether mind I'll get it eventually! So now REVIEW RESPONSE TIME!

Nope, I'm a Libra. And dam, this Kronos doesn't sound like the same one that's called 'the Crooked one'. And what ARE you planning, hm? *suspicious glance*
Cool Libra just like my little brother! And really I think with age come innocence! And for the rest you'll just have to wait and see! *Madman smile*.

U should have Percy bring monsters to life that could become his servants or guardians. It should be extremely strong men with dog heads like Anubis. That would be bad ass.
I have to admit that I can't disagree. That would be pretty bad ass. I'll see if I can work that into my story. If not I might do a one-shot about it. Thanks for the idea!

Chapter Five: Kronos gets a new name.
Hours of screaming, agony, pain has now past. Silence filled the room. Silence; that hasn't filled to room in a while. A six year old boy rocked backwards and forwards on the balls of his feet in anticipation. This was the first time since he could remember his mother had gone into labour.
Several cries for breath rang through the temple. This was it, he was finally going to meet his new siblings.
He took off in a sprint. Golden eyes gleaming in excitement. Barging into the room where his mother layed. Scanning the room his eyes fell on the cots in the corner. As quietly as he could he made his way over, hoping not to wake his mother.
The boy leaned over the edge of one of the cots. A small baby with quite possibly a hundred arms looked back at him. The golden eyed boy looked into the bright blue eyes of the baby and reached his hand in. The baby grabbed it. The boy let out a squeal of delight.
His mother shot up in a start. She began to yell at him to get away from them. Almost as if she was expecting somebody else to come and harm the babies. She was.
Finally his mother got a proper look at who was in the room with her. She instantly regretted shouting. Springing up from where she layed, she wrapped the boy in a comforting hug. Whispering apologies as the young boy sobbed.
"Shhhhh Kronos I'm sorry," she let out a sigh. "I thought you were somebody else. Shhhhh." When sobs no longer racked his body gently she pushed him away from her, looking into his eyes, she forced a pained smile. She never wished for him to meet his brothers as she knew that they'd be snatched away from her. Just like the Cyclopes.
Kronos looked up at her a bright smile lighting up his features, the red rims of his eyes already fading. He took a deep breath and spoke, "It's okay mummy as long as you didn't mean it." His voice cracked from crying. As an afterthought the boy added something else. "Will Percy be visiting?"
Percy. His guardian angel. Oh how he strived to meet him again.
His mother let out a sigh. Percy. It was always Percy. "No. Kronos, no he won't be visiting." The boy's mother said the word no with so much force the boy flinched. Kronos opened his mouth to retaliate but a voice beat him to it.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that Gaea if I was you." A wind swept through out the room. Carrying the voice with it. A cloaked figure materialised in the corner of the room.
It was him.
He was back.
His guardian angel.
Gaea bit back a growl. No matter how much she despised him, she could see the way Kronos looked up at him. Kronos idealised Percy. And she hated it. An actual growl broke her out of her stupor.
Kronos leapt to his feet. He rushed towards Percy.
A growl stopped him in his tracks. Standing next to Percy were two hounds. One was as white as snow. The other, which was growling, was as black as night with lights illuminating it's body. Flickering on and off.
"Cosmos no," the hound stopped growling. Cosmos. He liked that name. "Cosmos, Universia sit." They obliged. Percy turned to where Kronos stood with a shocked look on his face. Percy winked. "How about that hug eh?"
Kronos continued his charge towards Percy. He was enveloped into a hug.
Gaea still sat where she was left in shock. This was impossible. Percy was a demon child. Demon child. It was impossible for him to care about anybody. Anybody. She was broken out of her musings when Kronos spoke up.
"What are you doing here?" Percy released him from the hug and looked at Kronos directly in the eyes.
"To save a sibling from a horrible end." Despite the fact that it was said as a response to Kronos' question. Gaea could tell the response was, in truth, aimed at her.
Nobody had the chance to respond. The sky turned red. A thunderous BOOM shock the temple. Gaea's face held fear. He was coming. No, no, no it's too soon no goodbyes either. Gaea looked up, tears began to form in her eyes. Mumbling reach her ears something about not enough time? She wasn't sure.
Hyperventilating now. She couldn't save them. She, she coul-
Strong hands grabbed her shoulders. Her breathing slowed down. Slowly she pried open her eyes. Staring back at her were the sea green eyes of her son, so similar yet so different from her own. The long scar that ran diagonally across his face before disappearing beneath his cloak. What pain had she caused him to endure?
His lips were moving. It seemed to take forever before the words finally reached her ears. For once her eyes held no detest, no hatred, no anger towards him. They held desperation.
"-only save one." She nodded yet she wasn't sure what she was agreeing to. It just felt right.
Percy gave her one last look. A look of pity before grabbing the only conscious child and disappearing in a gust of wind along with his hounds.
Kronos watched as Percy disappeared in a rush with one of his siblings. What's going on? He looked at his mother for reassurance yet he found none. She was merely staring at where she last say Percy with regret evident in her eyes.
The door swung open.
Gaea got up and grabbed Kronos in a rush.
A man entered the room. He had bright white hair with electrifying eyes. He was around seven feet tall, wearing a bright blue suit*.
He approached them.
A tornado began to form around him.
Kronos began to tremble in fear. His mother in anger.
The man turned to his mother. "WHERE ARE THEY?"
Kronos' mother responded with an equal amount of rage, "YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM!"
Slowly the man approached Gaea, reminding Kronos of an animal stalking it's pray.
"YOU DARE DEFY ME?! YOU DARE DEFY THE ONE WHO RULES ABOVE EVERYTHING?!"
The man's eyes fell on the cots in the corner of the room. A blood thirsty smile lit up his features as he made his way over to the cots. "ONLY TWO? I WAS TOLD THERE WAS THREE!"
Gaea needed to think fast. "WELL IF YOU WERE A BETTER FATHER YOU WOULD'VE KNOWN THAT ONE FADED AT BIRTH!"
Kronos watched the exchange between his mother and father? Yes father in fear and curiosity. Why was he so mad?
The man scoffed but brought the story anyway. "TWO WILL DO! TWO CAN STILL SUFFER!" The man picked the children up by the throats before stomping his foot. A large hole appeared beneath him. He throw them into the hole.
He vanished in a flash of light.
All was calm once again.
Gaea broke down. Tears freely fell from her eyes. She released Kronos from her grasp, before curling up into a ball. Gone. They were gone. Gone.
Kronos stared at his mother. No tears were shed. Not a sound left his mouth. It was the thoughts in which ran through his mind which would scare you.
What ways could he use kill that man – his father – decapitation maybe? Burning alive? Being ripped limp from limp? All the possibilities.
He would make him pay. Make him pay in the most painful way.
And so, the Crooked one was born.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd cut. All done! That's it whoop! So just quickly need to clear something up.
1* I'm not 100% sure what they'd wear so I put him in a suit.
Anyway I think you guessed who the man in the suit was right? No? Ah deal with it!
Can somebody please explain the 'these nuts' joke to me? I mean it's getting annoying 'coz somebody in my class keeps making the joke and I don't get it.'
Anyway that chapter was 1,261 words not counting the authors notes or the chapter title. So till next time.
Yours,
