The Unknown

Chapter 26

She quickly hid her expression hoping no one would see it. "What cat's got your tongue?" Kronos asked. "No, but I do have a question: do you remember that song your mother would sing? Do any primordials or titans remember?" Nova asked her eyes, scanning them.

"Nova what are you doing?" Caleb whispered into her ear. "Just let me do something?" Nova whispered back. "What are you talking about?" Erebus asked. "Surely you remember, especially you Eerbrus, I sang it to Chaos, Chaos sang it to you, though only a woman could ever learn it." They are still confused. "I mean do the gods even hear, I did teach it to Rhea." The gods knew exactly what she was talking about they heard while still growing in the womb. It brought back memories.

"I mean the gods remember why don't I remind you," Nova said before mumbling "and maybe my children shall help you remember." Her body began to glow as she sang.

"Where the North wind meets the sea

There's a river full of memory,

Sleep, my darling, safe and sound

For in this river, all is found

In her waters, deep and true

Lie the answers and a path for you

Dive down deep into her sound

But not too far or you'll be drowned

Yes, she will sing to those who'll hear

And in her song, all magic flows

But can you brave what you most fear?

Can you face what the river knows?

Where the North wind meets the sea

There's a mother full of memory

Come, my darling, homeward bound

When all is lost, then all is found"

While she sang, Chaos and Order had flashed in upon hearing their mother sing; it had been eons since they heard it. When Nova was done singing she stopped glowing her face growing stern as she saw Kronos less flicker between bronze and shining gold.

"Did that help you remember, it's been a while since that song was heard. I remember the first time I sang it, it made my children fall asleep fast, isn't that right Void?"

"Mother, what are you talking about? Void is not here, he's on business on another planet." Order asked. "My dear daughter, that is where you are wrong, he is here, he is the cause for this war, he brainwashed, threatened your children, Chaos too." Nova turned back to the army. Her eyes are dead on Kronos.

"Hư không, thả Kronos ra, bạn sẽ không phải đối mặt với mẹ ruột của mình. tôi chỉ muốn nói chuyện thôi." (Void, release Kronos, will you not face your own mother. I just want to talk.) It was Void and Nova's special language, a language she made and spread to one part of earth just for her son, so they could have private conversations.

"Có gì để nói, tôi đã bắt đầu một cuộc chiến. Tôi là đứa con giữa, tôi đã bị bỏ rơi, bởi ngay cả những người anh em ruột thịt của tôi.(What's there to talk about, I've started a war. i'm the middle child, I was forgotten left out, by even my own siblings.)" Kronos replied. Chaos and Order's eyes widened; they recognized the language one Kronos should not know.

"Void hãy cho tôi xem hình dạng thật của cậu, chỉ cần nói chuyện với tôi, chúng ta có thể đến chỗ cũ, cách đây không xa. (Void show me your true form, just talk to me we can go to our old spot it is not far from here.)" Nova replied slowly, walking towards Kronos' body.

"Fine." Kronos began to glow a mist swirled from his body forming just 3 feet from Nova. Kronos stumbled back, his eyes shooting around the field, confused on how he got there. He finally landed on the man in front of Nova.

It was a young man in his early 20's. He had short pitch black hair, With strands of white going through them. He had a deep chestnut skin tone. His muscles bulged against this balck t- shirt. He had black cargo pants and a flannel shirt. One of his eyes was deep blak while the other was snow white. His facial features are similar to Nova, with a strong jawline with soft but hard eyes.

This was VOID.
