Thunder and lightning danced in the sky while many were asleep. The rain knocks on the windows harshly as the occupant in the room twists and turns on her bed as she takes air.

Gasps and small whimpers were traveling across the air in the room as Marinette revisited an old memory.

Six year old Marinette is tucked nice and comfy on her bed as her mother is holding her.

"Mama?"

"Yes?

"Papa said the role of the mira-miraculous is a big thing. And is and honor..." She rasps and continues.

"Mama, where did the miraculous come from?"

Sabine looks taken back but smiles and speaks in the utmost gentle tone.

"In the beginning, there was only Chaos.

Dense darkness covered everything until the Earth was born out of Chaos and the mountains, the sea, and then the sky (Uranus) with the sun, the moon and the stars. Then Uranus and Earth came together and gave birth to the Titans.

But, Uranus was afraid that one of his children would take his throne.

That is why he enclosed every one of them in the depths of the Earth. But his son, Cronus, the strongest of the Titans, defeated him and became leader.

He married Rhea, who gave birth to two gods and three goddesses: Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter...

But Kronos inherited his father's fear and believed one of his offsprings would rebel and take his throne.

So, when they were born, he swallowed them. However, Rhea was expecting a sixth child and fearing it would share the same fate with her other children, she secretly gave birth on a mountain in Crete and hid the newborn there.

She named the child Zeus. She also tricked Cronus into thinking he swallowed this child too, by giving him a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes, which Cronus swallowed thinking it was his newborn.

The Nymphs took care of Zeus and fed the baby with the milk of a goat. When he grew up, Zeus found his father and tricked him into drinking a mixture of wine and mustard, which caused him to disgorge the contents of his stomach.

Zeus' older brothers and sisters came out of Cronus fully grown! This is how the great Titanomachy began, the war between the Titans and the Gods, with Zeus as their leader.

This titanic battle lasted for ten years. The gods defeated the Titans and threw them into Tartarus, a dark and gloomy place as far from the earth as earth is from the sky. Then the gods fought with the Giants for the dominance of the world.

The Gigantomachy lasted a long time as well. But the gods were again victorious. Thus, Zeus became the ruler of the whole world and he and the other gods settled in Olympus."

Sabine paused and saw her daughter was still listening so she proceeded

"That was eons ago... and times have changed. But darkness was always behind no matter how bright and strong the light was. Good and evil cannot co-exist without the other.
