The goddess wondered how best to transport them both quickly to earth again and looked at Cronus for help, he looked at her helplessly, he had no power, he was extremely weak and could offer her no assistance. The goddess thought to herself for a while, how was she going to transport them both back, it usually took years for her to travel and she did not know if he could live that long but then she thought that he was a god after all and he had at least one that believed in him, there was nothing she could do but hope he would live the long trip, if not she would just revive him again.

She told him they were leaving to the mortal world and he had to go to sleep with her, she told him she would put him into a deep sleep until they had reached their destination. She did not want him to be awake since she did not know how difficult the travel would be and it also was going to take a long time, it was best that he would sleep like her. She held him in her arms and closed her eyes, she concentrated on him sleeping soundly in her arms and after some time Cronus got tired, after a while he could not keep his eyes open any longer so he closed them and fell into a deep sleep. The goddess was happy, now all she had to do was to transport them back to the human world.

It took decades, but in all that time she and Cronus slept soundly but they finally reached the place the goddess had first arrived on, the place where her beloved was worshipped. After waking Cronus up she did not rest, the next step was to build the shrine back to its former glory. She again closed her eyes and thought of how his shrine had looked in its best days, it took little over a year, when she woke up the shrine was ready for humans to enter to worship Apollo. Cronus told her that they would need to wake everyone up as well so that it was best if she could build all the shrines of the god again, the goddess just looked at Cronus, she knew he wanted his loved ones back and since he had been of use to her she decided to grant his wish.

She closed her eyes yet again and imagined all old shrines and restored everyone of them to its former glory. The humans saw the shrines getting built slowly by no one and were afraid, thats when Cronus came and told them that the old gods had awoken and wanted to bless them all. All they had to do was to worship them and give them offerings, the more sincere the offering was the more likely the gods would hear their prayers.

No one remembered the old gods, they all worships new gods so with this delicate balance there would be a rift. More and more people turned to the old gods for help. Cronus told them they needed to be patient, and worship and give offerings every day, he could not grant any wishes to anyone at the moment, he needed their help to awake his friends and family again, he was desperate but still old and very cunning and could easily manipulate these humans. He told them to spread the word of the gods in every direction, it would please them and help them make their country flourish.

Both Cronus and the goddess did their job in reviving the old gods. As soon as the goddess had build every shrine to its perfection she focused on bringing the gods again back to life. The sparks was lit as soon as the humans started to believe, the desolate world of the gods was changing, at first there was only one molecule but it multiplied and grew just like it had done for Cronus but after the first molecule appeared others were made, and after a short time there were thousands and thousands of bodies being made, it did not take as long time to make all the gods again since for every human that believed another god was being made again, the goddess had help and she would soon be with the one she had longed for. The wait was almost over.

Next chapter she will finally meet Apollo, this is longer than i wanted it to be but I didn't want to rush it too much, this was just supposed to be a few extra chapters so it won't be long and it will end abruptly after you figure out why she is how she is, thank you for your patience, its been much harder to write after my dad died, the joy of writing has diminished and im waiting for it to come back since i so enjoyed it. Thank you all so much and happy new year ❤️
