Borne From The Storm [Creating Greek Myths]

Prologue

[A/N: Nothing much to say except this is about Greek myths. I am just going to add my own gods inside the original story into our modern world and hopefully please understand that my grammar may be very bad. If you find this story promising, please vote and support me but after that well, nothing much left to say.]

The Start Of The Golden Age:

"Kronos, my dear child, you have done what a son of the Earth Mother should do. Perhaps beyond. You had done so much more," Gaia beamed at Kronos,"I did told Ouranos time and time again to respect you for whom you guys are. But he don't listen did he? A messy end is truly what he deserve. A fitting end for someone who look down on others. He thinks that you guys are helpless against him. He thought that he was the greatest. But he forgots that he is my son and I know what his weaknesses are." Kronos smirked with his brothers, the scythe gleamed blood-red wickedly in the moonlight beside him. "It was no trouble, mother, you do not need to shower me with those flattering praises. However, we have certain logistics issue right here on this very land itself. Now, how are we going to clean up after our mess?"

"My boy, you are still young and you have much to learn. Let this be another lesson. No gods clean up their mess. They get someone else to do so. And in this case, that someone, will be those nymphs spawned from the blood of your dastardly father," Gaia smiled, gesturing at a group of girls huddled together, seemingly terrified," You have done me a huge favor despite the risks involved," Gaia tilted her head as if wondering a distant possibility. "As a mother, I think that a reward should be in order for my brave child. Let's see... Of course. I shall name you the Titan Lord, Lord of Time and the Universe. Do not be shy.  You have earned every right to be a ruler. Come. Lie down with me and watch the star's first night without the sky."
Kronos' face betrayed no emotions though for a second but his eyes turned red and he did clenched his fists. But those signs were quickly dispelled within a fraction of a second and on was a smirk for his face that was flushed from his recent victory. He gestured for his mother to wait a moment before leading his brothers to a secluded spot away from their mother's earshot.
"You should all know what to do next, all of you" Kronos paced the ground before the assembled titans. "The end of the sky is only the appetizer. I looked forward to our next... delicious course. We demand total rule not rule under those burden eyes of our mother." All of them smirked and stifled their glee as they recounted what they had done to their father earlier. Only Iapetus was hesitant. "Brother... I mean my lord, what about our Father's curse? Will you not be careful about tempting our fate? Are you not worried? Should we put a halt and postpone our next idea? It may be a bit too much for one day" Iapetus asked tentatively.
Kronos snarled, his golden eyes flashed red "Do NOT mention our father again. He is no father of mine. If he is yours, leave now. We do not need his son in our presence. I had laboured for centuries. Oh those long years. I had scrimped and scraped waiting for a prefect opportunity. The plans that I had tailored together while locked in the cold dungeon after serving that dog with all that I had. I put the idea of binding those wretch cyclops and throwing them into the deepest abyss in the world into that dog's brain and when something bad occurred to him, I manipulated those thoughts to shoulder the blames and direct his displeasure on the cyclops. He deserved the end he got. It was only fitting. As for his curse, I do not care less. The curse will probably be gone now he is dead."
Iapetus however knew better that Ouranos will never die being eternal but he know that the best was to keep his mouth shut. Defiance will only earn him disapproval from Gaia now that Kronos was Gaia's favorite child. He is very certain that Kronos will not hesitate to give him the sentence of death by that horrible scythe after witnessing the murder that Kronos had schemed. The murder of his father. His own father.
"If there is no more objections, get into your positions." Kronos sneered before he hide his scythe from their sight,"I shall attend to our mother for now. Remember this time is on MY count not our mother's."

"Aren't they beautiful my son?" Gaia asked with a laugh that sounds like a breeze rustling through the meadows. They had already spent nearly an hour lying together star gazing at the stars without fearing the Sky's wrath.
"I know Mother, their beauty is not marred anymore by Ouranos. Say mother, will you follow me for a moment? I have a surprise for you." Kronos grinned innocently at his mother.
Gaia laughed before kissing Kronos' forehead. "Of course my dear. Come on, tell me what is the surprise?"
Kronos smiled. "Won't a surprise be none if I tell you? But I swear there is going to be a spiffing surprise and a treat."
"Fair enough." Gaia beamed as she smooth the wrinkles of her robes before following her son.
A few moments of walking silently on the land, gave way to crystal white beach where moored there, was a small but elegant boat encrusted in the different types of jewels that the ground can possibly yield. Kronos gave his mother a hand before clambering on board as well.
The ship immediately sat sail into the dark waters silently with the exception of the sound of the waves lapping gently on the sides of the boat. At some point of the journey, Kronos casted a sedative spell to lull Gaia into a gentle slumber as Kronos directed the boat towards a small icicle alcove where it entered a small area where a magical sphere of water hovered in mid air. Kronos smirked and pushed the boat towards the floating blue orb. Once inside, he signalled for his brothers. Together, they levitated Gaia into the sphere of water where her robes and hair spread out eerily as she was suspended in the water, unaffected by gravity. Then they proceeded to chain their mother securely to icicles with magical chains that they had cast all the same binding spells and curses that had prevented their father from escaping before proceeding with their ceremony.
For a moment Gaia was confused when she woke up. "Where am I?" She asked her son Kronos who smirked. "Why mother, this is the land of ice. Where everything here is made from water. None of each inch here is made from earthy substance." Kronos roared with laughter and waited for the monstrous noise to subside before continuing," Or so, to put in layman terms, there is no land to begin with". He produced the scythe that was hidden in his robes a second ago and approached his mother menacingly. That was then when realization dawned on Gaia. "You cannot kill me you fools! I am eternal. Stop this madness immediately!"
Kronos laughed. "You are eternal we know but unfortunately, I am already one step ahead of you. While you slept, my brothers and I gathered our magic and the most poisonous of desires and thoughts into the chains that bind and weaken you. Like what you trained us to do on our father. Even the water is cursed, as an additional precaution. Oceanus personally assured me. You cannot escape from those chains, Mother, maybe you will still be eternal even if you wear the chains but you can be destroyed utterly with this fine scythe and it is far too late to stop."
"NO! If you destroy me, land will not be able to exist again! Land is my body! If you destroy me, land will be gone as well! You will not have anyone left to serve you!" Gaia cried. "The sky is still there. The stars are still there. There is still a place where Hemera can rise through the night sky. The only absence is the sky God. You see now, how your research had actually benefited both parties? For that we will thank you. I must say 2 primordial immortals dead will keep Tatarus busy for a long time, mother. Goodbye and fare well. Oh and I did promise you a treat did I not? Well, enjoy your death. After all, it did came as a surprise did it not? Thank you for naming me the lord, mother." Kronos sneered before slashing his scythe across his mother's chest.
Faraway, they heard a cracking sound reverberating through the earth as the Earth responded to the Earth mother's pain. Plumes of golden inchor drifted into the water from Gaia's wound as she screamed and trashed in agony. The whole earth shook and shudder as the Earth mother slowly started to fade. The Titans knew better than releasing the chains. They knew that the earth mother will never die but she can be spread until she cannot form a conscience again. Grasping the last shreds of consciousness, Gaia focused her last remaining energy on her curse ," All of you shall hear the words of Gaia. My last child shall bring forth death on all of the Titans who played apart in my death. You shall feel my pain and wish you never tried to kill me! All of you...will...pay... for... your...atrocious...deeds..." The 5 Titans did not hear the words being too drunk in their victory as they cast their spells that disperse Gaia totally and banish her into the atmosphere. Years later, Aphrodite rose from the sea from the Titan's father's severed body after Ouranos' curse came true and the Titans were overthrown by Kronos children, the gods. But unknown to them, a new God was forming. He had not had the chance to form a conscience as he and his mother was dispersed into the air. But slowly, his conscience begin to gather just like water vapor condensing and gathering to form clouds.
Titans, beware, the last child of Ouranos and Gaia is ascending.
