The Forgotten Titan ✔️

8.The story behind the war

War is really fond of Europe.

It all started when Rome become successful. Helios, the official Titan of the Sun, had just faded. This was because the Romans saw Apollo as their Sun God.

Anyways, this isn't about the hsitory of sun gods. The Romans started perfecting the Olympians personalities as they saw them as imperfect. Basically, this was the time when Zeus became Jupiter and Poseidon to Neptune. But the Romans were having trouble perfecting Exodus.

The existence of Exodus was a closely guarded secret among the emperors and his advisers. The Titan himself had made sure of that. He didn't want to change but the Roman's wanted everything Greek, gone.

For some reason which is unknown, the Romans were having trouble perfecting Exodus. He was just too good. Helping demigods and gods anonymously. Giving blessings and new powers to different people, still anonymously. Even going as far as to bring wonders to the world.

But one sneaky Roman by the name of Gaius Julius Vindex- a rebel- found out about the Titan and a little outbreak (which was hardly little) that happened between Exodus and Hephaestus. Gaius visited  emperor Augustus, used this information to blackmail him. Augustus then gave Gaius the job of renaming the god.

He based his answer on that one incident between Exodus and Hephaestus, including the war. So after a long thought, he decided to name the titan Trigon, Titan of Unnatural Power, Evil and Darkly Creation.

So that's how a new war started. The gods started changing slowly but surely to their Roman equivalent. After all Rome wasn't built in a day. The gods changed becoming more vigilant, more determined, more warlike.They didn't mingle so much with us mortals. They were harsher, more powerful.

Jupiter became more in command. He commanded the twelve Roman legions when they needed help the most but that was later when Rome was destroyed.

Exodus, he didn't do so well. See, people believed Athena was the most Greek-est but they were wrong. How would you feel if your one personality was evil and the other was good? You'd be ripped between worlds. Exodus flew around in a daze, trying to fight his evil side. Rumours were spreading between gods, monsters, nymphs and satyrs/fauns. The Titan was not doing well.

The nature spirits and gods were trying to comfort him and encourage him to accept the change but it wasn't working. Finally Exodus came up with a plan. He was to travel to a secret island where he would hide from everybody on Earth.

Naturally that didn't work. Travelling to an island that is miles away dazed meant he could be ambushed pretty easily. Secondly, flying for many miles took up a lot of energy even for a titan. Never the less he started his journey.

To be honest, he didn't make it far before falling. He dropped like a rock. His appearance changed as he fell. He became as pale as Hades. His natural black hair turned to a cloudy, unnatural white. He hit the ground with enough force to make a crater.

A couple of days later, Mercury found him. He inspected the damage. His body was deadly thin. His bones poked through his skin . One would think that he died from starvation and dehydration but right at that moment he let out a gag. Mercury picked Exodus up and flew him straight to Olympus.

When they got there Jupiter was busy shouting at Mars. It went something like this:

"We don't need more war! I, Mars, have seen to it that Rome into the greatest empire!"

"We need to conquer our enemies! We could be greater if we just..."

Jupiter was interrupted when Mercury flew in with Exodus in his arms. The gods fell silent. Minerva let out a muffled gasp. She rushed forward with Diana. She ordered Diana to heal him but before anyone could, he got up. He was no longer skinny but muscular, and yet still pale. He was taller than all other gods, even Jupiter. He radiated pure evil and darkness. Malice. He had an aura that made you want to destroy everything that you owned.

"Hello, Olympians." His voice echoed, sounding much like a human scream. "Now, bow down to the new King of the Universe!"
