She's The Cursed Goddess (Self-Published)

XXVIII: Titanomachy

Heshiena's Point of View

An hour have been passed since the start of our new lesson for today. I got to know how the universe created. On how Chaos was able to produce an entity on her own. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala kung gaano ka-intense ang simula ng conflict against Ouranos.

Kronos even castrate his father and all the blood that spilled the earth and ocean, naipanganak naman ang mga gigantes, ash tree nymphs, at Erinyes. Hindi ko alam kung ano o sino ang Erinyes. Maging si Aphrodite ay naipanganak sa pamamagitan ng sea foam noong bumagsak ang genital ni Ouranos sa dagat.

Mind-blowing.

I concluded that the deities had the power to reproduce in their own way. I guess, some of them? Hindi ko alam. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Miss Meriam flash a smile while her eyes were locked on me.

"Erinyes, also known as Furies, are the spirits of vengeance who serve the god Hades." They are working for the King of the Underworld, I see. "They are his torturers in the Underworld and punish the crimes of the wicked." Tumatango-tango ako habang nagle-lesson si Miss Meriam tungkol sa kanila.

"Each Fury was sometimes represented as avenging a certain type of crime, such as crime, grudges, or murder." Inilagay ko ang aking baba sa aking palad, habang nakasuporta ang aking siko. "Furies consists of three spirits. Sila ay sina Alecto, ang galit, Megaera, ang sama ng loob, at si Tisiphone, ang tagapaghiganti."

Miss Meriam clasped her hands. Dahilan para makuha niya ang aming buong atensyon.

Si Ace naman na inaantok ay nagsilakihan ang mga mata dahil sa gulat. Tinawanan naman siya nina Dash, Fuego, at Zuki. Habang si Blaze naman ay pailing-iling sa ulo, pero nakangiti.

"Moving on." Nagpakawala si Miss Meriam ng malalim na buntonghininga bago nagpatuloy. Biglang sumeryoso ang mukha niya. "Kronos became the next ruler. Naging titan king siya ng Mount Othrys, home of the titans. Gaya ng kaniyang ipinangako, ipinagkalooban niya ang mga kapatid na tumulong sa kaniya na kontrolin ang apat na sulok ng mundo. And released his Elder Cyclopes and Hekatonkheires brothers from Tartarus."

"In return, they built a magnificent black marble palace for him on the top of Mount Othrys, and a massive obsidian throne encrusted with gold and diamonds. Believing everything was fine now, their mother decided to rest for many thousands of years."

Believing everything was fine? Kumunot ang noo ko dahil diyan. I silently scoff when I realized the Olympians wasn't born at this time. Perhaps, that's what it meant.

"However, the Golden Age was mere propaganda and mortals were only seen as fast food or cheap entertainment of the Titans." I could somehow trace Miss Meriam's disgusted tone on her voice.

Ipinikit niya ang kaniyang mata upang pakalmahin ang sarili. "As the titan of time, Kronos particularly relished time's destructive properties, being immortal himself. He would often travel the world and speed up the lives of random plants, animals and humans, sadistically watch them wither up and die," she continued.

My eyes went closed for a couple of seconds after I heard what Miss Meriam said. Wow, I am speechless. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong i-react kay Kronos.

"Sa oras na ito, madalas na nilapitan ni Kronos ang kaniyang clairvoyant na kapatid na si Koios na may tanong tungkol sa hinaharap. Ang kaniyang pamangkin na si Atlas ay malapit nang lumaki upang maging kaniyang pinakamakapangyarihan at tapat na tagasunod, heneral ng kaniyang pwersa," she paused. "Lalong naiinis si Kronos sa lahat ng hindi matiis na ingay na patuloy na ginagawa ng kaniyang mga kapatid na Hekatonkheires at elder cyclopes. At ang kanilang nakasusuklam na baho. Kaya naman, ikinulong niya ang mga ito sa Tartarus. Sa pagkakataong ito, binabantayan sila ni Kampê, ang pinakamabangis at nakakatakot na halimaw sa buong Tartarus."
