The Guardian

Chapter 9- Kronos

I am Having the time of my life down here... I was chained up, Deep underground in Tartarus. I guess i pissed Zeus off for reminding him of his stupidity. Lets go back a few hours from now so that you will know what i'm talking about.

Remember when i asked Zeus what happened to the humans? Well, after i asked, Zeus shifted uncomfortably in his seat, while the other Gods stiffened, Ares remained unfazed. "Well, that's not really a topic i would like to talk abou--" Zeus stuttered. "But i must know. Without mortals giving sacrifices or worshippers, a God can't exist." I said in an annoyed voice. "Hmph! well i may be a lower ranking God but i sure as hell ain't stupid!" i folded my arms. I certainly didn't look anymore threatening, but at least the facade of courage made me look arrogant. All Gods are arrogant, even the lower ranking ones.

Zeus sighed. "Its nothing serious really. Its just a simple cleansing. the humans will be back soon." Zeus said. "Cleansing? then how come everything is barren? Based on my observation you even 'cleansed' the entire animal kingdom destroying the cycle of life and agriculture. You basically just fucked yourself ten times over." I said.

Zeus went stiff as a board, but i continued mercilessly. "plus i'm pretty sure it was Prometheus who made the humans. And might i add, it was Gaia who made the whole animal kingdom, so normal Gods cant create what Gaia made, so in terms you guys are pretty much idiots." i added with a 'sincere' smile.

Well one thing led to another Zeus himself dragged me all the way to Tartarus and chained me up next to the titans.

This is Mikes fault. You see i normally don't have any emotions. But gaining a body gives me just that. And this body is extremely cocky. I looked over my right side only to see rocks. I looked over on my left side... more rocks. I looked up, A rock with eyes attached-... yep, This is gonna be a fine day. 

It was a Titan. Looks like it was isolated from the other titans. But why?.

I release myself from the chains that was binding me, It was just a normal chain, so it was relatively weak. They look down on me too much. I used one of my abilities to see through walls. Kelly made me name it {Eye of the Seraphim's}. I looked up on the direction to Mt. Olympus.

Hot spots. 

That's what i'm looking for. Its basically what you people call thermal. I could see where they are anytime. Although in my original body, i could see everything around the world clearly, but because i'm using a relatively weak body, all i could see are their heat signatures. Zeus is watching the portal, Hermes is beside him. They seem to be talking with each other.

I held both my arms up in the air and chanted in my old language trillions of years ago. "י סוממונ מי פאמיליאר פרומ תהע דעפתהס ופ העלל תו סערוע מע. ךומע וות חכאז" i brought my hand down with deliberate force enough to shake the entire underground. Kronos shifted, he seemed intrigued on what i was doing.

My shadow darkened and became longer. a figure rose up from underneath me with red glowing eyes accompanied by a sickening grin. Kcaz. Hes both here and in the town. "העללו קכאז." i spoke in my old language once more. I cant have Kronos know of my plans.

 "חעללו צאכק. שהי דיד יוו כאלל? אנד פלוסס שהי ארע יוו ינ הערע?" Kcaz said. We went like this for a couple hours, Discussing something that cannot be disclosed, But Kronos just kept on watching. I sent Kcaz away after my discussion with him, then i turned my attention to Kronos. 

He seemed deprived of energy. "Hello Kronos." I said, but Kronos kept silent. "Are you in pain?" Kronos nodded slowly. I used magic to restore his energy. Magic is normally not  found in this world, But a foreign power is necessary to power up a monster. You see in the multiverse, almost every single demon can use magic. Magic refers to the term used to specify a phenomenon where beings both of both life and death can use to materialise what is called, a miracle or an energy like power.  A dim light is now flowing through Kronos' Veins, He screamed in pain as he felt the hot Ichor in his veins bubble up and multiply, spreading through his entire body.

Then he stopped as suddenly as he started. His breathing became slow and steady. The chains that bound him started to creak. The tissue surrounding Kronos thickened, He was regaining his strength, No, Hes more powerful than any of the other Gods now.

"Kronos. Do you desire revenge?" i asked. "No" Kronos answered, This left me shocked. "No? What do you mean? It was them who imprisoned you. It was them who made you lose your kingdom. It was them who defiled the world that your mother made." I said a little annoyed.

"I don't want to take revenge. Its my fault that my fellow brothers and sisters were thrown down here." He said with regret. I looked at him in the eyes. This is quite different from his alternates. "Looks like you've matured Kronos, A true king." Kronos looked up in disbelief. It seems the word King, Gave him a punch in the guts. "Your son, Zeus, Is slowly killing the earth. Hes feeding off, the Gods, His fellow brother and sister. Even his children. Hes worst than you Kronos. The world needs a proper king." 

"I cannot be trusted with power." Kronos said, Although he seems to be more hesitant when he said that. "I don't even know who my enemy is" Kronos continued. "I have the answer for that Kronos, You have two enemies. The Olympians, And yourself." I said. Kronos kept silent, Looking at the ground. "Your the only enemy who you seem to lose to Kronos. In terms of power, You hold the upper hand. Your the titan of greed and time. You are more powerful than any of the other Gods. You lost centuries ago, Not because they were Gods. It was because you were afraid, Afraid of the prophecy. You see Kronos, A prophecy cant come true without the one whose in the prophecy to act upon the prophecy. You Lost to yourself Kronos. So this time, Do it right." I said

Kronos nodded. "Bring me to my brethren first."
