1 reworked prologue
[its not 100 percent accurate or fateful. I just changed it as I see fit. I want to keep the original PJO events untouched, but that would make the thing pointless, wouldn't it?
Might as well give you guys a taste of what I'm going for to see if in doing it right, Alternations from the original pjo content have been made but they are small alternations(current alteration in the chapter is them refusing instead of outright saying their to busy to join the rebellion)
The style may seem different from how I write, but that's it:p, just don't read if you find my content disappointing well I only actually post one content but still
Prologue isn't to different from the first, but I added some dialogue
I don't think I'll delete my previous chapters until a certain point of the new content, new content will be released a year from now and will go update only once in awhile tho]
Long ago, before the time of man, the gods, or even the titans, there was nothing in the world—no earth, no sea, not even the sky—all but one face of nature, the embodiment of nothingness itself, the void, the first deity, 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬.
Despite embodying nothingness, 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 wasn't truly nothing; yet, it couldn't be called something either.
It was a rough and uneven mass, in which there was nothing except idle weight and the congealed, dissonant seeds of unstable things. No Titan yet gave forth his sunlight to the world, nor yet did Selene display the waxing moon, nor did an earth yet hang in the surrounding air, nor had yet Amphitrite held in her embrace the far reaches of the world. The ground was unstable, the waves unswimmable, the air lightless; no form of anything lasted, for one hindered another, and in one body, cold contended with hot, wet strove against dry, soft things fought with hard things, and the weightless grappled with the heavy.
In other words, the deity itself could only be described as unchanging chaos without harmony.
That was until, one day, pieces of 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬 collected to form Earth (Gaea), The Sky (Ouranos), The Seas (Pontos), The Infernal Pit (Tartarus), Lastly the Mist/Darkness (Erebus).
Later, Gaea married her brother Ouranos, and by this time, Gaea had already given birth to the rustic domains and mountains (Ourae).
Eventually, Gaea and Ouranos had three sets of children together, namely the Titans, the Elder Cyclopes, and the Hekatonkheires. Although Gaea loved all of her children dearly, Ouranos became distant from their family and resented their children, particularly the younger races, as they were hideous. Despite Gaea's protests, Ouranos seized the Elder Cyclopes and the Hekatonkheires, chained them, and cast them to the depths of Tartarus.
Angered by her husband's actions, she gathered her remaining children and devised a plan to overthrow and kill her tyrant husband to avenge her children.
"What do you mean kill?" Gaea's favorite daughter was taken aback; she had never heard of such a concept before.
"Rhea, my dear, Just think of it like a nap, but a bit more permanent."
"B-but why?" She was shocked at the concept of such a thing.
"Because it's the only way we'll ever be free. Think about your elder siblings; just the thought of something happening to you and the others breaks my heart," the earth goddess replied.
"But there has to be another way!" Rhea protested.
"But there isn't another way; this has to be done, Rhea, whether you like it or not," one of her brothers said.
"Rhea's right!" Themis, the wisest of her sisters, intervened. "Who knows what consequences await us if we fail? Father might even send the rest of us to Tartarus!" Following the most intelligent of their siblings, her sisters (including Rhea) refused to participate in Gaea's plan for revenge.
But just as Gaea's daughters refused to participate, as for her sons, they were more willing to take part in this coup, all but one.
"How about you, my son?" Gaea asked her eldest son.
"I refuse to have any part in this absurd plan. Themis is right; there's too much at stake here." The eldest of the brothers, Oceanus, also refused to participate, resulting in the ridicule and contempt of his brothers.
"YOU COWARD!" The youngest, yet most power-hungry out of Gaea's children, yelled towards Oceanus as the others held him back, to prevent such meaningless conflict, as Themis calls it.
"Enough!" Gaea decided to intervene. "It's Oceanus's choice; while I cannot say I am not disappointed, I cannot help but understand his choice."
"And Kronos, you must respect his choice," Gaea said as she gazed towards her youngest.
"Come on, everyone, let's go; we're no longer needed." Themis led her sisters and her eldest brother somewhere else away from Gaea and their brothers, leaving them to discuss their rebellion and their father's demise.
Moments later, on a field.
"But Themis, I don't understand. Shouldn't you stop them?" uttered Rhea. "They've made up their mind. Mother's blinded by rage, and our brothers are only blinded by power," Themis replied. "But I'm worried. Father is far too powerful to fight. What if they fail? What will happen to us then?"
"Don't worry, Rhea. I'm sure Mother has a plan." Themis said this to lighten Rhea's heavy heart.
"I hope they do."
Back to Gaea and her sons:
"Mother, so how exactly do you plan to murder Ouranos?" asked Koios, the titan of intellect, knowledge, and the most impressive foresight.
Koios had the unique ability of prophecy, the first of its kind. He could ask the sky questions, while the answers frequently whispered back to him (including questions regarding the future).
"A wonderful question, my child. I hoped you would ask. I plan to do it with this!" Gaea said before she willed the earth to open as an object came right into her grasp with unimaginable speeds.
"A weapon capable of harming even the most powerful of immortals, forged from metals from my own body, a scythe," she said as she willed the weapon, whose blade curled like a crescent moon.
"As powerful as the weapon may be, surely this isn't enough?" Koios replied in a doubtful tone.
"As expected of the wisest of my sons, as powerful as this weapon may be, Ouranos has to be separated from his domain, shackled by a physical avatar away from his source of power."
"But I'll take care of that. Now what matters more is which one of you is willing to take the scythe." All her sons seemed hesitant to grab a hold of the weapon—all but one titan, a fearless and power-hungry titan.
"I'll do it!" Kronos came forward and took the scythe. "With this weapon, not only will I rule the universe, but I'll bring forward a new era, the Golden Age!"
His brothers all cheered in agreement which he relished, while Gaea merely smiled while looking at her children.
For her plan was just about to begin.
