Ch 1.

*Wahhhh* *Wahhhh*

In the midst of a cave situated in a valley within a mountain range, there is a loud, high pitched crying of a recently born healthy baby. Inside the cave, there lay a breath taking women who seemed as though she has just gone through intense labor. Her long blonde hair sprawled everywhere, some strands sticking to her skin as her sweat glues it in place.

Next to her was a regal looking man sitting next to the lady, holding her close whilst also looking warmly at the baby that is within the embrace of the women. If one were to look at them, it would seem as though it was a loving couple, where the women has just experienced childbirth and the man is comforting his wife. However the only difference is that if an ordinary sized man were to stand next to them, he would only reach their mid shin level. The baby itself would be as tall as an human.

???-''Rhea my love, you have done well. We have a healthy boy with us now hahaha!''

Rhea-''Yes... my baby boy is so beautiful. I will make sure to treasure him forever. As well as our future children... Kronos... Can I name our first child?''

With tired breathes, Rhea replied. Kronos, looking at his child then switching his gaze to his wife Rhea, smiled and said.

Kronos-''Of course my love. What shall be his name?''

Rhea-''...Alexander...''

Kronos-''Hahaha! Aye, what a strong name. Alexander it is. Hear that boy? Your name shall now hence forth be known as Alexander. Make sure you live up to your name! Bwahaha!''

Perhaps the baby, or Alexander heard his father as when his father said this and laughed joyously Alexander also burst into a fit of giggles. Within the spacious cave, sounds of joy and laughter filled the air.

5 years later~

Within a forest, there was a boy running frantically. Even if the trees were in his way, he just bulldoze over them as if there was nothing there. After all, with the speed he is going and he himself being the size of half the trees and the strength he wields, it's effortless for him.

???-''Come back here boy! If you don't stop now and I catch you, I will make sure that you will suffer even more!''

???-''Kronos! Please! I beg you, leave the boy alone! You know him, he would never do anything you think he would do! He's a loving, sweet boy! PLEASE!''

Kronos-''Silence Rhea! If I say I want him gone, then gone he shall be!''

POV Alexander~

Hearing the words of my father made me flinch but kept running at the behest of my mother as she holds my father back. I don't know why this is happening. Why has father become like this? I have done nothing wrong! Please. Where has my strict but loving father gone to? This is not him! He started acting weird on my fourth name day.

He started to stare at me with eyes that no longer showed love towards me. Even my uncles and aunties noticed this change but said nothing of it. However, mother was different. She started to try to keep my away from father as much as she could without giving me the reason why. As I saw my father less and less throughout the year, I kept questioning my mother why she is keeping me from father, but every time I do, she looked afraid so I stopped asking because I don't want my mother to be afraid.

Finally having missed my father for so long, I decided to sneak away from my mother and go towards my father where he was currently residing atop a new mountain that he as well as his brothers and sisters created and made their new home recently where they built giant buildings where they now live. However my mother and I lived away from them and instead stayed at my birth place in a cave ever since my fourth name day.

Arriving in front of my fathers home, I slowly opened the doors where I saw him sitting in his throne, sitting completely still.

Alexander-''Father? It's me Alexander... I-I haven't seen you in a while and I missed you. I sneaked away from mother so don't tell her or I will be in trouble hehe~...''

Seeing my father unresponsive, I grew concerned and quickly ran up to him where I barely reach his knees. Gently shaking his knees I called out to him.

Alexander-''Father? Are you ok?... I just wanted to come a play with you. If you want I could come back next time if your tired...''

Kronos-''Alexander...''

Looking down sadly as I didn't hear him respond until he called my name made me perk up again and look towards him only for me to freeze as fear overcomes me. When I saw my father, what I saw was not the father I was used to, where he looked at me with love. Instead, what I saw to someone who had my fathers face and was looking at me with such coldness. Yes. This has to be someone else. Father would never look at me like that. Never...

Slowly stepping back, his eyes kept staring into me devoid of any emotion what so ever.

Alexander-''F-Father?... W-what's wrong? A-are you angry? Did I do something wrong? If I did, I p-promise that I won't do it again. I-I just wanted to see you a-again and p-perhaps play. But if your t-tired, then w-we can play next t-time...''

As I reached closer towards the door, within the dimly lit room, I saw father slowly getting up and slowly walked towards me which made my blood run cold as cold sweat drips down my back and my legs shaking from fear.

As my father kept walking towards me, I stumbled and fell back. But even still I tried to shuffle away towards the door whilst still looking at my father walking towards me. I couldn't voice for help from my uncles or aunties as fear has gotten a hold of my throat.

Suddenly my father was in front of me and crouched down, reaching towards my throat, clamping down and lifting me up from my throat. I grabbed his arm to try and pry his hold from me but it wasn't working as I just stayed there, coughing and flailing about.

Kronos-''Alexander my child... you were a mistake... I shouldn't have sired you... you are a threat to me and all that I rule... It's best if you never existed.''

My father coldly said as he summoned his curved blade and rested the sharp edge of the blade against my neck causing golden blood to flow. With tears flowing down my face, I closed my eyes not wanting to see the monster in front of me.

Alexander-'mother...'

I silently thought of mother as I start to lose consciousness. However just before I lost consciousness from being refused of air, a loud sound came from behind me only for my fathers grip on my neck to loosen and then completely let go as I fell to the ground, cracking the stone under me as I landed.

Looking up, I saw mother on top of my father, punching him repeatedly on the face as my father struggles to get her off. Mother then suddenly looks towards me and shouted urgently

Rhea-''Run Alexander! Leave this place!''

Not know what is happening, my body moved on it's own and I was soon in a full blown sprint, running down the mountain, passing my uncles and aunties that had either concerned, confuse or even amused looks on their faces.

~Back to present~

Kronos-''Come back here boy!''

I have been running for days non-stop as I tried to get away from father. From forest, swamps, deserts, plains, mountains, I've run through them all whilst my father closely behind me. Sometimes he gets close to me only for mother to come save me again.

~5 months later~

*Pant* *Pant* Alexander, who was now trapped between his uncle Hyperion and his father. His mother was lying not far from them in a puddle of her own golden blood with her limbs cut off. However even if she had her limbs cut off, mother told me that it's hard for us to die and would heal the most severe wounds possible with time.

Rhea, who was unable to move begged Kronos as well as her siblings that was surrounding them.

Rhea-''Please! Let him go! He is innocent! Let my baby go!''

Kronos-'' *Scoffs* Do you really think that I would let the boy go? After all this time? No. No I will not. I was going to give him a painless death seeing as he was my son after all, but since YOU Rhea defy me, your KING, time and time again, I will not kill him and instead make him suffer as your punishment for going against me.''

Saying that, Kronos steadily walked towards me. I tried running away again but my uncle Hyperion held me still. As I was being held down, I looked up and saw my father over me. Looking around I pleaded for my other uncles and aunties.

Alexander-''Help me I beg of you! I don't like this! I don't want this! Please help my mother and I! I don't want to die! Mother! Help!''

Seeing her son begging in fear, Rhea once again struggles as her limbs grew rapidly. With nothing but the safety of her son, she dashes towards Kronos' back as she summons 2 giant lions that attacked Hyperion momentarily letting go of Alexander while she herself runs towards Kronos who was now facing her.

She then summoned a wooden spear as she thrust the spear towards Kronos' heart. However Kronos vanished from his spot only to appear behind her with his curved sword. Rhea seeing Kronos disappear quickly turned around. However, as she turned around, Kronos already swiped his sword horizontally, decapitating Rhea causing golden blood to spray everywhere.

Alexander-''Mother! NOO~! BASTARD! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!''

Kronos appeared in front of me and with 1 swipe, I fell to the ground. As I looked down, I saw that my legs were no longer attached to me. However I barely managed to suppress my shout of pain as I have already experienced my limbs from being cut, smashed etc.

Kronos-''Don't worry boy, she won't die from that. She can still see and hear you though but she is unable to move nor speak. Here Rhea look. Watch what I'm about to do to your son.''

I tried to crawl towards my mothers head that I could see that she is still able to recognize what is happening but is unable to do anything as tears were rolling down her face. Hyperion, who had his left eye missing and some scratches from my mother's lions was able to kill the 2 lions and approached me and held me up in front of my father.

Kronos came up to me and once again cut my arms off, now leaving me limbless. No longer being able to suppress my pain, I screamed as loud as I could.

Alexander-''AHHHHH!''

Kronos-''This is what will happen if you go against me next time Rhea''

Kronos says as he grabs me by the throat and lifts me above him. As my golden blood drips down to his face, he opens his mouth and lowers me towards it.

Alexander-''NOO!! MOTHER HELP!! ARGHHH!!''

Slowly, Alexanders wails dies out as Kronos chews and swallows Alexander. Rhea with red eyes sees this as tears continue to fall from her eyes. However she is unable to express her sorrow due to her current condition.

Kronos-''Let this be a lesson to you all as well. Even if your my brothers and sisters, I won't hesitate to remove you should you go against me.''

Kronos then looks one more time towards Rhea then walks away back towards his home along with his siblings. Hyperion then picks up both Rheas head and body and soon followed his siblings.
