Chapter 5 - 5 Tartarus

In a cave you could see a young man with golden hair waking up from his sleeping and holding his head as if he was having a headache.

This young man was Darius who was having a hangover trying to recall what happened last night.

Remembered about the fact he got drunk, he could not help but become embarrassed as his face flushed red.

While trying to hide his embarrassment mean by putting his arm against his face, but his ears were bright red showing he was embarrassed recalling him passing out while drunk.

While he saw Zeus and Poseidon and Hades and his sister's come in while seeming holding in their laughter except Hades and Hera, unlike Hestia who seemed grinning while trying to suppress her laughter as she didn't want his little brother to feel embarrassed.

Little did she know Darius upon seeing them with his face flashed red while trying to not look at them in Embarrassment even his sister hestia who he knew tried comforting him but failed miserable upon seeing this Poseidon laughed and wrap his arm around his brother which did not ease him one bit in which Poseidon said "Come on let's go to the meeting. "

Though still embarrassed and trying to hide his embarrassment went along, his siblings hoping they would eventually forget of his drunk incident.

After seeing their little sibling embarrassed, they wanted to tease him more but needed to attend the meeting.

Darius and his siblings joining the meeting with various titans and nymphs and his mother Rhea where they discussed their plan to overthrow Kronos and had decided to set out to Tartarus.

To ask the cyclopes to make them weapons stronger than that of Kronos scythe as they lacked experience and weapons which they agreed upon as they were too weak and had just practiced using their powers Darius was able to summon a large amount of plants and control them just as he wished though he avoided killing anyone and mostly used vines as to carry him while he sleeps or bind his enemies.

He had practiced this with his uncle's and found that he had a certain talent with a staff, which he found out while he was testing some weapons he had also had a certain amount of talent to the bow.

But had mostly taken into training his staff and only trained his archery to the point he won't miss a moving target, but still kept on his staff which was wood and had carvings that resembled vines and an apple carving on top which he prepared as they decided to go to Tartarus in the afternoon.

Hades smiled as he seemed quite happy at the thought of venturing to the darkest and most horrifying realm In the universe, though not all noticed it his siblings.

Darius and hestia seemed to be able to sense and was quite happy as it's rare for him to smile and show happiness though he does he did not do this often and with that they set off to Tartarus with Hades as the guide.

Darius POV

My siblings and I are about to venture into Tartarus before leaving me and my siblings went to Our mother Rhea to be hugged and sent a fair well on our journey and Even Hades was quite happy during our hug and fair well it seemed Hades has taken a liking to our mother just as all 7 of us have and went to venture to Tartarus.

The siblings went into a cave and were lead by Hades which still doesn't get along with Zeus, but Zeus seemed to get a liking to his little brother Darius and so did Hades, so they tried for a while when he was present Hades was very skilled in navigating earth and was able to lead his brothers and sister straight to Tartarus though a complex network of underworld tunnels and was surrounded by magma.

Darius and his siblings were sneaking into the depths of Tartarus to find a prison which had imprisoned the elder cyclopes and Hekaonkheires and to meet a fearful monster there guardian kampê which they shuddered in horror seeing there first infernal monster even Zeus Hades and Poseidon were affected just as Darius and his sister were however they the gods were able to overcome their fear and were able to sneak in without Kampê the monster noticing.

After sneaking in, they saw the elder cyclopes and hekaonkheires chained in which Zeus first approached and convince cyclopes Bronte's to forge powerful weapons for him and his siblings behind Kampês back in which they were able to make 4 Powerful weapons

First, a master bolt for Zeus. Second a trident for Poseidon and Third helm of darkness which Hades seemed particularly pleased with its power to cause intense ineffable terror, Indeed, the terrifying aura was powerful enough for Hades to scare even Zeus and Poseidon simultaneously, to the point that both of them paled and started to sweat with fear after forging the first 3 weapons when Darius asked for a staff in which they made that had markings like vines around it with a sharp edge after making.

Kampê had noticed and had started to attack.

Zeus has said "Good, I needed someone to test my new weapon on. "

In which Zeus had obliterated the beast using his Master bolt whilst Hades and Poseidon were testing out their new weapons in which Poseidon used his new trident to break the chains that held the elder cyclopes and hekaonkheires in place.

Freeing them noticing that they were free, they had set out back to the surface in which Darius decided to name as Nature's Branch.

The staff had vine like patterns with a plant like pattern on top it had 2 sharp edges similar to a deers horn.
