Chapter 11 - The Story of Zeus

Our king had fought the god Zeus once. When he was at his most powerful. The king defeated him, said Thronir with pride. He looked at Seronn and Archimedes, the dwarf, and spoke, "He was even more powerful than the two of you," he said. Zeus was only scared of him back then. He was the only person he feared. They came to blows many times but the king had always won. This angered Zeus a lot and he wanted to take revenge on the king. So he gave an ultimatum. Your daughter shall be married to be son when he is born, or else your planet will not receive sun for eternity, he said. The king had no choice, you see, said Thronir looking at the both of them. If the marriage happened, then Zeus would have taken control of the kingdom. Slowly killing us all. That is how much he detested the dwarves, said Thronir. So, now we live without light and he is still trying to kill us, he said.

Actually, the hylin aren't so bad, said Thronir. They are just weapons used by Zeus. It was either keep us in control and hunt us down or be hunted themselves. But they did not have the heart to kill us all, said Thronir. Even though they were suppressed, they did not have the heart to kill us when they had the chance. Zeus had killed a hylin now and then because they refused to hunt us down. My Father! said Seronn. I thought I was evil! he added.

After all, he is your father! joked Archimedes in a rare moment. You should have killed him, when you had the chance! said Thronir. Seronn kept silent. I will do it, said Archimedes.
