Pain. That's all he could feel from the start. But then he saw it—the light. He felt its warm embrace, the feeling of its warm touch hugging him, its loving eyes staring at him. The light helped stop the pain, if only for a bit. Just as the pain stopped, so did the screaming. Only now did he realise that he was screaming.
Soon, the pain and the screaming were forgotten, but in their place, a new pain took hold a new sensation. It was similar to what was previously felt but different it carried a more empty feeling to it. It was a feeling of well it wasn't sure no that's a lie it was a feeling of hunger. Yes, hunger. No, he or she was hungry. Food was required, and the light seemed to provide, whether it be warmth, comfort , happiness. The light always seemed to be there, helping him.
Yet, why? He didn't understand. He had nothing to offer or give to the light, yet it still seemed to give to him. The light was loving it was giving and it loved to give to him all sorts of things: first it gave him the gift of life well it was a bit too soon to. to decide whether is was a gift or a curse, second, it seemend to scare away the pain with a its gaze, that gaze was filled with so much things it had yet to experience or understand and lastly, it fed him from it's own body it gave that delicious nectar from it's own body surely it had to sacrifice something to give. But why? Why would it just give without expecting anything in return? Surely, it should want something, perhaps it did want something but it had yet to reveal what it wanted, or maybe he was looking at it all wrong. What if it wasn't like him at all? What if it merely gave out of love and joy, not out of greed or necessity? But why? Why couldn't he understand an idea so foreign to him—one could only give expecting to take something that was of equal or a higher value yet the light was a complete opposite to him
Yet, did it? After all, it only formed. How could it know what it would do, how it would operate, whether it was an "it" or a "he" or a "them" or a "she"? It knew nothing of who it was, what it could be or strangely it knew nothing of itself it and it made a decision it decided to be a I. I'm a person not a thing, a person that could feel so much more than what was normal he could feel the world around it as it floated in the great nothing he could feel the primal energy flowing through it and the and the hum of the earth. but how did I know what was normal and abnormal and h- I was abnormal much more then what should be. I am both more and le- that feeling that's feeling it's darkness but how the light it's so warm and powerful but yet the darkness was strong so strong and it seemed all enveloping like gust being in its gaze it would have you swallowed up never to be seen again and it prevailed with ease like the light was barely there. it defeated the light by just standing there no that was the wrong choice it corroded like it was the exact opposite where the light was warm, kind and giving. The darkness was cold, hateful,and hungry. It felt so hungry, always hungry, hungrier than what anything should be. No, it wasn't hungry, not for sustenance, at least no for something else, some material and immaterial.
''Rhea has he been born yet don't stare at me like that you know what must be done the throne must be secured with me stop it you know what would happen to the world if i didn't!''
''Kronos you're a monster you ate our kids because you still fear daddy and his prophecies your nothing but a wild animal attacking all it fears and you take it out on us your children, your wife and your kingdom you're pathetic!''
''Rhea my temper draws you would do well to make me angry lest i take my ire out on you and well we couldn't have that could that now could we?''
''You're exactly like him a coward lording your fleeting power over us mere weaklings because you're to scared that someone will rise above you and do exactly what you did to father because you're exactly like him you disgusting pathetic excuse of a king!''
''I'm nothing like him, yeah you hear me, nothing I'm Stronger. I'm Smarter. I'm Better. I Am Better! Better than he could be if i wasnt how would be here and he isn't you know how i'll tell you how because i'm stronger i'm simply better so shut it and hand me the child name it first no child of mine shall lack a name now name him!''
''No you're right i was wrong you're better than him because he was only a slave to his desires nothing better than his lusts and you, you are merely a dog of a higher being one who even shares the same name the same domain except you can only get your power the very essence that make you a titan from a primordial the very being you hate you disgusting hypocrite!''
''Women if you want that babe to live you had better name him am i understood"
"Yes kronos i understand, as the son of two of the strongest titans he shall have a mighty name a name that shall represent him and what he is a name so mighty that it will strike fear into those who would face him battle his name shall be Croucios"
''Ha don't make me laugh women he shall face none in battle for he will never exist outside of me and you are not the strongest titan you are nowhere near it or need i get Atlas or Hyperion and list goes on, arrogance does not suit you woman remember your station.''
Croucios could feel something wrong like the very world was screaming out in rage then it happened the darkness took it. It looked at him but where the lights eyes were full of emotions and feeling the darknesses had nothing, nothing but greed it lifted him up and dropped him or at least it felt like it at the beginning it felt like falling but the closer he got to the darkness the more it felt like he was being pulled in every direction up, down, left, right and so many other ways his very essence seemed to be falling apart and put back together but each time something small would be shifted slightly sometimes the darkness would take from him then give it back but it came back twisted and warped barely resembling what it used to be until it had take everything from him and warped it all but it seemed to pull more with more strength and more desperation.
''Kronos one day fathers prophecy will come true and I pray for that with each babe of mine you swallow that day comes closer and closer. I know you can feel it too so don't bother denying it!''
''Enough women, I'm not the one birthing these….. These little godling instead of titans you have no one to blame but yourself!''
''Get out, get out now!"
"Incase you forgot kronos you had a hand in making these little godlings, not just me so don't you dare say this is my fault!''
With those final words the now named light rhea ran crying leaving the crooked king to stew in his failings as king, husband and last of all as a father. ''You can feel it can't you my son the winds of fate are changing and not in your favour so my crooked son what is it you will do?'' An ethereal voice whispered honeyed words into the dark king's ear like a snake slowly pushing him to its own agenda till he couldn't differentiate between his and hers.
''GET OUT OF MY HEAD NOW YOU INFERNAL WOMEN! Tell me what is it you want and not in my head speak to me like a normal entity and make it quick i've had a horrid enough day as it is.''
A mystical air filled the dark and dreary room. full of jagged corners so sharp that time itself bled and wept in pain.
''It is simple my son, my beautifully crooked son, so like his father, so cruel and twisted. What I want is simple my son. I want to watch you fall just like I watched your father fall and his father before him. As one who has been gifted by time I find it so funny you rarely stay and watch the truly pivotal moments but i guess you were always too busy to take a step back and enjoy what it is you have built. But I hope by the time you finally do you only feel despair at what it is that you have lost. You asked what I want well the answer is simple: I want to watch you despair and suffer. I want you to never know the feeling of freedom, I want you to feel the chains not just wrap around your physical body but your immaterial body, your very essence just as you did to my children and your brothers!''
''Don't be silly you vile woman, those disgusting and daft creatures couldn't be anything similar to me, they may be your children but I will never be related to them beyond the physical. And as long as my reign last they will remain in his depths and never see the helios's light nor feel your body under their feet
