"And in the 𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙝𝙨 of the world, he 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙"

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"And what did we do with our previous rulers?

We slaughtered them, took their lives. I didn't want that to happen to us."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
Us .ᐣ
You did it out of fear that one of our children might overthrow you ...
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"You think I didn't?

That I wasn't torn by every child I ate? That I knew I was the monster. But I did it for us..."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
You ask me why , but you know the reason ..
You know I love our children more than anything else in the world .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

He pulled up a seat, a sigh ran past his lips, all this time...time...

"Why?"

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( Rhea remains silent , but her eyes are on Kronos's face , watching him .
She had noticed his look change to anger and she is preparing for the worst as a reaction )
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

There was that anger.

He was silent, his face stoic, he couldn't believe what he had heard, yet it explained it all.

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
I'm not hiding anything .. I freed Zeus from your unhealthy idea and stood by him and our other children .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

@KlNG0FTHEDEAD He raised his hands, his eyes moving around the kingdom, a gentle pace beginning.

"To see my son."

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"And yet you don't elaborate, what do you hide from me?"

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
A lot happened , Kronos ..
I thought I'd never see you again .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"Hence why I was forced to consume. I never took joy in a job so...horrifying."

[ᅠ ᅠ 𝐷𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 @LADYCERES]

ᅠ “ doesnt sound like something many of your children would enjoy I included ”

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

A chuckle emanating from him, feeling as it shook the room.

"Provoke? I am long past that...look upon me. Age has infected me."

[،̲،ᅠᅠᅠ☠︎︎ᅠ——ᅠ𝕳𝙰𝙳𝙴𝚂ᅠ.ᐟ @KlNG0FTHEDEAD]

a momentary pleasure does not tempt me. you may have to try harder if you intend to provoke me, father.

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"H...how did you get out?

Eons I have been kept in this...hell."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
It's the same for me .
It's weird seeing you here ...
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

He shook his head.

"I've not seen you since the Titanomachy...one could think you were dead."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
Dead ... .ᐣ
You hate me that much to think that .ᐣ
ᅠᅠ‍
( She chuckles , between amused and sad )
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

Feelings swirled around him, relief, anger, love, hatred...too many in so little time that his legs almost gave out beneath him.

"I thought you dead."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( She turns her head to him , following his actions )
ᅠᅠ‍
Unfortunately , it is ..
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

Is not the patron of sleep.

Do not blame him for your inability to fall into slumber.

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

His hand retreated from her warmth, he took a step back, almost confused with whats before him.

"It cannot be..."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( She smiles slightly )
ᅠᅠ‍
You've been away so long you don't recognize your wife , Kronos .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

He kept it there, maybe a bit too long.

"Speaking of the past....you remind me of my wife.

...it has been many years since I've seen her."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( She jumps at the hand on her shoulder , not expecting it )
ᅠᅠ‍
I ... know .
I should leave the past behind me .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

He placed a hand upon her shoulder, it was a rather gentle touch.

"You need not fear any more. I am only an agent of time...past is now the past."

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( She looks inside the mug as lost in thought )
ᅠᅠ‍
It does ..
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"A forgotten realm. You play with ghosts while all else, dance in the sun."

[،̲،ᅠᅠᅠ☠︎︎ᅠ——ᅠ𝕳𝙰𝙳𝙴𝚂ᅠ.ᐟ @KlNG0FTHEDEAD]

i'm not locked away. i have an entire realm to rule.

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"And does it fill you with dread?"

He said after taking a short sip of tea.

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( She takes the mug with kindness )
ᅠᅠ‍
I ... had to figure out if it was really you .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

He did just that. Holding it out to her to take. Producing his own.

"What brings you to my abode?"

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( She looks down at the mug of tea )
ᅠᅠ‍
Sugar , thank you .
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"I would've let you all live under my hand.

...power infects all."

[ᅠ ᅠ 𝐷𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑 @LADYCERES]

“ None of us children would have without Zeus , as little as as like to give him credit due to his questionable behavior ”

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

He shuffled over to a table, pouring out a mug of tea.

"Milk? Sugar?"

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
A guest ... Of course , yes .
I──would love that .
