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

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"And tell me. When our son eats his own, that is fine?

Word had reached my ears of this Metis and her prophecy, Zeus ate her. Did he not?

Yet there he remains! While I, I turn to dust!"

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
( Rhea opens her eyes wide to the sudden raise in tone of his voice , her body flinching )
ᅠᅠ‍
I──
I did it for our children ...
You were out of your mind to think of eating your own blood ...
ᅠᅠ‍

[ᅠᅠᅠᅠ ᅠᅠ ᅠ 𝙆𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙨 @DevourerOfSons]

"Because you betrayed me!"

His voice loud, the boom enough to shake awake a volcano, showcasing his anger.

[✶⋆.˚ 𝓜eter 𝓜egale @LETHEMLlVE]

ᅠᅠ‍
And what did it brought to us , Kronos ?
You were casted in Tartarus and all our children hate you for what you did ... Some still have nightmares of what happened ..
ᅠᅠ‍

[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 .
