Heavens fall

Even after all this time I’m not entirely sure if I loved my children… I might have just loved the fact that could change things… that they would make my life more interesting. Either way, I loved them more than I loved my Heaven. I wanted my children out more than I wanted Heaven to be happy. The only problem was that they feared their father. Our children were monstrous and powerful and Heaven hated them from the beginning, so he made sure they feared him.

To give them courage I made them a reaping-hook made of grey adamant and told them that Heaven had deserved it. He had started it by not letting them out. The only child that would listen to my encouragement was Kronos. He was the youngest and he had despised his father for as long as his father had despised him. I told him my plan and set him in an ambush.

When Heaven came, bringing the night, he didn’t notice anything different. Kronos cut off his father’s manhood and threw it away.

We still had a few kids after that though. I gathered the blood that spilled from my Heaven and made sure they didn’t go to waste, impregnating myself again. After a few years I bore the Erinyes, the Giants (complete with armour and spears) and the Meliai nymphs.

 

Heaven survived (of course) and he wasn’t happy. He didn’t do anything except name our children “Titans”. I’m sure you’ve heard of them somewhere before. They are immortal and they are still alive. They were trapped again… they’re still trapped. That’s a story I’ll leave for another time.
