Zeus was mad at Athena, mad at the deceive and mad at how much was put at risk because of her, yet he needed help, so he ordered her to kill for once the Titan. Despite both of the asteroids knew that some day they would end up colliding , they tried to slow doewn, give away energy and change courses, trying to procrastinate the inevitable.

Zikaos didn't loose more time, so he dodged Athena and attacked Zeus again. But the encounter with her sister had made him low the guard, and that was all Zeus needed to hit an accurate strike, and with luck's favor, perhaps the last one. And so Zeus hit the titan with a lighting, who fell immediately.

Once in the ground, Zeus thrusted his magnanimous sword into Zikaos' abdomen, stating the victory of himself and all the Gods.What was left to do was castrate him to strip him from any power, so Zeus gave that task to Athena, so she could redeem her wrong. Zikaos remained still in the ground, contemplating the tragic scene where his sister was. Athena was paralyzed, something that had never happened to her before, because after all doubt was for humans. Wasn't it?

After a couple of moments where Zeus was hysteric yelling the Godess of wisdom, she reacted. Athena approached the pair, sword in ahnd, prepared to make a certain cut, prepared for a decision which she would surely regret. She arrived, swifted her legendary sword and with a cut it all ended, the iron in the weapon produced loud vibrations.

Zeus was bewildered, he could not understand how her daughter, his beloved Godess, the perfection of the Olympus had perpetuated such an act. How could it be that Athena, Godess of wisdom had betrayed him in such a way? Three of his children had betrayed him, beasts which he himself had cursed were now destroying all what he knew. And for a long period of time Zeus remained in the floor, downhearted for Athena's betray, dejected for her traison and the lost of his right hand. God's blood flowed though the valleys of Mount Olympus.

Athena couldn't believed what had just happened, never, since the begining of her existence had she disobeyed her patriarch, had never questioned him or even though for once the posibility of defying him. But now she found herself holding a sword, covered with blood and magnificence remains. And in front of her was a figure which resembled that God of the past, terrified, astonished and confused.

Zikaos was still in the floor, with a sword without swordsman in his belly. Despite that he couldn't believe what ahd just happened, and that nothing in the world could have convince him that it would all turn out that way hours before; something inside told him that that that was the way things had to happen, that it was like that how it chould all end.

Athena and Zikaos had nothing planned, but the knew exactly what to do. Zikaos took the spear of the titans, thrusted into the God of gods' head, stripping him from the control over himself, while Athena castrated him, stripping him from the control on everything else. That was how the lightnings ceased from existence and just a last time, it was heard how the skies craked.

The lympic gods were laying on the dirt, sreeching, squealing and squeking due to the end of the world, the sky was falling apart and the ground toring into pieces. And that last sore sound in the sky anounced the end of their golden age of despotism, they were no longer Gods, just mutilated figures who used to exist.

The doors of the tartarus busted open so the titans could come out from their lock down, the thypoes was resurrected and the shadows of the Underworld occupied the Earth. Zikaos and Athena broke the doors of the world of the death, who instead of wandering the land as ghosts or live an enternity inpisioned, the became part of the winds of chaos. And so the world was winded in chaosm, anouncing the existence of freedom, which lead to the Apocalipse of the known world.

In her way back, Athena was able to see rows and rows of fierce demons, ready to destroy any trace of life, ready to follow any of her brother's commands. Mostly ready to do anything that would get them what they had wanted for centuries, freedom. She also reached to see some other figures that seemed Gods from the far, but she knew that no one would ever dare to oppose to the major God, or would they?

It didn't took long for Zeus to notice what was happening in his kingdom, the prays asking to stop monsters were too many, and the winds announced with their arrival an upcoming war, unluckily for the God, these didn't say which kind of war was to come. So the thunder God started to mobilize his troops, Hephaestus was asked to make new and better weapons for the Gods, Ares was given the job to search for heroes, and Hermes was sent to investigate the source of these revolts.

The Olympic army was prepared and shiny, they were only missing the heroes that Ares would bring and Apollo's archers. The troops were ready, the colossus were polished and oiled, the lightnings were at hand and the spirits were up. Zeus trusted that whatever attempt of rebellion would just be that, an attempt. He had his personal guard, who could not be other than his most trustworthy child, Athena.

Zikaos had just returned from the last task he needed to fulfill in order to emerge from the darkness of death into the last battle, he had gone to Etna volcanoe, where the last remaining piece of his army lied almost dead. Now it was all complete, a hundred years of hiding, a hundred years of waiting and preparation, and it would all summarize in less than a day. So finally, Hades opened the doors to the external world and the army walked throught the stairs until the upper world, guided by Hades, Ares and Apollo.

Zeus noticed the increasing crowd from his post, but when he saw it was lead by his sons and brother, he stopped the attack command. Then, as he and his perfect amry came down from the mount Olympus, Zeus asumed that Ares and Apollo had gone ahead and captured the threat. Then he made his first mistake, he approached them by himself, congratulating his children and his brother, when all of a sudden a creature from the crowd stepped up. He had the loks of a God, but his escence was more similar to those of ancient beings who used to wander the planet, Titans.

"Zeus, you have ruled for far too long now" was the first thing head in such a confusing scene. "Your rushed decisions and vices have taken this world to a decadent state, your time in this world has reached its end, and it is time for us to do something about it" Ended the strange being infront of the army.

Ofended, Zeus sent Ares to capture and murder the titan, but Ares just stood there. Then Zeus went to Apollo, who followed his brother's examplo. At last he asked Hades, who just answered with a shallow and diabolical laugh. Zeus had a second of confusion, and then he condamned the three Gods and the titan to a slow and painful death.

And so it began, at first the Gods were sweeping the monsters so fast the monsters had no chance, they crushed the fallen heroes and broke into pieces the celestial archers. But as they attacked more, the crowd just got bigger, more and more hell demons were coming from the Underworld. Soon the giants arrived to fight with the colossus, the harpies started attacking the beautiful and perfect faces of the Gods, and chaos started.

Ares and Apolo were fighint a death match with his father, who was overpowering them by far, it seemed they were about to die. Thunders, lighinigs and sparks few all over the field, the wrath of the skied was unleashed in the base of the Mount Olympus. Zikaos sent troops to corned the Gods into the mount. And while the rest of the Gods were defending themselves as they could, Athena was crushing one by one, every monster that got anywhere near her sight.

When Apollo was finally fallen, Ares seemed not to have a single chance angainst the supreme king of thuner. But it was then when Zikaos entered into the epic battle. He threw an ancient spear, forged by Atlas and other titians, so Zeus answered with a thunder. The tunder broke into a million pieces when it encountered the spear, Zeus couldn't believe it, he had been hurt with a simple spear by a being who was not even a God. But anyone should know that not even a spear in the chest could stop the God of Gods.

Then, as one of his own thunders, the idea hit Zeus with a bolt. There was nothing that could confirm it, but he knew, that Titan, that rebel was no other than his second child with the titan Metis. For a second he paralyzed, thinking of all things that implied them both fighting, and the posibility of his failure, and as he went through it all, his lighting became more violent and anxious.

The final match had started, Zeus and Zikaos dived into a fight that made the earth shake, and even the tiniest particle vibrate. Thunders were being fired everywhere, and sounds of metals as old as time echoed all over the world. The rest of the gods were being outnumbered by the beasts, who had once been human, and would still be if it weren't for said deities.

The fight continued, Zeus was fully concious that Zikaos had a prophecy advantage, he also knew that it would all end if he didn't win the match, so he called for help in a desperate attempt to gain some control over the fight. The help didn't take long to come, but it was only one elemnt, and perhaps the only one capable of helpong. It was the Goddess of wisdon and war, who had fiercely finished with half of the creatures. Athena.



[all it takes is one idea, one decision... and the revolution is started]

Meanwhile in the underworld, Hades and his unhappy wife, Persephone were very busy to attend to any of the celebrations; they had the responsibility to take care and educate Zikaos. Hades knew well who he was and what was it all about the prophecy surrounding him, and he was interested in more ways tan one. There, Hades instructed him in all the knowledge of the underworld, the hidden beasts, the ship of the dead and the Tartarus; while Persephone introduced him into the world of nature, how did trees, spirits and nynphs funtioned as a whole and how was it all related.

Zikaos grew into a strong and wise being, he had traveled the worlds of both, the living and the dead, he knew all what was there to know about nature, and was trained by the many beasts and demons into the ways of battle and war. He perfectly knew the structure of his father's monarchy, he knew who ought him favors and who hated him. And most important, he knew his story and where was the door of the Tartarus.



It all started the first day of winter, when Persephone came back to the Underworld. Zikaos spoke with her and Hades, he told them that the time for change had come, that it was time for them to come out of their underground imprisonment, and take back the land which was once denied to them. Hades, who saw this coming a while ago, thought it was too soon, they had no armies or allies. Persephnoe on the other hand, was a little more surprised but agreed with Zikaos that it was about time to change the authority.

By instinct or by calling, all the creatures from the underworld, who were once confined there by the Gods, started to congregate. Some giants that used to be beautiful maidens, some manticores that all they had left of ancient warriors, were the memories, and other beasts the Gods hadn't care to name. Zikaos commanded this little army as if was something that he did daily, as if he was meant to do that his whole life. And soon, beasts and mutants, from all over the world, were at the orders of the hero of chaos.

Soon enough news of monster gatherings and monster revolts arrived the Olympus, where Zeus took them as futile attempts of rebellion from the stupid beasts. But Athena knew exactly what was happening, even if no one had told her, she could felt her brother's plan being executed at the distance, evolving, making allies, becoming stronger than the Gods themselves. Something in her felt a great joy and excitement that she had never experienced before, but her worries were bigger.

Zikaos was preparing a few armors for cyclops and commanding the harpies into battle formations, when he heard his name at the distance. He didn't know who was it, but he answered right away. And sited next to a pile of shields there was his sister, Athena. After so many years, she didn't recognized him, but there was something is his sight that was the same as when he had came out from Zeus' abdomen, it was not only his eyes, his whole essence was full of it.

Athena was desperate for their destiny, and the consequences that such revolution would bring for them both, so she tried to convince him to desist. But despite of the Godess' pleas, Zikaos refused, and even invited her to join, that together, they could destroy Zeus and create a new world. But such ideas were beyond Athena's reasoning, and it was there where they first dis encountered each other, knowing that sooner or later they would have to face each other.

After attempts, contrivances and strategies to cause the infanticide, that would bring security to the kingdom, Zeus gave this hard task to the only one with the skills, the cleverness and intelligence to make it possible, Athena. He gave her the job to annihilate the only threat, which she accepted, pleased to be able to help her father. So Athena walked away en search of the formula of how to kill who he not even the thunders tickled.

She went all around the world, from the dark spiritualists from the Egypt, to the ancient witches of Turkey. She asked the gorgons in all Greece, and asked for aid to the Angers. But yet, no one was able to help her or explain her why was that being to able to be killed. Mean while her trips extended through time and space, the creature grew up, looking like a god in appearance, buy yet there was something about him that didn't belong to any of what Athena knew.

Athena chose to educate the creature a little bit, since she was the Goddess of knowledge and wisdom, she could not allow a creature so close to her grew up as a simple beast. Because after all, they came from the same father, and she supposed the same mother too, they were siblings. Time passed by and Athena continued without finding the way yo finish with the life of his brother, mainly because she was no longer looking for it, she had developed some sort of affection for him.

Soon, he was educated in the history of the Gods and epic heroes, in sciences and literature from men kind. She showed him the world, disgraces and beauties, majestuosity and decadency. He made his own opinion on many matters, as on why should the be ruled by a despotic and adulterous God, or why should the allow such atrocities happen to humanity. Athena answered a lot of these questions, but many others became doubts of her own.

But his could not las long, after a few decades Zeus looked for Athena to know if she had killed the creature. She was clueless about what to do, she knew she ought to be loyal to Zeus, but she didn't want to betray her only brother, Zikaos. So even if it hurt deeply, and betrayed a part of herself, she finally did it. So she told Zeus that she had achived the murder and had thrown him to the volcano Ethna, with the Thypoes.

Then, Athena was back at the Olympus with the other gods, who celebrated he adacity and intelligence for killing the creature that was neither a mortal or a god. The patriarch rewarded her for the achivement and parties were made to honor the end of the only threat to the established order for eones, to the regimen with no change and no imporvement.

Zeus knew well a prophecy that said that his second child with Metis, the titan of the fourth day, would bring his end and the destruction of the Olympic Gods' kingdom. Because of this, Zeus made sure to get rid of Metis, by devouring her. When he ate her, he gained all of her power, included her infinite wisdom. But soon he sickened and had to realese some of that overwhelming power. The result of the tragedy was the born of Athenea, the godess of wisdom and all intellectual arts. So Zeus tried to keep Metis locked in his stomach for the rest of eternity, just to make sure she would never have his second child.

For a long time Metis, or at least the putrified remains of what she used to be, remained in the dark and solitude; all because of Zeus' arrogance and lust. She knew that he would never let her out, she knew as wel that the prophecy would never become real, unless she could have another child of Zeus, which seemed beyond impossible in her situation. But her anger was stronger than the force of a thousand suns.

Zeus suddenly started having horrible pains coming from his stomach, pains that didn't let him sleep, think or even breath. The gods gathered to know what was all that about and to try to help the patriarch. After Hermes' attempts to bring the most advanced mortal medicine in the world, after Apollo tried a healing that would have cured any other disease, even after all the gods gave him their blessing; Zeus still had an uncontrolable pain coming from his abdomen.

This condition didn't get any better until Athenea wisely chose to investigate and concluded that she had to open his stomach. Obviously all the other gods refused, but being Athenea of Zeus' full trust, he agreed with such a procedure. So with the help of special tools from Hefestus and the strenght of giants and heros, they could finally open him. When they reachedthe stomach, they found a moaning mass, when they took it they affirmed their suspects, it was a baby. Knowing the prophecy, the first thing Zeus tried was to kill him, but he couldn't, for he was not a mortal. He tried to use the Gods' weapons, but they were of no use, he wasn't a God either.
