Chapter 2

Third person POV

Zeus was born by the Titans Cronus and Rhea. Cronus was notorious for being a very jealous and greedy deity. Out of the fear one of his children could take his throne, Cronus swallowed every child Rhea was giving birth to.

However, when Rhea gave birth to her last child, Zeus, she managed to trick Cronus with the help of the Titans Uranus and Gaea. She gave her husband a rock in swaddling clothes to swallow, as a substitution to her child, and sent Zeus away to the Greek island of Crete.

Special daemons named "Curetes" made noise by hitting their shields, so that Cronus would to not hear the cries of the baby. Zeus was raised secretly by the Nymphs and was fed with honey and milk from the goat nurse Amaltheia with the help of her broken-off horn.

Soon came the day where Zeus was mature enough to claim the Kingdom of the World and he started a battle against his father and the Titans.

This battle is also known as "Titanomachy". First, Zeus managed to liberate his elder brothers and sisters from his father's stomach by giving him a special herb and making him disgorge.

Then, with the help of his siblings, Zeus overthrew the Titans in the depths of the Underworld, the Tartarus. After overthrowing his father Cronus, Zeus was confronted with the Giants and also the monster Typhon, which he both defeated successfully.

Time had come for the Kingdom of the World to be in the hands of Zeus and his siblings!

Justly, Zeus drew lots with his brothers Poseidon and Hades to let luck determine who would become the new King of the Gods.

Zeus won the draw and he officially became the ruler of the Earth and the Sky and the Lord of Mount Olympus, the highest mountain of Greece.

Priamos looked at the figure before him, it didn't take an idiot that hard to figure out that this was one of the gods. It was quite obvious considering the 'golden men' flanking the person. The presence shook the whole school and basically the world.

A god is on earth

Priamos’ first thought was why? And why right now? What could be so important that a good had to come down and solve whatever it was here. The god scanned the hallway, it was dead silent, no one was moving. The gods eyes seemed to scan every person in the room.

His eyes landed on priamos but just like the rest passed him on an instant. The god seemed finished from scanning the school, he didn't seemed pleased but at the same time didn't seem unpleased, it was weird.

Then suddenly the god disappeared right before there eyes. The god left as quickly as they came, it was interesting to say the least. Priamos quickly hurried to class not wanting to get distracted by the scene that just unfolded.

The daily announcements announced that the classes were going to cut short today, everyone knew why. He sat in his seat in math class and looked at the board. There was homework assigned this week on the board.

He suddenly heard someone sit in the seat next to him. He looked over and was met with his friend Casey. "Hey" she said to him cheerfully. He hummed and nodded at her, she was probably his only friend.

“What happened this morning” she asked him. Priamos merely shrugged his shoulders. “I have no idea” he murmured. “I mean obviously we know who it was but-“ he paused to look down at his notes.

“Why would a god come to earth” she finished the sentence for him. He simply nodded without saying anything. There must’ve been a bigger reason for this event. Maybe someone died, or a monster escaped Tartarus.

Nobody knew.

Just like that the day was cut short to only four classes and they got out early. Obviously he couldn't pick up his sister so he decided to go home and just take a quick nap then pick her up from school.

He walked until he was in front of his one story house. He opened the unlocked door and went inside his house. He smelt food coming from the kitchen and went their. He walked in on his mother cooking pie.

She looked up and smiled as she saw her 'son' sitting down on a stool around the island. "You out of school early?" She asked. He nodded to her while he placed his backpack on the floor, "why are you baking?" he asked.

"Well I just wanted to make you and your sister something sweet when you get home" she answered. He smiled "thanks mom" he said. They talked like that for about two more hours and now he had to pick up his sister.

He walked to her school and saw her standing there happily holding her teachers hand, waiting for her brother. She could tell who he was just looking at what he was wearing, he had a very distinct style.

He was wearing a white collared shirt under an oversized purple hoodie with the collar sticking out, he matched it with black jeans and some converses. Since his family was poor he made sure to also get a job to help out and buy good clothes.

She ran up to priamos and hugged him tightly. He picked her hip and carried her on his hip, he bounced her up and down and laughed. He placed her back on the the ground and held her hand, walking back home.

Even though they didn't have a lot, they were happy and content with how they lived. No money could ever make this any better.
