Titans Rising – Thanatos and Hypnos
They watched me as I went by, the sleepwalkers, their eyes turned into his. They gave Cheshire cat grins and snickered.
Atё turned slowly, her smile still in place. “Oh, I know. Cataclysmic events, if I’m not mistaken.” Her smile dropped before she went on. “At least that’s what you promised, Kronos.”
Long brawny arms slipped through the bars as he leaned closer, golden eyes met hers as he responded, “Yes, yes I did. Now release us so we can give our family a proper reunion.”
They watched me as I went by, the sleepwalkers, their eyes turned into his. They gave Cheshire cat grins and snickered.
“They haven’t fought in a war in centuries.” I paused, my voice turning cold. “And besides, the last time the Titans didn’t have me.”
“We’ve known each other for a while, Hera, and now you, like everyone else, will suffer.”
Apparently my team had been losing…badly. So I did what any self-respecting Goddess would do in this situation. I cheated.
“Look, you’re not taking me back to those boring Gods who tried to stop me. Move out of my way before I smite you like those stupid mortals.”

“Ohhh, well excuse me for dying! I mean, look at those two assholes in robes over there. What is that…a prison?”
Atë’s face darkened with warning. “Don’t lecture me, freak. What would running in there and comforting her accomplish? Hm?”
“No one calls me a bitch.” I pointed my finger at her and whispered, “Boom,” and her body instantly fried with a lightning bolt.
“She blasted the windows open and out the window she flew. She’s been trying to smite people all over the city.” “Apparently, she was successful at least one time.”
Shot the king of the gods in the ass with an arrow, and now the queen of the gods wants my wings mounted on her wall.
“You should know. I will never love you,” he says coldly. My heart feels like it’s been stabbed multiple times by those words.
“You’re late.” bellowed the voice inside. I smirked. “Yeah, you’re pretty serious about that whole thing, aren’t you, Chronos?”
Clio would never leave Duck behind, not like this. The poor fox appears terrified, frantic.
“Wanna see? That is your power, right? Seeing the past. Want to see my dirty little secret?”
