Hekate: The Witch (Goddesses of the Underworld #1)

In Horror, My Mind Pieced the Aftermath Together

So this was how a God was destroyed.

This was how they ensured Titans

would never rise up again against

these brand-new Gods.

I felt my knees weaken,

the brutality of the truth

almost too much for my small body

to handle.

It wasn’t enough to defeat us.

They had to take every God

who stood up against them

and drain them of their blood.

Blood they built palaces on,

rejoiced on and ruled from

in their beautiful Olympus.

How did they forget,

when they walked upon

those golden floors every day,

that the surface they walked on,

the gold of their beautiful mountain,

came from the blood of those

they once called family ?
