177. It All Happened Suddenly
It All Happened Suddenly
No sooner had we returned to our palace
than Perses was summoned to the halls
of Hyperion. He was told by the Titans
that the threat from Zeus needed a response.
That it would be his duty to devise
this counterattack. Pallas was told
his role would be to make weaponry
for the Titan Gods who stood against Zeus.
During this time, every Titan God
was to stay at Kronos’s palace
while they created this strategy.
Every Titanide, nymph, and Goddess
was meant to look after the new
brood of Titan children throughout this,
but our movements were limited
in case a surprise attack was launched
onto our homes by these unpredictable
Olympians. A golden cage for golden Gods.
I tried to create harmony
by making a garden of herbs, building my altars,
communicating with my Oracles.
But the prophecies revealed little.
Only the falling of ichor from the skies.
Only the sound of Gods screaming in the night.
