The Life of a Titan

CHAPTER V

I spent many a day swimming in my clouded thoughts. I was facing internal turmoil, the likes of which I had never dealt with before. I could kill my father, take the throne for myself, and please my mother by doing so. Or, I could disobey my mother, and face her terrible wrath. If such an event took place, being erased would be the least of my worries. Although becoming king was appeasing, it meant I would have to kill Ouranus. As much of an old bastard he was, he was a powerful one. It was possible my father could have killed me before I so much layed a finger on him. IF I were to do this, I would not be able to do this on my own. I would have to enlist the help of my brothers, yet I was hesitant. I would prefer to not get them erased, along with me, because of my mother's disloyalty. The thought came to me then, why does she want me to be king? She could have chosen one of my elder brothers. Also, why did she refuse to accept her husband as king any longer? Did she want more power, and thought she could control me if I became king? These thoughts disturbed me greatly as the days crawled by. Soon, after about a month of pondering, I felt that I was ready to give an answer. I found my mother in the throne room that night.
