The Young God Chronicles: Chapter 11

As Hestia and Hades returned to their seats Zeus and Hera rose. Zeus carried a spear while Hera grabbed two swords. The godlings stood apart from one another and assumed their fighting stances. The two sized each other up and waited for Oceanus to let them begin.

"Ready?" Oceanus called.

Hera and Zeus both nodded their heads and braced for the fight.

"Comence!" Oceanus shouted. Hera and Zeus lunged at each other but before their weapons could collide a violent earthquake knocked them off their feet. The room continued to shake for a moment before the face of Gaea appeared in the wall.

"Mother." Oceanus said bowing to the Earth Goddess. The godlings followed his example and kneeled before their Grandmother. Gaea nodded to the seven figures before her. They rose and she spoke.

"Oceanus you have done well training my granchildren for war. But now it is time for them to go on the attack. Their base is ready and they must begin immeadiatleyif they have any hope of defeating their father." Gaea explained.

Zeus spoke first. "What is the location of our new base?"

Gaea smiled to herself. "I have contructed your base and future home on the tall, snowcapped peak of Mount Olympus far to the north a strategic spot for you."
