The Crown of Kronos: The Four Locations

SPOILER
(PURELY FICTIONAL)

When Ouranos had fallen into the sea, Gaea, before her slumber, had given Kronos, said to be her most favored son among the Titans, a great golden crown to symbolize him as the king of the earth.

But at the end of the first Titan War, Kronos was cast in the dark pits of Tartarus and his crown fell to the hands of the gods. Zeus wanted to claim it as his, for he was the mightiest, king of them all. Hera chided him, for the crown had unspeakable powers and it might destroy Zeus.

So Athena stepped forward and spoke to them her idea. So then the crown was set before Zeus, who was holding his master bolt. With a lash of his hand the golden crown broke into four pieces.

Athena gave them to four demigods, and entrusted them a mission to hide them where no servant of evil can find them.

After five generations of searching for a hiding place, four demigods whose ancestors were the searchers, found the perfect places.

The first was the Stonehenge, rumored to be a hidden entrance to the Underworld. The demigod who hid a piece was a son of Hades, and he felt no shortage of breath or despair. Mortals, or other demigods not in the bloodline of Hades, will feel anger, despair and will barely breathe, making it a truly mysterious place.

When the Eiffel Tower was newly built, a daughter of Aphrodite thought perfect to hide a piece of the crown in there. At the top floor, while the people of Paris crowded around to marvel at the sight of the city, she secretly hid a piece behind the portrait of the architect.

Somewhere in New York, the son of Athena was one of the architects of the Cloisters museum, and he wisely hid the piece in a stone basin he created and placed it in a garden, which is now known as the Cloisters Garden.

In San Francisco, the ancient prison of Alcatraz was where the daughter of Apollo hid. When the time came for renovation, she built a staircase, in where she disguised the fourth piece as stone and put it as part of the fifth stair.

And for fifty years, no one asked of where the pieces of Kronos' crown was hidden. No one searched for them.

Until now.
