Chapter 2 - Finally Free

 3rd person POV

 Time went by and one by one the children on Rhea were swallowed by Cronus until one was left and was raised away from Cronus in secret, he grew powerful and once he got to a certain power level he knew he could fight back but he needed his siblings, so he tricked Cronus into drinking poisoned alcohol that made the Titan sick, sick enough to throw up his children imprisoned in his stomach, the God known as Zeus didn't hesitate, he took his siblings and ran until they were all hidden.

Rhea sat with Gaia in a small pocket realm waiting for Zeus, they didn't have to wait long before six men and woman came flying through the door, Rhea stood up with tears in her eyes, she rushed forward and hugged them all "my children are finally here" she sobbed, "yes mother, the plan went perfectly" Zeus said walking to a large chair at a table, the other followed and they all sat around a large round table, Rhea smiled and looked at each of her children, there was Zeus , Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hades and Hestia, "wait where your oldest brother" Rhea said looking around, "older brother, I thought I was the oldest" Hestia said looking confused, "no no you were my second, you brother was born before all" she said and tears started to flow down her face, she looked towards Gaia, "mother do you know where he is" she said grabbing Gaias hand, "I don't know, I'll be right back" then Gaia dissolved into the floor.

A week went by and all the gods trained their divinity's, Rhea watched still sad since Gaia isn't back on news of Aether, they she heard a sound and saw Gaia walk through the barrier of their small pocket realm, she looked conflicted, Rhea ran to her grabbing all her kids attention, they followed after her, "mother did you find him" Rhea asked, Gaia didn't say anything for a few minutes, "it's bad, I went to the fates and when I brought up Aether they were terrified" Gaia said with a white face, the gods looked at her confused, "why would they be terrified" Rhea asked, "Chaos spoke to them and we found out the truth" Gaia said then stopped speaking, "well what is it" Zeus said annoyed.

Gaia looked at Zeus and the other five Gods, and then to Rhea "Rhea, I hate to tell you this but Aether is not in this plane anymore, Cronus lied to everyone, he threw Aether to the compactor" Gaia said with a frown, "they also spoke of him not existing, that he should not be from this world, then Chaos started to release bloodlust and left".

Rhea looked at her mother in confusion, "what's the compactor" she questioned, Gaia spoke "the Compactor is a place between all dimensions, a prison that existed when time first began, where all of the worst creatures to ever exist were sent, then creatures that couldn't be killed and were so evil that if released they would start a massacre across the universe".

No one spoke for a long time "and father threw our brother there why" Hestia said with tears running down her face, "like I said, he's not supposed to exist, and chaos was very angry, it gave me the feeling of a scorned mother" Gaia said, "Then we need to go and get him" Rhea said, Gaia turned to her so sharply her neck cracked, "listen to me, all of you, there are beings in there trillions of years older than me, they are the worst of the worst, if you go and bring one back then this entire universe is over" Gaia spoke is a firm voice, "you need to take care of Cronus before anything happens".

And that's what happened, the Titanmachy happened, a war that covered the world.

In the worst prison to exist where time didn't flow Aether fought, if time existed he would have been fighting for billions of years, but he didn't care, he was angry, angry at his so called father, not Cronus, but God and his two siblings, he remembered everything, he was so happy to be in the presence of his father and siblings only to go from happy to terrified when his father attacked for no reason, and instead of helping him, his siblings joined his side, but those idiots didn't know what I could do, fighting in this prison helped find who he was and what he could do, he was MAGIC, and they sealed him with Magic, what idiots, he looked at his soul to see seals and runes and new immediately how to break them, but he chose not to, he would stay hidden for a little longer, he would get out of here and create his realm and once he does, he would show them why Magic ruled the multiverse, since he new a secret that his Father and I guess his mother Chaos didn't know, they were created by him, yes you heard right, Magic created God and Chaos, cause they didn't just appear out of no where no, he was there before everything, before the void, before space, just Magic, cause if you want to create something from nothing, then you need Magic, and when he was born, his memory's came back and new who he was, He was Everything and we would go back to his place at the top.

A thousand years went by and the gods finally defeated Cronus, the six plus Rhea and Gaia sat in the new city named Olympus, Zeus was Crowned God King, Poseidon became king of all seas and Hades became king of the underworld, Hades didn't care, he was a loner, so he didn't hesitate and he left, he used Shadow magic and appeared in the underworld, he looked around his desolate realm and couldn't help the smile on his lips, he started to travel around his realm for a long time until he made it to the center, and there was pitch black throne made of bones, he walked up several steps and sat down and once he did his powers fully awakened, his mind infused the entire realm, including Tartarus, when he looked around he stopped all of a sudden when he found a door, he pulled his mind back in his body and teleported to the door, it had no handle and looked completely sealed but for some reason he knew it was a door, as he was about to walk up to it a presence appeared behind him, he turned around quickly and a old man who wore all black stood there "don't young god, you won't survive if try and go in there" he said and looked at the door, "who are you" hades said getting ready for a fight, "you can call me Tartarus" he said but didn't quit looking at the door "nice to meet you sir, what is this" hades said pointed at the door, "Gaia told you before young god" "the compactor" hades said in a quiet voice and looked at it once more, just as hades was going to speak a crack sounded out that resounded around the entire underworld.

Hades and Tartarus pulled weapons out and stood side by side pointing at the door, it started to open slowly until it swung wide open, hades looked inside and saw fire and heard screaming, a screaming that sent a chill down the center of both their backs, the foot steps sounded, they were so loud it shook the entire underworld. 

Then a man appeared, he had pitch black skin with white hair and eyes that glowed, once he stepped fully out of the door it slammed close behind him, he tilted his head back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "finally free" he said, "who are you" Hades said, still ready for a fight, he glanced to his left only to find Tartarus on one knee shaking, "my lord Magic" he said, "ahh you know who I am, how" he man opened his eyes and looked at the kneeling Primordial, "I don't know my lord, the second you appeared I just knew, I could feel it in my soul" Tartarus spoke not daring to look up, then a humming sound appeared, Hades looked at this being seeing his eyes glowing brighter, "I see" he spoke, "you are mine aren't you, a being of spontaneous creation, you feel it don't you" he spoke, "yes my lord, I feel like I am now complete" he said with tears hitting the block rock he was kneeling on, "tell me now who you are" hades spoke threatening, then he found him self on the ground gasping for air as Tartarus held his throat, "do you want to die young god" He spoke in a cold voice, he stood up leaving Hades on the ground gasping for air, "I don't" hades choked out, "before you stands Magic of the Endless" Tartarus's voice boomed out, Hades looked to him confused and then to the being now named Magic, "the endless" hades asked, "stupid god, before we were even a thought there were the endless, the fundamental aspects of creation and before you stands the first" Tartarus said, "hmm" Magic said and closed his eyes, "I see" he said, "My Lord" Tartarus asked confused, "a lot has changed, it seems I have nieces and nephews" Magic said but all of a sudden his face turned thunderous, "they dare to erase me, they dare to forget about me, they throw me in prison for no reason" "what do you mean my Lord, I know who you are" "yes that's because you stand in my presence! If I hadn't, been you would have no clue, think back and tell me who the endless are" Magic said.

Tartarus stood there for a moment, "hmm let's see, there is the first two Time and Night, then born from those two were the seven, the first was Destiny, followed by Death and then Dream, followed closely by was Destruction, then the twins Desire and Despair, and finally the youngest Delirium, and then, and then….. what, you're right my Lord, I can't seem to remember you" Tartarus scratched his head, "exactly, my father and's siblings Time and Night attacked me right as I was born for no reason and sealed me, hahaha, but now I'm free" Magic said with a large smile, "what do you have planned my Lord" "my plan is to get revenge, but first I need to create my Realm, once that is done, I can announce my presence" Magic said and Tartarus nodded, "can I come my lord, all I do is sit here letting these little gods throw trash in my dimension, please my lord" he he fell to his knees, "yes you may follow, and what about you Hades, what will you do" Magic said and looked towards Hades, hades thought for a long while and asked a question, "what of the underworld, I can't just leave it, it's my new home" Hades said, Magic looked around, "bring it" Magic said, "how, I don't even know what my realm does" Hades said with a sad smile, Magic looked at him for a while and smiled, "I'll teach you, he then clapped his hands and the entire underworld began to shake and started to shrink until it was as large as a marble, Magic turned to Hades and handed it to him, "well let's go" Magic said and waved his hand and a glowing white portal appeared, and the three walked through and the course of the multiverse was never the same.
