Long ago, In a time when the world was
still ruled by Uranus, It was total chaos and destruction. Uranus was the worst
ruler of the universe. His son Cronus hated him. He devised a plan to kill him.
One day, when Uranus was asleep. He took out his sickle and sliced up his
father into a million pieces and threw him in tartatus. He then took his throne
as the ruler of the universe.
You would think he was a good ruler.
You’re wrong. He was far worse than Uranus. He had a lot of children like the
gods you know today like Zeus and Poseidon but he also had this one child who
was weak but very wise. His name was Chiron, He was born a grown man. But he
wasn’t all man. He was actually the first ever centaur. Half man, half horse.
Cronus was ashamed of him so instead of eating him like what he did to the
gods, He banished him into the far away lands.
Chiron pleaded Cronus to give him his
sickle to use as protection from the outside world. Cronus boringly agrees
since he has no use of the sickle. Chiron then used the sicle against his
father slashing his stomach. Out came one of Cronus children from his stomach
but the wound quickly healed so the child was the only one who got out. Chiron
quickly wrapped the baby in a piece of cloth and ran safely away from Cronus
palace. He went into a cave and raised the child as one of his own and called
her, Artemis.
Several years later, Artemis was fully
grown and ready for battle. Chiron told her that he was actually his brother
and that they were immortal. Artemis then told him that she had a dream about
one of the children of Cronus named Zeus also escaped his father and was
somewhere far away training and raised by a few nymphs. They set out a journey
to find this so called Zeus. When they finally found him, they were amazed of his
powers. Zeus was a strong and powerful man. He could order the sky to give him
some thunderbolt which he can use to destroy mountains. They asked him to
accompany them in their quest to free their brothers and sisters inside Cronus
by making him sick so he could vomit them out. Zeus thought the plan was disgusting
but he agreed.
Chiron called upon his brothers, the centaurs
to rally Cronus’ fortress. In the end Chiron using his sickle, Artemis used her
trusty bow and Zeus used his powerful thunderbolts and they ripped apart their father’s
stomach and all of his children came out and they all became Olympians. Chiron, however wanted to live his immortal life training the children of the gods so
one day they could vanquish evil if the gods needed them.
