A ‘Story from the Aether’ Teaser!

Enjoy this excerpt from Book 2 Gaia: The Tree of Life….

Cronos foresaw the disaster way before anyone else could have guessed. Rhea, in completing her part of the plan veered too close to Ouranos while warming Mnemosyne’s Lake, and even as she was sliding past during her aphelion and being flung out to her perihelion, away from land, they all realized that her next dive toward Ouranos would be her last.

Cronos acted as soon as he realized her plight, as rhea came falling back through the sky falling closer and closer to her doom, Cronos released his grasp of Zeus, along with all other non-essential body material that he could live without and still complete his task. Zeus immediately pulled every last bit of that matter into his structure, growing exponentially, while also increasing the strength of his electromagnetic field gifted to them from Mother. As Zeus and Cronos, now a tiny shell of his former glory, drifted together, they maneuvered their bodies to the necessary point of trajectory and then Zeus gathered his magnetic field behind him and with every ounce of strength he possessed he reversed it, propelling the field forward, and as he did this Cronos lifted his own field and used it like a shield to fend off Zeus’s blow and as the two forces met, for the first time ever they beheld an unbelievable  sight, as bolts of lightning began cascading from the center of the impact in all directions, giving off the loudest boom any of them had ever heard.

The strike was designed to send Cronos careening towards Rhea for a last-ditch attempt at saving her, and it worked perfectly, Zeus’s aim was spot on, moments later Cronos slammed into Rhea from underneath, propelling her upwards, back towards the sky, and safety…and Cronos last thoughts as he Himself was thrust the opposite way…directly into the maelstrom below, was of success!

Finally, as Cronos plunged to the ground, the other Titans could hear his last words as he made one final vow… “I paved the way to the Sky and a better Life, I will now do the same for what lies below…

Thank Mother! Rhea and the children live on!”
