Let me tell you the story of how it all began.

Long before the gods roamed Olympus, there were two ancient beings: Gaia, Mother Nature, and Phanes, the father of the universe. Together, they stood in the cosmos, filled with a vision of what could be, and from that shared dream, they set out to create a world unlike any other. This world would become the Olympus we know today—a realm of breathtaking beauty, endless wonder, and boundless potential.

The Creation of a World: Gaia’s Imagination Brought to Life

Phanes loved Gaia more than words could express, and to show his love, he gave her the opportunity to paint the world of Olympus as she imagined it. Gaia, with her deep appreciation for the wonders of nature and life, embraced this gift wholeheartedly. She envisioned a world bursting with vibrant colors, where every corner shimmered with life and light, and where crystal-clear waters danced under the sky. Her imagination gave rise to landscapes where every sunrise painted the sky in breathtaking hues, each more radiant and beautiful than the last.

She shaped mountains that soared high, valleys that whispered with gentle winds, and lush fields that bloomed with every color imaginable. The world of Olympus became a living canvas, a reflection of Gaia’s deepest desires and dreams. Together, Gaia and Phanes walked through this creation, lost in the wonder of what they had brought to life. But even in the midst of this beauty, Gaia felt that something was missing.

The Spark of Life: Gaia’s Creations

Gaia wanted more than just landscapes and empty fields; she yearned for life to fill this world, to see beings thrive and grow in the wonder she and Phanes had created. So, Gaia set to work, creating beings of all shapes and sizes, each with a unique place in Olympus. There were minotaurs and centaurs, dwarves and giants, griffins and dragons, wizards and witches, fairies, and goblins. The world began to hum with life, as each creature brought its own magic and energy to Olympus.

But Gaia’s most cherished creation was yet to come. Her second-to-last act of creation brought forth the mortals—fragile, delicate beings who stood in stark contrast to the mighty creatures that roamed the land. There was an innocence about them, a sense of wonder that Gaia found captivating. She watched as they began to build cities, establish marketplaces, and forge their own way in this new world. There was something pure, something worth protecting in the mortal race, and Gaia felt a deep sense of responsibility for them.

The Guardian of Olympus: The Birth of Kronos

As the world of Olympus flourished, Gaia and Phanes realized that the mortals would need a protector—someone who could watch over them and keep them safe from the dangers that lurked in the shadows. Together, they conceived a son, a being who would be the ultimate guardian of their world. Phanes named him Kronos, and he was to be the perfect leader for the world that Gaia had brought to life.

But raising a god wasn’t a simple task. Gaia and Phanes were creators, not parents, and they struggled with how to nurture and guide this young being. It was Phanes who suggested that Kronos should be raised by the world itself, to learn from its challenges and find his strength amidst its trials. After all, how could he protect a world he did not truly understand?

A Harsh Reality: Kronos’s Journey Through Olympus

Olympus was a wild and untamed world at this time. There were no rulers, no kings, no one to bring order to the chaos. Every creature, every being, was fighting for its place, and for young Kronos, this was no different. He grew up in the heart of Novaris City, a bustling and unforgiving place where the strong thrived, and the weak were left behind.

Kronos was different from anyone else, and in a world that feared what it didn’t understand, he quickly became a target. The streets of Novaris were cruel, and Kronos faced relentless bullying and scorn from those who saw him as an outsider. It was in these harsh streets that Kronos learned the realities of power, pain, and perseverance. It was here that the seeds of ambition and determination were planted, seeds that would one day grow into the leader who would rise to claim Olympus as his own.

Kronos’s journey was not one of privilege or comfort—it was forged in the fires of adversity, and it was this experience that would shape him into the fearsome ruler the world.
