Wrath of The Titans

## History

### The Gospel Truth

A legend existed that the children of Cronus and Rhea would overthrowing the Titans. Cronus had successfully eaten five of his children, but when it came for Zeus to be eaten, Rhea had placed a Rock where her son would normally be. Cronus would wonder the newly formed Earth until the day Zeus returned and beat the ever living crap out of the Titans. When it came to Cronus, Zeus would rip open his Father's stomach in order to free his siblings. After freeing his siblings, Zeus created Tartarus, a prison that could contain the overthrown Titans. Pluto volunteered to watch over this new Dimension as it's ruler. Banished to Tartarus for the rest of eternity, Cronus would muster what strength he had left to create two new Titans. Tirek and Scorpan

### Calm Before the Storm

Sent to Earth to watch humanity grow to a point where the pain of it's destruction would haunt Zeus for the rest of his life, Tirek thought it would be amusing to stealthily drain the strength of a group of travelers. What Tirek didn't know was that these travelers had Kratos with them. Kratos would attack Tirek, viewing him as just another wild Titan Spawn left behind after Cronus's defeat. While the two were fighting, Tirek would drain Kratos of some of his strength, before escaping into a nearby cave. While in the cave, Tirek started to grow in both size and strength.

Scorpan would arrive a few months later than Tirek. Unlike his brother, Scorpan wanted to watch the humans to see if they were actually threats. Wandering Greece, Scorpan came across the land of Sparta. There, he met a young girl who didn't seem that afraid of the Titan. Scorpan would grow a friendship with the girl and her people, before Tirek arrived.

### Wrath of The Titans

When Tirek arrived at Sparta to find his Brother bonding with Humans, he felt betrayed. Lashing out with anger, the Titan lay waste to Sparta, killing any human he saw. Scorpan would try to save as many people as possible, rescuing the young girl Cadence before she shared the same fate as her parents. With most of Sparta annihilated, Tirek would start heading for Athens. Scorpan, with the use of his wings, would travel to Mount Olympus to warn the gods of what was happening. Meanwhile, Kratos and a group of Spartans where returning from battle to find their home in ruins. Searching through the rubble, Kratos would find the bodies of his dead Wife and Daughter. Kratos and his men would find a survivor of the attack who informed them that a Titan had done it. Suddenly realizing what was happening, and that the group had met the Titan only a few months prior, Kratos came to the conclusion that he was at fault. The God of War would help his Spartan brothers bury the dead, with Kratos merging his Wife and Daughters ashes to his skin as a reminder of the mistake he had made, before setting himself into a self exile.

Word would reach the Titan Spawn of Tirek the Merciless, the one to topple Sparta, resulting in a boost of motivation amongst the creatures. The Titan Spawn decided unanimously that they would all meet up with Tirek and help him conquer Athens. While travelling, a group of Titan Spawn had the ill chance of crossing paths with the Demi-God Hercules. Asking the creatures where they were going, the warrior Hercules travelled to Athens as fast as he could to warn its people. During this time Tirek was slowly making his way towards the city, more and more Titan Spawn joining him each day.

At Mount Olympus, Scorpan revealed to the Pantheon that he was a Titan sent to destroy humanity, but after spending time with them, he grew connected with the people of Greece and would feel guilty if any harm was to come to them. At that moment Kratos arrived, dragging a hoard of Titan Spawn on his back. Kratos would tell the Pantheon that Tirek was his responsibility before leaving for Zeus's forgery. Their, Kratos would spend a month constructing weapons strong enough to kill the Titan Tirek. Scorpan volunteered to take Kratos to Athens to try and talk Tirek out of destroying the city.

The pair would arrive at Athens one day before Tirek and the Titan Spawn attacked. Meeting up with Hercules, the Scorpan would put together a plan to take down his Brother without resorting to the Blades of Chaos. While they were talking, Kratos went off to beat the ever living crap out of Tirek. With Tirek pre-occupied with Kratos, the Titan Spawn travelled to Athens to Conquer the City. Hercules and Scorpan struggled at first, but then along came Zeus. The God assisted the duo in defending Athens, protecting Greece's capital, and wiping out almost all of the remaining Titan Spawn. The Trio would travel to the ongoing battle between Tirek and Kratos, arriving just as the God of War was about to kill the Titan. Zeus would stop Kratos from killing Tirek, explaining that he had a cell specially made for him in Tartarus.

### Aftermath

Tirek spends his days sitting in a cage within Pluto's Throne Room, waiting for the time where he can enact his revenge on his Brother and the Humans he protected.

Seeing the young Cadence upset, Celestia, Goddess of the Sun, adopted her as a Niece. Cadence would eventually become a Goddess herself, gaining the title: Goddess of Compassion.

After Banishing himself, Kratos would wonder the Earth Alone, having a small hatred for Zeus for not allowing him to have his revenge.

Scorpan would spend his remaining days in Athens before a group of humans attacked and killed him in a ritual sacrifice. Statues were made in his honour and are more commonly known today as Gargoyles.
