I'm The Devil

Chapter 21: Planning and Metis

Realm of Greco, a hundred year later

A black haired man was standing on the very edge of a mountain as he took in the fresh breeze that flowed pass the mountain with a smile on his face.

"You know, this is call the work of nature, not Gaia" the man said to the people behind him.

"And what does that got to do with me?" One of the women with green hair who supposedly turned to be Gaia, the primal goddess of Earth and Nature asked the man in front of her.

The man turned around with a smile and looked at Gaia before turning back to what he was doing.

Gaia sighed when she didn't get any reply from Lucifer, who was the black hair man.

They are standing on the mountain which the Island was hidden in together with Adamantheia, Aphrodite, Rhea and Cynosura.

They are waiting for Zeus who is ready to go on his mission to usurp his father and save his siblings.

"Are you sure this plan is going to work, lady Gaia?"

Gaia turned to look at the person who just spoke and saw that it was Adamantheia "of course it will work, I've thought of this through and with what he has learnt from you all, this will be an easy job for him" Gaia said with utmost confidence.

A confidence which had not on Zeus but on her plan and the people who groomed and trained Zeus to be the man he is now especially Lucifer.

"We will just have to wait and see, I for one says, he can pull it off"

"Thank you Lucifer, we just have to put a little faith in the boy, he learnt from the bests so this should be child's play, what we should be worried about is the aftermath, Thanatos will not take it likely when Zeus releases his uncles locked up in Tartarus as he has found a good ways for them, creating weapons for him and the Titans with their blinded Loyalty towards Chronos which I tried to make sure to get rid of but to no avail with Themis alone listening to me which means the other Titans are with Chronos meaning Zeus must first release his siblings to get himself more allies to stand a chance against the God king"

Gaia told them most of what she prepared and what Zeus must do in other to have a fighting chance against his father.

Rhea nodded when she heard her mother's words "so in essence, Zeus does not have only the God king to contend against but also Thanatos, which means he must first release his siblings before even attempting to free the Hecatoncheires and the Cyclopes from under the watchful eyes of Thanatos, as doing that first, he will draw the attention of Chronos to himself sooner than later, sigh, things just got a lot complicated" Rhea was worried about the journey her son was about to embark on, it is filled with many ups and down.

They continued to talk about the plan and making sure everything was perfectly okay with the plan.

While they were doing that, Zeus, now a full grown man, very tall like 8ft and muscular due to his Titan heritage. His eyes were as if it contains the knowledge of the Cosmos and there is nothing that can be hidden from his eyes.

He wore a white long robe (Chiton) and a cloak (Himaton).

He strode towards the group that were busy going over the plan and announced his presence to them.

Rhea immediately turned to see her boy who has now became a man "you ready for this?"

Running a hand through his face, Rhea asked Zeus with a motherly smile.

Zeus held her hands and kissed it "I'm ready Mother, I have been ready my whole life for this day" Zeus said before looking at everyone who was looking back at him.

Adamantheia who watched over Zeus since he was a boy was also a little emotional to part ways with him and worried for him because of the perilous journey ahead of him.

"Boy, this is going to be a difficult journey, you have two forces that you are going to offend and they are not to be taken likely with, we talking about the god of Death and the God king, Chronos, the Titan of Time. You will have to be careful in whatever you do and you need someone by your side until you start your rebellion"

Going over to Zeus, Adamantheia hugged him tightly and said this words to him before she separated from him.

She looked towards a tree and a white dove flew from it and came to them before transforming into a beautiful blue hair woman with blue eyes of the ocean just like her father, the Titan of the Oceans and Sea, Oceanus from Tethys.

"This is Metis, the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, you can think of her as your cousin. She came over to our side because she knew that the Titans are going to lose the war, so she wants you to spare her parents in exchange of her servitude"

Gaia was the one to introduce the beautiful lady to Zeus who was already captivated and mesmerized by how beautiful the lady was.

Hearing the name Metis, Lucifer finally turned around and saw the woman, the woman who came up with all the plans and strategy's which led the Olympians to win the war against the Titans, Metis, the goddess of good counsel, planning, cunning and wisdom and all she got was her being swallowed by the very man she helped because he was afraid of his rule being threatened by his own child.

Lucifer sighed and wondered why the gods of the Greek myths always have a son always fighting against their father for the throne to the extent, they even made a game called the God of War, another son of Zeus with a mortal, Kratos who sought revenge against Zeus who feared that Kratos was going to kill him someday.

[Such a complicated family problem, well not my problem, I just wanted to see the one who would give birth to Athena who would cursed someone, someone I would very much like to see, Medusa] Lucifer thought as he went back to feeling the sweet cold breeze.

Metis stood still as she was surrounded by important figures, people who would shake the Cosmos and her future Husband and father of her children, Zeus, the Sky Father and king of the Olympians.

Since from birth, Metis had found out that she has the ability to peer into the future, that is what's been helping her and earn her the title, the goddess of good counsel, planning, cunning and wisdom.

Now, she had a vision of an upcoming war between the Olympians and the Titans. The Olympians were the names the New gods gave them self as they settled on a mountain known as Mt. Olympus and made it their base of operation, she saw how Zeus and his siblings together with the Hecatoncheires and the Cyclopes and a large swarm of new creatures known as Daemons destroyed the Titans including her parents, that's why she was here, she came here to make sure her parents survived.

She straightened herself and looked at Zeus "I'm Metis, the goddess of good counsel, planning, cunning and wisdom, I will be assisting you in your journey against the Titans and all I ask of you is my parents survival, that's all I ask of you, O, sky father"

After saying that, she went on her knees to show her submission and loyalty to Zeus.

Lucifer was surprised to see her take such an action as this is was actually a surprise to him. He knew that Metis shouldn't even be here in the first place because Zeus would be the one to seek her out and ask for her help but here she was swearing her loyalty to him.

He knew she must have saw something that truly terrified her to this extent but he could not pinpoint what that was.

Lucifer smiled when he thought about how future events would unfold and he can't wait for it.
