How it Began (Introduction)

In the beginning there was only four brothers. They were not Olympians or gods but Titans of the most magnificent form. There was the Titan of Forethought, the Titan of Inner-thought and the Titan of Afterthought. The last brother loved the world that they created together so much that he decided to hold it up so it would never fall, thus completing the circle of creation.

 

On the first day after creating the Earth, the remaining three brothers looked upon the empty land and saw that it was too plain and empty. The Titan of Inner-Thought thought of filling it with animals. He came up with the idea of separating the sea animals from the birds and the birds from the land animals. However, after creating them, the brothers realized that the animals would soon kill off each other as the had no other means of gaining food. So the Titan of Forethought, used his foresight to analyze the situation and came up with the perfect solution.

“Let us Make Trees!” he said.

And at the sound of his voice, not only were trees formed, but all the other plants as well. At last, life could go on without any threat of extinction. The Titans all felt their work was done. All, with the exception of the Titan of Afterthought who could see into the future. He saw that life without someone with whom they could share thoughts and ideas would be meaningless. Sure talking to his brothers would soothe some of the pain but having a primitive being, who thinks and acts off of the need to survive and thrive, would open the world to new possibilities. He saw that they could finally get what they have always wanted, loyalty and a companion to share life with. So in the midst of the first summer’s eve, he carved three women from the earth soil, and made them the wives of his brothers. They were so pleased they turned the women into immortals and created him a wife whose beauty was equal to none and named her Pandora. 

To complete their ultimate plan, each Titan used part of their power and raised a massive city in the center of all the land on earth and named it Atlas. Each then created thousands of humans to populate the city and gave them knowledge so that they would know right from wrong. They also created other smaller cities around the globe and populated them as well. Then to complete all, they filled the minds of these new creations with the knowledge and understanding of war. It is said that the Titans believed, the only way to ensure the newly created humans would see them as supernatural beings, whom must be obeyed and praised, was to allow them to place themselves in situations where nothing but a Titan can save them.

 

The Titans lived among the humans in Atlas. They ruled over them and treated them all equally and were loved by all who laid eyes upon them. The wives of the Titans became Queens and the Three remaining brothers, rulers of Atlas. the fourth brother was to be the ruler of the underworld by his own choice. 

A few years passed and each wife bore each Titan a child. The Titan of Forethought, a boy, and so did the Titan of Inner-thought receive. But the Pandora did not bring forth a boy child as her husband, Titan of Afterthoughts has expected. Instead she gave birth to a girl whose hair was long and ever flowing in the air. They both loved her with all their heart and decided to call her Pyrrha. Her cousins, the children of the other Titans were Dionysus and Perseus. The people of Atlas rejoiced when the birth of the children was announced. They were born mortal in the sense that they could be killed but they were immortal as they would live forever naturally.

 

They were to be the first heirs to the thrones.
