Sea of Stars: Interlude Part 4

Honor Through Moonlit Dance

(In the banquet Hall of Atlantis)

"All done, Frostine." A warm chuckle escaped the titan's mouth as he just witnessed the feeding of his hybrid 6-month-old daughter. However, some habits never change, as Krystallos still tore up the meat that was provided to make it easier for the baby to feed (she got little chompers that work for a six-month-old hybrid). Watching through gentle glacial eyes, he gently picked up Frostine and tapped her back, gently burping her to release gas buildup from her stomach. And from the way that this little demititan devoured the meal presented to her, with the addition of milk...It is very much needed.

"Papa, thought you were going to accidentally choke on your food, little one." The Ice King spoke, his voice gentle like a refreshing breeze yet warm as the first sunrise. Nuzzling Frostine when she made happy babbling sounds, Krystallos exhaled as he managed to sneak something to eat for himself while feeding his daughter (Let's just say he hadn't eaten in a while... That's all I'm saying).

When Frostine began to curl up close to her father's chest, it was a common sign that she was ready for her nap. "Alright, let's get you settled." Getting up from the chair he was sitting in the palace's banquet hall, which he was allowed to use through the permission of Starseidon. But looking up through a window that peered into the sea, a gentle sigh escaped. "The full moon rises..." Krystallos spoke with a reverent, yet known sadness that is present in his tone. "It's time then."

(Five snow fairies later.)

"Star...Will you slow down?" The voice of QuasarsHades rang out as he tried to keep up with one of his younger brothers, Starseidon. Ever since the fiasco with NovaZeus, QuasarsHades went to apologize on the youngest brother's behalf to Krystallos after sending the King of the Gods to the Zodiac realm (Enjoy your present, Aquarius ;3), thinking that the titan's heat was taken care of. That proved to be wrong, as he found his middle brother ripping into a servant about letting his new lover leave Atlantis without his permission. "

Now QuasarsHades has to deal with a very pissed-off and impatient younger brother who is holding the titan's hybrid 6-month-old baby near his bosom to keep her from crying. "Just like Polyphemus." The King of the Underworld chuckled to himself while continuing to walk, "The poor thing must have horrible separation anxiety after waking up from her nap without her dad." But looking back at Starseidon, the King of the Underworld's thoughts shifted from being reminded of his cyclops nephew to "I wish I stayed home."

"I will not slow down, Hades." Starseidon finally responded, trying to keep it together, when actually his impatience is growing to the max...Holding his titan lover's child is helping, but not that much (Star please...Fight the power...You'll get spicy tango later >:^.).

"Papa escaped again?!" A familiar voice rang out as Eva teleported with Demetri, trying to hold her back from going off the handle.

"Eva, please calm down." The Dragon Goddess said as the Goddess of Lust began to wiggle around like an otter caught in a net.

"Demetri let go...I have to drag Papa back to Father." Eva said, trying to get out of her protector's grip, yet pouted when she was not able to.

"I know Eva...Uncle is becoming a real pain right now." Demetri sighed while keeping an eye on Eva...Making sure she doesn't disappear on her. "We'll find him."

"And once we do, that titan is in so much trouble." Starseidon huffed in irritation, causing his older brother to sigh in defeat.

(Meanwhile at the beach)

"This brings back memories." Standing alone on the cool shoreline with thoughts of the past, Krystallos gazed up at the silver glow emitting from the moon, remembering the only two times when he last danced. Once, he danced in honor of Starseidon's and Fishyseidon's relationship; the other was more of a ritual that he did in honor of the mortal woman who passed away in his arms, near the sea that the titan once loved to be around.

Taking off the cloak that resembled a void without light, the clothing underneath was both simple and elegant, with the color of glacial ice turning into a darker blue further down the outfit, representing the ocean depths. There was a silver accent to the outfit, making it look like falling snow. Krystallos' hair was braided to keep it out of his face. The titan also wore a silver circlet with a simple moonstone center. To be honest, this combination made the titan appear more feminine; along with the lean figure, he could very much pass for a woman (not that he cared). But the feeling of being watched instantly turned into feelings of distaste and annoyance, "This is not the first time that this happened." These were the thoughts of the Ice King as he rubbed his temples, already plotting something to get rid of those who dared to lay eyes on him. "Guess I have to deal with the interlopers now before I can do my performance or anything else, really."

"Care to dance on this fine moonlit night?" The Ice King asked, voice soft spoken and paired with a warm, yet charming smile as he turned his head to face the nearest intruder, but what he saw next made him go pale and raise his eyebrow in confusion. "Starseidon." The titan began to speak. "Why do you look like you wish to devour me whole?"

To Be Continued~

After feeding his 6-month-old daughter, a full moon arises, and memories must be honored. But leaving the underwater palace without a word and a search, Krystallos may have gotten more than he bargained for, especially when seen in clothing that makes him more appealing, and this time, there is no getting out of this one (Enjoy your Christmas present, Star ;3) Starseidon and QuasarsHades belong to @aquariusthevisionary

She hopes he likes them and wish that they can maybe hang out and talk ^^

And she does have a crush on him >:3

Oh... these flowers are... pretty. They smell nice, too... Right... he's seen her before. With Thanatos. He's told him about her before, but they've never quite had a one on one, huh? He fidgets with the plastic wrapped around the bouquet before speaking. "Thanks... you know... these flowers... kind of match your hair."

Sea of Star's Interlude: Part 5

More chaos and a whale's song

In a dense forest miles away from the beach, from where the titan once stood, the thoughts of Krystallos are currently in panic mode: "How feral is this Sea God?!!! This is just a dress!!!" they screamed into the endless chaos of the mind during the predicament that has occurred. A few moments ago, Starseidon actually pounced on Krystallos, but to the sea god's displeasure, his titan lover had him in his arms (Jumped right into that one, Star).

"Put me down, Krystallos." The Sea God demanded, "I've told you countless times before that I hate being picked up and the reason for it."

"You did this to yourself when pouncing on me, you feral sea god." Krystallos retorted, but no malice was found in his voice. Just a calmness that is trying to de-escalate the situation, which only heightened the annoyance from the Sea God he is holding.

"Put me down, or I'll tell Luna to bite your ankles." Starseidon threatened, only narrowing his eyes when his titan lover raised his brow. "What? Don't think I'll do it?" He asked, a smug smirk appearing from the corner of his mouth.

"No...I'm just thinking about the possibility that Luna will have a nasty experience with the nebula toxin within my blood." The titan said, gaze turning to his sea god lover... The smug smirk turned into a cold scowl. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that," Krystallos said internally when seeing the expression on Starseidon's face...It was not pretty.

"Not a wise move in threatening your lover's children, unless you want to lose him faster than you got him." A familiar voice spoke. earning a sigh from the ice king. (Smug and arrogant as always...How did he get out of the Zodiac realm >:^ ).

"I was not threatening Luna, Lord NovaZeus." The titan sighed, turning his head to face the God King. "I'm just warning Starseidon that if he goes through with this, Luna will end up hurt by the nebula toxin that resides in my blood...A gift from your Uncle Koios."

The two gods then glared when Krystallos mentioned Koios, the older brother of the two, who spoke up. QuasarHades was listening to the conversation. "I'm surprised you are not feeling the effects. after having it within your body for quite a while now," The King of the Underworld commented, earning a confused look from his two younger brothers before looking back at Krystallos...More like NovaZeus looked confused at the titan...Starseidon, on the other hand, turned into a possessive barnacle clinging to the former executioner (May have dug his sharp nails into the scars on his lover's back without knowing...Not that Krystallos will tell his lover that hurts out loud).

"I may have made it my own in a way," Krystallos said, his voice taking a much more sheepish tone, "And kind of built up immunity to it, but it was much more slowler then expected." The admission was there, but seeing the Big Three locking eyes on him. As if the brothers are processing what was said by the titan.

"So hypothetically..." NovaZeus began slowly, but the tone of his voice instantly caused Krystallos eyes to slowly change. "You would be able to inflict the same toxin as Koios?" the god king asked, waiting for the answer of the titan that Starseidon chose as his lover.

"Nova." Starsiedon hissed, looking at his younger brother with a scowl as QasuarHades gave him a disapproving gaze, but the God king waited for an answer.

With an exhale of cold air, Krystallos looked Nova Zeus in the eyes and gave him an answer, "Yes. Freezing would also be an added side effect on my part."

"Well, aren't you being honest today?" The smirk on NovaZeus' face began to rub Krystallos the wrong way...Like any smirk on Zeus would. "And here I thought you would actually..." he paused, extending the sentence to make a point.

"He wanted me to deny it and then lie. Like I did in the past," Krystallos said internally, gritting his teeth, but he already had a question of his very own, just in case. "So, you disapprove of me being your brother's lover?" Still keeping his gaze on the God King, as the silence between the three brothers stretched to an uncomfortable length. Krystallos, however, waited for the answer he knew was the truth and wanted to hear it for himself. When there was no answer given, the titan put Starseidon down and managed to get the Sea god's nails out of his back via a forehead kiss (Blushy Tsuntsun Star is a cute Star <3) before disappearing into the wind itself.

"Uncle NovaZeus." A hiss escaped, causing the God King to groan...Knowing that it was his niece who tormented him.

"Yes, Eva." The God King responded, giving a forced smile that didn't reach his eyes (Cue the chaos that happened after word).

"Why didn't I just go home?" QuasarHades lamented, hearing the screaming match between Eva and NovaZeus. Though he raised his brow when Demitri sighed and rubbed her temples. "Something the matter, Demitri?" The Lord of the Underworld, as the Dragon Goddess, approached, holding the demititan infant, the daughter of Krystallos.

"Eva tried using her powers on Krystallos. But..." Demitri paused for a moment. "Eva ended up using it on Starseidon instead." The dragon goddess sighed as QuasarHades facepalmed, groaning in annoyance.

"My guess is that Star went to find Krystallos?" The Lord of the Dead asked.

"Yep," Demitri responded, but then she turned her gaze to him. "Not only that, but....I felt a presence near the beach off of Ithaca. It felt almost like Star's but different...Like it's searching for someone."

"Searching?" QuasarHades questioned, as the interest of Eva and NovaZeus was piqued as well. "Searching for who?"

(Meanwhile, on a boat off the shores of Ithaca.)

Sitting on a fishing boat in his mortal form, Krystallos sighed, looking at the horizon as the sun began to set. Beautiful colors of oranges, pinks, and purples filled the sky as the disguised titan began to calm the raging emotions within his being. Even though NovaZeus' silence was uncomfortable, it told him everything he needed to know. "I shouldn't be surprised." He sighed, placing his cheek on the railing of the boat while other mortals prayed to Poseidon (Starseidon in this case) for a good catch of fish.

As time went by, a beautiful, yet haunting melody was heard from above the waves, causing both the disguised titan and mortals to tilt their heads in confusion and awe.

"Was that a whale?" A mortal male in his late 40's asked the rest of his crew. Krystallos, on the other hand, looked down into the sea, hearing the calls of the whale as if recognizing the sound.

"Eleutheros, where are you going, lad?" another mortal called out as the disguised titan ran to the helm of the ship, panicked and certain.

"There's no mistake, but how the hell did he find me?" The disguised titan said within his thoughts before stopping at the helm of the ship, and with his sky blue eyes, gazed right at the one making those whale sounds...A large man with the color of grey for skin and black for locks, looking down with a warm gaze as the man named Eleutheros looked up.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you...Love." The man lowered his face closer, eyes the color of the clearest ocean water locked on Eleutheros, a powerful tail fluke curled around the fishing boat, making sure it didn't move.

Krystallos, in his mortal disguise, breathed, as almost a faint whisper, eyes widening in surprise and shock, seeing a ghost from his past. The one that left him the trident scar on his lower chest area, "Ren."

To be continued~

Tension blooms into chaos follows as a lover's spat runs into a question that a certain God King doesn't answer...But as Krystallos left to calm his nerves, a familiar ghost from his past found the ice king while fishing with mortals. Someone that he never thought he would ever see again. Especially after that fateful day. The day that his previous lover left him for dead by his own hand...(Hopefully, Starseidon doesn't freak out and get possessive when his other self tries to get back with Krystallos...Even though his other self is the reason why there is a scar on the ice king's lower chest.)

(Poseidonverse meet Sirenposeidon, or Renseidon for short...He is based on the Humpback whale due to the haunting yet beautiful melodies that whales can produce, sirens, deceptively calm water (With dangerous currents underneath), and the whale from the story Moby Dick :3...But he still has that nasty temper and a deep, bordering obsessive grudge against Odysseus...Odys...Please do not go near this one if you wish to live T3T...)

Working on Valentines day: Part 1

"Another order down." A tired yet satisfied smile appeared on Krystallos's face as he admired his creation, a silver necklace featuring an emerald and pearl pendant with a matching earring set that is specialized to fit finned ears. Being a craftsman who specializes in creating beautiful pieces of jewelry is a fulfilling job for the titan; it is also very demanding of him. And there are only a few times when creating exquisite pieces turns into non-stop labor, and this is one of those times. In three days, it is a celebration that mortals call Valentine's Day. For craftsmen like Krystallos, however, there is no celebration, as they are the ones working on that day, the whole day.

Grabbing an open pouch that was hand-woven to his left, the titan craftsman gently placed the finished pieces inside, which were then placed inside a Pyxis (Box) that was hand-carved beforehand with details of the sea. "That's done," Krystallos spoke as he set the box aside with the other boxes, all of which contained pieces of jewelry that he worked on throughout the day, without a single break from early in the morning to almost midnight. And there is still more to be done.

"Whoa...I kind of forgot how much work you can do once you are locked in."

"Hmm?" Both pointed ears twitched at the sound of the familiar voice. Turning his head, Krystallos's eyes widened at the sight of a mountain nymph standing at the door to the room he was staying in. Recognizing his colleague and old friend by her eyes that looked like molten lava, "Peak? Is that you?"

"The one and only." The mountain nymph chuckled before stepping inside, her skin as smooth as the finest porcine with hair the color of hardened magma cooled in water. "Need help with this mess." She giggled, gesturing to the handful of pyxison on the desk where the titna was sitting.

"If it is not too much trouble for you," Krystallos responded. The formality and the politeness in his tone caused his colleague to laugh warmly, causing a brow to rise. But the titan brushed it off and went back to work.

"Well...If you insist." Peak said before walking over to the desk and helping her colleague with his task.

(Three sea bunnies and a lot of catching up later.) "Your workflow hasn't changed much, Krystallos." Peak said as she came back, handling the orders that were finished, but sighed when she saw that her fellow craftsman went back to work.

"I like being punctual...That's all." The titan said as his retort, but it was lighthearted, even if his face didn't show it. "I take it that you got all the orders to their rightful owners."

"Yup..." *The mountain nymph, as she lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. "The one who got the order for the emerald and pearl set...I think her name was Amphitrite, but her skin was purple ...She was completely surprised and grateful when I handed her the order, as it was for her husband, Jellysiedon." Peak continued recounting the events that had taken place. "You should have seen her face when she saw the pieces of jewelry that you created to confirm it was what she got him, Krystallos..She couldn't stop asking me to bring you over to thank you properly."

"I'm glad she enjoyed them." The titan said, but there was no pride in his tone. Only a small smile that he always has when his customers are happy with the results he has given them. "It was a pleasure to create a piece for the Queen of the Sea."

"Stop being so modest." Krystallos' mountain nymph colleague sighed, but that sigh had no real irritation. "You always go above and beyond for your customers. Take some pride in that." Peak was already off the bed and playfully punched the titan's shoulder, which didn't hurt. "Besides, if you don't stop talking like that...I may want to take you out on a date."

"You what?" Krystallos asked, turning to Peak as she stuttered and backtracked on what she said. Face going red.

"Nothing." She said, giving a nervous smile, but the blush never went away. Even as Krystallos went back to work, Peak looked down at the floor, her mind racing through thoughts of the past. "Even back then, when you tried to court me. I was just to afriad to accept you as you were...But seeing you now...I want to-"

"Krystallos???" A different voice sounded as both colleagues turned their heads to the voice. Having two distinct reactions. The titan turned his whole body to face this person, while the mountain nymph gave a forced, polite smile.

"Star? What are you doing up? Shouldn't you be with Fishy, Amphitrite, and Demitri?" Krystallos asked, his voice gentle as he got up from his chair...Confusing the mountian nymph whose hand was hovering over his shoulder, but is now at her side

"You know him, Krystallos?" Peak asked, tilting her head in confusion. But as Krystallos nodded, she visibly relaxed. "Why the hell is he looking at me like I'm an unwanted insect?"

"Starseidon," Krystallos said.* "This is my colleague and fellow craftsman Mourning Peak, the mountian nymph."

"Pleasure to meet you." *The mountian nymph said with a smile.

"Peak...This is Starseidon." Krystallos said, but the gaze in his eyes turned warm and gentle. "He's my lover."

"Lover?" Peak repeated slowly, looking at the man who was giving her a stare down of someone who is possessive. "I'm so happy for you." She spoke, but the words felt hollow as she stared at Starseidon. Making the room suffocating as Krystallos shifted his eyes between the two of them...Sensing tension. "Are you both okay?"

To be continued~

Welp...I should start by saying, yes...Krystallos is working on Valentine's Day *Le gasp* but it's kind of normal for him at this point since he never had lovers before (Mind you, he was single and struggling to be in relationships that didn't work out until he stopped completely. That is another story.) Other than that, things should be smooth sailing...On top of the fact that the girl that regected and friend-zoned you for being yourself wants to try to date you now, only to find out you have a lover who is possessive as hell...Who would win? Possessive boyfriend or Jealous colleuge that friendzoned and is willing to date. Starsiedon and Amphitrite belong to @aquariusthevisionary

A Sea of Stars: Part 8

Two sides, One Soul

Tw: Swearing

"What was that?" Murmured in an exhausted yet broken tone. It's been nine days since that daring escape from Tartarus, and Krystallos was still feeling as miserable as the day he got out. His body refused to even obey him at this point, eyes rimmed red from the countless tears being shed. However, there were no tridents in the neck and chest of the mortal disguised titan...Just dried blood from the reopening of old back wounds. Even the chest wound had some dried blood.

"That was the death of someone dear to our little bird, Eva." With a jolt, Krystallos sat right up, wincing in pain, but eyes widened in shock. The feeling of an aura disappearing suddenly did not go past the titan's senses. Gentle as a butterfly, yet cold as death, vanished like it was never there to begin with. "Thanatos is dead?" A cold sensation formed at the pit of the Ice King's stomach and settled in the titan's heart after saying those words. "My son-in-law is....Ugh."

"Why are you doubling over like a little bitch?" The voice inside Krystallos grew louder as the titan in question crawled over to the nearest source of water to wash his face.

"From Kronos' Champion executioner, to this waste of a titan." The voice continued to berate Krystallos as shaking hands began to lower into the cool water of the spring. "What happened to us?" Peering into the spring below, keeping his hands in the water, and looking into the reflection of his former self. The past that he despises and yet can't seem to escape from, after years of reforming himself. The Executioner of Kronos. Wearing the onyx breastplate from the old world of titans. The reflection's eyes were so hard-hearted and soul-piercing that anyone who looked within them would freeze from terror. Hair long, braided back to keep away from fighting and executing those who dared to disobey the king.

"You know very well what happened to us, you sadist," Krystallos answered back, looking at his past self in the eyes. Just looking at the reflection in the spring, he hated what he saw. The past that he couldn't change, even if he tried.

"You changed...We Changed...You continued to fight like shit." The reflection retorted with a jarring rudeness, "And for what...Your boy toy of a Sea God to accept your new self? That's the worst f*cking excuse I've ever seen."

"What else was I supposed to do? Show him the worst part of me, the part I'm most ashamed of." Krystallos spat back. "I know I lied to Star...I'm tired of lying and hurting people."

"Then why do you lie to yourself?! Hurt yourself for a world that doesn't even want you...Doesn't even want us," The reflection shouted back, looking at the current version of him with disgust and hidden hurt. "I've seen you change. Seen us change to what the world wanted us to be...Lie to ourselves for what? To escape a punishment that was rightfully ours from the beginning?"

"Mother gave us the chance to change our destiny without us knowing it..." The Ice King began to argue...Yet, was cut off.

"And yet you took it a step further and took a lightning bolt to the heart to avoid capture...Turning mortal and sacrificing everything, everyone we knew and loved for that freedom that was never ours to have." The reflection recounted. "We used to take..."

"Risks." The titan lamented, before sighing as he knew he completed his reflection sentence...Knowing they were both on the same page. The wind began to blow softly as both past and present gazed at each other through the reflection of the water in silence. "We've become a coward too unfit to even be alive." The titan disguised mortal finally said, hearing the reflection of his past self snort.

"You think? You offered mercy to those power-hungry pigs for titans. To that low-downgrade version of our father," The reflection of the executioner said in a monotone. "We don't even deserve Starseidon's or Fishyseidon's love...Even though they are fine-looking," the reflection admitted, causing Krystallos to laugh.

"Yeah..." He said in agreement, before standing up and shifting back to his titan form.

"The hell do you think you're doing?" The reflection asked with an eyebrow raised.

Looking back, Krystallos gazed into the surface of the water with a sadistic smirk on his lips, but the same hard-hearted and soul-piercing eyes, complete slits for pupils with no trace of warmth within them. "It's about time to biggest risk of all...Even if I lose everything again once more, to hell with it all...I'm done giving Mercy."

To becontinued~

After finding out about Thanatos' death and arguing with his past self. Krystallos makes a choice that will either turn the tide of battle or take a turn for the worse. Finally, being honest with himself and ready to risk everything to win this war. The executioner has come, and there is no going back. (Not going to lie, I may have been inspired by the goat of Attack on Titan Levi Ackerman in creating the executioner/ past version of Krystallos....Enjoy ;3)

A Sea of Stars: Part 6

Honesty and a Deal With Death

"You were the cause of this, Krystallos?" The hushed voice of disbelief escaped through Thanatos' lips as the titan he was speaking to stood at the Gates of Tartarus. Gazing at the god of death with eyes sharp enough to get even the most remorseless criminals to rethink their life choices. This was paired with no movements of the face or body, just an uneasy silence, that stretched out until words were finally spoken.

"Yes." The Ice King spoke, his words felt as if they held the final verdict and the cold bitterness of what was done. Seeing the facial expression of Thanatos morph from disbelief to shock to horror should have caused Krystallos to feel and express guilt, but it never happened. All that remained was a stoic titan and the one word that solidified the truth that was spoken.

A deadly silence stretched out longer between the two before Thanatos exploded with such anger that it could make any mortal and immortal flinch with terror...Krystallos's silent blank expression made it worse. "DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS THIS IS?!!" Thanatos shouted. Eyes became a dark purple, and wings flared out as the feeling of death surrounded the duo, "I don't know what to believe about you anymore!!! I told Lord Starseidon that you are someone worth trusting!!" When the god of death noticed that the titan had said nothing to defend himself, to say that this was not the titan's doing, anything that proved any innocence, Thanatos lost it. "How long have you planned on deceiving us?!! How dare you gaze at Lord Starseidon and say you love him?!! How can you look at Lady Eva and be a good father towards her?! It's like no one here knows-"

"The real me?" Krystallos finally spoke, his voice still distant and mature with a stoic face, stopping Thanatos mid-rant to stare. The ice king exhaled slowly before erecting an ice slab with the flick of his wrist, then shaping it to be like a mirror. "The moment someone knows the real you...Many possibilities can occur." The titan then paused before speaking his thoughts on the matter. "Some of those possibilities may include blackmail," He then turned, not before saying, "If you wish to look within my memories, you may do so...If not, you may destroy the mirror." Walking back into the frozen wasteland of a prison once more, leaving Thanatos alone.

(Ten Sea Bunnies Later.) From inside a barrier, Krystallos sat on the floor of his cell, gazing through his lashes when foot steps approached and stopped. "I take it that you peered into the mirror?" He asked with a voice so detached that there is no way to tell if there was warmth. Seeing Thanatos standing there with a blank expression did not worry the titan; it was the gaze that was given that caused an eye brow raise.

"From the most formidable soldier trained for Kronos' army, to a lonesome king that the people loved, then a humble jeweler creating trinkets in a marketplace," Thanatos said, his voice soft before sighing. "You are quite the wild card, Krystallos...That's what terrifies me." The admission in the voice of the god of death was like a final verdict. The titan was silent as Thanatos continued speaking, "I don't mean to undermine your suffering and loneliness after the 10-year war..But the power and combat prowess you possess make you a danger that I can not ignore...To make matters difficult, you never participated, only used a staged death to escape imprisonment."

"That is understandable," Krystallos responded, fully gazing at Thanatos with pupils slit, the snowflake pupils nowhere in sight.

"I'm surprised and impressed, however, that you managed to keep this under wraps for so long and from the other titans, no doubt," Thanatos said honestly. "Pheobe must have such an influence on you as much as Koios back where you are from."

" 'Keep your true self away from others,' " The Ice King began when turning his eyes to the ceiling of the cell. " 'Yet show it to those whose bond is deep....Extend mercy to those who deserve it, and ruthlessness to those who don't...However, if the mercy you give is squandered, let cruelty show...' These were the words that I heard my mother explain when I was a boy, as balance and to never lose myself to father's aim in molding me the perfect soldier for Kronos." The explanation became like water, clear and pure, now that the truth has surfaced, breaking through the murkiness that Krystallos hid behind.

"Why are you telling me all these things?" Thanatos finally asked, questioning the motive the titan had.

"Your suspicion about my motives is valid, Thanatos. After everything that has happened and been revealed, you have a right to be." Krystallos said, affirming the god of death. "You have not blindly attacked when I confirmed that I have frozen Tartarus. For that, I would like to strike a deal with you."

"A deal?" The Death God raised his eyebrow. "What makes you think that you are in a position to strike a bargain with me, Son of Koios?"

"It is who I am after all." The titan responded with a head nod before exhaling through his nose. "However, the deal has to do with placing the escapies back into Tartarus,"

"Just one question. Before this deal can be heard, I have to ask?" Thanatos said, looking at Krystallos with a steady gaze. "Have you ever planned on letting Starseidon get to know the real you?" When the question was asked, the ice king gave a chuckle that sounded like a scoff, since the personality was more distant and cold, with an accent hidden under the tone of voice. "Being cursed to see the fates of others, one can never see their own," The titan exhaled softly. "To answer your question, Thanatos. I still plan to tell Star, however, after I tell him...That is what troubles me."

"You think he would stab you with his trident, just like the Poseidon in your dimension had done....That he wouldn't love you anymore." The deduction of Thanatos caught the titan off guard, but with just a head nod, the god of death sighed and rubbed his temples.

"And what if you are wrong?" The question came quickly. "I can ask Apollo to-"

"No." The ice king said, interrupting Thanatos with a voice swift yet sharp as winter winds. "I appreciate your concern, Thanatos; however, my curse is unique. I can see the fates of others, but those with the gift of prophecy can not see mine. My nephew's gift of prophecy would be wasted...Your sister's in my dimension made sure of that." He said, referring to the Three Fates, who are also children of the primordial goddess, Nyx, but in his home dimension.

"Apollo is your nephew?" The interest of Thanatos peaked when the ice king voiced this revelation.

"Yes, through me being the adopted brother of the Titaness Leto. That also includes the Titaness Asteria...But we are getting severely off topic here." Krystallos pointed out bluntly, catching Thanatos in the act of trying to change the subject and discover the ice king's family line. "That will be a topic for another day, but now on to the deal."

"Nothing escapes you, interesting." The God of Death mused with a chuckle, "Alright, I'll humor you. What is the deal that you propose?"

"The deal is, I'll help you bring back those who have escaped Tartarus, in exchange for relinquishing my freedom," Krystallos said, expression blank, but his eyes serious. "But you may choose any other condition to add, Thanatos. For this will be binding and be taken through to the end."

"Can you unfreeze Tartarus first? I'll think about it after I'm not freezing my wings off." The God of Death asked with a deadpanned expression, with a slight shiver that was not noticed until now.

"Apologies," Krystallos said, still stoic; however, his ears drooped at his comfort level in Tartarus (Got comfortable in your new home, huh -_-). With an outstretched hand, the frozen wasteland began to recede into the very space that the ice king is residing in.

"Satisfactory?" The ice king asked, looking at Thanatos, seeing him relax now that the unbearable heat was back.

"Very, but now." The god of Death then looked away and summoned his weapon, a scythe, causing the ice king to raise a brow. "Aid me in getting the titans back into their proper cells. Then I'll take your deal into consideration."

Slowly getting up from the floor, the Ice King touched the barrier, palm facing outward, and turned it into powered snow. Unfeeling, yet determined to carry out the task at hand as he stood with the god of Death, facing the hoard of Titans that were a part of Kronos' army. They are vengful of what Krystallos had done and want to get even.

"Consider it done." The ice king spoke, his words carrying the weight of the decision. All that is left is to back the words with action.

To be continued~

After the revelation, the ice king dared to be honest and strike a deal with death, even if it would cost him his freedom. For the Ice King, when a deal is made, it becomes law and is sought through until the deal is fulfilled. But first, time to put the titans that stayed behind back in their cells >:3. Hope you enjoy reading part six and the little bits of Krystallos lore I put in (Sorry if it took a while, though, and for the little changes and additions made ^^'). Umm... Did Thanatos break the mirror after he was done viewing Krystallos' memories? Thanatos, Apollo, Starseidon, Kronos, and Koios belong to @aquariusthevisionary
