AN: Hey everyone. This will be my first story, so I hope I don't look too stupid. After reading fanfictions for the past year, I've finally decided to get off my lazy butt and write a story. This is an idea that I've had for quite a long time, and I haven't seen many of these types of stories on fanfiction so I hope you guys enjoy it. Perseus will display intelligence that he doesn't normally doesn't have in the series, but I hope that won't deter readers too much. Anyways, let's get down to business. I present to you the first chapter of The Twin Titans.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Percy Jackson series, only this plot.


Prologue

Gaia laid on a bed, suffering from the terrible pain of childbirth. To her side stood her husband Ouranos and her youngest daughter Rhea, trying to sooth her through her labor. Never before had Gaia experienced such pain, meaning the set of twins waiting to be born had unprecedented power. She already knew that the two children she was about to give birth to would be above all of her other children and would become the greatest of the Titans. Gaia could only hope that her children would use their power wisely and for the good of their family.

Going on to her 18th hour of labor, Gaia shouted, "Ouranos, I'll be damned if we ever have children again. Once I recover, I'll kick your ass for subjecting me to such pain."

Ouranos could only chuckle at her wife's words. "Alright, we won't have more children. I believe 13 is already quite the handful," he promised.

Rhea, as the Titan of fertility and comfort, poured all her godly powers in trying to ease her mother, but to no avail. Even though she wasn't the one giving birth, Rhea could sense her mother's pain as sweat dripped down Gaia's forehead and both twins had yet to be born. Excited to have two younger siblings to look after, Rhea could hardly wait until her mother's screams would cease so that she could finally meet the young Titans as they take their first breaths in the world. She said soothingly, "Mother, please don't give up. The agony is almost over, just keep pushing."

An hour lady, a tiny head could be seen emerging. With a strident shriek, Gaia pushed out the newly born Titan into Rhea's waiting arms. Rhea quickly cleaned up the baby and placed some clothes upon him before handing the child to her father and waiting for the second child. Relieved that one of her sons had already come out safely, Gaia knew that she was not done. Another Titan was still waiting to be born, and she couldn't afford to relax quite yet.

Taking a deep breath, she once again started to push. Gaia gasped, failing even more pressure from this child than the first one. Already, she felt the power that her child displayed as pain coursed through her body. Through her husband and daughter's persistence, Gaia maintained focus until the head of the second child could finally be seen after a few minutes. With one final scream, her youngest and final child emerged into the world and into the arms of Rhea. Checking the vital signs of the twins, Rhea was happy to announce that both of the young Titans were perfectly healthy.

Rhea took the two children to her mother, who gently took them in her tired arms. The resemblance between the two was astonishing as they had the same high cheekbones, round lips, and lean body structure. Observing her two newly-born children lie calmly in her arms, Gaia could hardly tell the difference between the two.

Suddenly, the eyes of the twin born first shot open, revealing a deep, solid gold. Gaia had never seen eyes like those of her child, marveling in the beauty of them. She saw sheer power present in her child's eyes that demanded discipline and displayed authority. But she also something unidentifiable in the eyes of her child; it almost looked like lust for power and control. Gaia quickly dispelled such thoughts from her head.

Gaia turned to her husband. "We shall name our son Kronos. I can already tell he will become a strong leader in the future," she told him.

Ouranos felt satisfied with his wife's choice of name for their son. "A powerful name for a powerful son," he agreed.

Then, the eyes of Gaia's youngest son sprung open. A vibrant sea-green color that constantly changed various shades of green, his eyes exhibited the same power as his brother. But within the eyes of the youngest Titan was compassion and intelligence, unlike the cold, strict glint that Gaia saw in the eyes of Kronos. Already stunned by Kronos's eyes, Gaia felt even more amazement when gazing into her son's eyes. Even at such a young age, wisdom practically rolled off the Titan's godly aura.

Rhea stood to the side, quietly marveling at the prospect of finally having younger brother to look after. All her life, she had been looked after by her older sisters Thea and Themis, never having any responsibility. Rhea felt giddy with excitement as she thought of all the things she would teach her little brothers and how she would help them develop their powers. Looking at her cute, little brothers in Gaia's arms, Rhea already felt love for them, hoping they would eventually feel the same about her.

Abruptly, Gaia's voice awakened Rhea from her thoughts. She announced, "All hail my youngest son, Perseus, the wisest and most intelligent of them all."
