Night and Day, Light and Dark

As Kronos waited in the cleft, sickle in hand, all creation held its breath.

I say ‘all creation’, for Ouranos and Gaia and their offspring were not the only beings to have reproduced.

Others had multiplied and propagated too, with Erebus and Nyx the most productive by far.

They had many children, some terrible, some admirable and some lovely.

We have already seen how they gave birth to Hemera and Aether.

But then Nyx, without Erebus’s help, gave birth to MOROS, or Doom, who was to become the most feared entity in creation.

Doom comes to every creature, mortal or immortal, but is always hidden.

Even the immortals feared Doom’s all-powerful, all-knowing control over the cosmos.

After Moros came a great rush of offspring, one after the other, like a monstrous airborne invasion.
