[FanFic] Cursed (Foreword)
Foreword:
Background:+
In the ancient time before men kind even existed when the universe was just a new born baby titans ruled the earth, they were powerful and they ruled everything, they also gave birth to the gods. The titans were cruel and wanted more and more power and as the time passed and the sons grew up and the titans became afraid of their own sons, afraid that those newborns will fight them for power and why would not they when the titans themselves were fighting each other for power?
Afraid by the thought Cronus the most powerful titan and the father of the three powerful gods: Zeus, Poseidon and Hades decided to swallow his sons and he did, he swallowed them whole but as the gods were immortal they lived on inside their father
They finally over powered their father in a war between the titans and the gods. The three powerful gods chopped their father into little pieces to make sure he won't stay alive. They made an oath together to guarantee that none will g against the other and that they won't face the same fate as the titans, they swore not to steal each other's powers.
The three gods locked the monsters that the titans created away with the remaining titans and created a high mountain and lived on top of it, the Olympus. Now with the titans gone the three gods became the rulers of everything so they decided like this, Zeus became the king of the sky and the heavens, Poseidon the king of the seas and Hades who was tricked by Zeus was king of the underworld where the darkness and nothingness
Zeus then created man kind to live on the earth, men were to worship the gods and live by their word, men's love and prayers was what made gods so immortal. It was like their food and soon the three gods became more, they gave birth and married each other, some married their sisters but again none was forbidden to them, not all gods were allowed on the Olympus, only the strongest, the most powerful gods were allowed to live there in their temple and only Zeus had a palace as he was king of all gods

+Final notes:
This is going to be a Boy on Boy fanfic so for those who do not like that, leave now.
It is my first time writing about Greek gods so it may be a little lame, sorry for that.
The fanfic is going to have angst, drama, romance, Rated parts (Of course), comedy, fluff and most important a Happy ever after.
I will be using the character's name and not the god's name in the story like Yunho not Zeus and so on.
Hope you like it^^
