As I slip the sky's weight off his shoulders.




Now balancing the weight of the world on mine, with a practiced ease.




"Rest now." I speak. "This is not new to me"




The Titan eyes me with a great hesitation,


As he slowly moves to sit by me.

"It..is indeed a boring story." I start to break out, "But it had all started when I met this perfect person, she was my Princess. She had the Shiniest of Crowns known to all of Olympus… But I? Just an old Soldier, stuck in some Rusty Armor…"
