Hip looked up as Cybele, whom they also called Rhea, lifted her manly hands toward Zeus. “Please do not make the same mistake as your father.”

“Which one, Mother?” Zeus asked warily. “He made more than even a god can count.”

“The mistake of putting his crown before his family,” she said.

Zeus’s mouth dropped open. “Do you expect me to hand over my throne to my son?”

“If it better serves your family to do so, yes,” she said.

“If it better serves my family?” he repeated angrily. “How could that possibly better serve my family?” His voice became enraged. “I saved my family from your husband! I overthrew that wicked Titan. And I have ruled in all ways opposite to him, have I not? I even agreed to a more democratic system in what was once a traditional monarchy! What king gives up some of his power if not a good one?”

Hip wanted to point out that Zeus had been forced by the Athena Alliance to create a democracy, but he kept his mouth shut.

Before Cybele could say more, Zeus continued. “I will not roll over and play dead like an old dog so that my inexperienced son can steal the leadership of this council from me.” He grabbed a lightning bolt from behind his throne. As he shouted, “I refuse!”, he thrust it into the sky over Mount Olympus.

The bolt exploded into a thunderous burst of light, shaking the palace walls.
