The Khaos Series - Khaos' Betrayal (synopsis)
Khaos is the creator of the
universe; a domain she constructed of her own never-ending body.
On her surface are tattooed the constellations and starry formations that
make up the night sky. When she made the
cosmos, she did so with the intention of passing her beautiful creation down to
her progeny. As time passed, she was more and more unwilling to turn her
work and love over into the hands of her children, gods she was sure would not
care for it in a reverent and precious manner.
Khaos decided to keep her universe
under her control and traps her children within her subconscious, much to their
horror and ire. They rant and rail against their imprisonment and plot
ways to escape and exact their revenge for eons of suffering. Khaos fights to contain the gods that are
attempting to get out and assume their rightful place in the universe. The battle she is fighting within her body
and conscience causes her to lose control of the galaxies that paint her
beautiful form. Her neat and orderly
cosmos has gone to ruin because she cannot control both realities.
But then, after hearing the whisperings of her daughter Gaea,
she succumbs to her conscience and decides to release one god at a time and
train him or her in the way they should run the realm. Khaos makes a
choice of the first of her successors to emerge and...BAM, all hell breaks
loose, literally.
Some of the gods she has held
captive for eons escape and want not only their part of her realm, but her hide
as well. They want vengeance for their imprisonment and retribution for
their stolen sovereignty.
Alone and fighting a losing battle, Khaos is captured and tortured by Okeanos,
Eurynome, Sporades and Ophioneus. Khaos finds hope in the immature and
naive goddess, Eurynome, but she must first convince Eurynome to trust her and
allow her to escape.
Torn between her allegiances to her
fellow gods and the visions of the past and future she has been allowed to see,
Eurynome must make a gut-wrenching decision of who to align herself with.
Determined to do what is best for herself and the universe, Eurynome decides to
trust her instincts and follow a course that ensures that the universe is a
thriving and prosperous realm.
