Chopped up into thousands of tiny pieces and locked away. Uranus couldn’t have lived if he wanted to. His blood flowed from him and in his death, came new life.

The blood of Uranus touched the ground and Satyrs formed. They danced and sang of the goodness of the gods. They ran with nyads in the fields and laughed at the world. It was free. It was saved. It was glorious.

From his blood, ash tree nymphs formed. They danced with the satyrs in the hills and sang in the woods. They praised the titans for their freedom. The praised the world for its rebirth.

In the darkest parts of the world, Uranus’s blood created monster made of shadows and rage. Pure fury in it monstrous form. Three devilish beasts known as the Furies erupted from the ground where his blood had touched. They screeched in rage and anger. They longed for revenge and death. They scoured the world, looking for who to feast on and steal their hatred and regret.

The blood of the great sky that touched the mountains brought rumbling from the earth. Out of cracks in the rock, giants clawed their way to freedom. Their waking caused the earth to shake and the sky itself to quiver. Their howls of joy and laughter were heard all around the world, giving everyone something joyous to listen to.

Uranus’s blood touched the sea and the foam curled. It turned into ichor and flesh. Every drop of blood formed into hair and skin and eyes. It turned into the most beautiful goddess ever known to man. Aphrodite sat on her shell as the cherubs sang. She attracted the driads of all the seas. Every god and goddess was lost in her gorgeousness.

Uranus’s body was locked away for eternity. Gaea could then rest. His blood caused the great mother peace. It gifted her with the strength to rest. Without the titan to cause her pain and sorrow, she was free to be at ease with the beautiful earth.

From the blood of the sky, came beauty so untold and mysterious, it’s all a myth to us know. But you can still hear the singing and dancing of the nymphs and satyrs in the breeze if you listen close enough. You can feel the Furies surround you in your heart as they fuel it with fire and hatred. The giants still shake the earth all around the world with their laughter and joy. Aphrodite can still be seem in every young girl, as she hides away, providing love and affection to each and every one of them. And finally, you can see the beautiful Mother Earth at rest in every tree, plant, cloud, and river. From death came the myth of the world and the blood of Uranus gave us beauty untold.
