She's the goddess of the earth, and she was asleep for a long time. We're trying to keep her from waking up, but if it goes the way we're expecting, she's going to wake up anyway and we'll still have to destroy her somehow. I've just got a personal stake in it.
I - look, killing her probably won't destroy the whole world. It's possible for gods to stop existing without their aspects going nuts. It's happened before.
[ he's heard about pan from the satyrs. ]
We're still trying to figure out the best way to deal with it. But - waking her up will be bad because she's planning to overthrow all the gods of Olympus and basically remake the world how she and the giants want it. It means a lot of people will die - not just the gods - and after that, I don't know.
Well, I've been thinking about it while we've been here. There's this legend about another god - Ouranos, a god of the sky. Gaea was angry at him, and so she rebelled. But gods like them can't be killed in the normal sense, so what they did was cut him apart and scatter the remains so he could never reform.
If we could do something like that with Gaea, it should still count for the prophecy. IT's just a matter of finding out how to do it.
Probably not. I've only met her a few times, though, and I'm not sure any of them were her real body. Theoretically, anything made out of celestial bronze or imperial gold should work, but it wouldn't surprise me if it takes something bigger, since she was one of the first gods.
It's better than nothing! All I really need is the time and materials to put him back together, and I've already got plans to make him easier to rebuild this time, just in case. If it all goes like I'm hoping, it should never take this long to put him back together again.

[Huffs.]
If some idiot like Toki can do it, so can I.

Probably never. So if anyone would stand a chance at actually changing things, it's you.
no subject
Yeah. That way, neither you or your friend Jason has to die.

I feel like you shouldn't kill the goddess of the earth? Why is her waking up bad anyway?

[Frowning as if he doesn't like the idea of an earth god being bad but. He trusts Leo.]
I guess I'd rather we put her back to sleep but. It's your world. So whatever we need to do, I'll help.

I'm guessing a goddess of the entire earth isn't going to be someone you can just cut up with normal weapons.

Yeah! If I can rebuild him in time like I'm hoping, he'll be great for that. And I know he'd be up for it, too. He's got no love for her, either.
no subject
Good. Sounds like a good plan, then. At least a place to start.

...Though hopefully I won't need to at all.
