Garden of the Gods is a public park located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA.
The outstanding geologic features of the park are the ancient sedimentary beds of red, blue, purple, and white sandstones, conglomerates and limestone that were deposited horizontally, but have now been tilted vertically and faulted by the immense mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Pikes Peak massif. Evidence of past ages; ancient seas, eroded remains of ancestral mountain ranges, alluvial fans, sandy beaches and great sand dune fields can be read in the rocks. A spectacular shear fault can be observed where the Tower of Babel (Lyons Sandstone) contacts the Fountain Formation. The name Colorado is said to come from the color of the sandstone. There are many fossils to be seen: marine forms, plant fossils, and some dinosaur fossils.
The hogbacks, so named because they resemble the backs and spines of a pig, are ridges of sandstone whose layers are tilted. Instead of lying horizontally, some layers are even vertically oriented. Each hogback can range up to several hundred feet long, and the tallest (called North Gateway Rock) rises to a height of 320 feet (98 m) tall. A notable rock feature on this hogback, the Kissing Camels, appears to be two very large camels sitting face to face with their lips touching.
One of the most popular features in the park is a large balancing rock, known locally as Balanced Rock.

*~Eilethyia~*  Stepping out of the multi-colored mist, Eilethyia appeared on the porch of a small wooden cabin in the middle of the desert area known as the Graden of the Gods. It was her and Kratos secret spot. No one but they two had ever been there, nor knew it exsisted. The cabin was neat and simple. With a great room including a living room, dining room and kitchen, and only two seperate rooms from that, a bathroom and a bedroom. It was all they needed...for now. There she stood and waited patiently for Kratos to arrive. As she did so she hugged her belly tight. Now that Nike had delivered her children a few days before, the only birth on her mind was her own. She was due any day...with five kids. Olympian gods bless her. "Men don't know what strength is. When I see a man go through childbirth, then I'll honor him with the title of World's Strongest Man."

♛♛♛ Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. ♛♛♛ Kratos appeared on the porch followed by a strong gust of wind. Which always seemed to appear around him when he used Air travel. Knocking on the door Kratos entered into the cabin which he himself had made for the two of them. Stepping behind Eilithyia, he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her gently as he kissed her on the cheek."So how is my favorite goddess doing to day."Kratos whispered into her ear as his hands traveled down her body till they were right above her holding her belly.."And how are the kids treating their mother."He added as he kiss her cheek again.♛♛♛ When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength♛♛♛

*~Eilethyia~* Closing her eyes, Eilethyia tilted her head back - closer to Kratos - as he kissed her cheek. She smiled as he did so, as his breath tickled her skin. She was always calmer around him. The exact opposite of what happened when she was around his sister. "I'm great, now that we're here," she answered him back as she opened her eyes and looked at him. "The babies however..." she laughed softly undered her breath as she placed her hands over Kratos on top her belly, "...they are kicking and moving around like crazy. I think they'll be born soon." "Men don't know what strength is. When I see a man go through childbirth, then I'll honor him with the title of World's Strongest Man."

♛♛♛ Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. ♛♛♛ "Question if your the Goddess of Childbirth and Pregnancy who helps you give birth?"Kratos said as he laid his head on her shoulder. Breathing in her scent he sighed in pleasure his strong arms still holding her gently like only a man in love could do. He had never been so strongly in love before sure there had been the few mortals over the years but none of them could match his love for Eilithyia.♛♛♛ When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength♛♛♛

*~Eilethyia~* Eilethyia sighed and smiled as Kratos held her close. No one," she answered. "I deliver all by myself. If anything goes wrong...then my uncle, Hades, comes. I think you know why." She then gasped softly and placed her hand on either side of her large belly as the babies all kicked at once. "Very soon...they're too strong for me to hold onto them for much longer. she said softly. She truly couldn't wait for their children to be born and to start their family. She only wished that they were at least engaged before the children were born. Her mother would not approve if it was anything less. And honestly, neither would she. "Men don't know what strength is. When I see a man go through childbirth, then I'll honor him with the title of World's Strongest Man."

♛♛♛ Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. ♛♛♛ "Seems like they are taking after me if they are that strong.'Kratos said with a laughed as he let go of Eilethya and walked in front of her so that he could look at her face. Standing there in front of her Kratos reached for something in his back pocket as he knelt down on one knee. Pulling at a blue velvet box he looked into Eilethyia eyes he smiled at her."Eilethyia the love of the my life and the mother of my unborn children will you marry me.Kratos said as he opened up the box revealing a ring that was to be her if she said yes.♛♛♛ When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength♛♛♛

*~Eilethyia~* Eilethyia gasped and looked down at Kratos, as best she could around her stomach. If she were mortal she would have temporarily stopped breathing. "Kratos...I...yes. Yes, I'll marry you." she said, smiling softly, trying not to cry. She couldn't believe it. She just thought of it and now it was really happening. "Men don't know what strength is. When I see a man go through childbirth, then I'll honor him with the title of World's Strongest Man."

♛♛♛ Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. ♛♛♛ A large smile appeared on Kratos' face as he heard Eilethyia say yes, and as he smiled his slid the ring onto her finger. Standing up he looked at her and gave her a gentle hug make sure not to press to hard on the stomach for the sake of both her and the kids in side of her.♛♛♛ When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength♛♛♛

*~Eilethyia~* The goddess of childbirth and pregnancy carefully hugged the strongest god back after he slid the gorgeous ring on her finger. "I love you." she said softly, as the babies kicked her again. This time so strong the wind was knocked out of her for a few seconds and she almost fell to her knees. "Men don't know what strength is. When I see a man go through childbirth, then I'll honor him with the title of World's Strongest Man."
