Prologue
An earthen chamber, an earthen heart beat within it. A battle raged in the chamber, Zeus locked in a fierce battle with a marked warrior who used 4 different kinds of weapons. Then out of nowhere the marked warrior produced a large blade that glowed with blue energy. The warrior and Zeus grappled over it. Then they were launched in the air, Zeus said, "I will break you!" the marked one screamed in rage and threw Zeus against the earthen heart. While Zeus was momentarily stunned the warrior held the blade up and it glowed even more violently. Then he impaled Zeus and the heart with it.
The chamber crumbled and they landed on a balcony on Olympus. Furious storms raged in the background. The warrior looked toward a pile of rubble, Zeus lay unmoving on top of it. The blade protruding from his heart. The warrior walked up to Zeus and removed the blade. He examined it and Zeus's lifeless form before casting to the ground and beginning to walk away. Suddenly a black fog emerged from Zeus's body and took the form of Zeus, "I GROW WEARY OF THIS!" the specter Zeus said, and with a violent flash all of the warriors weapons fell to the ground, broken. Zeus the grabbed the warrior and snapped his neck.
At first, he just hung there, lifeless. Suddenly, he began to move as his eyes and hands glowed with blue fire. He broke himself from Zeus's grip, took up his chain blades and attacked Zeus's with the ferocity of a bear. Soon he looked at his blades, then he cast them to the ground and charged at Zeus, finishing the god with his bare hands.
Then the warrior walked to the edge of the balcony, the sight was pure chaos. Tornados, floods, thunderstorms, and earthquakes ravaged the world.
Then a ghostly goddess, Athena, appeared, "You have done well Kratos. Freed from the bondage of Olympus and cleansed in chaos, mankind is now ready to receive my message." She said.
"Look around you Athena!" the warrior shouted in rage, "The world stands in ruin! What good is your message now?"
"Go if you must, but first give me the power from the box."
"The box was empty."
"You must be mistaken, I can see it in your eyes Kratos. You used my power to kill Zeus."
"The box was empty Athena! Pandora's sacrifice was in vain. She died because of my need for vengeance…"
"You must be mistaken! Unless… of course. When Zeus sealed all the evils away in Pandora's Box I dreaded what would happen should it be opened again. So I sealed the most powerful weapon in the box with them. Buried deep inside of you Kratos, is Hope. It has remained buried by your guilt. Something must have awakened it, what was it?"
"All I remember is what I have lost."
"That is why you should give me the power. I know it's true meaning and where it belongs. I trust you to do the right thing Kratos."
"You shouldn't."
"You own me this Kratos!"
"I owe you nothing!"
"I made you a God! I sheltered you from the wrath of Olympus! I delivered you revenge on Zeus!"
"It is over Athena."
"You would dare strike me down, again?"
"My vengeance…ends now."
"NO!"
The warrior took up the glowing blade, swung it, tossed it in the air, caught it by the blade, and impaled himself upon it.
"You fool! What have you done!?"
Suddenly a blue light shout into the sky wand was scattered among the people.
"NO! THAT WAS MEANT FOR ME! THEY WILL NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT!"
Then she floated towards him and took hold of the sword, which had lost its glow, and said, "You disappoint me Spartan." She removed the blade from his stomach and left him to bleed to death…
Percy woke with a bit of a start, in his room at his mother's apartment. Another dream about that strange warrior…what does this all mean?...
"Percy!" his mother called, "Wake up! Paul will be here any minute with Annabeth to take you two to camp."
