Oracles of Olympus: Episode Zero
Prelude to War

6,000 years ago before the age of skyscrapers, before the age of human dominance, there was a war for the world between the Titans, the gods of the Old World and the Olympians, the ambitious children of the Titans. The two factions' warred non-stop for centuries until Zeus, leader of the Olympians, ended the war in a decisive victory for the Olympians with his overwhelming power. Because the Titans were still too strong to destroy outright Zeus orders Hephaestus to construct a special prison to keep the Titans in Tartarus, the realm of souls, damned for eternity, using a lock that could only be opened using one million human souls. With the prison completed, the Olympians and humans enjoyed centuries of peace. It was thought or at least hoped that the terrible war, a war that razed the earth, would never be started again. However, little did they know that an Oracle, a servant to the Gods, would betray them, all for the sake of reuniting with a person whose fate was sealed when he became an Oracle.

?: To think that Soul Lock would expire as soon as it did. This is really a disaster. Hephaestus, how long until the Soul Lock completely erodes? Hephaestus: Hard to say, Lord Zeus, at times the erosion seem to slow down, but then speed up days later. Hephaestus, member of the Olympus, god of fire and the best blacksmith in Olympus, responsible for the now eroding Soul Lock that keeps the Titans in their prison. Hephaestus: What I want to know is what is causing this to happen, I built that damned lock to be perfect, to think my talents would be wasted like this. Zeus: Calm yourself, my son, if there is an outside power responsible for this, we will destroy it. Hephaestus: But how? You know as well as I do that we can't interfere in the mortal realm, not without throwing the whole realm out of balance. Zeus: Then we will have to rely on them then. Hephaestus: You mean….? Zeus: Yes, we will make Oracles and they will investigate what is happening to the Soul Lock and destroy it. Hephaestus, call our brothers and sisters it is time to nip this problem in the bud. Hephaestus: It shall be done, my lord.
