Savias Azul and the Olympians: The Curse of Hades

Prologue Part One: Glamorous

Mt. Etna, Sicily, Italy. Year and a half after the First Titan War

A surge of energy cackled through the night sky as Mt. Etna rumbled around the three hideous beasts. The Elder Cyclops's constant work was about to pay off, all the months hammering in their sweltering forges, all the nuisance draft copy's that had to be thrown away because they were one inch off perfect. But now, now they were finally there, just a few more days cooling of the sizzling bolt. Brontes with his hardy leadership, Arges with his magic craftsmanship, and Steropes and his genius approach when in the fiery tombs of the volcano; they had managed to create Zeus's Master Lightning Bolt. But, the job was not yet done, they were under strict orders to delicately cool Zeus's master bolt in the hazardous chambers of Etna. Anything but the one-eyed beasts - whom, were performing such a burden as they honoured Zeus, after he freed them from the gloomy hallows of Tartarus, letting them escape from the terrifying claws of Kampe – would fry in such a fatal climate, but the Cyclopes were resistant to heat, even down in the Pyroclastic tunnels of the mountain. The master bolt was exquisitely placed in the bubbling lava by Steropes and Arges, nesting themselves on two rocks lifting out of the molten terror.

Brontes was formidably instructing his brethren from a clifface, sticking out of the inner rocky edge of the Volcano.

"That's it brothers, nice and slow..."He chuckled, his head filling with glee thoughts as he imagined the riches he would collect when Zeus gained control over the bolt. "Steropes! Joist it up a little, this should be millimetre perfect!"

He bellowed and shrieked instructions, not once straying from the task at hand, except maybe to picture himself wallowing in Ogygian Gold and Stygian Silver. He had a gleam in his eye and a grin set on his face, exposing his crooked teeth.

But, his smile was not to last long, for a shocking visit from a certain someone was going to banish all thoughts of gold.

And so it began when a golden light appeared in the fire. Immediately filling the thoughts of the brothers with power and wealth. Brontes jumped down from his perch, and proceeded to clamber across a stepping stone like formation of rocks. He scrambled onto a platform and inspected the golden gleam in the liquid.

It was Arges who broke the silence "Wh- What is that mysterious light" He was squinting at the power of the brightness, then couldn't take it anymore, and whipped his head away. "By the gods! Its brighter than Apollo's teeth"

This was followed by a series of gasps as Brontes scooped his hand in the lava and brought up a beautiful glamour.

It was a skull. But made entirely of gold. And a black Jewell was encrusted in the forehead of it, glinting in the reflection of the onlooking eyes.

It was wonderful. And somewhat deceiving.

It shone like a star in space, and was immaculately clean despite being entombed in a fiery sea. The Cyclopes were dumbfounded.

"This could buy us incredible riches" Brontes stated.

"But what a wonderful souvenir it would be as well" Steropes then said.

"Nonsense, imagine Lord Zeus's gratitude to us if we supply him with such a gift" Arges suggested.

They were stopped dead by a ghostly voice booming from behind them.

"Yes all splendid ideas, a shame that none of them will be done"

Lord Hades himself stood there. Arms crossed in a powerful pose. He radiated the sheer thing, instantly the Cyclopes knew who was boss and that they should be obeying this deity.

"L-L-Lord Hades" Bronte Stammered, then swiftly regained his composure "What brings you here?"

"Ah, take a guess – yes, that skull is letting of huge amounts of power, power only a fool such as Zeus would miss" His voice was echoing across the wall of the volcano – bellowing into the Cyclopes ears. "Now, a normal god would just take the skull from you – but unfortunately I promised my Furies a treat. So, you better hand that over – quick"

And soon enough – the flapping of wings was heard in the distance. And a terrifying snarl drifted through the Volcano.

Silence prevails. One Second. Two. Three

Alecto lunged at Brontes, slicing down at his throat. He just managed to pummel her away with a strong fist as her sisters flew down and snatched the skull from his clutches. Arges did get to twirl the dazed Alecto round in a circle before slamming her against the wall and Steropes did get to grab the foot of Tisiphones foot and send her sprawling across a rocky surface. But the skull was already gone.

Because as quickly as it started. It finished

Hades disappeared in a spiral of flames.

The Cyclopes stared on in awe.

And the legend of the Golden Skull Begins.

(A/N: And there we have it – I hope you all noticed the pun when lord Hades comes in – stopped dead – LOL! Anyway I was inspired by a few stroy here I have to say, so if you like compliments, here goes:
