The End of Olympus, the Beginning of the Capitol

Chapter 1

The world ended. Western Civilization was dead; the gods were gone, overthrown, imprisoned. I am a demigod. My name is Shadar, and I am a son of Hades, or was a son of Hades I guess. Dad was gone. Now others sat in charge. They destroyed Olympus, and built a new place of power. No one knows where it is, but they are very powerful. I fought them with everything I had, we all did, but that didn't matter. The only reason I am alive, is because I was knocked out by the power it took to summon the army of the dead I had summoned from the underworld. It had been even more difficult than usual, for the fabric of Western Civilization was collapsing. Since I was unconscious, I was taken captive. I suppose they wanted to "experiment" on me. This new threat, these nameless deities came as a complete and total surprise. "History repeats itself", Chiron always says, well, always said. He's gone now too. His life force was tied to Olympus.

Now, I had nothing left. I sit in a cold, white, sterile cell all day. I have no idea where on earth I am, or even if I am on earth. There are no visible doors; there is no way to know if I am banging on the right wall. They are probably watching me through a thick wall of one-way glass, whoever "they" are. Even the identity of my captors remains unrevealed. Everyday at what I must assume is the same time, food appears before me, and not great food I might add. The rations usually consist of a nasty looking grain cooked to mush; a glass of water; and whatever else they can find that tastes terrible. It has been 6 "meals" since I have come to, but without human contact, or anything to do, it feels like a year. I'm not sure how much more I can take.
