The Beginning of War and Peace

by Dotell

A boy walks through heaps of dead warriors. He only knows that he is in the Underworld and that he must destroy the Gods of Olympus. He doesn't know how he got his skills or his sword, nor does he know where strange voice comes from.

I walked among the corpses of zombies. Smoke was in my eyes as I stepped over the bloody bodies. The Underworld's pawns were weak compared to me. I had no recollection of my past whatsoever, but a voice in my head kept saying "Destroy the Gods of Olympus and achieve your destiny". My black ninjato, Nightmare, was dragged by my numb hand as I walked on the black sand. I had just murdered hundreds of undead warriors out of a terrible rage.

I went into the Underworld because I woke up next to a couple of rocks. I was in a big, green park and I could hear the sound of machines ringing in my ears. At my first words the rocks tore open to a damp path, which I followed. I knew I was near the exit when I heard the cries of the dammed. I saw a black river and misty figures walking towards enormous black gates. I waded through the black river, which burned so bad that I wanted to just die there, but then it happened.

The voice came to me.
