God of War: Test of the Fated Shadow
Chapter 2: The Forbidden Memory
It had seemed as though he had travelled into another world lost by time and space. Kratos knew that he had to get out of here fast and that he had to kill Zeus! He began to walk the streets of the desolate city where it had seemed no man could've been…
But, as he saw crumbled buildings he knew something wasn't right, not at all. With no idea what was heading for him. Suddenly a Cyclops came bursting from the temple heading straight for him! He ducked and rolled out of the way as its club smashed into the brick pathway. Kratos pulled the Blades of Athena and charged towards it at top speed shouting as he ran up its club stabbing the blades into its arm hanging on for dear life as it tried to shake him off. Then he pulled the blades out and leaped for the chest stabbing into its chest cavity with one blade and stabbed with the other into its throat. Killing it instantaneously, the creature fell backwards as Kratos pulled the Blades of Athena out of its throat and chest cavity.
As Kratos ran for the temple he began to remember a shocking memory. He recognized the temple as being not a temple but, the palace which the Spartan king lived. Suddenly he looked towards the fields and saw the home of which his wife and child had once lived in. And then he knew that this was the city of Sparta! Painful memories began to haunt his mind as though he had only recently done these terrible sins. He then saw the bodies of the Spartan guard and he remembered them as being those whom had once been guarding the gate to Sparta.
Then without warning he saw a figure in the shadows of the temple, as that figure slowly began to walk forward. It was…himself!
