Brother of Kratos
A long time ago when Kratos was a young boy he had a brother named Maximus. Kratos and his brother were very physically strong for their age. In the city of Athens, boys at the age of about 15 years old, were taken away from there families and began training for the army of Athens. Kratos and Maximus had a lot of fury in them and were supposed to be the greatest Spartans ever.
The mother and father of the two boys deserted them when they were only 2 years old. The two boys knew how to survive by themselves by making weapons and other things too. They lived in the mountains just out side of the city of Athens. The brothers had no job or money, so they sole thing when they needed them.
Just as the sun was setting one evening, Kratos and Maximus went into town to steal some supplies. Kratos and Maximus carry a dagger with them everywhere. As they walked through the town market they saw a food stand with no merchant. Kratos and Maximus began to stuff food into there bags they had with them. As they were doing this, they were spotted by a Spartan.
"Hey, you two, come here!" the Spartan held at them
Kratos and Maximus looked over at the Spartan.
"Let's go brother Maximus." he said to Kratos as he was looking at the Spartan.
The boys began sprinting towards the gate.
"Stop those boys." the Spartan yelled out.
Just then, two more Spartans came out of nowhere and crabbed the boys.
"Look what we have here. Two young thieves. I bet the King would love to talk to you."
Kratos reach down towards his belt and grabbed his knife. Kratos then elbow the Spartan in the stomach and slipped away from the Spartans grasp. Kratos turned around and took his knife and threw it at the Spartan and hit him square in the head. The Spartan fell to his knees then to the ground as blood poured from his head to the ground. Maximus then managed to grab his knife and sung his arm back, with his knife in his hand, and stuck it right in his stomach. Kratos and Maximus began towards the gate again. As they were running they looked back and saw two Spartans aiming bow and arrows at them.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" Maximus screamed as he was hit with arrows in the back of each leg.
"Brother! Get on my back." Kratos said to his brother.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Kratos screamed as he too was hit with two arrows in both shoulders.
Kratos fell to the knees. The two brothers were lying on the ground side by side. They both were bleeding badly. Then two Spartans came walking towards them. Kratos looked down at his brother then looked at the Spartans walking towards them as blood was pouring from his shoulders to the ground. Kratos used all of his energy and grabbed the arrows from his shoulders and ripped them out of his body.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Kratos screamed as he ripped the arrows out.
The Spartans stopped because they were amazed what they were seeing. Kratos stared deep into the eyes of the Spartans.
"By the Gods." Kratos said as he stared at the Spartans.
Kratos took the arrows and threw them at the Spartans. The arrows flew through the air and hit each Spartan in the neck. The Spartans dropped to the ground.
Kratos looked down the road and saw about a few dozen Spartans running towards him and his brother.
"Maximus lets go!" Kratos said to his brother.
"No! You are too weak right now to carry me. Only one of us will make it out of here and that is you!" Maximus said to his
"I will come back for you brother." Kratos said to his brother
Kratos stood up and jogged out of the city. When Kratos returned to the mountains, he wrapped up his wounds and looked upon the city light. Kratos looked down at his hands. Kratos had blood from his brothers on his hands. He also had a slash of blood that went across his body. Kratos looked back out towards the city.
"I will come for you brother." Kratos said to himself
