The God of the Shield

by Fennal

Kratos did not care about the Politics, Kratos did not care about the Waves, Kratos no longer wanted Violence, He wanted to live in solitude. But he was the God of War, He could never escape death and violence. But can he at the very least change?

2. In another world, again

Among the shadows stood an imposing body with a bearded face. A man with a cloak said with an excitement in his voice hoping if the stories of the Fabled Cardinal Heroes were true."O Brave Heroes, please save our world!"
Around the tattooed mans side were three undisciplined youths with three assorted weapons.

The Half-Naked 'Barbarian walked up to one of the mages and said "Where am i?"
The confused teens believed him to be what one might call a 'Barbarian' and a certain blond spearman arrogantly thought him to be a 'Story NPC'.

A Mage spoke with fear evident on his voice "...M-Melromarc, You are in the kingdom called Melromarc. T-There is a long and complicated story behind this. But we've summoned you through an ancient ritual." A Grunt. The Mages shuddered and the Speaker forgot a few lines and quickly said "Our world is but on the brink of destruction, His highness, the King seeks an audience with the four of you heroes. Please follow us." Kratos reluctantly complied and followed

The Heroes climbed from the summoning room and into the spiraling stairs leading to the king's throne room, While climbing the stairs, the heroes looked out into the windows and saw the city named Castle Town. While the rest marched forward. The Bearded Man gazed into the city for a minute with it's architecture similar to the Greek structures of his time, the breeze of the wind and the approaching sunset bringing forth nostalgia. He sighed before rejoining the others.

Setting foot in the Courtyard, the once vanquisher of gods felt a pair of eyes stalking him but shrugged it off.

Entering the Throne-room stood various guardsman with unfamiliar armor and sitting at the front an aged man with clothes and rings to match his position within the hierarchy. The King observed the heroes, then spoke with his voice reaching all across the courtroom "So are these the cardinal heroes of lege-"

"Why have you brought me here." The Pale-Man rudely interrupted.

The Potentate narrowed his eyes with a hint of hostility before declaring "The Kingdom of Melromarc wish for you to save our world from the Waves of Calamity, A supernatural event in which creatures of various kinds invade and we have summoned you here to save our world." Then boomed across the Halls. "Heroes, State your names."
