Oracles of Olympus: Episode 2
21st Century Oracles pt.1

Oracles, servants to the gods, on their hand a mark, this glyph is the symbols of the gods who chosen them. In the world of planes, guns, or tanks, you would think mankind would have no need for the Oracles, but then again it has been 6,000 years since they known the terror of the Titans. It has been a month since the Olympians made their decision to involve the mortals in their war. To prepare for the upcoming conflict, one Oracle makes an ambitious choice, to unite the Olympian Oracles.

"You sure he's here?" the man said looking at the city. The man was on a mission, a mission that was meant to be suicide, however he was determine to see it through. "It would be nice if we found him quickly, the Ghouls aren't becoming easier to fight, Hephaestus." A dozen creatures dead on the scorched floor surrounded the man's feet. "Found him yet?" he said impatiently.

"You're a talkative one, aren't you, Ashton?" Hephaestus complained. Hephaestus appeared in a burst of flame.

"Got it, oh by the way, it's Ash, not Ashton," Ash complained. He hurried to city, looking to rescue Zeus' Oracle, not knowing that the Ghouls have already tracked down the new oracle. Hephaestus shook his and returned to Olympus wish him luck.

"Get away!" a voice yelled. A lone man was on the bridge surrounded by Ghouls. The bridge was damaged from the fighting with the cars being engulfed in a sea of flames. "Shit, they keep coming faster than I can kill them." One of the Ghouls leapt at the man from behind. "Crap!" A flaming pillar smashes into the Ghoul.

The man looked on as the Ghoul dissolved into dust. "Watch your back, kid; you came close to losing your head." Ash said sternly. The Ghouls focused their attention from their prey to Ash and surrounded him. "Scorch the Earth, Thera!" Ash yelled. Ash's glyph glows and a horned figure appear in front of him. "Thera, time to play," he said with a grin.
