RECAP
Hades has ordered Kratos to deliver a special request to the Athena, Goddes of Wisdom, all the way to Athens. Kratos has received Persephone's sacred fruits and now awaits for his escort at the Styx river with Cerberus...
Main Gate, Underworld
January 1st, XX14
Kratos is sitting down with Cerberus. All three heads are sleeping on his lap. Kratos then starts to talk to himself, while he strokes the middle (Life) head...
KRATOS
I wonder what's taking him so long. It doesn't take that long to carry souls here...I'm...so...BORED.
The middle (Life) head wakes up and looks at Kratos' bag. The scroll is poking out of his bag. Kratos eyes then shift over to his bag, getting a curious thought.
KRATOS
I wonder what he meant by request.
He begins to reach for the scroll.
KRATOS
It's not like father said I couldn't take a little peak.
Kratos starts to unravel the scroll. Suddenly, the middle (Life) head starts to bark at him making the other heads to wake up.
KRATOS
What's wrong boy, I'm only taking a peak.
Cerberus stands up off from Kratos' lap and continues to bark at the river. Kratos just directs his attention to the river and notice that his escort is arriving. He ravels the scroll back up and stores it back in his bag while saying...
KRATOS
Finally, he's here. I thought
His escort, Charon, is rowing his boat making his way to Kratos. The foggy abyss starts to decrease giving a clear view of Charon. Kratos starts to wave and say...
KRATOS
HELLO CHARON! You're late as always, I see.
Charon stops the boat and gives Kratos a solid glare from underneath his cloak.
KRATOS
Sometimes I wonder if you and Thani like making people feel uncomfortable.
He pets all three heads and tells them...
KRATOS
Remember to keep mom safe.
Kratos then squats down to Cerberus height. He meshes all three heads against his own. Cerberus begins to make a (friendly) growl. Kratos does the same back to them. All three heads then lick him on the face. Kratos enjoys it and gives Cerberus one big hug. He starts to board the boat.
Charon begins to row the boat. Kratos waves goodbye to Cerberus, while all three heads howl in sorrow. The foggy abyss begins to increase showing nothing but a huge fog cloud...
