"You will fall!" A mighty voice booms as lightning draws jagged lines against the dark sky. Huge, dark waves crash up against the rocks and cliffs as another voice replies, "In your dreams, you pathetic excuse for a king!"

The two figures clash together and the ring of weapons hitting each other echoes loudly. A trident stabs deeply into the shoulder of Zeus and the sky god's fury blazes in his narrowed eyes. Ichor, the golden blood of the gods, drips down his toga as he hurls a lightning bolt at Posiedon.

Poseidon's face is twisted in anger as the ocean rages behind him and a primal scream tares from his mouth.

But the huddled figure crouching nearby isn't looking at Poseidon's face and he isn't listening to the scream. His evil gaze is staring hungrily at Zeus's wound and the ichor that splashes onto the ground. His thin lips twist into a malicious smile as he darts forward, a small glass vial clutched in his hands.

He holds the vial out and the powerful enchantment does it's work, pulling ichor off of Zeus's wound and carrying the liquid to the vial. The monster's hands shake with excitement as he bottles the precious blood and runs off, resisting the urge to laugh hysterically.

His master will be so proud.

The monster reappears in Tartarus and places the small vial down on a flat, slate like rock. In front of the rock is a blood red sphere. Veins of black twist through the sphere and the monster is caught between fear and greed at the powerful magic.

 He lifts his head and speaks, even though he can see no one in else around. His master is everywhere. "It is done my master, we now have the blood from all fourteen of them." A feeling of glee fills the monster as he smiles.

Oh the terror Kronos would cause with his new... Creation.

Hope you all like the prologue... It's a bit short, I know, but I wanted to make it as cliff hanger-like as possible and I didn't want to make it drag on and on and on and on...

So, comment! Vote! Tell me if I made any mistakes!
