The oldest stories ever told are written in the stars. Stories of time before man and gods, when Titans ruled the earth. The Titans were powerful but their reign was ended by their own sons: Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Zeus convinced his brother Hades, to create a beast so strong it could defeat their parents. And from his own flesh, Hades gave birth to an unspeakable horror, The Kraken. Zeus became king of the heavens, Poseidon, king of the seas, and Hades, tricked by Zeus, was left to rule the underworld in darkness and in misery. It was Zeus who created man, and man's prayers fed the gods' immortality. But in time, mankind grew restless. They began to question the gods and, finally, rise up against them. Into this world, a child was born. A boy who would change everything. |

Mankind had grown tired of the gods' mistreatment and cruelty. Acrisius led a siege on Olympus. It is said the other gods wanted to simply lay waste to Acrisius and his army, but Zeus loved man too much. Instead, he chose to make an example of Acrisius. He disguised himself as the king and visited the chamber where the king's wife was sleeping. |
| Hades |
|
Argos is fallen. Do you feel stronger, brother? You thought the Kraken would bring you their prayers, but the Kraken is my child. It feeds only me. |
| Zeus |
|
I command Olympus! Remember who you serve! |
| Hades |
|
I serve myself! I have, since you cheated me. You sent me to the Underworld to be hated while you basked in their love. |
| Zeus |
|
We need the love of humans. |
| Hades |
|
No, you needed. I survive on their fear. Your reign is over, Brother Zeus. You'll watch while my blessed avenger devours their hopes and then finally, you'll know my pain. |
| Zeus |
|
There is still a demigod in Argos, brother. Perseus... |
| Hermes |
|
Zeus, you must bring an end to this. They attack our temples! |
| Poseidon |
|
How dare to desecrated Zeus' image! |
| Demeter |
|
We could reach out! |
| Apollo |
|
Accommodation could be made! A truce! |
| Zeus |
|
No! I created them. And they reward my love with defiance?! There will be no truce! |
| Hades |
|
Finally, some rage from you. How long has it been? How long, brother, since you my face? |
| Zeus |
|
Hades. |
| Hades |
|
Endless years I've watched from the Underworld and saw your wrath tempered with love. You created them for one reason, so their prayers fuel our immortality. But you loved them too well, they've grown strong. And now, I am forced to rise because we are all threatened. |
| Zeus |
|
What do you want, brother? |
| Hades |
|
Let me loose upon them. They will pray again and you will obey them all in fear. And we will grow strong again. |
| Apollo |
|
He belongs in the Underworld, not here! |
| Hades |
|
You do not tell me where I belong. You said his love that feeds us, but you depend on their love. I've only learned to live on their fear. Their pain. |
| Poseidon |
|
Zeus? Our brother speaks the truth. Give it to him. |
| Zeus |
|
Go, do what you will. |
| Apollo |
|
Father, we need the mortals! |
| Zeus |
|
No, Apollo. Hades is right. Their insolence are surprised. Like children, they need to be reminded of the order of things! Set an example, brother. Turn them on each other, and back into our arms. |

The beast. Medusa was beautiful once, so beautiful has tempted Poseidon. When he came for her, she ran to Athena's temple thinking that the goddess would protect her. She didn't. Poseidon took her on the cold floor. She prayed to Athena for comfort but the goddess found nothing but disgust. She made sure no one would ever want Medusa again, one look at the creature she has become would turn any living thing to stone. I cannot assist you though, the curse prevents me. It was Athena's one bitter solace to Medusa so that Medusa would never harm a woman. Only men are allowed in the temple, but no man has ever made it out. |
| Hades |
|
King Acrisius. |
| Calibos |
|
There is no Acricius! Just Calibos! |
| Hades |
|
We have a enemy in common, Zeus. |
| Calibos |
|
Zeus? |
| Hades |
|
My brother. |
| Calibos |
|
What do you want from me? |
| Hades |
|
Zeus' seed in your wife survived. The child of your shame. Perseus. |
| Calibos |
|
He lives? |
| Hades |
|
You murdered your wife for nothing, now Perseus housed himself from Argos to destroy me. He must die. |
| Calibos |
|
What would you have me do? |
| Hades |
|
Zeus must think I serve him but I am growing stronger. Until I possess my full power, you will be my weapon. Use this! Kill Perseus for me and I'll destroy Zeus for you. |
| Calibos |
|
I serve you. The boy will die! |
