War of the Gods: Prelude

The door to the castle was buckling. They were going to get in no matter what was done. A massive shield couldn't stop what was to transpire. All she knew is that they had to get their son out of the castle and off the island. There was no way that their way of life would be destroyed by this jealousy. This insatiable need to dominate all life. It wasn't that He wanted to destroy it, He wanted it mind, body, and soul. And what better way then to destroy everything that stood in his way.

Like us, she thought. He knows that we will not stand for it. Gods and human's would not stand for it if they only knew the truth, but there was so much misinformation. Misinformation that He had started to drive forth using fear and lies with such confidence that the idiots would follow.

They had to get out of here and fast!

Bam! Bam! The door started to buckle. Her spell was almost finished. A last ditch attempt to transport her child across vast distances. There was not way that she could fight them all off and protect her child at the same time.

The door all of a sudden exploded outward. Shards of timber blowing into the room and straight at both of them. Her spell was interrupted. She dived down over her child to protect him from the shards of the timber, while she tried to cover her head too.

"Grab them," It said, as it came into the room. Demons flying into the room. They all stared at her as they cautiously moved more into the room. She threw up her hand and shot lighting out of her palm and right at the Demonic General. It threw up its arm, shield emanating from the gauntlet on its forearm. The bolt hit the shield and ricocheted into one of its pawns. Killing it.

"That was not smart Goddess."

The Demon moved into the room more and as it did a black cloak formed from its back. The "cloak" swirled around the Demon and shot up towards the roof. She threw up her arm again creating a shield around her and the child, splitting the room from them and her.

"I will not bow to you or to your Lord. He does not have the Right to Lord over all. No matter what, we will fight you." She said fiercely.

She wrapped her arms around her child as it began to cry. Almost knowing that it was time to go. She whispered her love into his ear as she finished her spell. Sacrificing herself to save him. Her Hope.

"NO!" The Demon rushed the shield as the swirling Light engulfed the child sending it away. The shield exploding outward using her Celestial Life force to finish the, all off. Room exploding all around while the child looked on into new found eyes.

"What a gorgeous child." said the woman staring at him.

"Now where did you come from little guy," said the man smiling.

"He must be a gift from the Gods," said her husband.

"We shall keep him then," she asked with hope. The child giggling as she tried to eat his little feet.

"Of course we will. Never deny a gift from the gods."

"He's beautiful. What should we name him?"

"Antinous."


(This concludes a Prelude to what I am currently toying with.)
