So this prologue if for the first book in our {my friend and I} book series. {FYI, we're already working on book three and almost finishing it, and a heads up, that we're also writing this from a Christian/religious point of view so let me know if you don't want to read it}

Anyway, brief summary of what's the book is about, we're basing this off from mythologies, so you'll find some familar deity names, in which we swtched to as Kings and Queens of Mythlan.

Well.....uh, hope you enjoy! {Note: I wrote most of the prologue. My friend wrote the very last paragraph}

Prologue

“You wanted to see me, Zeus?”

“Yes. Thank you for coming, Hecate.”

“Is it about—”

“Sigh– I’m afraid so. I’m sorry, but…I’m going to have to have him resign. It’s too dangerous.”

“…I understa—”

A soldier burst through the doors. “Your Highness!!”

“What is it?”

“The captain…pant-pant…he’s wiping out your army!!!”

Zeus shot up from his throne. “WHAT?!?!?!”

Hecate sadly shook her head. “I was afraid this was going to happen. Don’t worry, Zeus. I’ll take care of him. You worry about your surviving and wounded soldiers.”

Zeus nodded. “Be careful, Hecate. You know how he is now.”

“I will.”

“Well, well. If it isn’t the two darkest powers: Hades and Hecate.”

Queen Hecate and King Hades faced a man across the battlements of the wall surrounding King Zeus’ palace. His wiry dark brown hair flowed in the wind, his light red-brown eyes glowing hatred.

“Why are you doing this?” Hecate asked.

“Why? Isn’t it obvious? For power. Zeus’ throne is the highest, above allthe other thrones. And it belongs to me and only me!”

“How does taking Zeus’ throne give you more power than what you already have?” Hades asked. “How will you obtain happiness by doing this?”

“Happiness…is nothing but a myth! There is no happiness. There is only hatred and pain among others.”

Hecate panted. She and Hades fought their new enemy with all they had, but he countered them easily. She was gathering up her remaining strength as Hades rushed at him. But what happened next was beyond their knowledge.

The man had created a black mass and turnedit into five thin cylinders, looking like spears. He then sent them telepathically towards Hades, one piercing him through.

“AIRMED!” Hecate rushed to his side. Queen Airmed arrived a couple of seconds later with Queen Artemis and King Ares. Airmed tended to Hades’ wound.

The evil-minded man laughed. “Just you wait. One of these days, I’ll gain enough power to overthrow ALLof you! Understand that between us from now on…it’s WAR!! I’ll be back to conquer Mythlan and retrieve my most powerful weapon!”

Hecate watched as he disappeared, his forehead protector falling off. A single tear slid down her cheek.

Seventeen Years Later…

The soldiers were becoming hopeless. The War had been going on for five years now, and there was so much death that mostly everyone had completely lost their hope. The new recruits still had spirit. But that wouldn’t last long.

They were strong now, only because the Kings and Queens were fighting with them. If they didn’t get some help soon, they were all going to die.
