(Kratos and Dratos walk through the open doors of the temple, seeking an audience with the Oracle to uncover the answers that crept in their minds as the door close behind them)
(They are now inside the temple, ready to find the Oracle)
(We see two statues holding a giant hour glass as doors to the left of them, revealing five skinny, tried slaves wearing masks, trying to push a stone head of someone through the doorway)
Slave 1: Hurry! Before the master approaches!
(A tall, old man wearing a small cloak holding a staff, rises from the floor looking quite mad at the slaves)
Tall Old Man: You!
(one of the slaves turns toward then tall, old man clearly scared, while the other slaves tremble at the sight of the man before them)
Tall Old Man: We have given you all need for success and yet you still fail us! The statues were to be completed by now!
(The tall man with a blue-glowing, gold Amulet looks at the slaves in slight rage, holding onto the staff with both hands)
Slave 1: It is a massive task you have set before us, master. My brothers, they-they need food and rest.
(Slave number one, walks up to the tall man, motioning to his brothers trying to reason with him)
Tall Old Man: You have not been asked to speak!
(The tall man, takes his staff and stabs the bottom of it, through slave number one's skull, killing him)
(The man glares at the other slave, making sure they don't talk back at him like their fallen brother tried to do)
(They seem not to be brave enough to do anyway)
Tall Old Man: And who will be next?
(The slave didn't question him, instead they got back to pushing the statue, avoiding the same fate)
(The tall man looks at one of the slave that is helping his brothers out, make a discussion on what to make of him)
Tall Old Man: You! You there!
(The man turns quickly to the tall man and slowly walks to him)
Tall Old Man: You are now charged with the task of completing the statues
Slave 2: (Bows) As you wish
Tall Old Man: We hope your work is better than that of your friend here. We can no longer stand the sight of you. You make us sick
(Slave number two picks up the body of slave number one and drags him away as the tall old man walks away, leaving the slaves to their work)
(The old man uses the amulet to start the hour glass letting the slaves know, they need to work quickly to get the statues done or they will meet dire consequences)
(He steps on a platform that seems to be an elevator, brings him down to a lower level)
Tall Old Man: Worthless lot. Pathetic. Every last one of them.
