War Of gods

Chapter seven

Perseus landed the Griffin beside river Asopus,he had to keep the mortal safe,he had to keep her off the ground and the only way he could achieve that was with the help of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Poseidon decided to help Perseus, in return Perseus would join forces with him to fight Hercules who became a threat the moment he wielded the thunderbolt.

Poseidon, Perseus observed was also scared of the mayhem the thunderbolt was capable of unleashing, not only on the land but also on his abode,the sea.
Even Poseidon's weapon,the Trident was no match for Zeus thunderbolt.

Perseus briefed Poseidon on his plan to find the three Cyclops brothers, Brontes,Steropes and Argues who forged Zeus thunderbolt, he was sure they could forge a replica which would help in the fight against Hercules.

Poseidon told Perseus where he could find the three Cyclops who forged his Trident and Zeus thunderbolt amongst other weapons.He also sent his son,Polyphemus, a cyclops,as a mediator should in case they refuse to help Perseus.

The next morning,Perseus bid the mortal farewell promising to return in time. He and Polyphemus mounted on the Griffin as they embarked on a quest,a quest which the fate of the world depended on.

Meanwhile, in mount Olympus there was a war going on.Hercules was battling Ares and his counterparts as he began the phase one of his plan,which was to claim Zeus throne.

With the thunderbolt, Hercules killed anyone who confronted him as several gods and goddesses scurried to safety.Some changed form so as to hide themselves from the power drunk Hercules.

Ares being the god of war refused to flee,he fought Hercules, a fight that was regarded as the greatest in the history of mount Olympus.

Hercules eventually overpowered Ares with the help of the thunderbolt. He plucked out Ares left eye and threw him in prison.

Ares cohorts scattered on hearing the news of their leader's defeat.A new leader had emerged,a leader with stupendous power.

Kratos,the ghost of Sparta who was summoned by Ares to assist him in fighting Hercules was the first to pay homage to Hercules, the newly crowned king of the gods.

Kratos pledged to support Hercules with his great spartan army.Kratos,with his army eliminated anyone who didn't pledge his/her allegiance to Hercules,it was a blood bath,a great carnage.

The street of Athens was smeared with blood,wailings were heard at every corner as kratos and his army unleashed hell upon the habitants of Athens.

The news of Perseus riding on the most feared griffin reached the ears of Hercules, he was perplexed as he never expected Perseus to survive the battle with one of Athens most vicious monsters.He couldn't fathom how Perseus managed to tame a monster that took him five years to tame.

Hercules,being aware of the threat Perseus would be to his reign,sent Kratos after him,he gave him the strict order to capture him alive.

Meanwhile,at mount Taygetos the home of Cyclops, Ares and Polyphemus were on their quest of finding the three Cyclops brothers who forged Zeus thunderbolt.

As Perseus walked through the street of Taygetos,he noticed the huge eyes of all the Cyclops gawping at him,muttering as they strode pass him,

He wasn't aware of why he was so popular until his gaze caught a "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster of him with a huge bounty placed on his capture.

Quickly,he lifted the hood of his robe over his head concealing his face.

After several hours of asking and searching,they finally discovered the three cyclops cottage where they met them working.

They were surprised at seeing Perseus ,the most wanted god in Athens walking around in a place where every living thing wanted to capture him and claim the enormous bounty placed on his head.

Without wasting time, Polyphemus told them the reason they came.The brothers weren't surprised as they knee it was the only reason Perseus would risk his life.

The Cyclops brothers bluntly refused to forge a replica of Zeus thunderbolt as they feared it'll be another cause of worry should it fall into another wrong hand.

Perseus pleaded with the brothers as he tried to make them understand that it was the only way to stop Hercules from accomplishing his evil plan.

The brothers held as secret talk amongst each other and agreed to help Perseus only if he helped them kill a group of monsters that have been troubling their city,a creature Perseus was well familiar with,a creature known as centaurs.

Centaurs are known to be half-man half-horse creatures who inhabited mountains and forest,they were savages.

Perseus agreed to help them.Quickly,they forged an harpe sword for Perseus,a sword that could slice through metal in a jiffy,it was the only weapon apart from Zeus thunderbolt and Poseidon's Trident that could effectively kill centaurs, especially Rhoetus, their leader.
