War Of gods

Chapter Ten

Polyphemus ordered for the immediate treatment of Perseus who was at the point of death having suffered from exsanguination.

Perseus didn't survive,he had lost too much blood as a result of the spear Rhoetus pierced into his side.

The news of his death was a shock to the gods and inhabitants of Athens as many believed he was fighting for their cause.Hercules,on hearing the news of Perseus death was pleased.With the aid of kratos,Hercules had thwarted the plan of the three cyclops brothers to make a replica of Zeus thunderbolt.

The brothers were gruesomely murdered by kratos before they could forge the thunderbolt.Polyphemus, who was with the brothers escaped kratos blade and went in search of Perseus who he found fighting Rhoetus.

Polyphemus was the one who advice Perseus to fake his death so as to stop kratos and his army from trailing him.
Perseus life was spared once again by Apollo,the god of healing who was quick to come to his aid while he bled profusely.

Hercules,believing the false news of Perseus death ordered kratos and his army back to Olympus where he had a new assignment for them,an assignment which if properly executed would make him god of both the land and the sea.

For him to accomplish that he would have to pull off one of the greatest assassination in the history of Olympus,he would have to assassinate Zeus brother,Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Poseidon,being the god of the sea and earthquake conjured an opening in a rock where he hid the mortal as he prepared to battle Hercules, a battle of supremacy,a battle of good and evil,light and darkness,a battle whose outcome would forever change the history of the world.

Soon,news of the impending battle between Hercules and Poseidon reached Polyphemus who prepared his army of centaurs as he prepared to go into war with Hercules.

Perseus offered to help as the life of the mortal was also at stake but Polyphemus advised to stay so as to avoid being seen by Hercules or his cohorts who believed he was dead.

Polyphemus promised to rescue the mortal and bring her safely to Perseus.With legions of centaurs summoned from all corners of the earth,Polyphemus went into battle with kratos and his Spartan army as Hercules prepared to fight Poseidon.

The battle between kratos ruthless army and Polyphemus legions of centaurs was a bloodbath,several centaurs were killed as they were forced to retreat.

Polyphemus was captured by kratos and imprisoned with the intension of being used as a leverage should the need arise.

Poseidon, angry at the news of his son's capture unleashed a great tempest of earthquakes and hurricanes on kratos and his army causing them to scatter and flee.

How dare a mortal battle a god! Kratos managed to escape Poseidon's wrath as he watched his army flee for their lives.Some fled to the hills of Athos where they met their death as Poseidon caused a great earthquake which buried them alive.The ones who attempted to flee by sea where attacked by mysterious sea monsters who caused their boat to capsize sending them to the murky depths of the sea.Poseidon was angry!

Hercules,being aware of the impending casualties Poseidon's wrath would incur threatened to kill Polyphemus if he didn't surrender and hand over his Trident, the main source of his power.

Poseidon had no choice but to adhere to Hercules demand,he surrendered his trident to Hercules and was imprisoned along with his son.His hands were bounded so he couldn't conjure anything,he was defenceless.

Poseidon was tortured as he was forced to reveal where he hid the mortal.He gave out her location after Hercules once again threatened to impale his son right before his eyes.He was made to choose between the life of his son and that of the mortal whom he promised Perseus he would protect.
