PROLOGUE
"The end has come, Father," Ares murmured under his breath as he impaled the Godkiller sword into the heart of Zeus. "Your love for the weak has rendered you incompetent to stand as the King of Olympus."
The once-glorious kingdom of the Olympians now lay in ruins, shrouded in blood-red clouds. Gods were conspicuously absent, leaving only the King of the Gods and the God of War.
"You will end me today, my child, but the love I have for you and the mortals will never cease to exist," Zeus fondly caressed his son's face before the God slowly succumbed to a deep slumber from which he would never awaken.
Ares remained stoic even in the death of his father. Blood continued to drip from his sword as he watched his King go limp and lifeless. Thunder growled in the skies above Olympus, and blood showered the kingdom – a celestial farewell to its wise and good-hearted king.
The God of War allowed the red liquid to drizzle on his face, a macabre baptism of power. A wicked smile played on his lips as he felt the surging energy rushing through his veins—the gift of slaying the most powerful God in Olympus.
Unbeknownst to Ares, in the moments before Zeus drew his last breath, the King utilized the last vestiges of his power to summon the Orb of Truth—the celestial arbiter that would determine the birth of the new Gods.
