Chapter 10: Ten: My Fight With Zeus
I think I will be joining Humpty Dumpty soon!
And here I was thinking this was an adventure story. In the Olympian times war was a constant thing but not to be directly involved in them I chose to be Hades but now I have to fight the OP Zeus. Talk about karma.
I don't know the first thing about fighting, I used to be bullied as a child. I thought being proficient in my studies would exempt me from further bullying but it seems that is not the case.
Who knew fighting could save one's life, and I don't know the first thing about it.
I stood in the middle of the colosseum, luckily it was empty so no one would see my shame as I depart from this world.
Zeus stood there glaring at me, Poseidon stood as the referee in the middle of the colosseum. I for sure knew that the moment the match started I would end up dead.
"Now summon you weapons!" Poseidon boomed.
Zeus stretched out his hand and screamed. "BOOOLT!!" The sky cracked open as a huge golden surge of lightning shut down and dispersed, leaving behind a huge lightning bolt in Zues' hand.
Woooah! So cool! So that is the legendary bolt of Zues that I've read so much about. It's kind of good I get to die by it's dangerous and magnificent power.
Oh I wish I could summon my weapon— THE BIDENT! Poseidon uses THE TRIDENT which commands the sea. Zues' THUNDER BOLT commands the sky and my BIDENT commands the powers of the dead.
In all of the stories I have read I don't think I have ever heard of Hades using his bident in a real fight. I guess this would be the right time to display it's power too bad I can't summon it hehe.
Poseidon looked at me and frowned. "You don't even want to suon your bident, well let's see if you can handle Zeus that way. BEGIN!!"
I gulped down as the atmosphere immediately changed, Zeus hair and cloth started to hover in the air with crackles of gold lightning coming off him. I knew I was dead for sure, but didn't Zues like Hades? These gods are sure messed up.
I might not be a physical fighter but I have been fighting for my life since I was young, through the orphanage, through school, college even as a scholar I kept fighting so for some reason I was not afraid.
Even if I were to die now I do know for a fact that it was not in vain, I did everything I could. And I am not afraid of-- DEATH!
SWISH!!
When did Zeus close the distance between us? Is this it? This is... The end!!
I closed my eyes as accepted my fate with pride expecting to be electrocuted so hard my very soul would disintegrate to dust.
But...
"What!?" That was Zues, he sounded surprised about something.
The crackles of electricity sounded so close I could see it before my eyes. Oh! It was before my eyes.
I looked at Zues struggling to land his THUNDERBOLT on my face only to be stopped by a long steel spear with two prongs, it sizzled out black mlwisps of smoke and had many inscriptions on it.
"You finally summoned the bident!" Zeus jumped back putting some distance between us. "You even blocked my attack without interfering directly."
I don't know what he was talking about by I was scared by the fact that my story would come to a warp on day one.
Oh no!
Zeus vanished from my line of sight all of a sudden, I didn't even notice him move.
CLANG!!
I looked over my shoulder to see that the thunderbolt had been stopped once again by the bident. Is it me or is this thing sort of like a very reliable insurance tool. Again Zeus vanished like lightning and came from the side, the bidenimoved over and blocked it cleanly.
In about half a minute I had been attacked over one hundred million times. Call it over exaggeration if you will but the sparks just went flying off too many times to count. Zues was lightning in the literal sense, i could barely even follow him.
"You had better fight Hades! Do you think disgracing me like this would make you the winner?" Zeus said calmly.
For someone who was about to be killed I felt awfully calm. Like my body was already conditioned for situations suck as this. But Zeus was right I have to take the initiative to win this. I know it's scary but if I want to complete this story I have to do it—
I have to beat ZEUS— THE STRONGEST GOD ON OLYMPUS!!!
