1 Towards End-

"This is the end, puny human!" A heavy voice echoed with determination.

The sky was dark, the land was filled with blazing fire that was turning everything into ashes. Passing by them, a bulky figure comes forth, who covered in blazing red flames. The figure walks little further, then stood still and tilted his face down to look a man in front. The man, who was covered in blood and bandages, as he struggles to lay his back on a giant rock. His right arm was shedding blood enormously! Yet, a bold smile appeared on his face, as he tilted his head upward in the direction of that figure, whom some people consider being a GOD! He replied with absolute confidence.

"Nah… this is just a beginning…"

-January. 20. 1434-

"Olympus?" A tiny voice said with confusion. "Yes, Olympus, a place where god and goddesses live, as it ruled by mighty Zeus. Zeus, a man who fought against evil and protected the earth, centuries ago." An adult replied with composure, as he continues. "After winning the holy war, he had two children 'Ares' and 'Herse' Elder one regarded as the god of war, the undefeated, and the younger one as the god of strength, the strongest." As adult finished his storytelling, the small voice said with fascination. "Wow, God of War!" The adult asked as he laughed away. "You like him?" A boy tilted his head upwards. His short hair was brown as chocolate, just the same as his brown skin. Eyes of his were large with yellow irises, just like a sunflower, he wore a golden small robe and when he tilted head, his red cheeks wiggle. With the sparkle in his eyes, he said excitingly. "He is cool! He is just like big brother, a warrior who can't be defeated." The big brother of his, who walk by his side and had blonde hair. He looks in his early twenties and had same irises as little one, but his skin tone was a little brighter than younger, as he wore a shiny golden armour that shines when the sun reflects upon it along with a red cape hanging behind. His blonde eyebrows twitch as he made a shallow face and with that, he spaced out assays. "Indeed, the undefeated…" Sees his elder brother unhappy, little one says with a tiny voice. "Brother, are you not feeling well? Did Hatim made brother sad?" Elder sees kindness of little, as he put a large smile on his face, and says with composure. "So, do you like God of war?" Younger excitingly replies. "Yes! Very much, tell Hatim more about him" Elder continue about Ares with composure. "Hmm… He can shoot fireballs and he can also cover himself in fire…" The pair of brothers walk into the city with the tales of the God of War onto lips.

Walking into a large gateway that leads to the city inside, they were stopped by guards wearing metallic plates and holding two-sided spear and a helmet with feathers at above, called: Corinthian helmet. The area beside the gate was covered by huge walls that were ten meters long and seems very thick. The gate always protected by five guards, as after examining the pair of brothers, the guards immediately held their chest high, as one of them says hesitantly.

"L–Lord Leocus, where have you been? Queen is worrying sick about you!"

An intense glare gazed upon guard by Leocus that's makes them surrender and let the pair pass. While so, Hatim hides behind Leocus, holding his red cape tightly with a little bit of tremble. A hand comes on Hatim's head making him comfortable. When pair walk onto city streets, every man, woman gazes upon Leocus, from their brick house, wooden shop, tiresome labour, knowing, he is the prince of Land Artelia! Pair walk towards the huge castle up ahead, eventually reaching it as he stands in front gate yet again. The castle was made of white marbles that could be seen from far away because sunlight reflects upon it. The golden doors opened by guards whom armour set was different with having silver plates and sharp long swords, as they welcome them, by bowing head down. The castle from inside was, not very different from outside while having ice white marble as well. As soon as they entered, a voice comes forth immediately. "Leocus! Where have you been? You should know your health better than anyone!" Ignoring the voice completely, Leocus sees the castle and shout a name. "Adrian!" As called, a person comes forth wearing a white robe with kind of horn looking pendant onto neck while he has brown hairs and beard as he asks. "Yes, my master"

"Didn't I tell you to do preparations for today?" Leocus said.

Adrian looks at Lady standing on the above floor. Who wears a pink shiny dress, who was looking in her early forties, but her blonde hair doesn't match her age. Her expression was twisted as she gazes an intense glare at Hatim. Hatim, who saw the glare hid behind Leocus cape, and yet again began trembling. Sees his brother in agony, Leocus shout while looking at lady above. "Adrian began the preparations for tonight and send an invitation to her, as well!" Upon hearing the word 'Her' the tense on Adrian grew even more, as a bead of sweat reaches his nose. Lady at above tightens her grip on golden railing immensely. "Listen well, son of mine, if 'she' comes, then none of us will be joining…" A heavy voice echoed with composure from a man above stairs, as he began to step down. He looked quite old despite being in his middle forties with silver hairs and beard, and having yellowish, sunflower irises same as the two sons of his. He wore a golden shiny armour with lightning silhouette carved into and red fur Cape behind. He passes by a huge artwork on the wall; of a man holding a golden spear and wore the same armour lightning carved armour. 'The Alexander' name of his was written at the bottom. After reaching Leocus up in front, he says while gazed into his son's pupils. "So, what is your answer?" Leocus looked at the man in front wearing a shiny golden crown that was filled with various gems. He tightens his grip that makes a solid fist, as he says. "Leonal…"

"It is not wise to call your father by name, if outsider finds about this, there might be a commotion…" Leonal replied with composure.

Leocus loosen his fist as puts a hand on little one back, who was trembling immensely, comforting him yet again. He says with composure. "Very well… then I shall leave everything to you, Leonal…" Leocus said as he took a turn and began walking further into the castle, but before he goes into distance, Leonal turnaround and says calmly. "Beware, son of mine. Next time regards me as Leonal II!" Leocus ignored the comment and continue his walk with Hatim.

While undergoing into the castle, Hatim tilted head upward to see Leocus, then say hesitantly. "Brother, are you ill? Mother always worries about you…" Yet again sees kindness of little one, he smiled as knelt and hugs Hatim. Hatim returned the favour and hugs the elder one tightly. The moment was delighted by the bond of siblings while making it more beautiful, Leocus whispered to Hatim slowly. "Thanks, little one."
