Death's Incarnations

In a bleak and dreary land within the depths of the greek underworld, an extremely large palace could be seen standing alone in a field of dead souls that were roaming about aimlessly. 

Sleeping peacefully outside the front gate was a massive and ferocious black dog with three heads. 

Every snore sounded by the great beast caused the rocks underneath him to tremble as if they were going through an earthquake. 

Suddenly, the three headed hound woke up and stared at a certain spot as if it was waiting for something to appear. 

"Grrrrr..."

Even though the beast's growls were low, they still sounded like rolling thunder and were equally as menacing as the rest of his appearance.

The spot where the guard dog was looking suddenly vibrated and shadows rose up to take the form of a massive... man?
