The Fulfiller An Epic Poem Part I


Part I

Long ago,

A great soldier walked the Earth by the name of Theos,
A brave and humbled man,
Who lived with his with his beautiful wife Eumelia,
And infant son Artemis.
Theos was the general of the Hoplites
The greatest warriors that Greece has ever known,
But Theos was the mightiest of them all.
He possessed ferocious strength and thunderous ability in combat.
Many say that he was one of the fiercest swordsmen to have ever lived.
Fighting over two-thousand battles,
Slaying his opponents with his mystical sword and shield he called
Anikitos and Alondra.
It is said that Anikitos and Alondra was forged with the blood of Typhon,
"The Father of All Monsters",
So big that when he stood his head touched the moon and stars,
Released by Hades to Set Hell on Earth in the battle of Olympus and the Underworld
Slayed by no other than Zeus the God of the Heavens.
This tale traveled far and wide
Along with the name Theos.
Whose victories sang
From Earth to Olympus.
Where the Gods watched with elation,
Creating whispers of his prestige across the palaces of marble and gold
Until the Gods called him
"Theos the Mighty Mortal"

Zeus,
The Father of all the Gods
Became aware of the Mighty Mortal
His bravery,
His humbleness,
And his skill in combat.
Zeus decided that he would make Theos a demigod
To live immortally in Olympus,
And lead the Army of the Heavens as its commander.
He held a great meeting to inform all the Gods of his plan.
The Gods across Olympus cheered
Ecstatic from the news that was received from their father.
No mortal had accomplished such a feet.
To be made a demigod by Zeus himself
The name Theos brought celebration to Olympus,
And everyone took part in festivities.
Except for one
Ares.

Ares,
The God of War,
The Son of Zeus,
Was filled with rage
And fury
He wanted nothing more but to lead his father’s army.
Ares,
Filled with blood-lust,
Took pleasure in war and murder.
He was feared across Olympus
Through the heavens
To the Stars
On the Earth.
He was outraged at his father’s request
To make a mere mortal a demigod,
To give a man his title,
His birth right.
But Ares knew there was no changing his father’s mind
He was going to be stripped of his title
No longer the God of War
He trembled with anger
He shook with fear of no longer being feared
Until he heard a whisper
So faint as if coming from a cloud.
Ares asked for the voice to speak louder
The voice in a raspy tone spoke
"I can help you" it said
Ares heard this voice before
The voice was spine-chilling
As if all the things in the dark spoke at once
"Kill" the voice spoke again
"Kill?" Ares asked
"Kill Theos" the voice answered
Ares knew who this voice belong to
With no doubt in his mind
He knew it belonged to Hades.
His anger subsided
He grew calm,
His fears ceased,
His Problems now had an answer
And the most vicious smirk slithered across his face
"How?" He asked

-Don
