Atlas the Titan

Zeus: "Yon ways come to an end, titan. Thus thou claim over the earth shall go in infamy!" And with that, Zeus throws down a huge lightning bolt at Atlas' back sending him crashing into his titanic men.

With another bolt, the ground splits asunder and with a wave of his hand, great winds blow the entire platoon into the crevasse.

His men scream in horror, begging for mercy.

Zeus: "I say thee nay! Mercy shall not pass across the lips of such scoundrels! Let the underworld welcome you with a milk filled bosom, for the devils shall not soil the earth again. Hermes, to my side."

And like a swift wind...

Hermes: "At thee service, sire." Kneeling before his lord.

Zeus: "Be swift, my child. Swift as though all the pillars of Olympus depend upon thy parchment to be delivered to my dark brother."

Hermes: "Lord Hades?"

Zeus: "Aye. The punishment of Atlas."

(Shaking his head out of his private thoughts, he now pays attention on his current situation.)

Atlas: "The rest is a blur. Banished from the surface world, and carried over the River Styx. Transported to my current dilemma."

He glances over to Lord Hades castle. From between the beads of sweat, a smile creeps across his face. To escape, he knows what he has to do and who must be a part of his plan.
