A eerie silence covered the white space. At the middle of the space, two humanoid entities seemed to be staring at each other. “Why have you called me here Prometheus” said the larger one of the pair breaking the unbearable silence.
”Ah so you came after all Zeus” the entity named Prometheus responded. “It is almost time for the apocalypse Prometheus , I hope you’re not here to stop me because of your lingering feelings for the humans you created , they have grown too out of control , too powerful both the Demons of Hades and those Humans of yours” Zeus yelled at Prometheus in a booming voice which shook the whole room.
“ Of course not I would not dare too.” Prometheus responded calmly “But why not make things make a bit more interesting?” Zeus seemed intrigued by the statement Prometheus made.”Why not create a Hero to represent both the Humans and Demons each, otherwise things would get quite boring wouldn't it by just destroying both of them?” Zeus narrowed his eyes and asked” Why would say something like that since you seem to have taken a liking for mankind , they would get destroyed in the end wouldn't they.”
Prometheus simply smiled and said “In the end them getting destroyed would be inevitable so wouldn't it be more fun to have things be more dynamic while we’re at it.” Zeus took a while before answering” I will approve….. for now but they will have major restrictions placed on them and remember I’ll be keeping my eye on you” Zeus said before dissolving into nothingness.
Prometheus smiled to himself in satisfaction. Darkness swirled behind him and a tall figure dressed in complete black materialized.”It looks he believed it doesn't it Prometheus?” asked the dark-clothed man to Prometheus.”Seems like it doesn't it Hades.”
”Let’s hope your little game of lies will prevail and save both our races.” The man clothed in Dark seemed troubled.”Maybe… it all depends on the child, he will go through hurdles even Gods would cower before. Have done your tasks?”
” I have already asked Chronos for the favor but that's not what I'm worried about. On the way here I met Apollo , he gave me a Prophecy.”
“What did he say.” Prometheus asked in a worried tone.
“The child born from darkness and fire
May lead the two races when in dire
But tragedy follows where he goes
Brought upon him by his foes
Allies he shall meet along the way
A home, he will find a place to stay
He may become a uniter who makes peace between the races
Or be a Destroyer with two faces “
“How do you know that the prophecy’s true ? You must know that Apollo loves messing with people” Prometheus asked Hades.
“Because it rhymes.” Hades said with a serious expression on his face. It was known among all the Gods that the ruler of the Dead does not joke around. ’Which means he seriously meant that’ Prometheus had to keep his mouth from bursting with laughter. Well , guess that’s what happens when you live in a dark gloomy place surrounded by ghosts with no social interaction.

A sound of a woman weeping was heard deep in the forest. In a small secret location there was a cottage near impossible to find. There were three people currently in that cottage. “I’m sorry Dave I just can’t stay here.” A woman who’s face was tear strained said.
”But Julie I love you it doesn't matter if my father doesn't accept you or if we can’t have a child none of that is your fault.”The man beside her lovingly told her. “You don’t understand my love I want you to be happy if you’re with you will never feel happiness that you deserve with me.”
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
Both of them looked to be in their early twenty’s. The woman beside her who looked like a doctor was trying to console her.” Julie it’s ok, even if you can’t have a child you still have Dave.” Dave was the son of one of the high-end nobles. When he and Julie fell in love, his father couldn't accept the fact that he would have a commoner as a daughter in law. So both of them went into hiding hoping that he would accept them when he had a grandchild to dot on.
A few days ago Julie started throwing up. Her period was also late. Both of them were overjoyed and were expecting good news. But unfortunately it seemed that fate had other plans for them.
It turned out Julie was infertile and was unable to bear a child. Dave was devastated but he had to act strong for his wife.”Julie please don’t care.”
“I’m sorry my love” Julie said before dashing out of the house. Dave didn't look back and immediately went after her. But by the time he came out out Julie was already gone and Dave had lost her but he wasn't about to give so easily and he went deeper into the jungle.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Julie ran deeper into the massive jungle. She didn't look back not even once. She hated herself for doing this , but he deserved better. As she went deeper she started to hear a voice almost like a child’s.
She followed the voice without knowing where she was going .As she got closer to the voice she came to a clearing. At the middle of a clearing there layed a child.
The child was being circled by a pack of three Wild tigers. Before Julie met Dave she was a Hunter, a profession which she inherited from her father. Her father always advised her to carry something for self-defense and she heeded his advice by always carrying a pack of hunting knives with her.
She retrieved three of them and aimed at the largest one . The three knives hit its heart and instantly killed it. The other two had noticed her and were coming towards her.
She managed to kill one in two shots but the last one was still coming towards her and she was out of knives.”JULIE!!!” She heard a familiar voice call out to her . Before she could respond the tiger was already dead pierced right at the middle of the chest by sword.
”Are you ok ?” Dave asked her.He looked like he had walked through hell. “I’m fine Dave, but what about the child.” Julie worriedly asked Dave. Dave walked over to the child laying on the ground and picked him up.”Julie …… Why don’t we take him?”Dave asked Julie while smiling.”Can we?....I would love too but what about the your father?”
“Bah don’t worry about it for now I’m gonna take a job at the city and we’ll live together.” Both of them smiled at each other before heading back.”I don’t mean to spoil things which is the way back” “…………………”

Finally after leaching off this site for a whole year I have decided to make an account and put up a story. Can this even be counted as prologue, its way too big to be one. But once I started writing I couldn't stop so yeah. Anyway after coming to this site and reading I realized something….most of the protagonist’s here are incredibly strong from the get go. They either had incredible potential or were incredibly strong from birth. So I decided to make a protagonist who is rather weak at the beginning but slowly grows stronger but there would still be many people stronger than him which sounds really cliched and it really is. Well Now even the AN is big. Constructive criticism is welcome since its my first story.
