THE LEGENDARY HAMMER

THE BETRAYAL

THERON: {they arrive at a nice place for the day’s rest} I think we will have to stop for a while

THALOR: {refusing} It is not yet dark enough

THERON: We still have to hunt to get what to eat tonight

THALOR: {disagrees} No, I think we keep moving

HELENA: {cuts in} Both of you should stop acting like children and allow Kratos to decide {all of them looks at Kratos}

KRATOS: {thinks for sometime} Ok {speaks} we make a tent, I am going fishing {Theron rejoices while Thalor is angry}

ANDROMEDA: {tries to talk to Thalor} Stopping here is not a bad idea

THERON: {Kratos comes back with a huge fish} Wow, you are one of a kind Kratos {Kratos keeps quiet and tries to roast the fish}

THALOR: {after Kratos was through roasting the fish and they are having a taste of it} This is nice

ANDROMEDA: {agrees} Not bad

HELENA: {nods} This is too good I must say

KRATOS: Night guys

HELENA: {talks to Thalor} Is he always this cold?

THALOR: {nods} There is more about him still to be seen

In Kratos dreams

KRATOS: {confused where he is} Where am I? {looks around and sees everywhere in ruins}

GOD HEK: {answers} This is the fate of the world if you don't act fast

KRATOS: {looks at him} Who are you?

GOD HEK: Why have I not heard your prayers

KRATOS: Damn the gods

GOD HEK: You are mine Kratos, I brought you into this world for a purpose

KRATOS: {smiles} Your brothers sit in the skies while you rot in hell and now a mortal will do their job. Everything I loved has been taken away from me and I don’t even know my real parents.

GOD HEK: {lets out a deep breath} I understand your pain, but it is your destiny

KRATOS: {disagrees} You can’t decide my destiny, I choose my own path

GOD HEK: Then why did you pick up this task?

KRATOS: I want to make those who killed my mother pay with their lives. Now if you get out of my head, I will be on my way with my crew

GOD HEK: Dangers lie ahead Kratos even among your crew. The hammer was forged with nature; the temple of Oasis will only give you a clue, but the main journey lies ahead.

KRATOS: {nods} Thanks, a lot

GOD HEK: I will always be with you, just ask {Kratos nods} You can take your leave

HELENA: {Kratos wakes, stands with force and leaves the venue where others are; Helena sees him and follows immediately}

Can’t sleep?

KRATOS: {turns back} Yeah, you too

HELENA: Not exactly {comes close} Tell me what happened

KRATOS: {sighs} I saw Hek

HELENA: What did he tell you?

KRATOS: He showed me the world if I fail in my quest

HELENA: {taps his shoulder} Don’t worry it will be ok

In the morning

THALOR: I guess this is a bright day

ANDROMEDA: {looks at Thalor} You are always changing your mood like a chameleon

THELON: {asks Kratos} Have you met the god of balance?

KRATOS: {nods} I believe; yes

THELON: What did he tell you?

KRATOS: {everyone interested in what he wants to say} He said; his hammer is forged from nature; the temple will just give me a clue {looks at Andromeda} How far are we from the temple?

ANDROMEDA: {opens the map} Just 2km away

KRATOS: If that is the case; I guess we need to move immediately

THELON: {casts a spell and sends out a fly} Go {he tells the fly}

THALOR: {wonders} What is that?

THELON: {answers but a lie} It is a knowing spell; it helps me to know when there is danger around

HELENA: We need to keep moving

Scene shifts

DIA: {smiles} I think our sorcerer is with them

AIMON: What?

DIA: He just sent his present location with the boy

AIMON: {turns to her soldiers} Lets move

Scene shifts

THALOR: {sees something glowing} What’s that {he goes closer}

THELON: A gift from the gods for the gifted one

KRATOS: What’s that

THALOR: {brings it} An arrow and a sword

THELON: The arrow of justice and the uneven sword

KRATOS: {wonders} Uneven sword?

THELON: {answers} It is not just a sword it transforms to anything you can think of in time of danger.

KRATOS: And the arrow?

THELON: It doesn’t miss, and a strike on the ground can teleport you to anywhere just by the thought of the shooter. To ordinary hands it is just a mere arrow and a sword but in the hands of the gifted one it is extraordinary.

KRATOS: {nods} Seems the gods are not so selfish afterall

THELON: Use it well

KRATOS: {collects both weapons} Well, I can’t handle both at the same time {he gives the arrow with its bow to Helena} Here, hope you can handle it? {she nods in agreement}

THELON: {wonders to himself} How is it that the arrow still glows in her hand

THALOR: Did you say something?

THELON: {recovers himself} What? No, nothing

ANDROMEDA: {cuts in} we are not far from what the map says

KRATOS: We move

ANDROMEDA: {they arrive at a spot} I don’t understand

THALOR: What do you mean?

ANDROMEDA: According to the map we end here

THELON: I think this is why it has never been found because somehow it has never existed

HELENA: There must be a way {looks at Kratos} You can do something

KRATOS: How?

THELON: Pray to Hek

KRATOS: {sighs} How?

THELON: Try

KRATOS: {sighs} Hek if you hear me, show me the way {Hek speaks to him “follow the wind”} I think we need to keep going forward

THELON: We move

KRATOS: Stop {he straightens his hand and notices a division like a barrier and enters it and others follow}

THALOR: Wow we are here

ANDROMEDA: We are finally here

KRATOS: Guess it is no more a myth anymore; lets get what we came here for {they claim up to the main hall of the temple}

THALOR: Is that not a scroll

THELON: {picks it up from the slab for sacrifice} Lets go

HELENA: {takes the scroll from his hand} I don’t trust you one bit

KRATOS: What?

ANDROMEDA: I have found the first stone

THALOR: This wizard is not what we think he is

KRATOS: Lets move {all leaves the temple and comes to the mortal realm, and they are surrounded by the demon clan. {They bring out their weapons}

THELON: {snatch the scroll} I think I will have this

THALOR: I told you that he is not who he said he is

THELON: You trust too much Kratos

KRATOS: {smiles} I must agree you have been of great help to me, a wizard in a trap; surprising and knowing that I saw Hek, wizards cast spells not see what is in people's heads. I knew your motives all along, but you were too helpful; I decided to play along, and I think we depart today

THALOR: {cuts in} I always felt uneasy towards you, but Kratos told me to continue to oppose you while he supports your every word so that you will see that he is with you

KRATOS: {continues} I knew that night you were listening to my conversation with Helena, so we decided to make it loud to your hearing.

HELENA: {smiles} You didn’t use us; we used you

KRATOS: You are the foretold prophecy of betrayal {signals Helena} Now! {Helena shoots the arrow on the ground and all of them vanish}

AIMON: What just happened?

THELON: Don’t worry, we have the scroll we can know where they are heading to {opens the scroll and see that the map is gone} What! Where did the map go? {he screams}

Scene shifts

KRATOS: Are we all safe?

ANDROMEDA: I think so

KRATOS: {turns to Helena} Do you have the map?

HELENA: {nods} Sure

KRATOS: {turns to Thalor} Thalor

THALOR: {answers} I have the stone

KRATOS: Guess we won’t be seeing those guys in a while

HELENA: {agrees} Yeah, three more stones to go
