CHAPTER NINE: PRINCES OF THE UNIVERSE It is an age of myth and legend. Mankind is young, a babe crawling upon uncertain ground as the horrific mistakes of the gods draw ever nearer to feed their hateful jealousy and slake their thirst for mortal blood. The gorgon Ssophia , a twisted mockery of the once beautiful consort of the Lord of the Sea , holds court in the Blasted Ruins of the Snake Cult , blaspheming the gods and luring the good and faithful men of adjoining lands into her stony embrace with sibilant whispers promising truth and beauty... There in the Steaming Fens of Lerna where the ash trees burn without end lurks The Hydra , a god-forged monstrosity that fell from the blue vault of the sky and terrorizes the realms of men with its snaking heads and despoiling presence... Now brays The Minotaur , being the unnatural offspring of man and beast, damned for its violent nature, rails against its imprisonment as his Labyrinth draws to it the accumulated knowledge of mankind where it is lost for all time... Terrible monsters still walk the earth, but so too do the Children of the God s , the Princes of the Universe . Go then, divine sons and daughters of the empyrean! Protect the realms of man from the creations of your capricious sires and dames to earn your rightful place among the stars. Will you be remembered as a hero of legend for all time?
