Earthshaker I - Ovid's Withering

Chaos at the strike of his heel

Behold the great god of the sea

Commander of tempests and master of elements

Pacing the floor of the galleon trenches awaiting Alcyoneus

And As the rainfall trembled on frosted leaves

In accordance with premonition, he was beckoned, and confronted by a bastard of

soil

A mass of filth, rock, and rotting bone

Protruded from the earth, and called out violently

«Show yourself, Poseidon!

Come forth from your hole and bear witness to true

divinity!

"

«The thralldom of this terrestrial shell is my own, great pretender.

Seek vindication, and find demise.

Alas, can you stop the charge of a mountain?

Will you taunt the ocean, and live to speak its tale of majesty?

All the children of Gaia at my command will cry 'Earthshaker, Earthshaker'!

The quake of my footsteps will stagger the ground.»

With fists rivaling the burden of Atlas

The giant took hold of Poseidon

But with a bellow composed of a million storms

He cast open a maelstrom and plunged his victim, collapsing the sea.

Words spewed from the beast

And a novq of fire explodes from the earth, engulfing the colliseum

Poseidon wailed in pain as he blistered and boiled but with one final lunge

He peirced the heart of nether now undone

He ripped his spear from the fallen titan

«Great pretender!

You sought revenge and found demise.»

Alas, could you stop the charge of a mountain?

Did you taunt the ocean, and live to speak its tale of majesty?

All your children at the mercy of my trident at last will cry 'Earthshaker,

Earthshaker'!

I summon a kraken to shatter the sky…

Arise, nightmare of the sea, for in the wake of the Gigantomachy

We will seize the throne of Olympus and subjugate the very essence of the vale!"

As the rain falls from the clouds, the council’s provoked by the harbringer of

treachery

And perched upon his monstrous steed, the canyons of ice marked his path

To sanctify the cosmic order and forge the Helodric Falls.
