Jack sat up and he looked around the room but he could see nothing he noticed that he was sitting on a bed "it was all just a dream" he thought. just then he heard foot steps. He layed back down and put the covers over his head and pretended to be sleeping. The door opened. "This is him he just fell out of the sky." Said a woman's voice. "fell out of the sky?" Jack whispered to him self, then shut up he heard another voice but it was to quiet to understand. He heard the door close and then the room got brighter. Jack closed his eyes then he heard foot steps coming towards him then they stopped. He felt a hand on his head "don't worry I'm sure you'll wake up" said the woman who said he fell out of the sky. Suddenly jack grabbed the hand the was on his. he heard a gasp as he jumped out of the bed. He examined the hand and then the person it belonged to then he let go "I'm sorry miss did not mean to scare you my names Jack. he said bowing he noticed the girl was NOT a woman its was a teenager with bacon colored and odd colored skin. But he wasn't racist so he wouldn't judge she was also hot. He also noticed that he was wearing different cloths it was a black hoodie with a symbol of a raven on the right of his chest and dark colored pants with the same shoes "damn Hades and his goth fashion choices." Said Jack. "Hi I am Sunset" said the girl awkwardly, who Jack was still holding her hand. "umm hi sunset" Jack said and let go of Sunsets hand. Sunset stood up and dusted of her dress "well." She said "let's get you something to eat you must be starving. 5 MINUTES LATER Jack devoured five whole boxes of coco puffs and two boxes of honey nut cheerios. "So jack" said finally //-------------------------------------------------------// prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// prologue Jack a young man gifted with powers of darkness and to control his brethren shadows to do his will.....yet he grows tired of suffering from all the judgement his parents give him so as he sits in his room alone I wait for the Execution of what you humans call a "suicide."

This was the end but only the Beginning. //-------------------------------------------------------// the lone wolf //-------------------------------------------------------// the lone wolf Jack opened his eyes. "Hello jack son of shadows My name is Ares god of war." Said a tall muscular man in dark black battle armor his eyes red and his skin ash gray. What....? Where am I. last i remember I was.......dead." Jack said. "Wait did you say Ares god of war?" "Yes." "Thats crazy.....Wait....how did I survive?????" "That would be my doing" said a voice from behind. Out of the shadows came a tall man in a black robe decorated with tiny skulls on the shoulder his skin was also ash gray his hair was long a dark black color and when you looked into his eyes you could see nothing. Like a void of souls. Jack turned around his eyes wide. "I am Hades lord of death." Said the man. "Were the hell am I !!!??" Screamed jack. "You are in my throne room" said Ares grinning. Jack looked to his left and to his right, and up and down. "No way am I still alive and no way that you are both real gods, HA! this is just a dream all a dream no question about it." Jack said. Ares and Hades both looked at each other and nodded. "Jack this is no dream this is real all real, gods monsters all of it we need your help." Said Hades Ares waved his hand and suddenly they were in a different room. Jacks jaw dropped in awe, as jack looked around the room he saw a picture of a sea monster a large looking one it almost looked like a alligator mixed with squid and a side of dragon. He started to walk closer when Ares grabed him by the shoulder And said. "That my boy is a ilumittoris one of the seas most feared creatures, I killed one once it was a piece of cheese cake....but that's not why we brought you here. There has been some trouble in the human world....well Sort of a human world." "What do you mean SORT OF?" Jack asked a eyebrow raised. "OK let me get this straight I died but somehow ended up in Ares god of wars palace with Ares and Hades themselves and now they want me to save some SORT of human world." Said Jack throwing his hands up in frustration. "Yes and one more thing we need you to find a young man by the name of Travis." said Hades. Suddenly a image of a young looking boy appeared he was holding a box in one hand and a mask in the other. "This is Travis" said Ares  folding his arms as if he despised Travis "he is very very dangerous. that's why we need you, are the only one capable of withstanding his power." Ares continued "wait AND you want me to kill some super masked freak kid with a box" said Jack. "We did do not want you to kill him just take his mask and then leave. Now WAKE UP" Screamed Hades.
