The Pone of War stood impassively, the Leviathan Axe in hoof, looking up at the mighty dragon. The dragon inhaled, and knowing from experience, the Pone of War started galloping to the left, narrowly dodging the blast of lightning. The stallion unleashed a might bellow as he charged the dragon.
With all of his might, the Pone of War's magic threw the axe straight towards the dragon's eye. It struck true, causing the dragon to rear backwards in pain. Not waiting for the beast to recover, the Pone of War leaped upwards, rising high above the dragon's head, then came downwards for a mighty buck. The blow forced the dragon to collapse on the mountain pass, the impact sending rumbles that could be felt for miles.
With a burst of magic, the Leviathan Axe flew back to his hoof. The Pone of War lifted the axe once again, and plunged it deep, breaking through the dragon's scales and muscles as if it were butter. The pained roar the beast emitted was primal and horrifyingly loud. The Pone of War paid no mind and dragged the axe through the dragon's body, opening a large gash, dragon blood spraying everywhere.
The mighty dragon, not to be defied, heaved upwards and shook the Pone of War loose. The stallion landed with an oomph, his axe tumbling to who knows where. The dragon let loose a guttural cry, and unleashed a storm of lightning. The Pone of War could do nothing but raise his left forehoof and block it with his retractable shield. Though useful in combat against smaller enemies, the shield does not do well under the onslaught of dragon lightning.
The Pone of War grunted and hissed every time lightning snaked past his shield and sizzled his gray coat. Then the attack stopped and the dragon huffed tiredly. Seeing a chance, the Pone of War took off towards a snapped trunk-like plant, stuck a hoof in, and pulled out some red sap, that crystallized in the cold. Sap of the world tree, highly explosive.
Dodging yet another attack, the Pone of War got the Leviathan Axe back in hoof with a quick spell, threw the crystallized sap towards the dragon. The beast tried to dodge, but an axe flew out of nowhere and hit the dragon right in the chest, distracting him. The sap flew past everything, straight into the wound of the dragon. The lightning that flows through the dragon's veins, charged with the sap, causing a large explosion.
The dragon teetered, before collapsing, yet again. Before the beast could rise, the Pone of War threw his axe towards an old griffon machine. The crane's line snapped, the large spiked object it was just holding a few moments ago, fell straight towards the dragon. The makeshift stake drove itself right through the dragon's skull, blood, and lightning spewed everywhere. The Pone of War just grunted.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here." A large, muscled, earth pony, stallion thudded on the platform that the Pone of War was standing on. "If it isn't the Ghost of Roam."
"Herculean." The Pone of War grunted, he was here to kill this demigod. Not to make small talk. He charged, his forehooves gripping two different chains, each chain attached to a sword, enchanted to burn bright. Roaring with rage, the Pone of War stood up on his hindlegs, and whirled the Chaos Blades around in circles, disintegrating lesser ponies.
Another thundering roar answered the Pone of War's challenge. Herculean gripped an oncoming blade, and pulled, bringing the Pone of War closer. The two collided with aggressive snarls. The two stallions took turns headbutting each other, before the Pone of War heaved upwards, sending Herculean past a statue. The Pone of War leapt after the demigod, destroying the statue with a flick of a forehoof.
Herculean rose, a tad unsteadily, before getting hit by two flaming swords. The Pone of War whirled around, destroying everything in his path, utterly determined to destroy the demigod. Once again, his onslaught was stopped by the stallion. Herculean stood, gashes all over his body, and the two blades in his mouth. He grunted with such ferocity, the birds that still resided in nearby trees, flew off. Herculean started pawing the ground, threw the swords behind him, forcing the Pone of War to lunge forwards, which Herculean bucked with all his strength.
Silence, then winds at amazing speeds, tore through the ground, leaving a massive crater where the Pone of War just stood. The demigod rose, pure hatred on his face, as he scanned the battlefield, looking for his opponent. He got his wish when the Pone of War charged, minus the Blades of Chaos, and tackled Herculean. Down they went, and the Pone of War rose his forehooves and slammed them down, again and again. There was nothing left of the stallion, but a bloody mess.

"COLT!" A loud voice boomed through the entire house. Vivid Imagination looked up from his toy ponies. One of which bore red tattoos, a large axe, and two swords attached to chains. "Dinner time!"
"Coming Father!" Vivid popped up and scampered to the kitchen. A young unicorn with a light blue coat and a fluffy white mane. His cutie mark depicted a lightbulb with tens of other pictures floating around it. One time, he sat down and inspected his rump, trying to discern all of the images. He swore he saw a bull, a bug, and a rook, sitting around a cracked bell. Before he could get a better look, the school bell rang. "What are we having tonight?"
"My special!" Rolled Dice chuckled heartily. With a flourish of his navy blue wings, he presented a dish that looked like quiche. "Spinach and daisy lasagne!"
"Are you sure, honey?" Scripture kissed Rolled's cheek, chuckling at his discomfort. "It looks like a quiche, not that I'm complaining."
"I swear the recipe said lasagne..."
"Thank you for dinner!" Vivid exclaimed, digging in with gusto.
Author's Note
I know the picture shows a mare, but I felt making the Pone of War a stallion makes more sense. I love God of War (2018). It is a great game, the fighting especially and the beautiful world. I highly recommend it.
To those who have played the God of War games, I hoped you enjoyed this story. The fight scenes are not exactly the same, and I hope that doesn't make you disapprove of the story.
Kudos to whoever made that picture, Blu, and to the many God of War creators.
