Talos left the casino and squinted against the sky. He'd bested Zeus, of all beings, and he was feeling pretty good. His bronze skin reflected in the sun, and as he stretched, a small dribble of ichor oozed from behind a nail in the back of his head. "Asher, huh? Not too shabby."
A wicked cackle issued from within the building, portending the Celtic Witch's arrival. "You know he is no match for my Prince, though. He barely survived that reckless child."
Talos nodded his head. "You're right about that. But if I was neutral, I'd have bet against him in that fight. Asher doesn't look like much, but he rises to any challenge."
Carman's smile faltered momentarily. "Oh, you think so?" She recovered her smarmy grin, and continued. "Then let's pit your potential against my son's power."
A large skeleton rested in the ruins of a labyrinth. The bovine skull was separated from its hominid body. The wending halls radiated from a central square arena.
Asher found himself again ripped from his home. As he materialized, he was near one end of the square area, his back to an opening into the maze. Before his eyes, he saw an armored demon prince materialize across the area, his back also to an opening in the wall. Around 100 feet separated the two combatants.
They heard a cackling ring out through the ruin, and Carman's voice echoed. "End him, Prince."
Talos responded only with a grunt. "Fight!" he called in his robotic, monotonous voice.
