QUEST: The Plight of Prometheus[Permanently Open]

[Heroic Bilby]

Near the peak of a far-away mountain there lay hidden a secret of the gods. Here on the world that hosted the famed Olympus Coliseum was a prisoner, eternally chained to the landmass. His bonds were the thickest of chains, each link capable of wrapping around a grown man's head. The chains wrapped around the mountain itself, eight on each side spreading out and then coming back together at the both the prisoner and opposite of him at the lock that held them.

The prisoner had the appearance of a man... a scrawny, flesh and bones man starved to the brink of death. His clothes were reduced to a tattered brown loincloth and his mangy brown hair grew in excess from his head and chin, crowning his upper torso in dirty, curly locks. This unfortunate being hung a meter off of the precipice beneath him, suspended by the chains that attached to several rusty yet impossibly solid shackles on his arms and legs. His head was hung down in exhaustion, as it had been for countless years now.

Today, however, the prisoner looked up for the first time after a long wait. In his eyes was fire, burning brightly. He had waited and waited for the spark he'd hidden away to grow. Eons had passed and finally he was ready to attempt his one final hope. From their eyes the flames shot out, leaving dull, almost lifeless brown irises in their wake. The streams converged and traveled high above a mountaintop before they stopped. A fiery flare was created, red and bright enough to be seen for miles and miles. The starved one lowered his head again and let his heavy eyelids once more close shut. Now he could only wait and hope that, here in this out of the way corner of the world, someone would see the flare and climb the mountain to investigate. If they should choose to do so there was only one path they could follow up the rocky incline and it would inevitably lead here to the prisoner's resting place.

In his shackles the man prayed that whoever came would be of helpful hearts, both wise and strong. If not then his fate would be truly sealed forever.

Current Location: Prometheus' Prison

Description: A natural platform jutting out from the mountainside. The Titan Prometheus lies on the mountain wall, reduced to the size of a mortal man and suspended by two rusty shackles on each limb attacked to two huge iron chains each. These chains wrap tightly around the pinnacle. Two road-wide paths go in either direction from the platform heading the long ways around the mountain's body. Visible many stories above Prometheus is the mountain's peak, covered in snow that reaches all the way down to just a few stories above. Some of it has fallen to the platform and collected in small piles across it. Only one possible path up the mountain leads to this platform, coming up from the Titan's right. To his left near one of the wrapping pathways is a lower area full of rocks and cracks possible to climb across for the dexterous. The distance all the way around the mountain at this level is considerable.

And it seemed the flare had caught the attention of the biggest of hearts.

A rather small being, short and light weight, was heading in the direction of the light. It had been an innocent visit to a world she'd never been to. She was an explorer of sorts. Since she'd been "ejected" from her horrid homeworld by a devastating, but fortunate catastrophic event caused by Sin, her and her "Bondee" had been traveling. It was a rather odd partnership they had. He hated the daylight and kinda ate people when she wasn't around, and she was looking for a place where no darkness existed, yet still live at his side. Impossible? Maybe. Did she seem to notice or think on this paradox? Not a chance.

Her innocent and naive ways somehow always seemed to sucker the gloomy, though proud soul behind her into doing many things he most certainly would not do on his own. Like this very thing. Coming to a world to look around, only to see a bright light up on a mountain and head off to investigate because she was insanely curious.

She had no qualms with helping people. Honestly, helping others was the bain of her existence. It was a staple to the girl's sanity.

"What is it?" she asked herself, tilting her blue haired head, deep pinky eyes wide and blinking. Really, she seemed like a perplexed puppy at times. She was about to start on the only pathway up now, and she still couldn't tell what the fiery light was or why it was there. Obviously she was going to find out, with or without Luther.

Without another thought she started skipping onto the path up the mountain.

"Hey Enaad" A silent voice thought. A special ability of moogles was to talk continuously through thought, thus never being heard. Telepathy, as humans would call it. But, here's the weird thing about that... It only worked on Enaad! No one else could hear (or sometimes be annoyed) by Mocko's words. Not unless they were another moogle, but that was a whole new subject of moogle-magic.

A low grunt from a man aged past his years answered the thought. A stern face, with cold-set eyes stared up the path he was walking. He did not turn to the moogle floating next to his shoulder. Mocko knew him well enough to know when he was being answered or not.

"I was thinking... We've both heard of that world-antiform, Sin... And, maybe we should go after it? It would be a huge blow to them." the summon reasoned, his tiny little arms waving around as he thought. Mocko was a very expressive moogle, in large contrast to his friend and summoner.

One might think the two could never get along, with their difference in personality. Though, in reality, they complemented each other in some strange, illogical way.

"...Maybe." the summoner answered, using as few words as possible. As you might as noticed by now, one of these two didn't like talking. Got the answer, yet?

A rocky path, this uphill climb was. The two hadn't seen the god's pillar of flame, they were too focused on themselves. Enaad carefully placed his footing. Whilst one with his resources could fly up there, it was always good to exercise the muscles and the mind in unison. It produced skill and coordination. Focus. Ability. Just more advantage against them, the bastards of darkness.

As the god came into focus, Enaad's eyes looked at him with the intensity of a hunting falcon. Examining him. Looking for any sign of hostility. Already, the familiar grip of the gun saw was in his callused hand. His finger wrapped around the trigger. And Enaad walked to the top, staring at the bound man.

No words, nothing. Simple examination. Who knows, Enaad might actually help him this poor soul.

Without a word, Easley made his way up the path leading to Prometheus' prison. He passed a girl and meticulously jotted down a few points; elvish descent, facial appearance and such, even the time it would take for her to reach the platform on her comparably shorter legs. All of this passing thoughts. She presented no threat as of yet. His feet almost as quietly as himself, Easley contemplated the reason for his current actions...whilst he counted the number of steps it took him in the back of his mind.

He had heard of the legend of Prometheus, chained by Zeus to eternal confinement. Easley had come to offer him help. Now, don't get the wrong idea; Easley did not sympathize with Prometheus. Such a thing was impossible for this man. No, his services came at a price. It had been a while since his last big job and Easley was running out of resources; he hoped a Titan would have enough power to procure him a suitable prize. Having a 'god' owe you a favor would not be so shabby either.

So, it was with this mindset that Easley stood at the natural platform from which Prometheus was bound. Expressing nothing and taking no effort to make his presence known, the spider planted his feet quietly, a few metres behind Enaad, and he too scrutinized the god. Not only that, but the two beings in front of him as well. A matured man and a moogle, a strange combination. Having a bad habit of sneaking up on people, quite suddenly and with a voice that was without hesitation or enthusiasm, Easley said, "What is your freedom worth to you?"

[High's .Valentine.]

Another bright and shiny world…

What is with people and ‘bright and shiny’? The brooding man, in his mid thirties, followed listlessly after the blue haired girl. Head held high, eyes half lidded with utter arrogance, The Black Mantis trailed after, making each step worth his time despite feeling as if he was wasting his time here. After their mishap meeting, Faye’s sunshine attitude had not rubbed off on the dark male in any way, shape, or form. He towered above her, even when he was a few steps behind on the climb, his silky dark hair lazily shifting with every step he took. The weather here was bearable for the vampire and as they continue to ascend the mountain, the brisk wind made his thick clothing all the more comfortable.

The male watched his “charge” as she bustled up the rocks with nimbleness that he was not exhibiting. His somber ember eyes, eyes similar to another blood thirsty monster currently ravaging the world unbeknownst to the vampire of course, watched the elf with unnerving observation. Not that he cared if she slipped or such. His only caution is that her klutz like behavior would start a landslide or something just as catastrophic. Then again, she might be too light to do so. You never know though.

He had been conned into coming to this world. For even though she had not been able to transfer some of her ditzy naivety to him through their short time together, she seemed to have managed to worm her way into his will, eating at it. If she should ask, he would compel. Not without some resistance and gloomy face of course. So here he was. With her. Climbing. Patience, he muttered under his breath repeatedly like a mantra. Patience.

In reality, he was in an acceptable mood. The weather—and his rather full stomach—had promised all surrounding beings that the Black Mantis will not be sour. For the time being.

”What is it?” Looking up, he found her cocking her head as a giant glare flared up at the tip of the mountain. “Ignore it,” his voice was deep, and the long eyelashes averted themselves from the mountain top, instead, looking at another path leading somewhere else. Yet Faye did not listen.

With the wind whipping at his scarf and long hair, he followed after the little elf girl, needlessly cursing himself for allowing her to take control. There was only one being here who can control, and it was him, him! Yes, the Black Mantis has a superiority complex. When did she decide she can just run off like that? Wasn’t she the one clinging to him in the first place? For some weird reason, Luther had had the feeling of being abandoned when he had watched her scurry up the mountain, deaf to his heeds. He had of course shaken that off. Yet, he still followed after her much to his revulsion.

A young man passed them, black hair, a stench of unnatural power stinging Luther’s nose. Stopping in his track, Luther watched as the boy climbed past them, ignoring the dark figure behind the girl while checking out the young female. While irked by the thought of being ignored, Luther’s pace quickened just in case he had planned to assault the child. But no moves were made as the boy drew ahead. The millennium year old vampire approached the girl, and with her, reached a platform, where before him was the boy, another man with a moogle, and a colossal in chains…

The flare also caught the attention of one of the most courageous of hearts, Neo Warren Xiayou, a Zan Defender... "Was that? A flare?" He looked it and saw that it came from a mountain it could possibly be a few hikers lost, or it could be a swarm of heartless attacking a few hikers. Small or big Neo was going to help with the problem. He started walking then he looked over and saw the blue haired woman. He walked up next to her, for some odd reason he could sense that they were going the same way, or was he attracted to the Night Elf? Whatever the cause he was close enough to hear the words "What is it?" escape from her lips. "It looks like a flare... Someone is in need of help..." Neo responded to the woman as she skipped along only a bit ahead of the Zan. She was noticeably shorter than Neo, around a foot and a half, but Zan's were usually taller than most humans and Elves usually much shorter. She had an inner light that Neo could sense. "So judging by your current direction I assume you are going to the source of the flare..." Neo said now almost side by side to her. "Would you like some company?" He asked giving a warm smile. "Oh I almost forgot... I’m Neo Xiayou..." Neo said as he jokingly gave a bow to the Night Elf. His bright, orange eyes stared at her deep, fuchsia colored eyes. His attention was then caught by the large man behind her he looked as if he was around his own age and height. Neo's muscles were bigger and Neo's stance being wild and powerful, like fire, contrasted the mans brooding but elegant stance. He noticed the dull look in his eye and could tell he had little care for whoever sent off that flare or anyone else for that matter...

[gouki]

Above the others in the snow peak mountain top, a brave young man stood at the edge of a cliff looking down the mountain at the chained Titan. What kind of person deserved this type of punishment? Tidus thought to himself while spinning his Blitz Ball with his right index finger. Grabbing his ball he looked down to see some new faces had shown up to the Titans prison. Tidus had a disappointed look on his face. Did these guys just come up here to mock this poor soul?

“Oh great, now they made this place a tourist attraction or something.” He overheard one of them, who looked like a waiter asking for some kind of reward. The Titan was bound in chains and had nothing but a loincloth, what did he have that would have any value to this guy? All this guy was doing was trying to take advantage of Prometheus dilemma and in a way blackmail him. If he was smart he wouldn’t have been so rude to someone who is way more powerful than him and bargained his freedom. The Titan could easily turn the other cheek and waste the rude waiter.

Tidus felt that Prometheus didn’t deserve that sort of treatment, especially after all he has been through what kind of jerk does that to someone? Since these guys didn’t seem concerned with helping Prometheus it was up to Tidus to free the troubled Titan.

“Well I guess its hero time again.” saying it with a sarcastic tone in his voice. Looking down again he took aim at the large chains that bonded the Titan. Tidus threw his Blitz Ball into the air blocking out the sun like an eclipse. He then jumped into the air and back flipped kicking the Blitz ball in mid air performing his Jecht Shot.

The Blitz ball went hurdling at great speed like a meteor heading straight for the chains. As Tidus was falling into the snow he could see that his aim was just right, hopefully his attack was strong enough to break the chains.

The titan's aged head hung low as more and more people began to appear on his mountain. It was a great boon that the signal flare had worked after such patient waiting; Zeus had kept the location of this mountain a secret from everyone and none had ever tread foot here before. At least, none who had made it this far. One of them in strange dress questioned Prometheus' value on freedom. Apparently this one was a true son of men, greedy to the bone. The titan expected no less of course. What he hadn't expected was the large outcome so quickly. Luckily the flare was still visible burning in the sky above, so even more potential saviors could arrive if these fell in the attempt or left without interest.

"I know the secrets of this world that are older than the gods themselves." Prometheus spoke in a harsh, tired voice after raising his gaze to meet Easley's. The immortal one's eyes were glazed over, yet held a hint of true power beneath them. "For anyone who would free me, any of them could be theirs to claim to match their desire."

Suddenly there was a loud noise to the side as Tidus' heroic attempt crashed against the Titan's chains. Alas, when the aftermath of the mighty blow cleared, the old rusty-looking links seemed completely unaffected. Not too unexpected one might imagine: They were the chains a god used to bind a titan, after all.

"Anyone who would try to release me, hear my voice," Prometheus began anew, his vocal chords carrying their offspring farther and louder than before for the newcomers of elf, vampire and others to hear as well. "My name is Prometheus, the leader of the titans. After we were defeated by Zeus only I managed to escape imprisonment below the sea by betraying my fellow titans. The king of the gods new I would rival him in strength and wisdom and did not spare me as promised, but stole away all of my strength to ensure servitude. It was I who gave mankind the gift fire from Olympus when your race was in its infancy, but for that crime I was sentenced to an eternity bound to this mountain. My former might is gone, I wish only to spend the rest of my time as a free man. If anyone has the courage to defy the gods here today as thanks for my sacrifice then please... help me. If not then please deliver my plea to a hero of men who might be my salvation."

With that Prometheus leaned his head back against the rock wall instead of hanging it down again. He would hear the response of the gathered ones and pray, ironically, for their good fortune.

QUEST OPEN

The chance to free the weakened titan has begun. Using this area as a starting point you can start exploring, examine new areas for clues or secrets, and always return to question Prometheus himself if you desire any additional information or advice before or after setting out around the mountain. To move on to new areas, choose an available exit from the one you're in now and enter [Exit to -Insert Name-] at the end of your post.

Some areas may have special rules or features. You can always go back to read the description written in white given when an area is initially explored to refresh yourself on the details. Key set pieces or items will always be listed in green, as will any items a character picks up along the way and takes with them. Even if something doesn't seem important it may be worth taking a closer look at anyway but there will always be a risk involved. Use your strength and wisdom and work together however you desire to conquer the titan's prison and release Prometheus, or abandon the quest by leaving through the Mountain Descent back the way you came. There is no turn order and the QM may post for everyone in a specific area at a time rather than waiting for every spread out individual. Keep these guidelines in mind when replying to the Quest thread and try not to get left behind by attendant hard-workers or you might get your treasure swiped out form under you. The more attendance you have the greater your chance to impress.

No character participation limit. New entrees may begin the quest at any time by coming in through the Mountain Ascent into Prometheus' Prison even if the Quest is almost over. Of course, the more a head start you have the more chances you will get to claim greater reward for your efforts. Good luck!

Tidus had been ignored; let the boy play hero all he wanted, let him think what he wants. His attack happened as Easley expected; if the chains could be broken that easily, the god wouldn't have been so direly trapped. Naive, Easley didn't care for boisterous idiots who failed to deliver like that at all. Yet Easley's expression didn't change in the slightest; however, there was a slight shine in his eyes not previously there when the titan made mention of the grand rewards. The world's secrets so old only the gods knew; it was something Easley needed.

The god was right, Easley was a fine example of man's inherent greed; but was greed truly such a terrible sin? All humans seek their own happiness foremost, it is only natural. It was those heroes and martyrs that Easley could not understand...and he had once been one of them. Never again. Listening intently to the prisoner's plea, Easley felt no sympathy in the slightest for Prometheus' plight. Each man had their own burden to bear. However, the temptation of rewards was something that appealed to Easley and for that reason, he accepted, "How?" That was the only thing Easley said in reply. Of course the full question was 'How could you be freed?'.

[donald2]

Well, isn't this pleasant. A titan? I've heard about those... Helping this man would mean going against the god's of Olympus themselves...

Already, Prometheus's situation was looking grim. Enaad, whilst he may not show it, was a man of the light. Surely the god's would not like it if he were to undo their work against their very own evil... Why, wouldn't that be the same as rounding up all the antiforms, and having another person coming along and letting them out again? And for that matter, the god's would simply reseal him, and then most likely kill or also seal the one who freed the titan.

"I say we help him, Enaad. All he did was help us, right? Without fire... Well, we'd be back in the stone age." the moogles silent voice whispered. Almost a conscious was Mocko, if not for the fact he had just as much as a deep hatred for the antiforms as Enaad, if not more. "If anything... Shouldn't the gods be the one that we should be fighting? They sealed him up for nothin'. Not to mention they never help anyone other than themselves, despite being gods!"

"Yes." the man with black hair said. His gunsaw was tilted upon his shoulder, eyeing first Mocko, then the titan.

"What bonds did they seal you by, Prometheus? What magic are these chains enchanted with?" Knowing exactly what was stopping the titan could help in freeing him, no doubt. Most likely it was god magic, but in that case... Wouldn't someone need something to counter the gods in order to free him? And where would someone get something like that? Hades too, was even a god, despite his alignment...

The question was posed, and the quest had begun.

[gouki]

“Dang.” Tidus had expected that the attack wouldn’t work, but still it never hurts to at least try. “It would have been funny if it actually did work though. Oh well.” He laughed at the thought of saving a Titan with only a Blitz Ball. Landing back on the soft cold snow, Tidus planned out his next move. Since breaking the chains was out of the question Tidus would have to find some kind of mechanism that unlocked Prometheus chains. But where to start looking?

Just as he was about to walk around the snowy peak Tidus heard a loud cracking sound below him. Looking down he saw that the edge of the cliff was breaking off now. But before he could even do anything, it broke off of the mountain and went sliding down the mountain slope along with him. Instead of just freaking out like most people would do Tidus shouted out “Whoo Hoo!!”, as he slid down the mountain towards the platform below. Small flakes of snow wiped across his tan face as he went down the snowy covered peak. He began to enjoy himself for a while there until he noticed that the chunk of the cliff was breaking apart. He had no way of keeping it together and he was so close to the platform.

Now only a few meters there, Tidus was literally on his last foot of ground when it finally broke apart. Tidus managed to leap off it and run the rest of the way down there. Now he was at the platform where Prometheus was at towering over Tidus like a skyscraper. He had missed the Titans speech since he was too busy sliding down the mountain but he didn’t need to hear his story to convince Tidus to help him. After all what good would this information be to someone like Tidus who wasn’t from this world at all. Now if Prometheus had some information on Sora or Riku such as their location then that would prove more useful than what he had offered.

He looked back up to the snowy peak with a frown on his face. It sucks, he left a cooking bowl of Ramen noodles up there and they were now probably done already. And when he would reach the top the noodles would already be ruined. Too bad Prometheus was chained to the mountain or Tidus would have asked him to lift him up to the snowy area.

Now that he was at the platform he overheard two other people who were there asking how they would be able to free Prometheus. The questions themselves seemed like they should have already knew the answers. If Prometheus knew he probably would have told them already, and since the chains were made by the Olympians themselves it was obvious that it was some kind of divine power so the only real way to counter this would be divine power as well. But these were all just assumptions from Tidus so it could go some other way.

Instead of just sticking around to listen to what he already thought the answer would be, Tidus headed for the left pathway. No real reason other than just a random choice on his part.

Tidus turned around walking backwards with his hands close to his mouth to yell at the Titan “Don’t you fret pal, I’ll get you out of this god forsaken prison I can promise you that.”

The withered and worn titan smiled as he turned his neck slightly towards Tidus after the youth's rather positive announcements. Indeed if his ability matched his enthusiasm in any way then Prometheus' future looked bright, but of course he knew that mortals were not always able to gauge themselves properly against the rigors of reality. If the boy wanted to make good on his word then he would certainly be tested to do so.

"Thank you, child of Zeus, but do not underestimate the gods' measures to keep me here," he said before turning to face the one who had asked the all-so-important question. His smile disintegrated into grim business as the immortal locked eyes with Easley after giving Enaad a nod of acknowledgment as well.

"The chains that bind me were forged as an extension of that which connects them all together. There is no key and lock to be found here. I know not what these bonds of mine are all tied to... only that it was meant to keep the mortals who owed me for the gift of fire from interfering with my sentence, should I ever be found. Break that seal and my chains will break away along with it. I wish I could offer you more..."

With that Prometheus tilted his neck back again and rested it on the rocks with his eyes again shut to the sunlight and the bright burning of his signal flare.

"If you find anything that puzzles you I may be able to help. Time has not erased my knowledge of this world and its ways. However," he added with great emphasis for all to hear clearly. "I say to anyone who goes farther than this: Beware. I see none of you show any marks of battle which can only mean my guardian did not try to stop you from ascending the mountain. What keeps the beast away I can not say but of all the dangerous creatures to be seen here it is the mightiest. Watch the skies and stay vigilant; you are all my last hope."

Easley returned the god's gaze, yet at the back of his mind he couldn't help but think Prometheus knew what laid behind the black contacts. The eyes of a Magic Canceler, a curse upon the miracles of gods. How ironic it was that he would be helping one now. A swift gesture to his pocket had the man pull out a box of brand name cigarettes and a lighter; taking one he stuck it in his mouth and deftly lit it. Returning said items to his pocket, Easley let out a breath of smoke before he moved forward; stepping closer to the god Prometheus.

Standing but a metre away from Prometheus, Easley asked quite straight-forwardly, "Is there nothing else? Any detail will do, instead of having us fish blindly with questions; why not divulge all that you know that might be of even slightest relevance to your imprisonment's end?" There seemed to be much that they had yet to be filled in of, Easley believed it would be far more efficient to learn it now rather than having to back track and learn later. He had confidence in his memory so any information, however seemingly insignificant, would not be loss to carelessness.

"You are wise to put such emphasis on knowledge, young one," Prometheus answered without opening his eyes this time, but his tone was now carrying an extra hint of weariness about it; an indicator of the unfortunate answer he would have to give. "Unfortunately I know not the build of my prison beyond this side of the mountain, for it was directly here that Zeus brought me and here I was chained. The monstrous bird that guards me is the only thing I have seen come here. I know other beasts must roam nearby only because of the sounds carried by the wind and the nature of these chains because they rust yet do not break; a sign of only one divine forging art the gods had at the time they locked me away on this forsaken mountain."

Indeed, the titan truly did sound sorry that he could not offer any more knowledge about the specific machinations of how he was bound here for a would-be eternity. It would not be hard to guess though, given that this once nearly almighty and immortal being was now reduced to depending on the efforts of mere mortal men. They would need to prove themselves by achieving what their own gods forbade, a feat Prometheus worried to be impossible for them. His true hope was that the age of his prison would be the source of their success. If mankind had developed far beyond what it had once been thanks to the fire he gave them then the defences put in place here might no longer be suited to blocking their interference. That now depended upon the foresight of the gods.

Despite the hunch however Easley was wrong if he thought Prometheus sensed his rather unique ability to undo the miracles of magic; any unnatural powers the titan had once wielded in addition to his own might had long ago been stripped. Only his immortality remained, something not even the Magic Canceler could take away. If the assassin/waiter could find a way to use that power to help the titan in unexpected ways then it would be up to him to figure them out.

As Easely approached Prometheus, he got closer to the man with black hair and his moogle friend. In fact, he got within meters of him. Three, to be exact. Now what did this mean? Well, this, this meant quite a lot. And Enaad wouldn't of known a thing about it if not for his moogle friend. Not a bit at all.

As Easely had approached the titan, he approached Mocko. Mocko, being a moogle, obviously levitated by magic. So, what happened when a magic canceler came into play near Mocko? Well, he fell. In fact, Mocko fell down right on to his summoner's shoulder, rolling down off of it so that he hit the group with a potent thump.

"Enaad, I can't levitate. My magic's gone, Kupo!" the moogle said to his friend with astonishment. Never, ever, had this happened before... Not even when they were around magic users back in Traverse Town. And if Mocko had fallen because of his magic gone... Wouldn't that mean that the magic that bound the chains were canceled to? Magic was a whole thing. There couldn't be a difference between this worlds magic and moogle magic, right? Right?

"Hey, you. Don't move. I can break the chains." the man with black hair said, directing his statement to Easely. Whilst any compassionate person might've thought to pick up his friend and ask if he was alright, Enaad was a compassionate person. In fact, he was very uncaring towards the feelings of others. But, for what it was worth, Mocko was fine, despite that little fall he took.

The man stepped back a few steps, and got a good swinging grip on his weapon. Wrapping his finger around the trigger and securing it for the right moment, Enaad prepared himself. He took a low stance, one leg stretched out behind him, another one bent very tightly near his chest. His arms were positioned on the ground, the loose sleeves falling over his hands just a little bit. If any of you know anything about running, this was a sprinters stance.

He took off.

Flying across the ground, Enaad made a jump, his momentum sending him forward. He brought the serrated metal blade down, aiming precisely for Prometheus's upper arm chain. And right before he thought he was about to make contact, he pulled the trigger, the serrated gun-blade becoming a gunsaw.
