>You awaken. >Are you in hell? >It's cold. >But why would it be hot? >Hell is described as torment, the gnashing of teeth... >Hell is not hot. >You stand yourself up and look across the landscape. >You see nothing. >You hear groans in the distance. >You feel a heaviness. >But your Lord has not abandon you. >You follow the groans.   >The landscape begins to clarify as the groans grow louder. >Giants walk among you. >Waving their staves, they talk amongst themselves. >These tormented creatures, they seem to ignore you. >Surely they must have sinned if they have been condemned here. >But you have been condemned. >Does that mean you've sinned? >Only against Celestia, of course. >Are they Celestia's enemies? >Would that make them your allies? >...one is looking at you... >...now he's pointing to you. >"Titans, we have a guest!" >The rest quickly turn to face you.   >You look up at these beasts, and attempt to communicate, but your words escape you. >"Don't scare the poor creature, he looks shaken up as it is." >The one kneels down to your level. >"Tell me boy, what have you done to deserve this torment?" >You hesitantly answer them. "All I have done, was preach the will of God." >You tilt your head down. "Celestia did not appreciate that..." They all begin laughing. >"Celestia still lives!" one blurts. >"You must have rustled her jimmies pretty hard for her to end you here." shouted another. >The original begins to speak up again. >"I hope you enjoy Tartarus, young one. An eternity here is a difficult existence" "An eternity here is unacceptable." >They all stop laughing to stare at you. "I must return to Equestria, my work there is not finished."   >These "Titans," they tell you a story of a war. >These beasts versus the gods. >Well, two goddesses. >They were condemned to live out their days in this shattered world. >The lowest point in the universe. >"There is one way to leave this place, but the gate is guarded by the mighty Cerberus!" >The titans are sure to note the impossibility of defeating such a beast. >But you would have to try... >You grasp your cross necklace. It's the only possession, aside from your bible, that made it into this world with you. "Where are these gates?" >The first Titan, still kneeling, sighs and looks to the west. >"They are behind the mountains of the Fire Spirits." "Spirits, aye?" >"Most creatures in this world will not hesitate to kill you. Us Titans are the exceptions."   >One walk over with some sort of weapon, wait, two weapons. >It seems like a longsword and a shield. >"You will also need this." >One removes his helmet and armor, he hands it to you. >You equip your new chainmail, shield and sword. You're almost happy with it, but it's missing something. >You quickly spit in the mud, and take some clay. You rub the clay along your cloth and shield, in the symbol of a cross. >Now you may fight under the name of God.   >It seems there is no day or night in this world. >Yet you're growing tired. >Those mountains look hours away, could you make it all this way? >And something doesn't sit well with you. "I must ask you a question, Titan." >The original Titan looks to you. "Why are you giving me these weapons?" >The Titan sighs. >"We have been roaming the plains of this hell for thousands of years, condemned by Celestia herself." >He pounds his fist against a rocky structure. >"If you are in rebellion against that goddess, you have our full support..." >"...Even if your life ends at Cerberus." another Titan scuffed. >You rest on your new sword; it's difficult to lift, and this armor is heavy. >You are not a fighter, you are a man of God. >But you must fight in his name. >For Equestria. "Then I thank you for your gifts." >You turn towards the hellish mountains. >You begin walking. >"...Wait!" >The first Titan walks over to you. >"We never got your name." >As you continue walking, you blurt the only alias you've ever known. "Call me Anonymous."
