The Winged Twin

As the army marched towards the main gates the battle ensued, and instantly went to shit. The troops got mowed down by the archers on the walls, and as soon as the attack squad reached the point opposite the front gates. We noticed a squad of soldiers at the back of the walls, I managed to kill them all before they warned the rest of them. I looked at my squad, and courage erupted in my soul.

"Now is the time for us to release our inner demons, for if you do not come with the intent to kill, you will die."

I gave them a serious look at the end of my speech, they looked at me with malice and death in their eyes.

That made me smile, my comrades ready to go to war with me. I slammed my hands on the sodden earth, "I summoned the armies of the underworld, came to me, obeyed my commands and RISE '' I screamed.

The soldiers began to rise, "Now is the time my comrades, unleash your demons!" I screamed. "Help me father"

I sprang into the air and my body was infolded in darkness, my arms and legs began to grow. It's like I was in a giant mold of my body, I was now at eye level with both giants. I looked them both dead in each of their eyes.

"Your opponent is me now." I said, with that I screamed "ATTACK!!"

I went toe to toe with both giants for about fifteen minutes, I was constantly dodging their attacks. They kept attacking me with the numbers advantage, smart strategy but i was beginning to read their attack patterns and their individual abilities. They had unmatched brute strength, and they moved remarkably fast for monsters so big. I could barely keep my eyes on them as they kept advancing towards me. I had to mount some sort of offensive, so I began to attack. I swung my massive leg at Polybotes, knocking him on his back. Then I pounced on him like a hungry lion, I began ripping at his flesh like it was paper. His screams of agony filled my ears, but before I could deal a killing blow I was knocked away. I looked around to see my dear friend theseus slumped over, as if from exhaustion. Then I realized he had saved my life, I saw Porphyrion with a spear stuck in the ground nearby.

"Thank you Brother" I thought.

I knew I had to get him out of here, so I called Argos.

"Free Him" I told him.

He arrived in an instant, and began working on freeing my dear friend. I raced to my feet, charging Porphyrion, I collapsed on him like a lion. I set my hands in a blaze, burning a massive hole in the giant's chest. His screams were cut short as I was knocked flat on my back by a massive gust of wind. I looked towards the gust and saw Thesus in the sky, a massive pair of pitch black wings engulfing his already battered body.

"My winged twin" I thought to myself.

"We need to retreat, NOW." Argos said, I knew he was right. I knew the signal to retreat, I had to give it before we lost anyone else.

I cleared my throat, "OOOOOOOUUUUU MMMMMMM" I screamed, as I began to shrink back into my original size, everyone began to run away.

I hopped on Argos, and by the time we made it back to camp, there were more people dead than there were left to bury them. The mountain of corpses was sky high, and the looks of defeat and sadness in my soldiers eyes made me feel like I had failed them, which i did. It was my plan, I brought everyone into this mess, and it was my responsibility to clean it up.
