The sky was as dark as ink, as rain poured down from the heavens wetting the earth below. In the pouring rain lay the battered body of a man barely clinging to life.
Two man in pristine black suits picked up the battered man and threw him into the back of a nearby truck before driving off.
The truck cruised down the road heading into an abbandoned warehouse district, where it stopped in front of a dilapidated builing that once served as an office.
The two men got out the truck and dragged the battered man from the back into the building.
As they dragged the man inside one of themen asked " Yo, Rickey what did the captain do that the boss wants him dead so bad."
The other man lauged and said " You don't know Tony, you live under a rock or something, this bastard slept with the bosses daughter and got her pregnant."
Tony turned his head in surpise his eyes filled with shock at the statement he just heard. Rickey let out another laugh before getting serious again and lifting the battered man who was laying on the floor by his dreads.
He looked him in the eyes and said "Captain its nothing personal, its just you got the bosses daughter pregnant and he wants gone, so forgive me for old times sake." After finishing those words he pulled out a gun fron his suit pocket and fired off several rounds killing the man.
.....
It went dark the last thing Dante remembered was being beaten within an inch of his life by his two surbodinates. Then being dragged off into a truck and Rickey mumbling something before he heard a loud bang and everthing went dark.
Dante looked around but the only thing he could see was a pitch black void as far as the eye could see.
then he felt it, something holding him and pulling him down. He looked down and saw an endlwss amount of transparent hands gripping his body, pulling him down at terrifying speeds.
Dante didn't know how long he was being dragged for and closed his eyes waiting for the hands to stop dragging him. After what seemed like an eternity he crashed into something solid and opend his eyes.
The only thing that he could see was an empty white void that seemed to stretch infintely in all directions. Just a few meters in front of Dante was a luxurious arm chair with a man in a white suit reading a news paper sitting on it.
Dante tried to stand but his body refused to listen to him and as he lifted his gaze he looked directly at the face of the man who sat on the chair.
Dante's body felt pain he had never felt before a pain that seemed to shatter his very essence. It was only then did Dante realize that the man on the chair could not be gazed upon, could not be looked at directly.
Then the man stopped reading his newspaper and looked at dante and when those all seeing eyes turned towards him a deafening flood of infromation surged like a river into the sea straight into Dante's feeble mind.
Then a voice that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once resounded in the white space. "Child l have enjoyed watching you struggle against fate, for a while now and wish you could've entertained me more."
Countless thoughts raced in Dante's mind but before he could even process them the voice countinued. " You will start again, but don't worrry I will give you a gift now struggle against fate again child l expect much from you."
when those words were spoken Dante's vision become hazy and his eyes shut on its own.
when he openrd his eyes again he was laying on a field of grass, staring at the blue sky above. The he heard a voice near him shout " brothers the ancestor has woken up."
Dante turned his head to see a group of minotaurs, they stood over 8ft tall with a powerful, muscular body of a man, the head and legs of a bull and covered in fur.
Then he looked down at himself and realized he was no longer a human he was a minotaur, covered in pitch black fur and had a large bandage covered around his chest.
