    Threadmarks: Chapter 22 - Cycle

    The universe's existence hinges on the balance between two supreme, primordial concepts: order and chaos. With the passage of time chaos, or entropy, grows - which is the natural state of the universe. However, those who inhabit this universe fight to maintain order - to wrest control over the...

    I anticipate there to be some pushback/concerns with regards to my portrayal of Lord Vishnu. I am open to explaining my rationale if necessary.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 21 - Trinity

    Kratos left the ash-covered plateau, Shiva's cryptic words and unsettling smile lingering in his mind. Generally, Kratos wasn't one to engage in meaningless conversation. If he expended energy talking, he ensured there was something to be gained. However, Kratos couldn't quite make sense of his...

    I just read that story now. Can't believe the realms went into war because Parvathi refused to let Shiva enter, and Shiva couldn't accept being seen as subservient to her 🤣.

    That is interesting. Which iteration of Ganesh's origin are you most familiar with? You may find that there are some simplifications in my Fanfic with regards to the mythological stories. For instance there were a lot more characters in play here that resulted in Ganesh getting an elephant's...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 20 - Regrets

    "You go alone from here," Kratos stated, his voice leaving no room for discussion. "The goal is to train, to become familiar with your own abilities. Remember that. Trust your senses; gauge an opponent before you engage." "I thought we would be doing this together," Murugan asked, frowning...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 19 - Seeking Assistance

    Through careful thought and experience, Ganesh had honed his days into a precise rhythm. He had finally mastered the balance between indulging his passions and fulfilling his duties. Not that he disliked shepherding the ganas, performing his daily prayers, listening to the pleas of his devotees...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 18 - Offensive Defense

    "They say a good offence is the best form of defence," Kratos started while trying to suppress the squirming uneasiness in his heart. He stood before Murugan, who in turn was looking up to him with rapt attention. It was an odd feeling for Kratos to be on the receiving end of such a gaze. Sure...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 17 - New Perspective

    After the events of that day, Kratos renounced his servitude to Ares. Ridden with guilt, he sought the assistance of other gods to cleanse him of his sins. The others obliged, but stated a cost. And so, he turned from being a servant of one god to that of many. Murugan became engulfed in a...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 16 - Lessons from the Battlefield

    Words gushed out of Kratos like an unending tide with each syllable carrying the weight of centuries. He wasn't used to such eloquence, nor was he accustomed to sharing so much of himself. His voice, usually sharp and commanding, now flowed with an unfamiliar cadence as if the stories themselves...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 15 - Glimpse

    Patience wasn't one of Murugan's strong suits. It was a character flaw that he vaguely recognised. But his stubbornness and ego were a flaw that superseded his lack of patience. Unfortunately, he was blissfully unaware of that. On any regular day, you couldn't catch Murugan lounging in the...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 14 - Rules of Engagement

    Kratos felt utterly helpless. The crushing weight of his incapacity pressed down on him like a mountain he could not lift. This journey was supposed to yield answers - solutions! Yet all it had brought was waste. He was no better now than he had been months ago, back at the cottage where Rama...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 13 - The Journey's End

    The man departed in silence, leaving Kratos kneeling on the earth. But Kratos did not register his absence. His mind was still stuck at the surreal sight of his family standing before him, once again. The spectre of his wife and daughter was unlike any other he'd seen before. It wasn't a cruel...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 12 - Kailasha

    "I apologise with the deepest sincerity for my brother's behaviour," the elephant-headed teen - who introduced himself as Ganesh - said solemnly while on his knees. He turned then yanked the other boy's arm and brought him to his knees as well. "Apologise to the warrior!" Ganesh admonished his...

    I'm having a real fun time writing their interaction in the later chapters :)

    Threadmarks: Chapter 11 - On Top of The World

    The frantic sounds of metal colliding against mud and stone in infrequent intervals cut through the naturally serene atmosphere prevailing in the forest. This wasn't Kratos' first time digging a pit. Believe it or not, this was one of the many skills a soldier had to learn during their...

  18. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    I actually considered it but ended up removing that. I felt it would be pretty narcissistic for Kali to leave her idolized form for others to worship 🤣. Like with the Kratos idol, I think it should fall on the worshippers to create idols not the gods themselves. There is still the weirdly...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 10 - (Interlude) Born of Blood

    This is a "What if...?" chapter. What if, Kratos hadn't shown up to defeat Rakhtabhija? This chapter is not totally standalone, as there will be details in here that will be present in the main storyline in some way. In this chapter, I will be re-envisioning the original story of Rakhtabhija...

  20. God of War - Karmic Cycle [AU]

    We don't see much of his internal musings, so I've had to extrapolate from what is available. We know that he killed himself at the end of GoW3. No normal person would take such a step, to do so implies that he is going through a stage of depression. In GoW4 when he retrieves the Blades of...
