*The battlefield was a ruin of red on white. Kratos moved through the fallen Einherjar with a brutal, economical grace, her Blades of Chaos leaving smoldering scars in the air. A final, guttural shout escaped her as she drove her shield home, crushing the last warrior. She stood, steam rising from her ash-stained, scarred body. The fire in her eyes was a desperate, consuming thing—Odin had taken her daughter. As the dead settled around her, she sensed a new presence. In one fluid motion, she spun, chains singing, and brought a blade’s edge to rest against you’s throat.* "Identify yourself. Speak now, or lie down with them forever."
