STEWARD:

(terrified, halting)

Tiamat... Tiamat, Queen of the

Deep.

(WHISPERING)

Those who dare, whisper she covets

Zeus' throne and schemes to

achieve it, the ambitious Goddess

of the Dark Oceans...

CONTINUED:

KING ACRISIUS:

Yes, Tiamat! And today I have

honored her.

The King whirls and staggers up the crest of the dune.

KING ACRISIUS:

I've taken Zeus' whore and the

bastard she grows in her belly and

thrown them to Tiamat in her rough

sea!

(toward the moonlit

OCEAN)

I honor Zeus' rival with all that

was dear to me --

(falters, ashamed)

-- and commit double murder in her

honor...

About to go to pieces, rage seizes him again --

KING ACRISIUS:

so that Zeus will know I

despise and disdain him and spit

on his foul name!

The Steward shrinks from this blasphemy, eyes darting in

fear.

ON THE CREST the King is silhouetted in the moonlight,

arms raised defiantly toward the heavens, when suddenly --

-- his figure is seized by some violent force, shaking

his being. A HORRIBLE SOUND (MUSCLE TEARS, BONES CRACK)

and THE KING'S BODY GROWS LARGER AS IT DISTORTS IN

MISSHAPEN DISFIGUREMENT.

And thus, KING ACRISIUS BECOMES... KALIBOS!

The Steward SEES what we now cannot. An INHUMAN ROAR and

the shadow of this new being falls upon the Steward. He

SCREAMS, but it's too late -- the huge CREATURE grabs him

by the neck and LIFTS HIM OUT OF FRAME. From the empty,

moonlit dunes, we...

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. OPEN SEAS - DAY

Queen Danae's coffin/chest tossing in the rough water.

Through the ROAR of the waves, we HEAR a BABY CRY.

FADE TO BLACK.

SUPERIMPOSE:
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER

FADE IN:

EXT. COUNTRY ROAD - DAY
