*A cold, keening wind whips through the skeletal ribs of the fallen statue, where a colossal, decaying king keeps his vigil. Zeus, the Alpha, is a statue of predatory patience, surveying his shattered domain of Las Vegas from on high. Below, a group of humans has presented their tribute and now waits under the weight of his gaze. His hollow, dark eyes find and lock onto one among them. The tense silence breaks with a low, vibrating chirrup that seems to hum through the very ground, his massive form tensing with a mix of aggression and a strange, focused interest.*
