                          in last arena if played too "fast"... lucky if you survive in such

In the underworld Kingdom of Hades, far behind the limit between Earth and Hell, there are 
five rivers of blood where the Dark Legions of the Evil are preparing our world invasion...
These rivers are named Acheron (the river of woe), Cocytus (the river of lamentation), 
Phlegethon (the river of fire), Lethe (the river of forgetfulness), and finally, Styx that 
separates Hell from the world of the living. Cross the Styx, defeat Evil's Hordes, and save 
Humanity against the coming Hell forces invasion on Earth.. Be prepared for the most 
horrible and bloody mission of your Heroic life ... Good luck...

The Poetry at the beginning:       	

              "Five hateful rivers round Inferno run,
          Grief comes the first, and then the Flood of tears,
            Next loathsome Styx, then liquid Flame appears,
                Lethe comes last, or blank oblivion."
       	

                   E. Cobham Brewer 1810–1897
