Robin Hood: Son of Apollo
The Awakening
Hello, my friends. My name is Little John, Son of Ares. You know how the gods tell you there were only two Titan wars? Well that is hardly true. The reason the gods do not tell you about the all three wars is that they lost their greatest hero since the days of Achilles and Jason. Who was he? Well let me paint a picture first. Once upon a time, Britain was a super power. Due to the philosophy of the gods, they shifted to Britain where the flame was, if you will. The gods resided in a place called Sherwood Forest. Of course, like modern day Olympus, there was a secret to get in. You had to be a demigod, a human hero, a ghost, an animal, a legend, a hero trainer or a god to enter. After you became or were one of those, you had to find the center of Sherwood. However there was no Camp Half-Blood. Instead demigods had to fend for themselves. That was before Robin.
June 1st, 1700
Robin cursed loudly as he tumbled through the undergrowth. His breathing was heavy and there were howls behind him. A hound burst through, into the clearing after Robin. For the fiftieth time he attempted to shoot it, with his bow "Sunlight", but it didn't work. So he kept running. How did he get into this fix? Well, there is a reason the word hothead defines Robin.
Flashback
June 1st for Robin had begun like a normal day. He woke up, ate breakfast, greeted his family, then left to shoot in an archery competition. You see Robin wasn't a normal child. His father left but he had a good stepfather, his mother made food for him and didn't ask any questions about his life. Robin was not mundane like his parents. He was a prodigy, in archery. His skills were so amazing that he almost instantly won in any competitions. However, Robin was a bit egotistic. In some ways that was, what got him killed but that is beside the point right now. On his way to the competition, he met Cyclopes, who challenged him to a shoot-out. Of course they couldn't shoot for shit, but they inflamed him. When he was enraged he didn't think much. So he killed a man. When he killed a man that was in the presence of the Cyclopes, they reacted, by unleashing hellhounds on him. So he ran. That was how he got into this fix. He had managed to kill one hellhound by running it over with a wagon. However, the other was currently on his tail.
Flashback ends
Robin was running for his life. He glanced behind him to see the hound in the other clearing, and it broke through, running towards him. It was 10 metres away and then it fell into a pit. He looked ahead only to run into a tree and he fell unconscious, and began hearing voices.
"Should we save him?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I mean that's a hellhound, it wouldn't be chasing a random mortal"
"Fine, do it"
The hellhound dug itself out of the pit, and cleared the 10 metres in one leap, only to be shot dead by an arrow and turn into golden dust. Robin slowly got up, holding his head in his hands. He groaned.
"Hello, young man." A corded man, wearing green with blonde hair and a bow, introduced himself. "I am Philocetes, son of King Poeas"
"Hello demigod, I am Chiron, Kronos's child" A man with a green top and what seemed to be horse legs, said
"I'm feeling faint" Robin said, and then promptly passed out.
Robin's P.O.V.
I came to at night, with Philocetes sitting over me. His eyes lit up once he realised I was awake.
"I know that I am a Greek hero who is supposed to be dead, and I know that Chiron is a centaur, but please don't pass out again." Philocetes said
"Wait, I thought you guys were my imagination." I said
"You didn't know we were legendary?" Philocetes questioned
"No idea" I said
"So why did you pass out?" Philocetes questioned again
"You try hitting your head on a tree while running as fast as you can." I said
"Anyways, do you know both your mom and your dad?" Philocetes inquired
"Yes, my mom is in my house right now, and she told me that my dad died for shooting one of the king's deer when the Sheriff was nearby." I said
"Did you know your dad personally?" Philocetes asked
"No sir, I did not." I said
"Did your mom tell you what your dad's profession was?" Philocetes asked
"She told me that he was a doctor, and a hunter." I said
"Well judging by that tidbit of information and the fact that you have blonde hair and sky blue eyes, your father is Apollo god of the sun, medicine, truth, reason, music and prophecy" Philocetes stated
Wait what?
