When I first awoken all I could see was darkness, darkness, and agony.

Everything around me was miserable, but it all changed quickly when a group of furry beasts came at me.

The first struck me biting down on my arm, and pulling me down on the ground while tearing at me, and the others joined in 1 on my leg, and another on my chest, and others found their targets soon the others could not find a spot do to over crowding.

As I looked down on them I could see my body began to open up from the bites but nothing came out of them, and even when a beast locked down on my neck nothing happened.

I did not know what was going on, I where I was, and I did not know who I was.

Finally I tried to stand up, and by doing so my arms wrapped around the necks of the beasts, while I tried to get leverage, and a sound appeared that blasted through my ears, that was bones breaking, and suddenly the beasts fell down to the ground, and before their hefty weight could clamor down on me their bodies turned to dust.

I finally was able to stand, and when I did so the other beasts around me backed up, and looked at my chest, and when they did so they laid down on the ground, and covered their noses, and began to whimper.

I looked down to my body, and I began to slap at my wounds, when I saw black bubbling liquid appear on them, but when my hands came in contact with them, my hands turned to black liquid momentarily, and when the bubbling stopped my body was back to normal, but with a black tint that gave off a warm sensation that somehow was calming.

I looked back to the beasts, and walked over to them, the scattered away in fear except for 1 that accidentally ran to fast, and it's leg slipped out from under it, and with a whimper it fell to the ground.

I made my way over to it, and got to down onto my knees, and put my hand on it's leg, again it tried to run away, but when I moved my hand over it's broken leg, my hand began to dissolve again, and down into the beasts leg.

Somehow I could now see through it's skin, and the black liquid came into contact with the broken bone the liquid began to pull it back together, until finally when my hand returned to normal it's arm was healed.

I stood, and watched as the beast began to stand back up testing it's leg with some weight, and it ran away.

I too began to walk away leaving them alone now that I was not in danger.

Slowly my mind began to put some things together I knew what danger was now, and had those beasts not ran away instead of going at me again, I would have done to them what I did to the others.

I took in my surroundings, and besides black, and gray I could not see much else, and when I saw other living beings they were either being chased by other things, or trying to hide for some reason.

The first thing that shook me up was a rumbling from inside my body, I ignored it at first, but when I rumbled more, and more my walking began to slow down.

After a certain amount of time I fell to the ground, and sat against a rock.

My eyes caught movement ahead of me, and I could see the 7 beasts from earlier began to walk towards me.

I wondered if now that I could hardly move they would try to attack me again, but instead 6 of them stayed behind, while another walked forward with something large with 4 legs between it's mouth, and when it got close enough it dropped the thing in it's mouth at my feet, and backed up.

I sat looking at when it dropped in front of me, and it was as big as me if not bigger, with horns on it's head.

I looked back up at the hairy beast, but it seemed that now that I was looking at it better something appeared in my head. "It's not a hairy beast, it's called a hellhound."

"Is someone there?"

The hellhounds turned their heads to the side, and leaned forward, and looked around, but I waited back from the voice in my head, but nothing was spoken back.

Finally I looked back at the hellhound that was closest to me.

"What is this for?"

The hellhound raised an eyebrow, and stepped forward, and opened it's mouth, and bit down on the dead beast at my feet, and bit down tearing off some flesh, and began to chew, and then swallowed, and looked back at me, and then walked back.

I was close enough to whatever it was.

"Mutated Centaur."

I looked back up "who are you".

I grunted in frustration when nothing was spoken back.

I crawled up to the mutated centaur, and tore through the open flesh with my hand, and pulled back a large strip of flesh, and began to tear into it.

The meat was off putting at first, but when I swallowed it and then it tasted much better, I began to eat all that was in my hand, until it was gone, and I went back into the leg, until finally only a boney leg was showing difference from the rest of it's body, that had all of it's flesh left on.

Then I pulled at the other leg, until it tour off, and I threw it out towards the 6 hellhounds that were the farthest back, they jumped back in surprise, but without any other hesitation they tore into the centaur's leg, and I nodded my head at the rest of the centaur.

"I am full eat your fill."

Now that I knew what I was needing, and was full I was more than willing to give back. These hellhounds took pit in me, and gave me food even after I killed some of their pack. Surprisingly each hellhound now that there was half of the centaur left they each took their own fill, and made sure the others ate.

Now that I was full I could feel my eyes grow heavy I rested my eyes grow heavy, and I laid my head against the rock, and began to sleep.

I was woken up by the sounds of fighting, and when I looked around I saw all 7 hellhounds fighting a group of scaly women. 1 of the hellhounds was caught in a net, while 3 more were trying to protect it, and the other 3 were standing before me facing 5 of the women.

I began to stand up, and the women were pointing weapons at me.

"Dumb animals all they would have to do is give up the man, and we would give them a quick death, instead of dragging this out."

Anger rolled through me as they made fun, and attacked the hellhounds that were protecting me.

I stepped past the hellhounds that were protecting me, and when they walked forward, I turned back to them. "Go help the rest of your pack, while I distract them, when you get done you can help."

2 of the hellhounds turned to look at the hellhound in the middle, and finally it nodded it's head, and they made a sharp right as they ran forward.

2 of the women tried to attack but I yelled at them.

"You want me here I am, with no help what are you waiting for?"

"Heeessss right letsss get him."

"Dracaena".

I didn't even question the voice instead I grabbed the centaur carcass that was next to me with both hands, and pulled.

Each hand broke off a different piece 1 was a section of the rib cage, and the second was a front leg.

As they broke apart the black liquid appeared again, and began to cover each of them forming a coating. The liquid didn't disappear instead it stayed on forming a hard shell on the rib cage, and on the leg bone, it changed it turning 1 end into a sharpened end.

The rib cage was big enough that I could cover most of my body, and the leg bone was long enough that I could hold it above the cage, or below it and stab outwards with most of it outwards.

The dracaena were confused at first, but they ran at me.

The first collided with my rib shield, and tried to throw a net at me, but the height of the rib shield caught the net and defied her intent, and I lunged forward causing her to fall to the ground under my shield, and again I heard a breaking, but not from my shield instead her body arched, and her body dissolved.

I could feel something stick through me on multiple sides, and when I looked around the dracaena stabbed me with dark spears like mine, and both weapons were sticking out from my body.

I stood up from the deceased dracanea and looked at the other 2, and broke their spears with my shield, and spear.

I was greatly using my new intelligence to figure out what shields, and types of weapons were, because when their spears were broken I threw my spear towards the dracaena on my right, and when it hit her, it went right through her forehead.

The hellhounds had now got their pack mate free, and they were able to overtake the 2 dracaena that had captured it, and turned back to the remaining dracaena that were trying to fight me.

"Let'sss get out of hereee."

The other dracaena were about to respond but the hellhounds disappeared, and reappeared around the other dracaena, and tackled them to the ground. It was only after 1 was left that she screamed for help, and I held my hand out.

The hellhound that was about to bite off her head backed off but kept it's right front paw on her back.

"Please I swear on the river Styx, I won't try to harm you, or your hellhounds anymore we were just trying to find food, please I don't want to die."

Thunder rumbled around us, and we all jumped to alert besides the dracaena.

When I got a closer look at the dracanea I couldn't remember seeing her in the group that made fun of the hellhounds, or the 2 that captured the other.

"Please I will do whatever you want, I can craft weapons, I can build armor for you, but please let me live."

I nodded my head.

"If you make a single move against them, or against me, not only will I let them kill you, but if I can first I will."

To make the statement clear I threw the bone shield at her, and when it stuck into the ground, it was just inches from her face, and when it landed the black shielding around it dissolved away, leaving a ribcage.

The hellhound on her backed up, and the others formed around me.

The dracaena finally got to a standing position.

"What is your name master I will do whatever I can for you."

"If I could give you a name I would, but I can't, and you will not call me master."

I turned to look at the hellhound on my left who I had healed it's leg, and brought me the food. "Can you understand her?"

The hellhound nodded it's head, and the dracaena.

"Yes I can my lord."

"Wait you can understand me."

The other hellhounds nodded in agreement. "You have earned our respect here, you could have killed us when we attacked you, instead you helped me, when you killed our Alpha I was made Alpha, and I gave our remaining pack your allegiance. "We have only kept silent because we did not know what you knew of us, and we did not want to alarm you, even now only you can hear us."

"What is your name hellhound?"

"Like you we do not have names, normally. So far in hellhound existence only 1 has been given 1, and that is Mrs. O Leary who is owned by Percy Jackson."

I scratched my head. "Well I just can't call you hellhound. So you can pick whatever name you want if you have heard of any along with the rest of your pack, and I can call you by that."

The dracaena stood confused, until I spoke to her again. "Get to know this hellhound you will report to him. He is your alpha, if you call anyone master it will be him."

I took some monster dust in my hand, and put it on the back of the hellhounds back, and when I spread it out, it stuck somehow, and becoming engraved.

"You will make armor, and weapons for all of us, including yourself."

I Pointed to 3 of the wolves on my left, and pointed forward.

"You 3 will go with her, and help her with whatever she needs. Can you do that disappearing again if needed."

My second in commanded nodded his head. "Yes we can, but it will take some time if they go to far away. The disappearing as you call it is called shadow traveling, and while we used it once in short distances it still took energy from us, if you want us to do again in the next few hours we will need more food, and my name is Col. I heard it somewhere in the world above as something short for another word, but it stuck in my head, and if you want a temporary name until you find a better we can call you General."

Since I didn't know any better I nodded my head.

"Okay Col, me, and 3 of your pack to find more food to help you all. The other 3 will stay behind and watch the dracaena if she can make more armor, and weapons surely she can make more with what was left behind from her friends."

"The dracaena moved her hand up.

"I can do that here, with the armor, and weapons that were left behind, but with their size the armor will not be big enough to fit any of you, and the weapons will only be usable to you, in order to make some for Col, and the others, and you, I will need a large fire, and lots of wood to melt down the armor."

I looked around to see a few dead tree's and looked back at her, but she only shook her head. "I will need 5 times the amount of wood, and after that I will have enough the rest I can do myself, with the stones nearby."

"Promise me here right now that you will not try to escape, and I will get you what you need."

"As long as I have protection to do what I need I promise you I will not escape, but I have promised you my loyalty if I do leave it will only be out of self preservation, and I will still be in debt to you."

I now had to rethink my plan. I looked to Col. "Me, and 2 of your pack of your choosing will go and look for more food. 2 of your pack will go look for more wood in the area that is close enough for safety, and if they are in danger they will travel back to the dracaena, if they are not in danger they will bring back what wood they can in small doses they can carry, and at the same time you, and the other 2 will find food, and I will help, but at the same time we will look for wood."

Col nodded his head, and snarled, at once 2 hellhounds stepped forward, and 2 others ran off while another 2 stayed behind.

At once the dracane began to stack stones, while she asked that 2 of the hellhounds began to dig a 4 foot deep hole.

Me, and Col, and the others ran off, and before we left I grabbed the shield, and the spear which returned to it's black coating, while when I didn't notice the spear blades in my body were gone, and the wounds were healed.

We ran around the rock cliff we were camping at, and charged onwards. "Col told me about certain beasts, in Tartarus, and when I asked he and the others told me all about it. Apparently I was in an evil place reserved for only monsters, and evil beings. Col never apologized for what he was, but he only did what he did to survive.

As I learned about Drakons, wild Centaurs, dracaena, empousa, pit scorpions, worm diggers that sprayed acid when defeated, children, that appeared friendly and when enclosed upon viciously attacked, along with dozens of others creatures.

Hellhounds were not to be messed with, but there were some things that even a pack of 50 hellhounds could not defeat like a drakon.

Hellhounds did not know the meaning of time in the endless darkness, but after a while we came upon 2 children. We stayed beyond it's eye-line, and Col told me to stay back, and for us to go another way, but I asked him to tell me more about them.

The children were small infants that were playing with a ball.

"General they are not to be messed with they have viciously sharp fans, claws, and a hard spiked ball for a tail, we are strong, but their tails seem to have a mind of their own, if it was 2 on 1 maybe we can win, but their tails are strong enough to crack through a boulder of stone, we are not strong enough, maybe we can find a couple of wild centaurs, or a cyclopes later on down the line.

"Col when we first met what happened."

"I am sorry General we attacked you I thought you had forgiven us."

"I have Col, but that was not what I asked. What happened when we first met?"

"My pack attacked you, and you defeated some of them."

"Okay but when they attacked me did they kill me, did they dismember a limb, did they break off my head, did you see blood?"

"Now General, none of that." Finally Col seemed to understand.

"I will go forward, play dumb, let them fall into my trap. Is their anyway I can kill them without them turning to dust?"

"Yes General. If you kill out of combat here they will turn to dust, but they will return somewhere in Tartarus with a blank mind not knowing who they are. If you kill them for food, it will be different. Their body will stay here, but their essences will reappear somewhere else like I said earlier anew. It is the system of Tartarus if not all of us would die constantly over and over."

"Okay Col so I will kill for need of food, not maybe my own now, but maybe I will feed from some of it while the rest will go to you."

"I know you see the small thatch of woods behind them, while I am fighting them I want you to collect the wood, and return it to camp, there should be enough 4 times over for what she needs, I will see you back there when I am done."

Before they marched off. "I may take longer to find more food, so if I am not back in 2 sleep cycles come, and find me."

"I will come with you General with the food, we can shadow travel back together."

I did not refuse his offering. You will stay behind me at all times if you are ever in danger travel away to camp, but you are never to engage in combat unless you are sure you can personally live without me there, I want you to make that promise Col, if you want me to be there, you will make that promise, and I don't need that swear on the river Styx she said, but your oath to me. I can fight more than you can."

"I swear general, if I cannot personally defeat any enemies before me like you were not there, I will not engage in combat even if you are there, but I also make this promise, wood, and food or no, if you are beyond your own power I will shadow travel away with you to camp."

"Okay then Col, lets make sure we get you, and your camp the food you need before they shadow travel away with the wood, and you traveling with me."

That was the last that was said when I walked onwards.

The shield somehow turned into a tunic that covered me neck to kneecaps, and the spear transformed into a leather set of gloves.

I stumbled forward into the den of the children. While Col stayed behind, and the other 2 moved around with the same promise that Col made with the exception of staying behind to help me, if they encountered stronger enemies they could handle they would back track, if not they would collect the wood until the children were defeated, and when that happened the 2 with the wood would travel back to camp while me, and Col moved forward.

I used my new clothing to move further, and further forward, and the more I moved forward I took on a limping stance. Col told me that the weaker the target the more the children hunted upon, if they were stronger than the children they would run away.

As I got within eyesight of the children they looked forward, and made crying sounds. Expecting me to come to help them.

As I looked harder I could see the balls that they were playing with, were actually connected to them.

When I got with yards of them I held out my hands.

"I am here to help you youngster's"

They held out their arms as if to accept my offering, and I did not do the earlier offering for nothing.

When their hands turned to claws, and their teeth to fangs, my outstretched hands, turned to shield, and spear.

The first children ran right into my spear, and I made sure hunger was first on my mind, and when it dropped off my shield when it popped of a spear end of my shield, I did not turn to dust. The other grabbed onto my spear arm, and wrapped it's tail around my neck, and smashed it's tail, into my face, as it's spiked tail caught my eye, I cried in pain.

As I fell to the ground it began to crawl down while keeping it's hold on my neck, and claw at my chest, before it's 3rd claw entered my chest it was torn away. By a giant hellhound."

The tail was left around my neck, but not tightening, as Col ripped away the Children's throat.

"I am sorry General I know you could have handled yourself, but I could not see yourself in pain, and I knew my safety when it kept it's tail around your throat."

I took the spiked tail off my neck, but as it hung in my hand, black liquid appeared around, it until I held a spiked mace in my hand.

Col howled in the sky as the dying monster stopped moving as it's throat was ripped out."

The other 2 hellhounds ate at the corpses, while leaving their heads, and chests for Col.

Col ate the first body that was remaining while I silently strapped what was left of it's body to 1 of the hellhounds, along with a great deal of wood that the hellhounds had taken. Their fur was long enough to wrap around what was needed, and I used the surrounding environment to help accept more, and with a how from Col, they ran off into the shadows.

When it was just the 2 of us Col looked at me. "Why did you not eat General, even hunger will come to you?"

"I am not hungry right now, and I am sure we can find more prey, you need the food more than I do."

I looked past the dead tree's that remained. "Lead the way Col."

Col moved onwards, and I followed his path.

We came upon many tree's but nothing held more than a branch or two most likely from used as a heat source. I took the branches in my tunic pocket, and thankfully when the branches went in not only did bulges not show, but when enemies were defeated food was placed into them like nothing.

I began to think like my pockets like a never ending food source until we met a colony of cyclopes large enough that Col. Stepped back, and Placed his paws over his nose. "

"Please General we have enough, and it's in the timescale please lets go back."

I stepped forward.

"We are not more than 3 sleep cycles away from camp, not only does that mean we are close from camp, enough so that you can shadow travel away, but it also means they are close enough to attack, and I can go backwards."

"Please General there are over 100 cyclopes there even with the rest of our camp we cannot defeat them."

I took off my tunic that held all the food, and placed it on Col. The tunic took the shape of his body with the help of the mysterious black liquid.

"Go now that is a direct order, if the black liquid inside of me can create armor, and make pockets of food surely I can beat those inside, get more food, armor, and weapons enough to last us 30 sleep cycles."

Col took 1 last look at me. "My pack has enough food in them to travel this distance away 5 over by now when this food reaches them, when this reaches them. Wait a few moments, and then if danger call upon us, and we will help you."

Col nuzzled his nose against my hand, and disappeared in the shadows.

I took my time moving around the cyclopes camp there was large armor surrounding the tents, and when I touched my finger upon them the black liquid spread on it. The first appeared as a shirt, and the second, third, and fourth appeared as larger, and larger pieces of armor.

Finally as I entered the deeper parts of camps I encountered clubs, maces, cannonballs, and tridents. I had already had a mace, but as it wrapped around my own it gained a golden glow around the spikes, I also gained a trident, and a cannonball.

At last when I appeared at the back of the cyclopes camp, they stood forward.

In my right hand I held my empowered mace, and in the left I held the spear that reappeared before me.

Many of the cyclopes tried to attack me but as their attacks bounced off my chest plate. I launched the trident, and the cannonball into others.

The trident was able to skewer 3 of the cyclopes, and the cannonball bounced off 5 of the cyclopes heads that left them in piles of bodies, some of the others held swords, but as I yelled jets of black erupted out, of my mouth and stabbed forward into multiple cyclopes, as they died.

Finally when there were 12 left they groveled forward, and begged me to spare them. When I gave them the offer they happily accepted, but I gave them a fierce warning that any betrayal would mean instant death. I gave them small knives, and told them to butcher the dead, collect any other weapons, and armor, and return to camp which I drew in the sand.

It took 15 minutes before the cyclopes stepped forward, I gave them the go ahead, and they left to camp.

When hunger happened. I took the meat of the Cyclopes I could eat that remained, while I called upon Col. He appeared in 3 heartbeats, and when he saw the dead bodies he froze.

"How are things going at camp Col?"

"Well enough general the dracaena who asked to be referred by Bell has already made claw gloves for the pack."

He extended out his claws, and I saw they were now covered in sharpened gold, bronze, and stone.

"Not only that but with the help of some reinforcements that arrived we have began to form a small barricade around the camp, and with the cyclopes that have joined us they will be able to triple the crafting, and building."

"Well I am going to continue on, collect any other meat you can with a few of your pack, and expect more allies to come."

Col nodded his head, and spoke. "I will bring Bell with me she will be able to help pack the meat, and any other usable supplies that are here."

I moved forward,, and I took a few of the remaining weapons, and armor to increase my defenses, and left Col behind.

When a long gold dagger, a bow, and arrows appeared in my arsenal I moved onwards

The walk itself was a day, and in that time I appeared before 20 more cyclopes, 17 more hellhounds, 5 empousa, 100 harpies, 39 dracaena and 2 drakons.

8 of the cyclopes agreed to serve me when I gave them a demonstration of my power, and 4 of the hellhounds refused, and after I killed them in self defense 6 ran away, and the other 7 served an oath to me, and I gave the directions to my camp as for the empousa they were not to be trusted, and when they tried to seduce me I struck when they got close enough.

The dracaena ran off before I could fight them, because they saw weaker target in the distance, and as for the drakons that was a whole different story.

Finally when I stood before the drakons they were locked in a heated battle. 1 was much larger than the other with red, and green highlights on it's scales, and the other was with yellow and blue. They were fighting over a centaur carcass, and when I made my clothes turn to armor I was in full black armor, a sword, a spear, a mace, a bow, and a dagger hanging by my waist.

I didn't dare call upon any of my army because what I knew of the drakon their acid could blow through anything, even the hellhounds that could shadow travel, their fangs could not penetrate the drakon.

I wanted at first to let them fight until only 1 was left but I could hear speaking. "Please I am so hungry I have not eaten in 4 days, all I am asking for is this 1 carcass that I killed."

"When you can take it from me you can have, it that is the law of the land."

It was the yellow, and blue drakon that was asking for the food, while the bigger drakon bullied it's way to get the food.

I didn't know if I could beat both of them but I stood forward.

"If you join me you can have all the food you want, we share what we get."

The drakons stopped fighting, and the drakon I was speaking to slithered away confused at what was happening.

I stepped forward to the bigger drakon. "Give him the food he caught, and I will let you live."

The drakon slithered before me until it was towering above me, and it snaked out it's tongue.

"You smell tasty, what are you?"

He sniffed again. "You are not human, you are not demigod, and you are surely not a god."

I stripped the sword off of my hip, and I looked at the smaller drakon.

"If I kill him, will you trust me."

The smaller drakon nodded it's head. "Please he has been tormenting me for centuries because I am weaker than him, if you can defeat him, I will do whatever you want."

The bigger drakon laughed inside that translated into a slithery laugh.

"Okay big guy you get the first move, but know this I am not to be messed with."

The drakon moved it's tail side to side, and showed it's fangs making me look between both threats. Either he would attack with a dangerously strong strike from his tail, or he would lung at me with his poisoned fangs.

"You will make a fine meal."

It struck out with it's tail at the same time it lunged forward with it's mouth. In turn I leaped forward towards it's body to dodge it's attacks, and I stabbed at it's stomach with my sword.

When the sword came in contact with it, the blade broke in half. The drakon laughed in turn, and coiled it's tail inward.

I jumped upwards, and climbed up it's body, and in turn it began to thrash around.

When it's body rolled on me, I could only hold my breath as the breath was taken out of my body. My armor did not break, but I was under 2 tons of weight.

I wrapped my arms around it's body, and pulled inwards. I had used my strength before but never in this context.

My strength stopped it's rolling, and when I got enough pull I was on-top of it, and it turned it's head to look at me, and in an instant a showering stream of drakon acid erupted onto my body.

I yelled in pain, and in that instant I could feel my armor, and weapons dissolve.

When the pain stopped I was bleeding black liquid, and I looked onto the drakon who was shocked. But as I squeezed cracks began to form, and in that instant my body dissolved. I could feel every part of the liquid inside of me, spread through it's body, and while dozens of different parts of my body spread outwards in it, the black liquid was not healing, instead when it came in contact with blood the blood dried up, and when it touched muscles they shriveled, and when they came in contact with major organs they blew up in a mass of bloody tissue.

The strongest yet when my liquid reached it's brain, even I could hear it's scream of pain, as it's brain blew out from it's head.

As my liquid spread outwards from it's body, it began to take shape, and my body returned to normal minus the armor, and weapons.

The bigger drakon layed on the ground squeezing out blood, and bodily tissue.

With a new breath of air, I looked at the smaller drakon, and it slithered towards me, until it was on my right.

"I will do whatever you want, just please don't hurt me."

"As long as you don't hurt my friends no harm will come to you, and I will protect you all, as it was my last breath."

"Now go and eat what you wanted, can you carry it's corpse when you are done?"

The drakon nodded it's head. "I will need your help keeping it's body still."

"That will not be necessary I grabbed a part of the drakons scale on it's tail, and blood of my body as I now called it spread on the scale, and it dissolved outwards until it was a 45 foot long rope of hardened scale, that was loose, and limber, I connect 1 part of it to the dead drakon, and connected it to the tail of my new ally."

"When you are done eating we will go back to camp I will find you more food, if there are some, but I tell you have made the right choice."

The drakon was done with the centaur in less than a minute, and when he was done I climbed on a groove of his neck, and we moved onwards.

He moved slower than I did, but in 3 sleep cycles we arrived at camp. In turn it took 3 more centaurs, 14 harpies, and 1 cyclopes to fully feed him from his malnourished hunger. When we arrived back at camp I was surprised.

Wood, stone, gold, and bronze stood before us. 3 hellhounds stood before the wall, while cyclopes manned the wall with giant crossbows.

Despite the drakon I was riding on, the gates opened, and we came through.

The hellhounds took apart the rope that was holding the dead drakon.

I spoke to Fang, and Bell. "I don't know if the meat inside is usable anymore but there is enough other supplies on it, and it's scales could help."

Bell quickly told my new friend to take apart the scales, and the drakon bit them off. Some cyclopes that were not on the wall took off the meat, and nodded. "The meat is good, in tartarus so long as it is needed for food dead meat can last months, we can smoke it here to last a lot longer."

"Then do what you need, and assemble a strike force of hellhounds, and cyclopes, with enhanced armor and weapons Col, when they are ready they can move out to find more food, and supplies."

The drakon looked at me. "I can help General I can do much to gain food, and supplies. I may not be the strongest drakon but I can do a lot."

I looked to Col.

"Now that I am here I want you to lead the force. Do you trust everyone here?"

Col rolled his shoulders. "They all made an oath like we did, there are may dangerous things in Tartarus but a drakon will help us leaps, and bounds."

I looked to the drakon. "starting the next day of the sleep cycle you will help them, you will report to Col, you will help them in stronger fights, but you will also carry supplies.

The drakon bowed his head in approval.

I moved onwards with Col, and he led me a certain way towards a large tent, made of multiple furs.

"This is your place General. I will guard it personally at all times you are here.

I moved in to the tent, and I could see a large bed made up of dozens of furs. I looked out, to see Col standing there.

"Are you coming in?"

"My duty is out here General, so no."

I took off 5 off the top covers of my bed, and threw them on the ground at the entrance of my tent not only half outside, but also half inside.

"This is your bed Col. If I am to sleep in comfort you will too."

Col walked up to the blanket of furs, and took a few circles around, and laid down head facing out of the tent.

I laid down on my bed, and closed my eyes.

While I slept I could see a woman in my dreams. "You have learned the first steps of you powers, while I did not expect your birth, I admit it was different than what we learned, from others before you learned it all the same."

"I give you this General."

The woman touched her finger on my chest, and I looked at myself from her point of view. My body was standing normally then it changed suddenly I was then a hellhound, to a male dracaea, to a cyclopes, a drakon, to a children, to other things I never saw.

"use them well young one."
