SUP GUYS! My Name is Spartan0804 and this is my first story. Be nice to me (Constructive critism is nice) and Hope you enjoy the first chapter. My writing isn't very good and I would also appreciate any reviews that point out mistakes, big or small. Now lets get on with the Show!
"I'm on Olympus" I thought, trying to remember how the Hell I got here.
Flashback
Everything was going along as it was at camp. Nothing unusual was going on, at least for demigods of course. I was teaching a Beginner Sword fighting class to a bunch of new demigods that just came in. Nothing eventful had happened since Gaea was taken down last year; however there have been an influx of older demigods showing up for some damn reason. One such person was a Son of Ares named Robert, a natural in all things to do with fighting and also a Womanizer. Since he arrived at camp he's been trying to get at my Girlfriend Annabeth, of course it wasn't possible as she rejected him all the time and everywhere. Yesterday's rejection however wasn't taken lightly by Robert, and something was different with him this morning. I didn't think about it too much however as I thought he had finally realized that it was time to stop. I should have known I was so wrong.
"PERSEUS JACKSON" Boomed Zeus "You are here before the Council of the Gods because you have been charged with murdering a demigod, do you plead Guilty to this charge"
I heard a familiar voice somewhere from the woods however I decided it was nothing to do with me, so I ignored it and continued teaching the new demigods. "Remember to focus on your enemy while in a fight, because you never know when your enemy is going to attack" The same voice from the forest screamed "Go AWAY!" It was Annabeth! "Shit" I thought, "I'll be right back guys!" I ran as fast as I could towards the origin of the voice, there I saw Robert forcing himself on to Annabeth and was most definitely succeeding. I ran up and kicked him a good 5 feet away from Annabeth, however he was fast to get up and charged. It pretty much went downhill from there, my combat reflexes took over quickly uncapping Riptide countering his charge with a low slash to his leg. He didn't seem to care about the big gash on his thigh but it did stop him from charging and pounding me, however it didn't stop him from drawing his own sword and striking me. I was faster than him and I slid past his downwards strike, slashing another gash right in his abdomen. Next thing I know, Robert was lying on the ground, not moving and presumably dead. There was a huge Thunder Boom in the sky and I blacked out"
"I don't know what happened" I replied, speaking the truth of course, "I just remember we were fighting" I heard many whispers as to discuss what to do with me. My vision finally stopped being a nuisance and gave me a full view of the council. I saw the entire Olympian council, except for Hades and my Dad.
"A good Lie, but also a lie in any case, the council has come to a decision. You are sentenced to Death"
As I was propped up on what looked like a head cutting board of some sort I was half praying to my Dad and the other half was trying to understand what just happened in the last 2 hours. I had thought they would have given some leniency towards the "Hero of Olympus" but I guess blindly murdering someone was over the limit. I was also pretty sure Annabeth was extremely angry and frightened by what I had done although I cannot recall what I had done.
"You are about to pay for what you did punk" Ares stated, but by now I was just really annoyed that they hadn't just killed me. Suddenly I heard my Father's voice in the background.
"IT WASN'T HIM!"
"Then who was it?" replied Zeus in an extremely calm voice that was very unlike the King of the gods.
"You felt it yourself, the Disturbance in the world. There was another entity there, something older than us and powerful enough to mask itself from us." Poseidon said. "The prophecy stated that Perseus would be needed for the next fight! How blind are you?"
Another entity? Another Prophecy? What on earth were they on about? Rachel hadn't been able to prophesize anything since the end of the Giant war.
"It has been decided Poseidon, you should focus on getting another son than arguing with me on this matter"
I heard a big flash sound and the smell of seawater wave pass me.
"Are you prepared?" Boomed Ares
"Just be done with it, if it has to be done then do it"
"My pleasure"
The last thing I remember is an axe bounding down towards my neck and blacking out.
"Perseus" A voice called.
….
"Perseus" The voice called again.
Was I not dead?
I woke up in the Middle of Manhattan, I looked around what looked like Times Square but couldn't determine where in the world the voice was coming from. I decided to start moving around, everything looked pretty familiar except for the fact that the city was practically devoid of people, very unlike New York City. I found an amulet some ways away from where I woke, it radiated some kind of power unlike anything I had ever felt. I picked it up and blacked out.
I saw a group of what looked like Angels, looking all angelic and stuff I have no idea what they were but they were talking about something.
"We need to stop Ackerman and his shadows from taking over Earth 2416!" said the Angel with the coolest looking helmet
"It's just one earth, we can use it as a bait to stop him in his tracks right there" said the angel with purple wings.
"It's the earth where I originated from you Idiot, we have never had this happen before and I have no idea what the hell would happen if that earth is destroyed" Said the Angel with the hood:
"Echelon, you worry way too much. You're an archangel, why are you scared about that earth disappearing. It's not like you are going to disappear." Said another angel, this one had a book in his hand.
"Because we neve….." The angel with the hood didn't get to finish his sentence as he had just completely vanished.
Everyone was silent just as another Angel burst into the room.
"Earth 2416 just vanished Imperius!"
I woke, thinking about what I just saw.
"Perseus!" The same voice again. I turned around to see where It was coming from and in front of me, the same angel from that vision that disappeared stood or floated in front of me.
"Finally, you can see me. Did you just watch me disappear?"
"Yes…" I have no idea how he knew, but he seemed contempt with my answer"
"Then that should also mean you vaguely know who I am" He replied
"I don't really remember your name" Raking through my brain for a Name I could use.
"Echelon"
"What?"
"My name is Echelon"
That's the first chapter. Will post the next chapter as soon as it is done. I look forward to seeing reviews and actually seeing this story be finished. I've never had the courage to post anything. This will be the first and I say again, be nice to me :D.
