Son of Artemis chapter 1- Camping

It was getting late, so while the other two slept Cory sat on an elevated rock. Stairing at the stars and the moon. This had always been his most comforting thing to do. As the light shone down calmness crept through out his body, easing the tension from his cracked ribs. There last mission had brought them to the brink of death yet again. Only now with the news of the Earth Goddess destruction could they rest.

The glow from the moon intensified whenever Cory wished. It had become his personal sun, while under its rays he felt invincible. Still it was also his own curse to burden. His existence was an abomination on the world. He was a half-blood, but unlike others his mother had not concivied him. The thought of his lifes beginning caused him to squeeze his battered legs. Blood spread out on the bandages that concealed both his scarred hands. Looking from his hands to the girls silently resting next to the fire, Cory grimaced. Cuts, bruises, broken bones. The sight hurt Cory almost as much as it did the two of them.

Loyal to the end were those two. They snored, argued, and made stupid mistakes but unlike others they always came back. They were Cory's personal stockers in dirty ponytails. "Snap." Cory launched to his feet reaching for his knifes. The moons rays shoned into the forest trees. Even with its light the thick trees and bushes covered the area infront of him. Just as Cory was about to launch into an attack the bottom of the shrubs broke free to reveal. "Ow its you again."
Putting away his knifes, heliodoro then Alkmene he sat back on the rock. The coyote sauntered over to his right side resting it's head against his leg. Cory scratched behind the big dogs ears eliciting a groan. Speaking of stockers this had to be the fifth time the black coyote had found him. Animals were always finding Cory but this one had become particularly persistent. So much so Emma had taken to calling him midnight for his color and for his timing. Midnight always appeared at what they assumed was midnight. Not original but it was still bad to go nameing wild animals.
The sudden appearance had almost relieved all previous thoughts, almost. Cory looked up at the stars thinking again how he was a freak. Unlike other children of the gods he had been more "created" than born. Like Athena's children he had been brought into this life by magic. Stolen magic however was his luck.

In the days leading after Zeus blatant betrayal of his oath. A very dark power had been fighting the moon goddess Diana. The creature, a warrior created souly to fight the roman goddess new a secret. When the gods would switche between there egos there was a window. Memory's would become vage to the other half creating loss. In that window the monster had managed steal blood from Artemis. Another pointless attack had been the only thing Diana assumed. Completely unaffected from the stolen blood. This nerve had leaft the goddess Artemis with a complete blankness of the battle.
No one knew that when a god broke his oath to the stix it affected all there living descendants. When such oaths were throughn away other's were twisted.
The monster instead of being casted to Tarterus became air then pulled to his master.

In the ruins of the Myan temple sat nothing. The creature nealed before nothing at the throne presenting its trophy. A viel filled with golden swirling blood. The room grew colder the air went away till it resembeled the outer most region of space. Three figures dropped to the ground off to the right of the monster who had stayed neiling. Along with the figure appeared two more viels, each with golden Ichor.
Sacraficial statues had been placed within these temples by the old mortals that once inhabited the country. They were untouched, unaffected by time. Perfect for the sacrafice that would take place. Each human was brought forth to neil infront of a statue. An opening resembling a postal box door layed out waiting for the offering . Cutting each mortal across the neck before pouring the golden ichor inside the monster stepped back smiling. The smile short lived when he reliezed it would be the only witness to this event. Molecules burning it felt like the sun had been dropped within his body. Then he combusted in a rain of powder. Leaving behind its final trick. When destroyed he had cursed himself like only he could. Anyone leaft with in the room would be lost to one another. It was reverse tracking leaving the children capable of finding one another. Unlike the creature's now previous employer who would now spend eternity in an attempt to find them.
The mayan's had perfected the creation of this magic. Creating life through the ending of another. Brutal but affective when you needed say the power of a half blood. Now there strengths would be his to claim when he reformed.

At least that's what Cory had gotten from the old scaley lizard before he had destroyed him. If it was true, which by the way all there lifes were going it seemed possible. Only problem. They could not go to the God's with this news. After they'd hear what they had to say, they most certainly would destroy them. Destruction most definitely went against his promise to protect them. Cory looked down at the two, Ashley had woken up. Stairing at him intently they both new it wasn't over. Not after what they had just escaped. If anything it was just beginning to look like the end of exsistance.
"Get some more sleep I've still got enough energy to keep going." Cory said looking away from her fluorescent green eyes. "We leave tomorrow at sun rise. As much as I like Colorado, we have to do it. We don't have a choice anymore." Cory looked back down at Ashley who was already back to snoring. "Ow right. Why worry about destruction when you get the offer to skip watch?" Rolling his eyes he looked back to the coyote who too had fallen asleep snoring contently. Two more hours went by before Ashley woke again. Time to releave Cory so he could sleep. So Cory rolled over next to the Coyote useing him as a pillow and fell into a nightmare.

The dreams cory had were brutal. Like all half bloods his were never as simple as falling of a cliff. No, naturally there had to be a giant talking dragon. Scales with more color's than any rainbow ever created. It stood twenty feet high with silver and gold eyes. "Please tell me your friendly." Cory asked his dream visitor. Instead of answering the large dragon just stared at Cory. Intrigued by its eyes, Cory failed to notice colors coming from the monsters mouth.
"Crappp." The blast wave sent the hill side crumpling to the kassem floor. "Ok, so your not friendly." Cory sarcastically stated while holding onto a ledge only a foot down. The vibrations of the ground were doubled by a tremendous roar. Then as if to make matters worse the head of the dragon appeared directly in his face. The monsters silver eye reminded him of his own. Well his irises anyway, the dragons whole eye glowed in a familiar way. Cory thought he was opening his mouth to blast again until a voice filled his head.
"You will come." The voice echoed in his mind rather than the rocky cliff. "Show it to me." Cory had no idea what he meant.
"Dude I dont have any idea what your talking about but your breathe stinks." His voice wouldn't come out so all Cory could do was think the insult. To which the dragon actually heard. Growling lowly the monsters massive paw reached out exstending one claw. Cory had no idea what he was doing, didn't dragons know he could not be hurt in a dream? That was his normal assumption until searing hot pain shot down his arm.
"Ouch!" Letting go of the cliff edge Cory's right arm was caught pinned to the wall. The dragons massive head leaned in closer, a mear inches were his teeth. Cory looked over at his right hand. "What the." Some how he had been burned, his skin smoking under the massive paw. "Wh-," cory began before he was cut off.
"You will come, son of the moon." That's when he let go. Sending a confused Cory to a rocky ground below. Before hitting bottom he was jolted awake screaming. No it wasn't his screaming it was Emma, and they were under attack.

Don't forget to review tell me what you thought. The next chapter will be longer and better written.
