The Warrior of Old
So this is my first fanfiction. First chapter is a preview not a true chapter just warning you. I'll try to update often but between school, sports, and family issues it will be hard.
In a the forest under the shine of the moon two people met for a conversation about a old myth.
"So Artemis, you came seeking knowledge of a former warrior erased from history? You seek the same thing that young Perseus searched for. The Myth, the Undefeated, the Warrior that stood between Greece and Rome for melania. The man that was betrayed by both the Romans and the Greeks. The man I watched be thrown into Tartarus by the gods he protected. The-"
"Why do you speak so highly of this boy Selene? This is another child like Zeus' arrogant son. He-"
"Is nothing like Zeus' arrogant spawn! I watched him with 40 human men stand against an army of 1,000 demigods. He defended the Greece/Rome line with his life and when he needed our gods the most the great Olympians betrayed him tossed him into Tartarus! Or tried to he escsped into Rome after frewimg his prisoners. Do you know what his final words were? How about the prophecy that was told afterwards? No then let me tell you. His final words that day were 'Do not fall yet Olympus because I will tear you down myself when I get out for you have betrayed me Olympians. I have fought for thousands of years for Greece and when betrayed flew to Rome for aid. When they betrayed me I was forced to fight those I called family. What's worse when I tried to return to Greece after I was betrayed I find out that Greece and Rome are allied to kill me. So instead of fight any longer you planned to force me into the Pit closer to my father. When I return from my father's realm be prepared for you shall face a wrath and force you have never faced before' When he finished his speech he jumped Artemis, he jumped into the pit. No fear whatsoever he just jumped. The prophecy was something that no one will ever forget. I know for sure the Olympians won't I don't tell you this out of trust Artemis because this man he showed me that not every boywas bad. I feel like I'm betraying a man I never truly knew by helping you."
"Selene what do you mean you don't tell me this out of trust? Do you not trust me? What was the prophecy? Do you-"
"Artemis I trust you completely truly. But this warrior he oozed leadership, respect, and power. He saved the life of several maidens and females on the battlefield countless times. The prophecy was terrifying to say the least. It went like this
From below the pit a warrior rise
betrayed by family forsaken by all
Untold power in his wake
Metal warriors come to fight
But find hopless against the might
Olympus to rise or raze
The warrior of Myth shall be the key
He was destined to be great yet he was betrayed by Olympus and I fear that they will burn for it. He also had twelve sisters before they were lost is a surprise attack."
"What do you mean by lost is a surprise attack Selene? Do you know his name and their name as well?"
"Yes I do know his name. His sisters I do not. But I mean that the thirteen of them together were unstoppable. They could have done anything together. But there was another thirteen. They were called the Thirteen while Brianian as he was called or he liked to be called Lightning were called the Dark siblings The Thirteen were the exact opposite of the Dark Siblings, twelve boys and one girl. The girl always fought with a hammer and clashed with Brianian, who fought with a hammer sword combo. They seemed even almost all the time and when they fought she would yell 'for Primus' Still have no clue what it means but it made Brianian angry. He would yell out something that I could never truly hear but it always sounded like 'for Unicron' I asked him about it only once but he dodged the question and went to battle. But that day they weren't prepared he was moving his small group to another battle when blue arrows rained from the sky. Anything they hit was killed almost instantly human wise. He lost four of his sisters in the first wave. But he lost well over half his small army in the single volley. Almost immediately six more volleys of arrows fell on them. He lost all but three of his sister and two of them where severely injured. When the Thirteen dropped from the hills and took out the two injured warriors I was extremely tempted to jump and help but when the true battle started between the final two members of the Dark Siblings and the Thirteen I realised I was completely outmatched. But after well over three hours of fighting the final sister fell and pure rage, sadness, and bloodlust radiated through the small valley. Brianian was the last to stand of the Dark Siblings the first of them born but the last of them to fall. But he never fell and fought all Thirteen."
"What happened did he win or lose? And what happened afterwards?"
"He won Artemis he won but the Thirteen escaped and he took a heavy blow he limped away and I didn't see him again until he was on a battlefield. He was no longer the warrior of jokes though. He turned cold unrelenting and… heartless is the only word I can think of. Losing so many men and his siblings… it changed him everyone knew it even the Olympians. They tried to send someone to make him happy but he sent them all back and then the Roman general came. She was called Reyna. Never knew her by anything else but she was the first to battle him with a army for more than three days and give a slight battle to him. She was obviously outmatched but he kept her around and I think he may have slowly fell for her over the years of the campaign. Then he finally put a end to the campaign by defeating and capturing her. He never tortured, raped, or abused her in any way. He actually treated her kindly counting everything that happened. Then when he was betrayed she was nearly killed but he saved her and released her to go back to Rome. He did the same when he reached Rome he pled his loyalty until given a reason to fight back. They gave it to him to when they joined Greece to kill him but only succeed in driving him to the Pit. But do you know how many gods it took Artemis? It took 6 Olympians from each council but Athena and Juno made the difference when they helped push him back. Even then he stepped into the pit willingly after taking Athena captive."
Artemis looked down in thought while listening to the story she realised that there's no way a mere mortal could fight gods. But so many gods how did it happen? How could a mortal or immortal for that matter stand against 12 Olympians then at the end Ares and Juno arriving to help? How?
Please review. I accept flames and won't give a harsh comment back.
