Ash: Hey guys! Welcome to my second story, which is on Kay's origin. Hope you enjoy! This is from Kay's 1st person POV, but the beginning is 3rd person, cuz babies don't notice much. Short disclaimer: I do not own DB/Z/GT, or Doctor Who, or PJO/HoO
Prologue: A hero is born
It was on February 11th a miracle happened. Of course, every birth is a miracle, but this one was special. The baby was destined to be the most powerful person ever. The mother, whose origins were not of this planet, was desperate for help in training her new son. She was very beautiful, with long black hair, and eyes filled with such kindness, she could've had two hearts. She searched all over the bright blue planet of Earth for someone to take care of her son. She soon found someone.
She heard from some people that there was a man, living in the mountains, who trained great people. She decided to take her son there. She traveled to the slopes of the great Mount Olympus, and searched for weeks, until she finally found a cave. She entered, and begged the old man to take her son and train him. She begged and begged until the man had to accept. She thanked him profusely, and left, pausing to kiss her son on the forehead, and give him a few gifts, ones she knew he's need later. A spherical metal cradle, a pocket watch with strange symbols on it, a key, a map, and nameplate made of gold. His name was Kay.
Chapter 1: Paradox gets the Point
As I walked into the training room, I heard the clang of metal. That means two of the others were going at each other again. That usually meant Paradox was practicing again.
Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kay. I live with some other children who were also left with our mentor, Eluchres, in a mountainous region. I was left here by my mother to keep me safe. According to what Eluchres says, I am a demigod. A son of Zeus, specifically. Anyways, back to the outside world.
As I walked in, I saw Paradox and Leviathan practicing their swordsmanship. Paradox looks a bit like me; he's tall, with pitch black hair, and a tan complexion. We are often compared as brothers, even though he's a son of the Titan Kronos, and I am a son of Zeus. You'd think we'd hate each other because of our parentage, right? Wrong. Paradox and I are closer than anyone else in the mountain. We are almost inseparable. We're even about the same level in fighting.
Leviathan is completely opposite. He is a pale, with neat blond hair, son of Atlas. He is medium height, and often wears a cruel smirk on his face. People never would've guessed he was my biological cousin, like Paradox.
I watched as Paradox toke him down with ease. It was to be expected. Then Paradox noticed me.
"Hey Kay. What's up?" He asked, sheathing his sword.
"Nothing much," I replied back. "It's just that it's my hour to spar."
Paradox glanced at his watch. "Well, I've got another 30 min, so how about a match? I mean, if you're not chicken." He sneered. I frowned. He wasn't usually like this. Maybe he was just peeved at something. Ah well. I'm not one to back down from a challenge.
"Let's go Doxy." I said calmly, unsheathing my sword, Vrontí.
Vrontí was special to me. I had forged it myself, out of different materials. I had climbed the slopes of Mount Olympus to gather Hyperborean Silver, slain the Chimera for its hide, and smelted down the Imperial Gold name plate my mother left with me. The result was a beautiful silver-bladed katana, with a gold hilt and guard wrapped in the hide of the Chimera.
Paradox unsheathed his sword, Χρονοστάσια, or Chronostásia; Timestopper in Greek. It was an Tartaral Obsidian (A/N: A rare metal like Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, Hyperborean Silver, and Stygian Iron, but it is commonly found in and around Tartarus, but some rare deposits are found in the overworld.) blade with a Stygian Iron hilt. We stood for a second, analyzing each other's stance. I noticed he had a limp in his left leg. Leviathan must have gotten him on the calf. Then, Paradox flew at me, slashing at my abdomen. I sidestepped it, and kicked him in his left calf. He yelled, and fell onto the floor, he recovered quickly however, and attacked my sword arm. I parried, and we fell into a cut and parry routine. I broke the routine with a jab to his chest, to which he ducked under and slashed my leg. White hot pain exploded down my thigh. Paradox usually wouldn't go for blood. He was acting strange... but that would have to be investigated later. Right now, I had to fight for my life. Paradox stabbed at my stomach, but I blocked and sidestepped. I had to end this fight, and quickly. I quickly devised a plan.
The next time Paradox tried to cut me, I slid, baseball style underneath his legs, and slashed at his back, sending him stumbling. I then kicked him into the wall, and lowered my sword point at him, placing it on his neck.
"Yield?" I asked.
"Yield." Paradox said, his voice dripping with anger. I sheathed my sword, and began walking away from him. About a second later, I heard a metallic clang, and a yelp. I turned around to see Paradox's sword lying on the ground, and against the wall, Paradox, with Eluchres' sword tip at his neck.
Eluchres was an old man, but don't let that fool you. He was a powerful warrior, the strongest in the world. He still had some of the limitations of an old man however, such as wrinkles, a decrease in his speed, and his joints would ache constantly. He is basically our father, he has raised each of us since birth. He's probably the closest thing we have to a dad.
Eluchres lowered his tip, and sheathed his sword.
"Only the coward strikes when their opponent's back is turned." Eluchres said plainly. He walked up to me, and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Good work Kay. Go to the infirmary to get fixed up." He smiled at me, and exited. I followed, and started down to the infirmary.
