Chapter 0: Prologue
A very peacefull afternoon in Kuoh City, Japan, a boy and a girl were talking in an airport while they waited to the girl's flight called to board.
- Ise-kun, I don't wanna go - the little girl said sadly, a twelve-year-old girl, the girl had light brown hair tied in two twintails. This girl responded to the name of Irina Shidou, who was about to move to England - I really wanna stay here... I... I don't want to get away from you - the girl was making an enormous effort not to cry, she didn't want to leave his friend.
- Come on Irina-chan, don't cy, please. - said a dark-haired boy of the same age as her.
He had sea green eyes that had a somewhat mischievous look (although also melancholy according to Irina) 24 hours a day, this child was Issei Hyodo, Ise for friends.
The reason for the girl's attachment to him is because he is her best friend and, without his knowing it, also the child she had fallen in love with.
- I know we'll see each other again very soon - Issei tried to reassure his friend, well he knew how much it hurt to have to separate, after all, he is his only friend, because other children in the city branded her as "rare" for their devotion to the Christian Religion despite being Japanese - And I promise you something? - he asked the girl while he blushed a little, because he was about to say something that, without knowing it, very very in the future would bring him problems as he never imagined (and not exactly unpleasant problems, but quite the opposite).
- W-what do you promise me? - asked Irina somewhat doubtful, it was not at all common that his friend blush that much.
- W-well I ... I ... I promise that when we meet again ... - Still somewhat unsure of what he was about to say, the boy looked at his mother, a woman of extraordinary beauty, who was in her 35s, who had wavy blonde hair and eyes in Gray Storm, which was a few meters behind them and answered the name of Mayumi Hyodo, who when seeing his son see her fixedly simply smiled and encouraged him to continue, because she knew what he was going to promise to his friend.
Issei, seeing that he had the support of his mother, steeled himself and decided to continue.
- Irina, I promise you this ... when we meet again and we are older - doubting a bit of how to continue, the boy sucked a lot of air and looked at her decidedly - I will marry you!
After saying those last three words, the boy with messy black hair closed his eyes expecting a violent reaction from his friend, but what happened left it frozen in its place and made him open his eyes wide.

Irina was giving him a kiss ...
It was a short kiss, chaste, pure and innocent as would be expected from the first kiss of a couple of children of that age, but he transmitted to Issei all that Irina felt for him.
- Ise-kun ... of course I'll marry you when we're older - After saying that, the girl separated flushed but smiling from an equally red Issei, to run with her mother Annastasia Shidou and her father Touji Shidou, who did something that Issei was not expecting, he lifted his thumb and wink an eye, as if he was giving his permission, thing that made poor Issei start to steam up his ears and his face looked like a ripe tomato again.
A few minutes later, the Shidou family plane was already lost on the horizon while being watched until it disappeared by Issei and Mayumi, who then got into his car, which the boy's mother started to drive home, but during the trip, Mayumi noticed that his son was restless in his seat.
She knew it was what he had, it was something that she also suffered ...
ADHD, or Hyperactive Disorder due to Attention Deficit, was a problem that both had due to their "peculiar" family ...
Knowing the right way to help her son relax, the woman decided to take an alternate route to go home, one that she knew well that is her son's favorite.
After a few more minutes driving, the car came to a free area of buildings that allowed them to have a perfect view of the blue sea at the bottom of some cliffs.
No doubt the view was amazing, and anyone who saw it would be totally amazed ...
But for Issei, the view of the sea was something really special ...
When he was near the sea, the child could feel the salty air soothing him and gave him a warm feeling of protection and comfort.
Issei really loved the view of the sea of Japan, but he could swear that from time to time he could see how some women greeted him from the bottom of the water, which was very strange.
Mayumi, seeing that her son had relaxed in his seat while admiring the view of the ocean, could not help feeling some nostalgia for the father of his son, a handsome man with disheveled black hair, sea green eyes that were always fixed on his beloved ocean, a thick black beard not very long and his eternal attire of fisherman with Hawaiian shirt.
Unconsciously, the woman put a hand to a necklace with colored beads that had several drawings on it and smiled with longing to remember the years she lived in the United States, her mind could not help thinking of the strawberry fields of Long Island sunset, the forests of New York, and also, in a kind of camping bungalow, blue and gold with a wooden owl carved on the door and a number 6 on the door itself.
Returning to herself, the woman decided that it was time to go home, but when she was about to tell Issei that it was time to return, she could see out of the corner of her eye a kind of oversized shadow that was about to ram the car, the which she could dodge thanks to her sharp reflexes, fruit of the more intensive training they gave her in her old summer camp.
- Okaa-chan! What happens!? - Asked Issei alarmed from the back seat as he watched his mother accelerate down the road escaping from an exaggeratedly muscular shadow that chased them.
- Why does it always have to be the bull? - Mayumi complained softly for her luck, apparently the sons of that man always had the bad luck to meet that particular monster at some point in his life ... - nothing happens honey, only ... - not having a good excuse, the woman began to curse in ancient Greek, thanking the gods that her son still could not understand it completely.
- (Come on, think about how you can escape, you're Athena's daughter, damn it!) - Putting the car in reverse, the newly revealed demigoddess decided to crash into the monster in an attempt to delay it, after which press a button of the panel of the vehicle while stepping on the pedal, causing a screen to appear on the same panel of the car that immediately showed the face of a young adult of about twenty years.
The young man in question had a rather crazy smile, curly brown hair, his skin was a little darker than hers and had features like a Latin-style Christmas elf.
- Mayumi? What's going on? Issei is fine? - erasing his smile and becoming serious, the latin boy on the screen asked those questions in Ancient Greek to the woman behind the wheel seeing the expression on her face.
- Minotaur! Tell Chiron to send Percy for Issei with Miss O'Leary! I will keep it as long as I can! HURRY UP OR I WILl KICK YOUR ASS WHEN WE SEE IN THE ELYSEUM! - He shouted in Ancient Greek to the young man without giving him time to answer, because the blonde had cut off the communication.
- OKAA-CHAN! WHAT'S GOING ON!? WHO WAS HE!? WHAT WAS THAT WHAT YOU SAID!? - Little Issei was terrified in his seat, he did not understand anything that was happening.
- Issei, listen to me, as soon as we get home, I want you to get out of the car, go up to your room and get into it - the fear could be reflected in the woman's eyes, but not fear for her life, but fear for the life of his son, who could not defend himself on his own from the attack of a monster.

The rest of the trip home was very tense and silent, but Mayumi did not lower her guard, she knew that if the minotaur was nearby, there could also be many other monsters nearby, and due to the agreement called "Live and Let Live" she had with the demons that controlled the area, could not ask for help from them, so until her "brother-in-law" arrived she would be alone.
As soon as they got home, Mayumi took Issei to his room, pretended to lock the door, placed several barricades and prepared with her celestial bronze sword to arrive:
A) Reinforcements (her favorite option)
Or else
B) Monsters (her least favorite option)
But something happened that was not really in his calculations.
The living room window exploded and a huge hole opened, from which entered a guy in a black suit, had pale skin, sunken red eyes, shark-like fangs, greasy black hair and three pairs of black wings like crow coming out of his back, another remarkable aspect of him was the huge scar that crossed his face, which ran from his left temple to below his right cheek.
Sometimes being the daughter of the Goddess of Wisdom favored Mayumi, because she immediately recognized that man.
- Well, what's a demigod here? Are not you away from home Little Goddess? - said the Fallen Angel with something of mockery in his voice - do not tell me that you are the one that carries the Red Dragon ... no ... there are no traces of Draconian energy in you ... I can feel the signature of the damned Ddraig up there ... tell me little goddess, do you have a son? - Noticing that the woman tensed and held her sword harder when she said that, the Fallen Angel smiled evilly, because it had hit the nail on the head - you'd better give it, if you do, maybe I will consider killing him quickly and let you live.
To what was said by the Fallen Angel with the face of a shark, Mayumi launched herself to attack him with her sword, but the Dark Angel simply dodged her and smiled with madness.
Creating a sword of light, the cadre began to block the attacks of the woman, who was very good at fencing, but could not be compared to him, who had fought directly against his father, the Biblical God, Elohim, besides have been fighting for millennia against demons and angels, the difference of levels was abysmal, although he had to admit that that disgusting Greek was an excellent swordswoman.
- I will not let you touch ... my son! - the daughter of Athena roared furiously as she continued attacking the cadre with all her strength, because the life of her son was in danger, she could not afford to be defeated by a disgusting Fallen Angel.

Meanwhile, in his room, Issei could hear the fight unfolding in the living room of his house, but he could not do anything, because his mother had locked him in the room and had no way of leaving the door, but suddenly, he noticed how it opened as if nothing ... apparently his mother had not really locked him up.
Without hesitation, the little black-haired boy ran out of his room and went down the stairs at full speed, only to see how his mother struggled with a sword? Against a pale man with black hair who also wielded a sword, only that made of what appeared to be Light.
- Okaa-san? - By saying that, the child caused both to see him out of the corner of his eye, although with different reactions.
His mother grimaced in horror and the dark angel smiled like a maniac.
- Well well, so that brat from there is the Red Emperor Dragon... a disgusting legacy of Athena! - Said the Fallen frowned, he really detested that goddess, and would prove it first by killing one of his daughters and then probably the most powerful of his current legacies, which was curiously extremely similar to the young man who had made his scar...
Undoubtedly killing that brat would serve to retaliate for that humiliating defeat.
Yes... if he did that, he could provoke a war against the Greeks, he could crush those egomaniacs once and for all ! All factions would have to accept that fallen angels are the most powerful race ! He could have his long-awaited revenge !
- RUN ISE! - the child was paralyzed, despite the cry of his mother, he could not move...
in that moment of distraction of Mayumi, the fallen gave him a kick in the stomach, causing her to lose her sword, which fallen do not hesitate to take advantage to pierce her's chest with the sword of light.
- NOOOOOOO! - Issei's scream could easily be heard several blocks away, a scream that was heard by a certain bullfighting creature, which gave a roar (or will it be moo?) Even stronger, which was heard by the Cadre, who simply put an expression of annoyance.
- great, a minotaur ... now that I think ... better let him kill you brat - without saying more, the pale man began to retire, but before leaving - if you manage to survive ... I hope that someday you come to me for revenge ... for a long time I have not killed a carrier of Ddraig ... do not forget the name of Kokabiel ... - with that last said, the fallen angel went in a purple flash leaving behind a lot of black feathers.
As soon as he left, Issei quickly approached his dying mother, who lay on the ground with blood coming out from the wound caused by Kokabiel.
- Okaa-chan! OKAA-CHAN ! - the child tried in vain to stop the blood that came out of the chest of his mother while tears crossed his face.
He felt guilty, had it not been for his inaction, his mother would not have been distracted.
- Ise... Ise... - with his last strength, Mayumi raised his hand to caress the face of his son - b-be strong... g-go to the camp... get strong... trust in the Gods... trust... in your family... I love you, my son... My beloved Prince of the Sea... - after saying those words, Mayumi lost all remaining strength in her and her hand fell to the ground bloody, totally inert... Mayumi Hyodo had passed away...
- Kaa ... chan ... KAA-CHAAAAAAAAN ! - the child moaned inconsolably over the lifeless body of his mother, but suddenly, he felt a snort behind him...
With fear, Issei turned slowly, only to find a monstrous being he had only seen in school books The creature in question had a huge and very muscular body worthy of a bodybuilder, but the really scary thing was that, from the neck up, had a huge bull head that snorted while licking his teeth, he had found a prey.
- H-help! SOMEBODY SAVE ME! - desperate, the little boy was screaming for help, he could not die... his mother's sacrifice could not have been in vain.
The minotaur stretched out his huge hand, ready to take and crush the boy's skull, but something happened that definitely took him by surprise...
What happened? Well, a gleaming bronze blade belonging to a sword had pierced his abdomen through his back...
The owner of that weapon, simply made a cut to the right without removing the sword from the body of the bull man, cutting it in half, but instead of jumping blood, the monster simply dissolved into sand and dust, leaving nothing more than a white horn with a black tip.
- and with that go three times Asterion, better luck next time - was said with a certain mockery a voice that Issei did not know although he felt extremely familiar.
- Damn it ... I came too late ... - said the young adult owner of that sword in a language that Issei understood perfectly despite not being Japanese.
The young man in question was a boy with black hair in a tousled gray tuft at the front, he seemed to be about twenty years old at the most.
But what most caught Issei's attention were his eyes...
Green sea, identical to his own eyes...
- Wh-who are you? ... - Issei asked the stranger in that language he did not know he knew.
- My name is Percy Jackson ... and I'm your brother - after hearing those words, the little boy fainted.
- I'll have a lot to explain to him when he wakes up - Percy told himself and then turned to see the corpse of the child's mother... - I'm so sorry, it should have been faster... - some tears were rolling for his face while saying this - I should have been here before... I know that you have won the Elysium... rest in peace Mayumi... - the sadness changed by determination in the face of the son of Poseidon - I swear by the River Styx that I will protect your Son! - After those words, a thunderclap rumbled in the sky, after which a bright golden light enveloped Mayumi's body, which disappeared in a flash, which rose to the sky slowly through the gap that had remained in the window.
After witnessing that, Percy turned to see the unconscious Issei and then lift him in his arms and leave the house in ruins - it's time to take you home... little brother...
