Ronskystorm: Well here's the story. I need some popcorn!
I was getting pretty sick of this darn dragon. I had tried everything to get rid of it. Making loud noises, throwing rocks, heck I even decapitated it once with a beef shish kabob (don't ask) but two heads grew back. That's when i realized that it was a hydra from greek myth.
Hi for all of you who don't know me. My name is stephen sitting bull. It's okay laugh it out about my surname. My mother is a native american in arizona and that's her last name since my great times ten grandfathers name was sitting bull. Why don't I use my dad's surname? I never knew the guy but my mom said he was awesome. He would always tell these cool stories to my mom that she told to me when I was older. But he had to leave because of his really important job. I don't hold a grudge to him however. My mom told me that he loved me so much; he just had to go because he was afraid something would happen to us if he didn't leave and also because of his mega important job. But before he left, he gave my mom a necklace with a native american arrowhead on it and a note. He said to give it to me on my 15th birthday and I received it then. When i read the note here's what it said:
Son,
if you are reading this note, you have turned into a fine young man and
reached your 15th birthday. I am so proud of you and I hope you find
your path. But your path contains many hardships ahead and you
are in need of training. Go seek a friend of mine in New york. He works
for the Delphi Strawberry Service. Find him and he will lead you on your
correct path. Remember son, I love you. If you are ever in any dire situation
just press the emblem on your necklace,
With reading that note, I packed my backpack and said good bye to my mother. Now I traveled the first few days in peace until I hit massachusetts. That's when my dragon, sorry, hydra friend found me and I had been without sleep for 48 hours. I would do anything for sleep right now. Now you all are probably thinking, "press the emblem you lunatick instead of cutting of the head with a shish kabob. Call me crazy, most people do, but with the hydra i never felt any real danger. Well at this point I am feeling pretty weak and I'm about to give up the chase until I'm in the middle of the woods somewhere in Long island. I turn and stop to see if I lost Mr. persistent. I see that he's not here and I take a big breath.
"Yes! I lost him." I yell. But that's when he crashes through the woods and sees me. He stops and examines me. We stand there for what seems like hours, it was actually only about 2 minutes but I'm impatient. I am seriously ADHD. While he examines me, I think I might as well examine the beast that has been pursuing me for 2 days. First off all I can say is that it's small. I mean don't get me wrong it's twelve feet long but it seems small compared to another hydra. Then I realize that it's probably newly spawned since it did cause quite an outburst at that wingstop (again don't ask) and i pull myself to look at the monster again. It's twelve feet long, it's body about the size of a horse. It's a pretty blue but it's eyes are startling. Because they have a dark purple, sparkle of intelligence to them. With a start, I realize it only has one head again. I shrug it off as nothing. I look into the beast's eyes and that's when I probably did the stupidest thing in my entire life; I tried to touch it. But before I could I hear screams and shouts coming from the forest. The hydra took one long look at me and ran off into the forest. That's when three people show up. The first looks like a latino elf with severe ADHD like me.
"Hey! Hydra bait! Are you okay?" the elf said. The second person smacked him. The girl had dark eyes and brown hair.
"Leo! Don't tease him." She said in a stern voice.
"Sunshine, teasing is what I do best." Leo said
"Well he just got here and don't call me sunshine!"
"Oh come on Calypso you know you love it." Leo said and grinned.
"Calypso! Can you please tell your boyfriend to shut it!" Said the third person. That's when I saw her. I'll be honest, I thought this girl was really beautiful. She was about 5 8 and wore leather armor. She had long black hair and had these piercing eyes that gave her an aura of power and confidence.
"Please she can't shut me up. I'm a -" That is as far as leo got before Calypso leaned in and kissed him. Thus shutting him up.
"Now let's give him a proper introduction. Hi my name is Reyna and the two lovebirds behind me are Calypso and leo." Reyna said.
"The girl in front is the lone wolf. She's had a tough love life." leo said
"Leo!" Calypso yelled at him.
"What?" leo says casually. Calypso smacks him on the arm.
"It's … okay." Reyna says through her teeth. Leo and Calypso were still bickering. They couldn't tell that Reyna was on the verge of tears. See apparently, I have this power to read people's emotions. At this point, I only did what I knew how to do; I hugged her. My family was always very loving and if one of us needed a hug; we would give them one. As soon as I did it; I regretted it. I pulled away quickly.
"I'm so sorry! It's a habit. My family is a very close one. And you looked like you needed a hug so I… um." I say and I turn bright red. I looked at my boots with shame.
Calypso gave a big smile. Leo looked like he was trying not to laugh. Reyna just looked plain shocked.
"Hello?" I wave my hand in front of her face. " I'm sorry that I hugged you. I didn't mean to offend you. It just looked like you needed a hug." I say in a small voice.
"Looked like she needed a hug? She looked like she wanted to kill me. I don't know where you got that from." Leo said.
"You hurt her! She was on the verge of crying! You should apologize." I say to him. Reyna seemed to snap out of it.
"How did you know." Reyna said. Then she scowled and said in a deadly serious voice
"How did you know?!"
"Know what?" I reply, slightly scared.
"How did you know that I was actually hurt on the inside by leo's comment?" She said grabbing me by my vest.
"Reyna, let's calm down." Calypso said.
"Wait, that comment actually hurt your feelings?" Leo said surprised.
"Revealing someone's terrible love life? Who's feelings wouldn't that hurt?" Reyna said angrily. She turns to me again and pulls my vest.
"Please don't hurt me. I'm so sorry." I say
"You seem sincere but what's so bad about hugging me?" Reyna says.
"Oh … no no no … it's not bad … it's awesome .. er… you're awesome …. you're really pretty. I ..um.." Leo and Calypso were laughing and Reyna was blushing and trying hard not to laugh.
"And you are messing with me. That's just great." I say. I go into a string of curses in Aztecan from my first language.
"Okay, so how did you know how I was feeling anyways and what was that language?" Reyna says with a serious face now.
"My mom thinks its because of my heritage. You see my aztecan ancestor or my great times ten grandfather sitting bull was really good at reading the emotions of their enemies and so no matter how much you train to hide your emotions; we would know your true feelings. So he passed down the ability. That Language was Aztecan.
"Wait your grandfathers name is sitting bull." Leo says then bursts out laughing.
"Yeah, might as well laugh at me too. Sitting bull is my last name. "
"Sorry about him." Calypso says
"Ah let him laugh it out; at least I don't look like an elf who is too far south." I start laughing too.
"Okay let's calm down now. We know your last name but what about your first?" Reyna says.
"Oh sorry, my name is stephen, Stephen "Hawk Feather" Sittingbull." I say as I step forward to shake Reyna's hand but I trip on my foot and we fall down. I look up to the sky and say,
"Really? I just had to trip!" I stand up and give Reyna a hand up. "I'm sorry. I'm so stupid and clumsy. I really need some training of the mind and not being clumsy."
"Frank should take that class too." Reyna says and leo starts laughing.
"Who's Frank?" I ask
"A friend of ours. So what brings you here. You are obviously a demigod if you found your way here." Leo says.
"Demigod? Like from Greek and Roman myth?"
"Yeah exactly." Reyna says.
"Callie here used to be an immortal goddess until she decided to become mortal." Leo says
"You know, I don't find it surprising that you used to be a goddess. You have a strong Aura of power." I say. I turn to her and ask, "I'm guessing you are the Calypso from myth. I'm also guessing that you gave up your immortality to gain freedom?"
"Yes but I also did it to be with Leo." She said blushing.
"Yeah, she originally hated me but she eventually became the number one fan of team leo." Leo said with a crazy grin. Calypso punched him.
"Ow Sunshine that hurt." he complained.
"Well you deserved it." Calypso says.
"Stay on task lovebirds. Back to the topic. How did you find your way here?" Reyna asks.
"Oh my dad left me a note saying to seek out a friend of his working for the Delphi Strawberry Service." I say.
"Oh I see your dad must be your godly parent and he was talking about Chiron." Reyna says.
"Wait, you mean that friend dad was talking about was The Chiron?!"
"Yup, Are you ready to meet Chiron, figure out who your dad is and discover yourself?" Leo says.
"In a large nutshell per say." Calypso says. I think for a while. Dad said my path would be dangerous but I really wanted to figure out who my dad was and these people seemed like the type of friends that I wanted.
"Okay, I want to go see chiron." I say.
"Great! let's hope you don't get eaten in the first hour!" Leo says and runs ahead grabbing Calypso by the hand.
"Wait. What!?" I yell.
"Don't worry. I'm ninety percent sure that you won't get eaten." Reyna says. "Lets go slowpoke!"
Reyna says walking away.
"Coming! I yell as I fast walk up to Reyna. I either was about to find a long lost home or, I was about to become lunch for something.
I hope you all liked the first chapter. I am hoping to make this adventure a good, long one. So remember to please comment. I need inspiration as much as the next guy so please tell me what you think and let your creativity fly.
