Hello everyone, hope you guys like my new series. Please comment on how you think of it thus far and I will try to update this story as much as I can.

Intro

This is my story of how I died and how I became the new protector of earth. I took the position from my father. You may know him. His song and story has ended. 'Till death we part by either friend or foe…'

Chapter 1

I woke up in a cold sweat. I looked around and saw the same old stuff in my room (by the way I'm in Ancient Greece in who knows what time period, It's part where Rome is barely starting to fight). It was filled with some weapons. It was wooden room and my roommate Horus was snoring.

He's a '5 "6 man with no beard and average muscles. He had light brown curly hair (Before you ask I'm a 14 and yeas considered a man back then. I was '5 "1 and had black longish hair and hazel eyes.).

I looked out the window and saw that it was almost dawn. I knew it was only few minutes until the Caption will show up for wake up call. Before you make assumptions I'm in the Greek army under King Minas.

I got up and walked over to Horus' bed and tried to wake him up. He turned and said in a gruff voice "Just give me until dawn Laruen."

"It almost dawn and remember what General said?"

"Alright I'm up" he gets up and starts to do his morning exercises which included push-ups and bench pressing his bed. I went back to mine and read a news scroll that's talking about how there's these things called planets in the sky.

Horus looked over to me and says "You're not reading that nonsense are you?"

"Yes I am, and it's not nonsense."

"They're just a bunch of people that don't believe in any of the gods."

"Well I'm starting to believe them."

"Well don't, it's a bunch of lies. There can't be things other than humans, gods and monsters." He said while getting ready to bench-press his bed.

I didn't respond back because I didn't know to believe him or not. It's strange but for the past few weeks I've been having dreams telling me to climb to the top of Mt. Olympus and I've also been hearing faint sounds of drumming.

I was going to read on when the door opened forcefully. I quickly put it back under my bed. Horus and I saw that it was the general and his assistant Icarus. Horus and I then jump into a salute stance. When the sounds of Horus' bed crashing down were over he told us that it was not necessary.

He was a '6 "7 old man with enough muscle to keep him up and fight. He had short brown hair with lines of grey and had a cane with him. As for his assistant; he was about close to 6 feet and he had blond hair in a short cut manner and they were both were wearing some leather armor while me and Horus were wearing linen clothing.

"Horus I need you to head for the medics tent to check on things and Laruen I need you go scout a head to see if the those filthy Romans have found our location."

I forgot to mention that were waiting to fight the Romans, but it's a small fight though. We saluted him again before me and Horus started to change into our armor. When we were both finished we wished each other good luck.

That's when I was almost about to walk out the door I remembered my good luck charm. I ran back to get a small iron looking thing. I guessed it was some sort of pendant.

When I walked out I headed for the cooking area to grab a snack before breakfast. The cooking area is just a big fire with little smoke that the chief cooks the meat and some bread. When I got there his back was turned from the fresh rolls. I could smell them from over a mile. I had to hand it to him. For a smelly guy he really can make good bread. I was able to sneak a roll from him and started out towards the east woods.

I was running/ jogging for probably half an hour. Right before I was about to head back I started to hear some footsteps. I hid behind a bush and waited to see what it was. It was like two Roman soldiers.

I couldn't tell their faces because their helmets were blocking their faces except for their eyes. One had blue eyes while the other had brown eyes. It sounded like they were having an argument.

The one with blue eyes said angrily while pointing his mace at him "Bruce how could you get us this far from the group!?"

Bruce then said "Well how was I to know if there was a Greek hiding in those bushes back there!" while pointing his dagger towards the east.

"Well there weren't and now were going to be late to the ambush at the Greeks camp."

I almost gasped at what the just said. I waited until those two a good few feet away and started to sprint back to camp.

When I was a few feet before making to the camp I saw that most of the tents were on fire. There were loads of weaken comrades and dead enemies, but there starting to outnumber us.

I ran towards the back where the medics tent to find Horus. When I got there I asked the dock if he seen him. He said that "he's probably out there fighting" while mending a soldier. I grabbed one of the solders bow a quiver full of arrows and his dagger. I had to make it in time to make sure Horus wasn't dead.

When I got to the battle I assisted a few soldiers by shooting some enemy soldiers. Once I got closer I saw Horus thrashing his way through the enemies. I was amazed of how much he was able to handle. I then saw some sneaking his way towards his back. I quickly shoot an arrow. I was able pierce through his helmet. Horus turned to see what I did and he gave me thumbs up. I gave one back and ran towards him to help.

When I got to him he said slyly "Finally you showed up."

"I was scouting ahead"

"Good job you did on warning us." He said with a smile. It was his way of a joke.

He stood back to back slashing at enemies. We were doing well until I saw an opportunity to backstab and enemy archer. I ran at him and got my target. I was about to head back until I felt a sharp pain in my back and stomach. I looked down and saw a tip of a sword. I screamed in pain and saw the enemy. It was Bruce.

Horus heard my scream and surprised Bruce. Horus grabbed his head and smashed it into the ground. There he laid dead and soon I would join him. Horus picked me up and headed for the medics tent while pulling the sward out. When we were half way I told him to stop.

He stopped and "Laruen, we need to get you to the medic."

"No old friend," I said placing a hand on his shoulder "my time has come, it's time for me to go to Elysian."

"No, I'm letting you die!"

"Horus, I never asked you to do anything for me but now you must obey."

"Fine," he said while putting me down on the ground. "May you end in Elysian and I pray Charon lets you on the fiery." He ran back to the battle and I could have sworn he was crying on the way back.

When I was awaiting for my time to end I started to hear whispering and the sound of drums. I looked around but there weren't any drums. I reached into my armor and toke out my pendant. I then realized the sounds of drums and whispers were coming from it. I opened it without thinking and saw golden wisps and small arrows in the pendant. I breathed it in and my vision went white.

I started to remember my father and my past. I remembered so many faces and amazing things, but also so many evil and scary things. It was all just flashing of images and then it stop on my father.

He had longish ginger hair. He had no scares of any kind on his face. I couldn't tell his eye color because it kept changing. He was wearing a suit that was blue with a green tie. He had dress slacks and some wired shoes.

He looked into my eyes and said emotionally "Go up Mt. Olympus to find it."

After his words my vision came back and I was back on the ground in my armor. I look down and saw that the hole in my stomach was gone. I started to hear drums again and heard it coming from my chest. I placed a hand on my right side of my chest and felt another heart. I looked into a clear puddle of my blood and saw that I still had my face. I got up and started to head off towards the north until I remembered the battle going on.

I looked at the battle and went on instincts. I kept walking forward dogging every arrow and slash that came before me. I knew I couldn't stop until I make it to the enemy general. I was half way to him. He basically had the same uniform of armor like all the other Romans except that his feather thing on his helmet was yellow. I kept walking towards with arrows on my left arm and some cuts that quickly healed. When I was a few feet from him I yelled "General of the Romans! I seek your attention as well as your solders!"

Once I finished everyone stopped what they were doing. I then cleared my throat and said "You must leave now or you will regret it."

This is when he started to laugh at my threat. I waited for a moment until he was finished. Before I was able to say anything he said "Now why should I listen to an enemy scout?"

"Because you're not dealing with any scout. Think about it, I walked the way here from one side of the battle field to another. Your solders couldn't even touch me. Even for the ones that did, did not harm me. Do I look like I have any injury's beside these arrows." I said while pulling them out without making a sign of pain.

"I...I..." said the enemy general. You could really tell if he was either scared of confused.

"Now let me tell you one more thing," I said while slowly walking towards. "Your options are to stay and deal with me or run away."

"Run?" He said a bit confused as if he never heard that word.

"In other words retreat. You don't want to deal with me. I will kill every one last man you control. You'll be the last to go; you will die not being a hero and won't make it to Elysian but to the fields of punishment. So I will tell you again," I was able to get close enough to him to whisper this last word "Run."

When I backed up I looked behind me and saw all the enemy soldiers that were there started to run towards the east. I looked back at the general. He had a scared expression on his face, so to make him retreat I yelled "Run!"

After that he started to back up and started to run back to his soldiers. Before I was able to turn around I was picked up by Horus and he gave me a deadly man hug. When he finally let go he said "That was amazing!"

The rest of my comrades then came and started to cheer my name. After about a moment of celebrating our General came and said "Well done Laruen, I would have never thought a scout like you would do something this impressing."

"Thanks, I think"

That's when Icarus started to say "You should be honored you ungrateful little-"

"Shut up you mouse." Said a comrade

Surprisingly the comment worked. We all headed to the cooking area to have breakfast when the Horus pulled me away and asked me about my hole that was supposed to be in my stomach. I told him that I was probably blessed by Apollo.
