Prologue
One of the older archers stepped forward with her bow drawn. She was tall and graceful
with coppery colored skin. Unlike the other girls, she had a silver circlet braided into the top
of her long dark hair, so she looked like some kind of Persian princess. "Permission to ki..." was all she could say, as she was rudely cut off by an deafening roar of a motorbike.
The hunt just stopped and watched, thinking that this couldn't become any crazier, as a male riding a black motorbike shot forward at the cliff the manticore was at, when they were proved wrong ,as the biker flew off the motorbike, which shot forward at the manticore currently holding two unknown demigods and a daughter of Athena.
However the audience was forced to reconsider their earlier assumption as the biker, who was supposedly thrown off his bike rolled and before anyone could blink had a bow, already notched with an arrow, aimed at the manticore while another arrow was halfway to the said monster.
====0000====
His aim proved true, as the arrow pierced the manticore on his shoulder, forcing the monster to drop the three demigods.
The manticore, who kept an menacing and an untouchable aura up until now, suddenly let out a high pitched scream of absolute terror. "No! Not you...Anyone but you."
However his screams were cut short as the notched arrow embedded itself on the heart of the beast, followed by shots to his neck and between his eyes, before there was nothing left but the unnaturally large pile of golden dust.
====0000====
The Greek goddess of the moon, who was a part of the captivated audience suddenly snapped into her previous state of attention as the two unknown demigods, a boy and a girl who seemed to be siblings, vanished into a cold wind, encased in a dark sphere, seemingly made out of thick shadows after the unknown biker gave them a black pearl each, which they crushed under their feet.
The biker tried to do the same but his pearl was flung off the cliff by an arrow of the said goddess.
She felt confused and slightly angry as she realized she failed in her mission of retrieving the unknown demigods and bringing them to her father. However she suddenly became tense at seeing SPQR carved into the skin of the demigod's inner arm. She was then consumed by utter fury at seeing her symbol.
"Hunters, attack." she snarled, some of the more observant hunters who noticed the same thing as their mistress sprang into action, with bloodlust evident in their eyes. They were quickly followed by the rest of the hunters except the one with the silver circlet as they were informed of their mistress' observation through their mind by her.
====0000====
Having two dozens of elite man hating hunters run at you generated a very unique blend of fear and pride, while the cause for the fear may be obvious the pride was due to the mighty accomplishment of riling up an man hating group of girls out for your blood and surviving beyond a few seconds.
However when the hunters were within five feet of him Percy let himself display a small mocking smirk, knowing they were nowhere around his caliber. The only two who were, happened to be the only two that didn't attack him, namely lady Artemis and Zoe Nightshade, at least according to his mentor, patron, pseudo sister and best friend .
The first girl, a daughter of Ares according to her direct and powerful attacking pattern, was easy to dispatch by a whack on her head using the end of his bow, fortunately to him, she went down taking another down with her due to her heavier figure.
Twenty One to go.
Percy continued a routine of firing blunt arrows, hitting by the end of his bow and dodging, not being more than an inch away from the incoming attack but never even getting a scratch.
====0000====
The goddess of archery was shocked would be an underestimation. She watched as the unidentified male dispatch her hunters as if they were nothing but straw dummies.
His movements were fluid yet strong. Each and every movement he did served a purpose either defensively or as an offensive move, the way he used his bow as a close combat weapon reminded her of Diana; her Roman counterpart ,who she had riding the moon-chariot for the past few hundred years; ever since the fall of the Roman empire. She felt envy at his technique as even she couldn't use archery in close combat that well.
If she ever had a son, not that she ever will, she thought he would be worthy ... at least in the aspect of archery. The thought caused her rage to skyrocket , how dare the male pretend to be her child by baring her mark on his wrist, implying that she broke her sacred oath.
The last hunter to charge him fell unconscious ad he shot a blunt tipped arrow at her forehead almost point blank, Futher angering her.
She stepped forward along with her oldest friend, and knowing this was not the everyday spar, attacked together.
However she abruptly stopped seeing the weapons he held as he dropped the bow and drew two hunting daggers.
One was one and three- quarter foot and pitch black, seemingly absorbing all the light around it. The metal was Stygian steel; the preferred kind for the children of Hades as only they could wield them. It confirmed her suspicion that he was more than an everyday demigod.
The next one was the hunting dagger which caused her to stop dead in her tracks. The silver beautifully engraved daggers made of Olympian silver with a length of one and half feet. It was one of Diana's two daggers and Diana, which she never ever let anyone, even her own Greek counterpart touch them.
The boy taking advantage of the shocked state of the duo, hit Zoe on her temple with his Stygian steel dagger, rendering her unconscious.
He then engaged an enraged godly daughter of Zeus, who was surprised that the male was still facing her attacks and was alive after five minutes of exchanging blows.
====0000====
Perseus was wholly concentrated in the battle he was currently at, though Artemis was not as skilled as her Roman counterpart she was a very formidable opponent.
Seeing the vague similarities in fighting styles between the two aspects, Percy abruptly threw the Stygian steel dagger at Artemis in chest level forcing her to duck then slashed upward using the Imperial gold gladius; which morphed from the plain looking golden ring that was around his middle finger of the left hand.
However the fatal attack did not land upon the man hating goddess as Percy , who wasn't paying attention to his surroundings was rendered unconscious by a vicious knife hilt to his head.
Shit! I forgot to knock that girl under the weight of the fat one off was the last thought Perseus had as the darkness consumed him.
