a/n- ok so this is my second story so far and I hope it only gets better as we go and I hope you guys enjoy it. I saw a lot of stories going around that seemed popular, and like good ideas so then I got to thinking what if I combine them all to get one epic story, well at least that's how I hope it turns out.
Disclaimer: I own nothing
This starts with the final battle against Gaea and the Giants in the HOO series.
Outside(no one) pov
Metal on metal. Weapon to weapon. Gods to Giants. Demigods, bloodshed, decisions, and death. One battle. Supposedly the final battle of the war. War, the merciless, the gruesome, the cost and act to finding peace.
The air, dense, fogged, and blackened by the scene burning around the city. Red-hot flames licked the sides of buildings, the plants and even the inert bodies sprawled across the battlegrounds.
Hearing bombarded by various, shouts and howls of pain.
This scene started it all. Well maybe not started. Relate it to the action of falling dominoes. Before there can be action, there are plans made as all the pieces are put into place. That had already been completed. This battle was simply the first domino, the domino that is always mistaken for the start of the chain reaction, which is really the planning. Some would say this battle is the climax, the turning point. That leaves only one concern; for good or worse?
Lets fast-forward now, about 45 years.
The once beautiful city (Athens or Rome, wherever the hoo battle is supposed to end) lay in ruins. Once strong, solid buildings, now, nothing more than dust in the wind. New life grows; it takes over the city as vines creep farther every day. They snake around whatever is left of the streets, once long ago crowded by people, even more recently crowded with the act of war. Beneath the vines lay the bones of the warriors, the heroes of both sides 'good' and 'bad.'
The city had remained vacant for years; mortals were terrified to go there as they began to form myths just like that of the Bermuda triangle. Mortals who dared enter the city had immediately returned to their home, claiming to have seen the remains of a great battle. However, the stubborn nature of the human prevents them from believing this, that such a large battle could have gone completely unnoticed. Instead of facing the truth of the battle, they formed reasons, theories, to explain the weather events that had occurred at the time of the war, starting at the event of Zeus' lost thunderbolt.
The gods and demigods had other reasons. The depression it brought, of so many losses. The loss of lives, of heroes, of the hero of Olympus. It was the lasting memory of when the Gods failed in battle.
Within this city, a cool crisp wind blows sharply against its surroundings. It pushes the withered leaves along the ground and causes the bare trees to sway. Clouds so grey, they could almost be black filled every corner of the sky. In the cities' center stand two cloaked figures standing face to face, twenty feet apart. The figure to the left wore an onyx black cloak, an ethereal aura surrounded him, and it presented power, fear, and dominance. The other figure, hidden beneath a cloak of crimson, as if it was dipped in a river of blood and the edges singed from the power of his opponent.
Hatred burned off the both of them as they stared each other down waiting for the other to move. In almost perfect synchronization, they both removed their hoods. Beneath the crimson cloak stood a man of his early forties, he had fairly short black hair and eyes of blood that seemed to radiate his boiling hatred towards his opponent. Across from him stood a young man, no older than nineteen. Unruly, raven black hair fell over his face, just barely covering his eyes. His eyes a sea green so radiant they almost seemed as poison, fury evident, and thirst for revenge evident in his eyes. Behind the fury, there was pain, pain that pushed him forward making the first move. His move for revenge.
a/n- btw my first chapters are always short and they get longer as I go. So let me know what you think please and if I get enough reviews, I will continue. I have given you the beginning and the end so the next chapter will be back to the beginning at the end of the Heroes of Olympus and I will fill in the middle.
So I know not much happened but it's really just a big set up for this idea that I got from various other ideas. If you want the action of the next chapter all you have to do is push the magic review button an let me know ;)
