AN:
This is my first story on FanFiction and while I would like reviews and constructive criticism on this I ask that nobody flame me as it really serves no purpose.

I in no way own any of the Percy Jackson and The Olympians Characters or storyline
He Who Is Bathed In Blood
It was in the darkness of night whence we come upon a figure crouching in the shadows of a tree at the edge of a clearing. The figure undoubtedly male based upon the broad shoulders and large physique seemed to be crouched over the body of a large animal.
Behind the man were piles of a golden dust strewn randomly around the clearing slowly disappearing into the wind never to be found again. The man groaned suddenly breaking the unnatural silence of the forest around him.
Almost immediately after the man's groan the large animal's body burst into more golden dust covering the man's arms where he was touching the beast preventing it from standing and running away from him.
The man stood from his position crouched on the ground. He turned away from the pile of dust behind him and licked his lips gathering the liquid on his lips before swallowing it.
He looked up towards the everlasting sky. He stared at the moon illuminating the remains of the other beasts. "The Lady shines brightly tonight." He muttered to himself in a soft voice.
The man looked away from the sky and seemed to ponder something to himself for a brief moment. After he was done pondering to himself he began walking out of the shadows and towards the northern end of the clearing.
As he stepped from the shadows the distinctive characteristics of his clothing and features were finally revealed. The man, boy more appropriately, had a head of hair colored like the night sky. His eyes on the other hand shone with the color of an ethereal white. His skin contrasting his hair was an unnaturally pale color.
The man was wearing several noticeable articles of clothing. Over his torso he wore a gray shirt with several tears in it. Covering his shirt he appeared to have several different plates of metal covering his chest, back, shoulders, and arms. He was also wearing black pants over his legs with metal plates covering his knees. On his hands he wore black finger less gloves. Covering his feet were a pair of thick black boots with mud caked onto the sides. To top his clothing off he wore a black cloak over his shoulders.
His clothing combined with his complexion made the man appear to have been hidden from the sun for years in only one outfit.
The man continued his northern walk out of the clearing and into the forest following an unknown path. The man continued on his path for hours. During this time not once did the man shift his gaze from anywhere but forward towards the unknown destination.
After this time the man came upon a break in the forest. He paused and looked towards the solid surface running straight through the forest. He stood there for several minutes trying to decide what exactly this surface was when two bright lights turned towards him. The man flinched and shielded his eyes before retreating back into the forest.
As the lights approached, the man began to hear a dull roar. He looked around trying to find the source of the sound as it grew louder. In his search the lights were forgotten. This was until the roar passed several feet away from him causing him to turn around and getting into a fighting stance. The man looked towards the unknown surface as a bright red object went over it. The lights appeared to come from the front of the object.
The man jumped onto the surface of the road and looked to where the object had went. He caught a small glimpse of red lights on the backside of the object before it passed a corner and disappeared from sight.
The man stood staring at the place where the object disappeared to for several minutes before sighing and continuing on his path north. The man during his journey came upon several more of the unknown surfaces causing breaks in the forest but chose to ignore them as they appeared to cause no harm to him.
The man walked for several hours after the encounter with the foreign object. After this time the man saw lights appearing ahead of him reaching hundreds of feet in the air. The man was astonished by the sight wondering what could possibly be causing them. He chose after a short time to continue on his path which coincided with the lights that had appeared.
The path after just a short while later finally came to an end as the man finally stepped out of the forest only to come to an astonishing sight. The man was amazed to see lights of all colours on building made of all kinds of different materials. After looking at the tall building the man shifted his gaze more towards the ground and was once again amazed to see metal objects in all different kinds of colors on many paths of the unknown surface.
The man groaned before muttering to himself quietly, "Oh Perseus, what have you gotten yourself into."
The man now known to be named Perseus sat down before sighing and resting his head on his knees. He groaned into his knees before falling onto his back and staring towards the sky.
Perseus started shaking his fist towards the sky for a few moments before letting it fall to the ground. "This is what I deserve for taking such a long rest." He spoke to himself.
It had been a long time since this man Perseus disappeared from the world. Now he decided, he would need to set out to discover how long it had been since his disappearance. He would do such a thing the moment he finished processing the sights, sounds, and smells around him.
