To Kill a Demigod

* Prologue*

"Lemme kill the boy!" cried a booming voice. A Manticore and a Laistrygonian giant chased after a black haired teen holding an infant.

"Why did she abandon the baby to me?" Triton asked himself as he ran from his enemy. The Laistrygonian through his bronze ball and Triton barely side stepped it. Please Athena, help me! prayed Triton. So she did.

Wolves leaped from the woods followed by the Hunters of Artemis. The Manticore swung its tail and spikes took out most of the left wing of the Hunters.

"Lady Artemis, we call for you assistance!" roared Thailia , throwing an arrow into the night sky. The arrow shimmered as flecks of gold and burst into a beam of light.

From the beam, appeared a woman with auburn hair and shiny amber eyes. She wielded a silver bow.

"Banish you beasts or I'll send you to Tartarus!" roared Artemis, lifting her bow to the Manticore. The 'beast' ran away with it's tail in-between it's legs.

The Laistrygonian didn't give in too easily and threw the bronze ball in his hands. Artemis shot at the ball. The arrow shot the ball back at the giant. Soon, it was dust and smoke.

"I'll keep that baby for you: said Artemis, taking the little baby boy into her arms. This is where my story begins.

I didn't know my care-taker was Artemis. She was called Jamie by me. The first of my story was when I turned five. Jamie was taking me to day-care. That's when the monster Kampê attacked me.

We strolled through the streets of New York City, as I said, going to Day-Care. A dragon woman with talons jumped from an alley. I grabbed Jaime's arm.

"So, you're the legendary child" said Kampê, approaching me. Jamie then landed a punch on its nose. It's fangs jeered as Jamie gripped it's neck. "He is destined to die!" protested Kampê, nearly choking to death.

"Not on my watch" replied Jamie, blowing Kampê to Tartarus. "Sorry dear, you can't go to day-care today"

"Why?" I whaled, wanting to run to Day-Care.

(As you should've noticed, this chapter is just incidence of my childhood.)

Well, we had peace for a grand total of two years. I was seven. Agruis and Orieus attacked my first grade class.

I sat as our teacher taught us 4+4. Then, the Twin Bear Brothers jumped through a window. They grabbed my neck and slung me into a wall. Seriously, where was the teacher? Agrius clawed at my face as Orieus stifled my scream.

That's when Jamie walked in. She quickly ended the bears with an arrow and dragged me out.

When I turned ten is when I learned the truth. I walked into the Dinning Room To see Jamie crying.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I must leave back to Mount Olympus! T-they say you must go to Camp!" chocked Jamie in-between sobs.

"Olympus? Like the myths you told me as I child?" I asked her.

"Yes. Remember Artemis—from the stories?" Jamie asked hopeful.

"Of course!" I replied. "I really wish she was the lord of the gods though…"

"Thank you. To tell you the truth…I am her. You are a Demigod, Jason!" she said, grabbing my shoulders and dragging me out of the door.

"But you swore never to have children!" I exclaimed.

"Yes, I did swear. That doesn't mean Triton did" stated Artemis, looking into my sea green eyes.

"M-my father's Triton?" I started.

"Yes, now we must keep moving. Things to avoid!" said Artemis, pushing me further down the streets.

"Artemis-" I started.

"Sh! Call me by Jamie in the Mortal world!" snapped Artemis.

"—why are we in such a rush?" I asked.

"Monsters" she said simply.

We didn't run into any until Thailia's Pine.

Kampê sat, waiting for our arrival. Ares kids charged up in battle armor.

Artemis handed me a pocket knife. I opened it to a full length sword. I charged into the heart of the battle.

Kampê's talons sliced my cheek. I hit the ground, staning it with the slow trickle of my blood coming from my cheek. A muscular Ares soldier helps me up and puts me back into the battle.

"BECK! LEFT WING!" roared an Ares soldier. Where was Artemis when I needed her? She always said on day I'd fight my own battles. Is this what she meant?

A bit chunky, but muscular, attacks boy Kampê from the left. Even his strength was over-powered.

Soon, the whole troop of Ares soldiers were wounded or admitting this was a losing fight.

Artemis finally decided to join the battle. She grew twenty foot tall and landed an arrow in the monster. She smiled at my bravery as we entered, my hand entwined with a goddess'.
