The Beginning
For hundreds of years men have killed each other for trivial things. Wealth, women, power, and other meaningless things. As the years passed these humans started to believe in divine beings to explain their irrational behavior.
For example war, for the Greeks war was caused by the God Ares son of the Greek King of Gods Zeus and his wife wife Queen Hera. When there was an eclipse it meant that Ra the Egyptian God of the sun was defeated on his way to take the sun over the sky.
Through the years these myths were said more and more until they became a reality. Once a pantheon was made said gods from that pantheon started to exist. Humans were made to revere and respect these gods and so these gods became rulers of their own little world.
No one dared to defy the word of the gods, their power was so mighty they could shake the earth, make snakes devour your soul, send you to a pit that houses thousands of monsters.
Only a selected few defied the gods, these people went on to kill gods earning them the name God Slayers. These people often did favors for gods or do something for them if they wanted something in return. There was one man that stood above the rest. His power and humility were known through all pantheons. He was mercilous towards many but could be just as kind. He was the first to group these people together and to lead them into a better tomorrow
? POV
Year: 2016
Location: Kodiak Island, Alaska
It's an early December morning and the cold is not felt on my bare skin. The carbon dioxide my lungs release can be seen in the air. The water in the buckets around me are frozen to the point you would have to use a pickaxe to break it.
"Three hundred and one, t-three hundred and two... Fudge! Come on! Move body! move!" The sweat on my body feels hot instead of cold for some reason. The push ups I'm doing seem to diminish by the hour. "Fuck! T-thr-three hundred and eighty." The need to get stronger, faster, smarter, is nor for some personal gain but to protect my conmrades.
Twigs snap behind me but I don't move from my position. "Boss." A thick voice with a slight accent says.
I stop for a moment. "What? You know not to disturb me when I'm training."
"Sorry, we just got requested for a mission sir."
I push my arms higher and I lift my legs then I move my legs up so I get into a handstand. My body is on fire it keeps on protesting for me to stop but I ignore the pain. "Who was it requested by?"
"Anubis" The voice says nothing else.
"You can go I'll be there in a bit."
The person talking to me turns around and walks away.
I spend another half an hour working out, doing various things like swimming for two miles and doing three hundred sit ups.
I take three of the buckets that I had in the clearing I was working out in and unfreeze the water inside them. Dumping the water all over my body I reenergize and refuel my body. Putting my shirt back on I start to walk back to my house.
The forest is eerily quiet, I can only hear the crunching of the snow under my feet. Suddenly I hear a low growl to my right. A huge grin forms on my face, and I keep on walking. After a few feet I hear another growl this one lower and angrier. The sound come comes from my left. They actually think they can ambush me.
A white paw comes put of nowhere and tries to slice off my face. I narrowly shift my head back so the paw won't scar me for life. in the corner of my eye I see a huge black figure moving at impressive speeds at me. I roll to my right effectively crashing into a tree before the pair of huge jaws almost clamp down on my head. Swiftly jumping to the side and into a roll I dodge a white paw. The force of the swipe is so great it shreds the tree into pieces. The tree falls down in a monstrous thud.
"That was pretty good but you got to do better than that if you even want to put so much as a scratch on my body!" I yell out towards the forest around me.
I hear the two same growls again, two sillouetes walk out of the forest. The slightly smaller one is a 5 foot tall silver wolf with piercing yellow eyes. The second on is a 5 foot 2 tall black wolf with slitted crimson eyes, the wolf also has two tails instead of one.
You seem to underestimate us Novax. A feminine voice coming from the wolf says out loud or maybe in my head since I can't tell the difference.
Aye, for doing so I'm going to bite one of your arms off. The male snarky voice of the black wolf says out loud.
"Hah! You guys haven't been able to cut me in over a millennium do you really expect me to believe you will this time?"
The silver wolf turns around to look at the black wolf. Lets take him down Urbarra. The black wolf nods and says, don't hold back Katiyanna or he'll beat our asses. Katiyanna growls at him and he gives her a Wolfy grin.
I walk to the middle of the small clearing they so unintentionally attacked me in. They start to circle me slowly trying to find a weak spot. I carck my buckles and get into a crouching position. Katiyanna lunges at me trying to bite my leg. I knee her on the nose, I try to kick her but I'm knocked down by Urbarra.
We roll on the ground trying to gain an advantage on one or the other. I ouch him off me in mid roll making him crash into a tree. He shakes off the hit and growls at me. I'm going to get you for that you asshole.
I smirk and I give him the hand gesture for 'bring it on.' He runs at me and jumps at me with his jaw gaping open. I tilt my body to the right dodging him, grabbing his tail I start to spin him. Katiyanna is running towards us to help him. When she's close enough I throw Urbarra straight at her making them hit head first and tumble to the ground.
They shakily get up and they start to do short labored breaths. "Come on guys just give up. I have to get to HQ for the mission."
We are honorable wolves we never give up. Urbarra says talking for the both of them.
I sigh loudly and run my fingers through my hair. "OK then I guess you leave me no choice. Disappearing and reappearing in front of them I start to flare my aura. The aura that comes out of my body has been described as heveanly, luminescent, godly, or omnipotent. An array of thousands of color seem to flow out of my body. The runes on the surface of my skin light up with neon colors. And the seals start to capture the aura being let out.
Snow starts to melt around me, and the ground shakes. The air starts to get denser making it harder to breath. My aura starts to suffocate and push the wolves towards the ground. My mere presence seems to stop them from even speaking
Alright we give, just stop before you kill me and Katiyanna.
That mere statment makes me stop flaring my aura. The ground stops shaking and everything goes back to the way it is.
Before I apologize for being too rough on them Urbarra and Katiyanna collapse. I sigh exaspertly and slightly tug my hair. " I went a little bit to far." Snapping my fingers they disappear in a white dust, I teleported them to my HQ so they could get some rest.
"Time to see what Anubis wants. He is probably going to make me do it seeing as he came all the way here just for a mission."
Starting again to walk through the tightly packet forest to my destination I start to whistle a random tune. After a good half hour walking I come up to a twenty foot wooden door connecting to an equally as large wall going as far as the eye can see.
A part of the wall opens up and a handprint scanner, eye scanner, and voice scanner come out from it. "State identification." A woman robotic voice says.
"Novax, Primeval Division, Zero."
"Retinal identification."
I walk up to the eye scanner and put my right eye in front of it. It emits a small laser that scans my whole eye before disappering.
"Fingerprint identification."
Putting my hand on the scanner I groan loudly at how boring this was. "Who came up with this whole stupid security detail? Oh wait... I think that was me."
The scanner gives out a little ding signaling its end. "Access Granted." The voice says before the door starts to open. The giant wooden door parts through the middle and starts to fold into the wall sideways. Like how you fold one of those Chinese fans.
Onece the door opens I walk in into a different universe, well not really. One the other side of the wall the ground looks completely different. There is grass as far as you can see, there are buidings to the far left and far right of you. At least a mile away you can see a giant rectangular shaped building. There are fountains and small streams with bridges going over them. Stone paths connect one building to another.
I take a few seconds to take in the sight that never seems to amaze me. Looking at the giant building right in the middle of everything I start to eslk towards it. The building is a gray 25 story rectangular metal box with a lot of windows on it.
The walk to the huge building which is called Zeta is as boring and annoying as usual. The people just saluted me or gave me slight bows.
Even though I've told most of them not to do it they insist on doing all of that formal stuff. When I'm not on duty anybody can just talk to me how ever they want to, since I act really different during work.
I walk through the sliding doors of Zeta and walk up to the receptionist on the front desk in the middle of the room. "Do I have any messages Shelly?" Shelly doesn't even look up before she says, "no, you only have that meeting to discuss a mission with Anubis. He's been waiting for you for half an hour and asked for your whereabouts continuously."
Shelly is a light brown haired, hazel greened eyed, olive skinned, professionaly dressed, curvy beauty. Though she is quite lazy when it comes to her job. "Damn it. Can't gods ever be patient?"
Shelly scoffs and pushes her glasses up. I walk away from the reception desk and walk into an elevator. Pushing the button for the sixth floor I enjoy the really good elevator music. "Drop the bass cannon kick it!" I say out loud copying the songs vocals.
A ding signals the stop on my designated floor. The hallway on floor has many doors because it's the conference room. I walk up to the third door on my right and walk in.
"Nice of you to drop by." A deep voice says to me.
"Nice to see you to Anubis."
Anubis looks just like in the old days which is no surprise because he's a god. His jackel head is unchanged which is still weird to look at and his white tunic and brown sandals and some gold cuffs on his wrists.
"I need you to do a mission for me."
Slightly irritated by his bluntness I look at him seriously. "Why me specifically?
I can see him put on a thinking face if that's even possible trying to come up with a lie. " Some spirits excaped from my realm and I need you to capture them."
"What's so special about these spirits?'
"They are the spirits of dead pharaohs." He says in a very serious tone.
I think about for a second and say, "ok, I'll do it but how do I catch them?.
He puts his hand out and black mist starts to come out of his body and form a shape. After a few seconds a black jar with gold heiroglyphics on it. "Open the jar when you are close to them and the jar will do the rest. But you can't injure these spirits because they are fragile. You are the only one skilled one and the one I trust the most to accomplish this mission."
"What type of payment will you give me?"
"One hundred pounds in gold and a divine staff."
"Consider your mission done Anubis. Oh and next time warn me ahead of time when you need a personal mission like this OK?" I tell him in a tone that leaves no room for argument.
He nods his head at me and put the jar on the wooden conference table next to him. He then dissapears in a black mist leaving me alone to my thoughts.
Incompotent gods can never do anything. One of these days there won't be any more mortals to help them and they won't be able to function without them.
I teleport to the front of my house which is located on the far notheast side of Kodiak Island. Walking to my house I quickly make my way towards my living room. Nothing special about it though, its like anybody else's. A fireplace, couches, TV, a small glass table for when you want to sit in the living room and eat something while watching TV.
I walk up to a painting that's on the same wall as the fireplace but is above it. Activating an omega symbol that's imbedded on the wall and the painting the walls start to shift. The fireplace parts down the middle and it opens. The opening reveals some stairs going down towards my weapons room.
I walk down the stairs and end in front of a metal door. Putting my hands on it transfer some power into it, a second later the door shakes and opens. Once inside I start to choose what I need for the mission.
Grabbing a silver ball off a shelf that has all sorts of gadgets, I click a button on the bottom of it. It instantly shapes into a bracelet and attaches itself to my left wrist. The bracelet is four inches wide and looks it was put together like a puzzle. It has blue electric lines running through it, it also has a small squared button on the top and a matching dial on the part where connects to the back of the wrist.
The device is called and VCS which srands for Vector Conversion Shield. This shield emits an AIM dispersion shield which if is contacted with a vector reflects said vector. If a bullet was shot at you and you had this shield on it would make the bullet
"VCS, now I need a small light weapon preferably an ax or a knife." I walk over to the rack containing axes and pick up a single bladed hand ax with red magic veins running from the grip to the edge of the blade. The ax is about 2 eet long, the silver blade is 9 inches long. The grip is black and where the blade meets the shaft it has a red skull.
On the far east side of the room there's a closet, I walk up to it and open it. Black. Black clothing, armor, and other things you can wear are inside this massive closet.
I grap a sleeveless black shirt with a popped up collar, dark blue jeans, black short combat boots, and a black muscle shirt. Then I grab dome black leather gloves and gauntlets. I also grab a leather brown belt and a black holster for my ax. I make the markings all over my body dissapear hiding them from plain sight. Grabbing a black mask that only covers my mouth and putting on I'm ready to go.
Closing the closet and going over the inventory in my weapons room I walk out off the room and back to my living room. Once inside the living room I take a deep breath and clear my mind.
"Mission commence."
Time: 2200 Hours
Location: Al Faiyûm, Egypt
Status: Ongoing Mission
Running and jumping from roof to roof has its perks. There has been seemingly no signs of no spirits these whole 5 hours I've been here in Egypt.
Anubis didn't give me the location of any of the spirits so I had to start with the snatest choice cities closest to the Pyramids of Giza. I went from Tantā passed the the Pyramids of Giza where I found no evidence of spirits. Now I'm in Al Faiyûm following a slight trail of something dead.
I jump down front the roof of a small house and look at the dirt road. A green substance shines from the light of the moon. I use my index finger to feel the substance, it feels gooey and elastic like some kind of slobber.
Smelling it I notice the decomposing odor of it. "This isn't normal, and it smells fresh probably over an hour ago."
I extend my senses to over a mile away. The first thing I notice is the sound of weird chattering like if the jaws of skeletons are slacking together. Pulling back my senses I make my way towards the unfamiliar sound.
I hid on the roof of a store building overlooking the street. The sound has intensified and sounds just below the store. I peek over the building and witness a strange sight. Four skeletons are hudded together moving their jaws as if they are talking. But what is weirder than that is their bones are dripping the green goo I found.
Snapping my fingers I make the black jar appear in my hands. I breath deeply and clear my head, then I jump off the roof. Crashing. That's what I do when I land, I crash into a skeleton immediately breaking it. The jar opened during the fall which in turn sucked the spirit away into it once it released its hold on the skeleton.
The skeletons hiss and probably curse strange words at me. One of them puts its arms around me and tries to tackle me to the floor. I quickly grab its arm and flip it over me, then I push my foot into its head breaking the skull. The jar immediately once again absorbs the spirit.
"Two left, this was easier that I thought it would be."
One of the two left runs towards me, it punches and I dodge. It throws a left jab but I stop its hand. Before it does anything else I crap its face and slam it into the ground making a small crater where the skeleton impacted.
Quickly turning around and high kicking the skeletal head off the last spirit I finish the last one. The jar then absorbs both the spirits and closes itself. A slight gold light starts to emanate from then jar then suddenly it dissapears.
"Mission complete." I say in a relieved tone.
Before I teleport back to my house I hear a scream coming from a couple of houses down. The scream sounds feminine in nature and I can't help checking it out. Pulling my mask over my face I make my way towards the scream. The mask is used for when I don't want people to know my identity, it also makes my voice deep, dark, and menacing.
In front of the house where the scream came from I can see legs kicking out. From what I hear its a women struggling to try to get away from someone. Another scream resonates through the air and I decide it's the moment to act.
I walk to the front of the house and come across a infuriating. A man is trying to take advantage of what seems to be a 14 year old girl. Her shirt is rip down the middle exposing her bra and she has another to cover her button half but a pair of underwear. Anger talking me over I grab the man and flin him off of her. He rolls and skids a good 10 feet before he stops
"Are you okay?"My voice comes out as demonic as ever due to the mask. It scare her because she's scared stiff it looks like she's not even breathing. Before I can do anything I hear some yelling coming from behind me.
I get up and look at the man; he's scrawny, short, and he has rags for clothes. He starts to yell out at me in Arabic which I can't understand
He pulls out a rusty looking kitchen knife and charges at me. Big mistake.
The knife is aimed at my torso, but before he can even cut me I move faster than the eye can to right in front of him. I grab his wrist and with a slight movement of mine I shatter his wrist with my strength, he drops the knife and screams. His cries sound like a wounded animal that is being chased by a predator.
Drooping down to his knees he cliches his arm and let's out groans of pain. " Let me teach you how to use a knife."
Testing the knife out I spin in on the palm of my hand then I twirl it and spin it on the back of my hand. "Its weight is uneven but I can still use it properly." Screams. That are the only thing you can hear in the silence of the night.
The knife slices easily through the flesh of his forearm cutting through tendons and nerves. Tears flow out of the mans eyes but I feel no remorse. I read his mind before cutting him and saw the attrocities that he has committed. Murder. Rape. This man has no use to this world.
Another cut slices through his body. This one through his left supraspinatus, which is the tendon that connects the shoulder to the rest of the arm.
The man starts to beg and openly weeps. "Pathetic. You have the courage to do unspeakable horrors but in the face of certain death you cower and weep like a child. I shall pity you and end your suffering."
I grab the knife and swiftly jam it through his skill instantly killing him. The whole process took exactly 8 minutes. The whole time I used some weak magic and mist to hide what the girl behind me what really would've seen.
I turn around and walk back to the girl, by this time I am hoping she has calmed down. Kneeling down to look at her I look at her up and down to look for injuries.
She starts to hyperventilate and babble in Arabic. Before she goes on for hours I put two fingers to her forehead. I immediately learn her people's language by absorbing all the language information in her mind.
"Are you OK?" I ask her in English since I taught her English through the mind connection.
"Yes, I am." She instantly jumps probably hearing herself speak for the first time in English.
"How am I talking in this weird language?"
"I taught it to you when I touched your forehead, I also learned Arabic from you."
"Are you a god or something?" I internally chuckle and smirk even though she can't see it under my mask.
"No I'm not I'm very far from what you would call a god. I know that I'm human but with extraordinary powers." She nods but all of a sudden her eyes widen. Her hands instantly grab my arms in a forceful hold.
"Please sir you have to help my sisters. They are inside the house where they will be forced to bed the men that live there. They had already used me and threw me out and left me to die. That man you incapacitated found me and tried to take advantage of me." She tells me in a soft and vulnerable tone. Her body shudders during the process which makes me want to help her.
"Very well I will help you, but if I may ask how did you end up here? Don't you have a family." I ask in a concerned tone breaking the emotionless tone I had been using before.
"My father owed the men money, but her didn't have any money so the men told my father to hand over all his virgin daughters. My two sisters and myself were the only ones left from the five daughters of our family. If we weren't handed over he would start to kill our relative and pillage their houses to get the amount of money our father owed them. That has been over a week ago and I have been just thrown out yesterday morning." Tears are flowing put of her eyes and she's sobbing. Her arms hands had already let go of my arms. M
I clench my hands until I feel the blow flow being blocked. "Stay right here, I'll be back in a moment." I tell her going back to my emotionless tone.
The door goes flying into the house just by me knocking. I guess my anger made my power go a little beserk. Dead silence fills the air of the house. I raise my eyebrow in a quizzative look and decide to use my vast hearing to look for any signs of life.
Taking a deep breath I close my eyes and focus. Muffled sounds enter my ear canal. "Under the house."
I walk unto the disgusting kitchen and pull a rug that was under a table. There I find a secret door, I pull on it and throw it back into the air and through the roof. A stairwell leads further down into the ground which I follow.
After a few silent seconds I end up in front of the door leading obviously into a secret room. Pulling my leg back I swing it towards the door. The door flies into the room hitting and crushing someone against the wall.
Another terrible sight seems to present itself once more. A group of 5 men are inside the room, two are taking advantage of the other two sisters. One is squished in between the door and wall, and the other two are sitting down with cards on in their hands in front of a table playing what seems poker.
The two girls look at me with eyes filled with hope that I'm their savior. They are older than the girl outside, and are quite beautiful. They have long wavy black hair, light brown eyes, tanned skin, and look around 17-18 years old no wonder the men were so interested. They both are in rags for clothes with nothing covering their lower half. I notice many bruises on their face, arms, and slight cuts on their legs. The girl closest to me is sitting on one of the mans lap with hickies covering her chest. The other I bent over and it seems she was just about to get raped.
The room they are in is filthy with food and what smells like feces and piss. Humakind is trash, just look at what they do. People like these men don't deserve to live on this beautiful planet. "Who the hell are you?!" One of the men sitting down that was playing poker demands in Arabic breaking me out of my daze.
"Let the girls go and I won't harm you." I tell them in a menacing tone that sent shivers up their spine.
Both of the men that were playing poker stood up. They are both roughly 6' 2 and built like muscle heads. And they do the stupidest thing ever. They ran at me with knifes in hand.
The first guy, the darker of the two, reaches me and tries to slice me. I move to my left dodging the knife. The second guy slashes downward trying to cut my chest biut I jump backwards getting away from the knife.
I take the the ax that was in the holster on the left side of my hip and throw it with complete accuracy. The ax flies and impales guy number one in the head, his body crumbles to the floor in a shower of blood.
Guy number two looks down at guy number one and shouts, "you killed my brother, you fucking piece of shit!"
"I gave you a warning and you didn't head it. This was your fault and your fault only."
The man gives out a war cry before laughing himself once again. He tries to stab me but I sidedtep., with his arm still outstretched I use the palm of my hand and Stoke this elbow downward. His bone breaks upon impact, before he can even scream I grab the knife that was falling from his hand and slice his throat.
Blood flows out of his neck and he too falls just like the one before him. A clicking sound comes from behind me similar to that of a gun. Turning around I see the man that had the girl in her lap with an AK-47 pointed at me. "You're out of luck now you sick fuck!"
"Put the gun down before I make your pain even more painful then it has to be." I tell him in an angry tone.
His arms are shaking and fear is evident in his eyes. Another clicking goes off, I look to the side and see the other man with AK-47 also pointed towards me. I notice that the girls are huddled in a dark corner of the room. "Ha haha! It's two against one!" The first one says in a more confident tone than what he was a minute ago
Might as well be 10000 to 1 because they'll never be able to touch me with those bullets
Shaking my head solemnly I say, "remember I gave you a choice and you didn't take it."
My body stiffens and just like before I dissapear and reappear in front of the first guy. Before he can get a shot in I ouch his chest, caving his ribs in effectively making them stab his heart. His body flies through the wall breaking everything in his path.I press the purple button on my bracelet activating the VRS. The second guy shoots the gun but before the bullets touch me the shield reverses them and the bullets hit him back.
This all happens in a matter of 10 seconds. Once I disable the shield and pick up my ax I walk up to the girls. "Are you okay?"
"Who are you? Did you come to hurt us? Why did you kill those men?" The oldest of the girls bombards me in a frantic way.
"I came to complete a favor for a certain person."
"Thank you." The girls both envelop me in a hug but just as quickly let me go.
"This is going to feel weird but try to cope."
They both nod, then I put my hands on their shoulders. Immediately after we appear in front of the house next to the first sister.
"Antarta!" Both girls scream out in joy.
Antarta embaces both of her sisters with tears in her eyes. "Hunra! Kit! You're okay!" All of them sob softly and embrace for a few seconds.
They all look at me and look at me with amazement and hope in their eyes. "Thank you kind sir how could we ever repay you?"
"Sleep. You won't be able to remember me in the future so no need to thank me."
The girls eyes flutter slightly and they fell straight into a deep sleep. I put my hands over their bodies and a white light envelops them. The power I stole from Balder a Norse God takes effect, it purifies them and gives them back their innocence.
Then I touch their foreheads wiping all of the memories of them being abused by those men and all of the memories that include me.
I spread my power over them and teleport them to the front of their house. The location of their home was collected when I looked over the first girls mind. Knocking on the door I wait for someone to open the door.
The door creaks open and a old man walks out.
"May I help you sir?" The man says in a nervous tone.
I move to the side so he can catch a view of his daughters. When he sees them his eyes widen with confusion and anger.
"What did you do to them?!"
"I came to return them. Do not worry those men will never bother you again. Your daughters will not remember anything about me or the men." I grab his forearm and burn a cobra insignia on it. He cries out in pain but just as quickly he stops, the insignia dissapears into his arm leaving no trace of it.
"This is insurance so you won't speak of me. The insignia will cause great pain if you try to speak of me."
At first he has look of betrayal on his face but it goes away and he nods in understanding.
"Thank you sir, I am forever in your debt."
I nod and walk away from him and the girls. After passing a few houses I teleport back to HQ.
Once back in front of HQ I take the elevator up to the top floor where my study is. The elevator dings and walk down a hallway and push through some wooden French doors. My study is giant 40x50 feet room, the walls to my sides look like libraries. I have a desk filled with paperwork, and s giant glass window behind it. The floor has red carpet and the room has many couches.
Sighing loudly I sit on my chair in front of my desk and start to fill out paperwork. Before I can get started one my report on my latest mission there is a nock on the doors.
"Come in."
In walks in Beatrice, a werewolf I found in Italy. She has dirty blond hair, light green eyes, lightly tanned skin, and a toned but curvy body. She's one of the most desired women in the association, and what she's wearing it isn't making it easier. Her black long sleeved button shirt shows a large quantity of cleavage. He jeans are showing off her amble butt, and the slight makeup on her face makes her even more beautiful.
If I wasn't so uninterested in relationships, I probably would've mariied her. Not only for her looks but her personality. She is loyal, courageous, and most of all humble.
"Sir, the payment has been made and the scimtar is locked in the vault."
I give her a small smile, a small rosy tint appears on her face. "Thank you Beatrice."
"Also sir the new recruits have just finished their training you will need to give speak in the next Ceremony of Ascension." She tells me in a formal tone.
"Very well I will start to write it right now." I respond to her in a slightly bored tone.
She stands there for a few seconds slightly shifting in nervousness. "Ugh sir, I was wondering why you took so long on your last mission if you don't mind me asking."
The room becomes colder and look at her with a serious expression. "I rid the world of some skum, and saved some innocent lives."
Her eyes slightly widen but she composes herself. "Very well, thank you for telling me I will take my leave know." He does a slight bow and walks out of the door.
I sit back on my chair and pinch the bridge of my nose.
Its been a long time since I've took a life. It felt just like before, wrong and shameful. Some part of me feels received that I can still kill without mercy.
"Ah. Still as cold and serious as always. Eh Perseus Jackson."
My body freezes up and my mind immediately goes into a flashback.
