The Wrath of The Underworld


Chapter 1: Facing the Facts


"Tyler get up." I hear, I roll over on my bed to see Trip standing there with a sly grin on his face like he had done something wrong, which knowing him he probably did... Trip is a fairly big 17 year old with long brown hair and a six pack.

"Trip why the hellhound are you waking me up?" I snapped, sitting up with a yawn.

"Well Thomas thinks we found another demigod… My King." He said sarcastically and he took a bow.

"Shut up!" I hissed at him throwing the closest thing that was near me, which was my pillow, which he did catch. "Tell Thomas I'll be there in a little." He said.

"Ok." He says walking away.

I quickly got up and walked into my bathroom, taking off my boxers and getting in the shower. As I washed my hair I went through the protocol for introducing myself and The Warriors of the Underworld. My name is Tyler Slade, I'm a son of Hades and I am the well respected leader of the Warriors of the Underworld. The Warriors of the Underworld are a band of demigods who serve Hades, doing his biding. We have also been around for a very long time. Once you take the pledge and the oath to serve Hades and do whatever he asks and whatever you are granted with the gift of immortality.

Alright... What's a couple questions they will ask? I asked myself.

Q: How long are we immortal?

A: For as long as you do Hades biding, listen to me your amazing leader and for as long as you don't fall in battle

Q: How do we know what Hades wants us to do?

A: Hades sends his biding through the leader, or AKA me.

Q: Who can become leader?

A: Only children of Hades.

I sighed and stepped out of the shower, wrapping the towel around my waist, as soon as I walked out of the bathroom Thomas walked in.

through some Jeans and a t-shirt on.

"Hey... Ummm Tyler we found uhh-" Thomas says walking in Thomas is Brown hair with Blonde streaks and there, He has blue eyes and his father is Apollo and as soon as he saw me wet and shirtless with nothing but a towel around my waist he immediately reacted, "Oh... Ummm sorry I'll just." He said turning towards the door.

"No it's alright, what is it?" I reply and he turns back and looks at me, "We've found another demigod." He said.

"So I have heard... If you don't mind wait for me outside my room and we will get down to business." I replied.

Thomas nodded and walked out of the room without another word. I turned and dropped the towel, drying myself off and then getting on a t-shirt and some jeans and then walked out into the hallway to see Thomas leaning against the wall, I turned and began walking down the hallway without him, "Talk to me Thomas." I said and he had to quickly catch up. "Give me the details on this girl."

"The demigod we found is a 16 year old girl with long brown hair and her name is Ashley." He said.

"Do you know her parent?" I asked, continuing to walk down the hallway.

"No... Not 100%" He replied.

I nodded and walked down the steps into the clearing. Once you exit out of my room there is a long hallway and if you turn right you find everyone else's rooms for a LONG way back. But if you continue down the hallway you will come across a small stair case that would take you to the main dinning hall were the front door is, which is two large metal doors, and if you walk up to the front door and turn left there's the Training Arena.

WE finally made it into the clearing and found Ashley sitting in a chair. I walked over and sat down in the chair in front of her.

"Hello Ashley." I said with a plastered on smile, I really didn't want to be here I wish I could just go back to sleeping.

"Hi…" She said, "If you don't mind me asking you... Who are you and where am I?" She asked.

"No I don't mind at all... Well my name is Tyler Slade and you are in an a mansion full of demigods." I said simply.

"It doesn't look like a mansion… It looks more of a warehouse to me... And what is a demigod?" She replied, nervously.

This was true... To many people, even Demigods, the Mansion looks like a warehouse, a really old and really abandoned warehouse. But that's because the mist is so strong that even demigods can't see the mansion.

"That is true… But trust me it may look like a warehouse even to you but it truthfully is a huge mansion."

Alright... Whatever you say... Umm... Can you explain to me what's happening?" She asked, seeming very confsed.

"Ok first ill introduce you to my second and third in command. Thomas go find Trip." I said looking at Thomas.

"Yes sir." Thomas nodded and scurried away.

"That was Thomas, He's my third command.

"For what? What are you talking about?!" She said, almost hissing at me.

"You better watch your tone or I swear to the Gods I will rip that pretty little smile right off your face." I snapped.

"What do you want?" I hear someone interrupt our rather lovely conversation. I look over to see it was Trip.

"Ahh yes, This is Trip my second in command and my Weapon's specialist." I say pointing to Trip. "And you've obviously met Thomas already but this is Thomas my third in command and also my archery specialist."

"Ok… So what does this have to do with anything?" She asked again.

"That's what I was getting to!" I snapped losing my patience with her.

"Fine. Go on." She said, waving her hand as if she was in charge of me.

I sighed and continued. "Ok so… Do you know all the myths of the Greek gods?" I started off simply.

"Yes…?"

"Well they are not myths, blah blah blah, your a demigod which means you half human half god, one of the children of the gods."

"Sir don't you think… You should be a little more I don't know… easier about this? Then just blurting it out?" Thomas advice.

"Well sorry I get tired of explaining it after a while." I said adding a glare. "Would you like to do this?" I asked gesturing to Ashley and he shook his head, "That's what I thought." I snapped and turned back to Ashley, "Anyway where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?" I asked.

"How can you tell?" Ashley asked.

"Tell what?" I asked.

"That I'm a demigod!" She exclaimed.

"Oh… You mean you're not going to deny that Greek mythology isn't real? That were lying to you and all that stuff?" I asked in shock, usually they do and if she wasn't going to... Well this would be a thousand times easier.

"No… I believe you… How can you tell that I am a demigod?" She asked again.

"Well it's just a guess but usually you get attacked by a monster or something like that. Sometimes you get claimed."

"I see…. And what Is this… Organization you call here?"

"We are called the Warriors of The Underworld."

"And if I join…"

"You become Immortal."

"For forever?"

"As long as you pledge to do whatever Hades tells you to do." I tell, tapping my foot getting impatient.

"And how do you know what he tells us to do?"

"He goes through me. His son. He's sends me dreams and thoughts and sometimes evens talks to me through my mind and occasionally visits."

"So you're Hades son… Like the god of the dead? And... And the leader?"

"Yes. See the leader of the Warriors of the Underworld MUST and ALWAYS will be a son or daughter of Hades."

"How long have you been the leader?"

"Since 1969."

"Is the leader always a son or daughter of Hades?"

"Didn't I just say that?" I asked.

"And what if I say no to this offer?" She asked, raising an eyebrow and crossing her leg.

I have to admit I love this part. It always just makes me excited. Plus it scares there socks off them.

"We kill you right here and now." I said joyfully with a gin on my face.

This obviously strikes fear in Ashley cause her face turns pale and it falls flat and she stiffens, "It seems like an offer I cannot refuse."

"Indeed. So what do you say Ashley?"

Truthfully I really wish she would say no. Like you have no idea. I haven't killed an actual demigod in what? Ages? Maybe even a decade... Yeah... I think so, a decade... Wow it's been too long... Now I really wish she would say no so I could gut this girl like a fish.

"One more question." She said.

I've rolled my eyes and sighed, "Ok ask away." I said miserably.

"Can we be killed?" She asked.

"Only if you fall in combat." I replied simply.


"Ok… I say yes."

"Good…"

"So… When do I become immortal?"

"Give it a sec." I said and waited. After about 10 seconds she began glowing pink, signalizing that she was now immortal. The color of the glow is different for everyone, my was black.

"You just did."

"Oh… Ok… So How exactly do we get food?"

"Father provides it. We meet every morning at 9pm for breakfast. No sooner or later. Every lunch at 1pm and every dinner at 8pm. There is training hollow. We will find you a teacher."

"I'll be her teacher." Trip pipes up.

"Ok." I say looking at him suspiciously, Trip is probably one of the last people on this earth that I trust. I don't really like him. "Every now and then father will command us to retrieve a demigod. Or kill one. Other than that you can go no farther then Delaware. You can explore but remember do NOT leave Delaware."

"Gotcha. Where will I be sleeping?"

"I'll show her to her room." Trip says standing up.

"Good." I said, waving my hand to dismiss them and Trip and Ashley got up and walked away. Knowing Trip he probably would do her... Bang her... He plays pretty much everyone, he's a ladies man.

"Thomas… What's are head count?" I asked him.

Thomas sighed and flipped through a bunch of papers on a clipboard, looking at the list of demigods we had, he looked up from the paper and sighed, "We have…. 37 kids counting us and Ashley."

"That's not a lot. Remember we once had 70 demigods?"

"Yes until-"

"Don't speak their names! I don't want to remember that day... That day that they killed more then half of us off." I snapped.

"Yes sir." He said nodding.

"Round everyone up I'll go get Trip and Ashley. It's lunch time." I hissed.

"Yes sir." He said nodding again.

I walked away looking in every room available. Finally I found them. I swung the door open to see they were… kissing. See I knew it! I knew he would make a move on her.

"Ah! Trip! Really? Right when she gets here?"

"Oh! Umm… Uh… Sorry Trip. I'll be going." Ashley said, getting up and scurrying out of the room.

"Yea, yea. Come on its lunch time." I snapped at him.

"Come on Tyler… I barely got to make a move!." Trip said grinning like the idiot he is.

"So? What do I care?" I snapped, "Your such an idiot." I hissed.

I hate him. He's arrogant, rude, a cocky son of a gun. I hate him cause he's like me... But I must admit I'm much crueler, Trip never ripped a persons heart out with there hand... Which I did, and yes I am very proud of it. I can remember the look of fear on there face... The begging they did as my hand clasped around there heart and then there scream as I ripped it out.

"Just go!" Trip snapped, interrupting my one moment of happiness.

"Fine." I said shrugging it off, I turned around and walked out of the room. I guess I have to face the facts. My life isn't the same as it was all those years ago. My father doesn't need me to kill anymore demigods like you used to... I don't think he trusts me much with it anyway... My last mission didn't go so well... Whatever I guess I just go to face the facts...
