Annabeth was running. She was running as fast as she could from that thing that was chasing her. What did it want? She had no idea, but she was smart enough to run from a rhinoceros sized black dog that had appeared from nowhere. She had just been playing with her little sister Katie in a playground down the street from their New York apartment when it showed up and tried to attack the two. They were initially able to evade it, but after destroying the playground equipment it was time for a new strategy. Run. The monster had followed her the most during the initial attack, so telling Katie to go get their dad she ran in the opposite direction to buy her sister some time. Trying to lose it in any way she turned into an alley way, unfortunately was a dead end. Hearing a very loud growl Annabeth slowly turned around to face the monster. It was one of the most terrifying things she had ever seen. As the beast stalked towards her she could only hope that Katie had gotten to their dad in time to save her. After all she really did not want to end up this things lunch. As the monster, that she now saw was very similar to the description of a hellhound from greek mythology, leapt towards her intent on devouring her. Her hopes were answered,...in the form of a large garbage container from further down the alley slammed into the creature mid-air. As the monster sailed past her, colliding into the side of one of the buildings, smashing some chunks out of the wall, she turned to the direction from where the heroic garbage bin came from she heard the voice of the man she was proud to call dad.
"Now Annabeth I know you and Katie wanted a pet but picking up strays, no matter how large is still a no no." Her father spoke a very deep and slightly scandinavian accented voice. Which, given what the man looked like it would not be hard to mistake him for an actual viking, what with the very nordic arm tattoos and the clothing that didn't help avoid such ideas. After all he was easily one of the biggest, muscle bound, bearded men in the city, if not country. Which was weird since both her and her sister were rather short, granted she was 10 and Katie was 8 but still, they wanted some height. It would make it easier to steal sweets that her dad kept up on top of their cabinets. Why did those
"You daydream about swiping candy with your sister later. Right now though daddy needs you to go back home and wait with Katie till I get back." Stated her dad not taking his yellow eyes off the writhing hellhound.
"Bu-but, what about you?" Asked Annabeth. She really didn't want to lose her dad to a monster, she and Katie needed him. Her dad turned to look at her and gave her a smile.
"Don't worry, I have dealt with far worse than this before." Spoke her father. "Now run home now and daddy will be home in a bit,...if you're good I'll not only will you and your sister get sweets but I'll also take you to the Parthenon in Nashville." That was all it took for Annabeth to be sprinting to their home as fast as she could.
"Ah..so much like her mother." Reminisced the father of the two girls as he thought about each girls respective mother. A loud growl interrupted his thoughts however as he redirected his attention to the now very upset hellhound.
"Oh please, I haven't had a decent fight since I entered this dimension, what makes you think that you'll be capable of anything?" Mocked the man to the Rhino sized monster. With a snarl the beast jumped at him determined to kill this man who interrupted its lunch. Only to be side stepped and punched in the face with enough force to send it in the adjacent wall. The hellhound shook its head trying to regain its senses but was stopped when the man wrapped his arms around its neck and began to squeeze. At first the monster was questioning the man's sanity, a mortal try to strangle it? How ridiculous. However as it was now in close proximity with the man one sniff determined that he was not a mortal. In fact it had no idea what he was. His sented was switching between various smells. One was that of a mortal, the other something akin to a gods, another that of a wolf, and the last was one of fire. During this thought process however it had forgotten that this...thing was trying and succeeding in killing it. As it began to thrash around the beings grip held as this man lifted it up and slammed it to the ground, shattering concrete as it did. It made an attempt to bite him only for him to hold its jaw open. He placed his head in front of its, making direct eye contact, something that the hellhound wish he hadn't done and whispered one word. Yol. With this one word the hellhound was engulfed in flames that the man breathed into existence. The father watched as the monster that had tried to kill his children vaporized into gold dust. He scoffed as the monster thought it had stood a chance against him.
"*Sigh*...I remember when monsters posed a threat to me. Fun times, fun times. Though my melted to the sidewalk friend, I hope that you convey to all your monster friends in taurus that Annabeth and Katie Stormcrown are under their fathers protection. The Protection of Ysmir Dragon of The North!" Cried Ysmir. Though it was more of a title than a name he realized that if you went by your title you were generally more feared. Fine by him.
