Chapter one-
Marching slowly through the heavy snow his legs were biting in pain. His hands becoming numb as he walked. He wafted he way through the snow and up a hill where off in the distance through a bustling blizzard was a faint light. He gained a since of empowerment as he began moving towards the light. The blizzard swept across the icy landscape and devoured the teen. The wind was strong and the force battered him until finally after a few feet he collapsed to exhaustion and fell to his knees. His body was acing in pain and his skin burning. The last thing he saw before falling face first into the snow was a large silhouette approaching him.
His mind ached as his eyes rushed open. He leaned upwards in the small cot he woke in and took a look around the room. He found himself in a small room with pictures of unknown places and people across the walls. He saw his leather backpack along with his long sword leaning against the wall next to his cot. He quietly leaned over and grabbed the blade and stood from the bed. He slowly unsheathed the sword and made his way to the door on the far side of the room. He held his weapon high as he pushed through the door way and into a long corridor. He looked both ways before turning to the right, he started walking before he could hear footsteps behind him.
He whipped backwards and slashed his sword down at the sound. His blade flew swiftly but stopped when he realized it was a small white haired girl. "What the…? Who are you?" He questioned while pulling his blade back and sheathing it.
"How rude of you. No one wants a guest who slings his sword around. I'm chionothýella.
But you can call me Chino." She nagged him.
She was carrying with her a small tray that had soup and some medicine in a bottle. "Well What's the name?" She questioned while pushing herself past him and into the room he was in earlier.
"oh uh its kólasi. But you may call Kole for short." He answered while following behind her. "Uh Chino where are we exactly?" He questioned as he sat back on the cot.
She was smiling as she pulled out the medicine and a needle from her pocket, she pushed it into the bottle and filled the needle. She then shoved it into Kole's arm before he could protest. He rubbed his arm as the needle left him. "We are in the outskirts of Alaska. When I went out to gather some food and things I found you lying face first on the ground. I figured you were worth saving and dragged you back here and let you sleep. You've been knocked out for two days since I found you." She said while watching him eat the warm soup she brought with her.
Kole finished his meal and thanked Chino before she told him about the shower in the other room.
While he was showering Chino got dressed and went out side. She walked about five minuted from the house and stopped when she reached a large shack. She pulled a key form her jacket and unlocked the door. She pushed the heavy door inwards and stepped inside. Inside the shack was a massive meat locker and had can food stacked along the walls. She grabbed an entire deer carcass that was hanging from the ceiling. She strained a bit before a small sled forged of ice rose form the ground. She placed the corpse onto the sled and grabbed it's frozen rope and began the trip back to house.
As she entered the home she called for Kole who was sitting in the living room tinkering with a small pocket watch. He looked up at her and stood. "Hey Kole could you grab this and bring it inside? Bring it to the back I have a table back there." She Asked him kindly.
"Sure no problem Chi." he laughed while they walked past each other. He walked outside and saw the sled and his expression darkened. He leaned down and grabbed the dead beast. He threw it onto his shoulder and made his way to the back of the house and entered the room she was talking about.
She was standing in an apron with two knives in her hands. Blood was stained all over the room, the walls were covered to the point that it looked as if it were painted red. He dropped the deer on the table and stared the girl down. "You're a halfy aren't you?" He asked in a dark tone.
She smile before nodding in agreement. "Yes I'm the daughter of Chione. I already know that you're the son of Erebus." She said while slamming on of the knives deep into the body of the deer. The tissue ripped apart as she cut it into large piles and packaged it before pacing them into a colossal freezer next to the door.
Kole grew ill at the sight and walked to his room and gathered his things. When he finished he made his way for the door but was cut off by Chino who got in between him and the door. "where do you think you're going?" she questioned him with a terrifying face. He stepped back and grabbed his sword.
"I thank you for what you have done but I think it is time I leave." He replied with an angry look in his eyes.
She merely looked at him with same look before tackling him to the ground. "You're in no condition to leave this house. If you plan on leaving you have to take me along with you." She demanded.
"His face relaxed and he laughed. "If you promise not to slow me down then fine." He said while standing back up. She gasped before jumping up and down. "Finally an adventure!" She screamed while running off to get ready.
An hour later she finally came out of the hallway and into the living room where Kole was sitting. He was messing around with a small ball of machinery. "Ready?" She asked.
"Yeah. Lets head out." He said while putting his things away and putting his bag on.
The team left the home and began their long journey South to the coast.
That after noon before the sun set Kole picked out a place for them to camp. He set up the four person tent he carried with him in his bag. Chino used her power to made the snow move away form the camp site. When finished they were sitting on a dry log Kole found. Chino was boiling some of the meat she brought from the home. Kole was listening to her because she was singing a sweet song while cooking the food. He was enjoying himself until he heard rustling in the bushes around the camp site. He stood and grasped his sword.
"Chino get inside the tent. We aren't alone." He told her before making his way to the edge of the fire's light. "Who's out there?" He yelled out while using his powers of the void to see in the dark. As he turned to his right he was caught in the chest by a large wolf. It growled and slobbered as it tried hard to chomp on his neck. He formed a fist with his left hand and slammed it hard into it's snout and kicked it off of himself.
When he stood he saw that there were six wolves standing ready in front of him. He slashed out with his sword and cleaved one of the beast across the back killing it. Two of the wolves ran behind him and jumped at him. He turned and kicked one out of the air but the other knocked him down. The other four grabbed his wrists and ankles, holding him still The one he kicked down walked over to him and began to speak.
"Kole!" The wolf spoke.
"A-Artemis?" Kole thought before struggling free and punching the talking wolf in the snout. He grabbed his sword and quickly made work of two more wolves. "I'm not here to kill you only inform you." All the wolves said in unison. "I've been sent by Hades to let you know that Boreas will be coming for you."
"Why me?" He asked.
"Because you've taken his precious granddaughter from her holding place." She said before the wolves turned away and ran into the darkness.
He stood there listening to their barking and howling before walking to the tent. When he opened it Chino was staring straight at him. "So! What was that? Uh?" She growled at him.
He laughed before telling her it was Artemis. He wanted to ask about the granddaughter thing but didn't for the sake of speaking of a such a powerful man.
After they ate that night they both got inside of the tent and laid down. Kole slept on one side and Chino slept on the other. Chino quickly fell asleep in the warm tent but Kole on the other hand was lying awake looking up a the ceiling of the tent. He was thinking about Chino and his father. He didn't think much of his father and wanted to prove to him that he wasn't a mistake. When Kole was born his mother died and Erebus his father told him that he was a mistake and useless before he returned to the void. As a child Kole was sent to a foster home where he learned manners and how to take care of himself and his step adopted siblings.
He tossed and turned for hours before finally sitting up and taking the small balls he was tinkering with before and began screwing and adjusting them. The sun had rose and Chino rolled over before yawning. She sat up and greeted Kole who hadn't slept that night
"What are you working on? I've seen you messing around with those a lot." She asked.
"Oh these are just some basic smoke grenades." He told her before placing them in his bag.
They both climbed out of the tent, Kole went straight to work gathering wood for a fire. Chino waited at the camp but kept herself busy by preparing the meat and vegetables. She was slicing some some onions and potatoes when she accidentally cut herself with the knife. Her hand soon covered it's self in blood, the cut was deep and precise. She instantly stood and winced in pain as she fumbled through her bag until finally she found her med kit and brought it outside the tent. She grabbed the bandages from the kit and began wrapping it around her palm and down to her wrist. As she finished she put the kit back and as she exited the tent her hand dripped some blood on the ground.
The snow turned a dark crimson before a small jump in movement. The snow began pulsating as it slowly began to draw itself together. It rose form the ground forming an immensely tall snow golem. It was pure snow with ice on it's hands and legs. It had two large black eyes that stared Chino down. She screamed out in terror as she backed up but tripped over the log Kole had placed near the fire. She hit the ground and rolled over, crawling her way away from the monster before running towards where Kole went into the tundra.
"Was that Chino?" Kole thought to himself as he threw down the logs he had gathered and dashed to the camp. As he came around the corner of a small mound he ran into Chino. She clinched to his chest as she got emotional and pointed out. He followed the finger out to where he saw a massive silhouette coming closer through the snow. He sat Chino down and grabbed his sword.
He drew it fast and charged at the monster. As he neared it swept it's massive arm outwards but Kole ducked and slid under the arm and the beast. He jumped up and slashed it's back. His sword cut through the snow but in the center was a hard chunk of ice that stopped the blade. "Well sh..." He whispered as the beast sent him skipping across the ground with a simple back hand. As Kole settled he was on the verge of passing out and he could feel that his left arm was broken. As his vision was blurring he saw Chino who was screaming while dodging the monster's attacks.
As he finally passed out he woke up in a dark empty void of complete darkness. His body was seemingly floating in the air. He heard a calm female voice echo from the darkness. "Who are you? What is this?" He tried to ask but he couldn't make a sound.
"I am Nyx the mother of night and darkness. I have been watching you kólasi. As you may know I've been bothered by your ignorant father for countless years. It would just so happen that you and I have a common interest revolving your father. I would like to aid you since you're realistically my stepson." The voice said.
Kole thought it over and consider what would happen to Chino. "I accept your gift mother Nyx." He said, this time actually being able to speak. Her voice faded slowly while she laughed and as she dissipated he woke form his state. He stood and could feel the strength she gave him. He picked his sword off the ground and held it out to the side horizontally. He strained but soon the blade erupted into a black flame but condensed itself in a black blade. He charged at the beast.
The snow melted as he and his sword moved through it. He let his arm fall back before ripping it forwards and slashing at the monster. It turned away form Chino and punched out at the sword strike. The sword met the icy fist, the blade cleanly sliced through and cut into the beast's arm. It roared out before swinging it's other arm at Kole, who merely held his hand straight out to the right stopping the arm completely.
Kole curled his arm causing his sword to slice the monster's face before jumping back a few feet. The golem growled as snow rose form the ground like sand and repaired it's hand and arm. After it finished healing it jumped into the air, put both hands together and slammed them down at Kole. Kole readied his weapon and swiped it fast horizontally at the beast. A long black line of void came from the blade and sliced the golem in two.
Chino ran up from behind some cover and ran up to the golem's torso. She looked at the ice and told Kole to pierce a strange heart that was frozen in the ice. When he did so the snow fell limp and his sword faded back to normal. However now it had changed into a long thin sword that had a black blade and a gray hilt.
They both started laughing together as they sat there in the snow next to the immense ice shard left behind. Kole was holding his left arm which was broken when the golem sent him flying. "Chino are you okay?" Kole asked while standing up. Chino nodded and accepted Kole's help standing.
They walked back to their camp in silence, Kole held his arm and Chino was rubbing her hand. When they finally reached camp Chino started cooking again after patching up Kole's arm. Kole was sitting next to her while engineering a new kind of flash grenade. He listened and was mellowed by Chino's singing. Every time she would cook she would sing some Alaskan folktales.
After they ate they checked the perimeter for anything suspicious before heading inside the tent. Kole was on his side in the tent and was tinkering like usual, but Chino who would be snoring quietly till dawn was still awake. Kole realized her lack of slumber and thought that she might be worried about something. "Hey Chino. Is something wrong? You're not sleeping and its already past midnight." He questioned while putting his grenade away.
She looked at him quizzically before rolling over and sitting up. "You know how I cut my hand right?" she asked and was pleased when Kole nodded. "Well some of my blood splashed onto the snow and I think my grandfather is coming after us." She said in a worried voice.
Kole laughed at the statement and leaned over grabbing her hand. "Look Chino I've made some deals with some people I won't let him kill me or take you, or what ever he wants." He assured her. She looked at his smile and teared up. She wiped away a tear and began laughing with him. She gave him a quick peck on the lips and crawled her way back over to her side of the tent. Kole was caught off guard by Chino since that was the orphans first kiss. He laid down on his back and stared at the roof until finally he passed out.
