(Third person POV)
"Gods damn it! Out of all the places theses Nilfgaard bastards, could have chosen to meet up at, they choose No Mans Land." Complains a dark mysterious figure in a hood.
"Well what did you expect, Gluttony?" Asks his companion.
"I didn't expect for us to be out here longer than we have to. We have more important matters at hand, Axii, not to mention I'm already in a bad mood." Gluttony says back.
"Still pissed about getting hit by the ice giant?" Axii questions.
"Wouldn't you be pissed, I mean hunting down the giant was fine. It was the fact there was three of them that really got to me." Gluttony replies irritable.
"It could have been- "
"HELP!" The two figures hear.
"Quit, you bitch, you're just getting what sluts like you crave for." A solider says, as the hooded figures arrive on their horses.
"Finally you Witcher's decide to show up. Was it a tough hunt?" Asks the soldier, after the Witcher's drop the heads of the giant's.
"What's going on here?" Axii scans the area, ignoring the man's question.
"Oh, you know, just your average execution," says the soldier nonchalantly as if what they were doing was anything near average.
"Doesn't look like the average execution. Looks to me like three men, trying to have their way with a woman." Gluttony growls with his voice hardening, seeing one of the two men in the back hitting the woman for biting him, while the other holds her down.
"That's nothing you should concern yourself with master Witcher. Besides she's just a whor- " Before the soldier could finish Gluttony kicks him in the face breaking his nose.
"Fuck. Kill the damn mutation freaks!" Yells the soldier holding his bleeding nose.
"Need any help?" Axii asked.
"Don't bother, this will be quick." Gluttony replies getting off his horse, standing in front of the other soldiers who drew their swords. The soldiers ready their blades before charging him wildly swinging their swords at him, which he dodged with ease.
Till one jabs at him allowing him an opening that he took, by sidestepping. He grabs his arm to use as a shield from a downward slash by the other soldier, which meant him cutting of his friends arm who was screaming in pain while bleeding out this giving Gluttony enough time to pull out a hidden knife to stab in the remaining soldiers neck killing him.
"Now where the hell did their leader go?" He asks looking around for the leader.
"Hey, Gluttony, over here," he hears Axii call who happens to be standing next to a tied up and scared shitless soldier.
"I was going to kill him." Gluttony says.
"Too bad you took to long. Also the kill doesn't go to you, it goes to the women over there." She says after removing her hood, revealing the face of a beautiful woman with yellow animal like eyes and long black hair tied in a ponytail.
"I guess your right." Gluttony replies throwing the woman his knife, and also removing his hood revealing a handsome man with a short beard and long wild black hair, accompanied with yellow animal eyes.
"Before we go be sure to collect our reward." Gluttony reminds Axii, climbing back onto his horse.
"Way ahead of you on that." Axii smirks, doing the same.
"Alright let's go then." Gluttony rushes Axii before kicking his horse to start forward, with Axii following close behind.
"Nice to know no matter how many years pass, you'll always be the same Percy." Axii says looking over at her companion.
"You're one to talk. At least I have control over my anger problems, unlike you, Reyna." Gluttony says with a smirk, knowing it would annoy her bringing up her anger problems.
"I know I have anger problems. I never said I didn't." Axii replies irritated that he brought it up. "Still it only feels like yesterday when everything changed for us." She continues, thinking about the past.
"Yeah, I guess I know what you mean." Gluttony whispers almost wistfully, thinking of his - all of their pasts.
(Flashback *Year 2020* )
"PERCY!" Someone yells.
"What do you want, Leo? Leave me alone please." Percy whines. He had hardly been getting enough sleep as it was, the past few days because of work.
"I'm telling you, Percy. If you just come work in the shop with me and Hazel. You wouldn't be so tired." Leo tells Percy. "Also you wouldn't be alone since . . . well, you know." Leo continues a little nervously.
Why shouldn't he be nervous, every time someone came close to that subject whenever Percy was around, he would always have a change in his mood. All because Annabeth and him broke up.
Truthfully everything has changed since the Second Giant War.
Hardly any monsters have been running around. Hell not even a single quest has been given because nobody knows what in Hades happened to the oracle, spirit of Delphi. What makes matters worse is that the Gods have a meeting every year to discuss what could have happened. Instead of going to find out which would've been much more helpful.
Everyone's lives were straight up boring. "Percy, Leo I swear. If you two don't hurry up . . . !" They hear Reyna yell.
"Reyna keep your voice down, you're causing a scene." Says a voice, which both Percy and Leo knew belonged to Hazel.
"Well they're taking to-" Reyna starts, but suddenly stops, hearing a door shut with both Leo and Percy standing in front of them.
"Hey, Percy." Hazel says cheerfully giving him a hug.
"Sup, Hazel." Greeted the son of Poseidon smiling. "How have you been?" He had always thought of Hazel as the sister he never got.
"Everything's great so far. Frank and I are doing great also, especially since Frank stepped down as Praetor. Giving us more time together." Hazel replies with a beaming smile.
"That's great, Hazel. I'm glad to hear everything is working out for you." Percy says smiling back at her. "Speaking of stepping down," he continues, "how are you doing Reyna? I heard that you also stepped down from Praetor. Is that true?" Percy asked with a small frown.
"Yes, it's all true." She answered smoothly. "And before you say anything," she says stopping Percy from interrupting her. "I thought it was time for me to step down. Yes I loved being Praetor, but with things being so peaceful lately. I wasn't really needed anymore."
The former praetor smiled sadly.
"It's seems as if everyone has forgotten us." Leo says glumly. "I won't lie as much as I love the peacefulness now, I kinda miss the fighting, miss feeling important. I hardly know what to do with myself nowadays." Leo finished under his breath.
"You are important, Leo, if not to anyone else. You're definitely important to us." Hazel says putting a comfortable hand on Leo's shoulder. Even today everyone who knew Leo could tell, that he was still hurting over Calypso death. It's one of the main reasons they hated the peace, because whenever monsters do show up. You don't know until it's too late. Something Leo found out the hard way, when a monster broke into his house and killed Calypso (she had the gods make her mortal). Ever since that day happened, Leo's been throwing himself into his work and lives in the shop. Because there's to many ghost in the house, he used to share with Calypso.
"Thanks, guys. I couldn't have asked for better friends." Leo says pulling himself together. "Anyway let's get going, and waste our time with another pointless meeting of the Gods." Leo continues with a fake smile.
(Olympus' Throne Room still flashback)
"Guys over here." Leo and them hear entering the throne room.
"Jason, Piper what's up." Leo says smiling giving his friends a hug.
"We're great what about you guys?" Piper asked giving everyone else a hug.
"Where is everyone?" Reyna asked scanning the throne room.
"They're all showing up along with their parents." Jason answers putting his arm around Pipers waist, causing a light pink to tint her cheeks.
Just like Jason had said, all the Gods along with their children flashed in, including the newly appointed Olympians: Hades and Hestia.
"Nico, Frank." Hazel addresses them, giving both her brother and boyfriend a hug.
"What's going, little brother?" Thalia smirks, punching Jason's arm lightly.
"Hey, Thals." Jason grins giving his older (yet younger in appearance) sister a hug.
"Hey, everyone." Says a voice Percy knows all to well. And turns around to see Annabeth walking towards them.
"Hey Annabeth." A few of them say back. The others mutter their greetings quietly as they notice the meeting being called to action. No one in their right mind would talk while the king of the gods was speaking
"Now that everyone is here, let the meeting commence!" Jupiter thunders.
(20 minutes later still flashback)
"I'll say it again, Brother: Having these meetings are pointless. Especially when we can send people to Greece to find out what's happened to Apollos oracle." Hades says irritated with his younger brother's stubbornness, and the yearly meetings that do nothing to solve their problems.
"Hades is right, Father. We cannot wait for the book of prophecies to be finished." Athena says trying to reason with her father.
"I'll say this again: There's no need to send for a quest to Delphi, when the book is halfway finished." The king replies in a tone saying he won't back down easily . . .or ever in his case.
"Halfway finished. That just means more dead half-bloods being killed. Going to Greece to find out what happened to the spirit of Delphi, will serve a more purpose. We could also find out so much more while we're there." Percy says his voice giving away how irritated he is right now.
"I agree with Percy, Father. We should personally go and find out what happened to Delphi. Seven years of these meetings and it's still the same outcome." Jason says to his father calmly.
"Lord Zeus I already have the Argo II rebuilt and it's ready for deploy at any moment." Leo says to the counsel of the Gods, with his trademark mischievous smile.
"Even the demigods agree we're wasting time with these meetings. I also agree it's pointless sitting here." Poseidon says.
"My husband is right about the matter. We should wait until the book is complete. Also there is absolutely no need to go looking for trouble in these times of peace." Hera says in a emotionless tone as always.
"Exactly my-" before Zeus gets to finish the throne room is filled with a blinding light.
"What in Jupiter was that?" Reyna mumbled once the light vanished from the room.
"Where am I?" Everyone hears someone say.
"This can't be happening." Percy, Thalia, Annabeth and Nico say together with shocked faces. Because laying in the middle of the throne room was Zoe, Silena, Beckendorf and Bianca.
The whole throne room was in shock. Standing before them were the heroes, from the Titan war that are supposed to be dead. Yet here they are alive.
"Hades what is the meaning of this?" Zeus bellows at his older brother. But Hades wasn't paying his younger brother any attention, because his focus was on his daughter.
"Bianca, my d-daughter." Hades says with his voice cracking, while making his way toward her.
"Dad, Nico, I've missed you guys so much." Bianca said with tears in her eyes.
Nico suddenly runs and tackles his sister in a bone crushing hug crying like there was no tomorrow.
"I missed you, sis." Nico says while wiping his eyes clean. "Hazel, come over here and meet our sister." Nico continues saying with a smile.
"Nice to finally meet you, Bianca. I heard so much about you." Hazel says with a nervous smile.
"Get over here, sis." Bianca replies with a smile while bringing her younger (technically older) sister into a hug also.
"How are you even here? This is against the ancient laws. They are going back where the dead belong." Thundered Zeus.
"You will not lay a hand on our children Zeus!" Yelled half the Olympians.
"I am the king my word is-." Once again Zeus is interrupted, but this time by violent shaking of the throne room.
"Dad are you doing this?" Percy asked his father, trying to keep from falling
"It's not me. This power is much stronger." Poseidon says back shocked out the power that is shaking the room.
The heroes shall answer the call in our time of need.
"Where's that's voice coming from?" Piper asked looking around for the source.
"I don't know, but we should- Piper your fucking glowing, and no I'm not saying that in flirting way." Leo says freaking out a little.
"The hell. We're all glowing." Thalia says looking at herself and everyone around her.
"What's happening to us?" Annabeth asked also freaked out.
"I have a feeling we're about to find out." Nico answers. Just like that the demigods disappeared.
"Where did they go." They're parents asked.
(Witcher's Counsel Planet Carter)
"Is it them? Are these the heroes we've been waiting for?" Says a voice
"Yes they are. These are the heroes." Says another voice
"Are you sure it's them Mareubo?"
"I'm not sure Albus. I'm positive. They can put an end to this evil." Mareubo says
"I hope you're right about this Mareubo." Replies the same voice.
"Don't worry Lucas. I am" says Mareubo. "Bring in the heroes" he continues. A door opens on the other side of the room revealing, Thalia, Zoe, Bianca, Selina, Piper, Reyna, Hazel, Nico, Frank, Beckendorf, Leo, Percy and Jason.
"Who are you, and why have you brought us here?" Jason speaks first.
"Do not worry no harm will come to you. As for who we are is simple. We're known as the Witcher counsel: My name is Mareubo, and these are my fellow counsel members Albus and Lucas. You are here because we need your help." Mareubo answers truthfully.
"What do you need our help for? Also what the Hades Is a Witcher?" Asked a suspicious Leo.
"We Witcher's are monster hunters, we're also the planets deadliest worriers. We have the eyes of a animal which allows us to see better and farther, our hearing is more improved including our since of smell, quicker reflexes. When can even cast a variety of spells or signs to help in combat." Lucas answers this time.
"As for your help." Albus continues on. "There is a darkness coming, a darkness that could end the very life on this planet, along with countless others." Albus finished saying with a serious look.
"Do you know what this darkness is?" Asked Percy speaking up.
"We do. They're call the Wild Hunt, other wise known as Wraiths. And they haven't been seen in many years." Mareubo says.
"Still doesn't explain what we're doing here." Annabeth says with serious yet thoughtful look.
"Long ago there was a Legend that foretold of when the Hunt would return, but when they do return. Heroes would answer the call when summoned. To fight this evil and defeat it once and for all." Albus tells the group.
"So will you please help us end this evil?" Asked Mareubo sounding hopeful.
The group of heroes look at one another with a silent understanding pass through them. Before looking looking back at the counsel with smiles on their faces.
"We're in." They say together.
The three Witcher's say their thank you with relieved and hopeful smiles on their faces.
"So does that mean we become Witcher's ourselves?" Asked a pumped Leo.
"Ya how do we become Witcher's anyway?" Frank also asked.
The counsel nervously laughs.
"Well that's the hard part. Since your all not born like this. We're going have to do this the hard way, and it's going to be painful." Lucas tells them.
"Aw shit," everyone thought.
(End Flashback)
"Gluttony...Gluttony." Axii says bringing him out of his thoughts about the past.
"A lot has happened since then." Gluttony replies smiling to himself.
"It sure has. Not to mention the life of a Witcher is kick ass." Axii says also smiling.
Gluttony and Axii both laugh thinking about their lives as Witcher's.
"Does make me wonder what the others are to up though." Gluttony thought aloud.
