"In short Greek mythology is real Robin" Philocetes said
Suddenly Chiron barged in.
"Philocetes, his clothes are ripped to shreds, he can't wear them." Chiron said
"Get him the Lincoln green enchanted leather armor set, please." Philocetes said
"Are you sure? That armor is only for Apollo's strongest child." Chiron said
"Chiron, he is the one, I can sense it." Philocetes said
"Wait what do you mean?" I said
"This means that the gods' exile into this cursed forest is over, and we can take our thrones back, from the Titans." Chiron said
"What do you mean I'm his strongest child?" I said
"Well let's begin with archery. Everyone in Europe knows how your skills are the best in Britain. This means that your aim, with the knowledge that you are Apollo's child, renders it immaculate." Philocetes said
"How does it matter that I know who Apollo is?" I asked
"Well, this is how it works, once you know who your parent is , you acquire their traits, as before you had the physical side of Apollo, but know you have some of his powers, some of his traits and some of his mental traits." Chiron explained
"For example if I say, that I was famous for swordplay, am I telling the truth?" Philocetes asked
"No" I said, with a bored expression. You see even before this I had a knack, almost for calling out lies.
"Let me guess, before this you had a talent for persuasiveness, truth telling, music, healing and prophecy." Philocetes stated
"Yes, I did" I said
"That means you're almost as powerful as Apollo!" Chiron said
"Amazing, now what do I do" I asked
"Now you use it to hunt monsters." Philocetes said
"What are they" Chiron and Philocetes groaned, and explained to me what monsters were, demigods were, and what could kill monsters and demigods. After that, I asked if I could see my mom, but they said my scent was too dangerous. It was okay. I could tell, in part to my truth telling abilities, that my mom did not love me. As much as that sucked, I had grown used to it. So then, I began my search. For what? You may ask. My first priority was to rescue any demigods I found, by killing as many monsters as possible with my re-forged with Celestial Bronze bow, and my Celestial Bronze tipped arrows. My next priority was to find the Radiant Ruby bow and arrows. Wait, first let me explain. Each god or goddess has his or her own metal. Zeus has Celestial Bronze, Hades has Stygian Iron, Poseidon has Oceanic Aquamarine, Demeter has Harvest Topaz, Athena has Everlearning Platinum, Ares has Barbaric Steel, Hestia has Fiery Emerald, Artemis has Moonlit Silver, Hera has Matrimonial Tin, Aphrodite has Enchanting Diamond, Hephaestus has Nevermelting Obsidian, Hermes has Quicksilver, Apollo has Radiant Ruby and finally Dionysus has Insanity Copper. Every single god has their own metal, but only some have weapons. As good as Sunlight, my current bow is, I feel as if the Radiant Ruby bow can further enhance my skills. After all it is my father's precious metal. My final priority was that after I had recruited enough Demigods, I was to siege Kronos on Mount Olympus. Simple right? Most certainly not. Then came the day I learnt something interesting. Chiron told me that Kronos was using humans to imprison demigods. So that was when I freed my first 20 men, with my right hand, Will Stutely, being one of them.
December 15th, 1701, Night
I looked at the Nottingham prison. It looked like a medieval castle, square shaped, with four large round turrets on each corner that towered above the regular wall with a handful of bowmen on each turret. On the walls a couple of Cyclops were patrolling, but they looked like humans to the bowmen. Robin gulped this was going to be tough. I noticed one Cyclops isolated from the rest dozing off. I shot him in the neck with an arrow. I must have been at least 1 km away from the prison but he died anyway. I sent up a thanks to Apollo. Then I noticed that all the Cyclopes were running to check on their fallen kin. While they were distracted, I slipped closer to the tower, still under the cover of night. I killed another Cyclopes, and slipped closer and kept repeating this until, no Cyclopes was left and I was 1 metre from the tower. I shot the Cyclopes, and began to climb up the wall using my hunting knives, that Philocetes had given me. I was at the top on one of the walls, and I noticed that the entrances were located where the turrets met the wall. I entered by kicking down the door. I noticed that the turret was empty except for a constant winding staircase snaking down the sides. I got down without incident and then gazed at cell after cell. I realised a flaw in my plan. I couldn't tell which belonged in jail and which were demigods. At that moment, a Cyclops walked in. He sniffed the air and I noticed he was blind.
"I smell the scent of another demigod!" He said
Aaaaaaah perfect. I jumped on him and put my dagger against his neck.
"You were correct." I said
"Please don't kill me demigod, I will do anything" He cowered in fear
"Walk with me" I said
I stopped at the first cell.
"Other than me are there any other demigods in front of you." I asked
"Yes" He said
I opened the cell. I made sure they were demigods by asking about their parents, and the Cyclops was right. I continued the process, until I hit the last cell. So he didn't lie. Just as I was about to leave with my newfound allies, I was stopped by a plea.
"Please, please, get me out of here sir!" A voice cried with desperation
I paused. What if he had committed a crime? I turned around, walked to the cell and gazed in. A black haired man with a ski slope nose was pressed up against the bars, and purple eyes gazed back at me. Purple eyes? I frowned and pulled out a knife. He gasped in fear and shock and pulled away from the bars. So he could see through the mist. I broke the door with it and put it away. I grabbed him and pushed him at the pack of 20 demigods.
"Get moving!" I yelled at them pointing at the staircase
They followed my finger and began to run up the staircase. I followed behind them looking for any wall Cyclopes. We reached the wall, when I realised a second flaw in my plan. How was I to get down? I looked around for a rope. There was a thick rope ladder, but not much else. I looked down past the wall only to see several Dracnae. I pulled up the ladder and cut it into rope segments. I tied the remnants off the ladder together creating the perfect zip line. I saw a firm steady oak in the forest, which I had once climbed on. I tied the large rope that I now had to an arrow and tied a loop on one end. I pulled out a couple of arrows plunged them into the ground and tossed the loop around them. Then I distributed arrows to the demigods. Finally I used an arrow as a hanger and zip lined all the way back to Sherwood. All the demigods followed me, one by one, using their arrow. We reached Sherwood safely.
