So I'm Back! Sorry for the long delay, I don't really have a proper explanation other then I lost interest in this story for a while but I'm back with the next part!

I am planning on making these chapters episodic. Each episode (hopefully) dealing with an aspect of what it means to be a demigod during this time period. So I hope you like it.

Chapter 2: The Witch part 1

"Any Ideas?" Cassie asked him as they were both crouched behind a rock.

Jack strained his neck to look over the rock and saw the drakon sitting their waiting for his next meal. Around the drakon's neck was a golden collar with a golden chain attached to it leading from the collar to a point beyond it where the chain disappeared completely. Hidden behind a veiling spell, where the witch they needed to speak to was hiding.

"No" Jack said as he clutched his shepherds crook harder a sure sign that he was angry.

"If there was enough water hear I could drown it easily" Cassie said with a sigh clutching her wineskin filled with water.

"We could try and leave and go around another way?" Cassie proposed.

Jack shook his head. "You know why we can't do that" Jack stated with a sigh. The drakon was apparently one of the guards to the house of a very powerful child of Hecate who had apparently gone rogue three years before. Cassie and Jack had been sent to either convince her to come back, or to eradicate the problem altogether – neither Jack nor Cassie liked the idea of eradicating the problem. However neither of them could exactly ignore the fact that Elanore was doing damage to the mortals in her bid against the gods. Her recent expoit alone had killed 8 people (including 2 demigods) and had injured another dozen.

Neither could deny that Eleanor was powerful – having been able to bring a drakon under her complete control, couldn't have been easy, yet, after her most recent attack no one could say that she was better left on her own.

Cassie sighed and pulled her pin out from her hair the pin immediately transforming into a bronze sword of around 3ft high. Jack slammed his shepherd's crook to the ground and it transformed into a spear with a bronze leafed shaped tip.

"Ready?" Cassie asked staring at Jack. Jack nodded to her and together they stood to face the drakon.

Immediately the drakon reacted spraying them with acid Cassie in a split second ran in front of Jack and lifted her arm a giant circular shield sprung out from the shield protecting her and her partner from most of the acid (Though she could feel some drops of acid eating away at her shoes).

Jack immediately went to work illusions of mist creating multiple versions of themselves.

Cassie for not the first time felt envious of her friend for the amount of control he had over the mist, she didn't dwell on it for long when the drakon then rounded on them.

"Damn it I forgot" Jack said angrily. "Most mythical creatures can't see through the mist"

Cassie unscrewed her wine skin and pulled water out with her hydro kinesis solidifying the water in front of her solidifying the water just enough to stop the acid from touching them.

"Any ideas?" Cassie asked. "We can't just stab him his scales are impenetrable, and stabbing him in the mouth isn't an option that's where the acid is coming from.

Jack said nothing just stared at the drakon for a few seconds before he finally spoke up. "I have an idea" Jack said slowly.

"Do tell" Cassie said as the drakon spat acid at them again.

"It would involve one of us being the distraction" Jack said. "While the other sneaks up behind him and chokes him to death."

Cassie nodded. "Ok" Most of his plans were the reason they were both still alive.

"If you notice, the drakon shuts its eyes when it's attacking us" Cassie looked and realized that Jack was indeed correct. As it was spitting acid the drakon eyelids were shut tight.

"If we time it correctly one of us could distract him, while the other runs to attack him from behind, one of us would have to choke him."

Cassie nodded before asking the question that she already feared the answer too. "Who'll be the distraction?"

Jack smiled that mischievous smile of his that always had her heart pounding, she was about to respond telling him that he was an absolute moron, when the drakon attempted to hit them with its acid again.

Jack took that chance and stepped out from the shield and ran towards the beast smacking him hard on the side of the head.

It worked the drakon turned its head and in that second Cassie dropped her shield picked up the sword that she had dropped in her haste and ran toward the monster.

Jack laughed gaily as he jumped out of the way as the drakon attempted to spray him with more acid.

Cassie wasted no time as she jumped on the drakon's back and using her sword as the garrotting string slowly strangled him to death.

The drakon did not want to go silently and thrashed violently as Cassie held on, tightening her pull on the sword blood trickling down her forearm as the blade cut into her palm.

With strength she didn't know she even possessed she pulled hard on the dragon's neck. It took several moments but eventually the drakon stopped moving, before disappearing into dust.

Cassie fell to the ground "Oof" She ground before standing back up.

"You're bleeding" Jack said staring at her cut. Cassie rolled her eyes. Before holding out her and the water she had spilled when she had dropped the shield came toward her. She wrapped the water around her cut hand watching as it miraculously healed itself.

"Not anymore" Cassie sang. "Come on let's go this witch."

Cassie telekinetically placed the water back into her wineskin pouch before Jack and Cassie made they're way to the mist shrouded castle.


For those of you wondering, no it wasn't a dragon, a drakon is a monster that looks like a dragon but tends to be smaller in size (I can't remember if it's wingless or not) had it been an actually dragon, Cassie and Jackie would most likely have been incinerated in seconds.

Hope you enjoy the next thing I have planned!
