As we traveled Revan told me about werewolves and our powers and I found out he was sixteen. He gave me a pair of sunglasses stating that if our emotions got the better of us our eyes would change to the color of our wolfs eyes. I taught him how to handle his sword better. So we taught each other what we knew.
Revan's sword was a straight katana. The blade was three feet long. The guard was like a medieval western style guard covering his pointer finger while the other side covered his thumb. The blade was straight and double edged and went to a point. The grip was wrapped in leather like riptide. The sword could turn into this bracelet on his left hand. The bracelet was leather with a circular pendent with a large G on it. The bracelet was enchanted to reappear on Revan's left wrist if he dropped it just like riptide was. The swords name was Grimm.
After a few months traveling Revan and I met a few other werewolves like ourselves. Well Demigod werewolves to be exact. Most of them all teenagers.
There was Derrick a son of Hephaestus. He had a scar from his left temple to the opposite cheek. He could make anything that was imaginable. He had brown curly hair and almond colored eyes. He was sixteen.
Then there was Tanya. She was a daughter of Hades. She was exceptionally skilled with a bow. She was pale just like her half brother Nico. She had black hair that went to the middle of her back. Her eyes were this silvery color that seemed to bore into your soul. She was fifteen.
Adam was a son of Hermes. He was our little thief. The man could steal anything and everything. He had Almond colored eyes. And a mass of brown hair covering his head. He was only thirteen but was a tricky one he could get you in a second with the knives hidden all over his body.
There was Jim but every one called him Doc. He was a son of Apollo. He was African American with low cut hair. He could heal anyone and anything. He had blue eyes that had a look of wisdom to them. He wore polo shirts twenty four seven. He would use a bow occasionally but most of the time used a staff or spear. He was around eighty years old but looked about twenty five.
John was the son of Ares and looked the part as well. He wore a camo jacket and camo pants and combat boots everywhere. He was pure muscle. He had red hair and freckles across his face his eyes were a combination of green, brown, and yellow. He was sixteen.
There was Jane. She was the daughter of Zeus. She could do everything Thalia could do and more. Such as make any sword she wielded could be coated in lighting. She wielded a Bow, Spear, Twin daggers, and Twin swords. She had electric blue eyes and black hair French braided that went down to her waist. She was sixteen.
Together we traveled looking for some meaning in life. Something to fight and die for. Something worthwhile. We all had our reasons for such things. I looked for something that would help me let go of my past. Revan just followed me around. His exact words were 'Family looks out for each other and you're the only family I have left.' Tanya just wanted to be accepted by someone. Someone who would respect her and not look down upon her as so many others did to other children of Hades.
Derrick wanted to find a place that he could work in peace at. Adam was just looking for a place to belong and someone that he could call family. Jim wanted to escape from all the death that he had seen. He had fought in all the wars for the last sixty years that the U.S had been in. We all discovered we were immortal once we became werewolves. We could last through out time as long as we didn't die from unnatural means such as knives, swords, bullets and the such.
John wanted to fight something and we apparently attracted a lot of strong opponents. So he tagged along wanting to fight something. Apparently part of being a werewolf was you had extreme blood lust and your temper would easily be unleashed. So suffice to say we got in fights, okay a lot of fights.
Jane was just a wanderer looking for some place to call home and not be hunted down and be able to raise a family in some sort of peace. Though with the life of a demigod life is never peaceful add werewolf demigod to that and we probably won't ever have a chance at peace.
We all found a sense of family in each other. We all looked out for each other. We had roamed Canada and the U.S for a time looking for a place to stay and make our own. Though every time we tried we ran into problems. Problems such as monsters, Demigods and the worst thing Hunters. I swear they must've carried some sort of grudge against me or something because they just liked to pop out of nowhere.
We had just gotten away from one such instance and were walking towards gods knows where and trying to pass the time by. The forest we were walking through was rather beautiful. Pine trees surrounded us. The scent of pine needles and the wet ground filled my nostrils. A low lying mist covered the ground.
I wore a loose black jacket and an olive drab colored t shirt under that. On my hands was a pair of fingerless black gloves. I also had on a pair of black cargo pants on and a pair of tan work boots.
"Hey Percy?" Asked Revan. He was wearing a black jacket with a crimson red t shirt underneath. He had worn out blue jeans and his usual tan military boots. On his left wrist was the bracelet form of Grimm and black fingerless gloves on both hands. He now stood at a height of six four
"What?" "Do you think there is a werewolf god out there?" Never thought about that before. "I don't know honestly. There might be or there might not." I answered. "Oh come on Percy don't give us that bull shit." Said Jane.
She wore a black sleeveless shirt and a black leather Jacket over that, she had a pair of black cargo jeans and a pair of black combat boots on her feet. She had black fingerless gloves on her hands. On her left hip was a curved celestial bronze dagger and on her right hip was a large steel combat knife. She was about five nine.
Sighing I rubbed the back of my hand and looked up at the sky. "Honestly there are probably gods and pantheons we don't even know about out there. Take for example the roman aspects." By now the others were paying close attention. "The gods were able to keep their roman aspects hidden so well and easily. What's to say there aren't others waiting out there for us? Though I haven't ever heard of a werewolf god or goddess."
"I couldn't give shit if he exists or not. Though if he does it only matters that he's strong enough to lead us." Said John. He wore his usual camo pants and jacket. Under his jacket he had a brown t-shirt. On his feet were combat boots and a knife sheathe was tied to his calf. He was about six foot tall.
"Strength is not all that matters John." Said Doc. He had a pair of glasses on and a long sleeved yellow polo and a black hooded jacket over that. He also had a pair of blue jeans on and a pair of sneakers on his feet. On his back was a quiver of arrows and a compound bow. "Wisdom also helps in the makings of a leader. As well as experience."
John nodded his head though a bit reluctantly to admitting he was wrong. Revan gave a small snicker at that. Ever since they met they had a rivalry of sorts. Jane just rolled her eyes at both of them and continued walking forward. I turned towards the last members of our group.
Adam had on a bomber jacket and a gray t shirt under that. On his hands was a pair of gloves with the index fingers uncovered. He wore a pair of faded khaki pants. He had on a pair of converses. He currently was wiping off smears of dirt off his face using the flat of a dagger as a makeshift mirror.
Derrick was wearing a brown leather jacket and a burnt orange t-shirt underneath of the jacket, he wore a pair of torn up blue jeans with a pair red tennis shoes. He also had a pair of brown leather gloves tucked into his pants. On his forehead were black goggles. He was working on something in his hands and he kept on walking avoiding all the obstacles not even looking up once.
Tanya was bringing up the rear of the group. She had a skull cap on her head and wore a black sleeveless shirt with a denim jacket over it. She had on a pair of black cargo pants with a pair of sneakers on her feet. Strapped onto her left hip was a Stygian iron short sword on her right hip was a trench knife.
"You've been unusually quiet Tanya care to say what's on your mind?" I asked. Tanya shrugged her shoulders before answering. "Nothing really I just got this feeling that something big is about to go down and we're going to be in the center of it." Revan turned and look at her with an expression of utter horror. "Dammit Tanya don't fucking jinx it. Now it's bound to happen. We're going to have to go on some big ass adventure full of danger and life threatening situations probably discover some lost civilization and go fight some ultimate evil bad guy. Seriously What the fuck?" Revan ranted. By the end we were all looking at him oddly. Revan looked around at all of us. "What?" he asked.
"I think you have way to much free time if you came up with that." I said. He looked at me incredulously. Then he looked up and nodded his head. "Yeah you're probably right." Turning around We all continued to walk through the forest talking and joking amongst ourselves. We all knew the peace wouldn't last so we enjoyed it while it lasted.
"Come to me." Said a booming voice inside of my head. I stopped mid step. I looked around and noticed all the others also stopped and were looking around trying to find the source of the voice.
"Come find me." Spoke the voice. The voice was deep and sounded sorrowful. "Come set me free of these chains." Then images assaulted my mind. They showed a valley surrounded on both sides by pine trees. At the bottom was a river. The valley led up to a large mountain. The images then showed the path to take up the mountain and then the entrance to a large cave.
I could hear the breathing of some sort of monstrous creature from inside. Then the images stopped. I was kneeling on the ground and clutching my head in my hands when I came to. The others were in similar positions. I groaned as I rose to my feet. Revan stood up and pointed an accusing finger at Tanya. "I told you not to jinx it, but nooooooo. You just had to go and jinx everything." In response Revan got a boot to the head courtesy of Tanya.
Revan got up off the ground while making sure Tanya wasn't going to chuck any other things at him. For good reason too. She once started throwing knives at him after he took her cookie when she wasn't looking. Funniest day ever. "So what now?" asked Doc. Everyone looked at me. "Why are all of you looking at me?" I asked.
"Well you are our leader." Said Jane. "Since when?!" I shouted. They all rolled their eyes at me. "Since you have more experience than most of us dealing with prophetic dreams, magic, monsters and the such." She replied.
"So as I said before. What now?" asked Doc. I sighed and looked around. "Well did anyone recognize those places?" I asked. "Yeah I did the valley is about twenty miles west of here." John replied. "Well then." I said while clapping my hands together behind my back. "I've found it better to not ignore these visions and go do whatever this thing wants. So it looks like we got a long journey ahead of us let's get going."
All the others nodded their heads and head off towards the west. Whatever that thing was it was powerful. And ancient it would not be wise to keep it waiting.
