MR. D

'I am so bored,' I thought to myself while playing another game of pinochle with our new camp director. I just wish something would happen so I didn't have to deal with losing another round of this inferior game.

It just so happened that I saw another demigod brat coming up to the porch of the big house where we were at.

"Alright kid what do ya want, and who are ya?"

"Oh hi, my name is Austin and I was told to come here by someone called Percy Jackson."

Ah so it was that little runaway that got this kid to come here. I hate caring after these brats. They are nothing but trouble if you ask me. I just called for one of the other brats to talk to the kid and explain things before waving them off.

I may be completely bored with this game but I hate dealing with demigods even more. If I'm lucky then Perry Johnson will get himself killed in the Sea of Monsters and I'll never have to deal with him again! It probably won't happen but a guy can dream, can't he.

DOMINO STEINAR

"Is she going to be okay?" I heard a male voice to my right.

"I don't know." There was a new male voice to my left, but it sounded seven feet away while the one on my right was four or less away.

"Will she die?"

"Probable not."

"So you don't know?"

"I know that she's strong and will not give up so easily."

Maybe I should get up so they will shut up, but my head is throbbing.

"Is this who you were supposed find?" The voice to my right sounded a little annoying.

"My mission is not yet done. That's all you need to know."

"What attacked her?" Oh this is new. That was a girl's voice further off to the right.

"It was three Drakon."

"We could have helped." The boy on my right said.

"You two can barely walk." The male to the left said.

I guess I should get up or something is going to happen.

"Well-" When I started to sit up the boy to my right grabbed my arm. "Wow, easy. You should not be moving."

I pushed him away with with my right arm. "Get the hell off of me."

"How are you feeling?" I opened my eyes looking up to see the boy that helped me standing in front of me.

"I feel like a pub bathroom toilet." I said with an smile and chucked looking down.

I looked to the two to my right. One was a teen with a scowl on his face the other with a girl. She was standing kind of behind of the boy. She looked interested in what was going on, but just a little.

"If you don't mine I would like to ask you some question." The boy was wearing black armor. Cool. "I'm Alex Lupine, you are?"

I looked to him. "I'm Domino Steinar. I'm use to being called Steinar but it's fine earthier way."

"Why are you wearing that armor?"

I looked down. I was wearing an chain main shirt with big holes in it do to the fight. My leggings are brown and I had metal plant armor over them my legs with clad metal boots. Blunt bone white metal plates that cover all around my forearms, it ended an inch or two at end of my elbows. Glittering dark silver metal had very complex in the forearms. I looked back up at him. "I was required to wear this. I had an torso peace but that broke." I tried to remember but time was hard to tell.

"The necklace with the omega symbol, what does it mean."

I pulled the necklace from under my chainmail shirt. An old gray chain with an dust bronze omega symbol hanging around my neck and is under my shirt most the time. Looks old and ancient, like its a several thousand years old. "I just always had it."

"Your swords. Where did you get them?"

I looked to my right. Double swords. Blunt, bone white hilt, the bone metal curving at the ends. The metal blade is a long three feet and a half, inch thick and four inches from on edge to the other edge, five inches in same places. One edge of the swords has sharp curves. Something you think a barbaric sword would look like in a story, with the hard edges. It kind of looked like hard broken waves, something like in old pictures. It's kind of hard to describe. "They where always with me. They're, um, enchanted, in a way." I looked back to him.

"Your training. Where did you learn to fight that way?"

"That was required from me to. I had to fight or die."

"Who trained you?"

"I said enough for now, its your turn. Why did you save me?"

He smirked at that. I guess he found it a good sign that I was giving him trouble. "I was sent to find the Spirit of Sparta and I have good reason to believe that is you."

"Why?"

"My mother told me to find you and that what I set out to do." I just stared at him and I guess he know what I was think because he soon said. "My mother is Ananke Primordial of Fate. So who trained you?"

"I wish there was an easy was to say it but I guess one way is that I lived many lives in witch I fought."

He looked confused. "What do you mean lived many lives?"

"I was really hoping I did not have to say this. I am a Spartan and I was held by Erebus my entire life. He did not let me age fast and as I got older time slowed. I had to live these lives. They where different every time and in these lives I had to learn."

"That explains much." I could feel the to teen to my right staring at me.

"How are you a Spartan but look seventeen?" The girl asked.

"Erebus has the power to do something like that. He's a primordial god Kerri." Alex looked to her when he said that, but soon looked back to me. "Who are you parents?"

"I don't know." I said looked down at the ground closing my eyes. I head still hurt. "Erebus never told me. He just said I'll know one day."

"Well that helps." The boy to my right said.

That got on my nerves. I looked to him. "Like making snarky side comments are helping! How about you make yourself useful and get me some water? I'm parched."

He looked mad and I was holding back. "Get you own water!"

He was know standing in an aggressive. I really wanted to teach this kid an lesson, but as I was getting up Alex yelled. "STOP! This is not helping anyone." He looked to the to. "Lucien, Kerri." They seamed to understand him because they walked around fourteen feet away. "You must understand they are younger then you and me."

I looked back up at him. He was steel looking at them. "What do you mean?" I did see their close, they wear like none I've ever seen.

He looked back to me. "Steinar it's 2012 AD."

I was now really confused. "Whats AC?"

"After Christ."

"What's after Christ?"

"A story the mortals believe in. Sparta has fallen. The beginning of the Spartan rule was 650 BC." I could guess BC was Before Christ and they were counting backwards. "Are you okay?"

"I .. uh." How was I going to respond to that? Just finding out your over 2000 years old is something hard to handle. "I don't know."

"I know how you must feel. I have lived for over 3000 years and watched the world change." I crossed my legs and held the side of my head with my elbows resting on my keens. He probable did know how I was feeling but that did not help. "I'll leave you to your thoughts."

LUCIEN HALEN

I can't believe Alex is actually standing up for that girl. We barely know her and he just lets her in like it's no big deal?

I wouldn't dare speak up against him though, since from what I have gathered on him he would wipe the floor with me even on my best day. He just had this way about him that radiated confidence like he knows what he is doing and what he is capable of. He also gets this look whenever someone pisses him off like he will kill you just for looking at him the wrong way.

Yeah, he was definitely not someone I wanted to make an enemy of. Not only that but he knew something. I don't know what it is but I am going to find out one way or another. I may not trust him completely but I do respect him to a degree. After all, he seems like a natural leader, so it just feels right to follow him.

That girl though, she scares me somewhat, even if I don't show it. She has an aura similar to Alex in that she is a warrior that won't hesitate to cut anyone down who crosses her.

I stood a ways away from where the girl was and saw Alex walk off and followed him.

He stopped at a small clearing before turning to me and saying, " Can I help you, Lucien?"

I don't know how he knew I was here but I didn't let it bother me and asked my question

"Why do you trust her so easily? How do you know she won't stab you in the back when she gets the chance?"

He only sighed before saying in a sad voice, " I trust her because she has experienced a life similar to mine, but far worse. That, and she is a true warrior if she wanted to kill me she would do so in fair combat as is her way. And before you ask I will not say what I know of upcoming events for it is not my place to tell."

He then walked away as if we never had this conversation. He was an enigma that I couldn't quite figure out. I only hope that he doesn't lead us off a cliff or he lets that girl kill me. What have I gotten Kerri and myself into?

ARES

"My Lord Ares it's what you think." I looked turned to see my harpy spies flying to me.

I turned and walked to my personal house on Mount Olympus. I heard the three harpies flying after me. This could not be more aggravating. After all these years he has a daughter! I thought he died so how does this girl keep living?!

"Ares." I gritted my teeth. I don't have time for this, but I could not just walk away.

I turned to him. "Yes, father?"

"We need to talk. I've called the other Olympians. Be in the throne room by nightfall." With that Zeus walked away.

Well, I had time. The sun only came up a few hours ago. I stared to make my way back to my home. No one stopped me this time as I walked down the road. They even moved out of my way. I was not in the mood to talk.

I've been looking for ways to make Percy Jackson's life much harder with out being punished and now I hear of this girl.

I slammed open the front door almost taking it of the hinges. One of the harpies closed it as I made my way to my personal war room. In the center of the room was a round table that was fifteen feet from one side to the other.

It was just a plan black table with a brown surfaces but as I walked up to it I commanded it to awaken. Mountains started to rise on it with water water as well. If you looked close enough you could see people walking, buildings, birds and animals running a flying.

I told it to seek who I want and it moved to the ocean zooming in on a ship. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Why did he still have to be on the ocean! There's not much I can do while he's there!

"Find me the other!" I said slamming my fist down. It zoomed to a thin forest with large rocks everywhere. There are four teens, two boys two girls. A boy and girl where wear normal clothing well the other two had armor. I could feel the anger running over me and the harpies did too because they backed up to the wall.

The girl in armor had a deep blood red mark that starts at the side of her right nostril going up to her eye. Making a triangle at the end of her nose. Then going over her right eye under the brow to turn to the right of her head with a sharp point going above her right ear. When reaching the left end of her neck the mark goes down her torso leaning right. Wrapping around her back back going to her left arm spinning around it to end making her pinkie finger red and the left of her ring finger. She has the same stone face that says she will not fail or die as her father had. Her body is well built. Not really thick muscle but shows a great level of athletic activity. Her skin does not have a deep tan or is not pale, its just in the middle like her father used to be.

I had to kill this girl but first I need to get rid of the Fates' little toy. After Alex is dead I can kill the girl and the other two demigods, if they get in my way.

"My Lord Ares what do you plan to do?" One of the harpies asked walking up to the table.

"I'll need to separate the boy in black armor from the rest. Then take the kill." I said standing up straight. "An ambush should work well, I just need to drive them into this canyon." The canyon had many places that split from one another making it easy to separate them.

ALEX LUPINE

I smirked to myself after getting a vision about Ares little plan. I figured I should go along with it since I always wanted to test myself against an Olympian.

Domino was now walking and her wounds tended to by Lucien. She still had not spoken at all since the big reveal but I left her alone knowing she would talk when she wanted to.

We were now all walking through a canyon heading east towards Camp Half-Blood where I figured the rest of the demigods I needed to gather were there or at least on their way. I could hear the rocks moving as harpies moved along the tops of the canyon ready to drop some boulders to separate us. They must think we are real stupid.

Domino knew what was going on but didn't seem too worried while Lucien and Kerri were oblivious to what was about to happen.

Just then boulders started to rain down on us. The others jumped back while I dove forward. It took a minute or two for the dust to settle and for me to see the way was completely blocked.

"EVERYONE OKAY!?"

"Just peachy," responded Lucien along with agreements from Domino and Kerri.

Taking another look at the blocked passageway I yelled over to the others, "Alright guys just head through the canyon and I'll meet you on the other side."

They yelled back in conformation and I began to walk down the rest of the canyon excited for my little throw-down with Ares.

Turns out I didn't have to wait long for the bloodthirsty war god to show up. He road in on his chariot disguised as a motorcycle while he was decked out in his usual biker gear and carrying a two-handed blade about six feet long.

I cross my arms and say in a disappointed tone, "You kept me waiting jerk-off? I have been waiting to kick your ass for a while now."

My insults got under his skin like I wanted to and he quickly dismounted his bike while saying with a tone full of anger and hate, "Well I'm here now punk and your dead meat. Your babysitters, the Fates, can't help you now."

I outright laugh at this. I laughed for a full five minutes before finally gaining some control and saying in a tone full of humor, " First of all, I can't believe you think that I need the Fates to do anything. I just take quests for them since I am their brother and Champion. And second, how can you expect to beat me when you couldn't even beat a twelve year old son of Poseidon who had practically no training at all? Some God of War you are, meathead."

He gave a cry of rage and charged preparing to split me down the middle with an overhead strike.

I lazily side-stepped him and threw one of my knives into his right calf. He screamed in pain as gold ichor flowed from the wound.

For the next five minutes or so he would come at me only for me to evade him and throw another knife into him. I was only hitting the places that would cause the most pain hoping he would give up already but it turns out he really has no brain inside that thick head of his. Thank Chaos, we have Athena around to think for the idiot.

Ares no stood gasping for breath with his sword point in the ground. He looked like a pincushion with all the knives in him and all of the ichor he was losing. If not for him being immortal, he would have died of blood loss by now.

"Are you done yet Ares? If this is the best the Olympians got, then I am sorely disappointed. Maybe you should go cry to Daddy like you usually do when you don't get your way," I stated tauntingly.

His response was to charge me again but instead of dodging I instead drew my own blade and parried his strike before ramming my elbow into his nose and sending him on his back and making him release his blade.

I put my foot on his throat with my blade ready to pierce his skull. I looked at him coldly while I spoke in an emotionless tone, "You are nothing to me War God. I will spare your life so long as I never see or hear from you again. If I do I will send you straight to the void along with every single one of your immortal children. You have been warned, now leave."

He quickly flashed out along with his chariot. Sheathing my blade I continued my trek happily before finally coming to the exit where Lucien, Domino, and Kerri were waiting.

"What happened to you?" asked Lucien.

I smile at him and say, "Oh nothing much, just whooped the God of War's ass like a boss and made him wet himself in fear. Now let's get a move we've wasted enough time as it is."

It took them a minute to catch up to me since they were all standing dumbstruck for a minute from what I told them. Even though I didn't show it on the outside, inside I was laughing like a lunatic at their reactions as we headed out to find the rest of the demigods.
