Hey guys I'm back I know I have been gone a long time, school is giving me a shit ton of homework and I am totally addicted to fortnite, and PUBG, and Cod, and destiny. Basically im addicted to video games. I have out of nowhere gotten like 8 followers, like 10 months after the story was last updated, and that reminded me that I need to start writing Fanfiction again.
Sorry guys, I know you guys decided you want the pairing to be pertemis, but after finding out how i want my story to go I can't decide if i'm going to make it a PerZoe or a PercyxHestia. Sorry guys, I don't know how to write a relationship, but in my eyes, those relationships would fit in better with the story and I don't want to make Artemis too OOC.
I also have another thing to say. I'm ending the backstory here. It would have taken too long to finish writing. I will put in some flashbacks here and there, that will explain some of the plot, and i know that the first chapter was trash, i'm not going to rewrite it, so you're just going to have to deal with it.
"= speaking out loud
'= thinking.
Present day: 3rd Person POV
A man sat in his penthouse in New York, overlooking the bridge and the city. The mortals where right to call this the city that never sleeps. 'Cuz everyone on the fucking streets definitely didn't let this man get any sleep.
The man sighed and said," At least it's quiet in hell." Perseus said as he was getting up from his comfy leather chair to get some whiskey, after all, he was not having a good century… or two. He wasn't stupid, but he was paranoid, after all, Kronos was rising. '
1st Person POV (Perseus)
He barely took down Kronos eons ago, now Kronos is back, smarter and more cunning than ever. Eons to think? Of course someone would get smarter, but they would lose most of their ability to fight. But that doesn't matter, power over time? Name a more overpowered power.'
Unlike Kronos, he was fighting most of those eons, so he got smarter, stronger, and faster. Most of the Olympians could also tell the Kronos is rising, well, only about three. Unless you count Hades and Hestia as Olympians. Athena, Apollo, and Poseidon could both sense that Kronos was rising. Apollo because he is the god of prophecies, Athena because she is wise, and Poseidon, well, Perseus told him.
Perseus could tell there was a war coming, he thought as he sighed. He could only imagine the amount of souls that were going to go into his domain. He didn't need to go into Hades' realm and steal souls anymore. No, now that the Christian religion exists, people that believed in Christianity would go into Hell. Only the best of the best went into heaven.
He chuckled a bit as remembered the looks on people's faces when they realised that the Bible is a big lie.
'The Olympians have already sent a couple of quests, and Zeus is starting to realise the threat at hand. The "Michael" kid, a son of Poseidon, he seems interesting, he's starting to get a grip of his demigod powers. It's just that his ego is getting in the way.'
"Tssssss" I turned around, and i saw an Iris message forming. (Kind of like how doctor strange opens portals) I see who it is and i instantly start smiling, It's Hestia.
"Hellooo" I say as I wave. She replies with a heartwarming smile while saying, "Hii! Can i request a favor from you?"
I sit on the arm of my couch. "Mhmm, what is it?" " I need you to rescue two demigods and take them to their father."
Wow, that surprised me, which god has the balls to defy the ancient laws? "May i ask who the father is?"
Hestia's expression suddenly turned serious, "Their father is Hades." I chuckle and shake my head, "so all three of them broke their oath? Understandable." "No, Hades had them during WW2, he just hid them in the lotus casino for 70 years."
"Hmm, interesting. Alrighty then, where are they?" "They are in A boarding school, In Maine, the school is called westover hall,"
"Ok sounds easy" I head over to my closet, I prepare my costume, y'know, just in case some monster comes out.
FEFE FEFE FEFE FEFE FEFE FEFE FEFE FEFE
I teleport to the center of Maine, I don't know where Westover Hall is, but i can definitely sense the demigods, and another presence, and another… 30 presences. I start to get confused. I fly over to where i sense the demigods are, manipulating the mist so mortals just think that i'm either a bird or a plane. I can tell i'm getting closer, I start to see a large building, secluded in the forest, on the edge of a cliff. I can sense multiple demigods inside.
I land on the top of the building. I start to smell around to better know the surroundings. I close my eyes, to paint a picture of what is going on. Inside the building i see two demigods holding hands together, their scent is strong, but they seem young. Most likely the demigods Hestia sent him to collect. But, there is something behind them, a monster. A fairly rare one at that, pretty hard to tell. It smells like a chimaera and a scorpion...wait a sec. So it's a hybrid animal… which makes it a chimaera.
Important Author's Note: I looked up the manticore, turns out that it's not from Greek mythology, it's from persian mythology, and it's nothing like what the book depicted it to be. So, I'm going to make the manticore how it originally was. I'm also making Monsters way stronger here. Back in Ancient Greece and Rome, only very strong demigods could defeat monsters, even one like the Hellhounds, and especially Cyclopes, which in most Fanfictions seem to just be weak monsters. The original Hellhounds and Cyclopes were parts of the primordial race, of course, it got weaker (for some unknown reason that i'm not gonna research.). Back to the manticore, it's basically a lion body with a scorpion tail, that can shoot spikes, but the face is a human. Half the pictures seem to have wings, the other half don't. I'm going to make the manticore without wings.
I'm also sensing 3 more demigods, they've split up, but are both following what i'm guessing are the children of Hades. There is a satyr tagging along behind them. Could he not sense the army of monsters outside? And the fact that there was a monster literally about to kidnap two powerful demigods.
Perseus decided to start doing something about this. He walked along the roof to the outside, where the demigods were being led into a trap.
3rd Person POV:
The manticore led two children outside and turned around to see the doors that he just walked out of. He let the mist that covered his body from mortals to disappear, the demigods would see the manticore for what he is. Clearly expecting the other demigods, luring them all into the army of monsters that were stationed in the forest to his left.
The 3 demigods and the satyr walked out to find two children being held hostage by lion with a tail of a scorpion, and the face of a man. His scorpion tail suddenly tensed, exposing the poisonous spikes that were protruding from his tail. He stuck a spike into the demigods, but pulling it out right afterwards. Not enough poison to kill them, but just enough to make them unconscious
"No! Give them to us or we will kill you!" Michael, the son of Poseidon yelled. His words came out fine, but you could tell he was scared, due to him shaking… pretty badly. The others were nervous, especially the daughter of Athena, Annabeth. Thalia, the daughter of Zeus was just angry.
The Manticore chuckled a bit "Arrogance will be the death of you." The chimaera lunged at the demigods. Thalia opened the shield, hoping the almost exact replica of Aegis would be enough to scare the monster.
The monster didn't even bat an eye. Before it was within 5 feet of Thalia the monster started launching spikes at all of the demigods at inhuman speeds. Due to the fact that he was aiming at 4 people at the same time meant that his aim was a little off. The other 2 demigods took out their shields, while grover ran behind a tree. The spikes bounced off the shields, but they were flying with so much force that the demigods had to take a step back.
Thalia pulled out her spear and started discharging small amounts of electricity through it, into the monster. It was a back and forth, and it even seemed that the demigods would survive the monster that had decimated entire Persian armies before. That was until the manticore lunged at Annabeth, who wasn't paying much attention because she was trying to find a drachma to contact for help. The Manticores scorpion tail stabbed into Annabeth's thigh, it started to pulse, injecting venom into her, causing her to fall unconscious. The monster then lunged into the shield of the son of Poseidon, sending him flying backwards.
Figures in a forest to right of the manticore began to move, it was the hunters. They were going to intervene right before one of the demigods was killed. They were about to move when suddenly something came flying out of the air.
A man wearing black armour with a gigantic cape, it looked to be 100 feet long and 20 feet wide, attached to the suit practically floated through the air. The manticore, unaware of the threat behind him, lunged at Thalia, looking for the kill. Before the monster's tail or claws could touch the girl, the man's cape grew into the ground and wrapped around Thalia, pushing her back to a tree.
The man's cape then wrapped around the tree and pulled, propelling the man in front of the manticore. The manticore started strutting backwards, center of gravity low, ready to attack at any moment. The manticore started throwing barrages of spikes. The man's cape formed into one giant spike, covering all of the mysterious man, but it was quickly advancing forward into the chimaera.
"Now!" the monster yelled as he was jumping to the side, hoping to avoid the giant spike, as soon as he landed and regained his footing, he starting throwing another barrage of spikes, that the cape easily blocked.
A monster army started rushing into the landscape, dozens of Hellhounds and Cyclopes started running towards Perseus. The cape dug underground and came up as gigantic spikes, impaling most of the monsters that were running the towards the man. The cape suddenly sucked up into the man's armor as he started rushing the monsters.
The first Cyclopes in the pack stood at around 10 feet tall, wielding a massive bat that was currently swinging to attack the man. As soon as the bat was about to hit, the man sidestepped and pushed the bat to the side, causing the beast to fall off balance.(like when you swing a baseball bat really hard, but you miss and go off balance and spin.)The cape then retracted from his suit and impaled the cyclopes, in his eye, his genitals, and his heart, you know, to cause maximum damage.
This also caused the Cyclopes that was right next to it get hit in the kneecaps, getting incapacitated. A hellhound the length of an 18 wheeler, with the width of a tank lunged onto Perseus, who met the charge head on
As the hellhound landed, he uppercuts it in the face, breaking it's jaw and having it rise on its hind legs, he pulls out a pen from a pocket in his armor, he clicks the pen and out comes a celestial bronze sword, with the word "Anaklusmos" inscribed into the blade.
(fight scenes are really hard, and boring to write, especially one like this with such basic monsters. Sorry, but i'm gonna have to cut it short.)
Perseus got bored, he retracted ALL of his cape, it was massive, thousands of feet in diameter, when all of a sudden, the cape pulls itself apart into hundreds of long pieces of fabric, each only about 2 inches in width. Each of them, in lightning fast speed impaled all of the monsters.
1st Person POV: Zoe Nightshade
As that man was taking care of the monsters over there, milady Artemis took care of the manticore, and retrieved demigods, where some of our healers where tending to their wounds. We were going to wait until he would have finished up with the army of monsters, so we could take him by surprise.
That was until we couldn't see. That cape was so goddamn big that it was blocking out the sun. causing darkness to ensue on the area.
"FWOOM, FWOOM, FWOOM" that was all you could hear as that cape… or whatever it was, was impaling itself into the monsters. But that isn't what Zoe was looking at, no, she was looking at that sword. It was awfully similar to the one she gave to her boyfriend, 3 thousand years ago.
Woooh! I'm finally done… lol jk this took me like 4 hours xd. I'm getting back into fanfiction, those games that i listed above are now filled with tryhards, it's impossible to have fun in those games. So i'm reverting to Fanfiction. You should see me upload every other week. If you guys are lucky, and i'm feeling motivated, then an update every week will probably be expected.
Thank you guys for all the love and support this story has achieved, even with this bad upload schedule, and the very little chapters that it has. (I have achieved 10k views) And i'm still getting favorites and followers, 10 months after my last update.
K then, see you guys next time!
