In the Mountains of California
3rd Person POV
The shadows began wrapping around Axel as his form along with the shodows appeared to move towards the throne beneath the tree, now visible. It appeared to be made of ice growing straight from the ground though looking as it if had been cut out of ice, for in the sunlight in shone purple.
Axel's shadowded form made it's way in front of the throne and remained there.
(A/N Imagine that he is walking and the shadows are stretching out and grabbing him and wrapping around him, though they are still spreading around the entire clearing.)
The shadows began to peel of of him starting at his feet and moving up. His Saul converse were replaced with black boots reaching partway up his shins. A pair of dark brown pants went down his legs tucking into his boots. Two belts wraped around his waist and on the right side a brown leather bag hung, like a small satchel. Starting just beneath his belly button then crescenting down around his stomach, covering it at the hip then dropping down farther down his back. The shirt traveled up his stomach skimming over his abs tracing them out. Once it past his ribs a peice of metal ran around his torso as the color changed when passed it. Climbing up his stomach it was more black as it got to his chest it turned a dark bronz is color. Two markings rested on the chest part one over the left part the other the right. On the left was a tree with silver leaves the right, a wolf howling up at emptiness, all alone.
The arms of the armor were nonexistent. The armor showed off his arms, tan, lean and strong and rather long as well. His hands, wrists and a bit of his forearms were covered by gloves. The back of the hands were covered by metal while the hands winded like claws. The armor, for it was leather armor, continued up his shoulders ending with some cloth wrapping around part of his neck.
A black cloth covered much of his face. It covered from his nose all the way down to his chin. The cloth wrapped up behind his ears which ended in a sharp point rising up a few inches. His eyes shown just above the mask shining deep blue. His hair though drew all their eyes. It shone white as snow conflicting all the black he wore. His hair dropped around his ears which was ling for a boy. His bangs split over his forehead and then the rest of his hair dropped down the sides of his head, more or less.
He had a sword resting at his left hip, the hilt shining light blue and a sapphire shining in the hilt. Two more swords rested across his back, the straps to them forming an X over his heart.
Axel or whoever he was now sighed as he sat down on the throne which lit up at his touch. His eyes scanned over the group in front of him and he grinned at their dumbfounded expressions, save Artemis who simply looked shocked, happy, scared and again that other emotion all at the same time.
" I apologize," he said," My manners seemed to have slipped from me once more."
He stood up swiftly, unnaturally even, and bowed at the waist in front of the before saying." My true name, or full name I suppose, is Axel Versillius. Prince of the Ice Lords of Old and last remaining member of my species. Any question?"
They all remained in dead silence while he remained bowed at the waist. There were a few tense seconds until it was broken by Phoebe who whipped out her bow and quickly slung an arrow out of her quiver. She was about to load and shoot it at him when suddenly he appeared in front of her. Or more accurately he seems to not teleport but moved from ten yards away to in front of the hunter in under the blink of an eye. He was now in front of her, his arm resting over her neck with a small throwing knife held against her throat.
"You really don't want to fight me, little girl."
She growled and jumped back, pulling her bow string and firing. The grabbed the arrow and broke it as more and more hunters began to join the fray. Soon he was fighting ten at once holding them all at bay without throwing any blows.
He kicked two hunters back into their friends and knocked out another. Jumping back he landed under the tree and spoke, "Call off your hunters Artemis, or they die."
He snapped his fingers and the bad of the tree lit up. Tied to the base of the tree were six figures. Emily, Blake , Annabeth, Lupa, Jason and General Night. Jason General Night and Lupa had minor wounds on them. Annabel's and Blake were bleeding gold blood profoundly from many major wounds. Emily had a cut straight across her chest that was mostly done bleeding. Artemis's eyes widened and she called out, "Stop, hold your fire!"
They stopped when they spotted the hostages and Axel grinned at them. They all stood there glaring at home while he studied them under an unimpressed gaze. Then he pointed his finger at Annabeth and Blake. From his finger fired a blast of white energy which struck both of them. There was a flash than a deafening bang and they were gone, their bodies destroyed all that was left was dust. The tree though wasn't even scorched.
The hunters screamed in protest and Artemis gasped. "We stopped fighting! Why did you kill them!" Thalia screamed.
He shrugged and said, "Oh, no one liked those two anyway. I would have killed them either way. But that aside there are many far more interesting things to talk about. Like the identity of two of the people within this clearing. Two people thought long since dead and missing."
He waved his hand and Alpha yelped as he flew up as if being held by some invisible bonds. He flew over by the tree as Axel moved over to it as well stopping In front of General Night.
" Now then to start. We have General Night. Leader of the Archer division of The Army of Chaos. But, in her past she was known by a different name. She was known as the daughter of Atlas, hunter of artemis and friend as well. That's right, I give to you Zoe Nightshade!"
He took off the hood of the girl and was telling the truth. Tied to the tree was Zoe, unconscious with cuts all over her body.
" Don't worry, I simply had to knock her unconscious so that she wouldn't keep fighting. She is otherwise untouched. But her beside, there is another he that you would all love to talk with."
He moved in front of alpha and reached his hand up to his hood.
" Here is the man of the hour. The leader of The Army of Chaos but he used to be known as so much more. The slayer of the minotaur, retriever of the master bolt, retriever of the Golden Fleece, bearer of the sky, hero of the battle of the labyrinth, bearer of the blessing of Styx, slayer of Hyperion and defeater of Kronos and most famous son of Poseidon.
I give to you the betrayed hero, Perseus Achilles Jackson."
