" Argh... What is this guy?" Daniel Harmen, One of the Many Son's of Apollo, cried out in pain as he ran away from his assailant. His left leg was bleeding thanks to the six arrows in-bedded into it, and his chest had been torn to shreds from a dagger. How a Simple Monster slaying Mission could so wrong, especially when it wasn't even the Monster attacking them. Just three Figures dressed in Dark Grey Pants and Parkas that seemed to cloak their faces. They had appeared suddenly with no warning, one unleashing Arrows with a ferocity and skill that made even his Siblings and the Hunters Pale in comparison. Another, the Tallest of the Group, swinging Two Long Axes around. The Last, and shortest, wielded magic and a Dagger. Within Mere moments, his group of Five Demigods were reduced to just him, and the Cyclops they had attempted to Slay had escaped safely.

Stumbling out into the Street, Daniel tried to call out for help, mostly from his Father, but the Moment his Mouth Something sharp wrapped out his Throat and yanked him backwards. As he fell, he noticed that it was a Golden Whip. " You really shouldn't have ran, it will only cause you more pain... your father couldn't see what is going around here anyway. The Mist Barrier I placed around here is simply too powerful." Struggling, Daniel tried to get free but simply couldn't. The Shortest assailant stared at him for a moment then lashed out with his knife, slicing through Daniel's throat.

As Darkness overtook him, Daniel realized that the person who killed him... probably was a Demigod around his age... it made him sad, but also brought on a feeling of betrayal...

" You work for Kronos..." that was the last thing he said before he died.

" No, I really don't." Waving his hand, the blood oozing from the Demigod's throat started to float into the air before falling into a metal thermos that suddenly appeared. " Such Potent blood... It will keep our barriers up for some time." Placing a finger on the boy's forehead, he whispered softly. " Incendia..." Instantly the Runes for Fire appeared on the boy's forehead, setting his entire body ablaze the moment the Shortest assailant Stood.

" We have a good Haul, and the Cyclops is safe. Poor guy, he is barely a month old... he attacked a Demigod on instinct, apparently they are his Divine Halfblood sibling and smell like their Mother who abandoned him in the first place." The Tallest Assailant Sighed. " Sierra is taking care of him now... he is extremely emaciated, and is covered in Scars. I think I saw a bullet wound..." She sighed, shaking her head. " Why do Demigods suck so much Mika?"

Mika, the Shortest assailant, shook his own head. " Their parents are bigoted assholes who condition their children to become Mindless soldiers." Without hesitation, he quickly set all of the bodies on Fire. They couldn't afford for anyone to track them down, it would destroy everything they had worked so hard to create over the last few years. " Maya, can you carry the Kids after I put him to sleep? Mist Travel isn't very comfortable for children."

" Sure."

As she left to get the Kid, Mika started to Gather his Magic, shifting the Mist until they had a direct Path to the Nearest Entrance into the Labyrinth. " You two ready?" The Girls nodded, one carrying a bag of Thermos and the Other Carrying the Baby cyclops. Without compunction, they stepped through the Mist then quickly shot into the Labyrinth. From there it was a ten Minutes walk until they reached their Exist. Climbing out, they found themselves on a Spelled Path. It was Rocky, surrounded by trees and Mist of both the Magical and Mortal Kind.

After another Ten Minute Walked they reached what at first glance seemed to be a Forest... then shimmered to reveal a beautiful Woodland Town. Dozen's of Barn Houses decorated the Land, with People of all ages and species walking about. On the Edge of the Town, several towers rested with several armed Guards looking outward, some of which waved kindly at Mika and his group. The Most interesting feature had to be the Silver Obelisk, covered in Glittering Bloodred runes, this is where Mika's group was headed. Well, not entirely true, Maya was taking the Baby cyclops to the Grey Medical Building on the Eastern Side of the Town.

" After all these years, I am still amazed by this Spell Mika..." Sierra whispered towards him, looking happily at the children playing around the Town.

A Little Smug, Mika turned and smirked at his best friend. " You Should be, not even the Gods can see past this Spell." Of course, that was the very purpose of the Obelisk and the spells infused in it. Hiding this Town was absolutely vital so that it's inhabitants could live a happy, Immortal Free Life. If the Gods knew that Both Roman and Greek Demigods and Legacies lived in this town, along side Monsters and Clearsighted Humans... they would flip their shit. The Idea that people could do so much without them, coexisting in a peace the Gods had never achieved would be a blow to their very delicate ego.

Truthfully there was nothing Mika feared more the the Gods finding this Town, it was the Work of Seven Years and some of the greatest Magical work ever done by man. There were over three Hundred people Living within it, coexisting harmoniously... and he had played a part in saving each and everyone of them. They were his family, his children, his people.

It all started about ten years ago, when he was thirteen and thought he was going crazy since he could see Monsters. A Roman Demigod had been on a mission near him and had decided to take Mika into their camp. Trained over a period of three years to be a Roman Soldier, Mika excelled and rose through the Ranks. Having been in a Legion with several Children of Hecate, Mika Learned Magic from Day one and quickly mastered it, something that came in handy when he defected with his best Friend Sierra.

He hadn't been ungrateful to the Camp for taking him in and teaching him so, but Mika could not abide to follow the Gods and their rampant monstrous behavior. Learning of the Greeks, through the Power of Dream Walking, had only increased his loathing. After he and a few others were ordered into a Cyclops' nest to kill the Cyclops in question, Mika and Sierra left with Said Cyclops in hand. After all, the only Offense was the her Mother Venus considered her a shame and thus wanted her dead. Maya had become their closest friend and most valuable ally.

Within Two Years of being Hunted, assaulted, and chased they decided to make a safe place. That alone took several Missions to collect the needed ingredients, six months to create the spells and build the Obelisk, and to collect enough Monster energy and Demigod blood to actually fuel the barrier in question. Difficult but definitely worth it...

" I'll take care of the Barrier, I am sure they will need you in the Gardens." His Wonderful Friend had a way with plants, a benefit of being a Child of a Nymph, and a trained sorceress.

She just smiled and left, going to her girlfriend Maria who was in charge of the Greenhouses and Gardens.

Mika on the other hand placed a Thermos in the Obelisk, watching droplets of Blood float upwards, dispersing into mist and merging with the runes. The Mist around the entire Town swirled, tightening with the addition of such potent divine blood.

All was well... At least as well as it could be with the war going on...

BOOOM! Mika cringed, feeling something crashing into the barrier. Titan Magic... they were found...

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
