A lot had changed for Harry since he had been claimed by his Mother, Athena. For one, he was now living within the Athena Cabin, it was nice, a large library adorned one of the walls, the bedrooms were large and spacious, and best of all, he and Annabeth were Family, their friendship had turned into real familial bond, they would study together, spar together, eat together, they were near inseparable.
Another thing that had changed was his appearance, his hair was now lighter, it was much more blonde than it was before, his eyes stayed the same, but his body grew slightly taller, thanks to this, his body was now more toned, his muscles displaying more prominently than before. Harry could remember the moment he was claimed when the symbol had vanished, and the campers and Chiron were no longer bowing, he was told to pack his things, and move to Athena's cabin. As he walked through the threshold, he felt like there was an invisible door in front of him before it was gone, and he was allowed to enter, when he did, a feeling of peace and serenity filled him, he felt at home. That night he slept comfortably and without nightmares. He had also begun to work out more, lifting more and more weights and running around the beach tracks that adorned the camp, Harry had transformed from a skinny to learn
...
"So, Son of Athena aye, explains your love of the Library", Harry heard this coming from above him, as he raised his head out of the book he was reading, only to spot Sam standing above him. Harry quickly smiled and pulled the Satyr in for a hug, "Sam, I've missed you, where have you been"
Sam smiled back at Harry, he was now sporting a leather tunic, his gloat legs proudly displayed, Harry had also noticed he now had 2 horns curling through his hair. "I've been busy pal, finding new Demigods and alerting Chiron when needed".
Harry nodded back to him, he and Sam had a long chat before he had left about his role in his life, it was a comforting feeling when his friend had confirmed he really was his friend, not just a cover story to get closer to him.
"Nice Horns", Harry mutters, quietly laughing at seeing them.
Sam nodded back proudly, "Yea they're sprouting through, anyway, I didn't just come here to chat, Mr. D wants to see you".
Harry gulped, after learning about this place, and finding out the cantankerous man that was the camp director was the God Dionysis, freaked him out.
Harry just nodded and made the trek to the Big house.
...
"Mr. D, you sent for me", harry said as he arrived at the big house, as he finished speaking, he gave the god a short bow, if Mr.D appreciated this, he had no idea, but the god didn't look quite as angry.
"Yes, Harold Poiter, good, good, your presence had been requested in the attic", As he finished, he flourished his fand, and as reality warped around the table, a can of Cola appeared and the god drank deeply. Harry just nodded to the god and with a quiet "thank you" made his way to the attic.
...
As Harry made his way to the attic, he was silently freaking out, he was told about the spirit of Delphi that lived in the attic, she would request Demigods to her and hand out quests, and it looked like it was his turn.
As he opened the door, he was assaulted by the smell of smoke and incense burning in the room, as he turned to his right, he saw her, the Oracle, she was an odd skeletal figure, her eyes glowing bright blue, her voice raspy.
"Haraldir Potter, you have finally made it" The Oracle muttered, her voice raspy and faint.
Harry walked over to her, and looked at her in confusion, "My name is Harry"
The Oracle simply chuckled at him, "No child, that is not your name, your true name is Haraldir, but I have not called you here to tell you your true name." as she finished, she stopped hunching over and stared at him, she breathed in a loud, harsh breath.
"You shall go east, and reclaim that which was taken, you will go to the place of ice that is filled with greenery. There you will find a tomb, located at a lake created by the gods, guarded by monsters and curses untold. In the tomb, you shall find a weapon, a weapon of great power, one you will need to reclaim to gain your true self".
As the Oracle finished, the light left her eyes, and her body slowly hunched back over.
...
"..Where you will gain your true self", Chron repeated, after exiting the attic, he met Chiron who was waiting for him, he explained the quest and what was said, even the surprise at his true name.
"Well, to the east of us, to a place filled with ice and greenery, would be Iceland, but the tomb, I have no idea". Chiron told him
"Well, I remember learning about a lake, one of the great wonders of the world, it was a lake in Iceland, it was called Mývatn, I think, so I guess that could have been created by the gods, none is ready sure how-to was created", Harry replied. Chiron nodded to him, it was a good thought.
"Then you must prepare Harry, gather some supplier, I will meet you by the gate, Argus will take you as far as he can", Chiron replied looking at Harry.
...
It hadn't taken long for Harry to pack, what had taken the longest was stopping Annabeth from trying to join him, he wasn't told he could bring anyone with him, so he would have to go alone. He had packed a small rucksack containing a collection of clothes, food, maps, and a small amount of Ambrosia, just in case.
After saying goodbye to Annabel, he made his way to the entrance of the camp, as he walked, he was quickly joined by a somber-looking Luke, "Hey Harry, I just wanted to wish you luck on your quest, I know firsthand how difficult these quests can become", as he finished, he gave Harry a quick hug and a small pat on the back.
As Harry continued to walk forward, he spotted Chiron and Argus waiting for him at the entrance, stepping forward, Chiron placed his hand on Harry's arm, "Harry, I wish I had more time to train you, but trust your instincts and your magic. I even have this for you", Chiron presented Harry with a metal doru spear, it was made of celestial bronze, as Harry grasped it, he could feel the magic coming off of it, he looked to Chiron, a confused expression on his face.
Chron chuckled slightly, "It's a simple enchantment, it can shrink itself on command, easier to hide", as he heard this, Harry willed the spear to shrink, instead of the 7-foot spear it was now a small dagger, with the metal body now acting as a handle. Harry placed the spear in his front pocket.
"Argus will take you as far as he can, good luck Harry", Chiron said, and with a nod, walked back to the camp.
Harry breathed deeply, trying to ready himself, as he looked back to Argus, "Can you take me to Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal".
...
Harry had been traveling for the last three weeks, he had managed to get a boat across from New Jersey to Reykjavik, the trip alone had taken him around 5 days of traveling, he was given a small amount of Dracma from Argus but he couldn't use that on the mortals, so he had to use magic, as the arrived Newark terminal, he willed his magic to confound the ticket seller, to make it look like he had already paid, he had to do this a few more times.
After arriving at Reykjavik he had begun traveling to Mývatn, he had managed to get passage on a tour bus that was taking tourists to a local town, from there he began to walk the rest of the journey. He had managed to stop at a few of the towns, he had been lucky that he had not run into any monsters, so he decided to stop for a night in the town a few miles from Mývatn, that night was a dream come true, he slept on a real bed, ate real food and wasn't being bothered by passengers.
8 days into his trip, he had arrived at Mývatn, it was huge, the water of the lake was the bluest of blues, it was filled with lush greenery and it took Harry a few moments to simply stop staring at it. Harry decided to mark where he was and walk the length of the lake, hoping his magic would pick up on the tomb. It was a few hours later that Harry's luck won out, after walking for what felt like hours on end, he was stopped by an unseen force, as he did, he felt something pulling him, he looked around but couldn't pinpoint where the feeling was coming from. He closed his eyes and tried to sense where the feeling was coming from, and he found it, it was coming from below.
Harry had used his magic to pull out large chunks of earth, it had taken around 2 hours, but he finally hit the tomb, after jumping down the hole, he dusted himself off and lifted his hand, as he did, he willed light to come into being. As he looked to his right, he saw the tomb, it was massive, the door was made out of blackened stone, and it had runes running all alongside it. As Harry stopped and looked, he found that he could actually read the runes, following the runic symbols across the door he worked out what they all meant, one read 'Trial Of Three', another simply said 'Death Inside', the last one was at the center of the door, it simply read, 'Blood To Enter'
"Great, just great", Harry muttered as he stared at the door, grasping his shrunken spear, he cut his hand, and smeared the rune with his blood. as the Blood seeped into the rune, the door began to rumble, and as the stone began to fall from the roof, a section of the wall dropped into the floor. Soon Harry was staring down a dark and empty passageway, "Even Better" Harry grumbled to himself, with his hand aloft lighting the way, he grasped his shrunken spear and began to walk into the tomb.
...
Harry had been traveling through the tomb for what felt like hours, in reality, it was just thirty minutes, in that time he had already passed two traps, the first was a horde of skeleton warriors, but he was able to defeat them fairly easily, with just a simple bit of magic he propelled the skeletons into the wall, they crumbled into dust at the force of the push. The next test was a large circular room, the moment he stepped in, Torches lit up lighting the room, as he looked to the floor, there were small rectangular pads leading to the other passageway, as he looked at the runes, he couldn't make them out, some were just random letters, and one was a symbol Algiz, as he looked at it, he remembered this rune symbolized protection, he stepped on the rune, only for nothing to happen, seeing this, Harry stepped onto the next pad in front of him, only for the instant his foot made contact, the pad fell, leaving a gaping hole in the floor, leading to darkness.
Harry had barely managed to step back in time, as he looked back on the runes, he began to think, 'Protection', If the rune he was standing on was safe, maybe he needed to find similar runes. As he examined the pads in front of him, none of them had similar symbols, but he did spot the runic script that make up the words, he could see an A, L, G, I, and a Z, steeling his nerves, Harry jumped onto the A, and luckily, the stone pad held, he followed the same pattern and soon had made it past the stone pads.
Harry had just turned the corner when he came to the final room, the room was freezing cold, so cold he could see his own breath, as he entered the room, standing in front of him were at least twenty beings, they were huge, at least ten feet in height, they were all blue-skinned, searing red eyes and ice seemed to be emanating from their bodies, so much so that it looked like dry ice were being let out from the room.
As Harry stood there, they began to come to life, as though they were frozen on the spot, soon all of them were free, and one by one they created ice weapons, some had simple icicles, but some had created even spears and hammers. Harry quickly grasped his spear and expanded it fully, and with one hand on his spear, he created a large ball of fire in the other.
As one ran to him, Harry quickly threw the fireball at the monster, it struck it in its chest, causing it to be thrown backward and topple the ones directly behind it as it fell, Harry moved forward, he quickly jabbed one in the center of its chest, as it fell, he ripped it out and spun, and he did, the spear spin with him, decapitating two other frost giants on the process. As he finished spinning, he created more fire with his free hand and waved it out from him, it hit a few frost giants and they crumbled into dust, before he could move, one of the giants came from his side and body shoved him, Harry sailed through the air and hit the stone wall Hard, as he landed, he looked up and flung his hand out, pushing the frost Giants back across to the stone wall, where they fell.
Harry quickly stood and brandished his spear, with a jump forwards he pierced one of the giants through the eye, and he pulled it backward he got to one knee and span around, slicing into the midsections of three of the giants in front of him, they all sunk to the floor holding their stomach's. Harry was soon back on his feet and conjured a large wooden spear, he quickly sent it away from him and it soared through four of the giants that were behind each other as they ran at him.
There were only a few left, Harry quickly shrunk the spear and used it as a dagger, the first he ran to and tackled it to the ground, where he stabbed the spear through its eye, as he ripped the dagger out, he looked up at the ice giant that was running to him, brandishing an ice mace, he quickly threw the dagger at it, and with liberal use of magic, made it soar through the ice giants throat.
As he began to stand, one of the ice giants had manage to get behind him, and it grasped Harry's arms and held it behind his back, as it did, the last Frost Giant ran to him, holding an icicle to impale him, before he could reach him, Harry used all his strength to drop to his knees and force the giant holding him to fall forward, only for him to be stabbed through the back by the other Frost Giant. As Harry stood, he simply gave the last frost giant an uppercut using every ounce of strength he had, as his fist connected, the frost giant's head snapped up, and its head come from its body.
With all of the Frost Giants dead, harry dropped to his knees, breathing heavily, blood pouring from the cuts he had. As he knelt there, he looked around and noticed all the frost giants had turned into golden dust, leaving nothing behind. After a few moments, Harry had caught his breath, and quickly rummaged through his back and ate a small amount of Ambrosia, allowing it to heal him.
Harry steadily stood, finally able to stand and not feeling so exhausted, he held out his hand and summoned back the shrunken spear, with the spear back in his possession, he then walked through the final tunnel creating more light from his palm to guide his way. As he walked he came across another large circular stone door, with the light in his palm Harry was able to see it clearly, the circular wall was simple polished stone, it had no blemishes, no moss, no cracks, all it had, at the center of the circle was the symbol of a Hammer. As Harry walked forward, he looked at the rune, it looked so familiar, as though he had seen it before, he just couldn't remember where, before Harry realized it, he had placed his hand directly on the hammer, as he did, he felt a course of lightning shooting from his palm all across his body, yet he did not feel pain, he felt rejuvenated, he felt the power of the lightning coursing through him. As the lightning ended, the stone wall rumbled and in the same way as the other, it slowly fell to the floor.
...
The moment Harry made contact with the new room, torches lit all across the room, illuminating the large structure, as he looked around, it looked like an inverted pyramid, with steps all leading down to a small square platform, as Harry stepped down each step, he could feel his body beginning to tingle, it was not until he made his way down to the final step and stood on the platform that something within the center began to appear, as though it was being cleared form an invisible mist until finally, a large one-handed war hammer was encased in rock, its handle pointing towards Harry.
As Harry circled the hammer, he was able to see it in more detail, it was shaped similar to a T with it curving at the bottom, the body of the metal hammer was covered in symbols that Harry could not decipher, and the handle was a combination of wood and metal, with leather straps adorning the handle. As Harry stared at it, he felt something, like a voice in the back of his head telling him to take the hammer, and pick it up.
Steeling himself, Harry grasped the handle, it fitted perfectly in his hand, and with all his might, he pulled. As he pulled, the stone holding the hammer cracked and crumbled, until it fell away. As it all fell away Harry was holding the hammer aloft in his hand. It was beautiful, the hammer felt perfectly balanced in his hand, its weight was perfect for him, in that instant he knew he had found his weapon before he could think more, a loud thunder clap was heard over head, and the Hammer and Harry's body was covered in lightning, Harry felt amazing, like a perice of him that wa missing was returned, he felt alive, he felt powerfull, soon the lighting stopped, as it did, his mind was flooded by knowledge of the hammer and what it could do, if he threw the hammer, it would return to his hand, it could channel the storm and bring down lighting from the heavens, and the best feature, it could only be weilded by Harry himself, the final feature was an interest one, it could turn itself into something inocuous, so Harry willed it and it transformed into a metal ring, with a symbol of the hammer at its center, it fitted perfectly on his middle finger on his right hand, and he knew with just a thought, it would turn back into its true form.
...
The trip back to the camp had been an arduous one, just getting out of the tomb had been difficult, he had to go back the same way he came, once he got out of the tomb, night had fallen, and he walked back to the same village as before and spent the night in a small inn. He used the same method of travel as last time, and a little over a weak later, a thoroughly exhausted Harry was walking back through the gates of the camp, the second he walked through the forest and came to the main square, Annabeth was the first to spot him, she froze where she was, and then as fast as she could run to him, and hugged him with as much force as she could muster, "Harry, I've missed you so much, how did it go, what did you find, did you encounter any monsters" Annabeth asked in rapid succession, he cheeks turning pink from speaking so fast, Harry simply chucked at her, before he could speak, Chiron and Mr. D Came over, "Harry, your back, you have completed your quest", Chiron said happily, as they walked over to him, only for the pair of them to stop freeze in their place, they both zeroed in on the new ring Harry was wearing. "Harry did you complete your quest", Chron asked, still staring at the ring.
Harry nodded, "I did, I found the tomb, defeated the monsters and the traps, and was what was in there", as he finished, he filled the hammer to come into its true form, and as he did, Chiron and Mr.D both stepped back slightly, "H..Harry, do you know what that hammer is," Chron asked, now staring straight at the hammer Harry was holding.
"It's a war hammer, I think it's Norse in origin," Harry said, as he threw the hammer up in the air, it soared to the heavens, only for Harry to will it back to his hand.
"Harry, that is Elding, the hammer that was created for the God Thor before Mjolnir was fully crafted, it was said that it was stolen by the Frost Giants," Chron said, still staring at the hammer, he and Mr.D had followed the hammer as harry threw it to the sky's and back to his hand.
Before Chiron could say another word, a large thunderstorm was seen overhead, and as lightning began to form in the clouds, a clap of thunder was heard, and above Harry's head, the symbol of Mjolnir formed, it was soon paired by the symbol for Athena. No one spoke, no one moved, they stood, transfixed at the sight before them, Chiron was the first to break his silence, "All Hail Haraldir Potter, son of Thor, the god of Thunder, Strength, Fertility, and Consecration, and Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, Civilization, Mathematics, Strategy, Defensive Warfare, Crafts, the Arts, and Skill
...
Harrys War Hammer, Elding, is the same design as Mjolnir from God Of War
