I don't own For Honor or Percy Jackson I only own my OCs
"Hello reader. Allow me to introduce myself my name is Slim A Lou Prime. And I would welcome you to the Archives of The Slims, and that over there is my Editor, R.O.W." Slim Prime said pointing at a man sitting at a computer typing away at it.
"Feel free to call him that."
"You know I would react to you calling me that but I'm still pissed at you."
"Don't mind him he is still recovering from a when he got dropped into a cave full of dragoness." Slim Prime chuckled.
R.O.W. Say's nothing only flipping Slim the bird before going back to typing on the computer.
"Anyways this is the first ever For Honor and Percy Jackson crossover so I hope you guys enjoy this little world I put together. I don't have much to say right now so let's get into it."
Wardens, Peacekeepers, Conquers, Lawbringers, Gladiators, and Centurions the Knights, there history of old lost to the revenges of time. There ways for ever lost and their stories told to be nothing more than legends of men in shining armor saving a princess, riding white horses, slaying dragons, and monsters.
Orochis, Kenseis, Nobushis, Shugokis, Shinobis, and Aramushas the Samurai, their ways turned to dust and replaced with technology. The once proud warriors no more, there people trying fruitlessly to capture the same warrior spirit they once had. And like the knights are nothing more than legends now.
Riders, Berserkers, Warlords, Valkyries, Highlanders, and Shamans the Vikings, the lands in which they took for their people nothing more than forest with no trace of human life. The people they used to raid now flourish and spread unhindered. They too have become nothing more than legends.
The Knights, The Samurai, and The Vikings were heroes to their people, now the same people have moved on without them.
Or so they like to think.
"What are you doing?" a women asked as a man was cleaning a stone pizza oven.
The man paid little attention to the women leaning against the table behind him, being too busy with his current task. The man stood at six foot four, his hair was short, and his muscles well defined. He was using a rag to clean out burnt bread that had fallen off the pizzas that had been cocked there earlier in the day.
"You have a Masters in law and here you are starting your own pizza restaurant." The Woman scoffed. "You should be in a courtroom presiding over a case not in here… Markus will you please stop ignoring me?"
Markus finished cleaning the brick pizza oven after she had finished talking. Markus backed up from the oven and turned to face the women talking to him.
"I was not ignoring you. I simply wished to finish cleaning my oven before we started talking." Markus said to his old friend.
"Fine." The women said waving off the mater. "Now will you tell me why it is that your here and not sitting in a office?"
"I never wanted to be a judge, Mira, I just did it to have a Masters in something and given what I am, I felt that law would come naturally to me."
Mira sighed. "You could be making a lot more money then you are now. I'm just saying."
"No you want me to be a judge so when you get into trouble with the law I can bust you out. You Conquerors can never go a year without breaking the law."
Mira smirked. "I prefer the term bending the law, but seriously though why open a pizza place?"
"I always liked to cook, to wield the fire to heat ingredients into the best thing since… Pole-axes." The Lawbringer said smiling at the female Conqueror.
"I can't argue against that." Mira said pushing herself of the table and walking over to the brick oven. "Kind of odd for you to move all the way to New York just to start a pizza business, I mean there is plenty of places you could have set up in Texas."
"I could have but I have lived all my life in Texas, don't get me wrong I loved it there, I just wanted a change of scenery." Markus said starting the oven. "I'm surprised you came all the way up just to see me."
Mira laughed. "Oh, give me a little more credit than that big guy, we were in the same class after all and you were my husband's best man at our wedding."
"How is that Warden? Have you driven him insane yet?"
She laughed again hitting the Lawbringers shoulder playfully. "Nope, he still has all of his brain cells. In fact we got one on the way." She said holding her stomach.
Markus head shot up. "You mean you're going to have a kid soon?"
"That's what happens when you get pregnant." Mira said smirking.
Markus turned to face her. "Wow, you came all the way up here just to tell me that?"
"Yea, and we were seeing the sights so I thought I stop by." Mira said walking over to the exit. "Well I need to go meet William now, I'll be in touch."
Mira was soon out of Markus' sight soon his store was quite once again. It was the end of the day so he wasn't expecting any more customers today. This last pizza that was going in was for him, and any monster that left like coming after him today.
Since he moved here Markus has been attacked a total of twenty times by monsters, all of them thinking him to be a demigod. Even after all this time these monsters still can't tell the difference between a demigod and a human with an abnormal soul. However it wasn't like he was always being attacked by them. Thanks to his holy steel cross he, and other Knights like him, wore around his neck making it hard for monster to smelling him. However it didn't really work if they were nearby, but killing a monster was a walk in the park for someone of his stature.
Markus had just pulled out his pizza when the bell he had set up to ring whenever the door opened sounded. He looked at his watch 6:52 someone had actually came around here this late. Markus slid the pizza he just pulled out of the oven on to a pizza platter before he went to go check just who had entered his store so late.
As he moved over to the main dining room, he used his rag that was over his shoulder to clean his hands.
"Sorry but I'm clos-" Markus started but found his voice leave him when he spotted the beauty that just entered his store.
Beautiful brown eyes looked back at him, making Markus wish he could summon his helmet to hide his stupid looking face. However he could not let a normal know of the supernatural world so he was forced to let the stupid look on his face remain.
The woman before him had warm brown eyes and beautiful black hair. She was perfectly proportioned like she was made by God Himself. That smile that she had on would melt the coldest of hearts, and that she had that scent of wood smoke.
"I'm sorry I thought you were open, I will leave." She turned to leave but stopped when he called to her.
"No, no I just don't get customers this late. Please come in sit down wherever you like." He said before he began moving back into the kitchen bumping into a table as he backpedaled.
The mystery women let out a slight chuckle when Markus backed into the table. She made her way over to one of the tables by the fireplace. Markus came over to her with a notepad and pencil moments later.
"So what can I get you?" Markus asked with the most radiant smile he has ever had on his face.
"I Would like a cheese pizza." She said not even bothering to look at the menu, she knew what she wanted and the pizza he just so happen to make was a normal cheese pizza.
"Well I just so happen to have pulled one just out of the oven." He said be he turned and went back into the kitchen to retrieve the pizza.
As he prepared the pizza for serving his mind drifted to the beautiful lady sitting in his restaurant, and the things he would like to do to her. He caught himself before he went to far down that path but he could feel himself slipping.
Markus summand his pole-arm in its invisible form then rammed his face into the metal pole just below the head. Blood started to trickle down his for head, but his head was clean of those perverted thoughts. He activated one of his feats to heal his wound so his customer would not be alarmed by the blood that would be trickling down his forehead. His wound started to disappear as a green aura surrounded his body for a few moments before it fated.
Once his wound was gone he dismissed his pole-axe and went to deliver the pizza to his customer. When he came into the room where she was sitting he had almost dropped the pizza he was carrying. The beautiful lady was looking into the fireplace, her eyes reflecting the fire making it looking like fire was dancing in her eyes.
Markus recovered himself and walked up to her table to place her order in front of her.
"My lady." He said letting his knight self out without noticing it.
She smiled and returned in a knightly fashion. "Why thank you Sir Chef."
Markus smiled and returned to the kitchen to hit himself a few more times as the perverted thoughts returned tenfold. By the time he had finished cleaning himself off those thoughts he went back to cleaning his workplace as looking at the beautiful women proved too much for even his knightly mind.
The mystery lady soon finished and payed for her food in cash, saying that it was delicious and it was good to see people still cooking using the old ways. Markus was surprised by the old ways comment but let it slide saying his thanks before she left.
After she left he closed up his restaurant and headed to his truck. Once he got to his two door pickup he headed home. Markus lived in a house up in the country away from the city, allowing him to practice with his powers without having to worry about people seeing him. Since Markus lived "out of the way" from anything on the map anyone that turned up uninvited was either a lost hiker or a monster that felt like dying.
Markus' house was a two story house with five bathrooms, eight bedrooms, and a pool big enough to fit fifty people and still have plenty of room to move around in. The reason for the big house was he acted as a sort of unofficial checkpoint for any Knight, Viking, or Samurai passing though the area.
He thought since he was all the way out here he might as well own a place he could help out his fellow warriors, even if they were of a different faction. Sure back in the day heroes from different factions would rarely spend anytime together that did not include crossing swords, but when the United States became a thing the whole faction war thing died out. Sure the Knights claimed United States as a Knight Country but with all the immigrants coming in from all over the world the United States quickly turned into the first Uni-Faction Country to exist.
Sure the Knights and the Samurai had a big war during WW2 in the Pacific but they soon moved passed that and continued to live together in the same Country. Hell even Japan had become a Uni-faction courtly soon after WW2.
After Markus got settled in he turned on the TV and started to surf the channels looking for something to watch. Markus decorated his home with the mindset that people from different factions maybe staying in his home at some point. So he had a mixture of Knight, Viking and Samurai decorations around the house, from paintings, to books, and even food. Anything to make his guest feel at home no matter what faction he or she was from.
Markus went to bed around 9:45 after he took his shower and got into his pajamas. He woke up around 5:26 in the morning, and started his daily routine. Get up take another shower, pray, eat, train, another shower, and then head off to work.
The day was slow only a total of one hundred and twenty people came today. However like before the same mystery lady returned at the same time to order another pizza. However this time she invited him to join her, and with that smile how could he refuse.
The two made small talk as the moon came up over the city that never sleeps. The two asked each other basic questions like where they were born, hobs, likes, dislikes, ect. They spent two hours together before she had to leave, she went to pay but Markus refused saying "A gift to my lady." That earned him a chuckle and a medieval style bow.
But before she left Markus asked one question.
"May I have your name?"
She turned to him and smiled. "My name is Helen."
It had been a whole year since Helen first came to Markus' Pizza restaurant, since then they had become close. She even helped around in the kitchen sometimes, when she came over in during the work hours. Sometimes Markus found himself lost in her eyes and finding his face in a wall, which she promptly laughed at then helped him sit down.
They soon started dating and going out together to other restaurants to eat something. She had come to his home a few times to tell stories and hang out. However he never did tell her about what he was and what he was a part of, she would never believe him.
It wasn't like he could come out and say, "Hey babe I have the soul of a knight and I have monsters that come after me from time to time. But I kick their ass so you don't have to worry about it." What would she say, would she leave him?
He could not run that risk. He could not bring himself to tell her who he was. However turns out she had a bombshell to drop on him first.
"I can't have sex with you." Helen said somewhat hesitantly.
That hit him harder than a Shugoki's Kanabo. Markus was drinking at the time she dropped that bombshell, causing him to spit out the contents of his mouth and cough heavily.
"Where did this come from?" He got out between coughs.
"I thought I should tell you, if we are to continue in our relationship I can't have sex with you at any point."
"Well, I'm not going to lie to you. That kind of sucks, can you tell me why?" Markus asked a little baffled.
Helen was quite for a little bit before she faintly spoke. "Because I am not what you think I am."
Markus instantly became alert. 'Is she a monster that has been scouting me out?' he thought to himself.
In the years that he knew Helen, if that was even her real name, he was not being attacked by monsters anymore. Something was either hiding him or something was scaring them away. And the only person he could point a finger at now was Helen as much as he didn't want to admit it.
Markus got ready to fully summon his gear as he opened his mouth to ask the overdue question. "What do you mean?"
"My real name is Hestia goddess of the heath, Home, and Family." The goddess said looking like she was a puppy that was about to be kicked.
Markus knew of the gods of the Greek pantheon, granted he never knew anybody that has ever crossed paths with one. However that's the thing he just knew about them. He knew that they existed but apart from anything that was not written down in history and mythology he was clueless about them.
Markus hardened his face. "Why are you here?"
Hestia struggled to answer; she knew if she did not choose her carefully she could lose Markus forever. "I was attracted to you because you have a strong devotion to your family and because you have a fire within you that made everyone around you feel safe."
Markus was surprised by her answer. The fire bit not so much because Knights had an affiliation with fire, Like the Vikings had one with Lightning, and the Samurai with nature. The bit that got him was the family part. His parents passed away twenty years ago while protecting a group of young heroes that were trying to get to Texas so they would be safe. He had no blood sisters or brothers… but he did have his battle brothers and sisters of the Knight Faction in a way they were his family.
"What does this mean for us?" He asked his voice softening.
"I would like to stay with you. I have never felt this way before about someone and I would like to continue it… but only if you are ok with it." She said preparing herself for his answerer.
"Sure." Markus said standing up taking his empty plate with him to the kitchen.
Now it was Hestia's turn to be surprised. She expected Markus to turn her down because she had been lying to him all this time, and he would not be able to have sex with her. But he just said sure like she just asked him if she could help in the kitchen at his restaurant. Maybe she had been listening to Artemis a little too much.
She stood up and wordlessly walked up to the Lawbringer washing his dish in the sink and pulled him into a hug.
Markus was a little surprised by the sudden hug but it felt nice. 'So this is what true love feels like, well I'll be damned this does feel better then punishing a criminal.'
But one thing was in his mind. Now that he knew her secret, should he tell her his?
Markus was at home after a long day at work. Hestia had been teaching him some tricks to cooking, which made his rating shoot through the roof. That brought in even more customers to a point where he had a line going out his door on some days.
Oddly enough he had not heard from Hestia for the past week. It had been nine months since she told him her true identity. Come to think of it she had been acting differently since a month after she told him. She was so much more happy then she was originally and she had a smile that would put the sun to shame in its brightness.
But that was not the only thing; Markus noticed she had been stringing herself more often than normal. And she would frequently take brakes, and hold her back like she had been doing back weights to strengthen her back. She also kind of looked like she was putting on a few pounds in the stomach region, but whenever he looked at her she looked normal.
'Oh, if Gabriel could see me now… will I guess he can given that he's an angel and all.' Markus thought to himself.
Today was December so it was snowing pretty hard out. He had to clear his driveway a few times this week due to all the snow. Sometimes he wished he had someone to help him around the house. Sure Hestia was always willing to help but he missed the complay of people like him.
Speaking of people like him.
Markus got up and moved over to his computer and switched it on. The screen came on minutes later allowing him to open up Skype and call one of his friends from his class a Peacekeeper named Jessica. However she did not pick up his call.
Markus sighed and went for his phone and went to text her. However he stopped when he heard his doorbell go off. He wasn't expecting anyone and Hestia never just showed up at his house, so either this was a hiker or a monster that just came after the wrong Lawbringer.
Markus stood up from his chair and summoned his Pole-axe, in its invisible form, to his side. Markus also summoned his armor, also in its invisible form as well, just in case this person at his door was ready to attack him.
When Markus got to the door he looked through the viewport to see Hestia standing there with something in her arms, he could also make out the faint sound of a crying baby. Markus quickly dismissed his gear, unlocked the door, and swung it open allowing Hestia to rush in. Markus did a quick scan of the area surrounding his home to make sure she was not running away from something. As soon as he saw the area was clear he closed the door and locked it again.
When he turned back around he saw Hestia standing by the fireplace warming herself up as well as the baby in her arms, which he could clearly hear now. Markus quickly walked over to her to find out just what the hell was going on.
"Hestia what's going on, why do you have a baby in your arms?" Markus asked baffled.
Hestia turned to him. "This is your son."
Markus' eyes shot wide. "Hestia did you ado-"
"No! This is your biological son!" she yelled out cutting him off mid sentence, but she quickly recomposed herself. "Sorry but I am in a hurry I don't have much time."
"Hestia how can this kid be my son we never had sex." Markus said completely ignoring Hestia's last sentence.
"Yes I was surprised too when I started to show signs of being pregnant. Yes we did not have sex but our love was enough that yours and my essence combined in my womb to great a child." A tear fell from her eye. "I never thought I would have a child."
It took Markus a minute to come to terms with this reality. "I guess I should show you to your room."
"I can't." Hestia said like her heart was being ripped out.
"Why?" Markus asked surprised.
"There is a law that prevents me from taking an active role in my children's' life I can't help you raise him."
"That's the dumbest law I have ever heard." Markus said almost yelling. 'And that's coming from a Lawbringer.'
"I know but if I stay here will be dire consequences for both you and our child. I cannot let that happen to either of you." Hestia said tears freely flowing from her eyes. "There are a few things you should know before I go. When he turns twelve he will need to go to a plaice at 3.141 Farm Road on Long Island he will be safe there. He will tell you "it's time for me to go to summer camp" when he is ready but you will not be able to go with him."
She stopped when the house shook like something big was moving around outside. Fear overtook Hestia's face when the tremor passed.
"I am out of time; I will try and lead it away." Hestia said handing the baby off to Markus.
"Wait Hestia what is out there?" Markus said urgently.
"A giant, but I will take care of him." Hestia said as she ran over to the front door.
"No let me handle him." Markus declared.
Hestia looked back at him. "No you are a mortal you can't-"
"Hestia let me handle this go I will be fine!" Markus ordered the goddess who was taken aback by the Lawbringer's declaration. She was about to speak but Markus beat her to the punch. "Go now I will not say it again!"
Hestia hesitated but Markus' voice sounded so sure that he could handle it that she nodded then disappeared in a flash of fire.
The house shook again as the giant came into the clearing. Markus walked up to the window his son still in his hands crying. He then got down on one knee.
"Gabriel I am in need of your presence." Markus said closing his eyes.
The giant raised his club prepared to smash Markus' home but stopped when thunder cracked in the sky, the giant looked toward the sky confused. Suddenly a figure shot towards the giant head, a moment later the giants head separated from his body then turned to golden dust in the next moment.
Behind the where the giant once stood was a man in his early thirties he wore blue jeans and a dark green jacket with a black t-shirt underneath that. His hair was black and short and his eyes a dark green. A burring longsword was in his hands and four white wings came out of his back. The man stood and dismissed his weapon in a flash of fire and his wings faded from existence as he turned to face Markus' house.
Markus went to open the door while he attempted to claim his son down. By the time the man got to the Markus managed to stop his son's crying. Markus opened the door then dropped to one knee.
"Lord Gabriel." Markus said respectively.
Gabriel smiled. "Rise Sir Markus we are not on trial, speak to me plainly."
Markus raised and gestured for him to sit in the living room. The two made their way over to the living room and sat opposite of one another.
"I assume you did not call me here just to slay a giant." Gabriel said humorously.
"Yes and no, you have noticed the child I care in my arms?" Markus asked the Angle.
Gabriel nodded not losing his smile. "Yes I have, I can feel the little one's power from outside, but I can also sense the soul of a knight within him as well." The Angel was silent for a little bit before speaking again. "He is your son."
Markus nodded. "He is the son of Hestia and myself, through… odd processes."
Gabriel's eyebrows went up in surprise. "Hestia you say, she is not known for having children due to the trauma she suffered when she was eaten by her father. I must say I am surprised that she had a child now let alone with a Lawbringer."
"She does not know that I am a Lawbringer." Markus said a little bit regretfully.
"I see… will you be returning to Texas?" Gabriel asked.
Markus was silent for a little bit before he made his decision. "No, I will raise him here. I have a feeling Hestia will be keeping an eye on us from affair, and while I do not think she would do anything about it I can't risk the Greek gods finding out about us."
Gabriel nodded. "Wise words and I must agree, He has spent much time keeping the knights hidden from the claws of Zeus. If he found out about them he would send his demigods to try and take us by force or he will send his daughters and sons and their daughters and sons to woo them."
"I will not allow that to happen." Gabriel said darkly hitting the armrest with his hand. He then looked to the child sleeping in Markus' arms. Gabriel sighed "Raise him well Sir Markus, love him and guide him like He does for us."
"I can only raise the best I can… but he will he need a mother." Markus said looking at his son.
"Indeed, but I do believe you were about to call her." Gabriel said looking at Markus' computer.
"Jessica? But she'll never agree."
"Oh ye of little faith." Gabriel said smiling.
Markus sighed defeated. "I will call her."
Gabriel nodded. "Good, I will take my leave now." he said before he teleported away.
Markus got up from his seat and walked over to his computer and tried to call Jessica over the phone. Jessica was a good friend but that was it she was just a friend. Here he was about to ask her to help him raise a child that isn't even hers. How could he asked that of her and expect her to agree.
After the second tone a female voice came through the phones speaker. "Hello?"
"Jessica it me Markus."
"Oh, haven't heard from you for a while. So what are you up to?" Jessica said sounding like she had her attention somewhere else.
"I have a favor to call in." Markus said looking at his son who had just woken up but was not crying. He had his eyes.
"How many?" she asked her voice getting serious.
"All of them, but even then I am still willing to beg."
Jessica was quite for a little bit. "What is it?"
"I need you to come over to my house in New York this is something that cannot be discussed over the phone." Markus said grimly.
"Markus I am not coming all the way over to New York just to-"
"I have a son." He cut her off.
"…"
"…"
"I will be over there within the week. You are paying for the plane ticket." She said before she hung up.
True to her word Jessica showed up showed up at his front door, two days later. Jessica had jet black hair and steely eyes that could strike fear in the souls of many brave warriors. She stood at five foot five; she was also one of those women that would look sexy even when she was in full body armor. The way she moved was enchanting and like every Peacekeeper she could kill someone before they even knew she was there.
"Where is he?" Jessica order pushing passed the man that towered over her.
Markus led her to the guest room he converted into his son's room, which burned a large hole in his wallet. His son's room was your typical baby room crib, baby bag in the corner, swords and shields on the walls… the normal.
Jessica walked up to him and picked him up rousing him from his sleep causing him to cry. Markus was about to intervene when crying turned to giggling as Jessica started to lightly tickle his belly. He really seemed to like her.
"Who is the mother?" She asked not bothering to look at him.
Markus did not answer right away. "Hestia the Greek goddess of hearth."
Now she turned to look at him. "So he's a demigod and knight."
Markus nodded.
"So you need me to be his mother because Hestia can't for whatever reason."
Markus nodded again.
She sighed. "I guess I will be his mother then. Now its best you leave so I can breastfeed him."
"Wait what!?" Markus said surprised to his knowledge she did not have any kids so then how could she.
"Yea my breast started producing milk the day after you told me you had a son. Guess it's God's way telling me of what I need to do. Now shoo." She said flicking him away.
Markus could only smile and leave.
"Before you leave what's his name?" Jessica asked.
"His name his John, John Cross."
And I am done. Now go do your homework.
