Chapter 2 explanations and camp

Damien Tormen was a scrawny boy dressed in ripped jeans a black hoodie and worn sneakers and he didn't smell nice he was one of the thousands of homeless teens living in new York city . He didn't know if he had parents he grew up in a catholic school at the tender mercies of Father Anders just thinking about the name made him angry. When he got angry people died sometimes literally and sometimes he swore he could see peoples death. Ever since he had arrived at Saint Peters Academy 11 years ago as a baby there had been more than one hundred suicides between students and staff and each one had wronged him in some way whether that be hogging food at lunch or tacking too long at Bible studies.

Each one had grown depressed as Damien's anger grew eventually they would run screaming from him saying doom had come to the academy and then a few days later turn up dead and every single time Damien was Happy ! But there was one person who was always kind to him his P E teacher Coach Hedge who always said he was special and wasn't a freak or Abomination just because of what he claimed to see. One night before going to bed a note appeared at his dorm room explaining he needed to leave immediately before morning or Father Anders would perform yet another Exorcism . The letter was from Hedge and came with directions to long island were he'd get answers to what was happening. And so he packed up his meager belongings and fled the academy Wishing that the entire academy would blow up or they'd jump off a roof. He got his wish a few days later when he saw in the local paper that the academy was nothing more than a doomsday cult masquerading as a catholic scold and that Father Anders led his 350 students in mass suicide by way of slashing all the children's throats and then cutting his own loudly proclaiming that doom is here .

Presently he made his way through yet another thunderstorm through back ally's to find a place to sleep for the day . Damien always felt better at night and preferred to sleep during the day . He found and overpass and curled up trying to block out the thunder and lightning "Will it ever stop?" he thought sarcastically to himself as he drifted off to sleep hoping he didn't have another dream. That's the other thing he had been having to deal with over the past month nightmares well sort off they strangely made him happy . They started out always the same He stood over a gaping pit that led into blackness . That's not what made him frightened Something inside the pit made him feel safe but their was also something in the pit that chilled him to the bone a voice that tried to speak to him but it was just laughter for the moment but that laughter is what chilled him made him frightened.

This time was different he felt something pierce his back looked down and saw the edge of a black sword as he was forcibly kicked down into the pit. He fell bloodied and screaming but as he tumbled he saw a figure with pale skin black robes and on his head sat a crown that was on fire that awoke all the terrible things he had suffered until it was out of sight . Damien fell he fell endlessly eventually even in this dream he passed out but not before feeling that sense of safety emanating from a mansion as black as night which sat next to a river of fire . He hoped that's were father Anders was burning in that river.

When Damien woke up he knew he wasn't dreaming anymore but he also knew he wasn't under the overpass anymore he felt that same sense of safty from his dream he looked around the room was made of some kind of shimmering black marble and had white and red fires burning around the room he sat up from the most comfortable bed he could ever remember he also saw that he was dressed in new jeans shoes and shirt all in black grey or red . As he was taking all this in a door materialized and a figure stepped through the man had grey skin and numerous tiny scars all over his body black Hair like Damien's and very similar eyes with the colors swapped for black irises and red pupils he wore long black pants and a shirt that read doomsday Y2K. He smiled at Damien "Hello your probably confused right wondering if you've gone insane right?" the man questioned as he sat down at a table and chair that materialized out of shadow . His voice sounded heavy and cracked as if he didn't use it but it also echoed all over the room.

Damien couldn't find words right now so he just nodded " Well Damien im here to give you all the answers to your questions but first let me ask you one of my own What do you know of the Greek gods? " "You mean Zeus and Poseidon and Hades, I was taught they were just stories by Father Anders " Damien said The mans eyes glowed and waves of something rolled of him "That man was wrong the Greek gods are real and alive today, you can see our influence here in America if you really look and you are what's known as a demigod or I Guess a demiprimordial or demidaemon would be more accurate following along ?" Damien just nodded still to stunned to speak. "The gods still have children with mortals almost all are of the Olympians but you are different I am Moros son of Nyx primordial of night and brother to Thanatos and the Fates ." "I am Moros primordial of doom depression and fate and your father". Damien was stunned "You're my father then why did you leave me at the school didn't you want me? "Of course I did but Zeus had already killed your mother you were born in an unconventional way you'll find out later Zeus would have destroyed you too had he found you since he's angry at me much like he tried to do to others."

"You will find Son that the Olympians care nothing but for themselves and they have no problem breaking oaths ." "you see son at the end of the Second world war the big three swore never to have anymore children and they swore on the river Styx they then broke that Oath so I decided to punish them with a prophecy." To help that prophecy come to pass I knew I needed help So I found a women ,your Mother who surprisingly I fell in love with and you were born ." " So I'm just a tool then a weapon!" Damien shouted as waves of energy rolled off him destroying the room which instantly was rebuilt "At first yes but I relied that you have an opportunity to reshape the world how you want, you can fix it or destroy it how you wish as long as you do a few things Take up my mantle in the mortal world Punish the Olympians and kill or imprison my sister Elips and Imprison Prometheus".

Damien stopped if he was allowed to reshape the world he could fix everything make sure nothing like what he went through happened to anyone else and fix the evils of the world. "I can do it my way at the end of it all?" As long as the Olympians are punished and my conditions are met you can do what you want with the mortals." Moros replied "All I want is for the natural order to be restored" Damien nodded he could do that what had the world ever done for him anyway the humans never learned from their mistakes anyway "How will I do that?" he asked "Well as my son you are extremely powerful you already know that you are able to project an aura of depression and doom around you and you have the ability to destroy exactly how that manifest will remain to be seen ". " You will also have the abilty to cause pain and see a persons death as well as see into the future though how much depends on you". "You're are immune to Tartarus which is were we are now and as a legacy of Nyx you'll be able to control darkness and shadows. And you will be stronger at night anything else you will discover on your own? "Were am I going to go?" Damien asked Moros grinned "Camp half blood in long island you'll be safe there " "It sounds counter intuitive but help the Demigods and the Olympians for now you'll know when the time is righty to act." Oh and before you leave here." Moros waved his hand and a ring cloak and a silver canteen appeared . "The ring will transform into a Stygian iron sword but unlike Normal Stygian iron which is cool in the River Styx this sword was cooled in the rivers Coctyus and Acheron ." :the cloak is made of pure shadows and should keep you almost invisible at night , the Canteen is filled with fire from the river Phlegethon which will heal you like Nectar and Ambrosia would for Normal demigods." Moros suddenly hugged him "Everything will be better my son soon you'll be able to take revenge on the world for what its done to you ,You will shape it and those who deserve to be punished will and remember I am always with you and Bow to no one ". As Moros released him Damien smiled a Damien's world went black and he felt cold for a second and then he sprawled on the ground and saw a boy with black windswept hair and sea green eyes killing a freaking minotaur .

So chapter 2 done and Damien now knows what he is and what his father wants and hes agreed to get revenge. A note on Damien Thiers a lot more with his past that I haven't revealed yet that will be shown in interlude chapters between each book that will show in more detail what he went through its not Nice hence the M rating but rest assured he has and will have every reason to hate humanity and the Olympians. Is it Edgy yes but He's the son of Moros its unavoidable but I will say there's a strong chance hell end up in love but I wont say with who im trying to put a bit of nico into Damien since 1 hes one of my favorite characters and 2 he'll play an important roll later on . As for Moros I cant have him Just be about pain and doom he also has depression as one of his domains so im going to use that to humanize him a bit ,Youll also see how he fell in love and lost that later in the story as well another reason he hates the Olympians and humans in general even more .
