Tuda jolts awake screaming the name of his grandfather figure
"VESIMER!" he's short of breath painted, was it a dream? Where is he? What happening? Were all questions that ran through his head as he looked around he heard movement from his left side and he noticed that he was laying in a bed, inside a room he didn't recognize and the movement was coming from the door on the other side of the room. Once more and vastly quicker than before he scans the room no sign of his swords or emergency dagger. Looking himself over he finds a plethora of new scars from the previous battle but also noticed that he was mostly nude save for a pair of strange-looking and feeling trousers. However, he pushes those thoughts aside and quickly gets out of the bed he notices a window on the wall behind him and channeling one of his magical sings he sending a powerful Aard shockwave at the glass window shattering it and making cracks aper along the wall. The door swings open but the person on the other side it only managed to see Tuda tumbling through the broken window
"WAIT!" cried a female voice but it didn't stop him and he charged off into the night.
"I need to find my gear… shit and my medallion" Tuda said to himself noticing that he truly had none of his belongings on him. He makes it behind a tree before pausing taking a deep breath closing his eyes and focusing on the scent of blood. His armor was drenched in it from the fight against the Wild Hunt, therefore using the smell he should be able to find it. After exhaling he opens his eyes his cat-like pupils dilate and a trailing fog-like clouds appear in a trail leading from the house he just escaped from and goes on deeper into the area. As quickly as he could Tuda takes off following the trail, eventually leading to what looks like a colosseum with an armory inside it. He closes his senses and starts searching. He managed to fin his chest piece, gloves, boots, and trouser but his swords and medallion were still missing. He looks over his armor looking for any severe damage, or signs of scavenging from others. Thankfully, he found them in no worse shape than they were when he last wore it. Putting down the chest piece he hears footsteps walking in his direction initially his hand reaches out and grabs a sword on the wall.
"Hey! Who the Hades are you!?" a brutish voice shouts Tuda turns around and sees a boy around 13-14 years old. On his back were his steel sword and a silver sword that wasn't his but he did regionalizes.
"Kid you're gonna want to give those back, they don't belong to you." he snarls his anger being to rise inside his chest
"Or what, I'm gonna hurt myself? Yeah right, buddy. I probably know how to use them better than you ever will" the kid gloats trying his best to draw one of the two swords out of there scabbards. Tuda smirks at him and doesn't give him the time, charging him while swinging his sword, making the boy abandoned his attempts and dodge Tuda's swings. Tuda was barely giving the kid room to breathe, his swings were precise and powerful, so much strength was behind them that small air currents were made with each.
"You know more than I ever will. Please, you know nothing of how to use a blade" Tuda remarked
"Yeah right, you got lucky!" the kid said taking large jump back and finally managing to get the steel sword out. It was at this moment that Tuda also noticed that around the boys wrist was his medallion. He give out a low animal like growl seeing at hos this child had stolen his blades and his medallion
"Oh so scary, the doggy has teeth, you're all bark"
"Oh do trust me child. My bite is far worse than any bite you've had before." he said with a snarl, charging again. When the blades collided there were sparks, Tuda did have to give the child credit for he was managing to block most of his strikes, but still he wasn't looking to well at all. Before landing another strike, Tuda sent another hard shockwave sending the child careening into the wall making him drop the steel sword
"You ready to give me back my stuff?" Tuda asked, slowly walking up on the boy. Blood, the child coughs out blood before slowly getting to his feet.
"Fuck you!" he said drawing a silver sword out of the other scabbard. Once it's outside of the scabbard, Tuda's eyes widen.
"That's… Vesimer… YOU DON'T DESERVE TO TOUCH THAT SWORD!" the ground slightly trembles at his words. His eyes glow with rage and power seeing this the child is terrified at this time unknown to the two boys Posiden who had been locked in an endless cycle of grief since the loss of both his son and his beloved Sally, suddenly turns his head and looks in the direction of this new flash of power that was shared in his domain.
"Un-hand that sword you pathetic feebling CHILD!" Tuda jumps in the air and swings with the pure intent to take the child's head off his shoulders.
"David!?" shouted a female voice making Tuda stop his assault and glance behind seeing the shadows of another figure approaching
"CLA-" before the child, now revealed to be named David could finish, Tuda incapacitates him with a smack from the pummel of the blade in his hand. Faster than one could describe he takes back his medallion and swords and takes off into the darkness of the night.
Annabeth didn't know what to think about last night, first some dude showed up looking beat to Hades in the middle of dinner, then said dude wakes up screaming someones name and nearly blows the wall down with some kind of magic and escape after nearly killing an Ares kid. It was a crazy night to say the least. The next day Chiron organize a search party to look or the mystery man in the woods but they turned up not even the slightest bit of a clue as to where he was. So they returned empty handed and after an additional few days with not seeing of him he was mostly forgotten with the hustle and bustle of the average Demi-gods life. Seeing as the believed danger has passed Chiron okayed the continuation of the capture the flag game. Much to the exsoment of Annabeth and the other camp attendees. That Friday night everyone donned their armour and selected their weapons of choice and were quickly organized into teams. With the team leaders being Ares and Athena, it was bound to be an interesting match. Especially since they have that weirdo in the woods. Soon, too soon if you asked Annabeth, the sound of the conch horn can be heard and the game begins the the sounds of battle cries ring out through the forest. Using her Yankees baseball cap, which doubles as a cap of invisibility, she sneaks thought searching for the flag. Only to see Luke sprinting by her cloaked form, flag in his arms and a large group of Ares children chasing him one of who is Clarisse, she is also yelling death threats at him that she wouldn't ever dare to act upon. Seeing as Luke may need a trade off in order to still be living by the time this game ends. Annabeth follows him, as well taking her hat off as she runs so that she can be seen.
"Luke!" she shouted, running alongside her crush
"What? Annabeth, where did you come from!? Nevermind, it doesn't matter! Take this and keep running, I'll hold off the Ares people!" Luke said shoving the flag into her hand and quickly turning around and drawing his sword ready for his attackers, wanting to both win the game and impress her crush she grabs on to the flag with dear life and keep running until she see the steam divider and bolt across it. Once she reaches the other side of the stream she slams the flag into the river bed and the sound of a victory horn is heard. People started to gather at the stream bed. Suddenly however a hellish howl rang through the forest and before anyone could move, a hound the size of a rhino leaped out of some bushes and ran straight at Annabeth. Her eyes widen and a single thought runs through her mind
"I am gonna die" However before the hound can pounce on her a figure land in front of her and she is sent back by a shockwave of force sensing her flying into the arms of Luke who was running in to try and help her. The figure then in one motion, turns and draws a silver sword and all that is heard is a yelp as the hellhound falls on its side turning to dust dead.
"Well that's fucking new" Tuda said looking at the golden dust.
