As soon as Tuda finished that line he heard everyone grab their weapons and point them at him. Although he had silver in his hand which was highly ineffective against the flesh of man he didn't hesitate in taking a defensive stance. But then there was some kind of light and a voice rang out through the crowd
"Stand down! Stand down! Lower your weapons! Low- my gods…" the voice said noticing the light. Tuda tracked what he could see of the light and determined it was shining above him without faltering his stance he looks up and see a sea green trident floating above his head
"What the hell?" he said, staring at it. When he looks back around he sees everyone bowing to him?
"Hail the son of Poseidon Lord of the se-"
"Will Someone please explain to me what the HELL is happening right now!?" Tuda interrupts, sword still at the ready.
"I uh well let just all calm down"
"Calm down? Calm down!? 4 days ago I was fighting for my damn life to protect my sister, I passed out and when I woke up I was in this unknown place, I know nothing! I wake up in bed practically nude! My armour and weapons and my medallion were stolen from my body and being worn by some worthless child who tried to boast he was better than me! I nearly drown in a lake trying to take a fucking BATH and then I fight off the biggest motherfucking dog if it even is that! And your telling *me* to CALM DOWN!"
"You dare speak to Chiron like that!?" someone yelled
"I'll speak however I damn please thank you!" Tuda yells back suddenly and the silence turns to out cry.
"SILENCE!" a voice yells and he hears what sounds like something hitting the ground the campers instantly since themselves. Tuda saw from the corner of his eye the crowd starting to part and someone emerging from the crowd. At first the person just looked tall then he saw their body.
"Oh you've gotta- ya know what No, just no this is bullshit it's all bullshit!" he said throwing his hands in the air, but still holding onto the silver blade before sheathing it.
"What?"
"You're half fucking horse! That's not normal! Yet you're all acting like it is!"
"Well in our world it is not like the mortal one." Tuda was about to responds and then his body start to burn
"GAH!" He looks around and sees his foot in the river, the water seeming to slither up his body. He tried to get his foot out of the river, but he couldn't move it. It was frozen.
"What-the-hell" he growled. The centaur galloped towards the man upon seeing this, and pulled him from the water. Instantly, the pain vanished. He panted as he looked up at the hybrid.
"Thanks," he said.
"It was not a problem. Now may we talk?" he asked. Tuda sighed "Yea... You've at least earned that" and with that Tuda followed the horse man to the large blue house he first woke up in. When approaching the porch he notices a well plump man in what he could only describe as an interesting fashion taste.
"Well now who is this Chiron? He is not a camper at this shithole." he said eyeing Tuda
"And why in Hades is he nearly naked?"
"Funny I was about to ask why there was a grape sitting at a table" Tuda remarked back
"What did you say to me!?" the man yelled standing up and glaring at him. When Tuda looked at him he could see the power in his eyes but yet he wasn't intimidated or scared of it. It was his job to hunt that seemed to be unstoppable and had endless power.
"Do you have any idea who I am!?"
"Aside from someone trying to make a sylvan jealous? No idea" Before the man could respond he walks into the house.
"DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME!" The man hollered, but was ultimately ignored.
"I would tread very carefully, Mr. D is not one to be trifled with" the hybrid says
"People have said the same about many men I've dealt with, as well as the wise words regarding the monsters I've hunted
"He is no man, he is... Well, I'll explain in due time but first let me introduce myself. I am Chiron, trainer of heroes" Chiron said as if his name was meant to mean something to Tuda.
"Tuda of Kaer Mohren, master witcher... And never heard of you." Utter confusion is on Chirons face
"Kaer- what? I've never heard of such a place, nor the term whitcher"
"Mhm, I suspected as much," Tuda says, rubbing his chin.
"You did?"
"Yes, and it all leads into a... Outlandish sounding theory"
Chiron's eyebrow raised in interest. Time escaped the two of them as they talked about their respective worlds and how Tuda ended up here. They continued to talk until the sound of a horn blared through the grounds.
"A food horn?" Tuda guessed.
"Why yes, but that would only be sounded at breakfast... my gods! It's morning!" The centaur exclaimed, looking at a clock."
"What? Oh… Heh, I'll be damned" Tuda said looking outside.
"Well I say we continue this conversation later Tuda."
"Yes… I won't argue pausing for food" The witcher said, getting up and starting to head out.
"Oh! Wait Tuda!"
"What?"
"Perhaps you would like some clothing, the Aphrodite cabin will… honestly I rather not think of what all they would try" The centaur muttered Tuda looks down at himself,
"I would like my armour back thank you"
"Nothing underneath it?"
"No… all that does is make you smell and sweat more"
"But isn't it uncomfortable?"
"The path is brutal, comfort is something you quickly learn to live without."
"well... alright then, allow me to go and retrieve it." Chiron left, and returned a few minutes later with it. Once Tuda had put his armour back on, he felt much safer. He wouldn't dare say invincible but far more solid, more whole. He sighed constantly as he fixed the swords on his back.
"Come, Tuda. Allow me to introduce you to the rest of camp, Chiron said, gesturing for him to follow. Tuda nodded and followed, his senses sharp. He still didn't trust anyone in this place, he had no reason to. He could feel the eyes on him long before he could see the campers, as he followed the hybrid up to a large table that overviews the other tables. The small conversations that were made in hushed whispers, fell silent as they laid eyes on him. He radiates power, all that was added was his armour but yet it added so much before he was just a partially nude man that got lucky with a monster, But now he looks like a hunter one that could hunt Thanatos himself. As they stared,Tuda smirked and crossed his arms. He looked back at them, his gaze unwavering as he saw some campers look away from him.
"Campers!" Chiron's voice boomed "This is Tuda of Kaer Mohren, son of Poseidon lord of the sea and master witcher. I know that you all have questions and I as well still have many but the answers will come in due time" the sky then turned dark as clouds gathed and thunder rumbled. However, there was no sign of lighting,
"Stange storm you have here." Tuda noted
"What do you mean?" The hybrid asked confused
"Back home with clouds and thunder like this Lighting would be striking the ground with abandonment… yet there isn't any here" after a rumble of thunder, it starts to rain but yet none of the raindrops entered the area.
" hm… magic barrier" he then stated.
"Yes it is, we can control what weather enters the campground. The barrier also grants us a safe haven from the monsters that would kill us." Chiron said. He then noticed a small twinkle in Tuda's eyes
"Sounds like a job for a Witcher."
Hey small note. Yes I know that in the books and Netflix shows syvan's portrayed as being skinny. However Tuda is from the Witcher 3 Video Game where they are fat entities, this does not mean everything will be based on the games. Thought I should let y'all know :}
