NEW QUEST
THIRD PERSON POV
Percy had travelled back before courtesy of his father, but this was different. He had never travelled back so far in time.
Everything felt different. The air he was breathing was pure without any pollution. There were no loud background noises. He could hear birds chirping clearly. It was green.
He remembered the quest Chaos had given him on Olympus
FLASHBACK
As Percy was taking in his surroundings Chaos gave him a scroll.
"What is it."
Chaos replied
"The past you might have heard about in books and the past you are in is very different. When I looked through your memories I saw you were taught Kronos did horrible things to mortals. That is not entirely false but Kronos and the other titans rarely leave Mount Orthys. The mortals are left to do their own things. The other difference is the mortals here might not be demigods but they some of them still have powers like healing others or controlling elements."
"How is that possible."
"Magic and the weapons they use. Here the weapons are much more than just normal weapons, these weapons also posses magic which allows the wielded to harness it. Not all weapons are like this only a select few. Now on to the scroll. I want you to find a weapon called Endbringer."
"Woah that's a cool name."
"Anyways, it's blade is made of the core of a dying star and the hilt is made of wood from the tree of the faded and its hilt contains a shard made from the essence of a Ancient evil entity."
"That really sounds good but what exactly does it mean."
"The blade can cut through any metal or absorb any element."
"Element"
"Say if someone sends a fireball at you or a thunderbolt at you or any other element the blade will absorb it and get the properties of it. Like with a fire ball it will turn into a blade made of fire. The hilt since it is made of the tree of the faded can draw power from the realm of the faded. This is the place all the faded beings go to. The shard has a good and bad effect. It will give you immense strength but it will also try to influence you to be evil."
"Okay so where is the blade."
"Its not that simple the blade was broken into five parts. The hilt, the share, the blade in two parts and finally the sheath."
"Wait why do I need the sheath can't I just use a random sheath?"
"If you keep the sword unsheathed when you are not using it it will slowly drive you insane."
"Okay so where are the pieces."
"The scroll will give you the first location and after you retrieve that piece you will get the second location. Oh and you are not allowed to use your powers on the godly or Primordial level you can use them only on the demigod level."
"Okay but who made the rules"
"I am not allowed to say"
"So you said the titans don't come here. So this world is like a normal mortal world but with magic."
"No monsters inhabit the planet and there is no mist"
"But I already have a pretty powerful weapon"
"This sword can break the time lock so you won't have to spend all the years in the past."
FLASHBACK END
With that Chaos left.
The first thing Percy did was open the scroll.
There was one word written on it. Draugus.
He had no clue what it meant and now he was here in arrest and had been walking for like an hour and there was no life in sight. He had changed to his 18 year old form. It would be weird for him to be 13 and wandering around.
Then suddenly he heard a growl and the unmistakable sound of the swinging of a sword ahead. He summoned doom his sword and rushed ahead.
He reached a clearing and saw a man fighting. This man was no amateur in the way he was swinging his sword expertly. He looked about nineteen. He was fighting a pack of hellhounds.
As he was going to defend against a hellhound charging at him two hellhounds were getting ready to flank him. Percy surged forward to kill both the hellhounds and then the two of them finished of the rest.
The man turned to him and said
"Thanks for saving my life."
He was about six feet in height only about an inch shorter than Percy. He had blue eyes and brown hair which was cut very short.
He had a tattoo of a compass on his right bicep. He was wearing a sleeveless armour and below some kind of white pants.
Percy replied
"Can I ask what you were doing here in the middle of the forest."
"My name is Kratos. I am an adventurer I was exploring this area when I was attacked by this pack of hellhounds. Now who are you and what are you doing here?"
Percy contemplated whether to tell him or no then he said
"My name is Perseus. I am looking for a place called Draugus."
Kratos's eyes widened in shock before he said
"That's a very dangerous place why do you want to go there?"
Percy was hesitant to tell him but then realised Kratos was his best chance of finding the first piece so said
"I am on a quest to find a sword which was split into five pieces the first one is at Draugus"
"Draugus is the red mountain it is very dangerous because dragons are said to live there."
"You mean drakons"
"No dragons"
"So how do you get to Draugus."
"You are not from here, are you?"
"Um no I am new I came from a foreign country."
"Then let me accompany and help you."
"You yourself said it was very dangerous why would you want to come with me?"
"My father always taught me if someone saves your life you owe him your life and secondly I am an adventurer and I have no mission."
Percy thought about it and then decided that it would be beneficial to have a skilled swordsman and also someone who knew the area well.
"Okay you can come but I don't have any idea about the geography of this place and our next step so what do we suggest we do?"
"Glad you asked. So between here an Draugus there are four villages Naxinus, Rizos, Tegatis and Tyloy. To get to the piece of Draugus us two no matter powerful won't be able to do. We need a team. There is a fighting completion in Naxinus in a few days the best fighters will come there. I think you should participate and then we can recruit someone. Rizoz is a mercenary hub. Though mercenaries aren't always reliable they are good fighters and Tegatis is the best place to buy armour and weapons."
"Huh you came up with a plan really fast. So what about Tylol you didn't say what was in Tylol."
"Well Tylol used to be a bustling village with caravans and trade with all other villages but then suddenly one day it just stopped. Nobody knows what happened."
"Didn't anyone go to check."
"The same time the trade stopped a lot of monsters appeared between Tegatis and Tyloy. Dangerous monsters like the Hydra and basilsks. But the strange part was they never entered any village."
"Well I guess we will find out why. So onto Naxinus?"
"Yes time to start a new quest"
With that both men walked to the first step in their large journey.
None of them noticing the hooded figure following them.
AN: So I know it's a bit later than I said but the good news I am free for sometime now so I will be posting 1 to 2 chapter this month and from next month I will try to post 3 to 4 chapters a month.
I hope you like this new direction of the story. I didn't want to make it like a normal past Percy story where he meets the gods and that all. I also hope you like my OC. Kratos is not the same one from god of war.
If you have any suggestions or questions write in reviews or pm me.
I will see you when I see you.
Son of creation over and out.
