Perseus: Patron of the Betrayed.

Chapter 3

Tartarus.

Third Person Point Of View.

In one of the giant decaying fields of Tartarus a giant golden lion the size of a garbage truck was fighting a demigod around the height of 6 foot 1 inch. Around the area they were fighting was a large circle made of black granite pillars. Surrounding the granite pullers were giant pillars of basalt and augite which stuck out at dangerous angles. In the centre of the circle was a pile of bones which resembled that of a dragon. Around them was a pile of golden dust with bodies of monsters slowly decaying. There was a putrid and retched stench of death, decay and sulphur. The air was torturously warm, stinging the hairs on the back of the mans neck. There was the constant noise of clanging and clinks as the metal blade of the mans sword bounced of the golden hair of the lions.

The demigod was around the height of 6 foot 1 inch and was garnered in all black. He wore an assassins robe with neon blue trim and had Drakon scale armour. The black robe had an oversized hood covering part of the mans forehead and eyes. On the mans left side there was a six foot long spear. The handle was 5 foot long and made of ebony and the blade making up the last foot which was the blade was made of pure black orthyrian steel. The handle was studded with black opal along the sides and at the end was a platinum blade around three inches long. In his right hand there was a 4 foot long blade with with a six inch Drakon bone handle. The blade had an icy black/grey colour to it as it was made from frozen water from the Styx. On the edge a of the blade pieces of a black metal stuck out of the ice at angles, placed perfectly to tear into flesh and rip it out. The handle was carved with intricate drawings of famous acts of destruction and death. The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, the holocaust, the Fukushima and Chernobyl meltdowns, the Hiroshima bomb and countless others.

The man rolled off to his left, dodging the paw of the giant lion. The man grunted in pain as a shard of glass stabbed it self inches away from his left kidney, his blood started to flow out onto the black rocks dying them a scarlet red. The golden lion roared showing it's pink fleshy throat and mouth, the man had reacted quickly throwing his sword, blade first directly at the beasts mouth. However the lion had closed it's mouth shattering the blade into countless pieces, many of which had lodged themselves in the back of the lions throat. The man ran forward, closing the distance between him and the lion to just ten feet. He grabbed the spear by the centre and unattached it from it's sheath, he jumped up and and started to aim the blade towards the lions roaring throat and with in seconds the lion roared at the exact moment the blade reached it's mouth. The blade had pierced right through the throat and into the spinal cord killing the Nemean lion instantly.

Left in the lions place was a golden lions pelt that was slowly changing into a black leather jacket, the spear, and golden dust littering the black ground. The man grabbed his blade and quickly sheathed it silently. He then grabbed he black leather jacket and put it on over the robe. The man removed the hood from his head, leaving it hanging around his neck, where there was once a shadow and the hood was now a handsome and rugged face. He had stormy green eyes, rough shaven face and long shaggy hair that was jet black. He scanned his immediate surroundings, looking for the Drakon bone hilt for his sword. He finally noticed roughly 25 foot away from him, right next to the carcass of the first dragon, Draco. He calmly walked over to it and grabbed it from the ground leaving imprints in the black sand and volcanic ash.

He searched around him one final time before movie north west to a part of the mountain range known as the nightshade due to them being encased in black clouds and smog. It took him a four hour hike over loose rock, boulders, ash and sand but he eventually got back to the cave he had called home for just less than 500 years. It was a quarter way up one of the mountains that overlooked the fields and plains. He came across countless groups of monsters on his way here and many of them were smart enough to leave him on his own however several packs of hellhounds and telekhines could be removed from the list of monsters in Tartarus. The man had finally entered his cave. The cave was about 20 foot by 20 foot and was just larger than the man. At the far left there was a bed of hellhound pelts and a mattress stolen from a laestrygonian camp. On the far right was a hand carved trench filled with murky water used for bathing and cleaning, at the left side of the entrance was a rack filled with different weapons and armour. On the right side of the entrance there stood a fire that was slowly dimming causing shadows to dance around the cave. The man hung up his leather jacket, armour, weapons and robes before refreshing the fire with wood. After the fire had brightened up he placed two pieces of hellhound flesh on the fire and made his way back to the entrance. The man grabbed a stick from his rack and started to redraw the symbols on the ground and walls, the symbols were a mix from American Indian, hoodoo, voodoo, tribal, religious and pagan symbols used to ward off evil and demonic beings. The man had finished off with drawing a devils trap right at the entrance and it was perfect timing as the steaks had just finished.

The man grabbed the steaks with a dagger and moved over to his hellhound pelt bed. He grabbed a ring binder, which contained several journals, and started writing in one of them. As he ate the steak he started writing about his weapon the spear, he had titled the entry 'the spear of Perses, the spear of destruction, and had started to draw a diagram of what it looked like. He was almost finished before a deep voice shouted his name, a name nobody had called him in over 500 years.

"PERSEUS!"
