"The legions are ready, my lord." A demon informed me.
Ra's never-ending multitude of scarabs still caged me, but not for long. It took all of my available power just to release a sliver of my soul to that wretched mortal world. Even now I could feel it leading my army to those Greek Olympians. Once they fall, no other deity, Egyptian or otherwise, will finally be able to stop me.
The Egyptians will fall. Those magicians will be destroyed except for the Kanes. Oh no, That Kane girl shall be my wife, and she will watch in horror as I slit her brother's throat in front of her eyes. I could feel her weakening, her will breaking under the stress and torture that that son of Apollo was giving her.
I remembered when I first saw him…
He was running through a forest, shooting arrows frantically behind him. I heard curses come from the trees, and a pilum soared through the air, impaling itself on his back. He screamed in agony.
I can help you, I told him. He looked around frantically, searching for my voice.
"Who are you? What do you want!" he demanded.
A small cluster of soldiers emerged from the trees. Their eyes had that murderous intent on them. "There you are!" he paled. I sent the power of chaos to those pursuing him, and snapped their minds.
"What the-" he started, but I released another wave of chaos, and burned half of them alive. The rest who were still sane enough to run back, backed away at top speed, screaming about snakes.
"Thank you." He shouted in the air. I emerged in my weakened form, a humanoid form. "I never give away favors for free." I told him.
"What do you want from me?" he asked. I smiled. This was a brave boy.
"Join me. I said.
He scowled. "What will I get for joining you?"
"For one, power." I said. I released the power of chaos, and the trees were engulfed in flame.
He stared at me in awe. "Fair enough. What do you want me to do?"
I pointed to the hill behind me. "Go there. Befriend the Greeks. And while you're at it, find me a wife."
He nodded, and limped to Camp Half-Blood.
A very short chapter, I know, expect a longer one later! Till then!
