Okay, so I was going to have this be longer but it started it drag on and get boring so I split it up and am re-writing the next chapter hopefully to have it up soon. Tell me what you think of the new twist and new info about Dru. Yes? No? Maybe So?
William Peverell,(A/N HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HARRY POTTER! EXPLANATION LATER IN CHAPTER!) more commonly know as Will was in the middle of a meeting with the High Council of the Nephilim when the trees in the Chambers courtyard shifted and Nymphs whispered of Drusilla. The shadows also brought word of Drusilla, pulling at Will to follow them. Instinctively, Will obliged worried of the girl who he considered his closest friend and sister teleported himself after the shadows. Before he had even taken in his surroundings Will knew, he just knew Dru was in trouble.
"What in hell?" Will cursed as he became visible once again. "What the hell did Dru do this time?"
"Umm... who are you?" Asked a boy with black hair and sea green eyes.
"More importantly, how did you get in?" A blond standing next to the black haired boy eyed Will suspiciously with her stormy grey eyes trying to intimidate him. Yeah, fat chance. Will thought, although he had never been on the receiving end of one of Dru's death glares just watching her give it to someone else made him shutter. Will quickly took the reset of his surroundings; A large ranch house, strawberry fields, lots of camp cabins all decorated differently, horse stables, a dinning pavilion, a canoe lake, a arena, and a rockwall... spewing lava.
Great, just what I needed today... Dru. Will thought. "This wouldn't happen to be Camp Half-Blood would it?"
"Indeed it is, I am Chiron. Who are you?"
"Will." Will said dismissively. "So, son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson, son of Hades, Nico di Angelo, daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase and daughter of Zeus, Thalia Grace." Will pointed respectively to Percy, Nico, Annabeth and Thalia. Chiron ... you taught Dru fourteen years back."
"You are correct."
"How-" Annabeth began.
"How do I know your heritage and your names? I am Nephilim."
"Nephilim?" Percy and Nico ask in unison.
"The children of Angeles and Mortals." Annabeth said.
"In some cases yes, but it's much more complicated than that. We are warriors of light, speaking of which I don't Dru's here."
"She was." Percy said.
"Was?" Will listened intently as Chiron and the demigods filled him in on Dru's arrival and everything since, it took fifteen minutes to explain with Will no saying a word just intently listening. "So she's D.I.A. Well, this is just a great way to start the week." Will concluded with sarcasm when they had finished explaining.
"D.I.A? Like dead?" Percy asked wearily.
"Nah, she can't die Percy and besides if she did I would be able to feel it."
"That's K.I.A, killed in action." Will said. "D.I.A, Drusilla in Action, it also happens to be her initials not that she uses them."
"Then what does she use?" Percy asked.
"She rarely need one but when she does there is only one she will use."
"And that is?"
"Peverell." Will stated. "In honor of William Peverell, Commander in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 who put her life in front of his own." (A/N Just FYI there was an actual William Peverell who served as a Commander in the Battle of Hastings, 1066)Thalia, who hadn't said a word head snapped up so fast you could her a distinct SNAP!
"Are you William Peverell?" Thalia asked, her electric blue eyes wide in realization. Will only nodded.
"Your her Guardian Angel?" Thalia asked and once again all Will could do was nod.
"If your Nephilim then you must be the Angel who guides us." Annabeth concluded.
"I suppose so; but first what exactly did this prophecy say?"
"Lightning, Water, Shadow and the Wise heed, Guided by the Angel's words they follow her Creed. Journeying to the past four Demigods learn, For the Bringer of Balance to is about to return. For those who cannot be seen, Their path is paved in the courage against the unforeseen."
Annabeth recited the prophecy with ease, however everyone was startled by Will's pained expression as Annabeth had finished. "I don't suppose I could get you to drop this quest could I?"
"No. Why?" Percy asked wearily.
"Look, you have to understand that Dru is the Preliator and the Preliator's job is to be a harbinger of balance in the dimensions. It's hard, lonely, breathtaking, cruel, and above all ... painful. Her Creed... her Creed is not one you wish to follow. Find as little of the truth as you must to find her but you have to understand that Dru has been around for a long time, she was first seen walking on this planet over five thousand years ago, but she is so much older. And with age comes responsibility and secrets. Some secrets are meant to be found, there keys to knowledge they shed light in the darkest of places. Some secrets are meant to remain secret, they hid the pain, the past, and the memories we never wish to see again. Dru has a past... a cruel, harsh, violent past whatever you do... wherever you go be carful. If not for your own sake than for hers, she still has family on this Earth for her... weather she believes it or not, and most importantly, despite misconception she can very well die. If not physically than emotionally and for the Preliator it is a curse to die rather than face the pain and phase."
There was an erie silence between the Demigods, Chiron, and Will. They were all shocked by Will's words, yet his voice told them it was all true that the pain he described not only had he seen but felt.
"Then what do we do?" Annabeth said, breaking the silence between them.
"Try one of the Safe Havens, they span the world there open to anyone who has been endangered by Dru, magical or mortal. Just ask the magical creature here to take you to 'A Safe Haven of the Preliator.'"
"Your not coming with us?" Thalia asked, curious to why the boy who stood before her was not planning on looking for the girl he considered family. Will chuckled and shook his head, as if Thalia's words were amusing.
"Hell no! Dru has chosen you four to find her it would be suicide to go against her. Yes, there will be those who have been touched by Dru, they will tell you their stories and help you understand, but the main constant... the only constant on this quest will be you four. No matter how much I wish to be out there looking for Dru, I prefer to keep my head squarely on my shoulders."
"Okay..." Percy said wearily, starting to question weather Dru would actually harm someone for interfering or if Will was just trying to psych them out.
"You should really be going now. Good luck, and God Speed." Will said as his body slowly faded away until he was translucent as if he was a ghost and then completely gone. Leaving the half-bloods with their first clue to their quest. Yet, also leaving the half-bloods with many more questions as the silently walked to the stables to get on there way.
