Chapter 1: Destruction Has Risen

I sighed and ran my hands through my hair annoyingly as I saw Richard and his gang walking over here. I remember for the longest that I wanted to be in that group.

It's funny because, they would always reject me, never giving me the time of day. I swore on that day to become the greatest person there ever was.

Being at the carecenter wasn't that fun. It was only the same routines. Eat, sleep, repeat. I had no friends here. Actually, no one had any friends except Richard.

That's one thing I don't like about him, he's a selfish jerk. He's the type of person you see steal someones lunch money an tell them to do his homework or else.

I shook my head as he got closer. I wasn't in the mood right now. Actually, I was never in the mood when it cam to Richard. I was the only on with the guts to stand tall to Richard and that's how Nexus came.

I didn't take anything from anybody, letting them know, If you want to fight, then you could have one.

But I wasn' always like this. I was once a cute innocent little boy with no shame and care in the world. I was named Perseus Jackson, Percy for short. But that was until Richard and his buddies started teasing me and tauting me about my mothers and fathers death and abandonment.

The caretakers told me to ignore them, but I took there taunts to heart, becoming the person I am today. Nexus Achilles Jackson. Even the caretakers call me Nexus.

While everybody was frightened of Richard and his gang, they were deathly afraid of me. It started by me taking the 'Forbidden Room'. It was rumored that that's where the bad people were sent to die, because of the bloody colored walls. So when I claimed that room as mine, they thought of me as a psycho, leaving me alone forever.

But I got used to it and didn't care what they thought of me. Their fear of me got worse when I demolished a brick wall when I got mad at one of the caretakers. They thought I was some type of demon, ready to kill all humanity or something. Despite their fear of me, Richard and his gang continue to bother me.

I was starting to think about the caretakers when Richard pushed me into the closet. "Hey, I'm talking to you."

I turned around slowly. "What do you want Ricky?!"

His 'friends' snickered at my joke but shut up after he glared at them. He turned back to me. "Nobody calls me that and gets away from it!"

I glanced up at him, bored but dangerously. "Richard, I'm not in the mood. Just leave me alone and all will be well."

"Is that a threat Nexy?" He sneered.

I glared art him. "My name is Nexus and it will do you well if you pronounced it that way," I looked into his eyes. "And no. It's not a threat. It's a warning that you should take into consideration."

One of his buddies tugged on his shoulder trying to pull him away. "Maybe we should leave him alone today. I don't like the way he's looking at us."

Richard pulled his shoulder away. "No. I don't like the way this t*** is talking to me."

I looked around and noticed that a crowd was starting to form. "Look Richard-"

"Forget you. I've been waiting for this for too long. Attack!" Richard and charged.

His friends looked at each other before they charged behind him. I laughed darkly to myself, They have no idea what they just got into.

I grabbed Richard's incoming arm and snapped it with no hesitation. I saw everybody freeze and flinch. Richard started crying and screaming who I quickly shut up with one quick punch to the head, knocking him unconscious.

I glared at my remaining enemies. "You still want to play?"

They shivered and shook there head no multiple times. "Then leave me alone!" I yelled.

They nodded and ran off, dispersing the crowd that once surrounded us. I dropped Richard with a thump and walked to my room. I opened the door and walked in the door, not before slamming and locking my door.

My room wasn't spectacular, but it was better than everybody else's. My walls was black and red, with little light in the room, making the room a little creepy with the dancing shadows. My caretakers were clearly afraid of it, not wanting to take a step nor look in the room.

That's exactly why I took the room, so no one would bother me. My bed had dragon designs on it, with one huge dragon blowing fire in all directions. I sat down and traced the dragon in the middle. It had icy blue eyes with golden scales, the claws were bronze as it was painted.

I went to inspect the bed further when I heard someone knock on the door. "Who is it?" I called out.

"Nexus, someone wants to meet you and adopt you!" I could've swore I heard delight and pleasure taint her voice, but I ignored my instincts.

"Alright. I'll be out in just a sec," I called. I heard her footsteps walk away from my room.

I sighed. Who in their right mind wants to adopt me?

I shrugged as I walked out my room. I turned back and looked at my room for the last time. Maybe one day, someone else will take care of this room. With that thought, I closed the door forever, never to look at it again.

Excuse me but I'm Line Break.

I stood behind the counter, looking at my adoptive parents closely. I was mainly looking at their eyes and I found out something very weird. Mist was covering their eyes, like it was trying to hide something. Before I could look any closer, the caretaker shook my shoulder.

I looked up at her. "It's time for you to leave. Weren't you listening?"

I shook my head. "No."

"Well it's time for you to go." She pushed me towards my adoptive parents. "I hope you enjoy him!"

"Oh we will!" The man called out to her. He looked down at me. "Are you ready to go?"

"As ready as I ever could be." I said, my face void of emotion.

The man laughed and guided me to his car. It wasn't spectacular in my opinion, but it did look expensive. I read the label: Audi 300. I got in the middle while the woman on the right and the man in the driver seat. He started driving and by time I looked back to see the kids, nothing was there. Actually, nothing was here except a dirt road.

I narrowed my eyes at the man. "Alright spill the beans. Who are you guys and what do you want from me."

The man just glanced at me and kept driving. I scowled. I hate when people ignore me. Soon, we were driving on a paved road. Up ahead was a huge black castle that was so tall, it was breaking through the clouds above it. It didn't look that wide, but it probably was underground. The car stopped and the man and woman stepped out the car.

I guess I was supposed to follow them so I jumped out the car. I looked around. The woman, not saying anything, started walking towards the castle door.

The man looked at the lady. "Where are you going? All we have to do is teleport there!"

The woman looked back at the man. "I know but I want to do it the normal way for once."

"We don't have time for that! Drake wants us to get to him as fast as we can!"

The woman huffed and said. "Whatever. Let's go." She walked up to me and touched my arm. "You might get little dizzy."

The world started to get blurry and finally went black. I opened my eyes to see us inside the castle in some type of room. I looked around and noticed the room kinda looked like my old room.

The door to the side opened and walked in were two people, a boy about my age, while the other one an adult.

"Joe! We have a present for Draco! Do you know where he is?" The man said, walking up to the man named Joe and the kid.

Joe looked at me with a boring look in his eyes. I noticed that his eyes were black and his hair was brown. It's like dirt had just died. At that thought I kinda snickered.

"No. He just left to meet with Chaos."

The man nodded. "I guess that's cool. Well I guess we have to tell our little fellow here who we are."

I scowled as I heard him call me a little fellow. Joe and the boy walked up to me. I was slightly taller than him, which made me happy. As they walked up to me, I noticed that the boy's eyes, were brown like a regular mortal.

He stuck his hand out. "I'm Hagan Reeds, son of Nike."

"Nexus Jackson, son of nobody." I smirked as I shook his hand.

Hagan shook my hand hard, like he was trying to intimidate me. Well two can play this game. I gripped his hand hard, making him wince a little. We stood there, staring at each other with hatred, both of us not liking each other.

Joe must have noticed cause he cleared his throat and separated us. "I'm Joe. I have no father nor mother. I was created by Hephaestus to be a servant, but went rouge and went here."

I looked around again. "And where is here?"

"Land of the Dragons." A deep powerful voice said behind me.

I turned around to see the biggest dragon in world history. It was at last 10 feet wide and 40 feet long. Its teeth were the size of daggers and its claws were the size of a fence gate. Yet I felt no fear.

"Who are you?" I called.

"Godric, son of Draco, the heir to the Dragon Throne." He said in his deep voice.

"Wow. You have some voice don't you?" I smirked.

"Uh. I'm Thoth, primordial of inevitability, matter, creation, and time," The man who had adopted me said, stepping in between me and Godric.

I nodded and looked at the woman who had adopted me, who sighed. "I'm Hestia, goddess of the hearth."

I nodded. "That's pretty cool."

Hestia frowned. "Why aren't you surprised?"

It was my turn to frown. "I have no idea. It's like I already know about this stuff. Like I met immortals before."

Hagan snarled. "How do we know you aren't with the Olympians?"

Joe tried to calm him down. "Hagan, don't do anything-"

"Argh!" Hagan yelled before he charged me with his daggers drawn and his armor on.

"Stupid," Joe finished with a defeated sigh.

As he charged me, I should've felt fear, but instead, I felt elation and anger. I roared at him like a dragon, causing Godric to narrow his eyes at me.

Then I charged him also, weaponless, or so I thought. By time we met up, I had razor sharp claws out of my hands, canines elongated from my mouth, and reptilian slit eyes.

Hagan's eyes widened at the sight and tried to stop charging me, but I was too close. So the only thing he could do was, fight. He swung his right dagger at me, hoping to get an easy kill, but I grabbed the inside of his wrist, cutting and twisting his arm, causing him to the drop the dagger.
I ducked as he swung his left dagger, but was met with a knee to the face. I stumbled back, letting go his arm. He raced forward, swinging his dagger, cutting my arm. I stumbled back again. He sliced upwards, giving me a cut from the right of my chin to the eyebrow.

Seeing the sight of my blood made me crazy. My bloodlust started to get out of control. I charged him with a huge roar and tackled him to the ground. I started swinging at his face, slicing him repeatedly.

I guess Thoth had enough because he went behind me and pulled me off. I knew it was bad to p*** of an immortal, but I was angry. So I did the most sensible thing: I headbutted him.

He let go of me and fell on his back. Hestia gasped at my recklessness. Thoth stood up after a few moments. By then, my claws and teeth faded away, while my eyes went back to my normal eyes.

Joe backed away. "Oh you're so dead."

I glared at him and he fell silent. Thoth looked up at me and growled. "Who the hell do you think you ARE!"

He started charging me, but stopped when he looked at me. I looked at me also, to see if I had something on me or something, but no, I was perfectly fine.

I looked around and everybody was bowing at me except Thoth. "What's going on?"

Godric said in his deep voice. "You have been claimed. Look above you," I looked up to see a dark angel and a dragon swirl. "All hail the son of Draco and the grandson of Erebus and Nyx."

I looked around and said the only thing on my mind. "What the hell is going on?"
