Chapter 3: I Have a Brother?
Disclaimer: We don't own PJO or HOO
"I don't have a brother!" I shouted at my so called brother.
"Damn it! Screw you Chaos!" He exclaimed under his breath.
The world started spinning around me. I tried to stand as well as I could but I lost too much blood. The world gave up under me and I fell unconscious. Well not completely. I struggled against it. I refused to be considered weak in his eyes.
He walked over with worry in his eyes. I fell unconscious. I saw visions or memories I saw my so called my brother younger with me playing games having a great time and all that good stuff. I then saw him walking off with a pack and me crying in the back. I started remembering all that. I felt elated as well sad with pain and misery also mixed in. I remembered having all my good memories with him and that we were basically inseparable.
I awoke feeling like crap. I saw a fire pit in front of me it was late in the night almost midnight. I saw my "brother" leaning against a tree with his head down. We were in a secluded place in a forest. I sat and stared at the fireplace and saw the last embers burn out. My crappy headache finally died down. He finally awoke. He spoke in a gentle and calming voice, "You awake now, eh? Anyway, you remember anything." I nodded with hesitation. I analysed him. He had glowing skin which was tinted gold. He wore a cloak around his clothes. He had a backpack leaning against him. He was fairly muscled. It was more lean muscle.
"So I guess we're brother?" I asked him.
"More like twins. Anyway... we better start travelling this place is not a great a place to rest. It has too many places I which people can stumble in."
He shouldered his pack and I picked up Westenra and hung onto my back. "Crap I have all my stuff at my camp."
"No worries I have all of it in my backpack. I used the mental link that we have to locate it."
"What? A mental link. How..." I accepted it and moved on.
So we started trekking through the woods, when we stumbled on to a shrine. It was overrun with vines and weeds. The stone was carved with intricate carvings. They depicted an ancient war of sorts. It gave us the chills. Tacitus started muttering curses. A huge arch of marble suddenly appeared. It attracted us to it. We had to step through, it was so inviting. It went against our will.
We passed through it. A euphoric sensation filled us. We passed out. We awoke to the padded floor of a forest. It was midnight. We looked around in surprised. I froze. I knew this place. I racked my brains but all I got was a major headache. Then when I lest expected this is what happened.
*Flashback*
I raced through the forest with my brother. A laugh escaped my mouth. Tacitus was laughing as much as I was. Then I heard woman voice and Tacitus and I ran towards her voice. There was a clearing in the forest with a woman standing next to a building with a smile. Her gleaming light chestnut brown covering most of her face. She had very pale skin like me. I ran towards her and engulfed her into a bear hug sending her to ground. Tacitus stood there with a smile.
The woman simple white dress , now dirtied by me tackling her to the ground. Tacitus came into the embrace and picked me up by the scruff of my shirt and pulled me of the woman. The woman's face immediately morphed into a serious look. While they talked I looked around the area to see if I can seek out the place.
If felt a sudden pull as past Tacitus and I were pulled.
*End Flashback*
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter we promise to increase the words but I had very little time to write it sadly. Terrible cliff-hanger though. Hopefully we can update more frequently.
