I stepped through and found that Chaos had gone, but Shadow was still there resting. He seemed to have grown which puzzled me.

"Chaos, where are you." I called and it echoed throughout the halls. A rip appeared and Chaos stepped through. "There you are it's been long enough."

"Long enough." I asked questionably, "How long have I been there?"

"In earth time several months, but however time was frozen else where so your mission was not impeded." Chaos answered. I whistled when he said months but then again we did spend quite a while forging.

"So I hear you are ready?" Chaos asked.

"Indeed, my Lord." I replied.

"Very well then, your mission is simple. Find the creatures that should have been put to rest eons ago and banish them to the deepest crevices of Tartarus, now go."

I drew my swords and with a final nod to Chaos, a whistle signaling Shadow to follow, and a slice I traveled to Earth. The thing that shocked me the most was sunlight. I had not truly seen the sun for almost 2/3 of a year. My eyes quickly adjusted and I scanned my surroundings. I was in a giant wheat field and I saw a mansion in the distance. I sprinted towards it, with Shadow on my heels. There were giant walls with threatening looking turrets lined on top, it all sounded so familiar. Then I remembered.

This was King Midas' home, and he had hindered several demigods on their trips. He also trapped several, so I decided it was time to pay the King a visit. I drew my bow and put a sun arrow in each of the turrets frying the inside. I then jumped over he wall, doing a backflip while in air, to avoid a incoming javelin. I drew Justice and sliced through the metal coating of the machine, like it was butter. Shadow barked to distract the other machines when then he shadow traveled so that they end shooting themselves.

I sprang backwards as I plunged an exploding dagger into the circuits. I rolled to minimize the effect the explosion had on me. I strutted up to the front door, and sliced straight the hinges, and it fell to the ground with a thud. I walked through the main entrance and called, "Midas show your face, you coward." I then deflected and arrow from my left with Silence and threw a dagger, the concealed archer fell from his hiding place to the ground with a thud.

"Very well, I'm coming, I'm coming." I heard an exasperated voice from a room on the second floor. "But come on I'm just a frail old man demigod, you wouldn't harm me."

"I wouldn't if you hadn't caused all this trouble Midas, but I fear that it is necessary for you to return to hell." I answered with conviction.

"Fine may I ask your name, and maybe a request." Midas asked.

"The name's Omega and what is your request, and make it quick my patience is wearing thin."

"We'll I see that your a knight from the insignia on your chest, so I challenge you to a duel, or do you not have the courage." Midas taunted.

"Do not tease me old man, very well I accept your challenge." And I slung my shield ,from its position on my back, to my arm bearing the mark of Omega.

"Oh it is not I that you shall being fighting, son you get another victim." He called out to behind him.

A figure clad in gold jumped off the banister, and landed rolling and came up in a fighting position. He had full armor on, and brandished a sword and shield, and he looked like he knew what he was doing.

"Now this is more fair, eh." Midas commented.

I glared up at him and then back at my opponent. He had begun his advance, and I decided to don my War Form. My clothes shimmer with a black engulfment and then I changed forms. I felt the weight change as my spear was exchanged for the axe, I knew that this was gonna be a sword fight though.

In my change my opponent hesitated for a second, which I instantly used to my advantage. I launched a barrage of attacks on him, slashing this way and that not letting him recover. I stroke down on him with the hilt spike, crushing through his last defense and driving him backwards. He fell down, and I saw him lying there hopeless his word lying several feet away and out of reach. I was about ready to slice downward when I saw his eyes. I realized that he was no older than I and that he was just doing what he was ordered. I saw a chance for a valuable ally, and I held out my hand to him.

"Join me and I will spare you, become a warrior of Chaos. Fight for good by our own rules." I offered.

The face inside the helm seemed puzzled at first, here he was lying defenseless and this man offers him freedom from his tyrannical father. He needed no prompting he got up and removed his helm. He then looked at his father, and knelt down in front of the stranger. "I pledge myself to your service, Omega. My life is now yours, I do your will."

I was pleased that he had accepted and asked him, "What is your name?"

"I am Lityerses, my lord." Lityerses answered.

"To wipe you of your past evils, you shall now be known as Ronan the avenger." I said with authority.

He seemed to like his new name and nodded. "Now lets take care of him shall we." As he motioned to Midas.

"I got this," I said, "Shadow sick him." And Shadow went racing after Midas and after a few minutes we heard a triumphant bark ring through the house. We raced to where it was and found Shadow sitting on top if Midas not allowing him to move.

"Midas I banish you to deepest chasms of Tartarus where you shall never return, burn in hell." And with that I pressed my palm into his forehead burning an Omega into it. He convulsed for a few seconds then lay still. Finally, his body disintegrated into nothing but his clothes.

Ronan found no problem with this and had already left the room to go collect his belongings. I scavenged through Midas' paperwork looking for anything of use. I found that he had shipped several crates to the downtown New Orleans area, it is where we would head next. Ronan reappeared with his few belongings and a suitcase. I then told him what was to happened. I told him that he would go to Chaos and pledge his allegiance then he would be prepared with the weapons of Chaos. Then when I was finished with my final assessment we would be reunited.

Ronan did not object in the slightest bit. He simply nodded and followed me out of the house. I created a world rip for him, and said farewell. Once he had gone I turned back to the house, I decided on a plan of action and summoned fire from the palms of my hands. I threw the orbs at the mansion and they exploded quickly catching fire to the intricate wood designs. I turned and sprinted away, then expanding my winds I glided over the land. Shadow ran on the ground, keeping pace.
