Really busy guys, but I'm back
Animeman; Pretty much
Lightning; You could say that
Well, its time to reveal Theron's parent, I'm surprised no ones guessed it yet. Or jabbed at it, or anything. I thought I hinted at it well, nice and subtle, but still rather there. Anyway, I will devote a few chapters to explaining how Theron, Zaria and the rest of the current scenario came to be
Be free to voice your wild theories and options of this chapter, I would like to here them.
Bear Mountain
The popular State Park, its green rolling hills and gleaming lake having attracted many people over the ages, and may have possibly been the place where Kate Smith had recorded her theme song, When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain, here, was populated and frequented by many wild animals, ranging from the tiny squirrel to the mighty bear, hence its name
However, in the early morning light, only a single fisherman was present, his rod danging in the water to lure in the fish he sought, spotted something rather odd
A bright light was dashing across the path alongside the lake, almost like a comet.
He blinked, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, as the blur flew into the woods, and vanished from sight. The man looked into the water.
"I need to stop having this fish...I'm seeing things" He looked down into the water, to see something gold...
"I'm seeing things...I'm seeing things..." he rowed his boat away
However, a few hours later, a teenager saw the same thing, and grabbed a rare early american gold piece, worth to collectors over five hundred thousand dollars
With it, the teen put a down payment to his college, fully bought a car, and was later set for life
Camp Half Blood
"COME OUT NOW, THERON JACKSON!" A voice bellowed
Theron yawned, ignoring it
"I, ZEUS, ORDER YOU!"
Theron sighed, wishing he still had an Ipod to drown out Zeus's yelling...
When the door to the cabin was blown from its hinges.
The door impacted into the wall, sticking into it like a really big tack, as a band of electricity wrapped around Theron like rope, pulling him out.
Struggling, he was hoisted up, bound, before the salt and pepper haired king of the Gods, Zeus.
He was not amused
"That, is what happens to those who defy me!"
Theron frowned "You know, I hope you know someone who can repair that?" the binds tightened as he said that. Around Zeus were gods, who based off the descriptions his mom and the rest of the family had given, were Apollo, Dionysus, Athena and Hera.
"SILENCE!" Apollo then walked forward, looking rather serious, and rather loathful, look on him
So...his mother did guess his reaction then, even if he couldn't know himself
"You, Theron Jackson, possess information on the whereabouts of Perceus Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Nico Di Angelo, and Thalia Grace. You will now tell us, now"
Theron frowned "And why would I, exactly do that?"
"Because we, the gods, order you to!" Hera snarled.
"So the Peahen shrieks" Theron mused, as Hera looked ready to kill him "Oh, if your aiming to kill me, you might as well do it, before I say anything you need, and take my knowledge to Uncle Nico and his family"
Apollo glared at the boy "Don't make me do something your regret"
Zeus grinned darkly, there was a reason he had Apollo for this, particular interrogation, and it wasn't just for being the god of Truth. Dionysus had informed him of his mental shields
And Apollo, knew how to make children of water talk
"You will talk, Αρκούδα μυστικά σας με ειλικρίνεια!" Apollo cast as a golden light illuminated Theron for a time, before it shorted out
All the gods were stunned, Apollo's truth spell failed.
Athena blinked in particular...her hypothesis...could that be the answer. Only one person was immune to that power...
Apollo growled "No matter, I have other ways of getting you to talk"
"What, that old Oprah show? Or perhaps you prefer that Dr. Phil show, my mom" Apollo detected a lie, not knowing he was referring to Annabeth there, he just assumed he was a closet fan of them "Likes to watch them and has their entire series on video"
Apollo briefly smiled about his daughter and son, before glaring at the boy again, why did this kid infuriate him so much "No" his hands began to glow, as he pressed them onto Theron's sides...
As his power again shorted out
His power, to use the sun to painfully evaporate the water in his blood, failed.
Apollo backed away from the still bound demigod, stunned to a point of Haikuing
This Demigod bothers me
He won't tell the truth
Why won't my powers work
He cursed the boy in an undertone right after he finished, unheard by anyone
Everyone present shivered at the Haiku that was just preformed, before Hera turned on Apollo
"You, are totally USELESS!" she screeched, before she turned on the boy, before summoning a razor sharp peacock feather in her hand, that looked like something Ares would give her for mothers day.
"This, is the way to get them to talk"
Athena looked alarmed, if she was getting the right feel from this, then her not grandson was in danger. If anything, he was even more interesting now "Hera, that is overkill..."
"I'LL SHOW HIM OVERKILL!" Hera placed the sharp feather by Theron's neck "Now then, where is your mommy?"
"Right here...bitch" a silver arrow flew through the air and struck Hera in the neck. Coughing a fit, Hera collapsed to the ground, as a silver blur formed around Theron's binds
The blur took a form of a young adult, about age 24, a tall and lithe figure with tanned skin, as if she spent a long amount of time outdoors, with auburn hair that was tied in a long ponytail that went down to her shoulder blades. Her feet were covered by combat boots, silver camo pants and a silver jean jacket, covering a bluish gray shirt.
Athena frowned, her hypothesis was correct...as impossible as it seemed
A slash from a knife broke the binds, as Theron drew his phone, and clicked the end button, as the phone activated its other form
Of a bronze bow, of which both weapons were trained at Dionysus.
They fired, as both of their loaded, silver arrows impacted into Dionysus's chest, knocking him to the ground. Had be been mortal, that would have been a fatal wound.
However, both he and Hera entered their true forms as they returned to Olympus, the woman's thin, yet toned, arm blocking her son from the light, while she herself was unaffected by it
Zeus, Apollo and Athena were stunned
"Artemis?"
The huntress grabbed Orion as they both vanished in a silver flash. Zeus looked around in a fury, glad no Demigods were up to see that
"WHERE DID SHE GO? GET HER! I WANT AN EXPLANATION!"
Gettysburg National Military Park
A battle field of valor, sacrifice and blood, where North fought south, where golden grass shimmered in the breeze, long silent cannons and defensive fortifications stood alongside modern roads and monuments to the many fallen warriors from this land
A place where, behind the veil of mist, another battle raged, a fiercer war than even the Civil war...
But, now is not the time to go into that, I do believe we have something more modern to be discussing...
Running was a skill of Artemis, having honed it over thousands of years in the forests of Europe, the Near East, and North America, long range teleportation, in particular with a passenger, was not something she was particularly good, or endurable, with . So, Artemis reformed from her silver blur, her son alongside her, a few miles off course in the ancient battlefield, the both of them overlooking the tall forest viewpoint of Little Round Top, the empty battlefield before them
Theron smiled "Thanks...mom" she hugged him
"I'm just glad to see your safe, my son. Everyone will be happy to see you again, they were so worried about you...oh Theron" she tightened the hug as golden tears began to leak from her eyes
"My son...my only child" it wasn't like she needed to give him a sibling, he had Sheron, Zaria...
"You know...Olympus is going to know now" Theron brought up as she opened her normally moon light colored eyes, that at times, such as now, appeared moon gray, generally when she was experiencing extreme emotion. "I mean, I may have played the plan well enough, with only Chiron picking that up, not even Athena seemed to, but you sort of made it obvious" She sighed
"It was unavoidable. I'm not ashamed to have a child, I just hope..." Theron collapsed right in front of her, out of nowhere
"THERON!" She picked him up, before taking a smell of him...
"Apollo" she growled, he must have cursed him with some unknown illness while he was trying to force him to rat them out. Placing a hand on his forehead, she flinched at the heat he was radiating.
"Water...need water..." she smelled the air again, as the scent of owls, pens and paper hit her nose. She forced herself up, a sword in hand, as she turned to confront Athena
The goddess of battle strategy glared back at the goddess "I'm surprised at you, Artemis" she said with contempt "You of all people, to break your virgin oath, and with Jackson. And then, to have a son? I'm surprised you didn't just drown him at birth and try until you had a girl?"
Feral rage was welling up in Artemis at her insult to her son, but she had to get him somewhere with water, and away from the gods domains.
"Was that your offering to rid Annabeth of Hera's blight, your own child?" Athena pressed "You sullied yourself, forever surrendering your virginity, to a son of Poseidon. Orion must be rolling in the stars, you going after his brother" Artemis was barely restraining her urge to maim Athena, obviously she was taking her leave from being a virgin goddess harshly.
"So, that Jackson took the virginity of not only my daughter, but also your own, both woman above his position..."
"Who says he got that" Artemis said in a sad overtone, that Athena overhead and froze briefly in shock. Having planned for this, Artemis grabbed her son and, teleported a shorter distance away, as Athena remained there, shocked at what she had just heard.
However, as this place was dotted with Obelisk style monuments, it was a easy point for some to be there
And so, Carter Kane stood, a spell having hid himself from the goddess, the other gods and Artemis's son, observing their conversation with his hawk eyes and enhanced hearing
"I take it, she's the one?" Carter asked the god who to he was the eye, the Egyptian God of War, and Hunting, Horus.
"Yes, she's the one responsible"
