Chapter 15: I Meet a Big Unfriendly Giant

I froze instantly. I had beaten the monsters yesterday but this was a different category of monster altogether. The thing was a giant about twelve feet tall. He had razor-sharp fangs and glowing red eyes. His skin was an unusual dark red colour and his arms had many tattoos on them.

I thought of the book the BFG but this giant was obviously not friendly. He stepped forward and growled viciously.

I drew my sword but my hand was shaking a little and I was afraid that I might drop it. I stared at the giant who was grinning evilly at me.

"Lunch!" he roared and stalked forward still wearing that evil smile.

"I will feast on your bones." he told me excitedly, "It has been a long time since I ate a demigod of your kind."

"What do you mean, my kind?" I asked. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about.

"You don't know?" the giant asked. "He hasn't claimed you yet?"

"Ok," I said "I'm just going to walk away now."

"Oh I thought you would stay for some lunch." said the giant looking a little hurt.

"No thanks," I said "Bye."

I turned my back but the giant lunched at me swiftly and before my brain could catch up, I had reacted with lightning speed. I slashed at the giant but he just jumped back and laughed.

"Did you seriously think that you could beat me?" he laughed so hard that his eyes watered "I am a Laistrygonian. A cannibal giant from the north."

"A what." I asked. The giant laughed evilly.

"I will tell you who your father is."

"Stop lying!" I snapped. I was sick of this stupid giant playing with me so I slashed at him again and this time I hit his waist and he broke into dust.

I kicked the dust and kept walking through the forest. Although I knew that the giant was probably lying, I couldn't shake the idea of finding out who my dad was.

I entered a clearing and saw a tall dark haired man waiting for me. I recognized him instantly. It was Hades.

"Hello, Nico." said Hades "I am here to claim you as a son."
