Chapter 1 Back from the dead
Luke's POV
Luke Castellon the Son of Hermes stepped out of the doors of death into brilliant sunlight which filled the world of all things living. He fell to his knees in disbelief, muttering to himself. "This can't be real. It's a cruel joke from Hades." He waited for the Furies to descend upon him, Or the countryside suddenly melt into lava. After some minutes of nothing happening Luke sat back on his heels and studied the landscape around him. It was Beautiful full of rolling hills, bright green grass and dotted with trees. A sparkling river wound its way through the hills, and just as Luke decided that there was no immediate danger or torture in the area it changed. The birds stopped singing and the ground in front of him began to move, taking on the form of a woman. Her eyes were closed, head crowned by flowers and her dress was the swirling ground and grass. Hurriedly Luke changed his position, Balancing on his left knee he put his right foot forward, then crossed his forearms over his right knee bowing his head in gesture of respect. Luke wondered briefly what immortal he had the displeasure to meet this time, though he came to the conclusion it didn't matter he didn't dare question the goddess. After all Luke knew Immortals he knew precisely what made them tick, what made them feel in control or out of it. And if there was one thing he was especially good at it was judging timing and he knew now was not the time to question. The woman's voice came to him speaking in his mind. (Luke Shuddered at a memory the voice conjured up.) Her tone was quiet as if a sleepwalker speaking out of a dream.
"Luke Castellon, a Bain of Olympics in your own right. You have proven yourself resourceful fleeing the Underworld without my assistance. Not only that but you served my son Cronos well in your previous life, up until your final moments that is."
Luke raised his head forcing a mask of calm on his face while speaking.
"If Cronos is your son, then you are the earth mother."
"Yes Half-Blood I am Gia. A new Era is coming I will finish what you and my son started. Now because of the great service you performed for my son I will give you a choice in your part to play. Join me and stay here in the ancient lands, and not only will I give you revenge on Percy Jackson but I will make you a king in the world to come. Or you can simply decide to stay out of my way and I will let you live in my new world. Though if you choose to cross me I will destroy you alongside the rest of your race."
"Earth mother I thank you for your grace towards me. However, how can I be sure you will keep your promises?"
"It is wise of you to ask for assurances not many think to do so, So take this as a gift of goodwill."
She closed her hands and when she opened them again Backbiter lay in her outstretched hands.
