I awoke in a cold sweat on Othrys holding the trident of Oceanus among the titan council who did not look happy..
"Adrian you got some explaining to do, How the in the name of Chaos did you end up in Tartarus?!" Cronus demanded.
"I-I don't know, I went to the astral dungeons I told you about a long time ago, one that resembled hell. Tartarus spoke after I killed an imp and he interfered!"I stammered.
"That explains a lot.. Adrian this wasn't your fault. Those astral dungeons I have been thinking a lot on, if you went to a dungeon that resembled hell then you were quite possibly In or near Tartarus or at least a simulation. That allowed The primordial himself to actually pull you in." Cronus explained.
"Oceanus is dead because of me.." I looked down.
"He'll reform eventually kid, its gonna take A few hundred years though. Maybe as long as a millenia. Did he say anything to you?" Iapetus questioned.
"He said if he perished in the fight to carry on his legacy once I was able. When I woke up you can see I have his trident." I brandished said weapon.
Cronus nodded Solemnly.. "That means we have an heir to his seat on the council. Take good care of that weapon Adrien. It is capable of great destruction. On par with my Scythe and My sons master bolt and trident."
"You're actually letting me keep it?" I asked incredulously.
"To take it would mean dishonoring Oceanus. We wont do that." Hyperion spoke up.
'Your brothers thus far are unaware. However I strongly recommend you tell them. Tartarus has an effect even on us titans let alone a mortal." Cronus informed me.
"How would I go about doing that? Hey Sam, Dean, I just got back from being kidnapped by the primordial of hell. How do I recover?" I snarked.
"That would actually be a good start little bro." Dean said.
"I whipped my head to the left to see my brothers standing in the doorway..
"I brought them here Adrien. You needed them." Hecate said.
"Sam told me about those astral dungeons. I didn't realize you could be kidnapped through them." Dean said leaning down.
I shifted my feet..
"Well Tartarus is a primordial." I chuckled.
"One of the first if I remember my mythology. The fact you survived even with a titans help speaks for itself. Cool trident though." Sam said.
I took this moment to observe my new weapon..
Trident of Oceanus Grade mythical
Durability unbreakable
This trident was the symbol of the titan Oceanus before his death at the hands of Tartarus. It now serves Adrien Winchester. Most of its power is blocked due to its masters status as mortal but at its full might it can harm and kill even the strongest of beings such as leviathan and even the mighty archangels! However right now it is still a formidable weapon capable of slaying most beasts grants skills hydromancy, electromancy.
Special. To me, has the same enchant as the legendary hammer of Thor and as such can be summoned back after being thrown.
"That trident was Oceanus symbol. It can be reduced to a smaller form if you want me to show you how Adrien." Cronus offered.
"It's like my gun right? How it turns into a ring." I asked.
"Precisely." Cronus confirmed. Just imagine it turning into something inconspicuous."
I concentrated on the trident and willed it turn into a vambrace from Assassins creed and the trident gradually shrank until it grew up my arm...
Soulbound weapon gained Trident of Oceanus!
Ascension quest obtained! Take on the mantle of the titan of the sea!
Reach 200 Strength, dexterity, Wisdom, Constitution. To begin to take the mantle.
"Lord Cronus I don't know if I could ever replace Oceanus " I said truthfully.
"Luckily Adrien you don't have to yet." My main patron said putting a hand on my shoulder and firmly squeezing.
"Lord Cronus I think it's high we took our brother home." Dean suggested.
The titan lord looked Dean up and down and said simply "No, I do not trust that Tartarus won't attempt another kidnapping. For tonight at least he rests here. You may as well should you wish."
"But our stuff is back at the motel!" Dean protested.
"Easily fixed, Hyperion, Fetch their belongings please, and don't damage them." Cronus instructed.
The titan of the east rose and strode forward before asking "What room number Winchester."
"Thirty eight." Sam said.
The titan vanished in a flash of gold light..
"Adrien come, you can bunk with me!" Hecate said tugging on my arm.
In a haze I barely heard Dean wolf whistle and I threw a blast of magic at him which he of course dodged..
Hecate began to lead me through the halls until we stopped at a large ornate door..
"Adrien be truthful. Are you alright." Hecate asked worriedly.
"Truthfully? No I'm not." I admitted.
"I had to run as the eldest titan died. A titan I thought didn't even like me. Now I have to live to his legacy. I'm terrified." I said.
The titaness I was in love with rubbed my back as I began to hyperventilate...
"That's understandable, I remember having to watch as many of my followers began to call on demons for aid instead of me as they used to. It angered me, it still does. I worry for the souls lost to me. But Oceanus is not gone forever. All of us at one time or another have had to reform. Tis inevitable." Hecate lamented.
With that She swung the door open and my first look at Hecates bedroom occurred.
It was actually rather impressive. A chandelier hanging in the middle, multiple gaming systems stacked in the corner with every game you can imagine, full entertainment center and of course a king sized bed but the main attraction was a hot tub on a balcony outside.
"It isn't much compared to your military base but it's home." Hecate shrugged.
I stared at the titaness wide eyed.
"This blows my military base out of the damn water!" I said.
The titaness grinned and said "I'm glad you think so!"
"Hecate where do I go from here? Will you still come with us?" I asked.
" I most certainly will be!" Hecate answered. But for now let's go to bed Adrien.
Five Am the next morning
I felt a hand shaking me awake and I immediately pulled my new weapon from its concealed form and thrust it forward but judging by the deep chuckle I knew I missed..
"Not bad brat you nearly got me!" Atlas said
"Atlas what the fuck?! I hissed.
"Up and at em kid. It's time for me and my old man to make sure you're in fighting shape to handle that trident and if you are you get another little gift we have in the armory." Atlas said.
I admit part of me was tempted to tell Atlas to fuck off but the bigger part was intrigued at what he wanted to give me so I groaned and got dressed in my combat outfit before following Atlas to the training room.
To my shock my brothers were also there!
"Sam,Dean what are you two doing here?" I asked.
"We're in this for the long run kid. We want to see this. Plus we may or may not have gotten Atlas to help train us up too." Sam said.
I felt a tremor on the floor as Iapetus slammed his spear into it..
"Enough chit chat Adrien! Ready thine weapon! Fight me as if you are attempting to kill! This is a challenge as in the old days! Should this fight please me this will be your prize!" Iapetus gesured to an armor I recognized from a game I played in my last life.. Nightmare ventus from Kingdom hearts.. Myself and Hephaestus have been toiling on this armor for a long time. It will hold to a great deal off attacks and can be disguised as normal clothing.
Challenge quest obtained impress Iapetus in a spar Rewards Nightmare ventus pseudo divine armor
Two level ups skill trident wielding
Failure Iapetus disappointment
Instantly the titan of mortality surged towards spear raised and I barely got my trident raised in time to block before slashing at Iapetus with the prongs scoring a thin cut on his arm..
"Good Adrien good!" Iapetus complimented!
"If you liked that let's see how you like this" I smirked.
I concentrated on the tridents powers over electricity but before the current I felt pain blossom in my leg and I fell to one knee..
"Lesson one child. In a life and death fight you don't get the time to do things slowly. You tried to do it this time and it cost you! It's good you thought of the tridents electrical abilities and I commend you for it but now you are on a timer." Iapetus warned.
I grinned and said it's also only cheating if the other guy does it. I thrust the prongs of the trident into Iapetus gut and channeled electricity managing to shock him...
"ARGH!!" The titan yelled.
"Atta boy Adrien!" Dean yelled.
Quest completed. Impress Iapetus
Rewards given Nightmare ventus pseudo divine armor.
Level up x2 skill trident wielding.
"I'll admit you got me there ya little shit. Did you let me slash you good?" Iapetus questioned.
"Hell no. This hurts!" I said.
"I bet it does!" Iapetus chuckled. Come here. Lemme fix that!
The titan put his hand over the wound and I felt a warmth when he lifted his hand it was as if the wound was never there.
"That's handy!" I remarked.
"It can be, but anyways Cronus wants a word with you before you and your brethren as well as my niece head out " Iapetus mentioned.
"Did he say why?" I asked.
"Something about one of his old motorcycles, a lot harder to destroy then a mere replica of the ghost riders bike" Iapetus waved off..
Dean clapped his hand on my shoulder and said "you alright little brother?"
"I'm grateful I didn't die. Lord Iapetus used his divine power in that strike. One misstep and I would have been cut in half." I grimaced.
"And the Colt wouldnt work on him I assume?" Sam said.
"He's a titan at his full divine might, you may as well shoot a piece of steel for all the good it would do." I scoffed.
"Anyways, let's go see Cronus and head out.." I said"
