Half-Blood War (Aslumber)

[Rayne Engel]

Story

Not in the too distant future, the god of the Underworld was fed up with his brothers Zeus and Poseidon. Far too long has he dealt with their arrogance. Hades was tired of dead after dead. There was no life where he lived... He needed a plan. A way to get back at them for ruining his eternity and he had the perfect idea. All those little demi-gods. He would destroy every last one (except his of course). He thought a little demi-god war would be just the distraction needed to un-foil the real plan.

*Ty would like to note that in Greek mythology (or Roman, but pretty sure it's Greek) that Artemis was a "virgin" goddess. Either we'll pretend that she broke down and had kids, or there's some sorta plot device going on here.

At an older age, Hades decided that it was time for his son to get on with business: Find the other demi-gods and send them into disarray. Now Theras steps onto the surface for the first time.

Only when he tried to kill himself through starvation, torn that the only parent he knew of would choose to ignore him did she appear.

Oceanas snorted and stomped his hoofs. Luna stopped and turned to him, placing her hand on his snout. "Whats wrong? Do you hear something?". The steed snorted again, nodding forward. Just then a harsh wind blew around them. Oceanas nudged her over his head and onto his back and began galloping deep into the forest. Luna turned to see demonic creatures chasing after them. She gasped and held tight to her companion's mane. Faster, Oceanas! Run!

He followed close behind the demons chasing the girl and her horse. He knew why they were after her. She was one of the few children of Poseidon. She was a rare case. Either way it was his job to deliver the package, and Poseidon would have his head if his daughter died while he was there. Devon sighed as he jumped through the trees, half flying between branches. He smiled to himself; most jobs weren't as entertaining as this.

On there way home from shopping, Len and Ren were laughing at jokes they were telling one another. Ever since they found they're true home they had been happy and found themselves never wanting to leave. They arrived to Pa's shop to find the door busted down. Len rushed inside ahead of Ren, who was unable to move, afraid. Len found they're Pa lying on the floor, cut up, blood everywhere. Tears began streaming down his face as he turned to face his twin sister standing in the door, her eyes wide, her hand cupping her mouth. A light surrounded them and there stood a man, glowing like the sun. "Hello, my children. I am Apollo, your father." The two stared in disbelief, unable to speak. "I can not express how sorry I am for your loss, and I don't have time to explain why I have appeared to you. Please just accept my gifts." He handed them both a pipe reed, with gold patched into its design. "There is another gift I have given you that you will receive very soon, and with it will come all the answers you seek. Be patent my children." With that Apollo disappeared and the two hugged each other and wept over the lost of their human "father".

Rhi walked through the now empty streets of the carnival, picking up litter with a few of her fellow carnies. She picked up a flyer advertising her show and crumpled it up angrily. This was a life Rhi knew she didn't deserve, but could hardly find a way to escape from it. A sigh escaped her as she sat down on a bench. Why can't my life have at least a bit of excitement? Rhi thought to herself. After some time in deep thought, Rhi stood up, looking around to make sure no one noticed her slowly blend in to her surrounding area. Once completely camouflaged, Rhi walked quietly in to the woods in an attempt to escape from her current life.

Gerad had been walking for a long time. He had never expected it to be sucha long journy. he wasn't on any major roads but on a small country path. His pack covered his sheild and sword from view so he wouldn't be seen as suspicous. It was also a good thing his spear's head could detach easily, made it seem like a walking stick. He looked up at the night sky, beautiful and clear. He sighed to himself as he took out a drink. He was just putting the lip of the drink to his mouth when he began to hear a horses gallop. He quickly capped the drink and pulled the spear tip from one of his pack's pouches. He had placed the pouch on the ground in front of him and brought his sheild to his left arm. He had attached the spear tip to the top and got into a Spartan like stance. He also heard something...else. It obvoiusly wasn't anything good and he assumed that whatever the horse was running from was the things behind it. There he waited in the middle of the path. Why do bad things always only happen to me?  

[Ty Gwynnia]

"So, what d'ya think of the surface, kid?" "It's...different. Nice. Cooler. Open. And nighttime." Theras stepped off from the boat, legs long used to the change from water to land, and turned back to Charon. "How long until sun up?" His fingers twitched up to the black cloth tied around his eyes. It was thin enough to see through but dark enough to block harsh light. He'd been advised to wear it until his eyes were used to the surface's sun. " 'Can't say for sure. A few hours maybe. Oh, don't forget this." Charon tossed something lazily to Theras, who caught it easily and put it on. It was a whistle made from bone on a string. Putting it to his lips, he blew on it, but no sound was heard. The ground cracked a few feet away from him. "I'm headin' back. If you want my advice, head towards any trouble. Yer bound to find something." 'Thanks, Charon" A claw emerged from the ground, and soon a massive dog with glaring red eyes stood at Theras's hip, the smell of brimstone rolling off it. "No problem, kid. See ya around." With that, Charon stuck his oar back in the water and began to row back the way he'd come, whistling under his breath. Theras glanced at the Hellhound beside him, noting the direction it was staring in, ears perked. "Let's go then, boy." His coat rustled slightly as he mounted the beast, letting it run the way it had sensed others like it was. With luck, he'd find what he wanted to as well.

"Miss Heron, what might you be doing?"
"Jira, I told you it was Jira."
Erik sighed, chin in his hand as he watched his cousin at work. He assumed she'd been forging something, but it looked like she was only adding more carvings to her warhammer. It was what she did, he noticed, in her spare time. "You know, you remind me of those short people..."
"Please, I'm much prettier than them." Jira stuck her tongue out at him, wiping her bangs out of her face while the metal cooled. Frowning as she stared at it, she took a small chisel and made an adjustment. "Agh, everything's so boring when the works done!" Her work hammer clanged down on the table next to her, startling Erik from his doze.  

[Rayne Engel]

(omg im getting all hyper and excited! I've missed this so! biggrin )

Luna saw a boy ahead on the path after topping a hill. Oceanas slowed down to a gallop and stopped beside him, trusting him and knowing his power. "W-who are you? Can you help me" Luna stuttered over her words, scared half to death, not know why shes being chased.

Devon flew up past the demons and landed in front of the boy and Luna, who jumped with surprise. He looked at the boy and turned around to see the demons, who began to surround them. There was maybe 50 to 60, all armed with spears and javelins. At least its not the really strong ones... These are weak.

They were packed up and ready to go, both carrying a bag over their shoulders. Len was already out the door, Ren stopped him. "Len... Will we be okay?..." He looked down, and then out on the street, crowds of people walking by. "I think we will. We do have a god as our father." She nodded and they both started down the road, Ren holding on to the corner of Len's sleeve.  

[Strider Wolfheart]

Gerad sighed and put his shield away. "Man and here i thought it would be a hard fight. Just sit back. I'll take care of this." Gerad spun his spear like a bo staff as the demons charged. Gerad continued to fling the spear around smacking them with both ends as they went flying. Every now and they he would use the spear tip to stab until finally only about 30 demons were left. Gerad sighed again. "At least there are a lot of them." Gerad swung his spear as one attempted to charge, hitting him in the neck, and hearing it's neck crack and break. Gerad looked back at the other guy. "You gonna join in or do you want me to take care of 'em?"  

[Rayne Engel]

Show off. Devon glared at him. "I thought you said would take care of it." He took his daggers out of his sleeves and jumped three of the creatures, slicing the back of their skulls open and stabbing the other in his chest when it turned around. Devon twisted the blade as he spun around to kick one running up behind him.

Luna stared at them in disbelief. Oceanas reared back on his hind legs, demons jabbing at him. Luna screamed and held on tight to him.

Devon remembered something Poseidon told him. "Give her my gift right away. Right when you see her." "Oh s**t." He cut another demon, on his 10th one.  

[Strider Wolfheart]

Gerad whipped around after taking his shield from his back and flung it like a disk at the demons surrounding the girl knocking several on their feet, forcing them to turn their attention back towards him and the other guy. He continued to swing with his spear. It wasn't long before most were either dead or out cold. The few left were starting to back away. "Hm, you think we should let them go?" Gerad looked at the guy. "They seem quite scared."  

[Rayne Engel]

"I honestly don't care either way. They did their job of entertaining me." He stepped on the one he knocked to the ground, crushing its ribcage. "I need to give Luna her gift." He held his hands out and a light glowed and a box formed in his hands, decorated in swirls of gold.
"How do you know my name?!" She gasped.
"I'm a messenger of the gods. I know every dimi-god's name. Even his." He nodded towards Gerad.  

[Strider Wolfheart]

"Well. Guess it's their lucky day. Their master'll probably take care of em if we let them go anyway." Gerad lunged forward. "Boo!" All the demons ran as they dropped their weapons. "Seriously, if they wished to kill any of us then they should have been stronger. But if what you say is true then you already know my name. But this girl, Luna was it? Doesn't. I am Gerad Agosi. Nice to meet you." Now that he finally got a look of the girl he noticed she was quite a bit younger than him, a mere kid almost. But she sure seemed cute. He shook his head, thoughts like that weren't neccessary now. "So now that that is taken care of what now?"
