"So… where are we? This looks like a forest of Midgard, but it feels… different" Walking through the woods, a young boy with red hair wonders. "You're right about one thing lad, this realm appears like Midgard, i'd even go so far as to say it is, but the air is rather foren to me too." Another voice says, this one sounding older, coming from the tall man behind the boy says. "I know not this forest, but i feel something familiar, as if i know this place" The man with ashen white skin says.

Walking through the woods where two people, well technically three, but we will get to that later. The first is a boy, around the around the age of 12, red hair on his head and covering himself with clothes of fur. in his hand he holds a norse themed longbow, the thread giving off a slight yellow glow, while strapped to his back is a holster containing arrows. His face littered with different scars, hands covered in strange blue paint and runes.

The man next to him is a intimidating sight to behold, a large body with muscles, his skin looking as if he had painted it white, a red line going along his body and over his left eye. His stomach showing a large scar mark. Clad with a pauldron on his shoulder and legs covered by fur. On his back he carries two weapons, one is a two handed axe, covered from its hilt in elegant gold trimmings and runes inscribed on its blade. The second weapon, or weapons, are two wicked blades, the blades coming from a hilt that looks like a demon's mouth opening.

"For now though, we move." The man said roughly and the boy followed. after walking for a while they come across a broken down tree and arrows on the ground. "Hm… these arrows… they look familiar." the main said, his brain slowly turning as he looked over the arrows. Suddenly, it clicked, his eyes narrowed and slightly growled in annoyance.

"What is it?" the young boy asked carefully, "This arrow, it belongs to either Artemis or one of her hunters." The man snarild out. "Artemis, you sure brother? i don't mean to sound disrespectful of you, but if that is true, then we are no longer in any of the nine realms." the old voice said again.

"Of this i know, keep your guard up, if there is one thing i know, she will treat us as a enemy, even if i weren't here," The man exclaimed, but before they could say anything, they heard the roar of some kind along with shouting. "Hm, sounds like trouble up ahead, want to go see it?" The old voice said. "The man simply grunted and ran along the boy towards the sound.

Pov, Artemis

Of course, i had to run into Poseidon's boy, of all the men i could have found it just had to be this little trouble bringer. i Looked at the Manticore in front of us holding the girl Annabeth, i was about to give a hand of command so that my hunters would fire again at the beast, but suddenly a red projectile comes from behind and stabs the manticores arm, it howls in pain, dropping Annabeth as the blade pulls the monster closer.

"Boy, now!" a gruff voice yelled as two yellow glowing arrows hit the monster, causing it to jerk around as electricity danced around its body. Than a axe glowing blue smashed into its chest, my eyes widened as the monster started to freeze into nothing more than a statue of ice.

Many times i tried to process what just happened, i don't remember hearing of a axe with such abilities, though that blade looked somewhat familiar. I was interrupted out of my thoughts as the axe is somehow launched out and returns the way it was launched. Following it i saw two people behind us, one a large calm brute looking at me with some anger in his eyes, the other was a young boy with a expert crafted bow in hand. I would not lie, I wanted that bow.

But, i could not just let them step in and just expect me to be grateful, they are men after all.

"Who are you, why are you here?" I ask with authority, only the boy seems slightly intimidated, the man with ash like skin did not falter for a second, he simply looked annoyed. "None of you concerns." He answered roughly. I could not help but feel insulted.

"You will answer Lady Artemis man, who are you!" Zoe shouted at him, for some reason, a chill went up my spine.

"We were just traveling, we didn't mean anything." the boy said, carrying himself now. "And how can i just believe that, strangers just appearing out of nowhere, helping us kill a monster and then just walking away. I do not believe that," I told them, the man simply looked at me for a moment before turning around, some of us took a step back when seeing something strapped on behind him, a head with horns and golden glowing eyes.

"Well, i'd be happy to answer ya questions m'lady, but we got business to get too." the head spoke. I did not know what to say, the Jackson boy plus a monster i could handle. But two unknown people and a talking severed head i could barely handle. "You will stay here man, and i will have answers, even if they have to come from the head." I ordered, for a second i believe that he would just keep going, the boy stopped him. "Wait, let's just stay a little, we need some shelter for the night, right?" the boy asked, trying to reason with the older man, he simply grumbled slightly.

"Fine, we will stay, for now." I smirked a little, thinking that he had learned his place. After having a talk with the Jackson boy, i ordered the hunters to set up camp, the boys being forced to make one away from ours. After that i asked for the man to join me, his scowl was heavier now for some reason. "Now, who are you man?" He simply looked at me with slight annoyance and hesitation.

Then he gave me my answer, what he answered was something odd, my mind seemed to work hard as if to remember who he was, as if i have seen him before. Suddenly i felt dread and fear crawl into me, in my mind a image came. Standing on a mountain, the world was ending. All that from his name being said.

"Kratos."
