Chapter Three

Kardian's POV

Five years later

For the past 5 years I have been learning about Gods, about my parents and I have been training. Turns out I'm quite skilled with a sword and spears. Father still doesn't want me to reveal myself to anybody so I never get any visitors.

I have also been training with my powers. Turned out I could stop time (not forever unfortunately) rewind time, read people's minds, I could copy anyone's powers if I see them use their powers with my own eyes and I could memorize anything just by catching a quick glimpse. It comes in handy when learning math and stuff. (Yeah, my dad made me learn by getting me math books, science books and so on and I had to read every single one of them!)

Spending time with my dad was great! Of course sometimes he had to leave. He said he was looking for people to join his army so he can be freed. I asked if I could help and he abruptly refused saying 'I don't want you caught up in any of this my son. One day we will be together without having to hide'

I don't fight with him of course. I don't really want to fight anyone. But I'm no stranger to fighting. Father says I'm stronger than most demigods, (which I found out were children of Gods and Goddesses and are half human with powers like me)

Right now I was walking through the forest, on my way to the lake by my house. It was a gorgeous day out today. I for one, intend to make the most of it. Nothing like going for a swim in the lake!

I round the corner to where the lake was to find a kid who looks about my age, maybe a little older, bleeding from a wound to his stomach.

I quickly run to him to offer my help. He sees me and takes out a knife and aims it at me. I quickly put my hands up and stop in front of him.

'I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help. Are you ok?' I ask.

'Who are you?' The guy completely ignores my question.

'My name is Kardian. What is your name?' I ask.

'I'm Luke. Who is your god father?' He asks.

'Uh I am not allowed to say who my father is. But I have a house a few minutes away. I got medical supplies there if you will accept my help' I replied.

Luke dagger hand falls to his side.

'Ok' He manages to say before passing out.

I quickly run to him catch him before he hits the ground. I pull him over my shoulder and walk back home.

So much for swimming at the lake! I thought grumpily.

The walk back was, for some reason, shorter than walking to the lake. I quickly open the front door and close it behind me. I run to the living room table and lay Luke down. I then run to the nearest bathroom and pull out a med kit from the cabinet.

I run back and rip off Luke's shirt to clean the wound. Darn it, I wish I read that medical book dad gave me. It sure would have been useful right now.

Oh well, guess I have to improvise.

I take out a rag from the kit and clean the wound. I then take out wrapping and wrap his stomach with it. Once I'm finished, I go to the kitchen to find something to eat. Opening the fridge, I find some left over pizza.

'Lucky!' I said.

I personally LOVE pizza! It's the greatest invention ever created since the television!

'What's lucky?' I hear someone ask from behind me.

I jump, startled since I never get visitors except my dad.

'Shit, you scared the Hades out of me!' I yelled.

'Sorry' Luke replies sheepishly.

'Its cool. You hungry? I got a whole box of pizza here' I said with the pizza in hand.

'Sure, what does it have on it?' He asks sitting at the table.

'Pepperoni, cheese, sausage, bacon and chicken!' I said, my mouth watering as I listed what the pizza had on it.

'Sounds great! Warm it up already!' Luke says excited.

I rush over to the oven and put the pizza in after I put the pizza on a pizza pan.

I walk over to the table and sit across from Luke.

'So, how did you get hurt?' I ask curiously.

He grunts. 'A guy named Percy Jackson threw a knife at me' He said.

'Oh my dad has mentioned Percy before. He said he is a pain in the butt getting involved in his business' I said shrugging.

Luke just looks at me. 'Who is your dad anyways?' He asks.

'Well I'm not supposed to say anything' I looked down at my hands nervously.

'Since you live here by yourself I'm guessing your dad doesn't want any visitors so why not just tell me who he is?' He asks again.

I sigh. 'Ok, my father is...wait do you promise not to tell anyone?' I ask hesitantly.

He nods. 'I promise I won't say anything to anyone' He says.

I nod. 'Ok, my father is Kronos' I said nervously.

Luke's eyes open wide in shock. He jumps up from his chair, he opens his mouth then closes it several times as if to say something. After about a minute if doing that, he finally sits back down.

'So that's why Kronos told me to stay away from these woods' Luke said.

'He know my father?' I ask.

He nods. 'Of course, I work for your father. I am trying to free him from his prison' Luke replies.

I groan. 'I've been wanting to help my father get free but he never allows me, he says he doesn't want me to reveal myself to the Gods. That's why I can't tell anyone who I am or who my father is' I said.

Luke nods. 'That makes sense. He doesn't want Zues to kill you like he did your mother' Luke says with a sad look in his eyes.

I bow my head. Father told me how my mother died. She got shot by one of Zues' Thunderbolts. She died within seconds. Father told me he was trying to kill me and mother, but mother had managed to toss me into the river where I floated down to where a woman picked me up and took me to the orphanage. Ever since father told me, I've hated Zeus as much as my father does. All Zeus wants is to keep his bloody thrown.

I jump up as I hear the timer go off, signaling the pizza is ready. Instantly I feel much better. I rush to the oven and take the pizza out. I don't need anything to pick up the pan since I'm a demigod. I place the pizza in the table, then rush back into the kitchen, open a cabinet and take out two plates and cups.

I go to the fridge and take out a liter of Pepsi. I love Pepsi, it's the second best thing man has created in my opinion.

I head back to the kitchen to find Luke is on his third pizza!

'Hey! Don't eat all the pizza you fatass!!' I yell.

He grins. 'Sorry, I haven't eaten in three days! I'm starving!' He replies with his mouth full.

'Geesh close your mouth when your chewing. Hasn't anybody ever taught you manners?' I ask annoyed.

I sit down and take two slices of pizza from the pan. I then fill up my cup with Pepsi and dig in.

After we finish eating we go sit on the sofa and I turn on my plays ration 3, intending to play my call of duty Black Ops 2, when he begs me to play.

'Fine, here is the second controller. You better not get me killed! I have a record to keep!' I warned him as I handed him the second controller.

'Bro I'm so good at this game, I make platinum players look like amateurs!' He replied grinning.

I roll my eyes. 'Whatever show off' I said.

I pick up my controller and start the game. I connect to the internet and start the game. I put it on multiplayer and click team death match. I chose my favorite pistal, which is the only weapons use really.

I press start and wait for Luke to finish picking his guns.

15 minutes later and we are still in the weapons screen.

'Dude hurry up! It don't take this long to pick 3 weapons!' I practically scream.

'Don't rush the master! I just can't choose between the shotgun and the sniper rifle' He said.

I groan. 'I don't care what you pick, so long as you pick something now!' I said.

Luke rolls his eyes. 'Ok fine! Shotgun it is' He replied.

I smile happy.

Then the screen shows a selection of different shotguns.

'Oh come on! You have got to be kidding me!' I yelled.

'Don't worry, Mr. Impatient. I know what shotgun I want.' He said.

The game finally started. We were on team blue. Opposing us were two platinum players.

I groan. Curse those damn platinum players. They are so hard to frickin kill!

The match start and I run to a building. Luke is right behind me. I clear the building and run up the stairs. I reach the window on one of the rooms and take out my pistol. I immediately see a guy named "EvilMomma99"

I shake my head. Who names themselves EvilMomma?!? These names just keep getting more ridiculous each time I play.

I aim at EvilMomma99's head and shoot him with my pistol. Instant kill. Sweet!

'Luke, cover the damn door!' I yell at him.

'Ok ok I'm on it' He says.

I'm about to switch to another window when I see another guy coming down the road leading to the building I was in.

His name was...oh you gotta be kidding me! His name is Blackhammer!

I look at Luke who bursts out laughing.

I swear I saw this guy in a movie at one point.

I shoot "Blackhammer" in the head and run out the building. I've been here too long and somebody is probably wanting to kill me now.

Me and Luke are walking down the side of a street. On the right is another building. I take cover behind a pillar and look for enemies inside the windows. Once I see its clear I move inside.

'Yo Luke, cover me man, I'm going in!' I said.

I run inside and get shot down by a guy with a shotgun. Damn it!

I look at Luke's side if the screen and see him doing circles. CIRCLES!!

'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?' I yell at Luke.

'What? I'm giving you a full 360 degrees of cover fire!' He says firing his machine gun.

I look at him with a raised eyebrow.

'I died you idiot! You are a horrible partner!' I said.

As I looked back at the screen, I am just in time to see a grenade land right next to Luke.

It blows up while he is reloading his weapon.

'You idiota! You can't play worth a damn!' I yelled.

I had the tv volume up so I was able to hear people talking.

BLACKHAMMER: 'Yo! Did you see me blow up that retard? Haha I swear that's the funniest kill I've had in the 3 years I've been playing Call Of Duty!'

EVILMOMMA99: 'Yo that shit was funny! He wasn't even aiming at us! I guess there are people in the sky! Haha what an idiot!'

I laugh as I hear these people laughing at Luke's master skills at dying.

I look over to see Luke fuming.

He grabs my headset and puts it on. Oh shit!

I go to grab it but it's too late.

'SHUT THE FUCK UP! THERE COULD HAVE BEEN PEOPLE FALLING FROM THE SKY! AND WHATS WITH CALLING YOURSELF "BLACKHAMMER? HA! AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A PLATINUM PLAYER! MY GRANDMOTHER CAN PLAY BETTER THAN YOU! AND SHES BLIND!' Luke screams into the microphone.

Damn it.

I grab the headset and rip it out from Luke's grip.

'No give it here Luke! Just because you can't...' I said

'I can play, it's just those idiots killed me!' He released the headset.

Just then I hear the door open and close.

Crap! Father is home!
