Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: some guy talk

Another week passed with me training my tribe in mounted combat in the morning forging in the afternoon and in the night I trained with Athena who didn't hesitate to beat the hell out of me hell she fought harder when she seen my bodies regeneration I hadn't sleeped for days but I had no need to do to my ability sleep is for the weak this allowed me to focus on smithing more which was good not only was I able to make saddles for everyone raptors and there armor but ones I got done with crafting all the armor that was practically the end of are metal but I wasn't worried sense both Gimli and Stream sent 2 of there man back to each kingdom naturally I sent 2 of my tribes man for both the dwarfs and elves this would not only make traveling faster but show that what the 2 groups had to say was truthful these people came back last night with a location for all parties to meet and discuss this location was at a dukedom that was at the edge of my tribes territory this dukedom was a neutral spot for all three races sense it had all races living in it not just that this place was at the edge of all of our lands so it was a perfect neutral zone to meet and discuss business Gimli and Stream said it would take their families at least one to two days to arrive at this dukedom but that's if no problems come up but it would take my tribe only a few hours if we go at the raptors top speed I would say no later then 5 hours but this is if we run into problems like the demons or we find something to eat I wasn't worried about the travel my people was strong enough to face anything that comes up especially sense Shosa evolved yesterday it was a damn good thing he chose the biggest raptor cuz the man was a full two heads taller then me plus he had bulked out even more I had to modify his equipment to fit him actually that's what I was working on right now I just got done with his Helberd that I had to lengthen do to his extra hight but I also modified it slightly so it could fly are flag I side putting it to the side next to all of his gear Gimli was snoring in the corner next to my sleeping area I walked to my makeshift work table that had my equipment on it I sat down on a box and picked up one of my curved swords and looked to a smooth wet stone that was already wet I started sharping my blade with slow purposeful moments shink, shink, shink this noise filled the air but Gimli slept on like a baby after a few minutes of sharping this blade I flicked the blade around and examined the blade before nodding I then ran it a few times on a strip of leather I sheathed it and placed it down before I want to the next blade and soon the noise started again but after one minute is when a owl landed on the table its gray eyes looking at me but I did nothing but sharpen my weapon hell I didn't even look up after another minute of sharpening I heard Athena sy before saying not to rush you child but my condition is getting worse not just that the longer I am away from my dukedom the more danger its in I stopped sharpening and flicked the blade around I examined the edge as I said Master I am going as fast as I can but you know how delicate of a situation I am in one wrong move and I risk this hole forest coming down on my tribe if I rush things run the chance on missing things I truly wish I could do more but I must be passionate you should do the same I then nodded and ran my blade on the leather strap before sheathing it I then picked up my bident and the sharpening stone and got to work on it Athena looked at me coldly but she didn't have a comeback to my words sense they was right she clicked her beak angrily did you just tell a goddess to be passionate when she is slowly loosing the ability to see and they call me cold and brutal I stopped sharpening and lowered my stone as I turned to her coldly master if you truly want me to heal you then you would have offered the materials to make the tools to heal you I am grateful for your training and wisdom but I ant someone who stays silent when I am insulted especially when I have been nothing but kind to that person ones more I seen what your words did to one of your daughters who is a friend of mine so if I am cold-hearted and brutal what does that make you she glared at me responding boy do not talk about matters you know anything about I put down my sharpening stone and commonly looked at her responding back one of your daughters married a man you did not approve of and you wanted her to leave that man but she refuses your orders and stayed with the man this angered you and your tried killing the man or at least destroy his mind you laid out a trap for him but sadly your plans didn't work it was your daughter who was cot in the trap first but that man protected your daughter shielding her with his body and power you almost killed the man like you wanted almost but you underestimated the power of your daughter she used her powers to protect his soul and mind which in the end saved the man life tell me master and I leaned forward my eyes flickering with purple fire but my face was still neutral what do I not understand she was speechless hearing my words her eyes was wide from shock and she stayed like this for a few seconds but she shook her head sying Azmo you know the story but do you know y I wanted to get my daughter Evelyn away from that man Slade if you did you wouldn't be defending him so strongly I am talking about where that manpower comes and who his connected to him I laughed Athena was shocked seeing me laugh she coldly stared at me asking what's to funny brat I chuckled grinning down at her respond I don't just know where his power come from but I also know both where and what it is who do you think not only trained Slade but strangled there bond Athena eyes went wide but I chuckled nodding yep it was me when I first met Slade he was nothing but a scared pup who was both forbidden to us his power by his father and to scared to us it but I seen a spirit of a great warrior in him so I trained him how not to be scared of his power but to embrace it I trained him not to fear anything especially if its something about him self I still remember the day he started on the path to become a warrior we was in the center of a undead army I was leading the charge my wife and him behind me the deeper we got into that army the more I realised he wasn't using his power hell he wasn't fighting back really till he got ripped off his horse and a undead got on top of him I of course saved his life I killed all the undead around us and ask him y he wasnt using his power but simply shook his head saying I can't, I can't I simply poked him in the chest where a necklace Evelyn gave to him before he want off to war I told him if he wanted to see her again he had to fight he had to kill and us his power I then picked up his rifle held it out to him saying fight to see her again fight to survive the moment he grabbed that rifle is when he changed and I got a close up look at the being he was bond to sense that battle I had seen Slade grow not only as a half blood but as a man fuck I remember the day he told his father to fuck of basically I was proud to call him brother and still am that man and I have looked down armys together and he might be the demon spirit of rath inside him but it dont matter Slade is a good man and my brother y do you think I helped him go through the ritual to cleanse the demon spirit he is know the angel spirit of rath both spirits are one side of the same coin that's y his fire is blue Athena eyes was wide hearing my words but she nodded see then you should understand y I didn't want my daughter a child of already a death body to be around that evil being she can't fall to the dark side I chuckled shaking my head that will never happen Master as long as Evelyn has Slade she will never fall ones more as long as Slade has Evelyn the spirit can't take control I have seen both of them go above and beyond for one another ones more they compliment one another but the fact you can't see that is sad with that I picked up my wet stone and started sharpening my blade finishing with this we all have emotions master this is how we was born even the gods and titans ant the exception to this what you do with them emotions makes the difference will you be greedy, horny and quick to anger like the great god Zeus or will your emotions change like the sea like Poseidon or will you be cold calculating and mind your own business like my father Hades what you do when the time comes makes all the difference Athena didn't respond to my words I could tell she was deep in thought so I didn't disturb her I simply sharpened my bident then checked on all my armor which had grown it wasnt just helmet and chest plate anymore there was greeves and even arm bracers that was made from a mix of tungsten steel and bones from that crimson wolf what was a dark red color wall my Greek style helmet had a added thing which was the skull of a snake when I wear this helmet the skull would cover half of my face just not my mouth plus it didn't limit my vision sense my face was similar shake with the skull it busted added a unique fear factor it was great and looked metal as fuck I wanted a metal style circle shield like Athenes aegis shield but sadly didn't have enough steal so I want with a basic Norse circle shield that had two runes mixed together it was the runes of the first letter in both my parents names around the edge of the shield was basic battle runes like for luck and good fortune but also blessings for the dead I had passed the book about my parents and the information they would need to know but I added a few other gods info in there to for example Athena, Artemis, Aries, Loki, Thor and even Anubis and Anput these was all gods that I had talked to and met perennially and that I had formed a connection with and I didn't care who they truly worshiped it was there choice after all and it wasn't my right to force them to worship my parents I put down my bident and picked up my helmet and placed it in front of me I picked up my pin and channeled my power into it the gold tip started to glow red from heat with that I started drawing war runes onto it in the center of its head I drew a owl skull this symbolized not only a child of death but my connection with Athena after I was done I side it was about time I looked down to my pin chuckling this is going to hurt with that my shadow demon appeared I handed it the pin and we started drawing war tattoos on my face this was like war paint but way more permanent well it could be healed easily enough but these tattoos was a honor I had already given Shosa his he wanted the area around his eyes to be dark red with two sharp red lines going down from his eyes that ended at a point not just that on the side of his head he wanted me to put 5 check marks this was how many victory's we had won the first was are first hunt together the second was when we kill our first Dunkleosteus the third was the fight at night where I killed a owl and him and Mesh killed those huge bats the fourth was the fight we had with our tribesman and the fifth was our just last battle with the demons and the last thing he wanted me to do was put the rune of thor in the center of his head which was a gold hammer with a blue lightning bolt striking Mesh also got some but hers was pretty simply darken around the eyes and mouth and wanted the goddess Hel rune on her hood which was a white and black skull wall on her other hood she wanted the rune of Athena aka a silver owl these was the only two that I did personally I have Shosa and Mesh the ability to do the same on those in there ranks that they think earned it naturally I had to make two pins for them also but unlike mine there's was straight iron but the sun slowly came up and people was starting to steer Gimli slowly sat up cracking his back before walking outside to probably to go water some grass after a few minutes he came back in holding two steaming plates of food in his hand your Azmo I got you breakfast so what the fuck and he jumped back from me I seen shock and fear in his eyes as he looked towards me the two plates hitting the ground with a clattering noise but oddly enough no food came off them I looked to him waving my hand the two plates shooting to the table saying good thank you lets eat so we can hit the trail Gimli didn't move at first but ones he processed my words he shook his head and ran up to me and grabbed the sides of my shoulders saying the fuck happened to your face I hissed chuckling o this its nothing he shook his head and pulled out a meer from his side patch and showed it to me yelling this isn't nothing look at your damn self I side chuckling and looked at my self in the meer two bright purple slits for eyes fark  red scales and black, gold and white patterns in my hood plus two spikes at the bottom of my chin that sort of moved when I stroked my chin but around my eyes was two black chakrams with 5 black and gold sharp curved blades sticking out them plus around my noise and jaw was a black outline of my bones wall on my left hood mixed into the natural patterns was the rune of thor and on my right hood was the rune of Loki which was a green horned serpent wall on the left side of my head was a white and black skull wall on my right side was a three headed black dog or was it a wolf hard to tell my new tattoos definitely made me look a bit more terrifying and intense but I didn't mind hell I winked at my reflection saying o whats this what you doing here good looking Gimli side slamming a hand to his hand as he put away the meer saying you shameless bastard I chuckled responding who is really the shameless the ma. who just completed him self or the man that just carries a 12 by 12 inch meer in his magic bag huh so who is the real shameless one Gimli gritted his teeth and sat down and started to eat angrily I chuckled yea that's what I thought you probably practice flexing in that thing to win over Stream Gimli glared at me angrily gralling I do not but I could see a bit of red started to appear on his face I chuckled as I took a bite of a meat stick responding yea right come on Gimli this is me your talking to it doesn't take a smart person you fancy her and its not hard to see she fancies you also hell even a blind person could tell so y dont you two date Gimli side and stopped eating and pushed his plate away from him before he looked to me seriously cuz Hunter our parents won't ever allow it ones more our people wont went any other race but there own to take the throne Stream is a beautiful and magnificent woman ones more she is powerful she has suitors lined up for her that are ten times as better as me as failed smith and he side and put his head on the table I took a drink of water before I poorer s but if it in his head he shot up yelling what the fuck Hunter I tell you my problems and you do but I glared at him my eyes glowing with a intense fire this shut him up I nodded saying in a cold voice said good first of all Gimli stop down grating your self any woman would be lucky to have you as there partner a failed smith what a fucking joke and I scoffed you almost built a weapon that you had no idea about when you started and yet you almost got a working prototype on your first bloody try if that isn't skill I don't know what is second fuck what your races think or want if they dont like it change there options and lastly who gives a damn if Stream has suitors none of them are you your a bloody child of thor odinson god of thunder do you like her I asked Gimli quickly nodded yes I do I nodded and finished my drink responding good then fight for her and take ones yours and when someone tries to stop you crush them under your boot show them the power of thor and I crushed the cup in my hand it exploded into small weed sharks I looked to Gimli a intense fire burning in my eyes as white and black lightning sparked down my arms he stared at the cup shards nothing happened at first till he raised his hand his hammer shooting from the bottom left corner, right into his hand the moment his hand grabbed the hammer a load boom shook the air as thunderstruck he then brought down his hammer onto the table luckily I had moved all my blueprints and stuff off it cuz boom the moment his hammer struck the table it shattered into pieces I simply crossed my feet and leaned my head on my hand as I pulled off a piece of meat that was on a think spike in my hands as I looked at Gimli who was breathing hard his arms still tightly clutching his hammer he stayed like this for a moment but he then broke out into thunderous laughter as he swung his hammer onto his shoulder how glorious I have been such a fool no we have been such a fool and it only took you and he looked to me grinning to show up to remind me who I am hahaha thank you Hunter your right I haven't been acting like thor's son I have been so swept up into this new life that I about forgot who I am half blood I thank you I chuckled taking the last piece of meat off the spike before dropping it into the table scraps before grinning at him saying don't mention it mate but was smashing the table necessary he laughed necessary probably not but was it worth it definitely I side shaking my head saying you owe me a new work table he nodded chuckling thats far enough mate I nodded and turned and started walking towards my armor stand but I stopped when I got in front of it and looked back to him saying one last thing Gimli remember you maybe Thor son but this doesn't mean you can act all high and mighty remember your siblings fatal flaw is arrogance, and pride do not let your arrogance and pride cloud your mind humility is a virtue remember that with that I turned back to my armor and started dawning it as I did I heard Gimli walk out hurriedly probably to talk with Streak I chuckled as I pulled on my arm bracers I moved my fingers making sure my fingerless gloves was right I then sheathed my swords onto my back and slung my bident over my shoulder before I picked up my helmet and a bundle that had a saddle and armor wrapped in it I walked out of my house to see Shosa and Mesh giving out orders to there man who was running around making sure all there equipment was ready there raptors was saddled well and that both there and there beasts armor was fitted right plus they made sure they had all there supplies they would need Shosa seen me yelling commander on deck everyone stop what they was doing slamming there feet together and looked towards me I chuckled nodding at them all saying carry on and they did I walked up to Artemis who was playing with Daisy who was fully healed wall Duke and Athena watched them on the sidelines Duke was laying on the ground wall Athena was laying on top her back but when they all seen me both Artemis and Daisy ran up to me and started licking my face I laughed placing the saddle on the ground and my helmet on top of it before petting them both Duke stood up stretching very cat like before walking up to me and rubbed against me lovingly I chuckled patting her also I looked at Athena nodding before I picked up my helmet and put it on one of Daisy heads over the helmet they was already wearing saying hold this boy wolf, wolf I chuckled before throwing the saddle onto Artemis and started tightening all the straps by the time I was done Artemis was decked out in plate armor I jumped onto her back before taking my helmet from Daisy I placed it in front of me like this I kicked the sides of Artemis she slowly walked forward Duke and Daisy following behind us Artemis stopped in the center of everyone who was ready Shosa on his raptor walked next to me in his hand was his halberd handing from it was our flag flapping in the wing everyone was fully dawn in there armor and weapons Shosa wasn't the exception he nodded to stopping next to me saying we are ready sir waiting for your orders I nodded smiling at him I picked up my helmet and put it on I did the strap to hold it on my head before I looked over everyone with my Purple eyes Gimli and Streams people was paired with someone from my tribe so they could ride together a huge grin formed on my face yelling Demonic legion mount up we are moving out yes sir!! They all yelled and got onto there raptors almost in sink I waited till Gimli and Streams people was on a raptor I nodded Artemis turning around I held up my hand yelling move out and I swung my arm down Artemis bolting forward Shosa slightly behind my on my right and soon Mesh moved to my left our tribe behind us with all these raptors running at the same time definitely shook the ground and you could hear a slight rumbling noise I smiled my hands clinching on the reins my eyes glowed with a excited fire wondering what was ahead of us.
