Chereads / In Percy Jackson as Lancer / Chapter 4 - Liverpool

Chapter 4 - Liverpool

The arrival wasn't as I had expected, it's been very quiet on my journey so far except meeting who I think is this version of Scáthach but what she called me is concerning. Could I have been fused with this realities Cuchulain and carry his spirit as well as the fate version skill set.

While I was thinking in that conversation I came upon a young child running through the streets, when looking closer out of curiosity I can see they are being chased by something. Running towards them I easily catch up and start to materialize my runecraft outfit and spear as I sense the malevolent energy wafting off the creature.

"Hey, arsehole!" I yell " Why not come at someone your own level, rather than target children!". With that, I engage the beast, now closer I am able to properly see what was chasing them. Standing around 9ft tall and covered with dark, mattered fur covered in filth. As I begin to fight what I can only assume is a werewolf, I set up a barrier behind me to shield the kid.

With a howl, it charges me, running right at me with it's claws out preparing to tear me apart. Quickly, I counter the beast with my spear, guiding my weapon and slicing the beast leaving a wound on its arms.

"ARRGH, HOW DARE YOU!" the beast screamed " YOU INTERRUPTED MY MEAL, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SINCE A DEMIGOD HAS BEEN SPOTTED SINCE THE GODS ABANDONED THIS FORSAKEN COUNTRY".

As The beast was ranting, I jump towards it with Gae Bolg rearing to pierce and just like that it couldn't react fast enough as my spear entered it's chest.

As it dissolved, I turned to face the child. Now that I am up close I can tell the child is quiet young around 4-5 years old, judging by the clothes she is a girl. As I approach, she is curled up into herself crying. I get on my knee as my clothes re-materialize into dark UE jeans and a white shirt, with that I place a hand on her shoulder and try to calm her down.

She reacted to my touch by grasping on to me as if I would disappear and then started crying in to my shoulder. I attempted to comfort her but honestly I was at a loss on what to do.

"Hey there, can you tell me your name?" I asked her.

"M-m-melody" she whimpered.

" Do you have anyplace to go Melody? It is quite dangerous to be outside alone." As I finished saying that, she burst into tears and I could make out her saying the Monsters took them away.

RAGE

All I could feel at hearing that was anger, As I realised that for the past 6 months I hadn't yet seen this reality as sure going through places and killing random monsters is fun and all but these situations just reinforce my goal of saving as many young demigods as I can. From what that werewolf said demigods aren't really around this country with the gods being in America at the moment so I will stick with my plan to fly to Manhattan first but now I will see if I can take Melody there.

No matter the cost.
