《When Machines Break》CHAPTER 4 - A dream?

LEO'S POV
I screamed and woke in a cold sweat. I breathed a sigh of relief. It was all just a dream. Frank hadn't really stormed in here and threatened me...had he? I felt my head, nope, no bruises from when I banged it. Hmm.
Just then there were some knocks at my door. "Leo?" Jason called hesitantly from outside. He slowly opened the door and came in. His eyes widened when he saw me.
"L-Leo! You're awake!" He shouted gleefully.
"Awake?" I asked, extremely confused, "What do you mean awake? I've only been asleep for one day, Geez Superman!"
"ONE NIGHT!" Jason exclaimed, "Ha! More like a week!" He said loudly throwing his arms around.
"Wait-what? A week?" I squeaked, very shocked.
"Yes!" Jason sounded exasperated.
Then he started jumping up and down like a hyperactive 5 year old on a sugar rush. "GUYS, GUYS! COME QUICK! LEO'S AWAKE!" he yelled, calling into the hallways.
There was a series of loud thudding sounds like stampeding elephants as Piper, Frank, Annabeth, Hazel and Percy came rushing in.
"Leo!" They exclaimed happily. Suddenly Frank came rushing forward, shaking like mad. Then he rushed up to me and gave me a massive bear hug. Literally, he turned into a bear midst the hug.
"Leo! I'm so so so sorry!!! Plea-Please forgive me! It wasn't my fault! I-It was one of the eidolons!! It had possessed the Hydra we were fighting and when it bit me it possessed me! Please forgive me!" Then he broke down into a sobbing blubbering mess.
I blinked at him with confusion. I then knelt down and gave him a hug. "I-It's okay, it was not your fault" I told him reassuringly. I know it's weird to suddenly forgive him like this, but I know what it's like to be possessed by an eidolon, and I don't want Frank, or any demigods, to go through it, it makes your soul feel icy, you have nothing but death thoughts and evil intentions, then when your are released from the possession, everyone blames you for things you haven't done.

I saw a look of relief wash through his features and he wrapped me in another hug, this time everyone else joined as well. We stayed like that for a bit. As a whole, as friends but mostly, as a family.
That's the end of Chapter 4! Chapter 5 may be out tomorrow or Thursday!

Feed The Hunger
Humans have long been oppressed by the many other races, and it is only through the ability to awaken powers that they were able to resist. Led by Emperor Morningstar, humans finally banded together and formed a lasting empire, the final bastion for the human race. But that was 190 years ago. Now, the other races are stirring and rifts have opened, bringing otherworldly creatures into play. These are the times that Kyrios Brand lives in. Powerless and Orphaned, he was forced to eke out a bare-bones living for most of his life. Every day is a course on why power is required to survive in this world. Eventually, unable to bear his desire to grow stronger, he asks someone he considers family for a chance. This is the story of what he makes of it and the penchant for flesh that he develops on the way. (A relatively slow paced story that is written from Kyrios's POV. The release rate is once a week) Artwork credits to Jortegloria from DeviantArt.

The Ratter
By gnawing through a dike, even a rat may drown a nation.-Edmund Burke There are three kinds of monsters that every rookie adventurer can be expected to face. The first is the goblin, the small green humanoids that often cause problems out on the frontier. The second is the slime, the sneaky ambush predator that likes to drop down from the ceiling and seems to be just about everywhere. And then, there's the giant rat, the plague of the sewer and the tavern cellar. But they're nothing but a petty annoyance, right? Right? Wrong. Giant rats multiply like wildfire and mature very quickly. Unlike rats, they can very quickly exceed their available food supply and start hunting for human flesh the moment that nothing else is available. A hungry swarm, unchecked, can eat a city alive. But not if The Ratter has anything to say about it.
