《Percy Jackson: Hunter of Artemis》Camper Encounter
Advertisement
I finally heard the girls enter the clearing after around half an hour.
"Finally! It took you guys forever to get here," I exclaim.
"If you had just dried me off, you wouldn't have had to wait," Phoebe said.
"That may be so, but if I had just dried you off, I wouldn't have had a good laugh," I retort.
Phoebe glared at me. I raised my hands in mock surrender and chuckled. Thalia laughed and set up her tent. Phoebe grumbled and set up her's as well as I set off to hunt for dinner. After a while, I had finally tracked down an elk and killed it. I hefted the animal onto my shoulders and trekked back to our little camp.
When I got back, there was already a fire started and Phoebe was sitting next to it, tending the coals and waiting for me to get back with dinner. I set the elk down next to her and began to field dress it. I handed Phoebe the chunks I had cut off for dinner and she started cooking them. I left her to her work and walked to Thalia's tent.
"Can I come in?" I asked once I was outside her tent.
"Sure," I heard her say before I stepped into her tent.
"Hey," I say.
"Hi."
"What's up? You seem a bit down," I ask.
She sighed. "It's nothing really," she said.
I looked at her skeptically.
"It's just that, what's going to happen on this quest? I'm worried about this choice that you have to make and I'm worried about the traitor and the item we seek. What is it? Who is the traitor? I don't get it!" She exclaimed.
"Hey. It'll be alright," I said sitting by her side. I wrapped my arms around her and began rubbing gentle circles on her back.

"Thanks Percy. You always seem to know how to cheer me up," she said.
"Anytime Thals. Anytime. Know if I'm correct, I believe Phoebe has dinner ready for us," I said just before Phoebe called for us to come to dinner.
"You read her mind, didn't you?"
"Yes I did," I said.
Thalia just laughed as we walked out of her tent and over to the fire.
We ate our dinners in a comfortable silence. Afterward, we began our conversation.
"So. Did you have fun today?" I ask.
"If you count chasing your little brother soaking wet fun, then I had a blast," Phoebe said.
"I had fun," Thalia said simply.
"Well I know I had fun!" I said.
"Of course you did," Phoebe said.
We laughed and conversed for a while until I felt something. Someone was here.
"Guys. There's something watching us," I whisper to the girls.
Their expressions went from playful and happy to completely serious. No one gets away with watching the Hunters of Artemis.
I got up and motioned for the girls to stay. I had my bow at ready and I stalked out into the woods. I felt whatever was watching us try to dart away from the camp. I quickly caught up to it and followed it, silent as a deer.
Suddenly, it tripped. I quickly raced forward and put my arrow on the side of the person's neck. The person stiffened.
"Get up," I ordered.
The person slowly got to their feet. Finally, I got a good look at his face. I realized, shocked, that it was Malcolm, son of Athena. I growled under my breath. He was spying on the girls and I.
Angry, I grabbed him by the ear and dragged him back to the camp. To my greatest annoyance, he kept muttering 'ow' over and over again.

When we finally reached the camp, I tossed him near the fire pit where the girls were still sitting. They gasped in recognition as they saw his face.
"Why are you here?" I demand.
"I-I have a c-cabin in th-this a-area," he stuttered. But I could tell he was lying.
"One thing you should know about me," I said, pulling one of my hunting knives out. "I hate liars."
Malcolm shrunk away from me.
"Now. Tell me the truth," I say in a deadly calm voice.
"Ch-Chiron has b-been sending out q-q-quests t-to f-find y-you," he stuttered.
"Tell him to stop. I don't want to be found," I say.
"But you've already been found," he pointed out.
"And you're going to regret finding me."
He audibly gulped.
"Um..... Brother? Maybe you shouldn't threaten people. Remember what happened last time?" The girls said simultaneously.
"How could I forget? I told him to give us information or we will be forced to capture him and he pulled out a knife and proceeded to attack me!" I said with a laugh. "But still. I will threaten the campers because they are the destroyers of my old life."
"What do you mean?" Malcolm asked.
"I mean that you all destroyed my old life. But I guess I should thank you. I now have a life far better than anything camp could've given me. I joined the Hunters of Artemis," I say.
"You joined a man hating group? And they didn't rip you apart?" He asked.
"Trust me. We almost did in the first couple of weeks. But then we got a liking to him. He's the only decent man on the planet. So he's our brother now," Phoebe said.
"I'll always trust the pretty ones," Malcolm said, winking suggestively.
"You do understand that you just flirted with a Hunter in the presence of our brother right? The last time a guy did that, Percy here gave that guy a couple broken bones a lot of bruises and a black eye. And that's when he was in a good mood. Right now, he is not in a good mood. The best thing you can do now, is hope to fall unconscious. Then you might not feel the pain," Thalia said all too cheerfully.
"Unluckily for him, I never let my victims fall unconscious. And if they do, I stop until they wake up then begin again," I say. "Now. We can do this the easy way, or we could do this the hard way. The easy way is that you just go straight back to camp and deliver my message. The hard way is, you refuse to leave peacefully, and I end up beating you to a pulp. What's your choice?" I ask.
"I choose the easy way," he said hurriedly.
"Tell Chiron not to send any more quests to find me and that the next camper that finds me will end up either dead or pretty close to death," I say.
Malcolm paled before nodding and running off as quick as he could away from our camp.
"He does know camp is that way right?" Thalia asked, pointing to the opposite direction Malcolm went.
"He'll figure it out sooner or later," I say returning to my place by the fire as we continue laughing and enjoying one another's company before retiring to our tents for the night.

8 225Restart (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 2)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is book 2 of the series! If you haven't read book 1 (which you can find here https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/34776/new-game-reborn-as-a-reluctant-demon-lord-book) then you should probably do that first to avoid spoiling yourself in the synopsis. But that's just a suggestion. If you want to be confused, go ahead. Have I used enough space so that you can't see this in the preview yet? Okay, good. ----- For a [Demon Lord], not even death is the end. So, after death, I found myself revived once again in the world of Placeholder as a grotesque monstrosity. That was my first reincarnation, but it would not be anywhere near my last. Disillusioned with the admins and their quests, and wanting nothing more than to fix the mistakes of my past, I set out with a new goal in mind. To bring back the woman I loved. Or maybe... to ensure that she never died in the first place.

8 496The Origins Of The Races [Español!]
Primero quiero decir que como veras esta historia esta en español ya que mi ingles es muy malo para hacer una novela. Segundo puse todas las advertencias para más libertad de expresión. En un mundo tan grande, los orígenes de las cosas pueden ser muy interesantes desde la casualidad, por Dios o por simples mortales. Al haber muchas razas cada uno tiene sus Orígenes ya sea el más débil o el más fuerte cada uno tiene su razón de estar hasta el que dicen que si se extingue mañana no pasaría nada. porque las razas no son solo un grupo de seres ellos representan una emoción o más y aunque otros pueden sentirlos no viven por ello. Vamos a ver desde el punto de vista de muchos personajes históricos de este cosmos como se origino muchas razas, hechos de culturas, tecnología, frases, facciones y demás. ¿Te atreves a leer estos mitos? Soportaras el intento inútil de Finnegan, verás como Stacy tiene una mala infancia, verás como Yare hace todo lo posible por amor aunque el sea un Yandere. Si te atreves a leerlo porque esto es solo el comienzo. Quiero decir que si quieres saber bien de qué se trata la historia con leer el prologo no basta ya que solo lo hice para dar un trasfondo a la historia y no se puede tomar muy en cuenta de cómo es la historia, si quieres saber bien cómo es lee el primer capítulo y el primer pensamiento del autor que está después del primer capítulo. La portada tiene de base una foto de Fotos de Stock por Vecteezy y editada por mi. Horario: lunes,miércoles,viernes y domingo por ahora la hora especifica está en cambios.
8 120Spike Hellsing Autobiography: The Chosen
The path to becoming a God is not a simple one, and if you're stranded in a universe with no connection to the Multi-Verse, your options are limited.Spike Hellsing, Half-Elf, Vampire, Samurai, Mercenary; Chosen by the Demi-God: Fate, to assist in her ascension and restore balance to the universe she created, known as "Infinity". Spike's first task is to join forces with the rest of The Chosen against the destructive entity: Chaos, but Spike and The Chosen are far from "ready to fight demi-god" status.The recollections of a pen and paper roleplaying game from the viewpoint of a single character within it's universe. Everything that takes place in the book was decided by dice and random numbers so that means all the epic shit that takes place had a realistic chance to blow up in my/our face(s), making this entire book that much more awesome. With that said Spike is known to indulge himself, and may have left out embarrassing moments or "bent the truth" to make himself seem more cool, but hey, that's role playing for you, deal with it and enjoy!
