Lorien Legacies New Dreams

"Hello, Lady Hestia," Damien said as he bowed. She looked slightly surprised. Her face contorted a bit and she had a show of pain on her face. He put his arm out in worry.

"No I am fine but in this land please call me Vesta," She said. He realized his mistake and quickly bowed again. she patted on the seat next to her ushering him to sit down.

"I am very sorry I didn't mean to cause you any discomfort," I told her." So what brings the hearth to this lonely beach, "Damien asks her.

" I should ask you the same thing don't you think you were a little rough with that mortal?," She asks.

"I don't think so, his actions would have led to many people being hurt. It's like your hearth you can invite those you trust to feel the heat from the fire but if you choose the wrong person to come into your hearth as you stoop to stoke the flames there may be a knife to your back" Damien tells her. She Smiles Brightly at that comment.

"As for your question I came on a favor to a Certain Goddess, You know there was a bet going around whether you would be able to identify me," She tells him. She said eyeing him up and down.

"That's a little worrying to hear did you win?" Damien asks her. She Shakes her head.

"Almost no one recognizes me immediately, I was so sure that you wouldn't, Though I am not very angry at my loss, The bet was placed for your benefit, and once we are finished talking I will give you your rewards. There are a few things I must tell you young one." Hestia says.

'Gifts from a goddess would be nice maybe can ask who my mom is.' Damien thinks.

" You will only Find your lineage when You go to Camp Jupiter there is a prophecy you are meant to receive. The gods are not Overjoyed by your existence but the fates have decreed that you must be tolerated. Though if you directly confront a god or goddess your fate will be sealed." she says responding to his unspoken thought. I'm happy about not being disturbed by the gods is what he needs if he's going to be a part of all three worlds. Though he's not really looking forward to going to Camp Jupiter their militaristic out view based on the original story might lead him to the wrong end of blade.

He start to nod that he understood He Couldn't think of a question that she would answer with a straight answer without being all vague. A calm silence falls over them as they stare into the flames. The way she looked at him was nice the way that uncle Simon looked at him or the way he looked at Ella it was a look full of care compassion, a touch of curiosity, and curious enough pride.

"Is there something else my lady?" He asks.

"No, I'm just a bit curious how did you know it was me?" she asks. He thought about that for a moment sure He had past life knowledge but he had known instantly from a glance. He didn't want to lie to the goddess but he didn't exactly want to tell the truth. Then when he looked up at her he noticed how weird the flames were acting it almost seemed as if she was radiating warmth to the fire, not the fire radiating warmth.

"I don't know it was like the warmth of the hearth called out to me," Damien told her honestly. She smiled.

"I was going to give you only one gift and a bit of advice because of the bet but I've come to like you, your intelligence is as of a child of Athena and you have an edge of coldness like a child of hades but your heart is full of fire warmer than any hearth. I will give you eyes to see the warmth and the ability to take the heat of the hearth from those who do not deserve it." Her voice became distorted like three people speaking at once as she says the final sentence.

Damien felt an intense heat coming from his eyes for a moment. He pulled his head back up after a moment of discomfort. He pulled out his phone that lexa had made with his instruction a mixture of tech he had seen from the media of his old life and the loric tech of his new one. He looked at his reflection on the black screen his eyes they were glowing a red hue. It reminded him of the kurta clan from Hunter x hunter. He blinked and they turned back to the light grey color they usually were.

"Thank you, my lady," He tells her. She smiles just as widely as she had earlier and then hands him a watch. The watch is beautiful all black. He places it into his palm too study it closely raising it to his eye. The color was beautiful black but Little lights like stars in the nights sky.

"Its name is Lamina Magia Noctibus," She says.

"The blade of Magic Nights" Damien repeats back with a whisper the watch snakes its way onto his whisper as if responding to his voice. As it clicks into place he sees a notch on the side of it next to where to the dial you would usually use to set the time of a watch he presses it and It transform's into a slightly curved Kopis blade the handle a masterpiece of a snake's head.

"The blade was made of stygian iron and wolfram steel it will damage both mortals and Immortals. It was created by Lord Hephaestus and Enchanted by Lady Hecate Because of this blade, a law was formed that no blade would be made from a metal of man and immortal Because in the process of merging the metals a soul must be used it sat waiting a thousand years attached to a prophecy never to find its owner. The day you were born according to Hephaestus the rust that had accumulated just vanished and the stars on the blade shone more brightly then the day the blade was forged." She told him as He studied the blade. The dark past gave him pause for a second was it a cursed blade like backbiter( Lukes sword from Percy Jackson) for a moment He thought how does it turn back into a watch. The blade turned back into a watch.

"Is it sentient," Damien asked. She Smiled a little shocked that he'd found out so quickly.

"I swear I'll never bet against you again, she swore," she said playfully under her breath. "It's semi-sentient it's bonded to you as you are the first to ever wear it."

He smiled at her a little cocky that she had lost the bet, She Smiled at his Shamelessness.

"I think it's about time I go," she says. He started to complain truly liking her company plus to him it had only felt like minutes but truly hours had passed staring into the hearth. "But before I do I have some advice, You should head to Camp Jupiter tonight to receive a prophecy and make sure to use the embers of the hearth for the meat."

Then she disappeared in a very flashy exit the flames from the bonfire engulfing her. Immediately the fire died down from a raging inferno to just a small campfire. Damien wondered what she meant? what Meat?

He took out my phone there were a dozen missed calls many urgent text messages he texted back to tell his Uncle Simon not to worry he'd be back tomorrow and that it was important. He knew Simon would still worry but he knew Simon would trust him enough to not come chasing after him, As a bunch of pings in response trying to persuade me to return piped up from the phone Damien sent one final " going radio silent" text and turned off his phone and then took the battery out.

As he did that He Heard a deafening roar from under the pier he turned away from the hearth to see. The biggest monster he had ever seen it was about the size of the dragon from harry potter's goblet of fire but it only had only four appendages 2 for the wings 2 for the claws that it balance most of its weight on but what was even freakier was its tail, A massive serpent as if sewed into the already humongous monster. The body of the snack used at a support for the massive creature.

He knew this monster from Greek mythology amphisbaena now what Vestia had said about cooking something made sense because of the myth with this particular monster.

He thought about turning to run from it but that thought was quickly extinguished he wouldn't be fast enough the huge creature was staring directly at him bloodlust evident water seeping from it's jaw as it looked at Damien in hunger, teeth as big as skateboards and as sharp as jagged like rocks you'd see at the bottom of a cliff. He knew I'd never make it this thing had wings and if it a beast this size could almost catch a fourth year harry potter on a broom it can definitely get a six year old Damien on land.

He thought about his sword, his watch transforming again into his bespectacled blade, He closed his eyes when he opened them again he could feel the burn he had felt when Hestia had given him her gift. HIs eyes fixing on the monster with a tint of red on his sight.

'If all this new ability does is turn my eyes red I'm going to be in big trouble,' Damien thinks to himself.' So it seems the only weapon I have in my arsenal is the sword and martial arts. Maybe if I get up to the pier and lure it under, I get close enough to use the sword. I doubt it can move that fast on land though that tail might help it move. Maybe I can somehow use its own weight against him. Either way, If I want a chance I have to make sure it can't fly,'

A plan starts forming. He started running towards it fight or flight has kicked in and there is no chance of Flight the sword is outstretched backward He runs like Kakashi with a Chidori in his hand's blade pointed towards the ground. The monster heads looks at each other in question with a look like 'Is this kid serious'. It takes a swipe at him with its wing he slides under and slash at the edge of the wing.

Then the serpent head positions itself for him to slide into him mouth from underneath the wing. Damien twists the sword into the sand to stop his momentum from entering the serpents mouth the snake jaw chomping closed narrowly missing his feet, at the same time the other wing folds out to grip him tries to grip him, the snake head goes in for another bite Damien jumps away trying to get out of the range for both attacks but only misses the wing.

The serpent takes a bite out of his shoulder, It swings him back to the ground hard he almost loses his grip on his blade. Luckily the serpent on got one fang into his shoulder it tries to readjust its bite to get a more solid piece of Damien but he throws the sword into his opposing arm and brings the blade up into its brain, he starts twisting until he cuts through and frees himself from it's jaw, Part of its head and its fang still embedded onto his shoulder. He moves away backing under the pier putting some distance between him and the monster. The dragon part still alive roars in agony, anger and frustration. It's hate filled gaze finds damien's.

The dragon part moves much slower than it was when it originally arrived its flight ability crippled, since he'd sliced the wing and the snakes body which helped its movement on land flapping uselessly in death throws behind it actingas an anchor weighing it down even if it's wing was capable of flight, but it still has its two front claws and remaining wing using them it pulls itself in damien's direction quicker then He guess it can survive without its other head.

His movement is equally impaired he can feel head swimming from the poison from the serpents bite but he climbs up the pole of the pier every fiber of his being burning and aching in agony. he reaches just high enough as the dragon pulls its way to the pier Hitting the pole trying to knock him down. THat was when Damien let go of the pole just about ten feet higher than the dragon's head it reaches up to grab it in its jaws but now quick enough he angles himself to land right on its back his sword coming down right between its wings Stabbing deep into its body.

Damien starts rocking his body driving the blade in and out with his body weight it makes a few last swipes to try to get Damien off his back but it slowly collapses. The body starts falling in on itself turning to ash, Damien finds himself sprawled in the sand looking down at himself with distorted vision He would say from the waist down He was still pretty good but that bite was gushing a lot of blood He tore off his jacket and wrapped it around his arm.

"This suit was expensive you scaley bitch," Damien says to himself and starts kicking the pile of ash to get a little frustration out. He sees that a pile of stuff sitting on top of the ash.

'the spoils go the victor,' he thought. Hestia's words ringing in his ear He walks over it is a pile of Tupperware containers filled with slices of meats. he grabs the top one and makes his way over to the fire remembering The legend of the Amphisbaena comes to his mind. He grabbed a grate from a stick and places it over the fire to cook.

He sat a little angry that Hestia didn't tell him about the monster was on its way but He understood she was probably restricted. The meat soon cooked and he let it cool off a bit before taking a bite. Instantly his wounds started to heal. He knew that the amphisbaena was used as a powerful medicine but He didn't know it would be this quick. It reminded him of how the books described ambrosia and nectar. Though there was no heavenly taste.

That lasts about 30 seconds to heal he feels joy he thought he was a dead when he realized he was poisoned but then a icy burning feeling started all over his skin a sream escaped his lips as he crashed to the ground but as soon as he feel the pain retreated. 

Another myth Popped in his head about how slaying and eating an Amphisbaena under the moon would give them power and the ability to attract the opposite sex. He pushed that thought out of his head there was no way he would qualify for that myth because it was specified that only the pure of heart even if the moon was gleaming above him in the night sky. He walked back over to the meat he grabbed a few containers, he walked back over to the fire.

"Thank you for helping me Vestia as much as you could," He says turning over one of the containers and letting the meat fall into the fire as an offering to her.

"Thank you for this blade that saw me through my first battle, Trivia and Vulcan," Damien says turning over two more containers into the fire.

"Thank you mom for sending Vestia, whoever you are" Damien Sending the final container into the fire. Flames licked up at each offering a fragrance so indescribable came from the fire at every name but he could describe how they made him feel for Vestia it felt like the warmth of family, love and hope, for Trivia it felt like the joy of seeing something new and unexplained, for Vulcan it felt like the happiness you felt when you create something, And the last it was the hardest to describe he could feel the subtle breeze drifting over his skin as the joy, love, warmth, excitement, pride, hope like what Hestia had given him but so much more intense he felt the very love that his mother felt for him, in ways that could never be forgotten searing its way into his soul. It took a few minutes to recover but after a while he stood wiping the tears that had been streaming down his face.

He walked over to the rest of the spoils there was 2 to 3 dozen more containers of the meat, He took off his jacket wrapped the sleeves to use it a makeshift bag. though he would have to be careful since. Underneath the containers he found a coat that seems to made The Draconic skin of the amphisbaena as he dusted it off in front of him the skin shifted its texture turning into a long black leather trench coat. It makes him laugh. It looks identical to the one nick fury wears.

Some higher being must be making fun of him for starting S.H.E.I.L.D. in his new life. It doesn't look bad as he puts it on thinking it was going to be too big but it automatically readjusts to Damien's size. He knows that in the myths if you wore the skin of an amphisbaena is would increase the speed of your healing and ward off illness and poison. It's not Neiman lion skin but it would over durability it was an amazing artifact.

He took out his phone he had managed not to break it during the fight. He placed the battery inside and turned it on he called a local cab service to meet him at the pier and take him to the Caldecott tunnel. He said he'd be an hour so Damien took another slice of the meat and moved the embers of the dying fire to stoke a bit more flame to cook another it. He never knew that cooking meat over an open flame would taste so good. He liked cooking outside but something about the night sky and the air off of the ocean made the fight worth it. He walked up the steps to the road after fifty minutes.

The cabby started sweating bullets Damien could tell he knew who Damien was and was probably confused about why Damien was in his cab. As the heir of swift Co. with no adult supervision in a black trench coat with a bag full of Tupperware it was odd to say the least. Damien silenced him immediately.

"I'll give you 5,000 dollars if you can get me to Caldecott tunnel quickly and ask no questions," Damien told him. His eyes turned to dollar signs like a cartoon character. He did as instructed and Damien soon found himself facing the access tunnel that would Functioned as the access point to Camp Jupiter.

"Halt identify yourself " Damien heard as he walked down the tunnel a voice calling out him.

"Hey, New Demigod just wanted to come over and say hi get a stamp of approval maybe a prophesy maybe find out if I have some siblings around here," Damien tells them as He puts down the meat at his feet putting his hands up to show no harm.

The roman guard in full gear walks forward and takes the meat and pats me down. His face is really serious and He don't like how the guard just grabbed his belongings so Damien decided to mess with him a little. He turn on his eyes making them glow red. It startles him making He stumble back a couple of feet. Damien notices that He had sees something new with them while looking at the demigod it was like He could see a little fire in his chest for another roman guard walks up he sees the flame in his chest as well both of them like a small torch. Damien chuckled at the jump he did from being startled. The dude approaching chuckles at the other guy as well.

"what scared of a little kid, Drake" The new guard says to his fellow guard. this causes drake to pout a little upset. He stormed off back up the tunnel.

"I will be reporting this," The guard named drake says to his companion forgetting about my makeshift bag. Damien pick up the bag, The new guard has a smile on his face Damien instantly decides he likes the guy, he nods his head toward the tunnel telling Damien that they should move down the tunnel.

"Hey, Damian Swift nice to meet you," Damien told him. He looked a little bewildered.

"Of swift co.?" He asked incredulously."I'm Michael Kahale, I hope they let you into camp."

They reach an open cavern the sight is amazing he can see the city of new rome that Camp Jupiter protects from here. More massive than he previously expected. they get in a little row boat and cross the little Tiber. Michael is looking at Damien like a celebrity and Drake keeps looking back and glaring at him both of them look to be at most 12 years old. As the ship touches the other side They see an army looking at Them. Damien steps out of the boat and looks at the two in front dressed in a purple road dressed in purple.

As Damien's feet touchs the ground, A Black Star and a crescent moon appeared above his head, and next to it a smaller Symbol of two crossed torches. He knew this was a "claiming" from his knowledge of Percy Jackson the cohorts all kneel. The preator's watch in awe but do not kneel though they do lean forward in a bow.

"A new son of the Mighty Primordial Goddess of Night, Mother to Sleep, Dreams, Strife, Revenge Compassion, Death, the Fates, and so many more of the gods and titans that make up the fabric of our world The Great Lady Nox. and a legacy of Trivia the goddess of Magic, Witchcraft, and Crossroads."
