Lorien Legacies New Dreams

Damien opened the Car door of the Black SUV. As soon as He sat in the seat and saw his face Damien knew he was in deep shit. He looked angrier than Damien ever had seen him.

"Heyyyyyy, Big Guy," Damien said trying to take his rage down a notch.

"Hey, yourself tell me what's going on?" Uncle Simon says. His tone left no room for argument. Damien sighs. He looks at his wrist drawing his uncles eyes and calls forth the blade. SImon Jumps at the sight. Damien has a Hunch that he'll be able to see the blade change forms because it's made of wolfram (tungsten steel) as well as stygian iron. 

"Magic?" Simon Says after recovering.

"A gift from my mom," Damien told him dead serious." I know she's supposed to be dead but she's a part of a whole different kind of crazy than the kind we've been preparing for these last few months. Aliens is just scratching the surface of what's out there."

"I promise I'll tell you everything about the last few hours sooner or later but for now let's just focus on helping the Loric," Damien tells him trying to change the topic. He still looks angry but this time not at me. Along with anger, there is a bit of sadness.

"So, She is alive," Simon says Enraged about this fact to Simon if Damien's mother was still alive it meant she had abandoned Damien and never looked for his father.

"Yeah... I know you're angry but she's has got a pretty solid reason to disappear," Damien tell him. This turns dont his anger from an 8 to a 4 still doubting that there was any reason that could justify abandoning her son but he did hold his toungue from insulting her.

"A few other things about tonight I may have a few new special recruits that may be calling in to apply to S.H.I.E.L.D. threat level of Magicals, They are hard to describe but Sort of relatives from my mothers side of the family, they'll be put on mandatory watch when they enter our ranks and unless a level of trust is built they wont ever be but over Level 7 but they are strong." Damien pauses and looks at him he seems to have accepted the change of topic in stride." ooh I also got a few new abilities," Damien says then turns on his eyes noticing that SImon's flame was a lot smaller than the roman's The flame was brighter though the ones at the camp had been large but dim flames but the flame was uniquely beautiful white with a blue flicker around it. He looks shocked at the red glow.

"This doesn't have anything to do with my legacies It's like what happened when I awakened my magic before he got on the ship. With a bit of training, I'll be powerful even before I get my legacies." Damien tells him.

"What do they do?" Uncle Simon ask after the initial shock settled.

"I can kind of make people feel hopeless it will make knock people out if they have weak wills but the effect varies depends on people willpower and an additional factors," Damien tells Simon. Dimon looks like he has mixed emotions about that Damien is smart but this is first time he has power real tangible power sure He was already a budding martial artist able to dismantle up to three regular grown men in seconds but the big scary unnatural powers such as legacies they wouldn't awaken for years and with magic he wouldn't reach a level of power to be worrying for a long time but now in the span of one day Damien had real tangible power that could be a threat but Simon is also happy that Damien can now protect himself.

Simon looks like he's in thought for a moment and comes to a decision he doesn't tell me what but he what about but he smiles as he changes the conversation.

"well Forgetting your little Houdini act and putting aside your secrets, Happy Birthday," He says with a little sarcasm." So anything you're wanting to do today after we go pass out for a couple of hours of course."

"Maybe go to the beach today though it will be cool to hang out with one a bit more with one, how did your talk with Hilde go?" Damien replies.

"It was ok she tried to shoot me but when she saw Janus she calmed down enough to explain Then she accused us of playing games when number one came crying saying that you told her about her death. She's a pretty uptight woman though it's clear she loves One." Simon tells Damien. Damien Knew on Lorien That seeing the future was such a rare Legacy that it was thought to not exist Even if they escaped because the Loric knew their fate he'd have a tough time in proving it. Convincing them would be a rough experience.

Though it will be easy for some like Henri because he knew the elder's plan closely and Sandor who met 9's grandfather that could see the future.

"I don't think we should wait to slowly tell the garde about our support," Damien tell Simon." I know we had a plan to tell the Garde slowly but we might have other problems sooner or later. There are too many variables right now if we don't get them organized now we won't be able to later. Instead of having The Old man Find them all we should raise have him send out trusted subordinates with level 7 access his clearance already gives him access to recruits and we let him pick and train a squad to find them. We no longer need to go in order with One secured the others are essentially invulnerable we only need to worry about the cepan's." Damien says. Raising a hand at Simon's interruption.

"I know Lexa vetoed that last time when she found out about his history but we need to bring it up again. He's trustworthy and we are going too slow. I'm worried the mogodorians might get anxious now they haven't caught the greeters and one. They might get desperate once we slow their political growth. Though we still have a good bit of time it should be almost another 10 years until their leader comes to earth" Damien tells him. He looks down in contemplation to consider the proposal.

"We can't disagree with her outright this early in a partnership might seem we are controlling the loric rather than fighting alongside them if she makes an ultimatum we will have to be the ones to back down but we can try to ask if she can compromise maybe a joint search for Alexander and Lexa and have them pick the recruits together." Simon says then he goes silent for a moment and pulls out his phone.

Damien assume he's going to text one or the other. Damien turns away from him. Since He got into the car he'd been trying not to draw attention to the large backpack he had at his feet, as he went around New Rome he had made many deals and trades at Camp Jupiter he had arrived with nearly 3 dozen packages he gave away 5 packages of the meat to Markus to gain more recruits for S.H.I.E.L.D., He then traded the emergency money he carried with him for a good 50 red gold and 50 Denari (the currency of Camp Jupiter) an surprisingly he was able to exchange for 5 golden drachmas, He then traded one red gold for the small backpack a bit of a scam but he was rich and could always come back to trade more money, nothing special about it, he used half the remaining money to buy a loaf of Ambrosia and a full jug of nectar. He spent 5 red gold slim standard roman chest plate armor, Another 5 red gold on shin and arm protectors, He also bought a few purple camp Jupiter t shirts one that he was wearing under his new cloak at the time. He didn't see any magical items for sale though those might be few and far between.

Other than the things he had Bought at Camp Jupiter, he had the fang that had impaled his shoulder along with the 14 packages of meat he had his ruined jacket had shirt given. Seeing his uncle looking at the bag I zipped it open taking out a package of meat that he had cooked at camp jupiter.

"Eat It," Damien told him. Simon started to shake his head but Damien's seriousness gave him some pause. he looked at it strangely The meat was an unusual shade.

"What is this?," Simon asks. Damien refused to answer. "It's not poisoned is it," He asks chuckling. Damien moves forward as quick as a cobra grabbing his hand. It shocks Simon but he trusts his nephew and doesn't pull his hand back.

"exact opposite," Damien tells him. Curiosity over came Simon after a few seconds and he ate the jerky like mystery meat. at the same time Damien sliced his hand with his blade, Damien wasn't a 100 percent sure that it would have the same effect on him but hopefully it would or he was in for a long conversation. Simon jerked his had back looking at his nephew in shock and anger.

"Wait, Look" Damien says. Making him look down at his hand From that single bite his hand was rapidly heading the blood barely breaking skin before being reabsorbed into his palm.

" Tell me if you have any weird effects over the next couple of days but it's supposed to have some positive effects," Damien tell him.

"gee, Thanks I thought I was supposed to get you the gifts on your birthday." Simon said with a touch of sarcasm. Though he wasn't angry anymore happy at the discovery of such a miraculous meat. The car stopped after a bit Ike opened the door and we walked into the hotel.

"What time do you want to go see one?" Ike asked me.

"Let's head out around noon I want to sleep in," Damien tells him.

While it would be better to go earlier he couldn't wait to explore the gift his mother had given him. It had been killing him waiting that whole time in the Camp Jupiter and the car ride to the hotel. As soon as He heard the room door close behind Him and in the adjoining room off of the room where his uncle Simon was staying in He put his hand in his jacket.

As soon as his fingers reached into the pocket there was this cold sensation. He got his whole hand inside and didn't feel the fabric around his hand it felt like he had just put his hand in an ice box after putting his whole hand was in like magic trick as if he was reaching in deep to pull a rabbit out of a hat much deeper then the jacket pocket should of been.

He soon felt the edge of three books two of them thin one of them thick. He pulled them out one by one He reached back into the pocket and stuck his arm up to the elbow before reaching the end. He guessed that he could store things in the jacket thinking it was pretty cool. Though he didn't know how long that will last he would have to experiment and learn the limits. He looked at the books.

'Mom really hooked me up maybe this is her way of saying she loves me.' Damien thought. Then a darker thought crossed his thoughts.' Or she thinks I need to be ridiculously powerful to survive.'

Damien know somnokinesis is the manipulation of sleep that'll be handy but manipulating the mist that will be even more so If He could understand the Mist He could have the ultimate jedi mind trick over reality.

God everything looked so cool. It was no wonder Zeus feared my mom making kids this powerful. I Mean this was even more powerful than kids of the big three. It would take years to train but I'd be Op way before my legacies awakened But it'd be even better Than john because legacies can be taken away like what Sekatras Ra does with his legacy but not his magic or god-given abilities(pun intended). He set the books aside and then stepped out onto the hotel balcony looked at the night sky He was overjoyed at his mothers gifts but a part of him wasn't happy sure he had a way to protect himself but was it worth not having his mother truly in his life.

"Thanks, mom, Good night," Damien said to the night sky. He could feel the gentle breeze in the air Knowing his mother had heard him.
