Egypt

In a land with just sand there stood a man walking the domes of sand, the Man was wearing Egyptian styled outfit that covered his body arms and legs. He wore a hood that covered his face, the only thing you could see was his two purple eyes that pierced through the darkness of his hood. He was walking towards a city that had two pyramids, In front of these two pyramids was a city and a large one at that it look like it was thriving it also had a wall that surrounded it. There was a line and a gate, there was also guards who had cat masks that were checking random citizens in.

The cloaked individual saw this and went to the long line that was in front of the gate. Couple of hours went past and he finally made it to the entrance of the gate there he met 2 guards with cat masks. One of them spoke first, "we will have to check you, do you have anything on you that could pose harm. If you lie you will suffer the consequences". Said the first guard Who had a spear in his left hand "I do have some weapons on me and some armor underneath my clothes but anything else from that nothing but clothing and a pouch of gold" set the hood man with honesty radiating off of his voice.

"I see, weapons are not banned from the city so you are good so just don't draw them out then you'll be good, we'll just have to check you to make sure you don't have anything else or that you're lying or not, you can never be too unsure". Said The first guard. After he said that the hooded individual nodded and widen his arm so that they could search him. The 2 guards patted him down and found everything that the hooded figure said was there, The 2 guards went back to their post and let him. But before he could go through he felt a hand on his shoulder he turned around and saw that the second guards hand was placed on his shoulder. "What's your name" ask the second guard. The individual replied by saying, "Xylo" Xylo replied. "Unique name I kinda like it well have a good day and please do not cause any trouble" said the guard respectfully.

"You to" replied Xylo As he walked into the crowded market that was beyond the gate. Xylo Took his hood off and started to look around, he saw a very crowded market with merchants selling food supplies and artifacts that contain magic. There was children playing around in the streets people laughing and eating, people working and some guards walking around to make sure no one was stealing anything.

overall it was a nice experience for Xylo, The other cities that he has been to wear not this peaceful. It actually surprises him that a city like this exist, Most cities he's been two were usually runed by merchants Who scam people out of their money and makes them do a lot of work. But I guess that's what you get if you get a merchant as a leader but here there was no such thing here it is run by a god, so that's what he's heard at least. Apparently it's run by Cleopatra the goddess of love, which makes sense. But Xylo doesn't want to get under her radar anytime soon. So he would have to be cautious while doing his things, especially if he's going to be fighting somebody soon.

As he was walking he noticed something from the corner of his eye, their were 2 kids that looked identical to each other being beaten by thugs in the ally way. They looked to be 8 years old and were both male, There is many things that Xylo can tolerate but one thing is for sure and one thing he can never tolerate is a bunch of kids getting abused beaten or even mistreated and especially in front of him. What was the most sick thing about it was no one was doing anything about it, which really pissed him off. Xylo took action he slowly walked to the group of thugs and tapped one of there shoulders. The one he tapped turned around "wha" before he could even talk a fist connected to his face and sent him flying.

There were 2 other thugs In the ally so Xylo had to make this quick so he can get out of there. The other two saw one of their friend who just flew by them and crashed into the wall instantly knocking their friend out they turned their heads back to where he flew from, then turned there heads to each other then back. But when they turned their heads back to the attacker, he wasn't there anymore. Used shadow step to get behind the both of them, after he got behind them he grip both of their heads and smash them together instantly knocking them out.

The kids seeing this was scared, they were covering their heads with their hands while sitting on their butts with their knees to their face quivering in fear. Xylo seeing this just smiled and slowly walked towards them, as they heard the footsteps of the stranger walking towards them their fear only grew. but what awaited them completely shifted their emotions, "you don't have to worry I'm not going to hurt you, my name is Xylo by the way" said Xylo with a smile on his face. Twins not expecting this hesitated for a second but ultimately accepted his kindness as their fear lessened. The one on the right spoke first "T-thank you mister" the left child didn't say anything but nodded at his brothers words. "No problem, just stay out of alley ways okay" Xylo said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes sir" they said in unison, "here let me give you hand" offered Xylo as he offered 1 hand to each twin.

They both got up and thanked him once more before running away to their parents. Xylo sighed while watching them run away, before walking away from the alley. But what Xylo didn't know that there was someone watching all of this unfold while starring daggers at Xylo as he walked away.

Xylo has been enjoying himself for his last week nothing has really happened ever since the alley incident. Xylo was sitting at a table eating his breakfast, he had toast with butter with the side of jelly. But all of this enjoyment soon went away when a damn dude suddenly walked up to his table and sat down in front of him while placing his feet on the table.

Xylo raised a eyebrow at the person who Who interrupted his breakfast. Xylo got a close look at his face then widen his eyes for a second but went back to his expressionless face, the individual sitting across from him didn't notice this. Xylo put down his half eaten toast and began to speak "question who the hell are you, and why did you ruin my morning with your smelly feet" said Xylo with confusion written on his face.

"You don't look like much do you" said the individual with a judge mental expression. "To be honest we both are wearing cloaks so we both don't look like much do we" replied Xylo with a sigh. "Hahahaha" he laughed at Xylos reply and said "you're right we don't" he said with a grin. "you still haven't told me who you are and why you are here if you don't have anything else to say then I will take my leave"Xylo said in annoyance. "yes I haven't come here to joke, I've come here to fight you and my name is Memphis" said the man with threatening tone.

"And why is that" said Xylo. You see I fight demigods for fun and kill them for fun, you're my next toy" Memphis said with a joyful tone. Xylo's expression didn't change after he said this which made Memphis raise eyebrow. "are you not scared" said Memphis with intrigued look. " One I will not fight you, two i'm not scared of you I've seen more uglier things in my lifetime" said Xylo with a intense glare.

Memphis huffed while taking his foot off of the table. "You know I will come after you either way" said Memphis. "I know" said Xylo with a deep voice. Memphis got up from the table and started to walk away, he said one last thing before he left " you better hope that your words don't bite you in the ass and when it does I can't wait to spear your heart take it out and eat it right in front of you" said in a sadistic laugh follow behind his footsteps leaving Xylos table. Xylo muttered "I certainly would like to see you try".

Xylo watches as Memphis leaves the table, "that guy is creepy as hell" he said with a heavy sigh. "I guess I can rent out a place for a week" thought Xylo. As he leaves the table with a tired expression.

(2 days later)

Xylo rented a house that was quite big and beautiful for 3 months, but this isn't just some random location. It's actually the location where Xylo and Memphis will fight in the future. Xylo just wanted to map out the lactation before fighting, Xylo new that Memphis was more powerful then him, but he also knows that Memphis was not going to Defeat him either. Xylo knows that it is going to be a hard fought battle and he was in a disadvantage in terms of skills such as Swordsmanship which is going to be a crucial reason why it's going to be a hard fight and also because of the time they fight as well. Xylo and Memphis are opposites Memphis gets stronger in the light and Xylo gets stronger in the dark, the only advantage that Xylo has is spell knowledge of all the magic he has. He could already tell the Memphis is going to rely on his tattoos that boost his magic and physical strength and his skills with the spear.

Xylo can't summon shadows, he isn't that strong yet and his shadow magic isn't going to be as strong as it is in the dark so shadow magic is out of the question. He doesn't have that much knowledge about death magic but he does have a lot of knowledge about fire magic which is going to be a key in this fight especially against Memphis. That's the only reason why he even rented the house in the begin with was just to fight somebody but he did need a place to stay so everything is welcome to him plus he likes the view. But Xylo was also concerned, sometimes visions can be wrong or misinterpret into something else.

To be continued.
