5 The Lizard and the town

My stance was full of determination. When I stood I wiped the tears off of my face. My head hung low and my solders felt heavy. I felt that it would be better to just lay down and wait until I die, alone in the autumn lush. But I knew that my father would hate to see my end here. I began to collect all the resources I had on hand.

'One sword, a bottle of nectar, a few pieces of ambrosia, 24 drachma, then 10 gold drachma. This will be good for now. But I think I need to hurry north to the settlement, the more I prolong it, the less likely it will happen.' For once my thoughts didn't seem to jumble around in my brain.

"Prophecy of the 7...."

 -_---__--__--_---_--

'Didn't Bob say that I would be apart of the 7.. or now 8? Yeah he did say that. But why am I just remembering this? Ok calm down. Who is apart of the 7. Jason, Liper, Hank, Lazel, Leo, Piercer, Annie. That doesn't sound right... Wait.... the mist? Didn't it act like a barrier between mortal and..... Oh.... What if my mortal soul fused with this so the mist is blocking but at the same time not blocking me from seeing the mythic world? That has to be it. But how do I stop it? Maybe be more gody? Is that even a word. Ok I know what I will do. I will become stronger than my other soul by a vast amount so the mist doesn't blur my mind. That sounds right.' I finished my thoughts as I saw I was already walking north.

Couple Hours Later

I walked and ran for miles. It was leading into the dark. I stopped in my tracks and looked around myself. Oak trees, 2-3 inches tall grass, the forest smell mixed with the sound of running water, a river near me about 30 feet away, and the almost eerily silence of the forest. ' I'll make camp here, there a water source, flat land, and a pretty area to sleep.' I thought to my self as I laid down setting my backpack and sword to my right. I then placed my backpack under my head as a makeshift pillow.

As I looked up, the hardness of the day finally setting in. I couldn't help but shed a few tears. "Dad, I wish that you will find peace in fading. I don't know how that feels like but... I love you dad, and thank you for everything you have done for me." After I finished praying to my dad, I laid back and passed out cold.

Dream land

You know how they say demigod's dreams are never peaceful? Well they are very right. You may ask how bad they can be, I feel everything, hear everything, and it feels so close to real life that you can mistake them.

I ran toward an encampment covered in scars, arrows, and even a few chunks missing. The scene changes, I found myself dying from old age surrounded by people I love. "We will miss you grandpa." A little blond girl that was next to my bed said sadly as her eyes tear up. The scene changes as I see.... destruction ? Everything was destroyed as creatures ran wild. In the middle of it was a women seemly made of dirt? 

The scene changes as I suddenly was running across a bridge towards an army, I then felt pain that made me feel like I was dying. The scene changes as I once again feel the emotion there, hardship, pain, and tiredness. The scene changes before I could figure out where I was. I then saw that everything was... warm? Warmth like how my dad hugged me. 'If this is what it takes for people to feel like this, I'll endure the hardship.'

Then it faded as my brain turned off, and boy was I relived to get some sleep.

I awoke to my body screaming for me to roll to the side.

As i rolled I heard an alarming slam to where I was before. My eyes opened to see a big ass drakon.

It was easily 100 feet long and the size of 3 stories.

I quickly grabbed my sword before the creature could react. I jumped back to gain some space between bob 2 and myself.

"ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRR" The drakon released one hell of a war cry

"AHHHHHHHHHH" I released my own war cry as i suddenly smelled acid. Without wasting a second my wings popped out and pushed me back just as a spray of acid hit the spot to where I was. 'Big size, acid breath, and what else do you have?' I thought in my head as i tried to formulate a strategy to escape and or kill it.

"ROARRRRRRRR" The drakon muscles tensed and I knew that it was planning to rush me. As quickly as the drakon rushed me, I took flight a couple of meters up. ' Can't I just fly away?' I began to think, but before I could act the drakon spat acid and I barley dodged from it hitting my chest.

"AUGH" I cried out in pain as instead of it hitting my chest, it hit my left wing. I knew I couldn't fly much after that, so I quickly flew backwards and lowed myself. 

As soon as my feet toughed the rough dirt, I ran the opposite way of the drakon because no way in hell can a 6 year old demigod kill a drakon.

I ran quickly as adrenaline ran though my veins.

"CRASH CRASH CRASH" 

The noises of multiple trees falling behind me was clear.

'It must be 50 ish feet away. It seems that it speed is not the best, but neither is mine. It now a competition of who can run the fastest.' I finally formulated my plan now I just needed to act on it.

It surprisingly didn't take long for myself to out run the drakon but I knew better than to stop so I continued my run north.

2 hours later

'I-is that the town?' I thought while sweat was on my body like i jumped into a river with my clothes on. But I wasn't going to let that stop me. As I ran closer and closer my pace slowed. My pace came to a measly walk.

"Hey boy where do you think you're going?" One of the 2 guards at the gate asked. He looked like a usual Greek warrior, spear and all. 

"I'm coming here because I heard it has good rooms to stay at and it was in line of my traveling path." I stated to the guard who look sceptic about a very sweaty 6 year old with a sword.

"5 drachma please" The guard said after a couple of moments. "Here you go" I said handing him 6 instead of 5. "You gave me a extra one?" The guard said after counting the money. "Well you can keep it if you tell me where a good inn is." The guard took a moment to think and said that there was a good one just up the street called lotus guard.

Thanking the guard I quickly made my way to the inn. After a minute or 2 I made it to the inn. It looked pretty normal for the most part, besides the homeless dude. At least I think he was homeless or just a beggar. When I walked in the person in charge asked for 5 drachma a night. I quickly handed it to the man and he showed me to my room.

"Here it is, don't damage it or we will charge you for repairs." The man said threating.

"Alright I got it I won't break noting" I said opening my door and immediately landed down and went to sleep. What? Fighting a drakon takes a lot outa you.
