Chapter 3

I looked at Chazz graugly and still didn't register what he had said fully until the person they call Amitayus came out of the cockpit and I saw that he had dreads and the mark of the excommunicated family of dark and holy magic known as House Walz. "Nice to meet you I'm Amitayus Walz last of the Walz line expert in demonolgy, vampires, Angels, and my personal favorite... super natural and god anomalies."

He gave a slight smile showing off his perfectly white teeth and raked a stray strand of blue dread out of his face. He had two different colored eyes and he stood at 5'7. I took his hand and shook it his grip was solid and rough as if he's been doing hard labor since he was a child. "Nice to meet you Amitayus. My name is Icarus I appreciate the help back there." "Hey, no problem. After all a Spartans job is to look after the Second Child of Mariytus." "I'm sorry, Second Child of who now? Also, Spartans?"

"Ah, yes of course well I should explain..." "This is your Co-pilot speaking and we're making our descent into Kintora. Welcome home, Prince Icarus." "Prince!?" Everyone else looked at me as they said it and back at Amitayus then back at me. I just stood there at a loss for words all I could mutter out was "Prince..." As the co-pilot began to land the plane onto the landing strip I could see three rows of what seemed to be Kintoraian Royal Guards on either side of the plane as it landed. As the door to the plane opened the wintery crisp air hit differently as I was used to the cold and rainy winter days of London this was a semi-nice change of pace and scenery.

An old man with a cane, a long white beard ,and thick bushy eyebrows walked up to me and bowed slightly. "It is an honor to finally meet you Prince Icarus we welcome you home. My name is Mathias the Grand Elder Master of the Kintoraian Royal Commandos and a secret organization known as Resin." I was still taken aback by this old man and I wondered how old he was to still be serving the military. "It is an honor to meet you as well; Grand Elder Mathias." "No, the honor is all mine your highness."

Chazz ran up to Mathias and looked at him and said bluntly: "Hey! Old Man Mathias sir, How old are you?" Amber quickly came up behind Chazz and put a hand over his mouth and apologized profusely to Mathias for Chazz's behavior. Mathias gave a hearty deep old man laugh and gave a dismissive hand wave and replied back: "It's quite alright, truly when I was his age I was just as brash to my elders and my age is 106 years old." We all stared, jaw dropped at Mathias' answer until Amitayus came up behind us and he slapped his hand on my back. "I see you all finally met my father."

"FATHER!" we all exclaimed simultaneously. That's when a hooded figure quickly jumped over Mathias and Amitayus and started throwing fast jabs my way I quickly jumped back and followed up with a small sprint forward. That's when I noticed a heel drop kick just above my head then in a flash of light and speed the assalliant wrapped their small body frame around my body and had me in a submission hold. I just smirked and relaxed my entire body then bellowed out steam from my nostrils.

The assalliant quickly unwrapped themselves from me and jumped back. "Well, well it looks like you're going to give me trouble.Who are you anyway?" I asked as I was getting in my fighting stance. The mysterious assalliant lowered their guard and took off their hood.
