chap 40

I collapse to the floor panting as the officers run up behind me " What the hell did you do!?" one yells as I try to catch my breath " Banished a demon what the hell do you think." I winch as I say this and I fell my rips only to sharply inhale " Yep ribs definitely broken oh well." I push my self up ignoring the pain and collapses my spear and walk towards the hole in the wall " Officer please see to the bones I'm going back to my motel room to heal." I say limping way before he can say anything after a few minutes of walking i see a small group of girls waiting along the road. " You work fast mortal." I lower my head " hahaha ow ow it hurts to laugh but I can't take it all the credit lady Artemis the local police had the information." She chuckles " But you fought the creature so you carry the honor but before the blessing." The goddess walks over towards me and places a finger on my ribs causing me to sharply inhale " I'm not as good at healing as my brother as much as I hate to say it you will need his help or his children to heal these wounds but even i can tell you have four broke ribs." the goddess removes her finger.

" I figured M'lady." I lower my head " Raise your head young Zachary you are a honorary hunter Zoè give him some nectar hopefully that fix him up." I look up to see a rare smile on the lieutenant " Your not bad for a male son of Zeus here drink up." She hands me a canteen and I drink some nectar only for it to taste like coffee and I feel the ribs mending " Thank you Zoè." I hand the canteen back. " Your most welcome friend." I stand up and roll my neck " I have hunted the creature you demanded lady Artemis." I say just loud enough for the group to hear " And your hunt was successful young hunter and you have my blessing with it you may now communicate with animals and your aim will be more true." I lower may head as I feel a pleasant surge of power. " Thank you lady Artemis but I must take my leave I need some sleep then I'll head back to camp." The goddess nods as they turn and walk away before vanishing."

A few hours later

I yawn as I walk in my door and to find a iris message from silena " Hey silena what is up?" I say walking up to the projection " Nothing was wondering how your hunt went you didn't call i got worried." I smile and thoss my pen on the bed " I was fixing to call actually I just finished the local police had even information that it saves me time all I head to do was den and kill it." She places a hand on her chest and lets out a sigh of relief " Thank the gods you aren't hurt to badly are you?" I chuckle and shake my head.

" No bab I'm ok now that I have had some nectar I'll spend a few days up here to make sure the area is safe." She nods and I notce her glance to the side " Bab something wrong?" I ask as she shake her head quickly " N-no bab its just more of the campers are starting to fight its to the point now where chirion can hardly keep up with it and it's only getting worse." I sigh and pinch the bridge of my nose " Sweet baby zeus I leave for barely two days and everything goes to shit." She smiles and I feel alarms going of in my head ' That is a fake smile something is wrong.' " On second thought I'll come back the camp needs someone to help chirion out."

She shakes her head " No bab its fine." I raise my eyebrow and look directly at her eyes which seem to be screaming ' Please come back we need you.' I nod my head " Fine bab I'll be back asap." she nods before the image disappears and I flop on the bed and dig my phone out " Hey I want the plane fueled up and ready to go we are headed back tomorrow morning Someone is fucking with my home." I toss the phone to the side and close my eyes as a all new strange dearm hitts me.

I find myself running into a fight as a iron beam shoots from my arm and hitting two people in the head and when the beam comes back i find my hand and i launch my fist again as the same club covers my fist and shoots out knocking another two out as a woman in a black and white suit knocks the remaining out men out before walking up to me and kneeling down " Young man you know you can't use your qurik in public." I feel my head nod " But miss midnight today was the first time it awakened plus you were outnumbered." The lady eyes widen before she smiles and stroke my hair " Well thank you what is your name?" I feel my chest raise " Jern Drage at your service." ' Wait that isn't my name.' she chuckles before asking where my parents are and I feel a weight of sadness " They are dead murdered last year."

I bolt awake sitting on the bed clutching my pen and I quickly click it to find my spear extend and I quickly punch out but my arm remains the same. I close my spear and just glance at the clock 6:30am I sigh and get up and walk out the room with the key card and my bag on my shoulder and turn the key in before making my way to the airport.
