So I'm gonna be using Cyclone as the main protagonist of this story cuz to me, he's the perfect character for my style of writing ;-;
Chapter 2 will also be rewritten as I didn't like how it ended up
So I'm gonna be changing a lot of things in that chapter
And apology goes for the long wait for me to update

Cyclone wished for a different plot, one that perhaps showed him cleverly unsheathing swordand smack the monster to millions of dust, or summon a cyclone to sweep him off his feet (oh wait... that sounded wrong), or at the very least bore him to death with his rambles.

Truth was, he ready to drop down his weapon and scream, "DON'T KILL ME, I'M NOT TASTY AND TOO SKINNY "

With a girl stuck in the muck and a manticore hungrily looking at him as if he was lunch, things weren't looking good for the windy boi.

Just in case you have no idea what a manticore looks like up close, here's how it looks like.

Imagine a lion with an ugly man's face that looks as if the poor creature spent half his time smashing his face against a wall, along with a wicked scorpion tail.
Now you have a manticore in mind. Hooray.

Ahhhhhh, where was he again?

Oh yeah. Getting ready to be lunch.

That was probably not the best time to have a dream.

Somehow, Cyclone could feel his eyelid shutting down as if someone had cast a sleep spell on him. As much as he struggled to keep awake and not be knocked out, his body did not want to obey. Sleep looked like the only option he had.

If there was a god of dreams, whether it was Greek or Roman or Norse or whatever kind there is, Cyclone was tempted to strangle him.

"Dude, get up."

"Dude, I mean it. Get up"

"WAKE UP YOU LITTLE MORTAL"

"IM UP!"

Gasping, Cyclone opened his eyes to be greeted by yet another unfamiliar scenery.

Cyclone as standing on a hill. From a distance, snow covered the peak of a distant mountain like some kind of white hat. Laid below the mountains was some kind of city, lights blooming across it like exotic flowers as night fell. Everything looked beautiful and relaxing.

But something was wrong.

"Notice something?" Said the voice who had ordered him to wake up.

Cyclone braced himself before turning around to look at the person cause you never know, the person who was yelling at you to wake up might be a normal person or just some random drunk dude who had stumbled on your body.

He was a middle-age man with salt-and-pepper hair, wearing a pretty cool suit in his. He had a pretty slim build and would have looked like some kid's normal but awesome dad, if he didn't had the weird looking staff-like weapon in his hand.

The weird guy was squatting down, fiddling with some rocks while gazing at the city, but his face was either in grief or he was deciding whether or not to roll himself down the hill. Hopefully, the first one.

Cyclone looked at the strange man and then stared at the city, then went back to looking at the man, "Sorry, do I know you?"

The man looked a tad bit surprised, " You don't? Ah, well, that makes this situation very awkward."

"You pulled me from my moment of death just to realise that I don't know you. Must be startling for you."

"Now now, there's no reason to be sarcastic, my boy."

"Wait, you're my dad?"

"No, I'm not. I'm not Darth Vader."

"Aw man, that would have been cool."

"Don't you recognise this?" He waved the staff weapon in front of Cyclone's face as if he thought he was extremely shortsighted, which is definitely not true.Cyclone has perfect vision.
(Please excuse him from his comment. That makes Cyclone sound like a Solar)

"Welp, I guess not.... Ah, never mind. The name's Hermes, one that , hopefully, you'll be hearing often soon." Hermes pulled the weapon back and Cyclone could actually see what it was: a caduceus. "Anyways, the big guy-you do know who I'm talking about, right?"

"Zeus?" Cyclone guessed.

"Correct! You get an A! Back to where I was, Zeus wanted you guys to do a special favour for him, though he definitely do not actually want to say it out loud, " Hermes glanced towards the sky briefly. "Mostly just to save the world and you know, things like that."

"What?"

"There's sort of a problem involving a witch being brought back to life by a deal with whoever sent her and attempting to resurrect Gaia herself . Also, the only way to find her is by defeating three of her guards that kill anyone who try to find the location of her HQ."

"Sounds awesome." Cyclone remarked, not sure whether he should be attach the guy / god / deity or kick him where the light doesn't shine and run away screaming.

"Either you're crazy or you're sense of adventure is way of the chart," Hermes got up and dusted away the non-existent dirt from his clothes. "I enjoyed our time together, but I really must go and you got to return to your friends. So this is goodbye"

"Wait wha-" I couldn't finish my sentence before the dude waved his hand over my face, told me too sleep and my stupid body followed his order

Cyclone woke up to find an idiot 1cm from his face.

"BLAZE, WHAT THE FUDGE???"

"Dude, you went cold for a full 10 minutes. I was just about to perform CPR on you but luckily, you woke up." Blaze said.

Cyclone was about to close his eyes again just in case it was just a bad dream until he remembered what he was doing before he got summoned by the god,"WAIT WHAT HAPPENED TO CYRA??? AND THE MANTICORE???"

"Relax, Cyra's fine.The manticore ran away when we were approaching it tho. Too bad, it's skin could be really useful." Sean said

"Hoi there," Cyra walked out, clutching a makeshift crutch, her leg wrapped in some bandages. "I'm still very much alive. I wasn't sure what happened to you, my boi, but at least we're fine."

"What happened while I was out?" Cyclone asked, still a bit embarrassed about the fact that he was out cold in the middle of combat.

"Well, both our camps met up halfway on the trip here. Couple of minutes later, we heard Cyra's scream and a soft thud sound, let's assume that sound was your head, and got here as quick as we can. The rest you already know. Anyways,I think the Greek camp is already at our HQ so let's just meet up with them, k?" Moonlight asked.

"Fine with me."

About 500 metres from HQ, the group heard a scream.

5 minutes later, they charged into the area with their respective weapons ready, to be greeted by their fellow allies fending off some hellhounds, or at least, trying to fend them off with little success.

Just before they jumped into battle, a wounded Sasha spotted them, Zero and Diana scrambled to get to her to heal her but she pushed them off.

"Jade! Could you go with Aliya and Liz and help Dragon and Killer? Emma and Syia go after Scorpio, Skylia and Mella. The rest of us will fend off the rest. Help whoever is in danger. Just go!" , she said.

Just like that, the rest of the team except for Cyclone, Blaze, Quake and Solar sprang onto their feet and hurled themselved into battle like they have already done a bunch of times, while the four boys are left there to stand like a bunch of idiots with no idea what they are supposed to do.

"Uh... is that Ice over there? You know, the boy with those wicked sharp ice swords battling the two bigger hellhounds? And isn't the one attacking the mutts with vines Thorn?" Blaze stated.

Before Cy can say anything, Quake immediately sprinted towards Thorn with his rock gloves (is that how it's called?) out. He bashed one of the creatures away and picked another up and threw it into a nearby river like it barely weight more than a paper ball.

"MY BABY!!! ARE YOU ALRIGHT???" Quake hugged Thorn's head tightly and practically ignored the rest of the commotion happening around, including Ice who's still fighting off the hellhounds.

"Yea, mom. I'm totally fine," Ice said through gritted teeth, angrily slashing through the monsters bodies.

"I'm coming, bro," Blaze rolled his eyes before he and Cy jumped in to help.

Half an hour, most of the hellhounds were either dead or wounded while the rest just retreated back to wherever their lair is. Meanwhile, Zero and Diana were spending whatever energy they had left healing those who are terrible injured. Those who weren't injured too badly or were not injured at all were left to find first-aid kits to bandage their wounds up.

"Uh... so what happened earlier?" Aliya asked while bandaging her leg that was scratched by one of the hellhound's attack.

Scorpio grabbed a small bottle of nectar, opened it, and took a swig of the drink. Instantly, some of her wounds were healed and she looked better than she was before. "The hellhounds were already there when we got to HQ. I think they were n the lookout for something, I'm assuming it's us. There was also a random guy, who was probably the one in charge of the hellhounds, standing next to those bushes and talking to a projection of a woman. 5 minutes later, he ended his call and left the site, leaving his pets behind as a gift for us. There was no way we could actually just stand around so we fought the creatures. We didn't actually think that they would outnumber us by 1 to 7." She awkwardly scratched her head before glancing at the rest, begging for the attention to be taken away from her.

"Well, we can't really blame you guys... Anyways, did any of you actually heard what the guy said?" Liz asked while trying to piece the whole thing together in her head.

"Not the whole conversation, unfortunately, only bits and pieces of their conversation." Mella stated.

"The guy seemed to be begging from whoever he was talking to for some extra time. His reason was it was hard to catch his targets since they were constantly accompanied by people," Killer remarked. She casually flicked her one of her knives out and began to toy with the blade with her finger. " I think I know who he was targeting. Want to know?"

"Yea?"

Killer pointed said knife at Cyclone and looked at him straight in the face. "I think he was targeting you and your brothers."

"Well, that's one new enemy added to our long list of people who hate us." Quake stated.

Hi guys! So sorry for not updating a lot last...year... oh gosh...

Anyways, lately I've been interested in the plot of this book so I might put more time in writing this while I have the motivation.

I know this chapter isn't really the best but I did put in all my effort and time in making this chapter.

Yea...sorry for this crappy chapter
