The Moon's Crimson Archer

Blade 5: The Contract's Term And Services...

Archer POV:

I sat on my lonely hill, with many swords stabbed into the ground as far as the horizon in this Reality Marble of mine.

The whole place is desolate, cold, and hopeless, with gears in the sky along with the dark clouds.

The Earth is barren and dry, nothing living and mostly dead in this dusty abyss...

I was isolated in this world of his, but someone arrived...

Archer: "Who are you?"

Stranger: "Hello, my child..."

Archer: "Child? Who are you to call me You're Child!?"

Stranger: "I'm Gaia, Mother to everything on Earth..."

Archer: "Gaia?"

Gaia: "Yes, I am the Primordial of the Earth, I despise the Olympians due to how they rule..."

Archer: "What did they do to piss you off?"

Gaia: "They lead humanity astray and the Earth itself is slowly dying..."

Archer: "So what do you want with me? Go to Green Peace for that kind of thing, not me."

I said as I stared at her with his cold Silver eyes as the horizon reflected the anger and sadness of his past when the word "Olympians" was mentioned...

Gaia: "Simple, I want you to lead them to another path, a 'better' path..."

Archer: "How? I'm bound to this damned contract with Alaya...!"

I said as I clenched my fist in anger and regret what I have done for several past millennia...

Gaia: "I can free you from this curse of a contract, but you will temporarily work for me until we are done, you will be free to travel to the Fields of Asphodel or Elysium..."

The proposition that she just spoke was enticing, then I thought about it for a while holding my chin to look intelligent as I just compared the numerous Pros and Cons, though the answer was clear in my mind...

Archer: "I accept."

I then shook Gaia's hand as I was soon teleported out of my Reality Marble and into the middle of nowhere I surveyed his surroundings littered with Trees and soon realized that I'm in the forest somewhere...

Archer: "Where have you teleported me, Gaia?"

Gaia: "I've already broken the contract that binds you to Alaya, but I want you to still uphold your end of the deal..."

Gaia: "And don't worry about a master, I would gladly supply you with enough mana and a physical body to let you do your job..."

She said as she stood behind him with an evil smirk on her face...

Archer: "I understand..."

I said with a completely emotionless face.

She then touched Archer's forehead and gifted him a body and mana, fulfilling the words that she said earlier...

Gaia: "Done!"

Gaia: "Go to the West, that is where your first task lies..."

Archer: "And you can't just tell me my first Task, why...?"

Gaia: "I'm pretty sure you would figure out your task eventually..."

Archer: "You divine beings really love the cryptic and mysterious jobs that you give to others..."

Gaia: "Can you blame me? Being present for almost anything, you get bored really quick..."

Gaia: "That's why I love to make my own entertainment when I can..."

Archer: "That's a fair point..."

Gaia: "Glad you agree with me, now go, Archer..."

She said as she soon dissipates into dirt and stone that crumbled and returned to the ground that it came from, leaving me to sigh and walk in the direction that I was told to go, by the primordial...

----Meanwhile in Camp Half-Blood----

3rd POV:

Everyone was having a peaceful evening as they ate and gave scraps of their food as an offering to the Gods...

Percy Jackson, The Hero Of Olympus, Son Of Poseidon, The person who had united both the Roman and Greek camps, The one who had willingly jumped into Tartarus for his girlfriend, along with many other titles was hanging out with his friends, The Seven, Reyna, and other Campers...

But when Rachel walked into the campfire area, a green mist began to appear and surround the whole area!

She floated into the air with glowing green eyes and her hair waving sporadically in the air...

Within her, The Oracle Of Delphi spoke a new prophecy...

Rachel:

The Moon's child once lost is found

Heed the abandonment done by the council

Memories erased resurfaced

Beware the Black and Red Omen

For he is the Crimson Bowmen

Wielding weapons and vengeance unbound

Convince him to join for survival

And free him from the Earth's Service

Child's heart from cold to warm

He will save you from the swarm

His body made of Swords

His world shall slay the horde

If not his hatred envelop

Or feelings once lost redevelop

She spoke before falling down to the ground unconscious...

And with that everyone panicked, Chiron trying to calm everyone down, and Mr. D slumping down into his seat with a face full of guilt...

Overall they had an "eventful" evening...
