Linked Demigods (HIATUS)

Chapter 20: Who Is He Now?

Twilight's POV

It was my turn to tell the story. The whole chain listened as I recounted my tale. We cried tears for Bianca and Zoe, and all gave shaky smiles for the promise I made my mother. They didn't mind that I said my name was Link.

And with that discovery, also came the fact that I was Wolfie. There was many surprises all round, except for Time and Wild, who knew beforehand. With that, it was my chapters in Earth concluded, and more information for whoever was next.

It was clear that all of us were demigods, or something similar. Time would be something else. He wouldn't just be left out like that. If I thought about what it could be, Time probably would be the most powerful.

We all speculated, but there was no solid facts. After lunch, we continued to move across Hyrules, but we got no closer to finding whoever was making the black-blooded monsters.

Then, for the first time, we actually did some straight up spars. We found a good area to spar when all of the cattle were cleared away. This time, we got to see everyone's true fighting skills.

When it came to my turn, without me realising it, I was doing all of the skills that the Hero's Shade taught me. In the corner of my eye, I saw Time's eyes narrowing suspiciously.

After the fights, Time pulled me aside to talk.

"So...those moves you were using out there. Where did you learn them?" he asked.

Sure. I'd just say 'it's you but when you're dead'. That makes perfect sense.

"Uh...someone...taught me?" I managed to say.

Time's eyes narrowed again, but his expression softened.

"You can tell me," he said. "Who was it?"

I looked into his eyes. He was the old man, my ansestor who he didn't know I was. Time put a hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay. I hope you'll tell me, one day." he said. "C'mon- the others are waiting."

Feeling hollow, I followed him back to the camp.

Percy's POV

The gods and the camps knew what happened to Twilight. We told them about him being a wolf. I hope that it didn't break his trust. The Hunters (the rest of them) were the first to hear.

I had no doubt that someone else from his friendship circle would arrive, though my mind got hung up on some of the things Atlas and Twilight said. Ansestor? Old friend? Mirror of Twilight? Midna? Even the cat had gone with Twilight, so no answers there.

Athena herself had no idea, which was crazy in itself. However, everyone accepted it. We all knew that more were coming. The question was, who was it next?

Percy's POV

Coming out of the woods was a glistening amberinsect, ten feet long, with jagged pincers, an armored tail, and a stinger aslong as my sword. A scorpion. Tied to its back was a red silk package. 

"One of us gets behind it," Annabeth said, as the thing clattered toward us."Cuts off its tail while the other distracts it in front." 

"I'll take point," I said. "You've got the invisibility hat." 

She nodded. We'd fought together so many times we knew each other'smoves. We could do this, easy. But it all went wrong when the other twoscorpions appeared from the woods.
