The Demigod in Azeroth

NorthShire abbey ( Cont)

"Hey, watch where you're going, moron!"  

I stumbled into a boy in chainmail who looked to be about 16 years old. He had blue eyes, long brown hair, and a sharp jawline. He glared at me, frustrated, and then the weirdest thing happened. The kid behind him hit him in the head with a wooden pole. "Damnit, Desmond, stop hitting with that fucking thing, or else." The weird stick-wielding teen looked at the other boy with a seductive smile. "Or else what.." The boy on the ground cringed. "Stop, please, you're creeping me the hell out, dude. Besides, this guy was daydreaming and not watching where he was-" he was cut off by another swift whack in the head with the staff. "OOOWWWW, YOU FUCKER!"
"Have some manners, Aurelius. You walked into to him. He's clearly not from around here. Now say you're sorry and help the boy up, or else," He raised the staff. The teen just grumbled, "Sorry," under his breathe and pouted, crossing his arms like a child........

These people are weird... The other boy was dressed in a robe that was brown with black accents. He had Curly brown hair that fell below his ears with stud earrings, and an olive complexion. He approached and offered me his hand, "Sorry about my friend here. He can be rather hotheaded and easily provoked. My name's Desmond Lavigne, but I go by Des. The pouting child on the ground is Aurelius Frook."

 
"I can speak for myself, you know."

"Shut up, Aurelius" He rolled his eyes. "I've lived in these parts my whole life, working in the vineyards around the Eastern Kingdoms, and I can certainly say that you are not from around here. You look rather... exotic." He let the last word of that sentence drop with a long breath and cracked a smile, raising an eyebrow at me. If he wasn't a child of Aphrodite, he was something worse.

 
"Well, you're right, I'm not from around here. What exactly is.. here?" Aurelius had, at this point, gotten off the ground, but looked annoyed at my ignorance. "You are in Elwynn forest, just outside of Stormwind city, the capital city of the Alliance, and, more specifically, the Eastern Kingdoms. More specific than that, you're on Azeroth." I nodded. 'So, this was the planet that voice was talking about in my head.' Then, I remember that  Zoe is supposed to be here and I have to find her. "Hello, hey, weirdo," The chainmail-clad teen waved his hand. He started knocking his knuckles on my head as if it were a door. I batted his hand away and shot him my wolf glare. He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Knock it off, I was thinking. I'm looking for someone- a girl." Desmond's face dropped with displeasure. Aurelius put his hand to his face and whispered behind it, "You and me both, pal." This seemed to annoy Desmond as he then hit Aurelius a third time with his staff. Aurelius, falling to the ground, grabbed his head from the pain.

'I'm never going to find her, am I?' I thought, looking up to the sky.

"Well, are you gonna introduce yourself, outlander?" Desmond asked.
"Oh, sorry. My name is Percy, Percy Jackson."
"What a weird name." Desmond motioned for his staff to hit Aurelius again, but feigned it just to see him flinch. He let out a chuckle.

"Anyway, I was traveling with this girl. Her name is Zoe and we kinda got separated, and I need to find her, but I don't really know where she is." I half lied. They didn't think too much about it, looking at each other. "Well, if you were Separated, it couldn't be at a worse time. If you're gonna go find her, wherever she is, you're gonna need some equipment, and I doubt those old rags are gonna protect you out in this world."

"How bad could it be?" I asked ........ It was bad. Very bad.

 After about an hour of sitting in the Abbey, talking about the ending of the Third War, a demon from outer space wanting to kill all life in the universe so a bunch of more evil void lords didn't take over the universe, A Knight with his soul ripped from his body that unleashed a Zombie plague on the northern eastern kingdoms, killing his father and destroying the city his bloodline built and ruled for generations. Oh, and a faction of races of bull people like Minotaurs, trolls Orcs, and undead people.

I sighed, "Damn the fates ...." I thought aloud, earning a strange look from the two teens.

"Well, Des and I were on our way to collect some wolf pelts for coin so we could buy some new gear. You wanna come with us?" Aurelius asked politely.

"Oh look, he does have manners," I teased, looking at Des who chuckled. Aurelius frowned at being the focus of the joke.

"I guess I have nothing better to do, but I don't have a weapon anymore. I lost mine when I was traveling." I said, thinking about Riptide. I missed the blade, but if it brought Zoe back, it was worth it. I owed her that. I hope she's okay wherever she is.

"Here, you can take one of my swords. I'm not really good at duel-wielding anyways. I'm probably gonna trade it in for a two-handed sword, or even a shield." He took his scabbard off and handed it to me with the blade sheathed inside.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." He smiled at me and we made our way off into the forest.

We walked for what seemed like hours, but I have to say, it was pretty peaceful not having to worry about being hunted because of my scent. I could simply enjoy a peaceful walk in the forest .

"We should be at the den soon. It's supposed to be a really large pack of about 10 wolves, no less, if it's what Eagen had told us about," Aurelius pointed out.

When we were walking, I had asked about the wildlife population and if it was true the locals were paying handsomely for hunting the creatures because of over population and killing the hunting game for the citizens of Stormwind. The teens confirmed that, yeah, the Stormwind government was paying people to hunt these beasts, not make them go extinct.

We came across the river I had woken up in, and, as we went to cross, instead of finding wolves, we came across bandits wearing red and brown clothing, red bandanas, and black shrouds over their heads. They surrounded the three of us, I counted about four of them.

One of the bandits shouted, "FOR THE DEFIAS!" and charged at Aurelius.
In the blink of an eye, he dodged the dagger-wielding bandit with ease, took his blade, and sliced his throat. He swung at the back of both of his knees, shredding his tendons, and then he jammed his short sword into the bandits back. Two charged Desmond, but that's when he did something I hadn't seen before. His eyes began to glow with pure light, and he yelled in an ethereal voice, "SMITE!" The two bandits shot back into dust. 'What the hades was that?' This left me to size up the last bandit.

He charged. I didn't wanna kill the guy, so I did the disarming trick I learned when I was 12. I swung and knocked him out with the pommel of my sword.  Aurelius ran up next to me and started tying the bandit up.
He looked up to me, "Hey you're not bad with a sword. That was pretty cool. I've never seen that trick before, you'll have to teach it to me one day."  I nodded, "Sure, no problem. It's the least I could do considering you guys decided to bring me with you."

Desmond approached the man we tied up and took his mask and shroud off. Desmond gasped at the person he saw.
"By the light! We caught Garrick Padfoot." 
" Who now..?" I asked.
"He is a wanted criminal by the Stormwind government. SI-7 will pay us very well for his capture," Desmond said.  "You could afford really good gear for your travels, Percy," Aurelius added.

"Whatever I need to do to find Zoe, I'll do it. Let's take him in."

And with that, we headed to Stormwind city to turn in our bounty.
