Issei Demigod of Olympus

Descend

( Ancient Wasteland, Tartarus)

" Wake up!" Issei sprang awake, as he got kicked by something across a dusty stone floor. Laughter came from all round, from many hundreds of people. He felt powerless, as he kept getting kicked around. Each kick was given more and more force, sending him further away, or making him crash into a wall harder." Fucking pathic!"," Weakling!"," Kick him! Kick him more!" He tried to stand, getting up bit by bit by supporting himself against the wall, but someone kneed him in the head before he could even catch a glimpse of them.

His head went blank for a second, before he managed to ease the fall with his arms. Everything was ringing and wobbly. He could barely focus on a few of the nearby people, who all seemed to spin around and become distorted. They started laughing even more, as he looked at them with this dazed look." Haha! You broke him!"," Can't see, little shit?!"," How many fingers do I have?" He tried to regain focus, but got kicked by two people at once, making him throw up a mixture of blood and saliva." Gross."," Fucking Half-breeds." He got tapped over by one of the two speaking, rolling him over on his back.

The dizziness, feeling of his jaw wanting to open to throw up more and pain made him look at the man with an unfocused look of anger. He smirked in response, stomped on his stomach hard and made him throw up another volley of blood and spit." I can't believe you are supposed to be some big scary monster. You don't even fit your multitudes of impressive titles, Hero." The man said. He wore nothing more than a tunic, covering most of his hairy and muscular body. He had yellow eyes, with black irises like a frog. Two earrings on each ear, one was a horn and the other was a small skull. He put a little more pressure into another stomp, but Issei kept himself from throwing up.

" Annoying." The man said. He got down on one knee and got straight eye contact with him, showing off his nose ring and letting Issei feel his stinky, hot breath touch his bruised face." ..you should.. Really think about.. Getting a mint." Issei managed to say, gasping for air and trying his best to resist the pain. He seemed to piss off the man, as he gave him a slap so hard it was sure to leave a red mark." Piss ant!" Issei just smirked briefly back, before clasping his teeth together, as someone from behind nearly broke his back with a powerful kick.

" Says the one, unable to even defend himself." It was another man, with dark skin and a navy blue suit on." Heh, serves you right-"," And you-" He grabbed the man by his throat, bringing him to his knees, letting Issei unfortunately get a glance at his crotch. Not a pretty sight."-I thought Grandfather made it clear to you, to just soften him up, not break him." Issei felt thankful for the short break from his beating. Yet this wasn't much better, as he felt like if the man with the suit left, they would all beat him within an inch of his life." I wa.. I was just doi-" His throat briefly was crushed by the man."- I swear to you.. On our father's name.. I was just softening him-" He was thrown away with ease.

" You better mean that, Asterion. And for everyone else's sake, I hope Ned won't come here and find him in a worse shape than I did." He emitted a dangerous aura, as he glared at all of the others in the room. He then dusted off his suit, gave Issei a quick discontent glance and left, vanishing down a nearby hallway soundlessly. Asterion, the hairy man, got off the ground, grunting and snorting like an angry animal. His eyes kept staring intensely at the last place the man had been, before he turned around and saw all of the others.

They seemed easy to frighten and to turn coat, as the cheering from earlier and looks of respect towards him had vanished just as the man had." What are you all looking at?!" Asterion growled, as he made himself seem bigger as he raised his arms and shoulders. His body slowly became more bulky and furry, as two tip pointed horns grew out above his head. Issei had already guessed from his looks, but hearing his name, Asterion, that this man was the minotaur. So to see him halfway transform, confirmed it for him. He had been tricked by Azazel, maybe even by the fates, and had been brought to a den of monsters.
