Rise of the Demigod (A Writing Competition)

Demigod #13 - Fox Crawley (maffviana)

Name: Fox Crawley

Age: 13

Godly parent: Erebus, god of darkess and shadow

Gender: male

Appearence: Shortblack hair, very pale skin, purple eyes. He is a bit short when compared to other people.

Traits: He is quiet, pessimist, very nervous. He always tries to keep calm in danger situiations (which he never actually lived). He's lonely, a bit nerd. Spends lots of time reading books in a corner of his cabin or in the forest (not a great idea).

Weapon of choice: A really long spear with a wavu blade on one side and a grey gem on the other, its name is Thanásima, which means "deadly".

Background info: He lived with his mother, who was a primary school teacher. He asked many times who was his father but his mother had always answered she would answer later.

Fox was sent to some kind of "prision" for kids by stealing things from people's houses at night. His mother decided to put him in a school for problematic teenagers when he was 11. In that school, he found a strange teacher who seemed to be very interested in him.

He discovered he was a demigod, son of Apollo, who explained him everything about Demigods and promissed to take her to Camp Half-Blood. One night, he was woken by the noise of a serpent. His teacher told him not to look back and took him to a classroom, where he gave Fox a spear (his spear). The teacher tried to fight the thing that was making the snake sound with a random stick he had found on the floor. By the end of the fight, Fox looked at the creature, who was already dead. His teacher explained him it was a "creaste", a deadly serpent with horns (I made research).

During the fight, his teacher had been injured and ended up dying near Camp Half-Blood.
