Alex and The Unwanteds

Part 18

Alex tried spawn another spear to throw at him, but could barely mode. He watched as the blond man would stab them in the gut or in the neck killing them.

He then saw Sky who was almost next. Alex growled in frustration for he could barely move and that could cost him Sky's life. He didn't want anyone else to die.

He spawned a spear which he saw slowly form in his hands. The man was now two people away from Sky. Alex bit his tongue and slowly got in to throwing position and threw it. The spear slowly moved towards the man who saw it coming.

He just grabbed the spear but quickly dropped it for his hand felt like it was gonna melt off. He was surprise to feel pain for his skin was cursed by a power making him unable to be harmed by anything.

The blond man just continued cutting people up. Alex saw arrows fly past his head but were slowed down once in the field.

Alex's eyes widened as he saw the man put the sword on Sky's throat. Everything seems slower than the man's power. Alex watched helplessly as he shoved the sword through her neck.

Alex heart skip a beat and his eyes watered. He fell to his knees in slow motion. He was confuse. Should he die as well? Then he saw the man's feet pop into his view.

Alex then flared with anger, he shouldn't be like this, he should be living and avenging her. Alex started to shake and felt the pain in the back again.

He was gonna lose control. Alex didn't care though, he had to try to live. He needed to control his power. If not, he would be lost in this world powerless.

Alex wings grew and then sudden power appeared out of nowhere. It shattered the slow motion thing and the dead bodies dropped while the others backed away.

Alex got up and looked at the man as he was shocked to see this but regained his composure.

Alex's body became on fire as he took a quick step towards him and punched in the nose. There was a loud crack but the man looked perfectly fine.

All of a sudden Alex's hand hurted and his hand felt like it broke. Alex then spawned a sword and started to stab him, but each broke. Alex's anger soared as he kept spawning swords trying to stab each part of the body. Alex dodge most of his attacks, but the ones that touched him made him dizzy.

Smoke started to appear as Alex was moving very quickly. Alex tried everything, to trying to burn him with fire to stab him with every weapon he could think of.

Alex growled as nothing seemed to work but then a sword popped into his view but Alex was too slow to dodge it and stabbed him in the gut.

Alex staggered and then a punch came out of nowhere and he crashed into a tree.

The man looked at the boy who was starting to stand up. Blood dripped from his mouth. Alex eyes were trained on the man as he got up. Alex grunted when he pulled the sword out of his gut but it disappeared and reappeared in his hand.

Alex took a step forward but fell to one knee. He tried to get using a spear and he knew he was going to pass out. Alex used his right hand and threw a spear at him before his eyes rolled above his head and passed out.

Everyone froze and watched as the blond haired man laughed and said, "I like him. I'll leave for now and attack another precious place of your guys's. But it won't be me but Kronos who does this. He'll make sure you all rot and die. Percy I'll especially make sure you die." said the man before turning around and walked from the way he came.

The campers quickly ran around helping the injured back into camp to heal. Alex was quickly picked up and taken back. The dead were later then carefully picked up and taken to a place so they can give the dead away.

Alex woke up a few days later and got up. He looked around to see that he was in the same room from when he woke up a few days earlier. He then remembered all what happened and put his face in hands and cried quietly few an hour before he was dry.

Alex looked himself in the mirror and saw himself in a orange shirt but wore the same pants as before. Everything about him now seemed lazy. He has officially lost everything he cared about.

Alex sighed and sat down crossed legged. He ruffled his hand through his hair and knew that he needed something to protect if he wanted to continue living in this world with meaning.

He set all things aside and walked out of the house and looked around. Noticing it was dark, he saw fire being lit in the water. Alex walked towards the beach and saw everyone their. Some cried as the ships burned.

Alex then realized that they were burning the deceased. Alex sighed and watched as the fire burned. Alex couldn't take all the crying and walked away from the ships and to the forest. Alex walked towards the spot where he met Hestia and sat on the same spot he sat.

Alex grabbed a few nearby branches and made a little pyramid for the fire. He then lit the wood up and watched as it started to build up. Alex then felt a bit more relaxed and laid down. He stared at the stars and closed his eyes wishing for everything to turn back to normal.

Alex woke up as usual dreaming about falling and getting stabbed. Alex immediately put his two fingers to his nose clogging the blood. Alex opened his eyes and looked at the fire and saw it still on.

He snapped his fingers and it disappeared. Alex didn't realize the small girl until his eyes laid on hers. Immediately he said, "Lady Hestia."

She sighed and said, "Don't call me lady Hestia. Just Hestia."

Alex looked at the ground and after a few minutes of silence he asked, "How and why did you give me your powers?"

Hestia smiled sadly at him and said, "Well to share my powers, I would have to make someone my champion which is what i did with you. Your my first champion. I made you my champion because i could feel something really nice coming from you and I thought that you were worth sharing my powers with."

Alex looked up and said, "I think you're mistaken. I'm not good. I'm filled with something evil which i can't control most times and when i can't, something bad might happened to the people around me."

Hestia smiled sadly at him and said, "That is one reason why i share my power with you is to help you guide through the dark times and others as well. You will be the light to guide everyone through dark times. You will need to shine brightly when others can't."

Alex looked down and said, "What if i can't?"

"You will." Hestia said with determination. Alex sighed and nodded. After a few minutes Alex looked her in the eye and said with full of determination, "I would do my best to make sure nothing happens to my allies and to make sure i protect you as well if i need to."

Hestia stood and nodded in approval and said, "If you need anything, just put some food in the fire and pray. Also don't look at me when i disappear. I will kill, so look away with your eyes closed."

Alex closed his eyes and looked away and felt the heat and everything was white even though it was dark out. Once the light was gone, Alex poked the fire with a stick and then eventually closed his eyes.

Alex woke up and felt no blood this time. His back ached but he got up and stopped the fire. Alex remembered when fighting the guy who killed Sky, that he made a different weapon then a spear.

Alex stopped walking and looked at his hands. He thought of a spear and it immediately appeared. Alex then thought of a sword and it also appeared as quick. Alex was confused for he was told that they could only make weapons that they were assigned.

Alex liked spears and all but he prefered daggers and bows.

He then tried making daggers which both were summoned perfectly and he did the same with a bow.

He thought of quick ways for arrows. He raised his left arm which held the bow, and pulled the string back using his right.
