Alex and The Unwanteds

Part 22

then said, "Your reward for defeating Kronos will be immortality. Any objections."

None of their hands went up but Alex then said, "I object, I don't want to be immortal."

All the gods looked at him with a weird expression.

"That's the third today." said a blond women which looked like Annabeth. Probably her mother, Alex had thought.

Zeus sighed and said, "Then if you don't want to be immortal, I'll give you anything as long as it's in my power."

Alex thought for a few seconds and said, "I don't really want anything right now. I'll ask you for something later."

Zeus looked like he took a double take, "Do you not want anything?"

"We'll i do want a few things but i wouldn't waste a wish which could pretty much grant me anything." Alex responded.

Everyone was quite as he bowed and then bowed again but to Hestia and walked out. Alex then heard them speaking in raised voices and he smiled. Alex then walked back to his room where he was before and looked around looking to see if he left anything.

Seeing nothing he left the room and flew back to camp which then, they celebrated their victory for a few days.

9 Months Later

Alex and Percy tiredly, ran across the hill. They then saw a bunch of houses coming into view. Alex who had was help Percy stand, told Percy that he was gonna roll him down the hill and he will try to slow them down and for him to get some help.

Percy nodded and then he was pushed down the hill. Alex then turned around and took out his daggers. He threw them at the two snake like women. They both dodged and then one tried slashing him with his claws.

Alex quickly dodged and sliced her gut open and then suddenly exploded to gold dust. Alex then felt a slice to his back. Alex then turned and tackled her. They both rolled down the hill. Once at the bottom, Alex then stabbed the spot where her heart was to be.

She growled and then turned to gold dust. Alex panted heavily and pain came all around his body. He wasn't able to heal himself for almost every day, a monster came after them. Alex then heard heavy footsteps.

Alex turned his head and saw the monster. It was tall. It had a horn, the other horn missing. Its muscular body was full of muscles. Alex got up and limped towards the houses where he saw Percy go.

Alex looked back to see the monster running towards him with his head down. Alex then jumped out of the way of the monster but was grazed by its horn. Alex quickly got up and then was grabbed into a house.

Alex then turned quickly to see Percy sitting on the floor while to guys in armor stood behind him. One had a female figure while the other seemed to be a male.

"What now?" Alex asked as he panted.

Percy and Alex looked at the two soldiers and waited for their answer. They two looked at each other and the male said, "Follow me. We'll try to get you two a place."

Alex and Percy nodded. Their was loud pounding on the door and so the four hurriedly walked from the back door. The four ran towards a tunnel. Alex then heard wood breaking and Percy and Alex looked back.

The large monster looked around and laid its eyes on them. His eyes narrowed and charged after them. Percy shouted to hurry.

Alex made a bow and spammed arrows at it, each hitting its target. The monster slowed down a bit which helped. Once in the tunnel, the went through a large hole in the wall and ran in darkness. The monster could be heard for his heavy footstep echoed in the space.

The ran to the light. The girl shouted something in another language. Then they were in the light. Alex and Percy followed them and saw a river. Across from it, was a large city. Other soldiers ran towards them and saw the big monster. A few soldiers ran toward it with swords. Alex stopped and watched as a soldier was grabbed by the waist while another was grabbed by the head.

Alex eyes widened and felt some pain on his back. The wings grew out pushing people around him away and he used the wings to push him towards the monster.

Alex's arms then came on fire and he grabbed the monster on the throat. The monster then dropped the two soldiers and tried to touch Alex but he was covered in fire. The fire was melting its body. It roared before a spears of water went through its gut.

Alex then landed and the fire around his disappeared. Everyone was silent for the two newcomers had powers that were terrifying.

For one was able to control water while the other could control fire and had wings. A few hours later, Alex and Percy had learned the two people who helped Alex and Percy. Their names were Hazel and Frank.

Hazel was a bit dark skinned, had curly hair and also had gold eye colors, which were really faint. She was a bit small for her height was 5,3.

Frank was a bit taller than all three of them for he was 6,3. He was light skinned. He also has brown eyes.

Frank and Hazel begged for the two to join their squad. It was the worst but if they wanted to stay, they were gonna need to serve. Alex and Percy both joined their squad which they need to go to their leader. He was a middle aged old man who always seemed drunk.

He gave the instructions for Hazel and Frank to help which they gladly accepted. Alex and Percy followed the two into a building which had multiple floors. They walked to the second floor and Frank showed them where they were to sleep. They had their own rooms and their clothes should be on the bed. Frank squeezed his nose and said, "You guys need a shower."

Alex walked in and quickly shut the door. He walked to the shower and took a shower. A few minutes later, he was ready. He found the clothes on the bed and put on the purple t shirt with jeans.

Alex then walked out and saw Frank talking with Hazel about some things. Alex walked over and asked, "Is Percy still in his room?"

Frank answered saying, "Ya, he hasn't came out yet."

Alex nodded and walked to his door and was about to knock when Percy opened his door.

"Did I take long?" Percy asked.

"No, come on." Alex said. They walked back outside and walked to their pavalon and sat where their squad was. Alex and Percy listened as it seemed that each squad was gonna go against each other to see was was the strongest squad. Their squad always lost for they weren't really good fighters and lacked people.

Their group name was Zeta and people would always make fun of their group. Percy seemed a bit pissed because of this but Alex didn't care. Alex said to Percy when he was a bit calmed down saying, "We'll just beat them down so hard, that they would have to look at us in a new way. We'll make sure that they don't underestimate us. Make sure to get a good look on their faces and when you see them on the field, make sure to knock them so hard, they won't be able to see straight again."

Alex then took a bite of his steak. He felt people's eyes on them and turned his head to see the table quiet and then roared with cheers. Alex felt something wrong just eating the steak and not doing something. Alex had a small headache trying to remember. Something popped back into memory. A small girl who clapped her hands and a fire appeared.

The memory came and left. He was confused but shook it off.

A few hours later, Alex was given a choice to wear armor and was get a choice of his weapon. Alex rejected both of the offers. Armor slowed him down and he already had the weapon situation fixed.

Alex and the legion listened carefully for they were doing siege: Siege is very similar to. One team defends a fortress while another team attempts to breach the fort and seize the banners of the opposing team. The defending team is given the fort along with an arsenal of weapons, including water cannons, scorpion ballistae, and iron portcullis, while the attacking team gets the war elephant.
