The Son of Kratos

Chapter 2

Once again I don't own PJO or God of War 

"And here is the Hermes cabin, where you will stay until you're claimed," explained James as he finished giving Atreus the tour. Atreus wasn't used to the hospitality that they showed him and he was uncomfortable. Zoe took notice of this, "hey. I know it can take some getting used to. If you need anything, find me or my brothers." They smiled at each other, while Silena smirked from a far. In the distance, they heard a conch horn, signaling it was time to eat. James led Atreus to the Hermes table, where he looked around at everyone. Chiron, who Atreus knew led the camp, walked to the front. "Campers! It is time for capture the flag." The entire camp cheered. "The Hermes, Hephaestus, Athena, Poseidon and Zeus cabins will be a team. Alright get ready!" James and the cabin rushed forward dragging Atreus behind them.

Atreus slowly walked through the woods in the armor given to him, his fear of what unknown things watched him was present on his face. The Ares cabin stalked after him planning to beat him up in front of everyone. They jumped out, startling Atreus as they charged at him. They got him to the ground and mercilessly kicked and punched him. The camp went to find them once the game was over but stopped and watched in surprise as a red glow formed around Atreus. He heard a deep voice in his head, "Atreus. Rise and fight with the strength you have. Fight!" A loud, rage filled battle cry came from Atreus as he pushed the Ares cabin away from him.

Atreus stood, glowing blood red and breathing heavily, and looked at his atttackers. One charged at him, only to be punched in the face and knocked out. Chiron gasped as he recognized what was happening. "No. It's impossible. Spartan Rage." Annabeth's eyes widened because she knows what it was but not how Atreus had it. Atreus proceeded to knocked the entire Ares cabin out, yelling once again. Then the red glow became larger. A symbol appeared above his head. Two blades with chains attached to the handles. "All Hail Atreus, Son of Kratos, God of War, Fire, Frost, Revenge, Bloodlust and Anger. The Killer of Gods." Everyone bowed but most didn't know who Kratos was. A bright light appeared, forcing everyone to close their eyes. When they opened them, they were on Olympus. All the Olympians except Athena were glaring at Atreus. "Atreus! Because of your father's past actions you will be killed," bellowed Zeus. Cries of how it is unfair came from the campers. "Enough! The Olympians will vote on it. Who thinks he should be spared?" To the campers' surprise, Athena, Hestia, Aphrodite, Hades, Artemis, Ares, Hera and Poseidon raised their hand. "Well, I'm the King of the Gods so I vote he dies." A blood red glow appears, then disappears. In it's place, a 6'8", very muscular bald, bearded man with ash white skin and red tattoos going from his face, down his back, up his chest and around his shoulder. He had a pauldron on his left shoulder, a Dane axe on his back and chains on his forearms. "You will not harm my son Zeus," yelled the man in the deepest voice they ever heard.

"You dare show your face here after what you did, Kratos." "Father be nice," Athena yelled at Zeus. She sat up from her throne, shrunk to her mortal form but was wearing a dress and walked over to Kratos. "Hello Kratos, it has been a long time," she said with a smile. "Hello Athena. For you it has been. But you and my father haunted my mind for centuries. I am sorry for what I did to you." Then Athena shocked everyone there by hugging the massive man. He hugged back and Athena said, "i was sorry to hear of Faye's death. You deserved happiness after what we did to you. But I'm glad you found it with the daughter of Thor. How is your son?" "Thank you. Loki has been doing well but is still his trickster self." Zeus interrupted the reunion, "excuse me? Don't you have anything to say to us?" "No, I do not regret my actions, father. The gods took everything from me. I am not here to fight with you. I am here to claim my son." Kratos walked to Atreus, kneeled down and touched his forehead. His eyes glowed and a red light appeared on him. When it went away, Atreus had the same tattoos as Kratos. He turned to the campers and they gasped. His eyes had changed. His eyes were a golden yellow, with blood red around his pupils, flecks of fiery orange and icy blue, surrounded by a thin circle of electric blue and glowed slightly. Atreus turned to his father, who took part of a chain and cut it off. He wrapped it around each of Atreus' forearms, "they will listen to you. They will be your weapon until you are worthy of the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan Axe. I leave these to you but you must prove yourself. You must be better than me." Zeus spoke up, "that won't be hard. You killed almost all the gods in this room and more. Your children are just like you. You will never change. You are a monster." "You know nothing father. I have changed. Show the campers. I have nothing to hide." "Flash all campers under fourteen back to camp," Chiron said while looking down. Apollo did that as Zeus called Iris in to show them his past.
