Chapitre 1: Chapter 1
Waking up with a mind splitting headache is never pleasant even worse the constant honking and fog of background noise. Opening my eyes I looked around.... and its a dirty alleyway well lets hope this is still in the US. Standing up the 'Headache' became a migraine and those doesn't come with hallucinations.
"Ugh why does my headache taste purple" I mumbled still mired in the foggy visions that were coming without stop making no sense in the order they were in. Finally they seemed to come to a close and my mind started to slow down and make sense of what I saw and felt.
"I will never mentally recover from this" was my first thought as the first memory to clear up was a lesson from Snape of all people, teaching potions at Hogwarts only for one of Fred or George's pranks to explode the Hair Recovery potion all over professor Snape's head which bloomed into a nasty greasy mop that grew like Devils Snare all over the students in the room invading there mouths when we attempted to scream.
"Incendio incendio... INCENDIO!" Came a scream and I realized it came from me as fire exploded from my empty hand but the fire seemed almost alive in how hell driven it was in devouring the hair surrounding me without burning me or my tablemate. But with Snape gaining control with a face of apoplectic rage started cutting and vanishing the hair with a handful of swipes the memory faded.
"So magic is less driven upon a wand and more driven on the total concentration of my desire of the effect huh." I mumbled. Concentrating on feeling the manic calling of magic in the memory I felt my body warm as sort of pressure grew within me, throwing my hand forward "Phish" a loud blast of flames were sent of my hand like a condensed flamethrower.
Cutting off the flame I didn't even feel tired just exhilarated that I just accomplished my childhood dreams of magic. Literally skipping out of the alleyway with a grin I paused. "Fuck that's the Empire State Building why am I not in London I have Harry Potter magic." I groaned holding my face thinking if I could get a magical attention to get me to Britain so I can exploit the hell out of the world, sweet sweet immortality here I come. Giggling at my future plans of world domination without any care of my surroundings I was cut off "GROWL!!" The growl was so loud and deep its vibrations felt like hugging a chainsaw against my chest and just as dangerous.
"There's something behind me isn't there" I cried mentally turning slowly to look back into the alley to see a large dog slowly padding over, but even worse the dog was huge just standing on its four legs it was taller than the alley dumpsters so it was just over two meters tall.
"Nope" Seeing the height difference between the dog and the surrounding objects I realized either I was de-aged or whatever capricious entity sent me here made super short and seeing as I didn't have a the scar on hand after my grabbing a knife in soapy water wrong, I realized was de-aged, so there was no way in hell my ten year old body could kick a bear sized dog into running away.
Turning on dime I screamed "Nigerundayo!" Using the patented Joe-Star family ultimate technique as the massive Hound paused in seeming amazement at my stupidity before snarling in rage realizing I was getting a head start. Sprinting out of the alleyway it skidded on the pavement on the exit and continued to bound after me quickly gaining me.
The rapid thumps of its feet chasing me that seemed to shake my perception and the loud breath that seemed to shut out all other sounds resounded in my mind and I realized I was panicking and climbing onto a parked garbage truck while the massive hound looking around desperately all I could focus on was the Empire State Building that seemed larger than life. "Ahhh!" I screamed as the monster dog grabbed one of the front tires with its mouth and started yanking on it lifting the truck and dragging it
"Boom!" The tire popped in the dogs mouth Rawwwr!!!" It roared with pure fury at the surprise before ramming the trucks side sending me off the edge of the other side. "That dog is going to kill me." I realized, painfully aware as I neared the ground that the dog only had to run around the truck to get me and looking at the Empire State Building I wished with all my might I was there and closed my eyes awaiting the feeling of teeth to tear me apart.
"POOMF. Ugh my back" I landed hard on the ground rolling over onto my side so get off the ache.
"Hey kid you alright?" I looked around franticly and saw a bunch of people including some kids with a man in a wheel chair seemingly chaperoning them watching me warily. Noticing the man who called out to me was the security guard who was resting his hand on what seemed to be a can of pepper spray I quickly responded.
"Yes I'm perfectly fine thank you, sorry if I was in the way, I will be leaving goodbye." I rushed out before powerwalking down the street in the opposite way I felt the dog monster was in.
After putting some distance between myself and the people who may or may not be mind wiped or something similar in the future I sat on a bus stop bench and just relaxed "hahaha I'm alive!" I laughed out feeling the rush of escaping my fate of being mauled by the dog.
Leaning into the back of the bench I looked up into the sky. "So I'm in a world with large monsters running around and people either don't notice or they're subconsciously ignoring the supernatural around them the only worlds I can vaguely think of that seems to match is Percy Jackson or maybe Buffy, but I'm leaning more towards the first if I meet a hellhound in downtown New York." I thought.
I groaned aloud "If this is Percy Jackson I literally just apparated in front of Olympus's front door that is going to bite me in the ass. Good job Jake Barris you had one job not get an entire pantheon interested in what you are."
Clapping my face to get me back in the moment I ran over my options either A, I could try to get into Camp Half-blood maybe try to impersonate a son of Hecate but I don't have any any Mist manipulation abilities and the magic I have is literally butchered Latin forcing reality around me to bend over so joining the Greeks may be a death sentence.
B I could try to join the Egyptians..... HA no I like not being the meatsuit of a god to posses and take over whenever it pleases.
And lastly C I could join the Romans camp on the plus side it actually is a small Rome with people actually being able to make there life's there and not be hunted by monsters for the rest of there lives, and the gods don't interfere with the camp much at all is the most important.
Cons its entirely militarily driven and even with more magical knowledge slowly flowing into me as I relaxed I know I wouldn't be able to control my fate there not to mention getting from New York to the coast of California.
"Haaaa..." I sniffled feeling depressed and almost crying at what amounted to a number of semi dead ends and I realized that my child hormones where making my more adult controlled emotions feel overwhelmed.
"Are you alright little one?" Came from behind me as a bundle three sets of hands and arms wrapped around my chest and easily lifted me from the bench and into a hug of several motherly women. I froze in fear of being eaten again and I literally melted into the embrace of a woman smelling of Sandalwood when she started petting my head.
"Who are you people" I mumbled being lulled into a stupor by the sheer amounts of naturals scents, it was like walking into a candle store but all the smells are natural and gentle only lulling you into a relaxed state and looked up to see the women around me and was stunned at the beauty the ones hugging me directly was a fair haired blond-haired woman with sky blue eyes of very ample proportions wearing a thin shift that left her back exposed and reached just above the knees, the other two where appeared to be twins sharing they're well endowed shapes with matching brown hair and green eyes.
"We are all Dryads of Central Park and we could feel the loneliness of a powerful abandoned child because of Artemis blessing to keep the park alive in the middle of the city the parts of her child domain has leaked into the blessing so one of us typically help guides lost children back to there family if possible. But you on the other hand your scent was so overwhelming I suppose we all subconsciously came to help." She giggled at the end with the sounds comforting me with the vibrations coming through her chest.
Nodding into the pillows of comfort I was on I realized with a start that with there being Dryads here with the blessing of Artemis basically confirmed that this was the Percy Jackson universe. "So what happens now." I questioned leaning out of what seemed to be the leaders embrace who grudgingly let me escape her embrace with the other two dryads moving to stand beside her.
"Well we would normally get you back to your family but frankly with how powerful your scent is you need to go Camp Half-blood otherwise every single monster within a mile can sense you. Even worse your scent isn't like any god we have noticed before, like a child of the king of the gods will have the smell of Ozone and his domains on them or likewise with a child of Poseidon being the Sea or the Earth. You on the other hand feel like being surrounded by books, and more abstract things its maddening and that is what will drive others to at least check you out."
Feeling even more depressed that I literally was a monster attraction worse than a child of the big three gods a couple traitorous tears escaped my eyes before I was glomped by the matronly women again and I swore I could see there eyes glowing as they looked at me.
"Now we aren't supposed to interfere with the movements of Demigods and frankly I have no idea who and what you are but without a doubt you are an innocent child and within my land thus under my preview Olympus's games be damned." she said with steel in her eyes "My name is Ellesmera Queen of the Dryads" her voice pounded the very earth and air making the world seem to shake. "I am the Daughter of the king of the gods Zeus and the Earth Mother Gaia." with that declaration lighting ripped through the sky from the Empire State Building and the Earth grumbled in seeming agreement. "With my authority I take this boy's blood, this boys true name and his fate onto my own." And with that my hair grew turning from a light brown to a bright sun spun gold and reaching my shoulders.
I could also feel a connection between us and a almost smothering feeling of love like a person wrapping a thick blanket around you tightly and then laying down on you. I choked up and unconsciously screamed "Mom" as I sprinted into her embrace as I was overwhelmed by the connection her divine mind simply making my child mind into mush.
"MY LADY" The woman on the right screamed shocked at what Ellesmera did seemingly without thought. "Why would you adopt him I understand he is powerful and lady Artemis's blessing has been hard on you but you don't even know him yet."
Ellesmera turned on the woman and slowly reached a hand over started petting her head and down her neck gently cooing to her words I couldn't understand probably ancient Greek before firmly grabbing her neck and lifting her off the ground and saying blandly. "I am your Queen even if I take your advice as my handmaiden Bella that doesn't give you the right to dictate what my actions are." She turned to the other twin with a blank look in her eyes "For the last couple hundred years since we were stationed here by Olympus I have quietly withstood Artemis's blessing, no her curse constantly driving me to birth a child with no respite. So Dorea please don't make have to punish you both."
Both of the handmaidens quickly nodded with Ellesmera gently putting down Bella and patting her on the head.
Swallowing my fear at her mood swings I questioned "So I'm taking that I'm your son in a more literal sense from that ritual."
She nodded with a fulfilled smile "Yes my essence is slowly starting to leak into you as though I was your godly parent now you can go to Camp Half-Blood without any problems now even if I'm not exactly a true goddess I still get the respect afforded to the more well known minor gods."
I was torn on how she literally just made me her child without much of a second thought though I just hope she doesn't get her fathers perversions.
"Now I will call Argus as he owes me a favor to come pick you up. He is needed to make sure no monsters even try to eat you on the way to Camp." Ellesmera stated before waving her hand gathering water vapor into a ball and started spraying it in a fine mist from the side making a rainbow. "Oh lady of the rainbows Iris please deliver my message to Argus of Camp Half-Blood." The rainbow glowed brighter becoming almost solid before clearing showing a man covered in eyes sitting on a couch looking back through the rainbow with all his eyes.
Ellesmera knowing Argus doesn't talk launched ahead "Argus I'm calling in my favor I need my son delivered to the camp."
Argus's right eyebrow just raised in confusion seeing that Ellesmera elaborated "His scent is abnormally strong and he has no training so like I said you need to come get him here and yes I know its against the rules but I don't particularly care, daddy wont punish me anyway." She shrugged with Argus twitching and I could see how his hands clenched in frustrations and I was reminded that he is a servant/guardian of Hera seeing a bastard of his mistress's husband flaunting the kings rules because she wont be punished must grate on him.
She waved her hand and the rainbow was blown away. Turning back to me she swept me back into her arms "Argus will be here in a couple hours lets make some food." She said with a gentle smile. The handmaidens left with a bow merging into a tree apiece disappearing from sight, whilst Ellesmera's steps seemed to shrink space as her steps crossed several dozen meters with each step.
We emerged from a thicket and into a large garden with a beautiful table setup almost like Alice In Wonderland.
I couldn't help being cheeky "Lady Alice will we be having a Tea Party?" Seeing the long table covered in different drinks and light snacks I was actually certain it was the case to be honest.
"Yes we are you are welcome to all the food and drink you see." She smiled gently "But I would prefer you to call me Mother now I apologize for my abrupt decision but I will explain the details after we eat let me get to know you better for now."
Nodding I took a seat next to end of table where she sat I settled in for the following questioning.
