The Godslingers 5: Chapter 33

Jack POV

I was in the middle of training when golden dust rose from the ground and made monsters, quite the opposite of what usually happens. Chills ran down my spine and the sky went dark. Then, walking as if he had all the time in the world, was a man, about 6 feet tall with bronze skin except his left arm which was red and translucent, longish brown hair and eyes a dark brown. He wore sleeveless leather armor and a leather glove on his right hand, where he held a saw-like black sword. The monsters bowed to him and he waved his hand lazily. They began to attack. "Who are you?" I asked.

"I am TARTAROS! Spirit of the UNDERWORLD! I was ruler of it before Hades OR Kronos! The gods and titans have, for eons, dumped their problems on me! Even my own brethren, the Protenegoi, dump their problem's on me! So I will destroy the gods, starting with their mortal offspring." He yelled.

I then blasted Tartaros with magic. He put out his ruby left arm and the blast was drained into it. The ruby had the blue energy inside it for a minute, then it launched back out. I drained it back into my mace. Then Andrew, who was busy killing an empousa and din't see Tartaros's redirection powers, charged Tartaros. Andrew was in Zeus blessing, and using all his power. He struck Tartaros, who blocked it with his arm. They went like this for a while, Andrew slicing or blasting full power and Tartaros arm blocking. I couldn't stop them. Then, when Andrew looked exhausted, Tartaros unleashed all the energy he had been holding in. Waves of gold decimated the camp, killing more demigods then I could count. Most of the cabins were destroyed. I gasped. All of the monsters were fine. I ripped out the ruby arm. I destroyed it with magic. A bronze arm grew and took the ruby one's place. I couldn't destroy any monsters as long as Tartaros was here. Maybe...

I swung my mace. In sheer luck, I hit the android's Achilles heel. The body shattered, leaving a wisp of green smoke and a chill in the air saying "I'll be back..."

Olaf and Taylor stood behind him. "We have more plans. Much MORE!" Taylor shouted as they shadow traveled away.

Peace...for now.
