The Fallen King: Chapter One

The Chapter
Alex ran. He couldn't think of anything else to do. The thing chasing him was just to strong. He racked his brain, trying to think of anything that could help him. Instinctively, he tapped the twelve on his watch and it extended into a scythe. He swung it at the creature. It had a seal like body and fish features as well. But what he saw was not one, but five of the creatures.

A name flickered into his head- Telekhines. Then a plan formed. He leaped up, catching a crevice and swung up onto the power lines. He focused on the Telekhines, slowing down time and allowing him to escape, but not without turning his scythe back into a wristwatch.

He couldn't make himself kill them, though he didn't know why. All that he knew was that his name was Alex Swift, he had crazy powers and he had to get to some camp before monsters got him. Running out of the alleyway, he sprinted out of the streets, and looked for a place named Delphi Strawberry Service. Eventually, he found it and ran up to the pine tree, only to suddenly collapse and plummet down to the inner valley.

He awoke in a small bed, with people watching over him. Some of them he vaguely recognised, but he didn't know where from. There were whispers like

"Is it really him?"

"It can't be"

"No, this can't be true"

Most of them looked at me in fear or distrust, but some just looked confused. However, something made my head burst. It was my old mentor- Chiron.
