The Demigod Host
Chapter 1 prolog: Awakening of the Host
It was a late night in New York City, about 11:15 P.M where we find ourselves watching a young man in his small house watching America Ninja Warrior on his TV while sitting on his couch. The young man has smooth alabaster skin, icy blue eyes that are a bit sharp, raven black straight hair that covers his left eye and stops just under his ears. His eye lashes are defined giving him a slightly feminine look, his body is muscular but lean showing that he was built more for speed rather than power though this also gave him a feminine touch making him look like a pretty boy; we can see this clearly because he's not wearing a shirt. His face wasn't fully shown because he's wearing a black mask that covered his nose down to his neck. In fact the only pair of clothes he wore right now was his mask, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of socks. This young man's name is Vincent Brooks, a seventeen year old boy that lived on his own.
I know you're wondering why he lives on his own and the reason for that is his father died a year ago and he can't remember ever meeting his mother, though he does have a fuzzy image of her in his head from when he was three. As of right now he has two women who claim to work with his mother acting as his legal guardians until he's eighteen. His dad used to always tell him that his mother loved him dearly but due to what she does and who she works with she couldn't be around, the women acting as his guardians told him the same thing and that it was for his protection that she stayed away. He accepted this though he still wishes that he had more than a blurry image in his head; the only thing he really knew about her was that for some reason she would like for him to know Greek Mythology. Right now he knew more about Greek Mythology than anyone his age should, he found that he felt really bad for the Goddess Hera since her husband cheats on her every chance he gets. Vincent didn't really like womanizers to start with but reading the things Hera's been through really pissed him off for some reason.
It was 11:45 P.M when Vincent started to feel the ground rumbling; he thought nothing off it at first since it was New York and most likely just a heavy truck driving by but the rumbling got worse and as it got worse he started to hear what seemed to be heavy footsteps. He finally got up and went to the door to see what was going on but once he reached the door the rumbling reached its peak and the thumping of footsteps were like drums in his ears. As soon as his hand touched the door knob the door was smashed apart and he was sent flying across the room until he slammed into a wall and slid down to the floor. Vincent hadn't felt this sore since that time he missed a jump while free running and hit his ribs on a brick wall. When he looked up his vision was blurry but he could make out a giant figure standing over him in a menacing way.
Once his vision cleared he saw that the figure had the lower body of a bull, the torso and arms of a super buff man, and the head of a bull complete with horns and a nose ring. His mind went into overdrive at what he was seeing. "That's a fucking Minotaur, how the fuck is that thing here, how the fuck is that thing real!?" Vincent screamed in his head. The Minotaur reached down for him but he managed to roll to the side, get up, and run around the Minotaur. Thanks to the house being small the Minotaur had trouble moving around.
"No, ThEy HaVe fOunD YoU too SoON!" said a very dark voice in Vincent's head. This cause Vincent to look around for the source of the voice but all he was able to see was his ruined place and the monster. So caught up in finding the voice he wasn't able to dodge the back hand that came from the Minotaur.
Vincent crashed through a wall this time and rolled into the kitchen. It was now official, he was in more pain then he had ever been in his whole life. "Get uP, YOu mUSt LIvE , OnLy TWO moRE MinUtES UnTiL IT iS TiME!" said the dark voice.
Vincent was really freaking out now; between the monster trying to kill him, the incredible amount of pain he was in, and now this dark voice he kept hearing he was sure he was losing his mind. "How can this get any worse?" Vincent asked himself out loud. That was when the Minotaur grabbed him by the neck with its big meaty hand and held him up in the air. It reared its fist back ready to end him until it became distracted when the grandfather clock started to ring when it struck twelve. Suddenly Vincent's eyes started to glow bright yellow and two pitch black serpents with yellow eyes came out of Vincent's back and started to attack the Minotaur. "FINALLY ThE WOrlD ShaLL onCE AgaIN FeaR THE DARKNESS!" screamed the voice in sheer dark joy. The right serpent had razor sharp teeth and was using them to rip huge chunks of meat off the Minotaur. The left serpent didn't have teeth but strong rock like jaws while having a large under bite that it was using to crush the Minotaur's bones and joints in its legs and arms so it couldn't get away.
It wasn't long before the Minotaur was released from its torture as it finally turned into golden dust. Once that happened the serpents turned to Vincent and hissed at him until he heard the voice again. "YOu WiLl bE My GReatEst HosT yEt.NoT EVeN tHe LiGhT wiLL StaND iN oUr WaY!" said the voice in a self-satisfied tone. The serpents then retracted back into Vincent, his eyes returned to normal, and he fell to the floor and laid there as his world was consumed by the darkness. Only after Vincent was fully unconscious did two women run into the house and find him knocked out on the kitchen floor.
"Damnit, we weren't fast enough to reach him before the monster did, Lady Hera isn't going to be happy about this Karen." said the first woman.
Karen was a beautiful woman standing at 5'5 with short black hair, tan skin, and blue eyes. She was wearing a long sleeve red shirt, and blue skinny jeans, and a pair of black running shoes. "I know Sonya but at least he's alive, come on let's get him to the hospital so he can heal up then we can call Lady Hera and ask her what she wants us to do next." said Karen.
Sonya was also a beautiful woman though she was the taller of the two standing at 5'8 with caramel colored skin, deep brown eyes, and long wavy brown hair that reached the center of her back. She wore a white shirt with short sleeves, black jeans, and black sneakers. Sonya quickly agreed with Karen and they both moved closer to Vincent in order to move but were interrupted by another voice.
"Oi Ladies, don't move the monkey, the Darkness isn't done fixing him up yet!" said the voice. Sonya and Karen turned to where the voice came from and saw that it came from a two foot tall imp with obsidian black skin, glowing yellow eyes, razor sharp teeth, pointed ears, and sharp claws on its hands. For clothes all it had was a sleeveless shirt designed to look like the British flag and an old timey piolet's cap. The girls were worried right away as they knew what this creature was and knew that if it was here then the Darkness was here as well. They then took another look at Vincent and finally notice that he did have some dark energy flowing around him that seemed to be healing him.
"Oh Gods this isn't good, there hasn't been a Darkness host in over two hundred years so why now? Why him?" asked Sonya with a bit of panic in her voice.
"Answer her questions Darkling!" Karen said with an edge to her voice though the Darkling just seemed to grin at her before it disappeared in a puff of smoke and reappeared by Vincent.
"If you must know the Darkness has had other host in the last two hundred years, the problem is that they all died before its power could awaken.Do you really think the Darkness would allow the world to go without its presence for so long you foolish children?" asked the Darkling in a taunting voice. Sonya and Karen wanted to be angry but knew that the Darkling was right, the Darkness was as old as time itself maybe even older and was feared by all no matter if it was a God, Titan, or even a Primordial. The only being that didn't fear the Darkness was Chaos since she too was just as old and just as powerful as the Darkness.
"Sonya call Lady Hera and tell her what's happen and ask her what she wants us to do next." said Karen
"I'm on it." said Sonya as he took out her phone and quickly started to dial Hera's personal number.
OLYMPUS
Hera the Goddess of Family, Motherhood, Women, and Marriage was a drop dead gorgeous woman standing tall at 5'9 with a figure that most mortal women would die, come back to life, and then die again just to have. Her skin was fair with a light tan, she icy blue eyes with defined eyelashes and thin eyebrows, she had full lips with red lipstick on, and her hair reach her waist and was raven black. Her body was amazing with her large and perky DD-cup breasts, slim waist, flat stomach, wide hips, large firm ass, and long legs. She was currently wearing a cream colored dress with gold accents that came down to her ankles, gold bracelets on her wrists, a gold necklace around her neck, a gold tiara in her hair, and gold sandals on her feet.
Hera was currently in her garden watering her flowers while thinking about the only child she had outside of her marriage to Zeus. She could help but shake her head at even the thought of her marriage, more like prison in her mind. Zeus always cheated on her even though she did her best to make sure he was happy he always went to the human world and had affairs. She had long since stopped blaming the women and children for Zeus's unfaithfulness but it still hurt her each time she found out he had an affair. One of her domains was marriage and he was pretty much spitting on it and telling her to be okay with it. Her unhappiness was the reason more and more marriages were ending in divorce, women were being undervalued, and if it wasn't for her sister Hestia sharing the domain of family with her more families would be broken up.
All of that changed slightly though when she decided to create a mortal aspect to live in the human world for a few years and had her son Vincent Brooks. She was fill with unheard of amounts of happiness as she held her son in her arms, he was the perfect combination of her and his father. She raised her son for three years alongside his father like a true family until Zeus made her come back to Olympus; this tore her apart inside as he had done it right as her son was learning to have full conversations, she still remembered how her heart sored when he first called her Mama. In her mind Zeus had stolen her away from her son and she just couldn't forgive him for that. She had two of her hand maidens named Sonya and Karen keep an eye on her son and inform her of everything that went on with him, though she actually cried for a bit when she found out the father of her son had died. Her mortal aspect had actually married the man, Nathan Brooks, and was extremely happy with him, the fact that he was now gone had hit her hard.
It was then that her personal phone started to ring so she reached into the side pocket on her dress since she wasn't going to listen to Aphrodite and keep her phone in her breasts. "Hello you've reached Hera." Hera said into the phone.
"[Hello Lady Hera its Sonya, I'm calling to say that we have a problem.]" said Sonya.
"What problem Sonya? What' going on?" asked Hera with some worry in her voice.
"[A monster found him my Lady, it completely destroyed the house and Vincent is hurt.]" said Sonya.
"Oh Chaos my baby, is he alright? Where are you? What monster dared lay their hands on my baby!?" Hera said in worry before ending in rage with her heart thumping against her chest in both rage and worry.
"[He's fine my Lady, a little banged up but fine. We're still at his house and from the footprints we can safely say it was the Minotaur. But that's not all I have to tell you, the Darkling is here my Lady, Vincent has become the new host for the Darkness.]" said Sonya.
Hera froze hearing this and her heart dropped into her stomach. Her baby was the host of the Darkness; this couldn't be happening it just couldn't be happening. His life was already in danger just because he was a demigod though that doubled because he was her demigod, but now he was in even more danger because he was the host of the Darkness. Her mind was already racing thinking of ways to keep her baby safe from anything that might harm him, she didn't care if Chaos herself came down to earth and tried to harm her baby, she would protect him.
"[Lady Hera, Lady Hear are you still there? Look if you want, Karen and I are demigods and you can send Athena and Ares to-.]" Sonya didn't get to finish as Hera interrupted her.
"IF YOU FINISH THAT SENTENCE I WILL SEND YOU AND KAREN TO THE DEEPEST DARKEST PART OF TARTARUS WITH MY BARE HANDS!" yelled Hera as she was trying to keep her power under control so the other Gods didn't become aware. Hera knew it took the combined power of two demigods and two Gods in order to kill a host of the Darkness without fear of the Darkness bringing its host back to life, but she didn't care she just knew that if anybody could control the Darkness it was her baby.
Sonya was scared shitless and Karen was glaring at her for even getting them into this situation, what idiot asks the Goddess of Motherhood to kill her child? Everything was silent as the girls were too scared to speak and Hera was trying to calm down.
"Sonya I'm sorry for yelling at you but never suggest something like that to me again. As of right now I want you to wait until he's healed then take him somewhere safe. Once he wakes up you are to explain things to him without revealing who I am then send him to the camp, after that both of you return to Olympus as I feel I will need your support soon enough." said Hera while taking deep breaths.
"[As you wish Lady Hera.]" said Sonya before she hung up the phone.
Hera hung up her phone as well before going back to watering her flowers while also thinking of ways to keep her baby safe.
BACK ON EARTH
Sonya let out a huge sigh after hanging up the phone while Karen was still glaring at her. She was about to say something until the Darkling started laughing.
"HAHAHA, oh that didn't sound good at all, but then again what can you expect from trying to kill the boss lady's little monkey HAHAHA!" laughed the Darkling as even he couldn't believe Sonya had tried that.
"As much as I hate to agree with him, he's right Sonya, Lady Hera loves Vincent dearly and that is why she sent us to watch over him; you asking her that had to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard." said Karen.
"Shut up! Look I get it, it was a stupid thing to say to a mother that just learned that her child was attacked but I panicked; I mean come on the hosts of the Darkness have always caused a lot of problems!" Sonya said in her defense.
"Whatever Sonya, let's just do what our Lady asked of us and get him somewhere safe." said Karen as she moved to pick up Vincent.
The Darkling watched as they lifted the Darkness's new monkey and carried him off. "Hmm this monkey actually seems interesting maybe I'll call him something other than Monkey. I know I'll call him Boss Monkey HAHAHAHAHA!" laughed the Darkling.
