First rule of combat, don't charge at your enemy unarmed. Especially when your enemy is a ten foot tall giant storm spirit. Slamming down to the ground, my body ached with pain and misery. Rising up, I wiped my cheek and took a spit.
Max stood there unimpressed, as he smiled. Glancing at him, I frowned. "Well?!" I asked annoyed.
Smiling, he looked at me. "Well, what?" He asked.
"You're just going to stand there aren't you?" I asked annoyed.
Tossing me his golden sword, he pointed at the creature. "Kill him, and then I'll help you. He's not that hard to kill, especially whwn you use that." He pointed at the blade.
Taking a deep breath, I walked up to the storm spirit. I didn't know exactly what it was at the time, but I felt calm. Like everything in the world didn't matter, I just wanted to fight. It was like I had a keen instinct to kill the monster with the sole sword in my hand. Gripping the bladehilt, I slashed at the monster's cheeks.
In a wail of frustration, Icaris cried out. "I see! You are a child of power. You could be the one! The one the gods fear. A child of power will ruin the gods! The child of power will be you! I foresee it! I fore. . ." With a slash at his throat, the venti seized talking. In a slow but steady metamorphisis, the monster vanished into grains of sand until it dessolved to nothing.
Turning with a smile, I gazed at him. "Alright, what now?" I asked.
Max smiled. "Definitely smiple. We goto Camp Half-Blood. Come on, let's get a move on it."
A few blocks away, Max summoned a horse with wings. It was completely brown and held the attitude of a mare, but of course was a stallion of the teens. "What is this Camp Half-Blood. It seems dangerous." I asked.
"It's a place where you can live away from monsters and danger." He said, guiding the Pegasus through the sky. "Half-Blood is another term for Demigod."
"Demigod." I laughed. "Like I'd be a demi-" Before I finished the sentence, I realized it was more-likely. I had the strange powers since I was twelve. I even had nightmares about thing I couldn't explain to anyone ever since I was eight.
Focusing on the horizon, I noticed a tiny village in the distance. The more time passed, the closer we approached. In a sudden gale of winds, we arrived on a hill top, as the pegasus landed. Hopping off I smiled. "What's this?"
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood." Max announced. "I'll get someone to show you around, before I let you go." He said with a smile.

Notes
Xero arrives at Camp Half-Blood.Max is very quick to thoughing you in the deep end.
What's the pegasus name? Tempest. Male. He is stubborn and cocky. Max also understands him and he hears the voice, since it does have wings and can fly.
Please remember, this story is a better version of House of Heroes the beginning. I will not complete that one and it will be erased soon. Please comment, rate and subscribe. The cycle is Xero, Thalia and Max.
Nice!
