Three Days Later
Percy's POV:
I found myself packing my bags with books and medical supplies as well as rations for a long journey. Open on the table was an old book written in the ancient language of this world, and it was turned to a page that depicted a shrine to the moon that was located on an island somewhere in the sea. I already had Instinct scout out a possible heading before getting ready. Once I finished packing a few duffle bags of food and other items, I picked them up and started to walk out of the guild hall. As I was leaving the fourth guild master looked at my packed bags and raised an eyebrow.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked and I turned around
"Adventuring. There are a few things I need to check out for Diana, I should be gone for only a few weeks, if the others get back before I do, tell them not to worry" I say and he nods before his son Romeo walks up
"Where are you going Percy?" He asks and I chuckle
"I'm heading out to sea, there is an island that I should find that could help me" I reply and he nods
"Let us see you off then" He says and everyone nods and I sigh before nodding
I begin to walk out with Romeo, Macao, Wakaba, and several others following me. After a few minutes I reached the docks and looked out over the water and took in a deep breath of sea air. Just being near the ocean made me feel invigorated.
"So where's your ship Percy?" Romeo asked and I smiled as I extended my arms to my side
"Stand back" I said as I felt a pull in my gut causing the clouds above us start swirling. The winds started wiping around me and lifting me into the air slowly. I start to chant something in Greek under my breath and causing the water in a circle to glow silver
"Woah" Romeo gasped
"That's amazing" Wakaba said
I clenched my fists and slammed them together causing the water in the circle to erupt into a towering pillar of water which quickly cascaded down like a waterfall. However, as soon as the water was back in the ocean, the circle was no longer there, instead was the familiar silver ship. I heard sounds of shock and surprise at the sudden appearance of a fully weaponized pirate ship. The winds lowered me to the ground as the storm still raged overhead.
"That's my ship Romeo, anymore questions?" I announce and look at everyone to see them still staring along with many random people "What?"
'That was an unnecessary show of power' Midgardsormr said and I chuckled
"What else can you make appear?" Romeo said, and I looked at him and smiled
"I guess you'll see soon enough huh? I have to get going, see you all later" I say as I grab my bags and throw them into a rowboat before making my way to the ship where the Naiad crew greets me
"Welcome aboard captain how are you doing today?" one by the name of Pareia asked and I smiled
"Doing just fine, though we need to get moving immediately. There is a destination that we need to reach soon" I say, and they nod as the sails begin to drop and we begin moving
I take my spot at the helm and steer the ship away from port. I then will the water to push the ship towards the direction of the island. I closed my eyes and let my powers over the sea take over as I calculated the time it would take to get to the island.
"Five days..." I muttered as I walked from the wheel and climbed to the crow's nest where I leaned against the railing and looking out over the sea "Well, its better than nothing I guess"
(Four Days later in the middle of the night)
I stood in the crow's nest staring out over the water when I noticed a dark shape pass underneath the ship. I reached out to the water and felt something that actually made me panic, or more precisely what I couldn't feel. I couldn't feel the ocean beneath me. It was as if something had ripped away control.
"Midgard... what's happened" I ask worriedly
'Your powers were blocked by the power of a dragon...' He said slowly and I watched in shock and slight fear as a massive dark blue dragon rose from the depths of the ocean and faced in the direction of the ship.
"Who dares disturb these waters, you shall be obliterated immediately" The large dragon said and I stood tall and summoned Lunars light
"I am Percy Jackson, Captain of the Moon's Horizon. I did not realize we were trespassing oh ancient one" I yelled out
"Yet you continue on your course, why?" the dragon questioned and I sighed
"I need to reach the island that is in this direction. There is a temple to the moon that I need to use to help my... wife?" I replied and it looked at me like I was speaking Greek
"You may not go near the temple. It is sacred to us and you would defile it! Therefor you must die!" it said before it took in a large breath and then let out a concussive blast of water
I tapped my watched and brandished my shield. I then created a silver dome around the ship protecting it from the blast, however I felt the full force causing me to grit my teeth in pain as I held the shield up. After a few minutes the blast ended and I dropped the shield.
"You are powerful ill give you that but you cannot be allowed to live if you still wish to enter the temple!" the dragon said as it flapped its wings and lifted into the air
'Vortix... you idiot' Midgardsormr said before he uncurled himself and flew towards the large dark blue dragon now named Vortix "Vortix, Protector of the deep, as your king I order you to stand down!"
Midgardsormr started glowing and I saw his form shift from a small oversized lizard to a large and towering dragon. His scales were that of midnight, pitch black and sharper than Aieon, his claws were made out what looked like ivory. He stared at Vortix with his golden eyes.
"We have no king! Ours was lost to time and space millennia ago!" Vortix shouted before he flew at Midgard
As Vortix reached Midgard he folded in his wings allowing him to flip over himself and slammed his tail into Midgardsormr.
"MIDGARD!" I yelled as I watch the old dragon king take the hit, however, Midgard grabbed Vortix's tail in his mouth and flung him around before slamming him into the ocean creating waves the size of a five story building
The water crashed down on top of the Moon's Horizon, I just barely got my shield up in time. Once the water receded I looked to where the two dragons were and was amazed at what I saw. Vortix was holding his own against Midgardsormr, an ancient dragon that could best the king of dragons that existed long before the race even existed.
"Who do you work for!? Acnologia?" Vortix demanded as he flapped his wings once causing Midgardsormr to stumble back "You dare turn your back on your own kind!? Die!" Vortix drew his wings back before throwing them forward creating two large twisters that were about to slam into Midgard
Midgard beat his wings once and took to the air before rearing his head back and mustering a golden flame.
"You ant to fight boy! I will show you power that you could not fathom!" Midgard says angrily before unleashing a torrent of golden fire that caused the twisters to dissipate and even boil the water before turning it to steam "I AM MIDGARDSORMR, KING OF THE DRAGONS!" He roared
The fire from Midgardsormr was so bright it was like a second sun in the middle of the night. I watched in awe as the dragon Vortix was consumed in a matter of moments. However a small shadow covered the moon for a brief moment before a bright silver light shot down and slammed into Midgardsormr cutting off his attack.
"You dare take our Lost king's name! You miscreant!" A feminine voice yelled out as a silver scaled dragon came barreling down toward the dragon king
For the next few minutes it was a constant battle between the three dragons. However I knew Midgardsormr wasn't at his full power and soon he was getting beaten back as he didn't want to kill his own subjects. I started pacing around the deck of the Horizon and slowly freaking out.
"I have to help. I have to do something..." I muttered as the crew all went below deck to hide
I rubbed my eyes in frustration and when I pulled them away I saw a snake head on the back of my left hand and sighed.
"I guess I have to..." I complain as I will my outfit to vanish leaving me weaponless and only in pants "Here goes nothing..."
Third Person POV:
As Midgard, Vortix and the silver dragon were attacking each other, Percy had gotten half naked and was taking deep breaths. On his back left shoulder blade was a tattoo of a crescent moon, on his right shoulder blade was a tattoo of a hammer like object, but along his spine and covering the rest of his back were three snake tattoos, they were intertwined near his tailbone as if they were anchored there.
On his left side was a snake that looked like a python, below its head was an item that looked not unlike the three fates. On the right side of his back there was a king cobra, below its head was a circle with many spikes, a symbol of chaos, and down the center of his back, following his spine was a large anaconda like snake but below its head looked to be a circle that held nine spheres, each sphere had their own little design but it ultimately it represented nine different worlds.
Percy planted himself firmly on the deck of the ship and slowly started chanting. The three snakes on his back shimmered and slowly moved across his back. The left snake moving to his hand and the right snake to his other hand. However, the anaconda went to the base of his skull as a silver aura surrounded him.
"Καλώ τα τρία φίδια του κόσμου. Το Πύθωνα το φίδι της μοίρας, ο Απόφης, το φίδι του χάους και το Jörmungandr το φίδι του κόσμου. βγαίνουν και υποτάσσουν τους εχθρούς μου!" Percy shouted as he slammed his palms together and lowered his head
As soon as his hands came together, there was a dull boom. The raging waters instantly stilled despite the battle between the dragons. The silver aura around Percy flickered and turned a sickly green as if the Oracle's smoke was surrounding him. Then a large green python shot out of his left hand, a moment after that, his aura changed again, this time to a blood red, as if the Egyptian desert sun was setting. After that, his aura changed to a light grey as a massive grey skinned snake shot out of Percy's spine.
The three snakes all had an uncanny intelligence to them as they rocketed towards Vortix and the silver dragon.
"Python, Apophis! Take out Vortix the blue dragon! Jörmungandr, aid Midgardsormr!" Percy ordered through gritted teeth as sweat dripped down his forehead
Python and Apophis enclosed on Vortix who was surprised at the new combatants and was quickly bitten by the snakes. They immediately started wrapping around him and much to his surprise quickly subduing him.
"What sort of magic is this!?" he demanded but Percy did not respond "Valkyrie!" He shouted but the sliver dragon was also caught off guard by the world serpent
After a few minutes of struggling she too was restrained by the world serpent.
"What is the meaning of this!?" She demanded as Midgardsormr hovered above them
"Quiet! I am Midgardsormr, the king of the ancient dragons, as appointed by Void himself. You are Vortix and Valkyrie two of my generals during the dragon war. You two were invaluable as well as Igneel and Metalicana. However, I was lost in a rift between time and space and found myself weak and in the clutches of a pathetic immortal. I was saved by the boy that now holds you two in your bonds. I apologize for not being able to be around to help defend out kind from Shi, but who is Acnologia?" Midgard asked and the two dragons looked at each other
"He is a human turned dragon from the art of dragon slaying. He swore to kill every dragon he crossed paths with and did so. Now only we remain... Igneel... is dead..." Valkyrie said and Midgardsormr looked shocked before looking at Percy
"Young Paladin, release them" he said and Percy released his spell drawing the three snakes back into himself before dropping to the deck of the ship void of energy "We must head to the island so we can talk. Perseus here will not defile your temple as he is a protector of the moon himself. But I have a request of you two. Teach him this magic you call dragon slaying, so he may survive in this world against that beast of a man." Midgard said and the now freed dragons nodded
"Of course milord, we will teach him everything we know, he should be ready in six years" Vortix said proudly
"He only has three months" Midgard said but Valkyrie laughed
"Do not worry Lord Midgard, the time here moves faster than the mainland. Its how we have stayed safe for so long" She explained and Midgard nodded "Vortix be a dear and get the ship safely to shore. Once he is awake we will begin our training"
Vortix did as he was asked and soon Percy was laying on the beach of a heavily forested island. However little did he know what sort of hell he would be put through.
A/N: Here you go! I had a day off so yeah. Work begins again tomorrow though.
