[i]00:54, Ollimand, Middle of Nowhere[/i]
[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1677784/235329136/0/0/1]Cast[/url] lie face-down in the grasslands.
For the first time since the attack of that portal goddess, he stood up.
Where was he?
He felt the cut on his left cheek. It was scabbed up, now.
He felt around the pocket of his jeans. No Dramchas. That damn woman stole them all.
But he did still have his universal remote. He hit [i]000[/i] then hit [i]2[/i].
The infared eye of the remote began to act as a flashlight sending a circle of white light into the ground as he walked around in the grasslands.

[b]A strange, triangular dropship descended out of the sky, rumbling to a resting place on the ground fifty feet away. It was made of black stone, ancient and rough yet oddly smooth at the same time. The hidden door on its side slid open, and several men, clad head to toe in black armor, stepped from the ship. And with it, someone who had major influence in the future of the planet...[/b] "Hmm. What do we have here? A half-blood? Is that it? Well, this should be interesting." [b]The voice came from a man known to some as Aeron Tenebrae, a strange thing that had arrived on Tatakai for reasons unknown. He wore ancient, intricate silver armor with black underclothing, with the entire outfit seemingly almost... royal in a sense. With it, he donned a silver crown. His hair was dark brown and his eyes were blue, but it didn't seem that that was his normal appearance. No. He seemed more like a god...[/b] "Huh. Funny. It's not often I come across demigods than fall from a portal into an open field. It's almost entertaining really. Different at least. So tell me, where do you think you are?"
-
"E-earth?" He asked, his voice quivering.

Edited by Wheatley: 10/26/2017 6:59:38 PM[b]He looked at him, sighing in a way as to give sincere apology...[/b] "I'm afraid you're somewhere very far from home, half-blood. The planet you're on right now is known as Tatakai, Not [i]that[/i] different than the one you call home. But of course, there are a few differences. For starters, me." [b]He gestured towards his ship, then he moved his hand and arm as to demonstrate the landscape and skyline[/b] "Welcome to your new home."
-
"New home? I want to go back to my old home."
-
"I'm afraid you can't. In this reality, Earth was destroyed. And besides, the journey back to your Earth is long and difficult. Maybe someday..." [b]He paused[/b] "Hmm. Maybe."
-
"I don't care, I want to get back home."
-
"And how do you think you are going to do that?"
-
"No clue. I will find a way."
-
[b]As soon as he'd turned the next time, there was a tall woman right beside him. The woman was six-and-a-half feet tall, and had a large smile on her face. She wore something that was akin to Van Helsing's outfit, but all black. A coat, a wide-brimmed hat, a pair of gloves, pants, and boots. Her eyes burn with a bright blue fire, and her smile glowed. It wasn't creepy, or even wide, it was just friendly. She had a huge gun on her back, an explosive anti-take rifle. She waves at him a small amount.[/b] "Hallo! You zeem to be lost. Do you require direction? I can help you."
-
Cast shined the flashlight in her face, then screamed, jumping back. He fell onto his butt, his flashlight shining on him. He looked about 16, and was African-American. His skin as dark as mocha. His black hair was short and wavy. His eyes were a soft hazel. The scab on his left cheek was obvious, and stood out on his face. His orange Camp Half-Blood shirt stood out as well. He grabbed his flashlight, standing back up. "Sorry, sorry. Yes, I'm lost. Can you point me in the direction of Long Island?"
-
"Long Island? Zeetie, you are on ze vong planet. You are on Tatakai, not Earth. And you're probably nezer going back to your home planet. People don't like ozers leaving out of ze blue. Vou're probably going to be here for a vile." [b]She slowly began to lead him in a different direction, seemingly to nowhere. Nothing was really in view yet.[/b] "Vollow me. Ve vill get you zomevere to ztay until zou can zink zomezing up."
-
He followed, with more questions, "What do you mean we're not on Earth?! Is this some sort of trick pulled off by those Hermes kids? Please tell me I'm not dreaming!" He demanded.
-
"I mean ve aren't on Earth. Ve are on Tatakai. No, zis is not a trick from ze zons and daughters of Hermez, zey aren't clever enough to pull zomezing zis elaborate. And you are not dreaming."
-
"That portal-spawning b***h sent me to another planet," he said.
-
"Yes, yes. Vell, zat doesn't veally matter. You're here now, and are going to be here vor ze next long vile. People never leave here very fast."
-
"She even took my Dramchas," he muttered.
-
"You Greeks and your outdated coin. Use zome actual money and zee vere zat gets you. You vill have much more cash."
-
"Hey! U.S. Dollars can't buy ambrosia!" He argued.
-
"Yes, but it can buy cocaine and kool-aid powder, vich makes about ze zame thing if you cannot die by conventional means like me."
-
"Don't do drugs," he told her, using a bit of charmspeak, "I'm merely a demigod."
-
"I'll do vatever I please, young man. Vour demigod powers don't vork on homunculi vho have gone zough mental torture vou couldn't dream up in vour vildest dreams. Plus, it vas just a joke. Drugs don't do much vor me anymore." [b]If he knew what a homunculus was, he'd know that mind-altering forces do not work on them, for homunculi have no true consciousness.[/b]
-
"I have no idea what that is," he admitted.
-
"A homunculus is a being created by putting human zperm inside of a horse. After three hours, ze horse is split open and zat makes a homunculus. Homunculi melded vith existing people lose their zouls. Ve have more zan vone source of consciousness, zo mind altering zings do not vork on us."
-
"Ah. Okay." He seemed nonchalant as he said this.
-
"Ve have a very long valk ahead of us. So, you have any more questions?"
