But Your Honor, Free Bird was Playing! - Chapter 2

Olympus, Council Chamber - Zeus

"Oh fuck no, it's you."

Zeus distinctly remembered them, her first words upon meeting him, recognizing him.

That moment for mortals was usually one filled with awe, with dread, with elation, with shame, with horror, and of course lust, a personal favorite. Or any combination of emotions.

All of it made his heart swell ...

But Your Honor, Free Bird was Playing! - Chapter 1

The story of two Self Insert in the PJO world with a very specific murder-oriented goal.

Warmth.

That was all I was conscious of. A feel of safety, warmth and a quiet comforting buzz under my skin. Or the buzz was my skin, I'm not sure.

Movement.

And then...

Light!

I breathed for the first time again.

Again?

Wait,...

"Alright, come down, we need to talk about what you've done." Ares said with a smirk. He seemed to have a natural growl of subtle anger, even when he's smiling or seemingly calm.

Guess that's just a part of being the God of War.

"Yes, sir!" I called out and jumped down with no problem. I placed my hand on the giant bronze baseball and focused on shrinking it back to it's normal si...

On the fourth day of our sea journey, we reached Westport, Connecticut. Thorny docked the boat in Saugatuck River at Bluff Point.

"So I'm gonna head out and come back with at least two demigods, so please be ready to head out to Long Island as soon as possible." I told Thorny.

"At leas—You know what?" He raised his hands, palms open in a gesture that says 'I don't give a shit any...

Thankfully, Zeus continued to flex by ensuring the plane landed in Lake Whitehurst, basically right next to the Norfolk International Airport.

After getting on the boats to the airport, and ensuring some people saw me alive, I used the Mist to disguise my leaving and left. Wait, that's redundant.

Anyways, taking a taxi to the nearest port (I swear something about how the taxi trip...

Okay, maybe I spoke too soon about today not being a bad first day on this journey to Camp Half-Blood.

"Child of the divine, answers my riddles three, or thy path shall end with me." Said the grinning sphinx. In the middle of the airport.

"How did you even get here? Why do you work here?" I couldn't help but ask, incredulous.

The sphinx was wearing an airport employee shirt,...

Hermes snapped his fingers, leaving in style as he transformed into light that rode the winds.

So cool. I couldn't help but think.

I sighed unable to keep my smile off my face. I should probably feel afraid, or at least anxious.

Instead I'm kinda excited. Quite frankly when I first realized what world I was reborn into, I felt stressed.

Then I learned who my da...

Minus, The Witch POV:

Minus was in silent contemplation. What she was feeling right now...

How many years? She wondered. How many centuries has it been since I've experienced genuine, unadulterated fear?

The fact that she was having this thought was in its own way hilarious to Minus. That as soon as she attained the Divine Gift of Precognition, she h...

The monster's core grinded into nothing long before I reached the end of the tunnel. And when it was gone I sent a wave of fire to get rid of anything left behind just in case.

My hand was red and bloody as I looked at it in the end. The skin was shredded and peeled back in some places. The muscles of my shoulders, biceps and forearms felt like they were burning. Shoulder blades and back ...

Ancient Einsam POV:

It was a monster of regrets. It's earliest memory was of a man falling down a cliff.

The Einsam was not sure what was that a memory of.

Was that its first victim, running after the image of a loved one?

Was that its first illusion, a trick image, used to making someone else run after them and fall to their death?

Or perhaps that memory ...

Time continued to pass. Things... became better somewhat.

The rooms being constructed for the new kids were finished. The matron got worker for the farm, volunteers from town that wanted to help. The oldest kids would join them.

The rest of the older kids took over looking after the younger ones. The...

"Being polite is normal." I said stiffly as I sat next to the Orange Woman.

The annoying thing was, I couldn't help but want to relax in her presence. Like I had to intentionally try to be rigid and annoyed.

"True, but not at the expense at torturing yourself." She replied in a casual playful tone.

"What are you talking about?" I said back, almost flinching at her wor...

"I... I don't—" I tried to say, to explain, justify, anything, but Ms. Gütig wouldn't let me.

"You thought you hide it, but you looked so disgusted that first few times I asked you to look after little Rein. As if the thought of someone asking you for help was so horrendous."

If It's Stupid But It Works... Then It's Still Stupid & It's a Miracle That It Worked - Chapter 1

A PJO story following the Son of Koalemos.

===

The place was a house on a small farm in Orange County, North Carolina.

Hermes, God of Roads and Travels, Messenger of the Gods, walked out of a flash of light and wind, as he manifested on a front walk leading to a simple two story idyllic home with a farmstead next to it. A capybara laid on the porch sleeping.

He st...

Perception illusion.

I've experienced it many times already at this point. It wasn't just about tricking me to confuse distance or direction.

It's also how the Einsam is able to make an illusion hit me emotionally even when I know it's not real.

I thought I'd get used to it. The feeling of guilt of killing my "friends" in an illusion usually goes away when I leave the...

Fear Not The Elf Who Knows 10,000 Spells - Chapter 26

The energy of the Erdruf rippled out and exponentially enveloped the mountain.

As the energy passed through the rock and stone, it shook the material, creating a resonance that send that material to vibrate.

Given that I used the full strength of the spell (something that Schroff warned against) I expected that I'd have a small window to dash through the Death Tunnel, or if not, try...

Fear Not The Elf Who Knows 10,000 Spells - Chapter 25

"I'm not here to fight you." I said. Futilely. Stupidly. Yet hoping still. "Not this time. I want the plant." This thing was intelligent. Enough to scheme, to understand threats or sarcasm. "Just that and I'll go. You'll never even see me in your territory every again."

I said, on the complete absolute and ridiculous chance that this can work. That the monster would accept having one less...

Fear Not The Elf Who Knows 10,000 Spells - Chapter 24

Floating atop the battlefield I gave the whole area one last surveying look, using full sight mana detection, before shutting it off to normal mana detection. I was starting to get a headache.

Everyone's mana levels were gone as they didn't have the life force to generate any. Meaning, thankfully, hopefully, everyone was dead, Dave.

I flew away from the battlefield to the d...

Update!

I may have mentioned this in the thread, but I wanted to elaborate on it now.

I'm going to on a trip starting tomorrow May 28th. I'll be gone for two weeks, and I won't have a laptop so chapter updates won't be happening till I come back on June 10th and even then I likely won't have anything posted for a day or two as I decompress from the trip.

Just wanted to let you all know th...

To my annoyance, the shield didn't break from the force of my supersonic strike, even with everything else.

There was crack, so I at least managed that.

"...You're just a child—"

I stepped back and swung upward. The sword struck the knight's shield again, his arm leaning away from all the punishment it forced to endure. I slashed from his open side.

Annoyingly Jilwer i...

There was a moment.

Through the heat across my forehead, cheeks, jaw—just head in general from the mana fever, and the multiple spells I was juggling.

Through it all there was a moment.

A single moment where I thought if I should stop.

I can just go to Ackerheim, take Schroff, carry him and run away to our cabin in the mountain. Go face the Ancient Einsam, get the Shin...

"How did she sense me?" I wondered out loud. Yes, the assassin didn't have time to react once I planned and acted in Jilwer time, but the fact that she sensed me is still something to note. "Actually how do people not sense me in general when I use mana detection?"

I floated in the sky about three kilometers above. Using the Line Mode of mana detection I could see that at least the army s...

Finding from Mr. Gerwin that Kolmar was there when Schroff was ambushed was easy enough.

Same with finding the guard, as I already felt his mana signature and followed him.

"Kolmar." I called out.

I flew as fast as I could across the storm of spells.

I swerved and dodged fireballs exploding, giving off heat and light so bright, even miles away, I still felt the phantom heat.

Barrel rolled and avoided a slow moving ball of lightning that appeared out of nowhere, exploded into a giant tesla ball grabbing and electrocuting anyone caught in its radius.<...

What Minus said rang in my mind like a bell and a judge's gavel at once.

A countdown that I can't—that I don't want to imagine had started.

Two hours till Ackerheim is besieged.

Two hours until Old Schroff is fighting. Because I know the old man, no matter how much he acts, no matter how much he tries to distance himself to things, to people he cares.

He grunt...

Minus, The Witch POV:

When did the change happen, she wondered.

What made the future change?

Is it an unexpected power? Is it something Trenn is inherently capable of? Another Divine Gift that she didn't see?

Looking at the past, the origin of deviation... She caused it.

Minus herself was the cause. All because she her curiosity sent her to meet the i...

The Great Mage Minus looked back on that memory with gleeful amusement.

The reaction the little human child gave to her arrival was not what Minus expected. She thought the child would be scared of the inevitable, sc...
