Shadows of Tyr's Vengeance

Chapter 3

"Cut the crud, lady!" Piper boomed. "We just need some info on herbal medicine."

"I sense that's what you came for. But there's more you must know" she raised a brow.

"What on Earth do you mean?" I asked curiously, wanting to know what she meant.

"You are very special. One who will rid the land of evil."

Piper became flustered. "You serious?! Just give us what we want!"

Piper slammed her fist on the nearest table. The items hopped as she did.

"H-Hang on Piper, maybe she has a point even though she seems...odd. Maybe there could be an end to Tyr's reckoning."

Piper huffed. "Okay, go on."

"You, my boy have a great gift." her eyes went wide.

"Gift? Now lady I think you're making a big misunderstanding here." I said

"You have great potential. You are the son of a legendary hero, Rathalos the warrior of lightning."

I didn't understand what was just said and I thought that it was all a dream but unfortunately, It wasn't.

"So... what you're saying is that, I'm the son of Rathalos?!?"

I couldn't believe it. I thought the Witch Doctor was making it up but when I looked at her she showed no emotions of kidding. I became light headed from all the information that I had to take in. Piper caught me as I became dizzy.

"Yes boy, you are the son of Rathalos. You wield great power within you."

"You saying this... thing--"

"Sergal, Piper." I said, cutting Piper off.

"Is a demi-god????"

"Yes dear Piper, Zenith is the son of Rathalos and Athena."

"The warrior of lightning and the goddess of beauty?!" I exclaimed.

Piper smirked at me.

I then looked over at Piper "W-What's that smirk for?" I stammered.

"Nothing..." she smiled.

I became confused on why she smirked at me that way but then I shrugged it off.

"So what makes me so special besides being born as a Demi-God?"

"You will be the one to restore peace to the land and defeat Tyr! You also have the ability to summon your own weapons out of thin air!"

"Wha... Teach me!" I exclaimed.

The Witch Doctor snapped her fingers at me "ah, ah, ah! Not so fast! You need to figure it out yourself!"

"Oh... Alright." I was puzzled and conflicted.

"If she knows my past and my potential, what can't she tell me how to unlock it?" I thought to myself. I thought maybe she's too old to even teach me. From the looks of it, she probably is over a hundred years old.

"So, how is he supposed to learn?" Piper said sarcastically and waved her paws around.

The hedgehog became visibly angered and she tried to push us out of the hutch.

"This is where I send you two off and you leave my hutch before I curse you!" She yelled.

We left the tent and headed back into town.

" I told you she was crazy, Zenith." Piper said.

"I understand... but something about feels right."
