"So what exactly happened out there?" He asked, then smiled at Anabelle. Ernie reached a hand out to shake. "Please to meet a friend of Cory's...or girlfriend of Cory."

Cory frowned and pondered the question, "I was stabbed...almost died...you know, the usual life when living in a world where Erik Pontius and a real-life Rumpelstiltskin are alive. Long story short I still have a lot of enemies from getting away from the League, that and I'm actually two parts immortal one part mortal...the second immortal one is just there for when I...you know...lose control. Sorta like what would have happened two seconds ago had Anabelle not been here..."

Ernie nodded. "Seems perfectly normal..." He muttered. He wasn't one for jokes or comments. Maybe this camp softened him up a little. "Erik still has it in for you?"

Anabelle nodded. "Ok." She turned to Ernie and shook his hand. "Please to meet you too." She laughed. "Yeah, girlfriend." She quietly listened to the two converse.

Cory gave a sigh and said, "Yeah." He lowered his voice so Aaron couldn't hear and said to Ernie, "He's still looking for Aaron. I don't know what he wants, but he wants his brother and I don't think it's to catch up."
Aaron glanced over when Cory lowered his voice and screwed up his face, he was hiding something from him. After all Aaron had done for Cory, he still hid things from him. He made a small noise of disgust and stood, "Look, if you're going to just whisper and hide stuff from me, I'm just going to go."
Cory was going to say something, but he thought better of it. Aaron's eyes lit with anger as he left the room to go train. Aaron clenched his hands into fists and punched the wall as he got outside the infirmary. He made a dent in the wall and he gripped his hand, blocking out the pain. He stormed past the guards on duty and went to find out centurions.

Anabelle watched him go, making a mental note in the back of her mind to find him later. She owed him a thank you, anyway.
(ugh, feels like a filler)

Ernie nodded. "Erik is an interesting person, so the reason behind it isn't going to be written on a sign upon arrival."

(Yeah...It'll probably be a few fillers before we get into something)
Cory cringed and nodded, "That's true...but you'd think after all this time he'd give up. He's a mortal, he's never going to be able to find Aaron if he stays here."

(Just to keep it rolling...and btw, all will be explained with this newly revealed character) Erik sat lazily on a chair above a pile of trash. He looked out to the desert, his strange brown eyes over looking the miles of godly garbage surrounding him. What always managed to catch his gaze was the giant humanoid figure a few hundred yards away from him. He smirked and put his hands behind his head and leaned back, "Ah yes...that creature that Hephaestus created. It amazes me how even the trash of the gods becomes the death sentence of their own children." He shook his head and then said, "Bianca d'Angelo...a huntress, though not the type my brethren and I are. But still, your death was uncalled for. It is the gods that cause this, though who am I to defy them. I am put a mortal. Not demigod, nor satyr or centaur. No...I'm put a mortal with incredible powers." Behind him, someone coughed with amusement, "Rambling again are we, Erik? It's unhealthy how much you think aloud." Erik turned and chuckled slightly, but didn't say anything, instead the person continued, "You know, you should probably stop coming here. It just causes you grief and makes you hate your brother's kind even more." Erik laughed again and then stood and said, "But darling, that is the whole reason I come here," He went over to the figure and wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a hungry and passionate kiss on her lips, "I come here just to remember what it's like to be helpless and alone. To remember why I took this curse," He rolled up his jacket sleeve to reveal a wing like marking from where more tattoo like symbols and marks had spread along his arm and continued under his clothing. He clenched his fist and grinned, "I may not be a demigod, but I sure as hell can be like them." The girl just shook her head and smirked, "You're crazy sometimes with all this...energy and stuff at your disposal. It scares me sometimes, but sometimes it just makes me understand you." Erik grinned and grabbed her jaw in his hand and slammed her lips to his. They both grinned into the kiss. Eventually they were interrupted by a sudden burst of sound bellow the pile of godly trash and they looked down to see a collapsed heap. Erik cursed and slid down the hill and went to the figure. Erik growled, "Shit Marcus, I didn't tell you to go get yourself beat up." The figure stood, the knife still protruding from his torso. He cracked his back and looked down at the knife. It vanished in a flash and the wound closed into a glowing scar. Marcus shook his head and chuckled, "I was so close to getting him. So close, but he got the better of me this time. He'll be bed ridden for a while. I believe my part of the bargain has been fulfilled, now comes yours." Erik shook his head and said, "Ah, ah, ah. Not so fast. I said for you to find Aaron." "I have. He's in that Roman camp. He's out of your reach until he leave there." Erik cursed and then said slowly, "Fine. Here you go. The history of Cory Jason, via the League of Bounty Hunters. " M the Seer, aka Marcus, grinned and took the file, "Thank you for your cooperation. I'm always willing to help in your...endeavors." The Son of Erebus snapped his fingers with a grin and vanished. The girl appeared at Erik's side and said, "Are you sure you did the right thing, giving away that file to him?" Erik just brushed her hair reassuringly and said, "He was my partner for ages. I trust him. Now...we're going to have to use your bloodline to get into that camp. Come now Bianca, Daughter of Hades. We've got work to do." Bianca smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek before following grabbing onto him and vanishing with him in a flash of darkness. *** Cory gasped and sat up abruptly then stood and rushed over to the sink. He ran cool water of his hand and said, "What the heck was that..." His vision grew blurry and he said, "Oh...oh...I think I stood up to fast...uhh..." He fell to his knees and then looked back up groggily at Ernie and Anabelle, asking for some help back to his bed, "Sorry about that...I...I don't know what's up with me lately. Maybe it's just a side affect of me loosing control." He sighed and said, "Ernie, do you know if the League's been really active in the last few years, or has it just been the same since we left?"

Anabelle stood up suddenly as Cory did. "Cory..." She hurried over to him and slid an arm around his shoulders before letting him lean on her as she helped him back to the bed.

Ernie got on his other side and helped him back to bed. He sighed and plopped down on the cot next to his. "The League...had issues after I left..as you probably already know. After you left, they got worse. I have-had a friend who kept me updated the past few years and the last thing I heard from her was..they're no longer active..." He sat silently for a few moments.

Cory leaned forward slightly and said, "The last I heard was that instead of being an organization like they used to be, mortals and demigods that were apart of it run around on their own, doing what they want. Bounty hunters are a dying breed, thank the gods, but there's still contact between the ones that are still alive. I know Thomas Bryant, Ra, is still out there. He's still sour about my leaving...he probably still organizes what's left of the League." He paused after he spoke and noticed Ernie's sudden quiet, his eyes got soft and said, "What do you mean had?"

Ernie smiled slightly and shrugged. "My friend, Izzy...or you may have known her as Smokes. She stayed part of the League and fed me info. Erik found out that she was given info to an outside source....and had her killed. He doesn't know that it was me receiving it."

Cory gave a frown and put his hand on Ernie's shoulder, "I'm sorry man. What do you say you and I team up when I get better to put Erik in his place once and for all? I'd really appreciate it if you could help Anabelle and I."
***
Aaron was patrolling around the border when he spotted a figure about a mile away. He motioned a guard over and said, "Is that just me, or is that a girl coming this way?" The other guard squinted and he nodded, "Yes sir, it is. Would you like me to check it out?" Aaron just looked back over and then gave a nod, "Why don't you, she could be a half-blood." The guard nodded and began his walk toward the figure.
Erik watched the two guards converse before one of them started coming toward Bianca. He chuckled and said, "So far so good. This camp will never know what hit them. So long as she isn't recognized, this plan should go very well." He rubbed his hands together and then vanished.
