The Forgotten Blacksmith

Chapter One: Broken free

WALLY'S POV

I woke up, aching from head to knee (Yes, even my butt hurt.)  I grabbed my sword, using it like a support to stand up. I stretched and looked at the gate that had been closed ever since that ancient came through here, only it wasn't there. I thought, It's open.. After all this time?! Gods, took them a while. I hurried through it, but not before grabbing my bag, which was empty except for some ambrosia.  I stepped over some bones and muttered, "Really gotta keep up with the theme, huh Aides..?" I saw an elevator, and assumed that was the way out. I hurried towards the elevator and pressed up. The elevator started to rumble, and I could hear gears spinning, "Very.. Uh.. Steampunk?" I said to no one in particular. The elevator's doors closed, and darkness entwined me.

                                                  ~ Estimated Time Passed: 1:00:00~

 I saw light, and knew that I was ready to get out, the elevator doors opened, and I couldn't hear the turns of the gear. I walked out, and noticed I wasn't in LA, or New York. ''What the Aides? An exit that doesn't go to either camp.'' I exclaimed out loud. I thought, Maybe I should get a plane, or I.M. [Iris Message] someone. Then I looked around, seeing that everything was stripped of it's beauty, trees were bare, the ground was a reddish brown, and barely any animals. I saw a rusted town nearby and headed in..

 ANCIENT POV 

One of my faithful servants walked up to me. I didn't bother greeting him politely, I didn't even remember his name. He stuttered like a pig, ''M-M-Master..?'' I snapped, ''What is it fool!?'' He gulped, and I smiled, loving the fear I put in him. He stuttered again, ''T-T-The boy.. H-H-He's escaped..'' I was outraged and yelled, ''WHAT!? YOU HAD ONE JOB, AND YOU FAILED! I SHOULD TURN YOU INTO THE PIG THAT YOU ARE!'' The servant gulped, and said, ''M-m-master.. W-W-e believe that it was a uh... I-I-Inside Agent...'' I instantly grimaced, I knew who it was, she was very helpful to my cause, but she was always rebellious. I said, ''Did she leave?'' The servant finally found his voice and said, ''Yes, Master, We think she's going after him.'' I finally chose to look at him, seeing the sweat that rolled down his head, and said, ''I won't turn you into a pig just yet. Tell the General to launch patrols for the boy, we can't let that Oracle be right. If you see the girl, detain her.'' He nodded, and hurried off.

UNKNOWN POV 

I hurried away from that scumbag ancient's base. The boy, Wally, I think was his name, was in the former town of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Now it was the Black Market. I had to get to him before them, and I muttered, ''If only the gods were around...'' I stopped and looked around, seeing the bare wasteland. ''Maybe.. Just maybe.. He'll be able to restore this to its former glory.'' I shook my head and decided, no one can fix this. This can never be fixed, even if the gods return..
