???'s POV:
I woke up and looked around, I saw nothing except darkness.
"Hello!?" I called out but no one responded
I looked down at myself as I tried to remember where I was, but nothing came to me. I wore a simple black outfit, I wore no shoes but I figured I wouldn't need them in this place. But as I tried to recall where I was located, something occurred to me, I didn't even know who I was.
"Why can't I remember anything?" I say aloud and this time a low chuckle resonated through me
"You cannot remember anything because it is for your own good. In fact, after this meeting you won't remember what happened here" a disembodied voice said
"Can you tell me my name?" I asked
"I cannot, I am sorry but I cannot give you any information, because even if I did, you would not remember it" The voice said
"Well, can you tell me why I'm here at least?" I ask hopefully
"That I can do" The voice said and I fist pumped slightly "You are here to take an oath"
"Why do I have to take an oath?" I ask curiously
"Once you start the oath, you will understand. I promise that" The voice said
"Alright I trust you" I say
Suddenly there is a flash of light, and when the light fades a battle worn man is standing in front of me with a mischievous smirk on his face that I find extremely familiar. The man stares at me with intense sea-green eyes.
"Shall we get started?" the man asks
I nod and the man smiles more.
"Raise your right hand" the man instructs and I comply "Do you solemnly swear to uphold the values of the Guardians"
Suddenly my posture straightens and I look straight into the man's eyes and I feel a sudden compulsion to agree, so I do.
"I do" I responded verbally
"Do you swear on your life that you will protect your charge to your dying breath?" The man asks
"I do" I say again
"Do you take the responsibility of being a Guardian for the rest of your life?" The man says and my eyes are filled with determination
"I do" I say and the man smiles
"Then I formally welcome you to the guardians" the man says before I see a mischievous glint in his eyes as he smirks again "However, no one else knows of this. In fact, this shouldn't be happening we should be in the isles of the blessed, but you know, some rules were made to be broken. So that is why I must erase your memory. I am sorry but it is safest that way. But you will still feel emotions and other things like that as those cannot be forgotten" The man explains
"I understand. It is for the greater good and it is also for my safety" I say and the man nods
"I knew you'd understand. But perhaps you will regain your memories over time." The man says before a small light appears in the distance "Our time together is up. When you are engulfed in that light you will forget this meeting but I promise you, that this is for the best. Take Care" The man finishes before fading from existence
The light in the distance quickly grew until it was almost on top of me, that's when a single name popped into my head.
"Arty" was the last thing I whispered before the light engulfed me
Third Person POV:
In a hospital in New York, in the middle of the night when the moon shone a dark crimson color, a woman with brown hair and blue eyes was in labor. A man with a loud Hawaiian shirt stood next to the woman as he held her hand as the doctor tried to help the woman who was giving birth.
"Just breathe deeply Sally, then push" the man said
"I know, I know" Sally said through gritted teeth as she took another deep breath and continued to push "You're doing great"
After a few hours, Sally had finally given birth to a baby boy. The baby had raven black hair and was currently wrapped in a blue blanket sleeping soundly. The man kneeled next to Sally as the doctors walked out to give the two some space.
"What should we name him Poseidon?" Sally asked the man
"Well, I have a name in mind, one that both symbolizes a strong protector and might lead him to a happy ending" Poseidon said
"And what name would that be?" Sally asked curiously
"Perseus" was all Poseidon said and Sally looked at little boy in her arms
"I like it." She concluded "Perseus Achilles Jackson"
Sally looked at Poseidon and smiled as Poseidon looked back at Sally, neither of them aware of the slight sliver aura the little boy produced when the two weren't looking. However, when they both looked back at the boy, the aura was gone. And Sally repeated the boy's name again just to hear the sound of it.
"Perseus Achilles Jackson"
