The Legacies
Chapter 1: We are the Legacies
Many, Many years after the Giant War.
Perseus
"Time to get up, Moron" my unfortunately twin sister, said hitting me upside the head.
"Why are we leaving so early for camp, anyway?"
"I don't know Mom wants us to. Now get up!" she said throwing the cover off me.
"Phone, quit it!"
"Make me, sea boy!" she said repeatedly hitting me.
"Shut up, Dragon breath"
"Stupid head!"
"Is that all you can come up with? Grow up."
"No wonder you don't have a girlfriend. No respect"
"I have respect just not for you!"
"Both of you, Shut up and come downstairs for breakfast!" they heard their mother scream and immediately ran downstairs.
I should probably explain what we are before I continue…
We are Legacies. Legacies are the children of demigod heroes. My mother, Lyric (Daughter of Poseidon) and my father, Leo (Son of Hephaestus) had saved the world in the last Giant War. Since then the world's been in peace, beside the occasional monster and country arguing with the other.
There are other Legacies Like my cousins, Athena and Oceana; they're Uncle Percy and Aunt Annabeth's kids, and also my sister's best friends.
There's Jason and Piper's kids, Tristan, Spencer, and Thalia. But since they live in New Rome we haven't seen them since Thalia was born, which was 10 years ago. But our parents still keep in touch.
Then there's Chris, My best friend. His mom is Clarisse (Daughter of Ares) so you can imagine how hard he's being trained on a daily basis. Let's just say so much he takes Camp training as a well-deserved vacation.
Those are the only other Legacies I know but there might be more. The cool thing about Legacies is that sometimes we get powers that our Parents have. Like me and Phone. Phone has ability over fire like my father. She has it under control for the most part, except when she gets mad or she sees a cute guy.
I have the ability over water, like my mom. I can't turn myself into water like her but I can have some control over the waves and currents, like my uncle, Perseus.
"So I know what River is now," My mom said over breakfast.
"Thought she was Human?" My dad said mocking her.
"Shut up, Valdez. I mean she's a Fire."
"How'd you find out?" My dad said, smiling, probably because he had another child like him.
My mom showed us the burn bandage on her arm. "I picked her up this morning and she was 400 degrees because of a nightmare"
I snorted, and mom glared at me. "Oh come on, it's funny"
"You are truly your fathers child," she murmured, as we both laughed.
"Are you ok, hon?" My dad said holding her hand.
My mom looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "Don't call me, hon," she laughed.
"Ok, Fish Face" he said laughing.
"Ha-ha" mom said sarcastically "I have to be at the studio by 12 so I'm taking you guys to camp now, are you ready?"
"Yea," Phone and I say at the same time then look at each other in disgust.
"I wish you guys would stop denying that your twins" Mom said laughing as she got in the car.
We are twins but fraternal, Phone looks exactly like my mom but she has my dads chocolate brown eyes. I look like my dad only I have my mother's sea green eyes.
"Mom, the thing is, I do it for Phone's well-being. I don't want her to know she doesn't live up to my potential."
"What potential?" Phone scoffs.
"Watch it, Phone"
"Something wrong, Cece?"
"You know, I hate it when you call me that"
"Why do you think I said it?"
"Can you two wait to kill each other when you get to camp?"
"Ok" we said sulking a bit.
Phoenix
"Leo, quit it" I heard mom laugh as I went downstairs.
She was sitting on his lap trying to read something and he kept turning the pages.
"I'm trying to read something here," she said leaning onto his shoulder.
"But I'm so bored."
"And its my job to entertain you?" she scoffed
"Well as my wife…yes" he said kissing along her collarbone. I cleared my throat.
"Are you two done here? Because I'd like to know when to vomit."
"What's up, Mija?" My father said.
"Mom promised to spare with me this morning" I said "Remember?"
"Of course sweetie." She said getting up, but then kissing my father on the lips. "I'll be right back"
I use my mom's old weapon, τραχύ ρεύμα, or rough current. 2 curved blades that turned into hair clips so they were easy to carry around.
Mom is one of the best fighters I know, besides my aunt and uncle. She was a great swordsman as well as in combat. By the end I was breathing heavily and she was smiling handing me lemonade.
"You told me not to go easy on you." She said sitting across from me, "You're getting good, you guys are so going to dominate capture the flag today. What do I always tell you?"
"Perseus and OC always by the lake or the creek. Team up with the Athena cabin and Apollo cabin. Hide the flag by Zeus's fist not in Zeus's fist. Have the Apollo cabin in the trees hiding in the trees bow's ready for anyone trying to take the flag"
"And?"
"Don't be afraid to set something on fire as a diversion"
"That's my girl," she said smiling.
"What she meant to say was, have fun." My dad said, kissing her on the cheek.
"But win. Have fun while winning"
"But we still love you." My dad said correcting her.
"We do! I do! But win, sweetie"
I laughed, "I will, mom. Never loss before"
"Because your just like your mother" Dad said, wrapping his arms around her pulling her into a kiss.
I'll never say this out loud but I want a relationship like my parents. They've been freaks all their lives with mom having more animal friends then people friends. And dad, setting things on fire by accident, I'm a freak like them but there aren't that many guys that want to deal with that.

"Did you hear me, Phoenix?" My mom said getting out the driver's side to walk us to the camp entrance.
"No, sorry"
"I said Grace's kids are coming to Camp Half-Blood this summer since Piper didn't want them to be all roman. So if you see them be hospital."
"Yea of course" I kissed her on the cheek. "Bye mom"
"Bye, sweetie"
I walked with Perce to the Poseidon cabin. Oceana was playing with the salt-water fountain, while Athena read a book on her bed.
"Phone!" Athena said, getting up to hug me.
"Hey Athena, OC"
"What's up? Hey Cece" Oceana said to Perce.
"Yea I'm staying in the Hephaestus cabin," he said leaving.
"You suck anyway" Athena called after him. "So what's the plan for tonight? You leading capture the flag. I heard its Poseidon against Zeus cabins"
"Jupiter" I corrected. "The romans decided to visit this summer"
"That should be nice, what's more than a welcome then kicking their ass in capture the flag" she said smirking.
"Be nice guys," OC chimed in "I heard they're hot"
"Ladies and Gentleman, OC, my idiot sister" Athena said laughing.
"Shut up!"
"You 2 are ridiculous. I'm going to train for tonight. Athena you get the Athena cabin to join us. OC get the Apollo cabin, I'll tell Perce to convince the Hephaestus cabin. And get the Hypnos cabin too, they can get us the sleep potions"
"And she's back people, Camp Half-Blood's Greatest Fighter, Phoenix Valdez"
"Shut up" I laughed.
I walked into the training room and I saw probably the cutest guy I've ever seen. He had brunette hair that swooped right above his eyebrows, tan skin and multi-colored eyes that were brown and green but if you looked closely you saw specks of sky blue in them. To make matters worse for me he trained without a shirt and you could see a well-defined six-pack.
He turned and faced me, staring at me for a long time making me feel self-conscious until he said
"Nixie?" he said, quizzically.
I looked at him closely for a second
"Spence?"
Next thing I know he was hugging me tightly, he was sweaty but I didn't mind I was happy to see him.
"Haven't seen you in 10 years, Nixie. So how's life? Is this camp any good? Can't be worse then Camp Jupiter, Not that there's anything wrong with it it's just—Wow Phoenix you are smoking."
"Thanks" I said pulling a strand of hair behind my ear.
No your literally smoking" he said panicked.
I looked down at my arms and indeed I was smoking.
"Oh crap," I said patting my arms. "I'm sorry I have it under control usually just not when I see a cute—" I immediately shut my mouth. He raised an eyebrow at me.
"Ok then, well it's too bad I'm going against you for capture the flag."
"Yea, too bad I have to kick your ass"
"We'll see," he said, putting an arm lazily around my waist, and then walking out.
"Your hair's on fire" he called as he jogged out the arena.
And I stood there, dreamily patting out the flames.

"Alright, you know the rules, No intentional maiming, magic items are allowed, first team to take the other teams flag wins" Chiron said in a booming voice "the game starts when you hear the bell."
On my side, we had the Athena, Apollo, Hypnos, Hermes and the Hephaestus cabin.
Spence's side had everyone else; there were two girls I didn't know on his side. Kick ass now, introduce later. I give myself the mental note. The bell sounded and everyone besides me, Percy, OC, Athena, and half the Apollo cabin charged. The other half climbed up the trees around the flag with their bows. Percy headed to the lake and OC went to the Creek.
Athena and I scoped around until we found it unguarded. They can't be that stupid… I thought to myself.
"Check the trees and the bushes. Use your mom's hat"
She nodded putting on the tattered Yankees cap on turning invisible. I took the hair clips out my hair letting it fall down to my back.
They then grew into their normal shape as the blades. I advanced toward the Flag. I looked around and didn't see anyone, so I reached to take it.
"Wouldn't do that if I were you." I heard someone say I turned and saw spencer land next to me. He's airborne… how could I forget that. I thought to myself.
"Don't move," he said to me.
"Yea, I'm so scared" I tried to reach out my arm but it wouldn't move. Then I tried to step forward but that wouldn't work either.
"Charmspeak" I spat at him "Really?"
He laughed "ha, yea" he walked around me "Your cute when your irritated"
"Then I'm about to be fucking gorgeous. Quit it, Grace"
"Alright you can move," he said "Only because here comes Tristan with your flag" he said pointing.
Spencer
Phoenix has definitely changed. For the better, but she's changed.
She wasn't the 6-yr. old that I used to have play dates with as a child. She was the 16 year old I really wanted to date now.
Her old curly untamed hair was smooth and sleek, tied up by 2 long blue clips. Her braces were gone. And she didn't wear glasses anymore, so you could see her giant brown eyes.
She was beautiful.
But right now she was angry.
"What? I don't lose. I never lose!" she said angrily.
"You kind of, just did" my younger brother Tristan said, waving around the shredded blue flag when you waved it, it looks like actual waves in the Ocean.
"Ugh" she screamed grabbed our flag and broke it over her knee. She tried to advance at him but something restricted her, then I realized it was her friend Athena when she took off the invisibility hat.
Perseus and Oceana were running toward her.
"Phone it's not worth it. Come on" Oceana said grabbing Phoenix's other hand and the three of them walked to the Poseidon cabin. She was screaming stuff in Spanish as she left.
"Descendientes estúpidos de Júpiter! i va a terminar! el culo es mío!" she shouted as her friends tugged her into the Cabin, her hands erupting in flames.
"What did she say?" I asked her brother.
"Stupid descendants of Jupiter! I will end you! Your asses are mine" he said, bluntly. "Well, see you at dinner"
"Wow, what a bitch" Tristan scoffed. I punched him in the arm. "Ow, What was that for?"
"Dude…" I said, quietly. "I think I'm in love"
