George!
Hey everybody this DoveofSoulAndLife.
So we have this assignment in science to make a comic about the stages an object goes through (in this case copper). It has nothing to do with the stages of gas, liquid or solid I think. So The Lone Walker and I came up with the basic beginning but I'm turning it into a story. This is where the idea came from. Multi-chapter story.
This has nothing to do with Hermes snake George.
Just a funny random story that you can read.
Credit also goes to The Lone Walker.
I do not own the gods and Goddesses or Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
On to the story. Remember to Review.
Apollo was just walking and enjoying the sun that he controlled, when he tripped and landed face first. He looked at what he tripped over and found a strange brownish red lump. Apollo decided this object was something he never seen before. Of course being curious as he is he decided to take this lump to his friend/half-brother Hermes.
He came up to Hermes as he was checking out girls.
"Hermes guess what I found?" Apollo called.
"A girl? Is she hot? Where is she?" Hermes demanded.
"What no! It's not a girl. It's a thing-a-ma-bob." Apollo replied.
"Is the thing-a-ma-bob hot?
Of course any normal person would face-palm in this situation. Since Apollo was slightly normal at that moment he did exactly that.
"What? Excuse me for being curious." Hermes huffed.
"I found it when I tripped over it" Apollo said.
"Tripped doing what?" Hermes asked missing the point completely.
"Something…. Moving on" Apollo said clearly getting across that he did not want to talk about how he tripped.
Apollo pulled out the rock from a pocket that wasn`t there a moment ago.
"What is that?" Hermes asked
"I told you I don't know what is so that's why I'm calling it a thing-a-ma-bob. Sheesh pay attention" Apollo huffed
Hermes had no idea what it was either.
"Dude let's take it to Athena. She's a know-it-all." Hermes suggested.
"Good idea" Apollo agreed, and with that they were off.
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
At Olympus…
"Athena! Athena! Look at what I found!" Hermes exclaimed.
When he saw the glare Apollo was giving him he added, "Apollo was also part of the discovery. Because he is epic… Please don't hurt me…. Mommy!"
"Apollo stop making Hermes stain his pants." Athena ordered.
"What does that mean?" Hermes asked.
Apollo at that moment stopped smirking/glaring to face-palm along with Athena.
"What? Why does everyone keep face-palming around me?" Hermes asked annoyed.
"Ignoring that last couple of seconds. What have you to found?" Athena asked
"For the last time people. I said this twice already. I have no idea what in the Hades it is. Why do you think I call it a-"Apollo began
"He has no idea what it is" Hermes interrupted.
"Sheesh Hermes no need to cut me off like that!" Apollo huffed.
"Then show me what it is" Athena said.
Again Apollo pulled the rock out of a pocket that wasn't there a second ago.
"I call it George!" Apollo exclaimed with enthusiasm.
"….."
"What it's original!"
"Okayyy… What you have there is copper" Athena declared.
"No its George! I think I told you that already" Apollo retorted.
"What? No! Not the name. I mean that the rock that you have is copper." Athena corrected
"Oh"
"What can you do with it" Hermes asked.
"Well mortals use it to make coins, jewellery and such" Athena replied.
"How?" both boys asked being remotely stupid.
"Well the heat it up so it melts and shape it into what they want." Athena replied
"No! No! No! I will not melt George." Apollo said horrified.
"Well that's your choice. Now I must go stop Lord Zeus from wrecking a town" Athena said as she left.
But most likely she was going to argue with Aphrodite about how stupid she was. Then somebody has to step in so nobody gets hurt. (And not that nobody).
"Well that was..." Hermes began only to stop and stare at the horrendous sight before him.
Apollo was talking to the chunk of copper as if it was a baby.
"Who's a good boy? Daddy will take care of you. Daddy is amazing just like you."
"…."
"I won't let anyone melt you down to turn you into a necklace. Especially if it's Aphrodite. She has too much bling." Apollo cooed
Of course that would creep anyone out. Hermes of course was no exception.
"Dude, you need help I'm getting Artemis." Hermes declared
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
Somewhere else in Olympus
"Artemis!" Hermes called. "Apollo needs help. And I mean more than usual."
"What now Hermes?" Artemis asked clearly annoyed.
"Just follow me!' Hermes whined
"Why"
"Because, Apollo is gone bonkers!"
"He's always bonkers and crazy" Artemis retorted
"Follow me and you'll see what I mean" Hermes said.
Artemis eventually agreed. Even though she was hoping to help Athena with her argument with Aphrodite.
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
Back with Apollo
Artemis arrived to see the horrendous before her,
"Oh hey sis. Look at your newest nephew! Isn't he amazing? He just brings tears to my eyes" Apollo asked
"Apollo melt that hunk of metal down!" Artemis demanded
"Sis! How could you? This is your flesh and blood!" Apollo asked horrified
"Apollo that is not my flesh and blood! It's just a hunk of scrap metal!" Artemis said
Apollo covered "George's ears"
"Don't listen to her George. She's just jealous" Apollo cooed
Artemis and Hermes both face palmed.
"We are going to melt that rock down!" Artemis whispered to Hermes.
"Let's go ask Hephaestus he should have an idea's on how to melt it down"
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
At Hephaestus's forge
"Hephaestus! Hephaestus!" Hermes called
"Lava" Hephaestus said
"What?" Hermes asked
"Lava" Hephaestus said
"I don't get it" Hermes said
"While you were all exited and ranting on about destroying a hunk of metal. Artemis was wise to Iris-message me and tell me the situation." Hephaestus explained
"Oh"
"Wonder why she stayed at Olympus?" Hephaestus asked
"I thought she was going to fight with Aphrodite" Hermes replied
"Well that and she already knew the answer" Hephaestus explained.
"So I just get it into lava and it's going to go buh bye?" Hermes asked
"Well… yes"
"Ok I just need a plan…" Hermes said
He thought about it for a minute and snapped his fingers like when he has an epic prank or a brilliant idea.
He waved good bye to Hephaestus and left.
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
Back with Apollo… again
"Hey Apollo!" Hermes called. "I had a brilliant idea!"
"What is it?" Apollo asked completely oblivious to Hermes's devilish smirk.
"We should give…. George a bath!" exclaimed. "I mean he should be dirty from being stuck in the Earth so long"
"Your right" Apollo decided. "But I have no bath prepared."
"Well I already have one set up!" Hermes announced. "It's going to be… sizzling!"
Apollo and Hermes made their way over to the lava pool. Which Apollo thought was just water with special herbs and stuff that made it seem thick and red.
Being the sun God and all he's less sensitive to heat. Apollo dropped George into the water/lava to only see it melt.
"George!" Apollo cried
"Oh no!" Hermes fake cried. "The volcano must have exploded when I went to get you!"
After a minute of Apollo crying, he got up and said "I will to the Underworld and restore George's life."
"Are you crazy?" Hermes asked
"I might be." Apollo replied
Despite Hermes protesting and black-mailing him (using the fact that Apollo secretly has a Selena Gomez poster in his room that he always sings to and a dart board with Justin Bieber's face on it) Apollo left to go to the underworld by himself.
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
In the Underworld at Hades palace
"Uncle H!" Apollo called
"What now Apollo?" Hades asked clearly annoyed. "And no I do not want any sunshine down here!"
"I want the soul of George back" Apollo declared
Hades sighed and decided to play along with it. "What type? Animal? Human? What?"
"Athena says George belongs to a group called copper." Apollo said
"What?" Hades asked thinking this was a prank
"You heard me copper. Let me spell it out for you c-o-p-p-e-r, copper. Sheesh keep up Uncle H.
Hades tired with Apollo, just said "Sorry Apollo you're too late. He's too far gone for me to help him."
"Oh" with that he left
{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}***{}******************************************************************************
At George's funeral
Only Apollo and Hermes attended the funeral that was put together in five minutes.
"…You will be dearly missed George" Apollo said sadly.
Hermes put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Dude lets go down to Earth. Maybe pull a prank, check out a few girls" Hermes said
When Hermes said -girls- Apollo perked up and said "Peace out George." And left
So that was the story. Probably strange right? What do you think? There will be more coming. Please REVIEW. It means so much to me please?
