Chapter 1: I Get Eaten by a Giant
Hi I'm Percy Jackson. Well of course you know who I am, Son of Poseidon, Killer of Kronos, and sadly Seaweed Brains. But those are just minor details.
I just love being a demigod. You make new friends, discover that ever thing you read about in class involving Greek mythology is true, even the deadly things, and finding out about powers that you can use to your whim.
And to be honest I would have to say that going on missions are the best thing about being a demigod. You gain experience, and you're given a bead every time you finish it that represents that mission.
I would have to say that my favorite mission has to be my most recent one. I remember that some harpies have been planning to terrorize some people in New York for sometime. Don't ask me why they were planning it, usually they just go and do it. So anyways it was up to me, Annabeth, and Grover.
Annabeth is my girlfriend ever since I defeated Kronos. Its still feels pretty weird saying that, even though we've been going out for some time now. I've know her ever since I first started at camp. She's also the daughter of Athena, which make her smart and easy to come to if you have a problem.
I haven't been able to spend a whole bunch of time with her, because after defeating Kronos she was appointed to redesign Olympus anyway she wants. Annabeth with Daedalus's files and a construction crew under her control, that's a dangerous thing.
And than there's Grover, my best friend. Before I met Annabeth, Grover was the only friend I had.
When he decided to tell me that he was a satyr I freaked, but I got over it in time. He's still my best friend today, even though sometimes he has to cancel on me because of a meeting with the Council of the Cloven Elders. Hey, that what you get when you hang out with the satyr that helped win the war.
Sure the beginning of the mission was a piece of cake, but that part was a little blurry. All I remember was in the middle of the mission we were running towards a forest yelling and screaming…
"Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run!" I said while looking back to see if everybody is okay. Grover was running so fast that he would have pasted me up if it wasn't for all those tin cans and burritos. Annabeth running side-by-side with me with her blonde hair blowing in the wind.
When I turn around I see three harpies, giant, ugly, vicious birds, chasing after us, and a giant the size of five elephants yelling and screaming to our certain deaths. The four of them where right on our tails like stink on a skunk.
I knew we couldn't run for long so it was time to play my favorite game. "Ok guys are you ready?" I asked huffing with little breath. Annabeth looked at me like I was crazy asking, "Ready for what?"
"It's time for some Whack a Monster."
Now everyone knows what the game of "whack a mole" is. For mortals it's a game where various types of mole pop out of know where and you have to hit it on the head with a mallet. But for us demigods we found a more efficient way to play.
It's real easy; we split up and camouflage ourselves with our new clothing armor the Hephaestus cabin built for the camp. And when they least expect it we jump out and slice and dice.
Annabeth went right and two harpies followed after her. Grover starts running in the opposite direction of the monsters, passing up the giant and the harpy. The giant and the harpy stop for a moment to think. They were a little confused I guess but in the end the harpy chased after him. Leaving me with the honor of fighting the big, fat, ugly giant.
Do you know how hard it is to hide from something that always has the higher ground? Very. But luckily we knew something like this would happen, so we ended up falling out of the woods and into plain sight, but away from any mortals.
Apparently as you can see I didn't follow the "Whack a Monster" rule. And to be honest I've been a little boastful ever since we've defeated Kronos. I mean come on, the first demigods ever to defeat the leader of all the titans.
I waited for the giant out there in the darkness of the night. I drew out Riptide, my pen, uncapped it, and it became a long and heavy, but manageable, sword. The blade glistened even in the dark of its bronze glory. I've used that sword ever since I first started camp and happy to say I still use it today.
In battle stance I waited for him to come out, or maybe something to happen. I started getting so bored I might have been hallucinating. I started hearing voices of my friends that had died. First I heard Charles Beckendorf's voice, son of Hephaestus; he said something about how we would stand tall after the war. Sad part is he died during the first mission of the war.
Next voice I heard Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite; she was telling me how much she loves Charlie, and would never do anything to hurt him. Shocking as it was she was a secret agent for Kronos during the war, but she died defending Olympus. Beckendorf would be proud.
The third voice that came to me was Bianca di Angelo, daughter of Hades; I remember her saying that she wanted me to give him a mini statue for her little brother Nico di Angelo. The statue was part of a game called Mytho-Magic she found in Hephaestus junkyard, but she never made it out to see her brother.
After hear that voice another one came to me as Zoë Nightshade, daughter of Atlas; she said, "Star's, I can see the stars again." Zoë died by her fathers hand, and those were her last words.
The more I thought about it the more voices I heard in my head. The voices kept rushing in until there was this one voice that seemed to stop all of the others. His voice alone would tear the flesh right off your bones, it would pierce your very heart, and it would bring your darkest fear to reality. The voice kept repeating the same word softly until it turned into a voice I had not heard in years. The only thing the voice said was, "Percy."
I looked up to the sky and creamed the persons name aloud for the world to hear, "Kronos!"
All I heard after that was his sick evil laughter that you couldn't keep out of your head.
I was so distracted I forgot all about the giant, and with a swift motion he swooped me up and held me like a rag doll.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha," he laughed uncontrollable. "So what now little demigod? Are you going to kill me just like you did with your friend, Luke?"
I was so angry I started swiping at him with my sword, but it's kind of hard to focus when you're being swung around like ruler on a pencil upside down. Luke was my second best friend at the beginning of camp, but after recovering the master lightning bolt he revealed himself to be the lightning thief, and to be working for Kronos.
During the war Kronos was using his body to kill us. Luke saw the error o his ways and struck himself in his "Achilles' Heel". A monster dies a hero.
"First off you don't talk like that about Luke." I threatened him. "Secondly Luke killed himself to save us all, gods rest his soul. He died a hero among demigods."
"Blah, blah, blah. All I know is that he ruined our chances for roaming freely among the human world. Now we still need to hide in the shadows, in our disguises. Now you and every other demigod or helpers of the gods will perish. Starting with the mighty Son of Poseidon. And guess what, I'm a little hungry right now."
I hung they with my mouth opened wide knowing exactly what he was going to do.
"You're going to eat me?"
"That's right half-blood. My assistants the harpies should already be eating at your friend's flesh right now; one more demigod wouldn't hurt the list."
The giant raised his hand over his head, looked up and opened his big, stinky, breath mint needing mouth wide. I tried reaching for Riptide but by the time I was two inches away from it he dropped my right inside. He didn't even chew, he just swallowed me whole.
I thought I was finished, that there was no way I would get out. As I was falling I started blacking out, while doing so I could see my sword shining into a bright light. Then it just faded and everything went dark.
It was crazy. My eyes weren't open but I could see Luke, Bianca, Zoë, Beckendorf, Silena, Castor, son of Dionysus, Daedalus, son of Athena, Ethan Nakamura, son of Nemesis, and Lee Fletcher, son of Apollo, standing right in front of me. All my dead friends were standing right in front of me. I stood up and started walking towards them, and in the process I saw someone move forward in the crowd.
When he got to the front of the crowd I saw a twelve year old kid just standing there. He had sea green eyes, black hair, a sword in his hand, and a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt on. I stood their stunned at what I was seeing, because what I saw was unbelievable. It was me when I first started Camp Half-Blood.
He turned to the crowd and pointed at Bianca first. Right then he started growing older until he looked exactly like me.
"Bianca." He said. Or, I said, I think.
Right then Bianca just faded away. I looked in awe as he just made her disappear. Then he pointed at Zoë.
"Zoë." He said next.
By saying that she disappeared as well. He went on and on in the exact order they died. Next were Daedalus, and then Castor, Lee, Beckendorf, Silena, Ethan, and then finally Luke. Which was the saddest one to watch leave.
The other Percy turned towards me and had a dark expression on his face.
"All those people had to did just so that you could save the day. Well congratulation hero."
A tear went down my face as I said, "I've made peace with them. I know they didn't want this but they died defending what they love the most. To protect Olympus."
"Oh Percy, if only you had joined the titans when you had the chance. They would all be alive. They would've created a new world order and with you as in second command."
I looked at him for a second, because what I was hearing this guy didn't sound like me at all. When he looked up I saw his eyes piercing yellow. Just like Luke's did when he was under the control of Kronos.
I was stunned just by looking at him but what he said really got to me next.
"Percy, the titans will rise, and you will lead them into victory."
After that he just kept repeating my name. The voice started to change and my eyes started to open. Over me I see Annabeth and Grover shaking me and giving me some nectar to heal.
I sat up slowly and looked around to see what was going on. I turned behind myself and saw that giant was slowly disappearing, but I was able to see a cut in him across the belly.
I turned to them and gave them my thanks for helping me out of it. The two looked stared at each other for a few seconds in confusion, and Grover said, "Um Percy, we didn't let you out."
I looked at them like they were crazy. I looked back at the giant and saw that it had vanished. I looked into my hand to check Riptide and just by looking at the blade I saw the giant's blood all over it.
I looked back at Grover and he said, "You killed him."
I started to feel a little crazy myself. I don't remember anything; all I do remember is being swallowed and blacking out. Is it possible for Riptide to control itself? Maybe that's why I saw it shining.
As the two were helping me up Annabeth whistled for our rides to arrive. I look up at the sky to see three Pegasus flying down at us. The side ones were white, but the black one in the middle was my Pegasus, Blackjack. I rescued him off of Kronos's ship back in the day.
Being the son of Poseidon, creator of horse, I was able to communicate with him. Yo boss, how did the mission go, he asked inside my head. I told him, I don't remember. I blacked out when he ate me.
Not asking any more questions except for our location, we jumped of the Pegasus back and headed back towards Camp Half-Blood.
Suddenly the Pegasus started changing course to the sky.
Hey Blackjack, what's going on? We're suppose to be going back to camp.
I know boss but, something tells me to go up here.
We finally burst through the clouds and into the heavens of Olympus. The land of the Gods, and the most beautiful place you could ever see. Coincidently we landed outside of the Temple of the Gods.
The place was so big it was made us look like ants. We entered the throne room where I see two gods stand before us, and two of our friend standing next to each throne.
The one on the right had a bow and arrow hung around her throne and a deer necklace around her. It was a no brainier that it was Artemis.
Standing next to her throne was her trusty lead huntress, daughter of Zeus, and famously known Pinecone Face, Thalia Grace.
During her first appearance at camp she was turned into a tree by Zeus. A few years passed and the tree became sick, so we went to get the Golden Fleece to recover it. Not only did it get well but it released Thalia from the tree. She later joined Artemis's Huntress as their lead Huntress.
Standing next to the left throne was the son of Hades himself in the flesh, Nico di Angelo.
Back when his sister died he did a lot of growing up. He blamed me for his sister's death. Bianca's ghost later told him that he had to lay her to rest, and as hard as it was to do he did it. He forgave me and I've fought by his side ever since.
And finally in the throne to the left was a tall man with black hair, sea green eyes, and a blue Hawaiian shirt.
I bowed before him and said, "Hi, dad."
"Hello Percy."
"Not to feel ungrateful or anything but, why did you change our course from Camp Half-Blood to Olympus?"
Poseidon took and steady look at Artemis and she finally said, "We need your help."
"What do you need our help with?"
She looked down for a second and replied, "It's my daughter."
