Hi,
I´m new here and normally from Germany. So if a few things aren´t so correct in the language don´t be too angry. I´ll try my best.
Actually I´ve wrote this in German and then translated it into english. I hope, you like it! :)
Best wishes, Laura :**
Poseidon Point of View:
I blinked startlet, when I suddenly stood in front of the gates of Camp Half-Blood. Zeus had just held his boring gods councel, in which we were discussing the consequences of the war against Gaia, who honestly is back in her coma thanks to Percy and his friends, and all of sudden I and a few other teenagers were standing in front of the camp, where my son lives over the holidays.
„What the Hades are we doing here and … why are we all so young and … demigods?", Apollo stuttered. He looked just like the typical Sunnyboy – blonde hair, blue eyes and tanned skin – at the age of 17 like all of us.
The forest floor was wet, which is why a few puddles have built and in one of them I could see my reflection: My black hair, the green eyes, were exactly the same as always, but I was, how I said, younger...
Apollo was right. I didn´t feel the usual power and strength as before. We gods were all turned into teenagers...
„Oh dear, it´s so awful muddy here! My lovely shoes!", wailed Aphrodite pathetic and inspected her High Heels, which now were bown instead of red. „Somebody has cursed or charmed us. Has someone a proposition, what we are doing ...-", Zeus´s voice was interrupted by a thirty-year-old woman, who said: „I know, what you are thinking, but it wasn´t only me, sunshine. We minorgods got together to bring you back on the ground of the facts.", Hekate explained smiling.
„That´s impossible!", I said, „You haven´t enough power to make something like that.",
„Maybe you´re right, Poseidon, but Kratos helped make it happen. This action is not only stubborn thought, but also so you can see what kind of scars the wars have left to your children. It would have been so much easier if you Olympian gods would have once possessed the guts to help them. Think out names, mix with the halfbloods and get to know your children. We will take over your duties on Mount Olympus. I wish you much fun!"
Then Hecate disappeared with a PLOPP !, while Ares was furious. "My goodness, Ares, you should even try to make a cereal diet. It soothes and is good for your figure.", Demeter giggled, who seemed the whole thing obviously to mind.
I for myself had rather mixed feelings about it. Actually, it was a good idea, but it made me more stomachache, how we should cope. Und wenn ich daran dachte, dass ich Percy sehen würde, machte sich bei mir auch ein komisches Gefühl im Magen breit.
"Just stay away from me with your fucking cereal!", Ares growled. "Serenity Now!", Athena interjected, "We are now all looking for an alias and then go to the camp." Even if I had no desire to follow Athenas commands she was right.
After a few minutes the names were fixed:
Zeus - Zack
Poseidon - Pete
Athene - Angie
Ares - Al
Aphrodite - April
Hephaestus - Hank
Hera - Henriette
Artemis - Aria
Demeter - Debby
Apollo - Antoine (I swear, we tried to convince him to choose a different name, but noooooo, the princess didn`t want to ...)
Hermes - Hayden
"Ok, and always remember: Our children may not know who we are. That would get around and would be a strategic weakness. Monster would hunt us. ", Athena urged and then we shook our fate out.
Immediately a few demigods came to meet us. Among them I recognized Piper, the daughter of Aphrodite and one of the acclaimed seven heroes. "Hey, everything okay? Are there still monsters out there? ", She asked in a firm voice.
Hermes cleared his throat and said, "I think we're doing ... mediocre. Was pretty awesome, the journey here. So funny feathered vulture or so have followed us. But they´re flown away once we have crossed the border. ", Said the god of travelers. I bought him really off, how much anxiety he had yet tried to be strong.
"Why are you so many?", A brown-haired girl, Clarisse, as I found out, looked confused us. "There are at most three, who arrive here. Not eleven. ", " What shall we do? "Asked Piper.
Clarisse looked at each of us closely, "Fetch Percy. Maybe he knows what's going on." At the name of my son, my entire pride, I winced. That could be fun ... immediately some demigods ran, going to fetch Percy, most went back to their daily activities, only Piper and Clarisse were still there. Two Halfbloods – brothers, who seemed to be twins, what they are not – came up to us. Well-trained guys with curly brown hair and blue eyes.
"Welcome to Camp", the brothers had a mischievous twinkle in their eyes and Connor told Ares: "By the gods! Ave you thought about gaining a different Haircut? This military section acts like a bald head. I'm sure Piper and her girls could give you a few tips. Looks like a bird's nest. " Angrily Ares wanted to reach for his dagger that hung at his hip, but he was gone.
"Looking for this?" Grinned Travis, holding a bronze knife with black leather handle in his hand. Jeez, who thought, that they are really that good ... I decided to be particulary carful in their presence. Ares wanted to take the dagger from his hand, but the 18 - year old was faster ... and bigger. The god of war couldn´t reach his weapon. Travis threw it to Connor, but Piper caught him in midair. "Stop it! We have better things to do than to steal other people their things, Stoll! "
The brunette handed Ares his knife. "What? Waiting for Percy? That could take a few more minutes. He just gives swordplay lessons. He prematurely terminated that only in absolute emergencies." Travis said. "Can someone please explain to us why we are here? And who is Percy?" Asked Aphrodite, now known as April. "What are your names at all?" One by one we introduced us, then the demigods told us their names.
Clarisse told us that all the Greek myths were true and so, but I listened with half an ear. Only when this one name came up, I raised my head. "His whole name is Perseus Jackson, but everyone calls him only Percy. He has led us in the second titanic war against Kronos. Without his guidance we would have lost. 40 demigods, 40 hunters, a few centaurs and satyrs against a monster army of about 4,000 men. By the gods, I still do not know how we managed to do that... "Connor told amazingly serious, shaking his head in disbelief at the end.
"He was also one of the magnificent Seven and has Gaia sung with the other demigods back to sleep. By the way one of them is our sweet Piper here. Beware, she dominates charming speech and can get you to break in the Arescabin. Absolute suicide. And not just for the eyes because of the facility." Grinned Travis, while Piper got pink cheeks. "That was because I was mad at you. You've finally tucked my things and rolled the bed with pink toilet paper. "
I felt the pride about my son more and more, but the amusement made now once through me. The camp seemed to be really funny and friendly. "Well anyway, Percy's really cool. You will like him," drew the Stoll - twin on the topic. I heard Ares snorting and Athena shook his head almost imperceptibly. "Where we just talk about him ..." Clarisse interrupted Travis, "... there he comes."
And indeed, he came out of the amphitheater, about a hundred meters away and headed straight towards us. My son Percy Jackson.
AN: You don´t have to remember the god´s names. It will be written in brackets in the following chapters.
