I'm going to write this story too because if i just have to write one thing and half of that one thing is a book I'll go crazy. This is after the war. I hope you enjoy!
Everyone was eating in the mess hall at camp half blood except Leo who was in bunker nine. Suddenly a bright flash appeared and disappeared. In its place was a grinning Apollo and confused Leo. The Apollo kids all bowed and after the shock, so did the rest. He chuckled. "I've found some songs about some of you. Apparently this person read books and wrote songs about you. And they're really good too!" Everyone exchanged confused looks. "There are books about us?" Jason asked. Apollo's eyes widened, like he'd just given away something huge. Apollo quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, this person, Gio Navas has written songs about all of you. And i would like you to sing them. Two days from now at a karaoke night. The ones that have songs written about them will sing those songs and 2 other songs i've picked that describe your past. This karaoke night is meant to show people what no one else knew. G'night." With those words said Apollo vanished and everyone was holding a slip of paper with their song titles on them.
Leo's P.O.V
Leo was really worried. He didn't want to share thingsabout himself. And what did Apollo mean by there were books about us? I had never told anyone about my past except Festus. And he would never tell a soul. He decided to dismiss the idea. He glanced down at his song titles.
Welcome to my life by Simple Plan
I'm just a kid by Simple Plan
Embers in the Sky by Gio Navas
Leo recognized two of them. He listened to them when he felt sad. The other one must of been from that person Apollo mentioned. He felt determined to not let the others see the names of his other songs. They couldn't know that he was broken, weak, and couldn't handle his mother's death. Lot's of people's family had died. He was just weak enough to let it bother him so much after all these years. He set off to the bunker so he could memorize that last song. He already memorized the other two with the amount of time he has listened to the them. And he could sing good contrary to popular belief. He had made a non monster detectable phone for himself right before Apollo had zapped him off. Leo had already made some for his friends, so they could search their own songs up. Leo searched the song on youtube and started playing the song. First there was guitar music. Then the words started up.
Teetering off the edge
A final sacrifice they said
My windows closing. I am burning
Ashes of a story unread
And i can taste the smoke
Settling like the last words I spoke
I close my eyes. Ready to die
A destiny can't be revoked
And i am
Embers in the sky
Glittering down
For when the time is right
I'm a fire, a wild flame
And you'll never forget my name
My blazing heart belongs to you
Please stop grieving, I'm coming soon
And at the end we stand
Love, storm, fire, whole again
Memories spin, uncoil within
I'm smiling till the very end
It's getting way too hot
A battle better left unfought
I'll see you on the other side
It has been one hell of a ride
And I am
Embers in the sky
Glittering down
For when the time is right
I'm a fire, a wild flame
And you'll never forget my name
My blazing heart belongs to you
Please stop grieving. I'm coming soon
Ahhh da dahhh ah dahh dahh dahh da da dahh da da da na
Hold your breath for one more second
This will all be over soon
Blood written predestination
Make this sacrifice for you
I'm extraneous and fighting
But I know i'm not pushed off
Stand together, till the end
It's not sacrifice without love
It's not sacrifice without love
And I am
Embers in the sky
Glittering down
For when the time is right
I'm a fire, a wild flame
And you'll never forget my name
My blazing heart belongs to you
Please stop grieving i'm coming soon(Yah)
Leo was fighting back tears by the time the song was over. It fit him perfectly. Apollo was right. This was amazing. And it fit perfectly with how he had been feeling.
2 days later everything was ready and everyone put their names in a hat. Will Solace picked one out to see who would go first. He picked one after rummaging around a bit and read the name out loud. "Leo Valdez!" Leo was shocked. He had to go first? He was a dead man. But he couldn't exactly disobey Apollo's order to sing. As he passed by he heard the whispers. Be prepared for the song 'Happy' and he probably has to sing one of those happy childhood songs. They thought he had it good huh? Then he noticed a screen behind him on the stage. "What's that?" he asked. Will looked at it. " Dad told us to put a screen there to show scenes from your childhood that relate to the song. Leo smirked. Yes he thought i'll show them.
