A new beginning
Chapter One: I get hit with Zeus's master bolt
The day I got hit with Zeus's lighting was the day I met Percy Jackson. I know what you're thinking. Holy crap you survived Zeus's wrath? What the hell? Well honestly at the time I was thinking that too. It only hit my leg so honestly it's not like I would have died, but I'll have a bad leg now. But let's get onto Percy Jackson and how he caused all of this shall we?
It started as a normal day at camp half-blood hill, and then HE came. Oh boy. He caused quite the ruckus with this ridiculous prophecy the last alive oracle told. The oracle we have right now it an undead mummy. The oracle basically said that one of children of the big three (Zeus, Hades, or Poseidon) would either save Mount Olympus or destroy it. We found out that Percy here is a son of Poseidon. I thought to myself I guess that silly undead oracle was right. At that time I had forgotten the line about a friend of the child of the prophecy gets hit my Zeus's lightning bolt, don't judge me. I wasn't even supposed to know the prophecy at all. This is where it gets interesting.
Oh my gods I forgot to introduce myself haven't I? Well better late than never eh? My name is Saren, It's although I am sometimes addressed as Sae. I've spent almost all of my life here, 12 years, and haven't been claimed yet. I've begun to think that I'm a child of a minor god. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, about how I learned of the prophecy. You see, I learned from Chiron (he didn't know I was spying on him, bless his soul!) that the mummy oracle wears a necklace holding the prophecy around her neck. So being the slightly idiotic and rebellious person I am, I went in the basement of the big house to find the oracle.
So I went creeping down to the basement, when I heard someone following me. I thought it was Chiron or Percy but it was the oracle up and walking like an undead mummy. It was a little creepy. So I said "Hey, how ya doing oracle? You're looking good for an undead mummy and all!" The oracle said "What are you here for child? I know you are not on a quest yet, so why are you here?" I thought for a moment and then realized that she said yet, meaning I was going on a quest. I was just possibly a little excited. So then I told the oracle how I heard Chiron talking about you having the prophecy around her neck and I asked her if I could take a look at it. She took the prophecy out of the necklace, read it a little and then said"well you are mentioned here, so I don't see why not." Saying that I was happy was an understatement.
I read the prophecy over and over again until I memorized it, knowing I'd never see the document again.
Then I came up out of the basement, and Chiron caught me. I got kitchen duty for three weeks. Oh what fun I had doing THAT. He didn't even seem that mad when he caught me. I think he just gave me the kitchen duty Because the god of whine was in the room. After HE left, Chiron said "Wow Saren I never knew you were so sneaky! Good work. But next time don't let me catch you." And then he gave me a big smile and hugged me. I strangled out of his affection and said as I always said" NO HUGS!" It's possible I'm a bit claustrophobic…. Also possible I overreacted a little..
So after memorizing the great prophecy, I set out to find Percy and befriend him.
The problem with that was, I'm not exactly a people person. I knew that this would be a difficult job to do, so I enlisted the help of Annabeth Chase, who was a daughter of Athena, and she helped me lead his tour of camp half-blood hill. So I got to see what he liked and didn't like and so on. He ended up being on my capture the flag team, but someone left him all alone on the left flank, but I couldn't do anything about it. I asked Annabeth if I could help Percy, him being new and all so she said yes. I joined him and those usually dumb Ares kids found only two people guarding the flank, and attacked us. I took down about 10 of them, and then Percy used his water powers from Poseidon to kick the rest of their butts. It was the most fun I had playing capture the flag in months! Shortly after that Percy was claimed by Poseidon. "Lucky! I have been here 12 years and no claim on me!" I sighed. Then I did something really strange. I hugged him.
We were walking back from the forests, and I noticed that it was getting stormy outside. I wasn't worried at the time. I said to Percy "We'd better get in fast." I looked up and it started raining. I started to dance in the rain, and Percy said "what in the name of Poseidon are you doing Saren?" I laughed and said "I was dancing until you stopped me." "Why?" he said. I sighed and said "It's an Indian rain dance. It's meant to STOP rain Percy." I looked up and it started shooting lighting. I yelled "COME ON!" Then I saw a lightning bolt shoot towards Percy and pushed him out of the way and then screamed.
I passed out, so Percy told me all of this. After screaming in pain for a good three hours or so, I took one look at my burn marks and passed out. Percy then carried me to the sea laid me in it, and asked his dad to heal me best as he could. He said that "you've never done anything for me in my life, just do this for me". According to him, Poseidon said"I'm not Apollo, but I will try my best to save her life." "I warn you though my son. She will have a white scar over a large part of her leg." I woke up and told me what happened. I said "Percy, you barley know me, and you used your only favor from your dad to heal me. That's some loyalty." I smiled and hugged him again.
I looked at my new scar more carefully. I noticed that they had little waves on them. I laughed and said" Hey look Percy your dad left a little present for me!" He said" Wow! You got one cool scar there Saren!" We walked back to the main camp, where people had been looking for us for 5 hours. Chiron and Annabeth looked at my scar and thought it was cool. The Apollo cabin said I'd live and that I'd not even have a limp. I got over my claustrophobia and hugged everyone (even Clarisse!).
