Perhaps I should introduce myself. I'm Jocelyeus, minor goddess if heat, daughter of Aphrodite and Apollo (don't ask me how…). Trust me; both Hephaestus and Ares were pretty pissed about that… I think Aphrodite might have been drunk?
Okay. You might say that I inherit my father's hot, um sun abilities and my mother's beauty. The only difference, I managed to be actually smart.
Yeah, I know it sounds mean, but you must admit it's true.
There's also another difference. I actually take time to look at life and love. I know it's doesn't seem like me by judging my family tree. But trust me, I observe life everyday! I probably have seen you around.
My other interests: I love BOOKS! I'm practically in Athena's library all day. Also, I like to hunt with a bow and arrow, another thing I inherited from my dad. My Aunt Artemis tutors me and I've been doing great. Something I've noticed is that Athena's also my aunt. Weird…There is something that racks my brain.
THE OLYMPIAN FAMILY TREE IS SO CONFUSING!
Well, I've been taught about the major changes that have happened. I should also explain my age. I'm only 9. That is my literal age, not the way I make myself look. (A/N: THAT IS NOT MY AGE!) I was born shortly after the attack on Olympus in secret. Now, the only people that know about me are the major gods and a few of the minor gods.
Well, I don't have a lot of control of what I say. Let's just say I tend to get off topic easily, like I just did. As I was saying earlier, I've been taught about the different events that have happened, aka, Kronos's attack on Olympus, that I never witnessed, and Gaea's attack against the Gods and the little demigods.
Finishing up my likes and history: I love the color green. I think cats are adorable. DIET COKE RULES, but not as much as ambrosia and nectar! I like to play the flute on occasion, and finally, I'm being trained to be one of the major gods! I'll be sitting on Olympus! WOW!
So today, my grandpa, Zeus, summoned me to the Throne Room. As I crept into the room, I was stared down at by all the gods, well, except for my grandpa Hades. Well, Technically he's my grandpa's brother, but I don't really care. Heck, I'm only nine years old!
"Yes, grandfather?" I asked innocently.
"Today you'll begin your training." He said looking around the room and avoiding my gaze.
"What do you mean? My first quest? Or should I call it a task? Mission?" I ask. Zeus sighs.
"Yes, your mission. Whatever you really want to call it. Technically, it's a test." Zeus says. "You have to travel to Camp Half-Blood and heat up the lava sinks."
"Lava sinks? They wash their dishes with lava?" I ask frantically as everyone laughs at me.
"Don't worry, child," Aphrodite calmed me, "You're a goddess, so you shouldn't get burned." There were some giggles from the others. "Oh Hush up, Hermes!"
"Hey, be sure to meet your brothers and sisters." Apollo tells me.
"Are they gods too?"
"um, ah no… they have mortal other parents…" Athena laughs.
"Just saying, the first sister you should meet is Elida." Apollo whispered to me.
"Okay, any daughters of you, mom?" I asked Aphrodite.
"Yeah, meet Piper! She's real nice. Not like Drew, she was just horrible! I wanted to disown her once she was elected the cabin councilor!" Aphrodite shrieks.
"Well noted. So um, I just like appear there and um heat up the lava?" I ask grandfather.
"Yeah, now hop to it!" Hera says annoyed.
"Okay, and I don't mean to annoy you, grandma…" I tell her.
"Don't call me that! It makes me feel old!" she scolds.
"Sorry…" and I flee to get to the camp.
...
I appear outside the armory, where people are busting about. I saw children of Hephaestus sharpening tools and creating ones as well. There were many Ares kids destroying dummies. The Aphrodite children were weaving some traps. Wow losers…and sorry mom…I saw Athena's offspring, how I don't know since she's a virgin and is planning to be like that for the next a million years, planning under a fancy tent. I didn't see any Grandpa Poseidon's kids or Grandpa Hades' or even Grandpa Zeus' children either. Lastly, I saw the Apollo kids shooting arrows that blew up, thanks to the Hephaestus cabin for creating them.
"Hi, um I'm looking for Elida!" I yell at them as an arrow explodes.
"Elida? Why would you want to see her?" A boy asks.
"OH Shut up Chris! You're only acting like that because I'm awesome!" A pale skinned girl with short strait blond hair and a hedgehog in her pocket says as she trots over to me.
"Sorry!" The boy, Chris says and starts firing again.
"So what can I do for you?" Elida asks as she fiddles with her fingernails.
"Yeah, I'm your sister. Apollo wanted me to meet you! He said you were his favorite," I tell her.
"You actually met him? You're like 7 years old!" she comments as she focuses on me and not her nails.
"Nine. Not seven."
"Oh whatever…you're so lucky!" Elida says.
"Also do you know where Piper is?" I ask her.
"An Aphrodite kid? Yeah. Over there. PIPER!" Elida says.
"What?" she says as she comes over.
"She wants to talk to you, oh never got your name. What is it?"
"Jocelyeus…" I tell her.
"That, um, cool?" she says.
"What do you need? You're actually really pretty! Did you know?" Piper says.
"You seem different from them. I'm glad I have a sister like you!" I say.
"Wow! Wait you said I'M your sister!" Elida yells.
"Yeah I am. She is too!" I reply.
"YOU'RE A GODDESS!" Elida yells a little too loud so everybody turned to look at me.
"Yeah…" I say quietly.
"How is that scrawny weakling a goddess?" A girl from the Ares group says.
"You're going to make the gods angry, Clarisse!" An Athena girl came over.
"A shut up Bridgette! Just go back to Ana and Maria!" Clarisse yells and storms away.
"This is awkward, I'm going to get going to the lava sinks now…" I say hopelessly and begin to walk away.
"Why are you going there?" To guys come over and ask.
"Tony? Davido? What's it to you?" Another child comes over. His hands are burnt. Child of Hephaestus.
"Sam! Shut up! It isn't your problem either!" Bridgette says. "I'm going to go to Maria and Ana. Just call Annabeth and Percy. They'll take you there."
"No they got in trouble and they are their right now…" Elida commented.
"Then Get Manny and Lauren to take her!" Bridgette yelled behind her shoulder as she met up with a curly brown haired girl and a long blond haired girl; all three with gray eyes.
"Please, can you just take me to whoever is escorting me to the lava sinks? I'm a pit impatient." I say, obviously irritated. I balled my fists and stared at a camper. Instantly, he burst into flames.
"Where is a son of Poseidon when you need one, get Percy!" Piper yelled.
"Oh crap! I think that was me!" I say. "Goddess of heat! Tell him I'm so sorry!" I dash from the scene but I bump into a centaur.
"Hello, lady Jocelyeus!" Chiron smiles warmly.
"You know who I am?" I ask.
"Why of course—" he spies the kid in flames.
"Yeah sorry about that, I don't know how to do anything!"
"Get him to the water! And then the Infirmary!" he yells.
"Can someone take me to the lava sinks?" I yell but everyone looks scared of me.
"Leo! Go! You can't be harmed by fire!" someone yells.
"Fine! I'll go!" he steps from the Hephaestus crowd. "This way, heat…"
I stared at him with disgust…but I sighed and followed him.
…
"Here it is…" he said as we approached a building.
"Okay, um thanks Leo." I smiled warmly which seemed to lift his spirits and he smiled back before bowing. "Don't do that please. I'm like 8 years younger than you…and your bowing to me…" He nods and leaves.
When I open the door, all I smell is toxic fumes.
"What the!" I ask. Two heads turn toward me.
"Why are you in here? You're like seven!" A black haired boy with green eyes asks. It's Percy. Son of Poseidon.
"NINE! How many times do I have to say that?" I focus on the bread, realizing I'm hungry and it bursts into flames. "So that's how I did it…" I whispered to myself.
"WOW! How'd you do that?" The blond haired girl asked. Gray eyes. It's Annabeth, daughter of Athena.
"I'm a goddess." I say, "Minor goddess. Do you need help?" I ask referring to the lava brick that their hands were stuck in.
"Um yeah, we were punished and it like cooled down on our hands so we're stuck here…" Percy says.
"Okay?" I ask. I focused on the brick of lava. Nothing happened. Then I tried an experiment.
"Make me mad somehow…" I command.
"First, who's your parents, Percy can make a joke from that…" Annabeth suggests.
"Aphrodite and Apollo." I say, still focused on the brick.
"Really? That's hilarious!" Percy says. "How on Olympus did that happen?"
"Aphrodite was drunk."
"Wow! That must have been the weirdest thing for Aphrodite! Probably worse for Ares and Hephaestus!" Percy laughs again. "I wonder if it was only a one night stand!"
I could feel a little irritation and anger appear. I focused hard on the lava and it began to glow orange. Percy stopped laughing to observe. The brick melted and there was lava again. They pulled their hands out and breathed a sigh of relief. I, however, felt very dizzy and I literally fainted.
The next morning I was in the infirmary. A plate of ambrosia and a glass of nectar sat right next to my bed. I yawned and grabbed the glass and drank the heavenly sweetness. I peered around and found a boy wrapped in bandages. He was obviously the boy I burnt.
"Sorry about that," I said to him, not even knowing if he was awake.
"'s ok…" the glob of human mumbled back to me.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Manny…" he said back.
"OH! You were the guy that Britney we talking about!" I said.
"It's Bridgette…" he replied.
"Oh, sorry…"
I healed quickly and ate the ambrosia.
"I think you should get back to Olympus, little one…" Chiron said nicely. "I'm sure we'll see you again soon."
"Again! I'm really sorry Manny, and yeah, glad to have met you all…" there were some distant murmurs in the crowd but I didn't feel like having them all burst into flames. SI I just left.
"Um, why did you set Manny on fire?" Dionysus said. "He was a good kid! And so was his mother…"
"Shouldn't you be back at camp?" Grandpa Zeus asked.
"Crap, she saw me!" And with that Dionysus left.
"So?" I asked.
"Well, you helped Percy and Annabeth, but you caught Manny on fire, so you only get half credit…"
"What!" I asked.
"The next test is tomorrow!" and with that he left.
"Does he always have a bad temper?" I asked Apollo.
"Yep! You should get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow…" he giggled a bit.
"Ugh," I said and I staggered off to my chambers. My Zebra print chambers, courtesy of Demeter and the muses. I slumped into my bed and fell asleep, dreaming of being on the council.
