Okay… ever since I read stories about the Heroes of Olympus, I wanted to make mine ASAP. Hahaha xD PLUS! I'm going to make this like Rick Riordan's book! Hwahwahwa! I'm going to put some action scenes here too!
PERCY
Annabeth and I just got out of the horrible Tartarus and I don't want to EVER again go in there. But I escaped because of my girlfriend's good brain. (If she reads this she'll kill me.)
"Percy, how do we defeat Gaea's forces? Seven teenagers against a gazillion of them?! That would give me a severe heart attack on the battlefield…" Annabeth said, as she rested her head on my shoulder in the horizon.
I replied, "I don't know exactly how to say this but… I REALLY DON'T CARE how many they are. We just kill them. Plus, we have skilled fighters remember? We're not the only one. We got Frank to turn into something like a dinosaur or an elephant."
Athena's daughter chuckled softly. THAT sounded like music to my ears.
"What? What's funny?" I asked, confusingly.
She shook her head, "Nothing. It's just so amazing that you haven't changed since we were 12 years old. You're still the clueless Seaweed Brain I know."
I smirked, "Really? Was that a compliment?"
We laughed together. After that, we talked serious business.
"Maybe by now, Nico, Reyna and the satyr would be near Long Island."
I agreed, "Coach Hedge would be really a big problem if he messes up." I stroked some of my hair on the side of my face.
"At least, we got the Athena Parthenos. Maybe when it arrives at Camp Half-Blood, the statue would turn into Mother and helps us fight Gaea's children. Don't you think that idea is scary?" Annabeth told me.
I shrugged, "I don't know for sure… C'mon, let's stop talking about the problems shall we?"
I finally stood up on my feet and held out my hand for her.
She reached for it and followed me with the others.
Piper noticed us and said, "Hello guys. Welcome back. You talked for a long time haven't you?" She was cooking some hot soup from the boiling pot. That smells like the best thing in the whole world.
Her boyfriend, Jason, put an arm around her, "At least they had some time for each other right?"
She pouted, "But they had a lot of time… erm… DOWN THERE."
Hazel heard their conversation while feeding Arion some gold nuggets which she summoned from the ground. She explained that her ability was a "Pluto-thing". She didn't even seem like a son of Hades at all.
I scratched my head, "I guess you could say that. It was the most romantic walk we ever had."
Frank beamed, "Sounds tempting! Let's go Hazel!" he teased.
Piper, a daughter of Aphrodite teased, "Oh no, you don't!" she used charmspeak again.
Annabeth joined the laughter, "Guys, we should get some rest. We have a lot of training to do tomorrow and Leo?"
He popped his head out behind the bushes. Gods, he looked like a pathetic clown in brown make-up which was soil. "Yes?"
"You better make some interesting machines there." She winked at him.
He grinned, "No problem. I'm good at that anyway!" then he continued his dirty work. He was still pretty shaken up from the meeting with Calypso(he told us at the campfire last night). I still can't believe that she actually cursed me. I don't want to think of the arai. They really hurt a lot.
"Percy? You okay?" I escaped from my thoughts when Annabeth asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Let's go?"
"Yup."
As they said, demigods don't usually have good dreams so, here I go again…
I was seeing the earth goddess now almost in physical form.
Ah, I can feel the power… I would be almost ready to defeat the gods. I just need two bloods of their children. Suddenly, her face turned towards me and smiled creepily. Do you want to join me Percy Jackson? It's still not too late to change forces. You know that you can't defeat me right?
"I'll never join you Gaea. With my last breath, I'll defeat you." I told the goddess firmly.
As you wish. I can foresee that I'll win this battle… her body turned solid. The eyes and mouth are starting to form. Your foes are destined to die.
"They are not going to die. I'll protect them from YOU." I grabbed for Riptide from my pocket but it wasn't there at all.
Her laughing voice echoed through my dream, See what I can do Percy Jackson? I can kill you in a second when I fully awake with your blood.
Gaea's tone was really tempting that I was about to give in.
Give me your blood and your friends will never be harmed.
"I said I don't want to give you anything!" I screamed as I charged at her when hands shook both my shoulders.
I panted heavily. My face was drenched with sweat that I could drown. (Isn't sweat water anyway?)
"That was the weirdest dream I ever had…" I muttered under my breath.
Jason looked at me, worriedly. "You okay man?"
My head was dizzy to think of anything to say. "Yeah. I think so."
"You were having a nightmare aren't you?" he asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
I nodded. "Yes. It was Mother Earth, tempting me to such things but of course I didn't give her anything."
I wiped my forehead with a piece of cloth.
He ordered for the wind to come so that it could cool my face from the sweat.
"Thanks man. That helped a lot." I told him. "Maybe that's why they called you the 'coolest' dude on earth. Well, in history."
He clapped his hands on my shoulder, "Glad to help. I better go… to Pipes. She might be waiting for me. See you."
And then he left leaving me with no one to talk to.
I sighed and walked to the river I saw earlier.
I talked to it, "Dad, will you be helping us all at the war?"
NO REPLY.
"I know you're listening."
STILL NO REPLY.
"Ugh… this is hopeless."
I was about to stand up when Dad appeared in front of me that I almost fell off the edge. "Woah. Hey there Percy." Poseidon, the god of the sea, held me in place. "I didn't mean to surprise you." He smelled salty like the sea. Maybe that's why Mom liked him. He never took any baths. No offense Dad.
I stiffened, "Didn't expect you'll hear me, Dad. Aren't you busy?"
A fish pole appeared in his hand and started fishing at the river. "My…err… wife, Amphritite, is taking care of everything. Don't worry."
Just hearing of his new wife made me REALLY uncomfortable. What about Mom? Did he ever love her? I forgot, my mother also found the man of her life, Mr. Blowfish. I guess both sides are fair then? I feel like Mom and Dad divorced and I was their poor son needing comfort.
"How's it going, son?" Dad asked, waiting for a fish to bite the bait.
I answered, "It's getting messy. We're preparing for Gaea. Anyway, are you going to help or just abandon us out there?" I gulped nervously.
The god didn't reply for a few seconds.
"I… I don't know. Olympus also has some problems and we need to gather there. I'll try to send help if possible."
I repeated those words, "If possible though…"
He patted my back which was unusual of him, "It's okay, Percy. You're my favorite son remember?"
"Yeah. Maybe?" I wasn't really sure about it. Sometimes, I get jealous of Tyson too.
His image flickered. "I need to go soon. My wife is calling for me at the palace."
"You should leave, Dad." Was my tone too harsh? Hopefully not or my father would blast me to pieces… It was obvious from his face that he was incredibly tired.
He smiled at me one last time, "Good luck, Percy. I hope you win at the upcoming battle." After that, he disappeared with the wind leaving his fishpole with a salmon biting the end of it.
He's almost like saying, Good luck Percy! Stay alive! Ha-ha!
I sighed, "Why are you gods so complicated every time?"
yeeey! i finally made the first chapter! okay. this is the edited one. ^^
