Chapter 1
There I stand next to my brother Percy rising my scythe, preparing for the hardest fight of my life. "Don't worry Ulfr we can do this, no problem." Percy said. I was thinking were did my life go so wrong.
It all started when Percy and I went on a field trip, with are annoying friend Grover. You see me and Grover don't get along that well. We hang out some times, but that's only because of Percy. If you saw me and Percy you would not think we're brothers we look nothing alike, I have dirty blond hair, he has black, he has sea green eyes, I he has a surfers tan, and I am pale.
The reason we look so different is that I'm adopted. But I don't really care, sally Jackson (Percy's mom) is my mother.
Percy and I are currently enrolled in Yancy, the reason I say currently, is because Percy and are a bit of trouble makers. We both have a.d.h.d. and dyslexia and bad tempers. We are known to get into fights and yelling at the teachers and get expelled.
When we were on the bus Nancy Bobafit throwing bits of her lunch at Grover. It was hard to keep Percy from strangling her. Normally I would help, but Percy and I are on probation.
"I'm going to kill her." Percy said.
"You can when were not on probation." I said and Percy muttered threats under his breath.
When arrived Mr. Brunner my favorite teacher was telling us about the funeral pyre when Nancy said something about I couldn't hear, but Percy said a little too loud "would you please shut up!"
Mr. Brunner heard and asked. "Percy do you have a comment?"
"No sire." Percy said.
"Perhaps you can tell us what this picture represents?"
"that's kronos eating his kids, right?"
"and" Mr. Brunner asked.
"And… he didn't trust his kids the Olympian Gods. So, um, he ate them. But his wife hide baby Zeus and later he tricked his father to throw up his brothers and sisters-"
"ewwww" some girls said.
"It's not that gross." I said.
Percy ignored this. "and there was this big fight between the gods and titans and the gods won."
I heard Nancy say "like we are going to use this in really life. Like its going to ask on are job application 'Please explain why kronos ate his kids'"
"and why," Mr. Brunner asked. "to paraphrase Miss Bobafit, how will you use it in your daily life."
Percy looked like he didn't know the answer so I stepped in
"Because the past can teach us." I said "Kronos caused his biggest fear to come true by eating his kids. Zeus might not have rebelled if he hadn't."
Mr. Brunner looked impressed. "Good job Ulfr, and now lunch."
