The Son Of Neptune
1. Percy
Percy woke up in a redwood forest clearing by a fire, with a pack of huge wolves and a lot of eyes; he felt the cold of the night and the rush of the wind on his exposed skin. This might have been funny if it wasn't him, or maybe if the wolves didn't bare there fangs in a hostile manner. Though he felt that there was something else that was bothering him, as if he were on enemy grounds. Like there was some bad blood between him and this huge pack of wolves.
"Who are you?" - One wolf the alpha, a female, spoke, well not speaking but communicating in a way that Percy was able to understand. Percy thought about that, weird he didn't know who he was. "Um I think its Percy."
"Percy, from Perseus the one who killed Medusa. Do you not remember anything?" Nope, nothing was coming back to him. How could he not know who he was? He also felt an irritation to being called Perseus.
"Yea just Percy. How did I get here?
"That is a question you should be answering. You appeared here. It must have been a God that sent you."
"Excuse me?"
"You are a demigod, half God and half mortal, one of your parents was mortal and one was a God. You are older than they usually are, I wonder how you survived this long." Demigod, yes that rung a bell. Oh yea, he's demigod.
"So I'm the son of one of the Gods right? Like Zeus, Hermes, Poseidon and such."
"Yes, well that is the Greek way of saying their names." Percy didn't know there was any other way, not that he would remember in any case.
"Percy, you are here one way or the other because you are a demigod. This is the legion and we build strong demigods. You will be tested soon, and we will find out if you are worthy to be among us." – the wolf said. Percy got the feeling he would not like these challenges.
"Sorry I think I'll just leave." I said knowing fully well I would not be able to. The wolf chuckled.
"To what? Being a demigod you will be killed by monsters. You don't even know who you are. It will be better if you just stayed here and trained. Before you can even think of going out into the real world." – the wolf said amused. Great, he was going to die both ways.
"So what happens if I don't meet your standards?" said Percy, knowing he was going to regret the answer.
"Simple, if you show weakness than you shall serve to sustain me." – she said plainly.
Even better, wolf chow.
"Who are you?" Percy questioned.
"I am Lupa, I direct and head the legion's operations and activities. You will stay one night at the Mercury cabin before your test. One way or the other you will prove to be an example. She signalled to another wolf. Bobby will show you around." – she finished. As if on cue a guy around his age walked into the clearing from the woods.
"Bobby." – The wolf nodded and left along with the rest of the wolves. The guy was dressed in jeans and a purple t-shirt with the words: "The legion" written on it. "Your are?"
"Percy" He nodded and inclined the direction for them to walk. He seemed eased, almost bored as if this was routine.
This is my first fan fiction, so I'm sorry if it is not what you expect. I forgot to proofread because I was caught up trying to upload it. I'm currently working on the next chapter. I will have it done by Friday February 25th 2011 at the very latest. It will probably be out sooner but I just want to give myself a little bit of breathing room. I will notify you when the next chapter comes out. Please Review and thank you for reading my fan fiction. - AlphaLiterate out.
