Well, to those who do not know me, the name's koyuninjagirl.
Ok, so yes, I've writen fanfics before, but this is my first time writing it for Percy Jackson series. Your choice as to whether or not this counts as first-time writer. I'd say no.
Either way, I present to you, Lost and Found!
Prologue – Chapter One
Splish. Splash. The sound of a person swimming cut through the silence of the dawn. Footsteps in the sand neared the swimmer.
"Seaweed Brain," the girl's voice called to the swimmer. The swimmer turned and headed towards the girl. He lifted himself up onto the deck.
"Yo, Wise Girl," the swimmer greeted, water dripping off of him.
"Ready for the quest?" the girl inquired.
The swimmer smirked, "Worried?"
"As if."
The two best friends/lovers bickered while Apollo's sun chariot rose in the sky.
"But Percy," the girl said seriously, "do be careful."
"Understood, Annabeth, ma'am!" Percy replied with a mock salute. "Wait for me, I'll come back!"
Nearly three months had gone by already, but there was still no sign of Percy.
"Chiron, do you know where he is?" Annabeth inquired.
Grover bleated, "Wasn't the quest easy? Two-month-quest?"
"It's already been three months!" Thalia exploded.
Chiron held up his hands as a sign of surrender. "Children, I do not know either. We must continue to pray and hope to the gods."
"GOOD DEAL OF HELP THEY'RE DOING!" Thalia snapped at the heavens. Thunder rumbled. Suddenly, there was a flash and the Olympians (Hades and Hestia had been added by request of Percy) appeared. The non-gods bowed.
"Finally!" Thalia threw her hands up. "So where's Kelp Brain?"
"Yeah, where is he?" Annabeth added.
The gods looked… uncomfortable? The 3 friends exchanged a furtive look. Even Chiron was confused.
None of the gods seemed as if they wished to speak. The satyr, 2 demigods, and Chiron began to feel a sense of unease. Eventually, Zeus cleared his throat. He mumble something to the audience of four.
"Excuse me?" Annabeth furrowed her brow. Since when did Zeus mumble?
"Percy kind of er… disappeared?" Zeus repeated, this time louder.
The effect was immediate. Grover's mouth fell open and he bleated, not being able to believe the news but believing it at the same time- after all, he had felt the empathy link cut off but had not thought much of it at the time.
Chiron's eyes widened. One of his favorite- no, his favorite camper, gone?
Thalia gaped, not accepting the news. She was speechless at the moment.
Annabeth's jaw unhinged. She, too, did not want to accept the news.
Percy, with his raven black hair and sea green eyes. His joyful laughter and the way he made his sarcastic comments. His height – yes, he was shorter than most campers. How could he be gone?
"Disappeared? What do you mean, disappeared?" Thalia recovered first.
"I think Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite should explain," Hestia broke in with her gentle voice. Everyone turned to the two mentioned goddesses.
"Well…" all three goddesses shifted nervously.
"OUT WITH IT!" Thalia and Annabeth yelled, enraged.
This was how Annabeth, Thalia, Grover, and Chiron found out that Percy was gone. Possibly forever.
Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite has sent Percy to do a task for each and every one of them without outside help. For Aphrodite, Percy had to steal a ring from a monster who had stolen the ring from her. Percy succeeded. For Hera, Percy defeated the dragon-thing-that-guards-the-golden-apple-tree (as Percy called it). The audience chuckled, amused. That name was just like something that Seaweed Brain would come up with. Again, Percy succeeded. For Athena, the final task, Percy had to hold the sky for a month. Atlas was chained right in front of Percy, permitting Atlas to taunt Percy for a whole month. It was on this task that Percy disappeared. On the last day of the month, the three goddesses (Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite) flashed in to relieve Percy of the burden. Instead, they found Atlas under the burden of the sky. Shocked, the three goddesses questioned Atlas, who refused to say anything unless the goddesses took his place under the sky for an hour. When the three goddesses retrieved Ares, Atlas was sworn to speak the truth by the River Styx while he was chained in front of the burden. After questioning, Atlas admitted that he did not know the truth. Apparently, Atlas had gone to sleep one night with Percy under the burden, and the next, it was Atlas himself that was under the burden. The three goddesses and Ares flashed back to Olympus to explain the situation to Zeus. Believing they could find Percy themselves, the gods had been searching for the last month to no avail.
When the story was finished, Annabeth collapsed onto her knees, wailing at the sky.
"Percy!"
So how was it? Criticism would be greatly appreciated. =3
Don't worry, Chapter 2 is written out already... Just a matter of when I'm going to post it... =3
