Notes from the Author:
Hello, and thanks for clicking on this. I hope you enjoy. I just wanted to let you all know that the Heroes of Olympus series has not occurred in this story, and it is as if Percy never disappeared from the camp. Enjoy! Please comment your thoughts!
The Other One
He was a horse.
Percy was a horse, running across a broad field, pure energy flowing through him.
He was in a joyful mood, and was running as if it was a stroll – an everyday activity. It seemed as if he ran for fun, like one would walk.
Suddenly, another horse ran with him. This new horse was a black stallion. It acted as if a friend and did not seem hostile. Percy, not being able to control his new dream form of a horse, looked forward, as if the new horse appearing was a normal occurrence.
Percy awakened sleeping upwards – not a usual for him. He sat up and groaned in exasperation.
The dreams, he wondered. Why? What do they mean?
The dreams had been happening for weeks now, and he had no idea what, if any, significance they had. Most demigods did have strange dreams, yes, but at least those made sense. This one made none at all.
The only thing he could truly decipher was that a horse was a sacred animal of Poseidon. But he wasn't even sure if that meant anything, if it was even right.
Maybe it's just a mortal dream, he tried convincing himself. I probably just haven't gotten enough sleep.
The rest of the day went by normally, like every day he had the dream – which was, literally, everyday.
Until some kid yelled "Hey Jackson! You might wanna see this!"
Percy ran over to him. "What's up?", he asked, in a concerned manner.
"Dude, honestly, I don't even know," he replied.
Which meant that this was either not serious or really really bad.
That didn't really boost Percy's spirits.
Percy followed the kid, who was sprinting. Percy soon saw a crowd of people, circling around something.
So it is really bad after all, scoffed Percy, while gritting his teeth.
Percy pushed his way through the crowd.
"'Scuse me,"
Percy nearly fainted when he saw what was in the middle of the circle.
