Percy's Twin
It was the warm summer night of August 14, 2011, the night that changed my life forever. Jason and I, together, were about to attack a fort that one of satyrs had discovered while he was trying to locate demigods. The fort was obviously a camp site for Gaea's minions. It was in Michigan on the coast of Lake Erie, thankfully by a lake which would really be a benefit. I was riding Blackjack and Jason borrowed Guido. We were making good time and Jason said we would make it a little bit after sunset. Just as I had perfect bearings in the sea, Jason had perfect bearings in the sky. We were both wearing full Greek and/or Roman battle armor. Together Jason and I were unstoppable. We knew each other's moves; we were both children of the big three and had extraordinary powers. Still I was nervous, and a bit anxious. In four days, Jason, Piper, Annabeth, and I were going on a double date to a fancy restaurant by the beach for my birthday. I couldn't wait. I tried to forget about it so I wouldn't get hurt in combat.
"So... Jason. You ready for this battle. It can really help us in the future."
"Yeah, I'm pretty pumped." He said a little unenthusiastically
And I kind of killed the conversation. But Jason had other ideas.
"Hey this is it. It's only about 500 ft away. Lets land now." He said
Blackjack and Guido both tucked in their wings and plummeted straight down. And right when I thought we were falling to our deaths, the both spread their wings and came to a nice comfortable landing. We hopped off and told the Pegasus's to stay in earshot. The both jumped in the air and flew off. I looked up. Approximately 300 ft away was the camp. All the monsters including dracaena, the six- armed earthborn ogres, Cyclops, and a bunch of other monsters I didn't recognize. Thankfully there were hardly any demigods.
They were all sitting by the fire dancing and singing and acting totally crazy. Everyone was up except for one girl. Obviously a demigod, but she was so uptight. She was probably left in charge by Gaea and didn't want to get killed so she seemed a little frustrated. She kept looking around but she didn't see us, thankfully.
I leaned over to Jason and whispered my plan. He nodded in approval. We wanted to attack as quietly as possible. We kind of crawled over and when we got about 50 ft away when I was perfectly at the right distance. I focused on the lake and raised my right fist. The water copied my movement. It raised it higher and higher and then… smash. The water came straight down, a large fist, and killed about a fourth of the enemy on impacted. The fire was hosed out. Next it was Jason's turn. He was supposed summoned a lightning. Then the sky crackled and a large lighting bold killed another fourth of the enemy. The rest were hurt. Now it was up to us and there were about 50 more monsters to kill. We charged.
I slashed and stabbed using my new training, Greek and Roman styles, same with Jason. We killed almost all the monsters when something we horribly wrong. That one girl I saw by the camp fire had managed to disarm Jason with incredible speed. She kicked him from behind and Jason stumbled onto ground. She picked him up and one of the dracaena took him away.
"No! Jason!" I yelled as I tried to run over to him
"Milo! Miko! Help Cynthia!" the girl yelled to the monsters
They ran over and barked orders to the rest of the monsters to make sure Jason didn't get away. I tried to get to Jason but the girl quickly stepped in my way. I unfortunately underestimated her. She was a petite girl with her black long hair braided down one side of her hair. Some of her bangs fell in her face so I didn't understand how she could see. She had a Stygian iron knife that looked just like Nico's. Her speed and tactics reminded me of Annabeth. She slashed at me and left a good- sized cut on my arm.
"Aaahh!" I whimpered as I grabbed my wound
But she didn't hesitate. She kicked me right in the chest and sent me headed towards the lake. If only I could get to the water I thought. We began to fight towards the lake and then splash. I fell in. My body regenerated and my wound closed. I got up and rose up in wave towering over her. But something was wrong. Some other force was fighting against my power over the ocean. I looked over and realized with a shock, it was her!
I settled myself on the ground and we both ran at each other. Our weapons met in air and we were pushing against each other, our swords above us. I looked right into her eyes, those startling sea green eyes. They looked so familiar. They were mine! The same eyes I looked at every morning in the mirror, with a light green circle around the pupil. As I looked into them I saw the hospital in which I was born. Me squirming as the other bundle was being handed over to the nurse by… by… Poseidon. Suddenly we both fell back.
"What, what's your name?" I asked
"I'm So- Sofia. "She replied. She obviously had the same vision as I did.
"Sofia and Perseus Jackson." We both said as our bodies were being used to speak through. "Twins."
