An Ancient Power (SYOC closed) Chapter 1, a Harry Potter + Percy Jackson and the Olympians Crossover fanfic

Hi guys! Welcome to my SYOC! This is a sequel to The Hidden Diamonds (Maze Runner Trilogy x Percy Jackson and the Olympians crossover) although you don't need to read that one. So...here's prologue on this story. Have fun!

[Luella Lennox, 18, daughter of Ares]

I stirred in my sleep. Like most other demigods, sleep meant dreams. And most of the time, it was bad. Visions of the future, or places far away. And mine wasn't too different.

"Find me the lost items. Bring them to me and we will rule! All the rest against me shall perish painfully," A voice in the dark said. Or maybe, hissed. The voice was snake-like, like a python ready to attack.

Then, the landscape changed. The ground was dark, but I saw a figure standing on the mud. He was muttering something, before raising his hands palm-up to the sky, and the ground shook. The grass bent away from a certain point in the ground.

Then, the shaking stopped. There, half-embedded in the wet ground was a shining silver sword hilt, strangely-designed, like a very hard piece of paper rolled up. The blade was not seen anywhere.

The figure bent down. He gingerly picked up the hilt with slightly shaking hands. Somehow I knew he was shaking with excitement. When his hand closed over the whole hilt, the top of it glimmered and the blade appeared, sharp as, well, a sword.

"It's real," he whispered to himself. Then he stood, admiring the precisely-cut sword and its blade. Then, I noticed the sword fit his hand perfectly. He raised it, and a bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky. He willed the blade to disappear, then pocketed the hilt.

The scene changed again. I recognised the guy as the figure in the previous scene. Really short hair, dark eyes, and a v-neck shirt under a jacket of sorts. He was in some kind of big vault, where stacks and stacks of silver coins were on the table, as well as some strewn on the ground. He took out the hilt from his pocket and placed it carefully on the table, pushing off some silver coins that clattered to the ground noisily.

"Let's see what they think of it," he whispered to himself, before stepping back out and closing back the door.

"ELLA! WAKE UP YOU WORM!" One of my siblings shouted in my ear. I blinked my bleary eyes, realising it was Liv, the head of the cabin.

"Oi! Just get off, okay?!" I yelled back at him, pushing the blanket to the side of the bed.

Despite the regularity of the day, I still couldn't shrug off the dream. It wanted me to do something. And when I had wanted to ask a certain centaur about it, he came cantering up to me on my way to the sword arena.

That was especially strange when the first thing he said to me after lunch was, "Remember those Diamonds you took five months ago?"

I nodded. "I wouldn't really forget that, although that quest was really boring."

"Well, if you want it to have plenty of action…" he trailed off, eyes staring into space. "Then meet the others in the Big House. We've got some war coming up."

~Time Skip~

The rec room was almost full when I stepped into it. But then, someone caught the corner of my eye and it almost ruined my motivation to attend the meeting.

Liv glared back at me, his hands crossed over his chest. "What are you doing here?" He raised his voice, but I just half-smiled back.

"Sometimes...it's not cool to yell at me like that, Liv."

He planted his foot on my knee, but I was ready. I used my other foot to kick his other foot clean off the ground, and he fell sprawled on the ground.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He cursed, then shuffled back to his seat when he saw Chiron walking into the room.

"As you all probably already know, we're here to discuss about our friends over in London. The wizards - mortals who has gotten the blessing of Hecate - are in this school called Hogwarts-"

"HAH! Is that supposed to be a joke!?" Liv interrupted. He didn't noticed the several scowls from the other campers.

"Well, no," Chiron said. He turned towards me and said, "Those Diamonds you found, they aren't really everything. In the wizarding world, they have items too, that when combined, allows the user to wield unlimited power. The items, we do not know, but there must be a quest."

oOoOoOo

[Atlas Gray, 18, Slytherin]

The darkness felt like it was pressing on me from all sides. The air smelt more musty than usual, and the sword felt heavier in my pocket. Tugging at the back of my mind, a thought kept resurfacing even after I pushed it away.

Someone had been watching me. I did not know who, or where they were, but my eyes scanned my surroundings and I quickened my steps towards the big brass doors of Gringotts.

I wondered if anyone could sense that I had the sword. After all, it was supposed to be a powerful object, one of the three most magical items in the world. When all the items were combined, it would allow the user to be in complete control of everything.

Stepping out onto the main road, I glanced around and apparated back to Hogwarts, just outside the anti-apparition boundary. The moon hung low in the midnight sky. I hurried back to the Slytherin common room, overly conscious of my footsteps echoing down the corridor.

"Pie eggs," I said and the door swung open.

"Where were you? We were waiting so long, it's already midnight!" Laufeia said when I came out of the doorway.

"I...I guess I got caught up for a while. I might sleep soon, but what are you doing up so late?" I asked.

"What! I can't believe you forgot! We're supposed to put blue sparks near the door before lessons start tomorrow. Are you going to do that or not?" she demanded.

"Fine…" I said tiredly as I swept my glance across the other people in the room. There was Andrew, who was lying on the couch with a perpetual scowl on his face - although he wasn't that intimidating when you talked to him, and there was Hayden, who was supporting his face with his hand pressing on the side, making his eyes go funny.

~Time Skip~

I stirred on the bed as my hand clasped around a now-familiar piece of metal. My fingers traced the outline of the grooves on the hilt. I had to hide it somewhere, where people would not accidentally find it. I pressed it hard against the space between the bed and the wall, out of sight.

I was sure no one would find it. After all, few people knew about my interest in Sleight of Hand. It was in the most obvious place, and I knew wizards were too reliant on magic. Sometimes even magic bows to muggles' tricks.

I fell asleep quick, with the only thought being: No one would ever find out about what I did.
