Chapter 1
Hey guys Riani here! This is a story set in the world of Percy Jackson/The Heroes of Olympus. I think this is going to be a long project. I plan to begin around the last Titan War up until the a bit past the end of Blood of Olympus. I will either pile it all into one huge story or split it into a series we will see what kind of mood I am in. Also, this is primarily about my own original character and how she is dealing with everything. She is connected to Percy and the others and I will reveal that as I go along. R and R!
"You can't hide forever young hero, all heroes must face their destinies eventually."
I'm not hiding.
"You have been your whole life my dear, and soon you will be discovered."
Fire erupted around her and it felt like she was suffocating. "Everything you love will come to ruin, at your own hand."
It felt like the skin was being peeled from her arms, but the worst part was the screams. She heard the voices surrounding her, and they were all familiar. A child's voice cried out, "Sissy help me please!"
Madyson shot up out of her bed roll in a cold sweat. Her heart pounded in her ears, and if it hadn't been for Phoebe shoving her head through the hole in her tent, she would never have known what was going on.
"We have to go, it's starting."
Madyson groaned and rolled over grabbing her shirt and boots. Her body was so sore putting on her silver t-shirt took a lot of effort. Stupid dream. She rubbing her eyes while she shoved her feet into her boots.
They had constantly been moving since Thalia had gotten word that the battle in New York was starting, and on the way they had been ambushed by literally every monster Madyson had ever heard of. She picked up her bow and her short sword and strapped them to her back. She ducked as she exited her tent, and emerged into a cluster of girls clad in silver with bows strapped to their backs.
A girl with cropped black hair sold at the head of the group with her fist raised, "Hunters, Camp Half Blood needs our help, we leave in 10 minutes. Be alert and be ready."
Madyson pushed her way through the other girls up to Thalia. She fell into step next to the daughter of Zues.
"Finally decided to wake up?" Thalia chided.
Madyson pulled her hair into messy braid, and scoffed, "It wasn't my idea to move out at the crack of dawn."
"Yeah and it wasn't my idea to have you as my second, but here we are."
"Ha." Madyson faked a laugh, "So any word on how the Camp is fairing?"
"Not exactly, only dreams-"
Madyson groaned, "Can we not...talk about dreams right now?" Thalia eyed her curiously.
"Alright, fine, but to answer your question I haven't heard much, no, but if we leave now we should get there in a few hours."
Madyson nodded. They stopped in front of the medical tent. "So you know what would be really helpful in this battle?" Thalia asked.
"A giant monster killing bazooka?"
"No, if a certain second in command hunter was at full charge."
"Thalia, we have been through this practically every other day since you became lieutenant, Artemis tried to let me take the oath, but Aphrodite threw a tantrum and wouldn't let her. She said she had a plan for me."
"To which Artemis agreed to hold off on making you a fully blessed hunter for one year, and then you would be given the choice, again. It's been three years Mads."
"And our lady has given me the choice every year. And I just...haven't given her an answer."
"Yeah, and for some reason she's let you stay with us, and even given you speed to keep up, and while she hasn't given you immortality she has slowed you aging, right? Even made you the 2nd lieutenant." Thalia's voice got soft, "You'd probably be first if you had given her a real answer the first time. You have been here longer."
Madyson sighed with exasperation, "Next time she asks, for sure I'll have an answer. Ok that make you happy?"
"Funny you should say that." Thalia reached for the flap of the tent to their right. She gripped Madyson's arm and pulled her towards the tent.
"What? Now? No, no, aren't we supposed to be at war what is she doing here among us lowly servants to her magnificent glory." Madyson changed the path of her sentence as soon as she entered the tent and saw the goddess awaiting her sitting on one of the tables. It was always weird to Madyson to see Artemis in her current form, a thirteen year old in hunting gear. It was strange to feel so much reverence for someone who looked three years younger than her. "I'm sorry M'lady, but shouldn't you be in Olympus? Helping against the Titans?"
Artemis considered Madyson for a moment, and Madyson cursed herself thinking she had crossed a line. "I can only stay for a little while, but I wish to speak to you Daughter of Poseidon."
Ok so I know about the whole Big Three Pact, yeah yeah ok I know! But I have wanted for a long time to write a story about a daughter of Poseidon, and I am going to make this argument right here. Poseidon hints that he has other children when he is talking to Percy at the end of the Last Olympian- "You're doing well with those new cabins, by the way. I suppose this means I can claim all those other sons and daughters of mine and send you some siblings next summer." So yeah, I'm going there. Read and Review! New chapter soon!
