I'm Overjoyed By My Wonderful Demigod Dreams

Demigod dreams suck. I know that I must have said this about a million and half times, but I just thought I'd state it again.

This dream was particularly bad because I was totally unprepared for it. I hadn't had any dreams since Kronos's downfall and all that. I figured that was mostly because everything was fine now in terms of camp and the gods.

So this dream caught me totally off guard, and I'm just going to say it, scared me half to death.

I was in a room, and it was dark and damp. It was also completely silent. After a few seconds, I heard a voice that seemed to be traveling along a hallway as if coming towards the room.

"That's ridiculous, you know Kronos could never truly be beaten, and particularly not by some wimpy half-blood son of Poseidon."

Okay, call me stupid, but this severely ticked me off. Anyway, the sound of my new best friend kept coming down the hall.

"Don't be stupid, he's gone. Fighting for him is all in vain. We should hide from the gods."

"We've never hidden from the gods. If Kronos is truly gone, then we should honor his memory by fighting the gods and killing the half-blood."

At this point, the door burst open and light fell on the room. The first thing I saw was the two monsters that were arguing over whether to kill me or not. What I saw next worried me much, much more.

I turned around and gasped. I nearly fell over with surprise, because what I was seeing could not be true. I looked over into the saddened and horribly weak and defeated face of Annabeth Chase.

I wanted more than anything to run to her and wrap my arms around her. To tell her that it was okay and no matter what the problem was, we'd get through it. But I couldn't move.

I turned back to face the two monsters. I didn't recognize either of them as anything I'd ever seen before. One was tall, maybe standing about 20 ft. It was bright blue and held a sword in its hand. The other one was human height, deep blood red colored, and looked dangerously like human depictions of the devil.

"So girl," the red one said, and recognized his voice as the one arguing to kill me.

"Wait, Pontius," the blue one said, "we have a guest." He turned to me with a look of pure hate on his face. And on that happy note, I jerked awake.

AN:

Hi everyone. This AN is going to be a little long, because we have some talking to do.

Okay, so I started this story about 10 months ago, and looking back really allows me to see how much I've grown. Reading this work, I'm totally and completely ashamed of it. If I read my profile, I find that this story violates most of my own rules. ¡Qué lástima! So, at least as of now (5/29/10), What is Most Precious is being discontinued. While, personally, I would remove it from the website all together, I think it helps show my growth, and I honestly did spend a lot of time on it. You have the right to read the story, no matter how crappy it may be, and judge me for it all you would like. If you do indeed chose to read it, know that I know it is not of good quality and that I break the majority of my rules for writing, and I apologize for it.

Perhaps, someday, when I have more time, I will go back and fix what I have of the story, so that I can leave on this website without feeling horrified that people are reading it, but I doubt I will continue writing. The plot line of this story is simply too similar to my other, far more successful story, A Demonic Twist to the Damsel in Distress. If you have read the Mortal Instruments and are interested in where this story would have gone, I suggest you hop over to my profile and read that story. It's basically the same thing, as terrifying as that is.

So that's it. You are free to read the rest of this, if you so wish, but it is not very good, and I wouldn't suggest wasting your time with it. The writing is cheesy and void of emotion, and the presentation of the plot and characters is, for the most part, cringeworthy.

Thank you for your time, and have a nice day.
