This was a project I scrapped. Now, I'm bringing it here.
Heroes of Olympus: Flames of Revolution
I wrote this because I'm to lazy to continue The Fifth Horseman
Chapter 1: Where to Begin
Percy POV
My life sucks. Let me give you a run-down of what happened:
-We killed Hyperion and Lycaon at an old fort in Paris. Gian sacrificed his life to give me enough time to kill the Titan of Light.
-My adopted siblings, the Four Horsemen faded away as their secret was they were old and dying. My tomahawk and bow were broken. I burned the late son of Ares' shroud for his self sacrifice and courage.
-Annabeth betrayed us after we found out she was possessed by Ouranos. Now, the Titans rule New York, the Mist was broken and I was left for dead. Thankfully, Thanatos brought Zoe back to life (before he got captured himself) and I was brought back to health. She trained me to become an Assassin (like the ones in pop culture)
Right now, I was looking for Zoe, she suddenly disappeared without a trace. She was the new love of my life. I found a note which said:
Percy,
I don't have much time. I have to meet with the others. Use Shark Vision on one of the walls in your bedroom, you'll find some special stuff there.
With love,
Zoe Nightshade
I used Shark Vision and found the wall behind my bed glowing gold. I opened a secret panel and the door opened, revealing a set of robes (AC4 Duncan Walpole Robes), no big deal but what shocked me the most were two things:
Innocence and Hatred, my old hidden blades.
I put on the robes and put on the two bracers and set out for New York/The City of New Kronos as one of the rogue demigods put it.
I arrived after half an hour and blended into a crowd with Shark Vision active. I found a gold line with an astral vision of Zoe following it. I suspected that she went that way so I followed it. I found a mortal being harassed by an empousa. I pulled away from the crowd and landed a hidden blade to the creature's neck. I scrambled with the man and we hid from the guards since the empousa let out a loud scream as I killed it.
"Thank you, sir." he said.
"No problem. I'm Percy Jackson."
"Percy Jackson? An friend of yours is looking for you on this location."
He pointed at a map showing the location of Camp Half Blood.
"I see. Thank you."
After a few run-ins with more guards and smuggling myself into several transports, I made it to the hill. I was shocked to see Camp Half Blood in ruins, most likely from the sudden Titan attack. As I looked around, I saw two familiar people.
"Jason? Grover?"
"PERCY!"
We had a group hug before we broke away and talked.
"We thought you were dead, Perce." Grover said.
"Not yet, G-man."
"Come with us, Percy."
I followed them to a secret door under the rubble of the Big House. After going down like three flights of stairs, we arrived at some kind of barracks loaded with demigods, hunters, nature spirits and a few minor gods talking. I saw a certain ex-hunter among them.
"ZOE!"
"PERCY!"
I spun her around as we kissed which caused Grover's mouth to drop.
"C'mon lovebirds." someone said. It was Artemis. "We've got a meeting."
"R...Right, Lady Artemis."
I followed her to a war room with Apollo, Hestia, Athena, Hephaestus and Hera.
"I assume you're pissed at Annabeth, Lady Athena?" I asked.
"Yes, I am. The other gods have been forced to carry Atlas' burden. You are our secret weapon, Perseus, whatever training Zoe gave you will help us free New York."
"I'm ready to help."
"Percy, come with me. I have something to show you." Hephaestus said.
He took me to a small armory. I saw Leo, Calypso, Nyssa and Jake there. They opened a secret vault and to my shock, the hidden item was my old Horseman Outfit except with more armor (AC4 Edward Kenway Pirate Captain outfit). Near it was a red click pen similar to Riptide (which I forgot I had).
"We gave it our own designs, Perce." Leo said.
"Check out the pen. It's War's final gift to you." Hephaestus said.
Hesitating, I took the red pen and clicked it. It sprung into a thinner, lighter and faster version of War's sword. Engraved to it was the name Bloodocean.
Without hesitating, I put on the new robes and sheathed Riptide and Bloodocean in separate pockets.
"Now that that's done. Go to Athena. She's got a job for you."
