Percy's POV
It's been weeks, since we first left port. My father ( King Poseidon) was told by his men that a strange Island was found somewhere hidden in the Medditerean. It was a long lost island that used to be in the Ancient Lost Scrolls of Greece. There, it is said to be the most beautiful girl in the world. In the little part of the Ancient Scrolls my father found, said that she was the rightful Queen of Greece. And of course, my Father wants her. But we have sailed for weeks and nothing has been found yet. It's just a big sheet of blue sea.
I was in the Captain's quarters, when my best friend, Grover came to me.
"Prince Percy, we are close to our destination. Do you want us to prepare for leaving?" He asked me.
"Not yet, Grover. First we have to see if this Island is safe. In the Ancient Greek Mythology this Island was well guarded by warriors. And it is said that the trainer of Heroes, Chiron, is in that Island. We have to make sure it's safe for docking."
"Yes, Prince Percy."
"LAND!" i heard Prince Nico call out.
"Let's get going." I told Grover.
We walked over to the edge of the ship to see a beautiful island. It's mountains, looked like if it had been painted by the Angels. The beach glowed a Gray-ish color. And the buildings resembled much of the ones in Greece. There was one big one that caught my eye. It was the Parthenon. But it was newly built. It stood gracefully and proudly in the middle of the huge island. The ancient myths did this island no justice. It was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. Then a centaur came running down the edge of the sand.
"Only three may come down to the island. Any others will be taken prisoner, or thrown in a cage with Princess Annabeth's pet Manticore." Chiron, the old and wise trainer of heroes spoke.
Wow, the princess had a MANTICORE? That's pretty scary.
"Alright, you heard Chiron! Nico, Grover and I shall go down. The rest of you Stay on the ship! Manticores are not fun and games." I said.
Grover threw down the plank and we walked down. The sand of the Island was softer than anything i will ever feel in my entire life. A group of warriors came running to the edge of the boat. They took out their bows and aimed them at the ship. Some took out their swords and looked ready to attack.
"Follow me."Chiron said. We did as we were told. We walked along side, Chiron, through the town, with its Giant White Marble buildings. And toward the shinning Parthenon. As we came close to the Parthenon to guard stopped us.
"We will need all your weapons. They will be given back to you once you exit the Temple. But for now but them in that basket." A guard said, his voice firm and solid.
I put Riptide and my shield in the Basket. Nico put in several knifes, and his sword. Grover put in his knifes.
"Very well, you may go in." The other guard said letting us pass.
We walked up the big white marble steps of the Parthenon and entered a huge throne room. It was entirely decorated of Silver and Gold. It had precious jewels everywhere, and a huge throne at the end of it.
On the throne sat a girl. That looked not a day past her 18. She had long Golden curls that reached up to mid back. She was wearing some sort of Greek Dress, that was white and the edges and belt where pure gold. She had gladiator sandals on that tangled up to her knees, also gold. And a crown, but it wasn't made out of Gold of Silver. It was made out of leaves, and flowers. But what mostly caught my eyes, was her eyes. They were a beautiful yet, scary gray color. It looked as if the gods had taken two little storms and put them in her eyes.
She looked at us, analyzing our every move. Chiron told us to stop about a few feet away from the throne. He went up to the Princess, she smiled.
"Good morning, Chiron." She said. Her voice sounded like bells blowing in the wind. But it was firm at the same time.
"Good morning, my child." He replied.
"To who may i owe this great pleasure to?" She asked me.
"Your majesty, I am Prince Percy from Atlantis. This is my best friend Grover Underwood. And that is Prince Nico of Italy." I introduced. She nodded.
"Grover Underwood? Do you happen to be the grandson of Fernad Underwood?" She asked. (A.N./ You guys know what I'm talking about, right? Grover's Uncle who got killed by Medusa? Yep. Know you know. Did I spell it right? Probably not. But you know what I mean.)
"Y-yes ma'am." He said shyly.
"He was a great man, I am sorry for you loss." She said sincerely. Grover nodded his head sadly.
"You know, he did leave something here, on Wisdom Island. I'd think you'd really like it." Annabeth said. Grover quickly brighten up.
"Really? What is it? I mean, uh, is that so?"
Annabeth laughed. Her laugh was amazing. I could hear it over and over again, for a thousand times and never get tired of it.
"Malcolm will you mind getting me the Silver Box that's in the locked room?" She asked one her servants, that weirdly looked a lot like her.
"Of course, not Princess. I'll be back momentarily."
"And, you, Nico Di'Angelo son of King Hades. Your sister visited me before she disappeared. We were good friends. And before she left, she told me if i ever saw you to give you this." Annabeth said as she stood up and walked over to Nico. She gave a small box. It was a solid black box, simple enough. As Nico saw it, he gasped.
"I-is this, really hers?" He asked.
"Tell me, Prince of Italy, do you think I'd lie to you about something this serious and important." Annabeth said. Nico looked and stared into Annabeth's eyes.
"No." He said. She handed him the box. He smiled (and Nico NEVER EVER smiles).
Then she turned to me.
"Hmm... Prince Percy Jackson. Son of Sally and Poseidon Jackson. Your mother was a great woman, Percy. I know why you are here. And let me just say that if Sally was alive she'd never let you do this."
There i felt something pop.
"HOW DARE YOU MENTION THE NAME OF MY MOTHER, YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER! SO HOW COULD YOU KNOW WHAT SHE WANTED ME TO DO OR NOT!" I screamed at the Princess. The guards were sure to kill me. When the charged at me, i knew i was going to die. But the Princess stopped them. Then she calmly went back and sat on her throne.
"I knew Sally Jackson more than you could imagine. She used to tell me everything she hated about the actions your Father was doing. How he was taking over cities, how he was starting wars for no apparent reason. I know a lot more than what she ever told you." She spoke in a calm voice. " And that's why she gave me this." Annabeth showed me the amulet.
I quickly recognized the Amulet. It was my mother's favorite. Before she died, she had told me she had given it to her best friend, the one she would tell everything to. The one that she wouldn't name. At that moment i realized everything she had said was true. I wanted to grab the Amulet and run off. But my Mother had given it to her, so it was hers.
"I do not intend on keeping this Amulet, Percy. I want to give it to you. But not without a prize. I want you to leave Wisdom Island. I know Poseidon wants me, for his own self-fish and weird purposes. But i do not plan to go. I do not want my Island started in a war. Choose what you want Percy. To obey your Father or the only thing left of your Mother."
Annabeth's choice was hard. Obey my Father. Or have the only thing left of my beloved Mother...
So…What did you think? I hope you like it. What's going to be Percy's decision? What does Grover get from his Uncle? What is inside the little black box? What did you think of the story?
I am trying to make them talk like how they used to talk, back in those days.
Please, Review! XD
