Disclaimer: All rights go to Rick Riordan, I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I read many fanfics so I decided to try my hand at writing. I don't if you would like it, please don't get disappointed since I am new at this and stuff, so don't blame me. This is the first book of the series, so just read, hope you enjoy. Feel free to review but please no bad comments, but I am open to any suggestions. Thanks! –thereadergirl14
P.S. : Only the prologue is written in 3rd person POV, the rest are in first person POV and I give credit to my friend and co-writer, Nightshade Hunter, she helped me with SOME ideas for the story J
Prologue:
300 years ago (situated 5 months after HoO)
Percy stormed into his cabin after his fight with Annabeth and went to bed. He thought she was cheating with the new Ares kid, Adonis. After a while, he decided to sleep, thinking that he could settle things with Annabeth the next day. At that night, he was kidnapped by the Elemantalists, who took away his memory and was given a new identity. He is now known as Evander, the Head Elementalist of water and second-in-command of the Elementalists.
To explain, the Elementalists are an elite and powerful group of warriors who are masters in combat and could control the elements: water, air, earth, and fire (A/N: Yeah, it's inspired by Avatar, but I just changed the cycle arrangement). Like the Hunters of Artemis, they move around quickly and they are invulnerable and granted immortality, but they can die in combat. Like demigods, they also have fatal flaws:
Water: personal loyalty
Air: can be easily distracted
Earth: can be too absorbed in their tasks
Fire: can take things too far (like in combat, they won't stop until their opponent is badly injured)
Now the story begins…..
Chapter 1:
Percy/Evander's POV
"Master, Lord Crius is requesting for your presence at the main tent." My lieutenant, Aglaia said.
"Tell them that I'll be there in a while." I said and then she left.
I sighed and looked around the new place from the peak of the mountain. We just set up a new camp on the mountain ranges, somewhere at the Canadian wilderness. I love being an Elementalist but we always move every time to places where we think we are needed. Well, I wore my gray hooded cloak with dark blue trim (which has hidden armour inside and the hood casts a shadow that covers half of my face) , silver wrist cuffs with an intricate design carved and with a huge sapphire on each one, a pair of black pants, and brown combat boots. I had with me a bronze staff with a sapphire gem and a black leather grip. I always considered this my favourite weapon since when I spin it, it turns to whatever weapon I wanted (a spear, a pair of duel blades, a sword, etc). Well, I walked through the camp, there are patches of snow almost everywhere, but it was like a regular day, people duelled with each other, practiced controlling the elements, and stuff like that. I approached the main tent, which is at the middle of the camp; you can only go inside if you are summoned or else, Crius could get you blasted into bits.
I entered the place and Lord Crius was waiting for me with the rest of the Council of the Elementalists, the leaders of the Elementalists. I didn't like these kinds of private meetings, considering I would have to see Lysander, the Head Elementalist for fire and my sworn enemy since forever. I also saw Alexandra, the head Elementalist of air, blush as I went into the room. She always blushes when I am around, for some reason I don't know, I have a little crush on her, but I rarely think about it.
"You have summoned me, Lord Crius?" I said as I walked towards them to join them.
Cruis nodded and said "Yes, Evander, I see you took the time to join us."
Then we all sat down at our thrones and then Crius said "Well, I am sure that you are wondering why I summoned you here."
We all nodded and he continued "Well, I have received a message from Chiron, from Camp Half-Blood, he needs help training there and he needed more alliances for some reason."
Hmm…Chiron?…that name sounds familiar…eh, maybe I just read it from some Greek mythology book.
And Camp Half-Blood, that too sounds familiar...
"Lord Crius, what and where is this Camp Half-Blood you speak of?" Leah, the Head Elementalist of Earth, asked in a serious tone and that stern look that always creeps me out.
"It is a training camp for half-bloods in Long Island Sound, New York." Crius replied.
"So, Lord Crius, when will we leave for that place?" Lysander asked.
"We will leave tomorrow at dawn; tell the rest of the Elementalists, you are dismissed now." Crius replied and he went to the back tent which was his.
I sighed and headed out of the tent, maybe I could clear my mind with a little rest or something. I went down to the mountain cave, where I found an underground spring just yesterday. Seeing the sight of water calms me down and the way it shimmers on the cave walls is pretty to watch too, I sighed and took my hood off, I loved this warm place, gets me out of the cold winter air here .I sat down on the cave floor and removed my hood. I closed my eyes for a while and when I started to open them….
"Guess who I am." Someone said as a pair of hands covered my eyes.
"Hmm…is it my favourite younger sister, Cassandra?" I said as I removed the hands away and turned to face her.
Yeah, she is my sister, Cassandra, she looks a lot like me. She has wavy black hair, blue violet eyes (which was always full of fun and mischief), and a fair and rosy complexion.
"So this is your new secret hideout, brother?" she playfully asked.
I nodded and she said "Impressive one, better than the frozen bat cave from Alaska." She laughed and I had to laugh too, it is hard not to laugh around when she is around.
"Something on your mind, brother?" she asked, I guess she noticed my expression.
"Well, yes there is, Lord Crius wants us to move to this new camp, and I have to tell the rest and I do not know how." I replied.
"That's very unlike you, brother, but I guess you have to figure out soon, so when will we leave?" Cassandra said.
"We leave tomorrow, at dawn." I said absently.
"Wow, so soon, brother," then she stood up and said "I better prepare, you better tell the others sooner."
Then she turned to the entrance and climbed back up. After a few minutes, I decided to come back up and I saw Cassandra talking to Aglaia.
"Cassandra, you are just making up stories again!" Aglaia exclaimed.
"No I am not! I am telling the truth, ask my brother," then she looked at me and said "Oh wait, he's here, why not ask him right now?"
She stopped arguing with my sister and turned to me and I said "What is going on now between you two, this time?" Yeah, I am used to them fighting, they fight all the time.
"Is it true, Master Evander, what Cassandra said that the camp will move tomorrow to this place called Camp Half-Blood?"
I sighed and said "Yes, it is true, now go tell the other water elementalists, I was going to tell them myself but now at least that will give you something to do, rather than to argue with my sister." I said
"Alright master, right away." Then Aglaia ran away to tell the rest.
"Thank you brother, for ending it, she is starting to get on my nerves." Cassandra said as she hugged me. Then she pulled away to go back to her tent.
I sighed and went back to my tent to maybe get some rest before dinner.
A.N. :
So what do you think? Sorry if it is short, the other one would be longer, I promise. I am sure you'll guess it's kinda inspired by the Chaos stories and such. Please review and I will post the next part during the weekend or so, I can post anytime, so stay tuned, if you don't like it, just stop reading.
