Author's note
To begin with, DISCLAIMER: I do not own Percy Jackson & The Olympians or The Kane Chronicles. I am just adding them to make this story as interesting as possible.
In this story, it switches from Percy's point of view to Penelope's point of view. When it switches, you'll either see Percy's POV or Penelope's POV.
Ok, so I guess I should start the story, hope you enjoy.
Penelope Jackson
Chapter 1: Half-Blood Troubles
Penelope's POV
I shaded my eyes as I got off the bus. I complained to my friend, Amy, that the museum was so boring but to be honest I was really excited. Ever since I was a tiny kid at an orphanage, I had loved the trips we had made to museums. They were so interesting especially the exhibits on the Greek gods and the exhibits about the Egyptian gods, especially the exhibits about the Egyptian gods.
See, I'm a Magician. I'm following the path of Nepthys, the river goddess. I have a wand and a sword and everything a Magician needs. Since I was a Magician, the exhibits at the museum really peaked my interest.
Anyway, I was complaining to Amy, when one of our chaperone's, Mr. Finley, said loudly.
"Ms. Jackson, if you have something to say please share it with the rest of the class."
I turned red and i shook my head vigorously. The rest of the class laughed at that but Mr. Finley just glared at me for a moment and then he said.
"Let's continue with our tour."
Mr. Finley led us into the museum along with our other chaperone, Mr. Marquis. At first, I was at the front of the line and then I felt myself being dragged backwards.
'Oh no.' was my first thought. I knew it had to be the new bully, Alexandria Kahn. She had only been at the orphanage a week and she was making my life miserable. During her first day at the orphanage, she had beaten me up, called me some horrible names, and, worst of all, dunked my head in a toilet. I wondered what she was going to do. Maybe she would dunk my head in the museum toilet this time.
After she had dragged me for a few minutes, Alexandria spun me around and smiled deviously.
"What do you want, Alexandria?" I demanded bravely. I was too small to beat her up but i had enough courage to try and resist.
"I think you know, Penelope Jackson." Alexandria hissed and then she began to change. She grew a few feet and when I looked up I saw one eye.
I instantly knew that she was some kind of monster. I pulled my sword out of the Duat and I spun around to face her.
"How strange, a Half-Blood using an Egyptian weapon." The monster said sounding confused.
"I am a Magician, I follow the path of Nepthys." I said firmly. "You could do well not to cross me."
"A Half-Blood Magician, strange, but that will make your death much better." The monster said and then it lunged at me.
I parried it's attack and then I pulled my wand out of the Duat. I made a Fist in the air, and when the heiroglyphics glowed the monster was thrown backwards. I smiled, sure that I had at least made it disappear to somewhere nearby, and then it stood back up.
As soon as it stood back up, I knew that the heiroglyphics wouldn't work. I put my wand back in the Duat along with my sword and then I turned and ran.
I ran as fast as I could but that wasn't fast enough. The monster was closing in on me fast, if only I could get some help. Just then I heard the sound of someone drawing a sword.
'Not another enemy!' I thought with a groan. One monster, I could handle. Two monsters though, I would need some help.
Then I saw him, a boy holding a glowing sword. He had sea-green eyes, dark hair, and a muscular body.
"Hey, are you alright?" The boy asked.
"Yeah but we might want to get out of here." I replied. "That monster is tough."
"Don't worry, I can handle it." The boy said advancing on the monster.
"Are you sure?" I asked surprised that this boy could be so confident when there was a monster that even a spell couldn't beat. Maybe he was a powerful Magician.
"Don't worry, just get behind me." The boy said.
When he was within swinging range, he swung his sword at the monsters chest and surprisingly the monster disappeared in a flash of light. I stared at the boy for a minute, and then I asked.
"How did you do that?"
He put a cap on his sword and it shrunk down into a pen. Then he looked at me and said.
"Celestial Bronze, it does the trick against Cyclops."
"That was a Cyclops!" I said surprised.
"Surely you've dealt with them before?" The boy asked seeming surprised.
"No, never." I replied.
His eyes widened and he managed to sputter.
"But you're like seventeen, as a Half-Blood you'd have to run into them at some point in your life."
"Oh I've dealt with monsters, but what is a Half-Blood?" I demanded.
"Someone who's half-human, half-god." The boy replied and then he added. "By the way, I'm a Half-Blood too."
"Uh what?" I asked not quite comprehending what he had just said.
"A Half-Blood is someone who is half-human, half-god." The boy repeated.
I was in complete and utter shock. I couldn't be a Half-Blood, I was a Magician. But what the boy said somehow made sense, it would explain why there were no records of my father. He must have been a god.
"What's your name?" I nearly jumped out of my shoes when he asked that. But I quickly recovered and said.
"Penelope, yours?"
"Percy Jackson." was his reply.
