Heroes of Olympus Son of Neptune fanfiction

chapter 1 Percy

Percy woke up, leaned against a tree, in a redwood forest, a golden sword at his throat. The girl looked around 18 years old and was strong and muscular. She wore an XXXL purple t-shirt and grey camouflage pants. Her eyes were brown with a murderous look. She had such dark hair, that at first, he thought it was black. She wore a bandana that made her look buffer. She looked sort of familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"What's your name,punk?" she growled. He heard a voice in his head. Perseus.

"Pers..." he was about to say Perseus, but the voice came again. Say only Percy.

"Pers- what?" she hissed

"Percy"

"Percy what?" she asked. The voice didn't come back. He tried to remember. Who was he? Who was his family? Where was he?

"Whatever" the girl said, clearly annoyed. Percy got up. The girl let him. She led him to a ruin of a stone mansion. He sensed a beach just outside the forest. The smell of saltwater soothed him. He started for the water.

"Oh no you don't, we're going to the wolf house," the girl warned, digging the sword deeper into his throat. For a strange reason, it didn't hurt as much as he expected. She led him toward the mansion.

The mansion was bigger then it looked. The walls were smooth, and strangely not cracked. He noticed that he was in a kind of arena. There was a drained reflecting pool, long and rectangular, with a dirt path that led all the way around. He had absolutely no idea how deep it was, because it was filled with mist. Percy started getting dizzy. He saw a huge wolf come from deeper in the arena. "Hellhound" was the first thing that came to Percy's mind.

"What did you bring me Gwendolyn?" The wolf asked the girl.

"I found this boy asleep against a tree in the woods. He came out of no where, he easily made it into the wolf house and the gods have been claiming more of their kids, so he's probably a demigod," Gwendolyn replied. The wolf came out so that Percy could see her clearly. She had chocolaty red fur and was several feet taller than him. She regarded Percy carefully. Looking into the wolf's silver eyes, he felt as though she reminded him of someone close to him. Her eyes looked ageless and wise.

"I am Lupa. I can sense that you are a a half blood. You must first take a test to determine if you will be able to stay in SPQR" the wolf told Percy. Her mouth didn't move, but he could hear her voice clearly.

"What does that stand for?"

"You are are not yet ready for that classified information, all I can tell you about it is that it used to be a legion camp in the ancient times, unfortunately, it is not as strict anymore. Until you are ready, you may call it Camp Half-blood." He felt a buzzing in the back of his skull, as if he knew a place called Camp Half-blood.

They led Percy to the edge of the pit.

"Go and cross it,"

"How?" Lupa stomped her paw and a dirt bridge made it's way across. Percy stepped on it cautiously. It crumbled and broke, but the rest of the bridge stayed stable. He hopped onto the bridge and started running across. It crumbled behind him. He finally got across and was panting. Lupa and Gwendolyn shimmered into view beside him.

"He's an outsider. How come I didn't make it in so easily,"Gwendolyn muttered under her breath.

They then led him to the edge of a lake. The surface rippled and glistened. Gwendolyn attached a weight,like the ones that prisoners wore, to Percy's right ankle and handcuffed him behind his back. She threw the keys into the lake. Then Lupa shoved Percy into the water. The water stung his skin, but he knew he had more painful experience. "I'm gonna drown!" Percy thought. Then he realized that he could breath perfectly fine and he wasn't wet. Percy struggled with the chains. "Get OFF," then, as if the water was obeying him,it swirled around his ankle and wrists, and soon the chains were gone. He wished that he was wet. Lupa and Gwendolyn would probably think that he was some freak if he wasn't.

When Percy came out of the lake, he was soaking wet. Gwendolyn looked disappointed, but Lupa looked a little bit impressed. Then out of nowhere,tiny stone started hurling themselves at him, hundreds of miles an hour. They didn't seem to harm Percy in any way, but he was surprised when they bounced right off of him. When he didn't show any signs of pain, or tried to block or dodge the stones, Lupa and Gwendolyn appeared to be confused.

"Your test is almost complete. All you have to do now is move those boulders,covering the entrance to the camp," Lupa explained to him. Percy looked at the direction that Lupa pointed at,which looked weird since she had to use her entire paw. He almost gulped. The boulders looked slippery and they seemed to be three times bigger than him.

Percy put all his strength into pushing the boulder. He knew that he had some kind of experience with something much heavier than these boulders together. He remembered the water responding to him in the lake. He wanted to will the lake to push the boulders,but Lupa and Gwendolyn would think he was a freak. "Could I make water," Percy thought to himself,looking at his hands. He concentrated, and felt water coming from his hands. He placed his hands on one of the boulders and willed more water to come. He felt a tugging sensation in his gut. The boulder didn't move at all. He looked underneath the boulder and noticed that the boulders were stuck to the ground. That wouldn't be good. Percy would have to try something else. He placed his hands on the boulder once more. He felt the tug in his gut, but this was more fierce, like it was trying to control him, instead of vice versa. Percy managed to keep control. The boulder started to shake, and then, crack. He did the the same with the rest, but each time he did, he felt his power draining away. He felt faint.

"H-how...what...w-why..." Gwendolyn seemed at a loss for words. Lupa looked at him, trying to figure him out. And Percy collapsed.
