I Fight a Statue
My nightmare started like this. I remember being in a strange room full of gold and about every jewel in the world. While trying to find the exit, I stumbled across a secret room. The room was full of treasures that I think not even the God's themselves have ever seen, or knew existed. I then noticed that there were piles of this stuff all over the chamber. Then I saw a solid gold figure on top of the biggest pile. I went up to investigate, and I wish I never did.
When I got closer to it, I noticed it was a statue of a boy. I'm guessing he was around 18. He was muscular with bizarre marks on his arms like he'd been hit in the arm with a sharp object a couple times. He had hair almost like Thaila's; the only difference was his was longer. I couldn't tell if he was asleep or awake because he was wearing sunglasses. His arms were crossed. I began to think he may be dangerous, well besides the fact that he was stuck in gold, and he was giving off a bad vibe so strong it would have made Hades shudder. I began to move away but I didn't get very far.
The room started to shake. I turned around to see if the statue was still in one place, but of course it wasn't. In its place was a bright ball of light. It started out as small as a golf ball but then it grew bigger and bigger until it was as big as me, then in a big flash of light it engulfed me. The light was so intense it burned my eyes. The light was starting to fade; I couldn't open my eyes yet, but I could sense I was somewhere different.
When the blinding light of death went away, my senses were right. I was in a dark room. It was cold and damp almost like no one had lived here for a long time. It reminded me a lot of the labyrinth my friends and I went into last year. The only difference was there were no walls, no sound, only darkness.
"This is what the world will become if we don't stop him."
I looked around but nobody was here except me. I began to think that I had finally lost it. Then I heard the voice again "No light, only darkness." I looked around to try to find the guy talking, but he was no where to be seen. "The world you know now will be destroyed, buildings will fall volcanoes will erupt, and even the sun will burn out."
"Who are you?" I screamed.
For a while, nothing happened. Only silence filled the dark chamber. Then he stepped out of the shadows. I was too shocked to move. It was the boy from the statue. The only difference was that he was moving and wielding two swords. The sword he held in his left hand was a very bright silver blade the base designed almost like clouds; the other sword was gold, and it had a base that looked similar to the silver one, only this one had black clouds, almost like storm clouds. I was terrified, I had never seen weapons like this before (and, heck, I took on a guy with a darn scythe before! It didn't even compare to these swords!)
He raised the silver one at me and said, "Show me the power of the sea god."
I was stunned. How did he know who my dad was? I grabbed the ballpoint pen from my pocket and uncapped it. The pen started to transform in my hand until it became the celestial bronze sword Riptide. I was expecting a gasp from the guy but he just stood silent. Then he started to chuckle "So that's the legendary sword Riptide," he said, "Looks more like a can opener than a sword." That was the last straw, you can make fun of me, but you never make fun of my sword. I charged at him.
I slashed at him with Riptide, but he just dissolved into thin air. I looked around and saw nothing. "Is that the best you can do, kid?" He asked. It sounded like he was behind me so I swung my sword in a spiral and hit him again, but one again he dissolved. I was beginning to get frustrated; every time I hit him, he just disappeared.
"So this is all the power you have," he said. I was mad now.
"WHO ARE YOU?" I screamed.
He then appeared in front of me. It was then that I noticed what he was wearing. He had a black jacket which was one size to big for him. Under the open jacket he wore a dark blue shirt, and dark blue jeans. He still had his sunglasses on, and still had his two swords.
"You want to know who I am, Boy," he said. Then all of a sudden, a gust of wind started to blow throughout the dark chamber. I shivered.
"I am an avenger, one who serves no man or god."
I was now beginning to wonder if he was a demigod, but that was impossible. There was no demigod in camp that could make the wind appear out of nowhere. As soon as I pondered, that he said, "So you want to know who my god parent is, do you, Boy?" I jumped back in shock; he must have read my mind.
"Well, I'll give you a hint. You have met him before." I was beginning to think who he was talking about when all of a sudden he charged at me and hit me with the butt of his gold sword. It felt as if I was hit by a lightning bolt. I tried to get up but before I could move he was on top of me, the point of his sword inches away from my neck. The strange part was I never saw him move.
"So you were the one who defeated the Titan lord, Kronos," he said sarcastically, "Well, I guess even Titan lords have bad days."
My face was blood red with anger and embarrassment. "If you are the one, who will defeat him, then all is lost." I was beginning to get mad again. I closed my eyes and began to think about a huge wave of water hitting the guy and knocking him off me. Then something even more shocking happened; the kid got off me and started to walk away.
I stood up and watched him. He turned around, and took his sunglasses off. His eyes were full of stormy blue anger. "You don't deserve to die by my blades," he said, and disappeared in a flash of light. The boy was gone and I was alone. Then I heard a familiar voice, "Percy, Percy? Wake up, Percy." I closed my eyes and concentrated, and before long I was waking up in my cabin, looking at the most beautiful gray eyes in the world.
