Chapter One: The Prince in the Making (Percy's POV)
Running, is one of the things I am good at. I started running since I was seven, I got involve at many fights eventhough I was a kid. Then because of poverty and discrimination I started stealing food for me and my mom that until one day she died because she protected me from those guards at this country. I can still hear her voice echoing through my head telling me one thing: Run. Now I still stealing food for my friends of course, they were my only friends others would just either ran away from me or throwing stuff at me to go away. I clenched my fist, all of them don't have the right to do that eventhough they're rich they should'nt treat others like that. This must stop that's why one of my dreams is to rule at least one of the kingdoms at this country. Which seems impossible to others but not to me, that's why everyone is making fun of me but that's where my nickname came from "The Prince of Slaves". They nicknamed me that because I am really good at running and causing trouble at the 10 kingdoms at Olympus. Probably you will ask what's my name so my name is Percy Jackson and I'm 16 my mom is Sally Jackson. I don't know who is my father but my mom said that he left and never came back again. My home is the center forest, why center?, because it is located at the center of Olympus others call it The bridge forest because you have to cross the forest to go to one of the 10 kingdoms. The 10 kingdoms are ruled by either a king or a queen or both. The Kingdoms are:
1. The Sky Kingdom- ruled by King Zeus and Queen Hera. It is known for having a large supply of Celestial Bronze
2. The Sea Kingdom-ruled by King Poseidon and Queen Amphrite. It is known for plenty of beaches and good Seafood.
3. The Underworld-ruled by King Hades and Queen Persephone. It is known for places where they have excellent jail security systems eventhough it is very easy for me to steal there.
4. The Love and War Kingdom-ruled by King Ares and Queen Aphrodite. It is known for the famouse spots for couples and the excellent military enforcement in war.
5. The Solar Kingdom-ruled by King Apollo. It is known for a place where there is a lot of gold and people who are creative.
6. The Lunar Kingdom-ruled by Queen Artemis who is known for having great hunting skills
7. The Fire Kingdom-ruled by King Hepheastus. It is known to have the greatest weapons ever found.
8. The Garden Kingdom-ruled by Queen Demeter. It is known for the unique way to design a kingdom.
9. The Travel Kingdom-ruled by King Hermes and Queen May Castellan with his son Luke who I greatly despise because he discriminates. It is known for a great place to rest for travelors.
10. Athens-ruled by King Fredrick Chase and Queen Athena. It is known for being a place with order and discipline because all of the people there are educated.
Athens...I haven't saw her since I was twelve years old. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever met, I still remember her blond hair and those gray eyes. I saw her alone when I stopped by at Athens. I decided to follow her and I ended up in an abandoned building as I saw her crying as I approached her she was startled and she suddenly hugged me which suprised me. Then she started telling me her problems. As she was talking I heard steps and I heard a voice echoed at the building saying,"Milady?",. The girl said that I should go because they found her. I ran to the forest and I never saw her again.
I ran at the forest and found a lot of treehouses and this is it my home, Camp Half-Blood, where slaves/orphans or thieves live. We are exiles at the kingdoms and considered troublemakers. Chiron the leader of this Camp, he's in a wheelchair but knows how to fight. He teaches us combat to protect ourselves not for bad. I started to climb a ladder to my cabin where my friends and I live. As I got there I opened the door and said
"'Sup guys"
"The Prince is back!" Leo shouted
Leo Valdez, he is weird, funny and has a way with tools and machines. He is an orphan and was a slave until I saw him when I was 13 and I helped him escaped his cruel owners. He has dark brown eyes and curly hair with elfish features and he is known for his devilish grin.
"Hey Leo, where is Jason"
Leo pointed to a tall guy who is currently cleaning his bunk. Jason Grace, a role model and is fond being a leader. He is an inch taller than me, has blond hair and electric blue eyes. He is the second friend I had in my whole life and I can depend on him on my problems.
"Jason" He looked at me and I tossed him an apple.
"Eat"
"Is it bought or steal?"
"Both, where's-
Then a Chinese boy with buzz cut hair approached me and said:
"Where's the food"
I toss him an apple and said:
"Hey, Frank"
I found Frank Zhang when I was 14 just unconcious in the middle of the forest and I got him at Camp and I realized that Frank was good with tactics and archery. He is a good strategeist too when me and Frank ran into some trouble with some guards at the Sky kingdom.
"Frank could you tell me where the tartarus is Nico?"
Frank pointed at a really messy bunk, as I pulled the sheets I saw a boy with really messy black hair and drowsy black eyes looking at me like saying,"Why did you woke me up?"
"Food, Nico you need to get up."
Nico just yawned and ate the apple in silence. After a while he started talking and said:
"So, where can we get dinner? Chiron said that the food supply isn't enough to cover the 50 members at camp. The 5 of us are the ones who are supposed to find our own dinner."
"How about the Sky kingdom?" Leo suggested
"Do you remember that we got wanted posters and almost got arrested in that kingdom?"
"The Travel kingdom?" Frank suggested
"No. How about Athens? That could be a good idea."
"Are you sure Percy? What if we got arrested?" Jason asked worriedly
I don't care even if I'm arrested, I have to see her. No matter how it takes, it's been a couple of years yet I haven't forgot her face but I couldn't shake this feeling inside me that there's something wrong, I just couldn't tell what it is.
"Positive."
Leo stand at his bunk and screamed:
"Everyone, the prince has decided our destination. Forward to Athens! Fall out!"
I smiled, silly Leo. Then we started running towards Athens, but this feeling is still there. I just hope that nothing will happen tonight.
