Percy

I was lying on my bed when I heard the crash I woke instantly and so did Nick my half-brother we ran outside to see. A tree fall soon everyone rushed out of. Their cabin looking up the storm was crazy it seemed it would tear through anything. In its path the clouds were pitch black darkness and. Then it happened something came out of the heart of the storm. The campers including me gasped what came out of the storm was like nothing we had ever seen before.

It had the head of a beautiful woman but kept flicking back to. A majestic lions head while the rest of her body was human she wore. A lion skinned dress and while she descended. The storm clouds begin to disperse and only the moon and stars beamed brightly as if happy appearance of the woman the camp soon turned into chaos everyone thinking we were under attack. I rushed looking for my girlfriend Annabeth I soon saw her running to Chiron Annabeth!

I yelled she looked around wondering where the sound came from she locked eyes with me. Then we ran towards each other where Grover I yelled over. The noise I don't know she said we looked around but did not see him. A hand touched me on the shoulder. I uncapped riptide and spun around with lightning quick speed my blade just inches away from. His neck Aaaah! He bleated Percy what the Hell! Sorry G-Man it's ok anyways. You know what the heck is going on here Annabeth and I both shrugged confused. We all wondered who the visitor was. Soon the whole camp was poised for action their blades, spears, and, bows gleamed like ice and. They were all pointed at the mysterious woman then she looked at me and spoke

Lay down your weapons half-bloods. I come in peace no one attempted to move or dare lay down their weapons who are you. Chiron yelled in a booming voice she smiled as if it was a joke why Chiron don't you recognizes. Your own stepmother everyone gasped in shock. I don't know why I never cared or paid attention much in lessons about Greek gods and goddesses it seemed much easier to have my girlfriend Annabeth tell me. These things I looked at her dumbfounded and she huffed at my ignorance think seaweed brain.

Kronos is Chiron's father while his mother is the nymph Philyra while Rhea is the wife of Kronos. I was shocked suddenly aware of whom the woman was Rhea mother of. The Big Three but I though she faded long ago so did I and if.

I guessed from Chiron's expression so did he and the Olympian gods. They should have guessed though after all her sacred animal is. The Nemean and regular lion there was no way she could have faded. Annabeth soon quieted when the goddess began to speak. I have come here to collect six demigods and one satyr to train and take back to my home I will call them now when I am finished please step forward Jason Grace Son of Zeus, Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena, Leo Valdez Son of Hephaestus,

Frank Zhang Son of Ares, Hazel Levesque Daughter of Hades, Piper Mclean Daughter of Aphrodite, Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon, and last the Satyr Grover Underwood. Chiron I promise you I will take care of these Children no matter what and. If you don't let me leave it could be the downfall of Olympus. Go he said and train them well step-mother

We disappeared in a flash of bright light once we were at our destination we all gasped at what we saw. We were in a huge space that was the size of a football field. It had a temple that was decorated the color of a lions skin and red that was the color of Ares eyes there was also a patio with a flat screen TV and a huge dining table for all of us to sit including rhea which I had no doubt she would sit at the head of the table. There were regular mortal lions on one side and. The monstrous nemean lions on the other but what stood out the most was. The 35 ft tall nemean lion it towered above all the others. She was standing watching regular and monster lions both. Like a mother hawk watching over her children. Everyone gasped at everything we saw but.

It ended quickly when I had pulled out my sword. I didn't know what was going on and now a lady kidnaps us and. It was not any lady it was the lady the great titan rhea Mother of the big three. Ok what the hell is going on! I yelled please grandson put your sword away. I flinched at what she called me but stayed in an attacking position ready to strike if needed. I want answers now. For example why did you bring us here and what did you mean the downfall of Olympus. If I tell you will you put your sword away I nodded. Ok so listen carefully demigods.

One day I was sitting in my temple when two great divine being entered. I was surprised because none can enter my domain without my permission. I was so surprised I got ready to strike them but. They told me to wait and they told me who they were and why they were there. They were the great pridimoral god and goddess Nyx and Ather.

Someone gasped I looked over to see it was the blond haired girl named Annabeth but I thought they faded long ago it looks like we were all mistaken young Annabeth. They told me how a threat is rising even greater than Kronos himself and only you eight will be able to stop them. That is why I have brought you here to train you. The question is are you ready to take on the challenge.

It had been a while since we had come to the temple and relaxed with the lion lady. But at least we got 2 days off but here the day was the one I dreaded. Ok rhea said time to test all of your strengths. Leo didn't want to do this he wasn't much of a fire all he could do was summon fire and produce things from his magic tool belt ok did you get that Leo huh! What! Ugh I said you and Annabeth team up against Percy and Grover. Great Leo though no he would embarrass himself in front of everyone. He stepped up to the ring rhea created reluctantly. Ok Annabeth said listen I will go after Percy since I know his fighting style Grover won't be much of a challenge so you brain him got it. She said it with a little smile so it kind of scared me but I knew what to do ok I said. Ok listen up demigods I will test all of you to see your weakness and your strengths now no maiming or killing now start!

Annabeth rushed at Percy with her knife. I pulled out a huge hammer ready to attack Grover but. I never got the chance to he started playing on his reed pipes me and Annabeth were held together unable to move. Yes! Grover said with triumph but I had something up my sleeve that no one knew about. I summoned fire to my hands to Grover's surprise everyone stared at me with shock but.

I wasted no time I surrounded myself I an inferno and burned the vines to ashes. I shot a fireball at Annabeth and freed her and. luckily she wasted no time resuming her attack on Percy. I smiled at Grover ready to get burned I said and I jumped at him. I could see I would have trouble he blocked my first attack I took care to limit my strength so I would not snap his reed pipes like a twig.

I knew what to do he cut me with his dagger. I jumped back but it wasn't over he rushed at me but I had just enough time to sidestep when he swung able to catch his hand and light it on fire but not as much to cause him a 3rd degree burn. He dropped his dagger and I turned and knocked him out with my hammer. You could hear the resounding thud against his head. Sorry man I said. I looked around to see Percy and Annabeth engaged in a ferocious battle. I shot a fireball at Percy but he just doused it with water I shot three more. He had to look towards them but they didn't even faze him.

That was the only distraction Annabeth needed to knock Percy out and help us win the duel. Annabeth Chase and Leo Valdez Win! She revived Percy and Grover but they woke with groans of pain come on Annabeth why did you have to hit me so hard ya I can barely feel my horns Leo. The last duel went by quick Frank and Hazel won the last duel.

I still had my adrenaline pumping from yesterday I can't believe I won an actual duel against Percy Jackson the happiness was all over my face. I was walking down the hallway in the temple since I couldn't sleep I decided to explore soon. I got fascinated there were pictures on the wall of middle aged guys, one was tanned, another looked deathly pale, while the last one showed someone with dark blue serious eyes that seemed to burn holes in me. I realized they were Zeus, Poseidon, and, Hades.

I moved on as the pictures were giving me a weird vibe in the dark. I heard footsteps soon after walking for a while I stood frozen hoping it wasn't rhea as the person got closer I recognized curly brown hair, and, smelled her rose perfume Hazel I said my heart skipped a beat I hated when it did that while I was around Hazel. Leo she said yea what you doing up so late I asked?

just exploring I couldn't sleep me either do you ever wonder what rhea has in store for us yea she said all the time. I saw the sun coming up through a glass window. I got to get back before they realized I am out here me to she said well see ya in the morning Hazel I said you to Leo. I jogged back to my room and closed the door. I jumped in bed and closed my eyes ready for sleep to take me. AAAAHHHH! my alarm went off I slapped the button as it stopped great I thought no sleep. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen were everyone was waiting.

Everyone looked up and said hey I sat down beside Jason and asked him what was going on he said we're waiting on rhea. As soon as he said that a bright light appeared into the kitchen and rhea strode in while grabbing a bagel and taking a bite before talking. Nyx and Ather visited me last night again she said we all sat up waiting for what she had to say they told me it was time for you to go on your quest. I disagree you have barely had any training but well I cannot defy their wishes. They gave me a prophecy It goes like this she said. Eight shall travel to man in Atlanta,There they will find out what once was lost, to be claimed or destroyed a war will be fought, If claimed the sword will turn golden, From there they will travel to the Death's Cave, Where the fate of Olympus is decided to be either saved or razed.

I looked around the table at all the shocked faces it left us all dumbfounded most of it was clear while the rest was only just a mystery for all of us.
