Hiya! Glad you're here to read my story. This is my first fanfic so criticize it for me! Also I hope you enjoy!:P
Third Person POV
Percy swam through the clear and beautiful water to the shining surface above. As he broke the surface of the lake he was greeted by the sight of his dear friends from Camp Half-Blood, Camp Jupiter, and The Kanes with their trainees. He immediately found his footing, and waded through the water, up the sandy bank until he was completely out of the water.
"Nico! Thalia!" Percy called. "Hey, I didn't expect you two to be here!"
"Well, can't say I'm not glad to be reunited with Kelp Head and Death Breath." Thalia rolled her eyes.
"Did you have any 'turbulence' on the way here?" Nico asked. "'Cause, I had a few souls interrupting my little trip here."
"A lot. The mermaids, giant squid, nymphs, and so on all tried to stop me and make me help them with a little problem with their water source; I couldn't just leave them so I helped. It worked…... eventually." Percy shrugged.
"That's nothing, a bunch of lost souls here and there started to crowd and ask me to either, raise them from the dead, or guide them to the Underworld. So I guided them. Took me a few miserable minutes." Nico sighed.
"I feel ya, bro." Percy fist bumped him.
"While we have this little warm reunion here, the wizards are waiting for our fantastic arrival, which you three have been holding up. So please, continue, because obviously we have all day!" Annabeth smiled coldly at the trio.
"Ok, ok, we're going." Thalia muttered nervously.
"Nice to meet you too, Wise Girl." Percy smirked.
"Whatever, Seaweed brain." Annabeth retaliated by rolling her own grey eyes.
"What am I? Invisible?" Nico sighed.
"No, more like not here at all." Thalia joked.
"Oooh, low blow, Zombie brain." Percy smiled.
"I can't hear you!" Nico plugged his ears and shouted.
"Nico can you sto-." Annabeth began.
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
"Dude, time to stop." Percy gestured for Nico to cut it out.
"I CAN'T HE-." A hand slapped over Nico's mouth.
"Shaddap! The Head master and Chiron are saying something, idiot!" Thalia hissed.
"Hello, fellow demigods, magicians, and wizards!" Dumbledore announced, "On this very eventful day, as all of you probably know, we are going to begin the 100th TriGodZard Games!"
"Among all four schools or camps, the most worthy candidates are to be picked! Unlike the Triwizard Games there will be a team consisting of members all from different camps and safety is not guaranteed at all. And, unlike the Triwizard Games we will be using The Bowl of Dragons. Happy Gaming! For any additional questions about the big Game, please ask us." Chiron smiled like everything he had just said was an everyday announcement.
Meanwhile across the fields...
"Did he say The Bowl of Dragons? Is that like a new version of The Goblet of Fire?" Ron wondered aloud.
"And what about the TriGodZard Games? And the 100th time? Since when?" Harry muttered.
"Well, Professor Mcgonagall lent me some books about this topic that are actually really, really rare, and well, it said that there had been quite a few times the TriGodZard Games happened, but it slowly evolved into the Triwizard Games. Oh, and well, the Bowl of Dragons is a supposedly a very ancient and highly dangerous object of magic." Hermione explained.
"Highly dangerous, huh?" Ron asked nervously.
"….. Well, do you know what the Bowl is used for?" Harry asked.
"Well, actually it's also highly classified information, so I don't know."
"…. Okayyyy." Ron nodded slowly.
"Well, I guess this'll be one highly eventful year." Harry smiled.
"Mmmhmm." Ron and Hermione nodded looking around them at all the different people.
"What are the demigods, and 'magicians' anyway?" Hermione bit her lip in frustration.
"Demigods are the children of either greek or roman gods and random mortals, so they're half god half mortal. Magicians are 'possessed' by Egyptian gods so they also have the power to do what their gods can do, even though they're 'possessed' they have full control over their bodies… it's just like sharing a body. As for demigods they also have traits passed down by their parents." A random voice explained.
The trio turned around to where the voice was coming from. It was a blonde girl with startling grey eyes, that seemed to analyze them, that made Harry think of Professor Dumbledore's x-ray eyes. Beside her was what seemed like her boyfriend, since they were holding hands. He had windblown black hair with sea green eyes that seemed to churn with all sea related colors. He could've really looked like Harry if he didn't have the tan, and his powerful looking body. Also his eyes were more animated and alive, like they could take in everything around him. Plus, when the Trio got closer they could smell something like the fresh sea air from him…. Which was kind of weird. There were also a lot of other people there around them that looked like friends. But first things first.
"Hey I'm Annabeth and this is Percy, my boyfriend." Annabeth enlightened them.
"I'm Harry, this guy is Ron, and Hermione." Harry smiled.
"So… um, I'm not sure if this is a personal question or what, but who are your parents?" Ron said.
"I'm the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, so I can manipulate the water, like freeze, boil, move, etc." Percy replied.
"Daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, at your service." Annabeth smiled.
"Cool." Ron grinned.
"Oh! So that's how you came here through the lake, right?" Hermione remembered seeing how Percy had arrived.
"Yeah, and as you can see I'm completely dry, thanks to my ability." Percy looked down at his body.
"Cool." This time it was Harry.
"So, um I have to go for like a little meeting of the counselors, do you want to come?" Annabeth asked.
"We can actually come? But we're not prefects, I mean I'm not a prefect." Harry said.
"Sure, you can come, we've heard that you're quite experienced with warfare and magic." Percy looked at him with bemused eyes.
"Well, I wouldn't say warfare…" Harry said nervously.
"Oh come on." Annabeth rolled her eyes, "I'm sure Chiron won't mind."
"Well, Hermione and Ron has to come anyways, and I'm sure that they'd like you to come with them." Percy said, earning nods from Ron and Hermione.
"But-."
"Then I guess I'll have to use force." Percy smirked.
"Wha-." Harry was cut off as he was suddenly hauled up on to Percy's shoulder and carried off to wherever this meeting was being held. Suddenly he was thrown into a chair with wheels like the ones muggles used.
"What an ungraceful entrance." Ron laughed as he entered the tent in the middle of the fields of Hogwarts.
Hermione snorted.
Percy chuckled, seated beside Harry who was staring daggers at him for what he had done.
"Well, glad to see you're all acquainted with one another." Chiron smiled.
"Yes, because teamwork will be an exception in the TriGodZard Competitions." Professor Dumbledore added.
"Anyways, all of the most important people of each camp were called here to be warned of the rules, requirements, and dangers of The Games and to retell them to anybody else chosen to participate the Games. Now for the rules, the main ones are;
1. Competitors are not allowed to kill one another.
2. Competitors also may not torture or hurt others in any other way while not fighting directly." Chiron listed only 2 rules, much to the wizards' and magicians' shock and the demigods' amusement.
"Really, that's all there is that you need to follow, so I hope you've got it all down in your head! Now for the requirements, we will provide weapons, but any competitors who wish to bring their own magical items will be allowed. Also wizards do not have to worry about their wands breaking for Ollivander himself will come and enforce spells that make the wands temporarily unbreakable." Professor assured the nervous wizards.
"Dumbledore and I are sure that everyone understands that The Games are a series of events that most certainly do NOT guarantee your safety and so all wounds and cuts are the competitor's responsibility. And yes, unless a competitor receives a fatal or serious wound only the other participating members are able to help. All competitors will receive a pack with everything that they might need, so no worries there." Chiron said cheerfully.
"Now that we have explained the basics of the Games, you must have some questions." Dumbledore said expectantly, "Harry?"
"Um, what's The Dragon Bowl for?"
"Excellent question Harry, the Dragon Bowl is like a much more powerful and dangerous version of the Goblet of Fire."
"Annabeth?"
"When does it begin?"
"In only a month, so that provides you with time to train and learn new techniques."
"Percy?"
"Uh, so random people from different camps are grouped together to make a team? Or, can we choose?"
"Good one, at least 2 people have to be on your team, but those 2 will be picked by The Bowl of Dragons, then you may add 4 people of your choice or less."
"Cart-?" Professor Dumbledore began, but was interrupted by a crash and one side of the side of the tent being ripped apart…..
Cliffhanger, weak, but worth it, right? I wonder what it is don't you? A monster? A dragon? A giant? A mob? Deatheaters? *evil grin* Oh, and sorry for the short chapter, I promise the next one will be MUCH MUCH better. *bow*
