It was a normal day, or as normal as it can get when you are a half-blood. I was at school with my cousin. We were in math class. Because of us being half-bloods we never get a break even when we are at camp. While we were in class a man walked in I recognized him, it was Chiron our "teacher". He told our teacher that he needed me and my cousin Steven. When we got out of class I could tell something is going to happen. As he talked Steven started to slow down his walking then Chiron slowed down the speed of moving his wheelchair own the hall then I slowed down. Then all off a suddenly I slowed down and then a few seconds later everything slowed down. The clock moved slower, the kids walked slowed, and then time went back to normal.
"What just happened Chiron".
"Time slowed down".
"Yeah I think I could see that".
"What do you think could have caused this"?
"I have no clue but we better get moving".
We hoped in a cab and took it to Grand Central Station. When we got there we saw that there was a man standing there with a mask over his face. We got out of the cab. As soon as we stepped into the station time slowed down again. The huge clock stopped then it went backwards and it gained speed the station turned into a flash of lights but as it turned in to a flash of lights Annabeth, Percy, and Nico appeared right next to us in a flash of light the station moved faster but it was moving backwards. Then it stopped. The station was gone, everyone was gone except Annabeth, Nico, Percy, Steven, Chiron, and well me. All of us were in a daze. We all passed out on the ground. When I woke up Chiron was gone. I woke up the others, but Steven was hard to wake up. About 30 min later Chiron came back with a strange look on his face.
"I think we are in Greece".
"What"?
"Is it in ruins"?
"It is not in ruins".
We were all puzzled. Because one minute were in 2010 at Grand Central Station then the next minute were in Ancient Greece.
"How can we be in Greece".
"Well you know that man that we saw in the station"?
"Yeah"
"Well I think that he was Morpheus".
The mysterious man had been the god of sleep and we didn't notice. The school was the first sign but we didn't think anything of it. The station was our last stop for 2010, now we are in Ancient Greece with three other friends that appeared at the last second before we appeared here.
"Wait how did Percy, Annabeth, and Nico get here".
"I don't know".
"Percy why don't you tell us how you appeared at the station".
"Well I was at school when there was a flash of light and I was at the station".
"Okay, now you Annabeth".
"Well I was at camp making some new designs for buildings and like Percy I saw a flash of light and I was at the station".
"Okay 2 explanations out of 3"
"How about you Nico"?
"Well I was at a funeral ,which was the most often of things that I would do, when a huge flash of light had blinded me at first, then I was with you guys at the station".
"Well now we know that that we were summoned here for a reason".
"Wait if they were brought to the station by a flash of light then why did we go to the station"?
"Well Steven, it was this message that I received from the minor god Helios that I was to take you and Brenden to the station for a summons".
"Then why the station when we could meet him on Olympus"?
"He said that we couldn't meet at Olympus because it was none of the others gods business to know what he needed them for".
"Well what did he need us for"?
"Like I said, he never told me he just said meet me at Grand Central Station at noon".
"Well that still doesn't make any sense".
"Doesn't mater now I say we just keep moving".
"Good plan Brenden".
We all got up and followed Chiron. I was curious to where we were going but I didn't want to ask. We just walked and we could see mountains and hills as far as you could see. When we finally came to a stop it was for water. As we were walking we came across a field of olives. We were al hungry so we stopped for some olives. When we ate our fill we kept going and it was getting dark so we found a good place to rest for the night. Steven was first for look out. At midnight Steven woke me up so I was on look out. When day broke I woke everyone up so we could get going.
"Hey Chiron where are we going"?
"Well I think that we should go to Sparta I have a old friend there that can help us".
"O Right I forgot that you are like 1000 years old".
"So how long do you think it will take to get to Sparta from here, in fact where is here"?
"Well right now we are about 66 miles East of Sparta".
"Cant we just ride on your back I mean you can run about 10 miles every 30 seconds if you tried"?
"That is true but, wait I can carry all of you on my back".
"Hop on, we going to Sparta".
As we rode on Chiron's back everything was a flash of lights, just like the station. We rode for about 2 minutes when Chiron fell to the ground with us tumbling over him. We got up hurt but still alive. When we all got up we were surrounded by Spartan scouts. They had ambushed us. They have been following us since we first arrived in Greece.
"Who are you"?
"Quiet Steven".
"No! you be quiet Brenden".
"Enough fighting before I destroy you, your our captive".
"Μεταβείτε το κοράκων".
"Why did you just tell them to Go to the crows"?
"I don't know".
"Well I think you made them mad Steven".
"I realize that why do you think that they are starting to walk towards us".
"Good point".
"Stop where you are Spartans".
"Chiron what are you doing"?
"Bring us to Sparta I need to speak to Ανδρέας".
"Why should we bring you to Andreas".
" Because I am Χείρων trainer of heroes".
"Very well then, we will take you to Sparta".
It was hard walking to Sparta we had to climb mountains and scale walls. It had taken it out of us but the Spartans kept going like it was nothing. By the time we stopped for a break Chiron had to carry us on his back we were so wiped out. I wasn't even sure how Chiron made it past the walls we had to climb but his did. When we were about 5 miles away we could see the town, well it wasn't really a town more like the size of Queens. When we arrived the warriors were charged with little kids and each one of the warriors wives came out to see their husband. The amount of the warriors that had captured us was maybe about 20 men so it wasn't a huge crowd, or at least as big as a crowd that I have seen. The commander of the squad showed Chiron when Andreas was so we went with the kids.
"Here he is Chiron".
"Thank you".
"Wait before you go can you tell me what his name is"?
"My name is Αχιλλέας".
"Achilles just who I needed to talk to"?
"What is it that you need Chiron".
"How did you___"?
"Know your name, I make sure that who ever comes into Sparta that I know who they are".
"I see".
"Know what is it you need"?
"We need help getting back to our time".
"We"?
"Yes we, there is five others".
"Well I think I can___".
"Sir I have a message".
"Well what is it"?
"Its Helen sir she was kidnapped by the Trojans".
"How"?
"They have no clue how she didn't come to the morning meal so they went to go check on her but when they got to her room she was gone".
"Well then lets get ready".
"We will head out tomorrow".
"Yes sir, I will go get the soldiers ready".
"Good, go know".
"Yes sir".
"You do know I came here to see Andreas right"?
"Yes I know Chiron but he was found dead this morning, his throat was slit and the knife was still there it was a Trojan knife".
"So know we are going to attack Troy"?
"Yes and we could use your skill and the skill of the half bloods that you brought with".
"Very well I swear myself and the half bloods to the Spartan military".
"Good my servant will help you and the children that came with you to help you get settled".
"Their names are: Percy Jackson, Nico Di Angelo, Annabeth Grace, Steven Doig, and Brenden Field, they are all great fighters".
"Good we could use anything that we can get even if they are well trained children".
While Chiron was gone me and Brenden were making friends. Annabeth and Percy were going around looking at the buildings. I think that Percy was just listening while she talked about the buildings. Nico of course, was at the graveyard. When we saw Chiron coming towards us with a sad look on his face like he was just told that his time had come.
"What is it Chiron"?
"Were going to war".
"You mean the Trojan war because were around that time period".
"Yes now go get every the others and prepare for tomorrow".
"Okay".
I went to go get Annabeth, Percy, and Nico because Steven was with me. When we got every one we got back to where we were staying at and got ready for bed. Tomorrow will sail to Troy.
