Hey Guys! Welcome to chapter 2 of Pegasus um yes the last chapter was short but I wrote that chapter about 5 different ways and all the others just felt like they were dragging out the chapter. So here's a nice long chapter for you guys. I hope you like it. I literally finished this yesterday. SO last night I was editing and writing the authors note so I'm sorry if it's awful.
Disclaimer: I own Pjo just as much as I have a twin sister called Fred.
P.s I don't have a twins sister called Fred.
Silena drew back her wings. The crowd gasped. No Pegasus had ever done that.
Do you think the speakers can hear us? She asked
Speakers were the people who learnt the Pegasus language and were given to you when you were bound. They told you what your Pegasus was saying. I looked around. The speakers looked just as confused as everyone else.
No I don't think so. I reported back
Well I don't think the Pegasus can. Silena said. I looked at them Pegasus and they looked just as shocked as Silena and I.
Well this is f..
Language! Silena cut in
Right sorry, so continue with the ceremony. Silena reached her wings out around me again. Everyone in the throne room relaxed. Father brought out the crown and held it in front of us. Silena drew her wings away and laid on on top. I did the same with my hand.
"I promise to protect my bound one" I said as Silena whinnied and snorted.
Gods, that sounds offical, so if your in a life or death situation, I have I save you? Silena asked, I gave a small nod.
Ohhhhh.
Father took the crown away from in front of us and once again the magicians surrounded is with paint and oils and scents. Again we sneezed. I imagined the chicken that was going to be comin soon.
Could you get that image out of my head? Vegetarian here! Silena complained
Oh sorry.
Silena and I got through the rest of the ceremony without any distractions. Dinner was carried out. I think I literally drooled. The chicken looked amazing, I ran to my seat as elegantly as I could. I settled myself into the plush blue velvet and waited. Can I just say that we have way to many speeches. I mean theres the oh my daughter got bound speech, the congrats your daughter got bound speech, the I'm so happy to be bound speech (which I had to give), and the enjoy your dinner provided by us speech, though I'm pretty sure that when the towns people (yes they come) go home we add it to their taxes, as if they didn't have enough already. Half the country was in povety and heck I would never be able to do anything about it. See I have an older brother, Malcom and he gets the crown, I love malcom but his biggest problem is what sword he's going to use for his next training session (he has about 12). He doesn't care about the towns people. None of my family do. They think that because we live in a castle with plenty of food that so does everyone else. It's sick.
Anyway, dinner finished and I was dismissed. I walked through the windjb corridors of my home and entered my room. I shrugged off my dress and pulled on a nightdress and slid in between my silk sheets. Thoughts crowed through my head.
Is this normal?
Can other people do this? I knew my father could, sorta.
*flashback*
I was walking threw the hall of magic, where the magicians practised their magic. I wasn't allowed to be there but my older brother Malcolm had told me that if I went here I would be able to smell magic. He lied. Floor to ceiling book shelves lined the walls. I ran my hand over the spines, how to turn people to frogs and Pegasus 101 were only a few of the titles on them. A blank spine jutted out from the others, stopping I pulled it out. I opened it carefully, and gasped. It was the diary (or journal) of Zeus. I turned another page and read the first entry.
It is the first day of our trip to the new lands. We hope to find a place within the week. With me I have my trusted magicans, my family and a couple hundred towns folk. We have enough food and drink for three weeks. our old town is left in ruins from the monsters that attacked.
The entry stopped. I pinched the pages and turned to another page.
My beautiful wife, Hera died in child birth today. We are still on the road and are quickly running out of food and drink. I do not know what I will do if we run out.
For the last time I flicked to a page.
Today was magical. There is no other word to explain it. We were sitting in a field of the land we had discovered, and it was to be our new home. When a giant shaDow blocked the sun. I shielded my eyes and looked up. Hundreds of Animals were swirling around the sun. About three left the pack and landed in front of us. They were horses. With wings. Flying horses. my daughter Athena seemed to understand them and told me they called themselves Pegasus and that they lived in this great nation. I offered a treaty so that we could live here as well and they accepted. The treaty says that when our children come of age they shall be bound together. To form a new and strong friendship.
Every child in Athens knew the treaty. It was the first thing you learnt. Suddenly I heard hushed voices.
"Maalik, dont you understand?"
Maalik whinned sofly,
"this could mean war" Maalik was silent
"I agree" my father said and they walked away. I let out a breath I wasnt aware I had been holding. What meant war? I never found out.
*flashback over*
Trees russled outside my window.
Open up! I bolted up in my bed.
Silena?
No! It's the tooth fairy! Of course it's me!
What are you doing?
Open your window and I'll tell you.
I clambered out if my bed and over to the window and flung it open. Silena was hovering next to it.
Were going flying. She told me.
But what about the whole no touching Pegasus thing? I asked
thats a human law. Get on.
I looked over my shoulder.
What time is it?
Midnight
I had been thinking for a long time. I checked over my shoulder again. Nothing. I climbed over the window frame and onto Silenas petite frame. I hooked my legs over her wings. She started flapping them, lifting us into the air. The cool night air rushed past my face. I twisted my hands into her mane As we went higher. I looked down at the kingdom. Wow the castle isn't a circle it's more a heart shape I thought. Silena did a loop and I released my hands and flung them up and let out a laugh. Flying was the greatest feeling ever. I didn't want it to end.
