If you have any ideas/critiques dont be afraid to PM me i'm welcome to any sort of pos neg feedback about my writing just no hate please :)


When Percy mentioned flying, I honestly thought he was being a smartass, but when we walked outside I saw a horse grazing in the lawn in front of the school parking lot. Then I realized it was the same one I saw fly past my window. The horse was jet black and had a pair of giant black wings to match with it. This wasn't no ordinary horse this was a Pegasus. I swore I was hallucinating but that same gut feeling I had before was telling me I wasn't crazy.

"Holy crap is that a Pegasus?" I said more excitedly then I intended, and this caused a smile to break across Percy's face.
"Yes this is blackjack he is our ride back to camp" he said as if it was no big deal

" Wait so we are both supposed to fit on his back? Wont that hurt him or anything?" immediately after I said this I swore the horse looked offended. Hey boss does she seriously think I'm to weak to carry both of you?! And she better have brought me an apple or something because this wasn't a short trip across 7 states or anything. Spoke a voice in my head and I jumped at the sound of the voice. Before Percy could respond I blurted out

"Holy crap did he just talk" i said trying to show how much I was freaking out or insane I was. looking amused Percy just laughed

"Well I guess your abilities are starting to finally come around, I don't know why they have taken this long to develop, I wonder if it has something to do with the magic in your necklace. And no I was planning on you ridding Storm but the mare is to stubborn to wait around and probably flew off somewhere"

"Hold up what did you mean about my necklace and magic?" I said defensively and immediately went to grab it on my neck out of habit, just to make sure it was still there.

"Yes that necklace is the reason why it has taken me so long to find you, and your powers are so heavily masked by it, that you could pass for any mortal. The reason why I have been looking for you for so long is about a year ago after this huge war between the gods and the titans our father Poseidon told me that you existed and that he hid you from the war so you wouldn't be used as a part of the prophecy. He had that necklace specially made mixing celestial bronze, the only thing that can kill monsters, and the mist, completely hiding you from every god and monster from ever noticing the strength of your powers" he said all of this matter of factly as if he wasn't raging mad or anything.

"You have to be screwing with me, because there is no such thing as the Gods and I have no idea what your babbling about some war and prophecy, the mist and monsters. You sure you're mentally stable?" I said trying not to sound cruelly

"I know its probably hard for you to understand Lexie, but you're a demigod and the reason why we are brother and sister is that we both are the children of Poseidon, the God of the Sea. However we don't have the same mothers and I have no idea who your mother actually is, dad was pretty vague on those details. As far as the war and the prophecy all you really need to know is that there was a prophecy saying a child of the big three, Zues, Hades, and Poseidon will either be the savior or the destruction of Olympus during the war, and dad for some reason didn't want you to be apart of it."

"But why now does he chose to acknowledge me when I was forced to live on the streets my whole life!" I said sounding a little hurt.

" I don't know why, he never told me and all he said to me was that I was supposed to find you and i'm the only one who could convince you to come to camp with me. But to answer your other questions the mist is what helps hide monster and other baddies from the mortals eyes. You had it easy growing up since you were hidden in this mist. Most Demigods are noticeable to monsters at age 13 and if they aren't properly trained or guided to camp safely most don't live past 16"

"What do you mean I had it easy?! I freaking live on the streets and barely make it from one meal to the next, so don't you dare tell me I have it easy. At least you grew up in a home with loving parents to look after you. All I got was orphanages that could barely keep me in one house for a month before the parents sent me back." When I said this he seemed stunned about what I just told him.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize that you had to go through that, but now you are going to a place where everyone is a demigod like you and I, and hopefully a permanent home where you can stay and learn how to fight and develop your powers." When he said this the only response I could come up with was

"Prove it"

"Prove what?"

"These so called powers we have, I want to make sure your not just messing with me" this honestly was a bad idea because right after I said this Percy wore that smirk again and within 10 seconds all the sprinkler pipes had burst from underneath us and were flooding the grass. Then with a quick motion of his hand within the puddles in the grass waves began to form. It looked as if he created his own little mini ocean with waves that any surfer would envy.

"Whoa how the hell did you do that and you got to show me that trick!"

"All it takes is a little practice and concentration, and I can teach you some cooler tricks than that. But we do have to get going back to camp halfblood their expecting us to be back by dinner." Immediately after he finished speaking he let out a loud whistle and seconds later a gorgeous mare flew out of the sky and landed beside us. Ya ya I'm here I was just stretching out my wings I was on my way back anyways. Spoke the mare. She was a gorgeous grey Pegasus. She was grey with black speckles throughout her coat and her entire mane and tail was black. Her wings were grey with black accents that made her look like she was moving faster than she really was. She was strongly built and held herself with confidence despite being slightly smaller than blackjack. The most beautiful marking on her was the blaze that came down in a zigzag pattern down her face that looked like a lightning bolt. I mounted storm as Percy got on blackjack and immediately I knew I would love this mare.

Surprisingly ridding a flying horse was easier then I expected and was almost exactly like riding a horse, except the fact that you are hundreds of feet above the ground. When I was at the track I didn't just gamble on the horses, I loved being around them and would take any sort of chance to ride even if it meant spending some of my money on the occasional ridding lesson. I learned real quickly that storm was trying to test me, and see if I knew what I was doing. Finally after 10 minutes of her surging forward and bucking, and I still managed to stay on all she had to say was well you know what your doing I can give you that, I hope you don't have a fear of going fast. Storm said and immediately galloped ahead of blackjack. The thrill of ridding her was so indescribable I can't find the words to describe it. I've never gone that fast before in my life, just the rush of the wind in my face, feeling so free in the open sky and the thrill of it was all so exhilarating. What made it more entertaining was Percy and blackjack trying to keep up with us but obviously struggling to keep up the pace.

After about 2 hours of riding normal paced Percy explained to me that we were going to a place called camp halfblood, the only safe place for demigods to live, and explained how things worked there. He told me how the cabins at that camp were arranged by godly parents and that we did everything with our cabins, including eating every meal with them and living coed within the same cabin. He told me that the camp is run by the god Dionysus as a punishment for chasing after a nymph or something like that. He also to me that we are trained by Chiron the centaur in all of the mythology who trained all of the famous heros. Before I knew it time flew by and I thought I must be seeing things because I swore I saw the Empire State Building, which had to be impossible because there's no way we traveled all the way from Miami to New york in 2 hours. Then I finally realized Percy had never mentioned where camp was and of all places camp halfblood was in New York City.
