Well you guys wanted more and now, you got it.
But first, here's something I do with all of my stories, I reply to all my reviews.
Lolness98th: thank you for loving my story, and honestly I didn't think anyone would notice the Blades of Chaos... Good job for catching that!
HermioneHarryforever: more percabeth? Sure! But for every one she(I'm assuming your a she) asked why this story was rated M, its for future content, but I decided to keep it K+ for now.
AllisonBoyd: Yes, you kinda do sound like Aphrodite's kid.
Percy's POV
When I woke up, I was a bit surprised to find Annabeth standing right there. Alright, I jumped out of my bed. "Gods Seaweed Brain!" She exclaimed while helping me up and hugging me.
"Hi Annabeth!" Tyson yelled, making the whole cabin shake. Annabeth jumped and motioned towards the door. I waved good bye to my brother and we walked out. I wasn't surprised to see it was still dark out, me and Annabeth usually come out at early morning to walk. But what I was surprised to see was the whole Morpheus cabin awake and staring at where the sun usually rises.
"Why do you think they're up so early?" I asked Annabeth.
"I don't know, but I feel more awake than I usually do at this time. Like I slept longer." She replied, only a bit of worry in her voice.
I looked at the sky, the moon was full, but I could've sworn that the night before it was crescent. As I paid more attention, I noticed the whole camp starting to come out. It seemed a bit strange to me that Clarisse went straight to Deacon. Chiron and Mr. D came out and looked extremely pale. I tried to read Mr. D's lips, it looked like he said "no... not again..."
All of a sudden, there was a blinding flash where the sun(Apollo) should've been. Apollo's flash kept getting brighter and brighter, until it faded a bit, and fell. Straight down to Earth. Now, it was darker than I'd ever seen. You ever gone into your closet, shut off all your lights at night? Imagine that, but twenty times darker.
I couldn't see anything, but I felt Annabeth grab my hand tightly and whispered "Percy...I'm scared." I didn't say anything, I just tightened my grip on her hand and tried to find the rest of her. I heard a bunch of steps and talking head to where I remember is the big house.
I decided to lighten up the mood with a joke, a bad one at that. "hey look at this. At least you don't need your invisibility cap."
"yeah" she muttered, paying more attention to strangling my hand
Deacon's POV
Me, the rest of my cabin and Clarisse walked over to the big house. I needed to talk to Chiron and Dionysus. The sun chariot has fallen from the sky, Because of my father. He's done this before, back when Helios had the throne of the sun god, he cast his fog over the whole world to try and take over it. He had help from Atlas and Persephone, but the whole plan was foiled by the one called "the Ghost of Sparta". He was the same person to wield my own blades.
I looked over at Clarisse, she was holding a cigarette lighter to illuminate her face. She still looked beautiful, in her eyes I saw that she was unsure of what to feel. She looked fearful, at the same time confident. I wasn't sure if I should say anything, so I tried to stay strong and silent.
As I got to Chiron and Mr. D, they seem very grim. Mr. D was deathly calm and serious. "I need to speak to the gods." he said.
"That would be the best. But I need to ask a request to Chiron. For a quest."
"Alright, what would this quest be?" Chiron asked.
"To stop my father before he fully takes over." I replied.
He thought long and hard, his brow was scrunched and his gaze was focused. "Alright" he finally said. "You must speak with the Oracle and choose who can go with you."
"Alright." I said "whats an Oracle?"
Practically everyone around me groaned at my obliviousness. "What? I never really had a chance to learn much while running around Britain!"
"no" Lynx" started "You would've learned more if you didn't sleep so much!"
I repeated the same thing she said, but in a high pitched mocking voice. She sighed and said "lets just go find some one who can help us. Get a torch"
Percy's POV
Annabeth and I walked silently down the beach, hand in hand and head on head. We sat down on a random section of beach, we didn't know if this was our regular spot, but right now, we just want to be together. We both held our hands together and stared at the stars. We stared at just once constellation in particular, the constellation that was made by the Goddess Artemis after the huntress Zoe Nightshade died. As we sat and stared at it longer, it got brighter, and brighter before a collection of dust came before us and materialized into Zoe. Now if you can see me and Annabeth, we were probably as pale as ghosts. "Hello" she said a bit weakly "Why is it so dark?"
"Umm...how are you alive?" Annabeth managed to mutter out
"Annabeth? Is that you? Where are you I can't see!"
"No one can Apollo fell out of the sky" I yelled
"Not exactly" I heard Deacon say from behind, and thank the gods he was carrying a torch, it felt amazing to finally see again. "Who's your naked friend?"
"What are you-SWEET MINO'S GHOST!!!" I yelled while turning around to see Zoe, stark naked and trying hard to cover up.
"Um, I seem to be in a bit of a predicament" She said, now blushing wildly.
"Come over here" a red haired girl said "I'll get you some clothes, deary. Deacon, let her wear your jacket so she can be at least a little covered up"
He sighed a bit and gave his Slipknot hoodie to the red haired girl, who immediately draped it over Zoe and walked towards the Morpheus cabin. "So who's the red head?" I asked him
"My sister, Lynx" Deacon replied "who was your naked friend?"
"Zoe Nightshade"
"Ok, I need your help getting to the oracle"
"You gotta cell phone?"
"Yeah"
"Give it here"
He gave his cell phone to me and I typed in the number I memorized one year ago, the number of Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Annabeth scowled and held me closer. "Rachel Elizabeth Dare..." She almost growled
"Come on Annabeth, She's an oracle now, its not like she can steal me from you, plus, I love you more than anything"
She smiled and put her head on my shoulder happily. I waited for the call to be answered and after awhile it was. "Hello? Who's this?"
"It's Percy, your on speaker" I said
"Oh hi everyone I guess"
"Hi" Annabeth mumbled.
"Allo Poppit." Deacon said, making his British accent quite obvious
"We need a prediction from the oracle's spirit" Deacon continued
It was silent for awhile before Deacon's phone glowed green and snakes started to wrap around it. "You will be led be the warrior who always sleeps, to find the place where only the master of dreams rules. In the end you will reach your goal, only to lose, what you worked for most."
Deacon had extremely wide eyes as his phone went back to normal "Holy shit what the bloody hell just happened to my phone?!"
"An oracle's prediction, and watch your mouth while your in my Camp" said Mr. D from behind us. He was in ancient battle armor and looked deadly serious. "Deacon you must choose your group and leave now, I'm the only Olympian that's still awake. The minor gods are next and then the whole mortal world until Morpheus gets what he wants."
"I know what he wants" Deacon said "Iris, my stepmother and the wife of my father, has recently gone missing. No one knows what happened to her and My father went into a blind rage trying to find her. He works best in the dark so he got rid of Apollo. Now his fog will come and before that we must act quick."
"Great, THEN GO!!!" Mr. D yelled
"Clarisse, Percy, Annabeth, the naked girl, and Lynx" Deacon said "All of you prepare your things in a small bag, bring flares and anything that will catch fire. Your gonna need it."
Annabeth and I started packing our things, we decided to bring just two bags for the two of us(albeit packing is quite hard in very little light). We packed just torches, flares and random fireworks in one bag, and our clothes and other necessities. Tyson was pretty upset that he couldn't come, but he was understanding, especially since I decided to take his shield with me. When we walked out to the big house, we noticed they had lit all the braziers in camp.
When we got over to Deacon, I asked something really smart like "Hey, why are all the braziers lit?"
Deacon looked at me with all seriousness "So vicious monsters won't get into the camp. My father's fog can't go through fire or its light so we're all relatively safe at the moment."
"at the moment?" I asked
"I don't know how strong he'll get or how hard he'll try. So far I think he'll try anything."
"Yes, I will" a strangely familiar voice said from behind us. Deacon's eyes went wide in what looked like fear. He whirled around with his blades ready and flaming
"Father..." Deacon muttered. The man he spoke to was Morpheus. He has snow white hair, light blue eyes, and he wears nothing but a brown cloak. He has a smile on his face that says "make an enemy of me, and I'll give you a nightmare so bad your heart will stop."
Clarisse ran out to where we were carrying nothing but a long sword and a knapsack. She got one look at Morpheus and Deacon and knew something was up. She unsheathed her sword, not to attack, but to my surprise, to defend.
"your all idiots" Morpheus said "Those weapons won't do anything against me. The only one that stands even a ghost of a chance is Deacon because of his godly possession, but even he can't kill a god."
Deacon dropped into a lower stance, all traces of his fear were erased from his face. He rushed towards Morpheus about to stab him in his throat before Morpheus disappeared and reappeared behind him. Morpheus placed his hand on the back of Deacon's head. He fell and started to stir and scream. Mr. D materialized beside him and worked his godly magic to prevent insanity. Grape vines wrapped around Deacon while they all glowed purple.
Morpheus smiled once more and started to glow, we all turned away because he was turning into his true form, and looking upon a god's true form his suicide "I'll be seeing all of you soon" and with that, he was gone.
Dionysus and Clarisse stood over Deacon. He was sitting up, clutching his chest and rocking himself while Clarisse held him in her arms, shushing and comforting him. It was only the second time I saw her show compassion for someone other than her self. With a bit more of Dionysus' magic, he was up and normal. He was still taking deep breaths and had cold sweet running down his face. "That's what were dealing with."
Lynx and Zoe came from the Morpheus cabin. Zoe looked a bit out of place wearing a tight Led Zeppelin T-shirt and skinny jeans. I'm guessing she got the clothes from Lynx. Which made me notice something, Lynx wears classic rock clothes while Deacon wears death metal.
"well, are we all ready?" I asked
Everyone nodded "we have to walk, cars stop working in Morpheus' fog."
"great" I muttered under my breath "we have to walk all the way to Manhattan" Annabeth lightly punched my arm and we walked outside the border, and into the fog. I lit a 7-hour torch and we were off to Olympus.
Well, there it is, the second chapter
