chapter 2: I get an awesome sword

I had a dreamed that I was in a hall that led to giant room with marble pillars and twelve thrones

which where all seated by giant beings that where in conversation, I already knew by the thrones that

that this was the throne room in Olympus the home of the Olympians, I edged closer to the entrance to

hear what they where conversing about "Artemis have you and the huntresses located the Titans

camp?" the gray haired one with stormy eyes and beard asked, I figured out that he was Zeus the ruler

of Olympus, Artemis shook her head "no, the camp is shielded from detection by an ancient but

powerful magic" she answered with a firm voice, just then another god dressed in battle armor spoke

up "we need to find and destroy that camp as soon as possible" he said with authority, after he spoke

another goddess with armor and gray eyes voiced her opinion "no Ares we must plan and think this

threw, rushing into it would only make it worse" she said calmly, Ares scowled at her "the longer we

wait the more powerful those Titan spawns become or have you not forgotten that the son of Kronos

still lives, he was saved by a son of Hyperion, with him on their side they are more powerful than

before Athena!" he shouted at her with anger and frustration, "there will be more than just the

DemiTitans to worry about the Titans must have a fair amount of monster allies, we need be strategic

so we will have a higher chance of success" Athena countered firmly, "i agree with Athena we should

not rush into this we should think and plan" a blonde haired god with sunglasses said coolly, "thank

you Apollo" she said gratefully, I was shocked by what I heard, how did the Olympians know about

camp Othrys? I thought to myself, then my attention was drawn back to the throne room when Zeus

called for silence "so we will take a vote on whether we should go with Ares's idea or Athena's" he

said with authority. So the gods voted and all of them except three agreed with Athena's idea "it is

decided that we will wait and think this threw and find the best plan for finding and destroying the

Titan camp" Zeus declared.

I woke from the dream in a sweat, realizing that I was back in the Oceanus cabin I checked my iPod for the time, the screen showed me that it was 3:00 AM, I put the iPod touch back on the dresser and went back to sleep.

The morning sun shone threw the windows in the cabin as I woke from sleep for the second time and check my iPod and saw that it was 9:55 so I had only had five minutes to get dress and head over to the dining hall to get to breakfast on time, it was my third day at camp Othrys and I had seen a lot but not all of the places in the camp, after i got dressed I headed over to the dining hall for breakfast.

When I got there everyone was seated eating breakfast, I sat down right across from Zack "good morning Nemo" he said cheerfully "good morning" I replied "sleep well?" he asked "not exactly" I answered "well then have some food it will help perk up your spirits" he said encouragingly so I clasped my plate and asked for chocolate chip waffles covered in powdered sugar and it appeared on the plate, I then grabbed my glass and asked for cranberry juice, when it appeared I began to eat. The food was delicious not as delicious as my mom's of course, while eating a question came into my mind that I asked after I swallowed my fourth bite "so what's on today's agenda?" I asked Zack "today we will be have the games" he answered "what are the games?" I ask "the games are an assortment of competitions such as sword fighting, foot racing, archery and chariot racing" he replied nicely "where do you chariot race?" "there is a path that leads to the chariot track" he said calmly.

after I finished breakfast I decided to head to the lake that was at the end of one of the paths by the cabins, I reached the lake and decide to sit on the edge of the pier overlooking the water I then saw fish swimming in bunches around the pier, I could understand what they where saying, they where all saying hello to me politely so I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small box of fish food that I got from the camp store and poured some into my hand and let it drop into the water, then eagerly the fish began to gable it all up.

I continued to stared across the lake taking in it's beauty "you like the look of the lake?," I turned around to were the voice was and saw that it was Owen "yeah the lake's beautiful" I replied, Owen came over and sat down next to me on the pier "i use to hangout here when I first came to camp, this place helped cope with having to leave my mom" he said calmly "so what's your family like?" I said curiously "well you already know my dad and his side of the family" he answered "yeah your dad is Atlas the Titan" I said knowingly "yeah well I have warrior blood on both sides of the family, you see my mom's parents where both Scandinavian, my grandma was Norwegian and my grandad was Swedish they told me that they both had viking ancestors so my mom like my grandparents was a very strong and brave woman that's probably the reason why my dad loved her" he said calmly "do you have any brothers or sisters?" I asked "i had a twin sister named Helga but she was very sick and died a few days after she was born" he sighed looking down into the water with sad eyes "I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked that question" i said feeling ashamed "it's okay, I have gotten over the grief I'm sure Helga would have wanted that if she was alive" he said to me sadly "that's one of the reasons why I hangout with Alice and Alex, when I look at them they make me think if my sister was alive we would probably have been just like that" he said with a hint of laughter in his voice while he looking across the lake taking in it's peaceful environment "i know they almost make me wish I had a twin" I laughed thinking of the way they argued with each other.

A question then came into my mind "so what type of power do you and the Atlas kids have?" i asked curiously "we are very strong, we are far stronger than a mortal and we are near invincible, onetime I was jumped by a gang of teenage deliquesce I had manage to take most of them with my great strength but one of them was armed with a wooden baseball bat and swung it at my chest but amazingly the bat broke in two it didn't even hurt that much it felt like getting hit with a plastic toy light-saber, they all ran off after seeing that" he answered casually. We talked some more getting to know each other and he told me of how he and his DemiTitan siblings wanted to get revenge on Artemis and her huntresses for the disgraceful defeat of Atlas, revenge was a fatal flaw for both him, Seth and many of the Atlas kids, they would long for vengeance when something was done against them or a loved one, it was a common trait with Atlas and Kronos.

I decided to head back to the training coliseum to get more battle training before the games started, as I walked back I saw a glimpse of the forge that was worked by the Telchines who made the camp's supply of armor and weaponry, when I had first went to the forge Zack told me that the Telchines where far better metalworkers than the cyclopes.

when I got my first look at them I was pretty speechless, they had faces that where shaped like a dog's and plump little bodies, they all held metal items in their hands, the one that I guessed was the leader came over to us smiling "well it's a pleasure to see you here Zack" the leader said in a almost squeaky like voice "it's nice to see you to Neadran" replied giving a little bow, the Telchines then turned his gaze to me "and who is this?" he asked curiously "this is Nemo he is an Oceanus kid like me" Zack explained patting his hand on my shoulder, "it's a pleasure to meet you Nemo" Neadran said shaking my hand "nice to meet you to" I replied returning the hand shake "so what can I do you two?" he asked me and Zack in a cheerful squeaky like voice "we came to see if you could provide Nemo here with a weapon of his own" Zack answered politely. Neadran gave me an examining look with his flipper like hand covering his canine like chin and was deep in thought, then his eyes brightened up "i have a perfect weapon for you" he said happily and then strode off into the storage room, a few minutes later he came back gripping something tiny in his flipper like hands "hold your hand out Nemo" he said calmly, so I held my hand out, he then dropped a ring onto the palm of my hand "a ring?" I said plainly "it's not just a ring" he said chuckling "but then what does it do?" I asked questioningly "remove the crab shell from the ring" he answered, at first I didn't get what he was talking about but then I saw it a tiny crab shell on the place where jewelry was placed on expensive rings, so I took it off then to my astonishment it turned into magnificent sword with a sea green hilt with sea pearls decorated over it and a good sized blade that had an almost glowing blue like color to it "this sword is wave cutter." Zack whistled in amazement "wow Neadran you and Telchines sure have outdone yourselves I mean is that even made out of celestial bronzes?" Zack exclaimed "yes it is but we thought it deserved a more beautiful color than bronze" he explained "thank you so much, you guys are one the coolest creatures I've ever met!" I said full of joy "no problem I could feel the sword as if it was calling out to you, they say that some weapons can have a life of their own" Neadran said calmly "well thank you again Neadran we have other stuff to get to now" Zack said coolly "well then bye" Neadran said with a smile, we both turned around and walked towards the exit to the forge waving our hands goodbye.

I still marveled at the beauty of the ring and the sword it became as i continued walking back to the main clearing then turned it back into a ring and stuffed in my pocket, the dream I experienced last night came back into my head and refused to leave it just seemed to keep nagging and nagging in my brain so I decided to go tell Prometheus about my dream.

I reached the main clearing and headed over to the big house, when I got to the big house I saw the Empousai known as Molly on the front porch with an open sketchbook in one hand and a pencil in the other drawing in it, she then noticed that I was standing right in front of her and looked up from her sketchbook "what do you want Nemo?" she asked with a little bit of annoyance in her voice for being interrupted while doing one of her favorite Hobbes besides killing Demigods " I would like to see Prometheus" I answered politely "he's in the lounged" she said then got back to drawing in her sketchbook.

while walking past her into the big house I caught a glimpse of her drawing, the drawing showed me in a battle torn like new york city with wave cutter colliding with Percy Jackson's blade riptide as we where locked in fierce combat. The picture sent chills down my spine I had heard that Molly could draw the future so could the scene in this picture be in my future maybe or maybe not you see I never really believed in fate my mom didn't ether she told me that we all have a choice that shows what destiny we have, so with that thought I decided to not worry about it and focus on remembering all of the dream I had so I could tell Prometheus.

When I got into the lounge I saw Prometheus relaxing on a couch with a magazine in his hands and looked up "hello Nemo what can I do for you?" he asked calmly "i had a dream last night that is very important that I wanted to tell you about" I answered a little nervously "well than go on tell me then" he asked politely so I told him everything about my dream, he then rubbed his chin deep in thought "it would appear that you had more than just a dream you had a vision" he stated "but what does it mean?" I asked confused "it means that we will have to be more careful, if the gods side with Athena than they

will be even more dangerous" he answered "but how did they find out about this camp?" I asked worried "that I do not know, it could be that we might have a traitor among us or they might have spies fallowing the other DemiTitans when they are away from camp" he replied smartly, his face then lightened up "don't worry we have all sorts of magic spells protecting this camp and a draken, and we already have a plan that we have been trying to complete for months" "what plan is that?" I asked curiously "not now Nemo you will know about it when you are ready" he answered calmly "ready for what?" "revolution" he said nothing more after that so I said goodbye and walked out the lounge but before I left called "if you ever have anymore dreams like that come and tell me." I nodded and walked out of the big house.

While in the clearing I was just about to head off to the Colosseum when a camper sped past me at high speed almost bowling me over then stopped and turned around to head straight toward me, I recognized that it was Rex, he had sandy colored hair and wore camouflage shorts and a wild life t shirt, Rex was a son of Epimetheus, Epimetheus was the Titan in that gave all the creatures except humans their natural abilities, so his children could use the abilities of any creature beside humans and immortals, like they could use the hawk's high speed flight and it's incredible eyesight or use the cheetah's speed, one of their favorite creatures was the ant, the ant's abilities increased their strength by fifty times and gave them the ability to climb almost any surface not to mention the ants agility, but they could only use the abilities of one animal at a time but it only took them a second to switch,

"hay Nemo, you going to the Colosseum for some final training for the games?" he asked cheerfully "yeah I want to be as prepared as possible for the sword fighting tournament" I replied happily "well your going to need it for the sword fighting tournament because me, Owen, Alice and Alex are all going to be competing in it even Seth" he announced "well then it's going to be pretty wild." Just that a small figure no bigger than a cat marched up to us, stopped in front of Rex and looked up at him, the figure was made out of clay with a bulky human like body, it than spoke "master Michael wants you to come to the entertainment room to play him in a chess game that you promised to do right now" it spoke with a earthy and growl like voice, Michael or Mike as we called him was a son of Prometheus, Prometheus kids where pretty smart and could create and animate clay figures and gave them commands to carryout immediately, the Prometheus kids called them golems.

"okay, okay I'm coming" Rex replied to the golem, he then turn back to me "well it look's like I have to go now, but I will see you in the sword tournament" "yeah" I replied "great see ya" he waves as he runs off to the entertainment room with the speed of a cheetah, I then continued on my way to the coliseum to continue training for the tournament oh man I am going to need to practice, practice, practice if I want to survive this tournament without getting completely crushed.
