Chapter 3
Journey of the Lost Sword
It was a normal afternoon, like always I was at school in Literature class. All of a sudden I hear this strange noise like a person yelling at someone. So I look out the window and find Percy getting yelled at be Ares the God of War. I raise my hand and say to the teacher that I feel like I'm going to PUKE! That always does the trick because it is like a one way ticket to get out of class. So I run outside and ask Percy what is going on.
"Oh nothing, I just have to find the Blade of Olympus by Sunset or Ares will punish me until the end of the century and I have no clue where it is."
"I'll help you."
"Really!"
"Yeah, why not?"
"Well aren't you in class?"
"Yeah."
"Let me guess you said that you had to puke?"
"Yeah."
"That always works. Then let's hurry. Ok where would the Blade of Olympus be?"
"I don't know."
"Well let's start looking."
"Hey did you find anything out while Ares was yelling at you? Did he give you any leads?" "Yeah he said that it would be with the one who calls himself king."
"So it would be with someone who was or is a king? I think I have an idea of where he is. He would be in Hades realm because I think that the king is King Minos who was the Minotaur's master and he is a judge in Hades realm."
"Why do you think that? I heard that he was going to steal something that was worthwhile."
"Ok that works."
"Great."
"I think I know where an entrance is to his realm without going to LA."
"Great." (30 min later in the tunnel that a great hero had taken that is in Central Park) "Dose it smell to you?"
"A little bit. (20 min later) "Hey look I see light at the end of the tunnel."
"I see it too."
"Push the rocks out of the way."
"Got it."
"This place looks different from last time I was here."
"Oh no!"
"What?"
"Look!"
"Great here comes some guards that don't look too happy. Here we go." (After several guards lying on the ground in pain) that was easy. (As we walked through the fields we saw poplar trees) that tree is dead or about to die. Yeah all the trees look like that down here hey look its Minos, he's getting away hurry.
(Just then he vanished in a flash of light) "Hey where did he go?"
"I don't know."
"Wait I think I know where he is."
"Where?"
"He's back up on the surface lets go." (Back in the tunnel but this time going up instead of down) "Are we there yet?"
"Almost I see a light up ahead." (As you and Percy burst out of the hole you see Minos getting away) "Hey stop!" (As you run into your cousin)
"Hey guys hey Steven we need your help to catch King Minos."
"Why?"
"He stole the Blade of Olympus oh no we got to stop him right. I saw someone in a rush heading over to downtown."
"Great let's go." (After 1 hour of looking for Minos you see someone looking right at you and you realize that its king Minos) "He's over there."
"After him!" (As Steven corners Minos in an alley in broad day light so he can't disappear and he is also in full flesh and will be easy to harm just like anyone else.) "We got you just where we want you Minos."
"That's King Minos to you."
"We don't respect you so why should we?"
"Because I can haunt you in your nightmares so you might want to be a little nicer."
"No they don't. Steven?"
"Yep. Had over the sword Minos or I will have to kill you along with the other monsters that have fallen to me."
"Why do you think that I will fall?"
"Because the gods know that you have taken the blade."
"What?"
"That's right before I got here I sent an Iris Message to the gods in the palace. They know that you have it, so hand it over or die."
"No!"
"Fine with me." (As Steven stab's Minos and grabs the sword)
"How dare you!"
"Oh don't worry you will suffer more where you're going."
"You can't do this to me."
"I think I just did."
"Noooooo" (slowly Minos dissolved into a pile of dust)
"You did it Steven!"
"Yeah well let's get the sword to Olympus."
"Ok let's go." (As you enter the Empire State Building) "We need to get up to Olympus right now."
"Fine hears the keys."
"Thanks." (10 minutes later) ding. Were here. Hurry we got to get to the palace. (10 minutes of nonstop running) were here at the palace. (You, Steven, and Percy enter the palace and give them the sword)
"We give you our thanks and for returning the sword and sending Minos back to prison you will get to keep it Steven for now you have the Blade of Olympus but I will drain all the power out of the blade but make it to where it will shoot lightning but it won't have the same powers that it used to have."
"Um, thank you!" (10 minutes later and on the streets of Manhattan)
"Thanks Steven for your help."
"No problem. Hey will I see at home?"
"Yeah."
"Cool."
"Alright see you there ok?"
"Ok."
