Chapter 1
Percy was running. Not towards anything, but away. Away from something. Something that he did not know what it was. He ran through the darkness, twigs and leaves snapping under his feet. Suddenly he burst through the dense forest, his breath coming in ragged gasps. He came to a clearing, and the moon was shining so brightly that he was momentarily blinded by the bright light.
Come to me. Suddenly, a voice rang out in his head, come to me, my young hero. You shall lead the others to victory and expel the Dire powers and restore the Radiance to the world. You shall succeed, my hero. Sudden bright light flared up, blinding him completely.
Percy woke up with a start, sweat running down his back. "What's wrong, Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth was staring down at him, her eyes full of worry. "Hey Wise Girl," Percy muttered out, images from the dream still flashing in his eyes. "You were screaming in your sleep," she said. "Kinda common, for a demigod, huh?" "See you at the breakfast then."
Sitting up, Percy looked around blearily. Come to me, the voice had said. As he put on his shirt, Percy saw an odd-looking bracelet with a slight sea scent to it. What is this? It wasn't here before… Feeling curious, Percy reached out to grab the bracelet. The moment he touched the bracelet, the world started spinning 360, and he blacked out.
LINE BREAK
Artemis ran through the dark forest, the Moon shining as brightly as the Sun. There was a powerful monster nearby, one that was quite… unfamiliar. Maybe it's just that I have grown too old…. And forgot some of the ancient monsters that used to roam the world. Following the scent, she followed it through the dark night, intent on destroying the foul creature.
Bursting out into an opening, she realised that she was wrong. Terribly wrong. It wasn't a monster – it was a monster rising. It was so powerful, that its rising scent was as strong as that of Typhoon's. And if that thing wakes…. Nothing will stand before it. Pulling out an arrow from her quiver, she stalked silently towards the reforming creature – and failed. The creature turned around immediately, its horn gleaming in the moon. I am Magnus. It spoke, I shall have revenge. I shall defend my kin against the powers that governs the Earth. I shall DESTROY! The entire ground rumbled, sending out a shockwave that knocked Artemis off her feet. Dazed, she weakly tried to fight back, but it was all futile.
Suddenly, an arrow encased in ice appeared out of nowhere. Like a silent whispering, a couple more arrows found their mark on the beast's forehead. The enormous beast roared in anger, but was unable to move, due to the fact that ice now entirely covered him. With a slicing wail, another arrow sprouted out from the beast's heart, and finally, it lay still.
Still not being able to comprehend what exactly happened, Artemis just stood there, staring at the fallen beast. Unlike any monsters, it did not dissolve – it just lay there, unmoving. Quickly turning around to see her saviour, a gust of cold wind blasted right at her face. When Artemis revered, her saviour was gone, the only evidence that he, or she was here was the ice around her.
