Percy
We finally got up the mountain.
"Are *huffs* we there yet?" Grover asked.
I nodded and look around. Then I see Nico on the same dragon I saw in my dream.
"Nico!" I called.
"Percy!" Nico flied over to us and landed on a large rock next to us.
"You're here!" Nico jumped off the dragon and ran up to us.
"Percy, come over here," Nico pointed over the ledge where he flew up from.
"What is this all about?" I asked. "Why did you call me in my dream?"
"I'll explain in a bit," Nico responded. "Just come over here."
I went over to the ledge and looked over it. There, over the ledge, was a small city with a large building in the center.
"That's the city of the Dragons," Nico explained. "This is where I got ol' Ambraxas." He stroked his dragon gratefully.
"I don't get it," I asked. "How did you get Ambraxas?"
"From the temple in town," Nico responded. "They called me in my dreams too, telling me to come here."
"Then what happened?" I pressed.
"Ambraxas hatched once I went up to her," Nico explained. "She grew in a couple weeks to get to the size she is now. I'm testing her flying ability."
"Cool," I said. "Why am I here?"
"The elders think that the children of the Big Three can hatch the three dragon eggs they have," Nico explained. "I called Thalia, but she hasn't come yet."
"Oh," I respond. "So I just walk down there and a dragon will hatch?"
"I think so," Nico said. "Unless it's someone else. Sorry guys, but only Percy can come. Ambraxas, can you take them back to Camp Half-Blood?"
Of course.
I said goodbye and ran after Nico. Before I got too far, I heard Grover. "Does that mean we walked up here for nothing?"
Yeah. Ambraxas responded.
I walked to the town and enter the main temple.
"Hello Nico," an old man said to us. "How are you doing?"
"Good," Nico responded.
"Is this Percy, son of the sea god?" the old man asked.
"Yes," Nico replied. "Can he go to the Dragon chamber?"
"Of course," the old man said. "All the way down the hall."
We walked down the hall and stopped in front of a large door with lots of markings on it.
"Go in," Nico instructed. "I'm not allowed in during the ceremony."
I walked in and stood below the two pillars. On the pillars were two eggs.
I looked at one and waited. Nothing happened. I walked over to the other one and waited. Nothing happened.
"So I'm not the chosen one?" I asked out loud. I sat down and thought for a moment. "Maybe the eggs were fake? Maybe the real eggs were somewhere else. I walked around the room, looking around. I looked at the wall's markings and tried reading the symbols they made.
"The…world's…most…important," I took a step back. I could read the words! "Eggs…" I continued. "With… the… most… power… which… can… end… the… world… To… awake… them… speak… these… words…Vericath…Zorcth…Dragonfyre. Then the whole room started shaking.
"Whoa," I took one step back and the whole wall opened up. Inside were two eggs. Then one egg started hatching! It finally broke open and there standing was a blue dragon.
Hello Percy. I looked around. "Did you say something?" I asked. Yes. Are you going to get out of this chamber anytime soon? It's getting dark. I let her crawl on my arm and walk out of the room.
"Hey!" Nico ran toward me and looked at my dragon. "Whoa! Another dragon hatched!"
I know. It's amazing isn't it? Nico chuckled and gave her a small piece of deer meat. Yum.
"Hey," I say. "I don't even know your name. What is your name?"
I am Tiaritar.
