The Dream

Percy Pov

I gave a groan as I pressed the snooze button on my alarm clock. I bolted out of my bed when I remembered that it was the first day summer. I get to go to Camp Half blood. See Annabeth and Grover with the rest of my friends. I pulled out my duffel bag and started to pack. I threw in my camp T-shirt with my jeans. I stuffed the rest of the things I'd need for the summer. I made sure I had Riptide with me. I smelled cookies. Yes! Mom's making her blue chocolate chip cookies. I ran downstairs with my bag. ``Good morning mom." ``Good morning Percy. I see that you slept?" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and said morning to Paul. I sat down when my mom bought her cookies out with pancakes. I stacked a pile of the pancakes and poured syrup. When I was done I ate some cookies with orange juice. I said bye to them and promised to be careful. When the taxi driver dropped me off he asked me if this was the right place. I chuckled and said yes. When I crossed the border Nico tried to scare me but I saw him. ``Oh man. Why didn't you let me?" `` Because it's fun death breath." We met the others and laughed as they told us about their year. The day went by and soon I was on my bed going to sleep. I should tell you I was expecting some demigod dreams but I didn't get any. My dream seemed to be a memory when I was a baby.

I seemed to be in a bed surrounded by some toys. The door opened and I saw a woman come over my crib. `` How are you my little Percy? Your daddy is going to come soon after the meeting. He's very proud of you. You look so much like him. One day you're going to be just like him." The door opened again and a strong man who looked like a leader stood behind her. By their crowns I guess they were King and Queen. ``How is he?" He gave me a finger and I held on to it. ``He has a strong grip just like his father." `` Yes and he has your leadership too." ``That may be but he has your gracefulness and loyalty with a warm heart just like you." They both turned to me and said, `` we both love you very much Percy. Never forget that."

I woke up breathing heavily. What was that dream about? They can't be my parents. I have them with me right now. I need to call mom. ``O' Iris pleas show me Sally Jackson New York." An image of my mom came up. `` Hi mom! I have a question." She looked up and gave me a smile and said, ``Percy! How is everything at camp?" "Great but mom my question is did you find me?" ``What do you mean Percy?" I told her about my dream. When I was done she gave a sigh, 'Yes and no. You see your real mother was a close friend of mine. They couldn't take care of you because the kingdom was in danger. Your parents were good friends with the dragons so your parents sent you somewhere safe. I was from there but I wanted to explore. They thought you would be safe with me." Memories started to come back to me. ``There were two things with you this necklace and this egg. The egg is a dragon. He is going to be your guardian and friend. You're going to be his rider." She knew that much. She sent me the things through Hermes express. I looked at the picture of my parents wanting to know more about them. How are they? Are they safe? Were they captured? I looked down at the egg and knew that no one can know about this. It was still night time so I put on some clothes and took the egg. I came out of my cabin and made sure no one saw me going into the forest. When I made sure I was deep into the forest I sat down with the egg in front of me. I picked it up and it started to wiggle. Cracks started appear. Soon the hatchling came out. The baby dragon was ocean blue with really dark blue. I picked him up and started to pat him. He gave soft growls at that. I started to think of names. I gave a small smile when I found the perfect one. ``Do you like the name of Ragnor?" when I said the name he nodded. ``I like that name." ``You can speak to me?" ``Yes I can speak to you through your mind. Our minds are linked." He started to tell me about my kingdom. The name was Elsmere. The place was beautiful and happy. My parents were great at ruling. The place grew and flourished. My mother was kind, gentle, graceful, and loyal but she was skilled so if she had no choice but to fight she would. That's what caught my father's attention. She was fierce. My father was a leader but laid back. He was like me. `` So what you're saying is that my parents are like me and Annabeth." ``Yeah I guess you can say that." I made a nest for him and left because I realised that everyone would be waking up now.

I walked out of the forest just as the others came out of their cabin Annabeth came over. ``Good morning Seaweed brain."``Hi wise girl. How was your sleep?" ``It was great and the construction on Olympus is almost done." Oh right. I should explain that. Annabeth was the official architect of Olympus. She got that job when we were sixteen after the Titan war. That was her reward. Now Olympus looks better than ever. ``Great. That means we can hang out more now." We went to our tables to eat.

Today was eggs with waffles with orange juice. Mine was blue of course. When we finished Chiron banged on the table to get our attention. ``Now for those who are new here welcome to Camp Half-blood! Those who returned welcome back! Now the rules don't go into the forest until fully trained and you must have armor with you. Tomorrow will be Capture the flag. Now go on and start your training!" We all gave cheers. Chiron got better in his speeches. I quickly went to sword training since I had to teach. After an hour on teaching them how to hold a sword properly I had free time. Those kids are excited to learn but they need to know the basics first. It'll take a while to make them masters. ``It won't take them a while it's going to take years for them!" Ragnor is that you? ``Who else do you think?" How do you know? ``I was watching them through your eyes." You can do that? ``Yea. We both can do that. Our minds are linked remember?" Oh yeah. ``Wow you forget fast. You're going to need all the help you can get." Hey! I'm not hopeless. ``Ok fine but I think you should visit Olympus and go to Athena." Why would I visit her? ``Just ask her politely if you could stay in her library for a while. There some books that you need to read. They're going to be helpful." Aw man why do I have to read some books? ``I already said the answer and I'm not going to repeat it." Fine I'll go visit Athena.

I went to the Big House to ask Chiron if I could visit Olympus. He gave me permission and told Argus to drop me off. I thanked him and went inside the Empire State building. I went to the front desk. ``Please give me the key for the 600th floor to Olympus." ``There's no 600th floor kid now get lost." I gave a sigh and uncapped my pen and put it on his throat. ``Just give me the damn key." He gave me the key and said sorry. I went in the elevator and pressed the button after I gave the key. I waited for the Ding! When I looked at Olympus Ii was better than before. Annabeth did a great job. I started look for Athena's palace. I finally found it. It had Olive trees with Owls on the branches. The temple looked like the perfect home.

I walked up and knocked on the door. After a minute she answered. ``What do you want?" ``Lady Athena I came here to ask you if I can use your library. I need some information on some things. I won't damage anything." By the look on her face she didn't expect me to say that. ``Fine but this better not be a joke or a prank." She led me towards her library and let me tell you this it made Russia look tiny. She showed me this pedestal and said, ``Say what kind of book you want like history but if it's specific say the title." After that she went somewhere in the library.

I gave a sigh and asked for the history book on demigods and Olympus. A heavy book came out of one of the shelves. I took it towards a table and started to read it.

5 hours later...

I finally finished the book and started to write about5 the information I learned. So far it was 7 pages. Yea Percy Jackson writing and reading! Apparently the book held a lot of good information. Did you know that in the time of Greece Zeus was afraid of the river gods rage? Wow the almighty Zeus scared of river gods. I stapled the paper and went back to the pedestal to ask about a book on castle secrets and architecture. I looked at the clock and realised that it was 12 o'clock. Wow I stayed that long? I saw Athena walking around maybe looking for a book? I quickly went up to her and asked her if I could borrow the book. ``Maybe there is hope for you after all. Yes you can borrow the book."

I thanked her and left. ``See it wasn't that bad and you learned new things. Now you're a little bit smarter than before." Fine it was interesting but why do I have to take a book about Architecture and secrets on castles? `` If you read this book you'll learn on how to find secret passages and buildings. Say in a war you have to make a fortress. You would know what material would be best." Okay I guess that makes sense but what about training? He gave a sigh, `` this is your training. Being a prince or a King has responsibilities. Your people should know that you know what you're doing. When you know enough about royalty you can start combat and skills." It made sense. He was telling me that if the people have a leader who doesn't know how to lead then they would die. They have to pick someone who knows what it's like to be a leader.

I paid the taxi man and went pass the barrier. I dropped off the book with my paper in my cabin. I asked the nymphs if I could get some chicken with coke. When I was done eating I went to arts and crafts. Annabeth asked me where I've been. ``I had some things to do on Olympus." was my answer. She didn't question me any further. We were given the rest of the day off. I took my book and went to the beach. I sat on the sand with water touching my shoes. I opened the book and started to read on how a castle was made.

There was a diagram on how they start. I got an idea and laid the book in front of me but out of reach from the water. I looked for a flat surface and started to make a model of the castle. Okay so first you have to make the base a square with an exact 90 degree angle...

Annabeth Pov

I was looking for Percy but he wasn't in his cabin or the arena so he must be at the beach. When I entered the beach I stopped in my tracks. Right in front of me was this huge castle no wait correction sand castle. I quickly ran towards the big house yelling out Chiron's name. He ran out of the door asking me what was wrong. ``Chiron come quick. On the beach there this huge-"I couldn't continue because Chiron picked me up and seated me on his back. We ran towards the beach with campers looking at us. When we reached there all the cabin counselors were staring at the castles. I went to talk to my friends asking them if they knew who made the sand castle. Chiron messaged the Olympians about it. They quickly came from a distance since they didn't want to ruin the castle. I and my mom were talking about the architecture. Hephaestus and Leo were talking about the structure while Poseidon was wondering who could make such a nice sand castle. ``Hey guys what's all this commotion about?" Percy asked us. ``I found this sand castle and were all wondering who made this sand castle. Why do you have those things in your hand?" He was carrying seaweed and shells. ``Oh to decorate the aquarium inside the castle that I made." We all looked at him. ``You made this?" my mom said. ``Yea. You guys can look inside if you want but please don't damage anything it took me a while to add all those things inside." He went inside and we all followed him. We couldn't help but gasp at the sight. The architecture was amazing it almost rivaled my mother's temple. He showed us the living room which caused Apollo and Hermes with their children go for the arcades that was in the corner of the room. Hestia made the fire go a bit higher that was in the fire place. He then showed us the bedrooms which had the medieval look yet it was modern showed us the kitchen was full of space and could hold a huge then showed us this room that us gasped. The room was like an oasis mixed with an amusement water the guys ran to to the water laid down on a beach blanket with an umbrella over her of us went to the pool.I turned towards Percy and saw him standing near and aquarium that was like the size of the dumped the things in and controlled the water to adjust them in the right place.

Posiden came up to him and asked him the question that was on everyone's mind."Percy how did you make this castle?No one has ever been able to do this with sand." "It was easy I just followed the instructions in the book that I borrowed from Athena instead of stone or wood I used sand." We all looked at him since Percy never reads a book."What?I'm capable of reading a book you know.I have proof and a witness." he took out the book and said," Athena knows that I asked permission to use her library and I stayed their for 5 hours." We all looked at my mom and she nodded."Now if you don't mind I'm going to go to the grand library and finish the book so I can add the defenses." My mom whispered in a squeaky voice,"Grand library?'' he gave a nod. We all followed him to the mom and I looked ready to faint the library was bigger than my mom's. Hers was like a quarter of it! "How did-" "I had a few titans who owed me a favor and I know people." We all went in and stayed their for the rest of the day reading.

Phew that was a long you like a little twist and hey Percy is just needs to read more next time!
