Chapter 4

A Day of Training and Memories

When I awoke the next morning, I was still worried about Nico, and also a bit excited to get to training. I still had my trusted sword from long ago, and used it over the years to practice. Yet I still decided to go along with the training that the camp offered. It was still fun, and hard, archery still wasn't my strong point, even after I nearly shot someone's arm off. I apologized before meeting Quintus in the Sword Fighting Arena; I needed to train for what was to come.

When in there I again saw the purple-like bruise on his back, I chose not to ask him about it, I'd find out when the time was right. We fought for what seemed like hours before we both took a break. I was enjoying this challenge with my teacher, he was trying to fight me like he would playing a game of chess, but the sad thing is for Quintus, is that I'm quite the hard book to read. After all, you can't defeat someone as old as me without trying to think through all of the possibilities.

Then again, I had a feeling that he was older than me, but I didn't it show. After about five to six hours later, we had finished sparing, and decided to go to dinner. I sighed as I went to sit at my table alone, it was upsetting for me to sit by myself, but then again I dealt with this once, I can do so again. Idly as I ate, I remembered what it was like a long time ago when I went to camp. Along with the second day that ruined my life.


Flashback….


It was a sunny day in Camp Half-Blood, though there were very few campers there because of the Depression; one camper still came every summer until he was ready to face the world for a while. He was the only Son of the Sea God who went to camp anymore, since the others are older and don't even know of their heritage. Though he was young and courageous, he was still a kind hearted boy, he was always alone however, and no one ever went near him. Even the older campers, who were his friends, at times wouldn't come near the boy.

He had olive tone skin, midnight, raven black hair, and sea green eyes. It was me, I was so happy back then, even when times were tough I still put a smile on my face to keep everyone else happy as well. Even my girlfriend, at the time, Cassandra needed to remember how to be herself every now and then. It was hard for everyone at the time, I still smiled, yet even now, I think that Cassandra never felt anything for me.

It has been so long, I never mourned her death, but I was still sad when I found out she was killed by an empousai. An Ironic fate, but still a sad one at the same time, she had dark brown skin, bright blue eyes, and long braided black hair.

I remember that last day of camp for me, it was about two week before my birthday, and the war was nearing it end, well I think it was anyway. Either way, my father and mother made me come back to Forks Washington to discuss something with me, something about a prophecy. Sadly however, before I left, I saw the Oracle of Delphi, she was a very nice girl, until my Uncle Hades cursed her for what happened to Maria. But that isn't important right now, what is, is that just before I was about to leave camp, she ran up to me, and said she had to tell me something, and it was important.

I had turned to her and smile, as I always did, and asked her one Hades of a fateful question. After my obvious first one, "Hey Delphi, how've you been?" I asked once she was in front of me. That day, I was wearing a black T-shirt, shorts, and black high top converse. Well along with my Camp Half-Blood bead necklace, I had eight beads, and yeah I went to camp when I was young since my mom worried so much about me.

She just smiled before answering, "Not much Kelp Head, but I need you to ask me a question. I've been having a lot of visions lately of a very large prophecy, and I need you to ask the question."

It was when she said those words to me; my life was beginning to be destroyed, yet even as I look back, I knew that even if I was going to lose everything I once had, I still would have helped anyone out who asked. "Sure thing, Delphi, hmm let me think for a second okay." I wanted to ask if the prophecy was about me, but I had a feeling if it was as big as she said, then it would definitely be centered on Olympus itself.

So I asked the question that began a horrible chain reaction. "Okay Delphi, I have to ask, do you think something is going to happen to Olympus as the years go by?"

The second I said that, her eyes went green, and she spoke in that slithering serpent voice of the spirit of Delphi inside of her. As she looked at me she said, with the entire camp watching by the way, don't remember how they got there, but they were there:

"A half-blood of the eldest gods,

Shall reach 16 against all odds,

And see the world in endless sleep,

A hero's soul, cursed blade shall reap,

A single choice shall end his days,

Olympus to preserve or raze..."

After she said that, she passed out, and I didn't feel all that good anymore. I even admit it, I was afraid, not for myself, but for my cousins, Nico and Bianca di Angelo. They were both children of Hades, and would be in danger, as w0ouldI since; I was the only son of Poseidon who could fulfill that prophecy yet even then I wanted nothing more but to make sure my two younger cousins would be alright.


End Flashback…


I was done with dinner by the time I finished remembering my past, I sighed once I left, not even bothering to go to the campfire tonight. I wanted to think, and I didn't want to be around anyone, incase something… unforeseeable happened.

I left to go into the forest, since it would be the only place I could think clearly, I looked around, to make sure no one was watching me, before I took off my pants, the only clothing I had on, of course. Then I let the fire inside me consume as before, before running through the forest, trying to find somewhere to lay down and think. Unfortunately when I did, I saw Quintus looking around the back end of Zeus' Fist.

I stayed low to the ground so he wouldn't see me, yet unfortunately I figured out who he was, once he disappeared behind the rocks for an hour before coming back out. I knew he wasn't a spy for the enemy army, but I had a good feeling that he was hiding from something that no one, except one, can escape from. I had a sinking feeling in my gut, that the man before me was Daedalus.

Once he was gone, I went back to camp, after I released the fire in my veins, and ran back to camp, hoping no one would see me. That night, I had another dream, only this one, didn't help me out anymore than the last one did.


Well that's it, sorry it's short, but at least it's an update and I won't be updating 'Forbidden Love' for a while, need to come up with a good idea for a new chapter and none are coming at the moment. Well either way, please review everyone :D
