Warrior of the Underworld
Percy POV
I just walked out of the arena towards the hunters leaving behind a bunch of staring campers but I had no time for that now. I needed to apologize to a certain Hunter of Artemis I saved. As I was walking I noticed that Lady Artemis was not here. I just calmly walked up to them and asked "May I speak with your lieutenant? I must apologize for my actions." One of the hunters stepped up and sneered at me while saying "Go away boy. She has no wish to speak to you." I just shrugged and said "Whatever. I'll just apologize to all of you then.""Whichever hunter I saved I am sorry for the way I held you while you were falling. I had no wish to do so but it was the only way I could save you. For that, I am sorry. Now I will be going before you guys try to pepper me with arrows. Good bye." I turned to walk away but I guess the hunter I saved stepped up to talk because I heard "Wait, boy. I accept your apology but please refrain from doing it again because I might have to plunge in arrow in your man hood." I involuntarily cringed at that and I turned around to see her smirking. I just gave her what she wanted I guess. I just replied with "Of course." I saw it was the lieutenant that I had saved. I smirked inwardly but did not let it show on my face as I walked away. I couldn't believe the famed lieutenant of the hunt had to get save by a male. I decided to tour the camp seeing as I had went straight to the arena when I got here. I walked to see people canoeing, practicing archery and sword fighting, the cabins, the stables, the woods, and my favorite spot at this wretched camp which is the lava wall. I know what your thinking, you have wings you can just fly? I don't use my wings a lot so they aren't as strong as they should be, but sometimes I like to feel the wind through my wings. I decided I would give it a try. I didn't need a harness though because of my wings so I just went right and started climbing. I dodged a rock as it shot out and jumped to the next rock outcrop. I had to jump again as lava shot from the side so I grabbed onto a foot hold and started making my way upward without a problem. I realized this Camp would be way easier than my training in the Underworld so I decided to slack off a bit. I just walked around the rest of the day and got to know a few campers. I met Clarisse, daughter of Ares, Beckendorf, son of Hephaustaus, Will, son of Apollo, and Thalia, daughter of Zeus. After the sun set I made my way to the Big House to get some sleep.
As I was told, the twin childen of Hades, Bianca and Nico were teleported into my bedroom as soon as I was ready to walk outside. I turned to them and said "Ah, good. You're here. I assume that Uncle has told you guys who you are and why you are here. Correct?" The older sister, Bianca answered saying "No, not really. Only that Greek Mythology is real, which I don't really believe, but we are children of those gods. He told me to talk to a man named Percy once we got here and he mumbled under his breath something about payback." I sighed. "This will be much harder then. Listen, that was your dad, and my patron. He is Hades and the payback thing, well, I kind of turned his room pink for a day." I decided to be blunt about it and not go into a long explanation about it. Bianca replied and said "You're lying." Nico then said "Really? That's so cool! What kind of powers do I have?" I sighed a big long sigh again. I looked at Bianca and said "Watch this and then tell me if you don't believe me." I brought my swords from the Underworld, summoned five skeletons, summoned a ghost from Elysium, pulled my wings out, and brought the shadows towards us. Bianca and Nico's jaws dropped so far, they almost hit the floor. I put everything away and started to laugh at their expressions. I just couldn't help myself. Bianca got out of her shock first and grumbled "Fine, I believe you. Whatever." I laughed which earned me a glare but I just shrugged it off and said "Let's tour this place after breakfest. I want to show you guys around." Nico was bouncing up and down excitedly and Bianca just had this neutral look on her face. As I was touring them around I started explaining their powers and their sleeping arrangements because there is no Hades Cabin. I told them they would be sleeping with me, training with me, and eating with me. I introduced them to my friends that I made yesterday. They all seemed comfortable with them which made me like them even more. I walked to the Big House and told Chiron "These two are the children of Hades that I talked about yesterday. I will train them in their powers and their weaponry and they will sleep in the Big House with me since there is no Hades Cabin. Is that okay, Chiron?" Chiron replied with "Of course, Perseus. You are the only one that knows them and the powers they have after all." I said "Just Percy, sir."
Two weeks later...
Percy POV
Well, I figured out which child is better than the other at powers and weaponry. Nico is better at his powers and he uses a sword. Bianca is better at weaponry and she uses a bow and arrow and hunting knives. She's kind of like the hunters. I wouldn't be surprised if she joined them soon. They are both not near my level but that is to be expected as I have trained since I could walk. I have trained them since sun up to sun down each day so really us three could take on the entire camp. We would have to use a little skeleton back up but still. Powers wise we would crush anyone. The child Poseidon sired is really a disgrace to Poseidon. He has these muddy brown eyes, stringy brown hair, and is really scrawny and only 5'3. The Hunters are still here which worries me. What happened to Artemis? Tonight is the night of Capture the Falg and we will beat the Hunters this time. Bianca, Nico, and I will crush them. Right now we are preparing. Bianca is getting out her black hoodie and black skinny jeans with black and white converse so she has maneuverability. They are also hard because of an enchantment gift from Uncle. He also gave her a Stygian Iron Bow and Arrow that turns into a necklace. Nico has Stygian Iron armor and a Stygian Iron sword that turns into two rings. One for the armor and one for the sword. Tonight is the night the Campers win for the first time.
The battle strategy is this: Bianca, Nico, and I will be the three to get the flag while the Campers plant traps and grow vines to slow the Hunters down and the ones who can't will be placed throughout the woods. I heard the horn which signals the start of the game. I nod to Bianca and Nico and we come up into a triangle position with me leading. We come across the first hunter as we cross the creek and I hurriedly knocked her out. I did not envy her when she woke up. Bianca let loose an arrow and a hunter fell out of the tree. Nico willed the shadows to trap a hunter and knock her out. We continued on at a steady pace occasionally knocking a hunter out. When We got to the flag I shadow travelled to it just as hunters to converge on us. Nico and Bianca summoned skeletons and I added my own to them to hold them off longer. I shadow travelled back to them and started running as fast as I could. Nico and Bianca were catch up but I had a lot more speed than them. I was about to cross the creek when Zoe stepped out in front of me. I looked behind her to see a hunter with our flag. I looked back at Zoe "Sorry about this. I want a fair fight after this though." I then shadow travelled behind her confused face and knocked her out with the pommel of my blade. I then stepped over the creek right before the hunter did. I jumped and fist pumped in celebration while Nico and Bianca laughed at my childish antics. Chiron bellowed "Campers win for the first time!" The hunters were glaring at me but Chiron had a warm genuine smile on his face which showed me he was pleased. Once we got everybody awake and we were walking back I jogged up to Zoe and said "Hey, I was serious about the fair fight. I'd like to try my luck against you. I've heard about you famed huntress." She smirked and said "Anytime boy, but prepare to lose. Got that?" As soon as she stopped talking the Oracle appeared in front of us and looked at Zoe before spewing green mist and talking in what seemed like three voices. I thought that was kind of creepy.
"Five shall go west to the goddess in chains
Campers and Hunters prevail
Thanato's child will show the trail
Titan's Curse he must withstand
and one shall die by their parent's hand"
I clapped my hands as the green mist flowed back in and Zoe paled. I said "Well, let's call a cabin counseller meeting to discuss this. You should be there Zoe, since its obvious it wanted you to lead this quest."
