I d not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or the heroes of Olympus or the Kane chronicles, or the Norse one of whitch I can never remember the name.
The chapters I post should start getting longer.
If you would be so kind as to review I would be most pleased.
When I arrived at the dock there was only one person there, not knowing what to do I gave him the letter and asked if he knew where our boat was. He then grabbed the letter out of my hand and gazed over it and told me to follow him. He led me to sailing yacht pointed on and said that he would be back with our captain and supplies. I boarded the yacht and went inside of the cabin. My first reaction was to wonder how all of us would sleep with just two couches. I hoped that the captain somehow wouldn't need to sleep and just take us to our destination. That was until I opened what I assumed to be the bathroom a bed at bow of ship, without further thought I threw my coat down on the matters and threw myself on my coat, hitting my head against the low hanging ceiling in the process. I sat in pain for a while but eventually went back on the dock and saw Gisco arriving with a backpack being led by a tall tan man with a thin mustache who I assumed was the captain.
"Mago, this is captain Magi, he will be the one sailing." Gisco said as he approached me. "I have our supplies, enough food and water to last the three of us five days at most, so we need to get going as soon as possible."
"I have prepared your weapons in bag bellow in my room under the stern, divide them up as you see fit." The captain cried over his shoulder as he was already untying the ropes that held the yacht to the port. "Better get on soon"
"That's what he meant as sport weapons" I said when Gisco emptied the bags contents on the one couch that Gisco had to take as a bed.
"I'd hate to see what play weapons would be" Gisco said as he picked up baseball bat
"Sport weapons!" "How are we supposed to hunt Orthrus now"
"Wait, here are the chakrams he said grabbing three hollow disks with razor sharp edges "Made out of Mithril. Good, weapons that can actually harm Orthrus, and ooh a composite bow I'll take this." Gisco said as he handed me the chakrams
"And the arrows" I asked.
"Here" Gisco held up a bundle of silver arrows "all Mithril."
While the Greeks used celestial bronze and the Romans used imperial gold it's only fair that we got our own. The Mithril we used could affect all monsters, deities and mortals. The only drawback about Mithril thought was its rarity. With as few silver deposits as there are the only reason arrows were made out of it was for monster hunting. When the monster would disintegrate the hunters would always collect the fired arrows to use again.
"And what should we do with the rest of this junk?" Asked Gisco as he loaded the bow and drew back the string.
"Easy there, we don't want to sink this ship before we even make it ashore."
"Relax," Gisco replied "I'm just testing the tension."
"Get up here!" Shouted captain Magi.
"That was quicker than I expected."
But what we saw surprised us.
"I don't see anything."
"Yes, well things move"
"Whole islands don't just up and move though."
"Who said anything about islands Gisco, I'm talking about a monster.
"A monster, out here?" I tried not to sound nervousness but it probably showed.
"Yes, the two tailed serpent servant of Yam."
"The sea God?"
"Who also happens to be my patron god."
"Wait, but if the serpent is a servant of your patron god then why are you worried." Gisco piped in.
Captain Magi sighed and leaned on the wheel "All of the monsters are getting more aggressive he came up to ram the ship but I managed to maneuver us away. This also is bad news for you, I feel that this will not stop with just the Carthaginian monsters. You would do well to ensure that Orthrus is asleep when you enter it's cave."
My mind took me back to the man who had given us the quest. The more I thought about him and our quest unnerved me. Why would he assign two trainees to this important mission that was during a time that monsters were only getting more violent? The only two reasons that I could come up with was that he was insane, or that he had placed a high bet on us not returning, neither of which made me feel any better.
Eventually all three of us tired out. The captain started to look for a suitable island to anchor down. Luckily for us it only took us thirty more minutes for him to find a nice little cove away from the wind that had propels us this far.
"Don't worry," captain Magi told us "no sea serpents should be able to get to us this close to the land"
His statement settled me only a little for my main concern was Orthrus right now. As soon as my head hit my pillow I was out. You may see this as a blessing, but let me tell you, trying to determine what the dream I had meant took more energy from me than the rest did to replenish it. I haven't had a dream like this since I was worrying about my quest. So about seven hours. It started out how most of my dreams end on my couch in the blacksmith shop, but this time when I rose up I wasn't met with the familiar sight of the textile mill on the other side of the street but instead was a U shaped courtyard surrounded by twelve cabins. Including the one I had just came out of. My feet carried themselves over to a small pine tree that looked just freshly planted then my feet turned and led me to one of the cabins. It wasn't the best kept I remembered inside there were a variety of kids none of them appeared to be older than twenty and the youngest, who was standing just in front of me was no more than seven. She seemed to have been crying and was seeking comfort in a boy. Then my view changed half of my dream self went to an abyss and the other half went to a mountain. I remember feeling like I had just been electrocuted, all of my hair stood on end. The voice that spoke to me next sounded different in both of the halves the one in the abyss sounded manipulative and pure evil while the other voice coming from the mountain was strong and powerful booming through the mountains. However the two voices had one thing in common they were both saying the same thing "Free me, return the glory of the ancient ones, create a new golden age."
