Alright, here it is. The fifth chapter of the crossover! This is the longest chapter I've ever written so I hope you like it! :)
PERCY'S POV.
Percy Jackson.. Young Percy Jackson! Arise!.. I groaned, then turned over in my hammock, but then my back ached. Wait, I wasn't in my hammock. I snapped open my eyes and noticed that I was alone, on the dock. Annabeth and I must have fallen asleep watching the stars. Or maybe it was just me who fell asleep. Annabeth wasn't at my side. Confused, I sat up. It was morning. I looked around and found Saphira standing on the grass a few feet away. I yawned, then stood up and stretched. My back hurt. I guess that's what happens when you fall asleep on a dock.
Finally! Your awake! Your a heavy sleeper. Saphira said, I grunted in reply, walking off the dock and over to Saphira.
"Yeah well it's hard to wake up when you fell asleep really late." I said, Saphira blinked.
"There he is!" I heard a voice say from a distance, I turned and found Chiron and Grover walking up to me. I wiped the crust out of my eyes, I was still just waking up.
"What's going on?" I asked Chiron as they approached Saphira and I.
"Eragon is awake." Grover interupted Chiron, my eyes went wide.
"He is?" I asked, Chiron nodded.
"Follow us. He needs to know the boy who saved his life." Chiron said, and Saphira, Grover, Chiron and I walked to the infermary.
I hope this Eragon guy, doesen't attack me like Saphira did.. I thought, Saphira growled.
Fool. You know I woulden't. She responded to my thought.
Diddn't stop you from scratching my chest. Thank god I went to the lake last night.
I thought.
How did you heal so quickly? I have never seen a boy heal as quick as Eragon could cast a spell to heal his injuries. Saphira asked me, well, that was one simple anwser, I'm the son of poseidon.
Do you know of the big three? Poseidon, Zeus, and Hades? I asked. Saphira hesitated.
I may know about the gods but I do not know about the 'big three', if you ask me. Saphira said, I sighed.
Well, the gods we're allowed to come to earth and fall in love with mortals. Then they have kids. Wich are half-bloods. Demigods, if you put it in correct terms. I am a demigod, so is Annabeth, and everyone else at this camp. We are here to train and learn to defend ourself and develope our powers. My dad is Poseidon, god of the seas. That's how I could heal. The water gives me strength.
Well, that's interesting. Who knew, that there are people not so different as Eragon. He can use magic with spells, and you can control water. What about Annabeth? Saphira asked, I sighed again. Annabeth. I still can't believe that she kissed me last night.
Daughter of Athena. The godess of wisdom. I thought, then I looked at Chiron.
"Where is Annabeth?" I asked, Chiron looked back at me.
"I believe she is at the infermary already. So tell me Percy, why we're you sleeping on the dock instead of your cabin? Something could have happend last night and we woulden't be able to find you." Chiron said. Oh crap. What was I suppost to say?
"I needed to swim in the lake and heal my chest. I guess I must have dozed off or something." I said, the look in Chiron's eyes made me think that he diddn't buy it.
"Aye." Was his reply, and we we're quiet the rest of the way to the infermary.
As soon as we got to the infermary, I noticed Annabeth bofore I saw that Eragon had his sword pointed at her.
"Annabeth!" I yelled, running into the cabin and where Annabeth was.
"Who are you?" Eragon said, his tone was serious, but behind his eyes, he was scared. I just knew it.
"I'm Percy, this is Annabeth. We are demigods. Don't be scared.. We're not going to hurt you. This is camp Half-Blood, your in the infermary. I found you and your dragon Saphira at the gates. She diddn't let me near you at first and she scratched me. But I healed and Saphira trusts us." I said as quickly as I could, in case he would try to hurt her.
"How do I trust you? Wait.. Saphira? Where is she?" He asked, still pointing the sword at Annabeth.
"She's outside, right over there." I pointed to the entrance, Eragon looked over.
I'll tell him everything. Saphira said, I looked back at her and she blinked. Then I looked at Eragon, who just stood there silent.
"How did I get here?" Eragon asked, his tone back to angry.
"I could ask you just about the same thing!" I snapped, Eragon held his sword more firm.
"One moment im at the Varden gates and the next thing I knew I was falling through the ground! What is this place?" Eragon snapped back.
"camp Half-Blood. Where demigod's train and discover their powers." I said, Eragon then pointed the sword at me. Without a second thought, I grabbed riptide from my jeans pocket and enlarged it, pointing it at Eragon. He grinned.
"So your prepared for a fight that you won't win." Eragon said, a smile escaped my lips.
"So you think." I said, holding Riptide in both hands.
"Annabeth, get out of here." I said, Annabeth gripped my arm.
"No." She said, I looked at her, tension built up in her eyes.
"I said, get out of here. I'll be fine." I said, Annabeth looked as if tears we're forming in her eyes. Without another word, she walked out of the infermary to join Chiron, Grover, and Saphira.
Don't underestimate Eragon. He's well trained with a sword. Saphira warned me. I took caution.
Well so am I. I thought, then I heard Saphira growl from outside.
"How is it that you can communicate with Saphira?" Eragon asked me, I shrugged.
"I don't know." I said, and within a second, Eragon slashed his sword towards me. I deflected it and kicked Eragon in the stomach. He backed away a few steps and this was my chance. I flung towards Eragon, ready to strike. But before I did anything else, Eragon tensed his shoulders and blocked every strike I tried to do. Eragon was strong, he was well built and a good fighter.
After many hits and blows, the sweat trickling down my forehead and my neck, Eragon and I we're circling eachother.
"Your good. I'll give you that." Eragon's corner of his mouth twitched.
"More than you will ever know." I said, and ran towards Eragon. He blocked another blow and I punched him in the jaw. Eragon grunted and kicked me in the leg, knocking me over. Before I could do anything else, Eragon was beside me, and flung his sword towards my face. Luckily enough I blocked it, but then Eragon tried yet again, I blocked and kicked Eragon with both feet and he went tumbling backwards. I had enough time to stand before he gained control, then Eragon tried to hit me again, I dodged it and went in for another blow, wich Eragon deflected back and tried to kick me again. I dropped Riptide, grabbing Eragon's foot and twisting it until he screamed in pain. Then I threw Eragon until he hit the wall of the cabin. Before Eragon could stand, I knocked his sword out of his hand and mine was pointed towards his neck. Eragon raised his hands.
"I give.. Please don't hurt me." He said, and Saphira roared. Panting, I still pointed the sword at Eragon until I knew he was sincere about him giving up.
"I told you I would win." I said, Eragon grinned.
"You played a fair fight." He said, and made Riptide smaller, then put it in my pocket.
"Thanks." I said, holding out a hand to help Eragon stand. He accepted it and I helped him up.
"You really take fights seriously." Eragon said, I laughed.
"You have never seen the worst of it. Everyone here does. You should try capture the flag, one of my favourite training games. Very intense." I said, Eragon put his sword back in its place and strapped it around his waist.
"I should try it some time." Eragon said. I smiled.
"I'm sure Chiron would re-consider. Maybe you could spar with me more often." I said, Eragon chuckled.
"I should." He said, and we walked out of the infermary. I was in Annabeth's arms within that second, she was practically choaking me. She released me and smiled.
"Your alive!" She gasped, I raised an eyebrow.
"Why woulden't I be?" I said, she blushed.
"I'm sorry I had my sword on you. With Galbatorix trying to capture me, I coulden't take any chances." Eragon said, I looked at Annabeth, who's eyes we're locked on Eragon.
"Y-yes.. Uhm.. It's okay. Im Annabeth." She said, shaking Eragon's hand.
"So, demigod's huh? I've never heard of them." Eragon said, I looked at Eragon, wide-eyed.
How is it you know about demigods, but Eragon doesent? I asked Saphira.
I've been around for over a thousand years. Except I was in an egg. Waiting to hatch. She responded.
"Well, the gods, like, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Athena, Hermes.. Etc.. Most of the gods we're allowed to go down to earth and fall in love with mortals. Then they had kids. We're half-bloods, demigods if you prefer. I'm the son of Poseidon, Annabeth is the daughter of Athena. Everyone here is a demigod. This is where we train to fight, and use our powers." I said, Eragon looked at Annabeth.
"Woah." He said, I snorted.
"Yeah, woah."
"So.. Poseidon?" Eragon asked, I grinned.
"God of the seas." I said, Eragon's eyes widened.
"So you can control water? That's your power?" Eragon asked, I nodded.
"Saphira tells me that your her dragon rider. And you have powers too." I said, Eragon shrugged.
"Yes. Watch." He said, taking out his sword and I looked at it.
"Brisingr!" He said, I had no idea what that meant, but instantly, the fire erupted into flames. Then, he muttered something I barely even heard, and the sword wasn't on fire anymore.
"That's my sword's name." Eragon said, I swallowed.
"Brisingr?" I asked, I hoped I said it right. Eragon nodded.
"I can't say the name or else it will burst into flame. But that's not all I can do. When I say something in the ancient language, and really concentrate, the gedwey ignasia on my palm," Eragon showed me the mark on his palm, I gasped.
"Will glow. That's how the magic comes. Along with Saphira of course." Eragon looked at Saphira, so did I. She blinked.
We are the last of the riders. Next to Galbatorix. But Galbatorix is evil, he wants Eragon to die. That's why he keeps trying to capture Eragon. Saphira said, I looked back at Eragon.
"So your saying that you ride Saphira, and you have powers?" Annabeth asked, Eragon smiled.
"Yes. I also slayed a shade. They are nasty creatures. Now everyone calls me Shadeslayer. In my world." Eragon said. I looked at Annabeth, she was blushing.
"So what's with this Galbatorix guy?" Annabeth asked, Eragon looked at Saphira.
Tell him. Saphira said. At first I thought she was talking to me, but it turns out she was speaking to Eragon. Great, now I can hear her more in my head..
"When Saphira's egg showed up in the Spine, wich was located in my home town, things started to happen to me. When Saphira hatched out of the egg, she started growing and getting bigger. One day Saphira just picks me up and starts freaking out. Then I wen't back to my farm and found out that my uncle was dead, his name was Garrow. My legs we're injured and I was nursed back to health thanks to the town's healer. But then Brom, my father, whom I diddn't know he was at the time, helped me in my plot to kill the Ra'zac, they murdered my uncle. In wich, we arrived at the Varden instead. For a long time, I was entrusted to the Varden and we have been thought many hardships and battles." Eragon said.
"So how did you end up here?" I asked.
"Intruders attacked us at the gates of the Varden. I had to keep the gates closed, and when I used a spell, then the ground shook. Me and Saphira fell through and thats when I woke up in that cabin." Eragon pointed to the infermary.
"We don't know how we got here, and we don't know how to get back. But all I know is that if I don't, the Varden will be in trouble without me there." Eragon frowned.
"Wich means we need to help the boy figure out to get back to his world." Chiron said.
"How?" Eragon asked. But before anyone could anwser, I heard a roar from the skies and I knew it wasn't Saphira. I looked up, another dragon was approaching, with a rider on it's back. Eragon took out his sword and I took Riptide out of my pocket, enlarging it.
"Who is that?" Annabeth yelled through the flapping and the wind that began to blow.
"Galbatorix. And he's brought his men." Eragon said, angrily. Something bad was going to happen, then I heard Chiron's voice boom from around the camp.
"TAKE COVER!" He bellowed, and Eragon and I looked down at ourselves. We had no armour..
