Chapter 6
Percy's POV:
My emotions are: Happy, glad, sad, excited, nervous, annoyed, sympathy, and pretty much every feeling out there. I'm happy that I can see Annabeth and all my old friends, sad, nervous, and excited for leaving Camp Jupiter for the quest, annoyed, because… *cough, Octavian, cough*, and sympathy for Jason. I was getting ready for leaving for Camp Half Blood, and later sailing to Rome. I left my cabin and went out to find Leo. He was putting finishing touches on the ship, and it looked magnificent. A huge, shiny warship with a dragon head on the front, and a luxury cabin inside with a room for everyone. I gaped at the sight while Leo walked up to me.
"What do you think?" He said proudly.
"It's amazing! I can't wait. Ready to go?"
"Yup, we can have lunch at 11, then prepare for the journey for an hour before we set off."
"Ummm, Leo? It's 10:55." I reminded him.
"Holy Zeus! Let's go!" and we ran off to the dining hall.
The spirits were particularly busy, zipping around and feeding Romans and Greeks their comfort foods. Of course, most of the Greeks had stayed at camp, but a few came along. Clarisse was making friends with some of the Romans, no surprise there. Connor and Travis Stoll were seeing how many people's shoe laces they could tie together by crawling under the tables before they challenged the Romans to a battle, which resulted in many people falling on their faces. Octavian was no-where to be seen. Us seven sat on our own, thinking of what materials we would need.
"We will need medicine, nectar, bandages, ropes, weapons, spear parts and tools in case the ship malfunctions, and food and water." Annabeth calculated, and we decided who would bring what, and if anybody thought of anything we might need while getting the supplies, they could get it as well. At 11:45, Reyna called for attention.
"The seven half-bloods shall leave for the Greek camp soon, so help them prepare for 15 minutes before they head off. 15 minutes later, we were ready to go. As me, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Leo, and Annabeth climbed aboard, we all waved to the Romans as Leo made the ship rise, then fly in the direction of Camp Half blood.
We all sat on the deck, relaxing and telling stories about our quests. We all gasped and laughed and parts, acting like we knew each other for years. They found it amazing that I fell from a glacier, and they laughed when Frank turned into a pig for them. Around 3, we heard the sound of wings, and two loud voices yelling. We all prepared our weapons, and around the corner came two of my old friends.
"Why did we have to fly all the way over here? Why couldn't we just stay at Bargain Mart and sell whoopee pies and chocolate cake? The red velvet cupcakes were 25% off this week," Stheno whined. She was wearing a blue Bargain Mart apron, same as her sisters, but she was wearing a pink flowery dress underneath, when her sister was wearing a green one.
"Gaea promised us a reward, remember? We can always go back to Bargain Mart anyway, we know how to return from the dead," Euryale said.
"This is Stheno and Euryale, the gorgons. Stheno is the pink flowery dress one, and Euryale has the green dress." I informed my friends, before turning to the gorgons.
"How many times do I have to kill you before you stay in Tartarus?" I asked them, annoyed.
"Oh, you can't kill us, but we can kill you! That's the fun of it, although once we die, we will reappear at Bargain Mart so it would take a while to find you again," Stheno said happily, and Euryale gave her a glare that clearly said to keep her mouth shut.
"Nobody is getting killed except you two," Jason said, and suddenly my six buddies were beside me. The gorgons looked a little intimidated, but they exchanged a glance and charged.
Let me say that they were no match for us. With a few slashes, jabs, and getting stampeded by a rhino, they had been reduced to piles of dust, and we threw a handful off the ship every few minutes to stop them from re-forming for a while. Then we all stared at each other, and we knew how powerful we were combined. We all grinned at each other, and sat down, feeling like nothing could stop us.
What do you think? There will be more battles in the future, if you review… :) anyway PLEASE REVIEW, THANKS!
