Repeating History
They were all sitting around a circular table made almost entirely of gold. The room was brightly lit thanks to the torches placed along the white colored walls, and, as usual, almost everyone was fighting.
"This could not have happened! I could understand once, but twice is just unexplainable! You're lucky I even agreed to help Percy just then! Even if he did save Olympus!" Zeus yelled as a loud clap of thunder erupted above them.
"He had to have had help. There is no way that Kronos could have just returned without any help. Besides, something is wrong, I can feel it."
"I agree with Anthea," Poseidon said, sitting down, "we have to tell Chiron at the camp, if we don't, who knows what could happen."
"I already have sent him an Iris message and he is telling everyone at camp half blood what is happening." Artemis spoke up, trying to look at Poseidon from over Ares' shoulder. The only bad thing about taking the form of a twelve year old girl, you could hardly see anything when an important meeting came up. Usually, she would be with her hunters, but it was no ordinary meeting, talking about the Evil lord titan himself somehow returning to life again.
"Shouldn't we be warning Percy and Annabeth, he will come after them after all?" Hermes said. Being Luke's dad, Poseidon could tell that he was badly worried for Percy and Annabeth.
Ares groaned. He had never liked Percy, not even from when he first met him. "Come on! It will be good for the kid! Keep him on his toes! Besides, knowing his past I'm sure he would have found himself in some trouble already whether it's in our world or the mortal one. Poseidon, he really should learn to be-"
"Ares!" Anthea yelled, "Now is not the time for this! What we should be doing now is talking strategy for how we are going to defeat Kronos! Knowing him, I'm sure he will have found a body to poses by now if we're-"
Zeus stood up, interrupting Anthea, "The only way he would have found a body to possess by now is if we had Percy's luck!"
"And unfortunately enough for all of us, we do have my luck because not only has he found a body to possess, he is being helped by another women who I'm pretty sure is also being possessed. They both are unbelievably fast and strong with skin as hard as a rock!" Percy had just walked right into the argument along with four other people, a girl with reddish brown hair, a boy with light blonde hair, and two boys with black hair, but one had glasses.
"Percy, son what are you doing here?" Poseidon asked, "How do you know Kronos has returned, and- and where is Annabeth- who are these people?" He asked, gesturing to Peter, Edmund, Lucy, and Harry, who all looked extremely confused, like they had just stepped into yet another parallel universe, which, they had.
"I needed to tell you- all of you, that Annabeth has been kidnapped along with their sister, Susan. I know he has returned because both of the people that he was possessing threw Annabeth and I out of a plane which had ever so conveniently, had been shot while in the air by a mysterious lightning bolt that appeared out of the clear blue sky in the middle of the day!" Percy yelled. All eyes turned to Zeus, the god of the sky, therefore, the master lightning bolt.
"Well… I'm sorry ok! You know the story I don't feel like going over it again." He said.
"They could have been killed!" Artemis yelled at him, "Don't you understand what could have-"
"Stop the both of you!" Apollo said, raising his hand "he said Annabeth was missing, along with their sister. So you other people must have some crazy magical connection to some other psycho gods or something? Who are you parents?"
"Apollo I-"
"Litter Sister, shhhhh! Hush! Be quiet!" Artemis sighed, trying to ignore Apollo.
"Well, I'm a daughter of Eve, if that's what you mean…" Lucy whispered, still trying to take in the fact that the gods were around forty to sixty feet tall and wearing Greek battle armor. Apollo gave her a puzzled look as she tried to continue, "Well, in Narnia… we would have to tell everyone that we were a daughter of Eve or a son of Adam- well, looking back on it I probably shouldn't have told Mr. Tumnis that I was a daughter of Eve, then the White Witch wouldn't have tried to kill us, or at least not right away and-"
Peter's eyes grew wide. "That's who it was! The other girl that was helping him, that- that-"
"Spirit."
"Yea that spirit. The White Witch is who is helping him. It all makes sense! Percy and Annabeth defeat this spirit, he comes back to life with someone's help, and then he kidnaps Annabeth. The White Witch finds some way to come back from Narnia, I mean she almost tricked Caspian into doing it for her. Teams up with Kronos and then takes Susan, all in the same night! That's the only explanation."
"Yea," Edmund said laughing, "Unless there is yet another person in Narnia who wants us dead, there seems to be one every time we come back, even if 100 years have passed."
"Wait… what?" Percy asked, "100 years? Are you all immortal or something?"
"Oh! No of course not! It's just one second in the mortal world is around 20 years in Narnia."
"What are you all talking about?" Aphrodite asked, putting her mirror down beside her throne, "And how did you mortals get in here? Clearly you are not demigods or gods/goddesses, I mean, you defiantly don't look the part."
Peter didn't know if that was a compliment or not, but he continued anyway. "We are kings of Narnia, and Lucy is one of the Queens, Susan is the other one, but she's been kidnapped, so that's why we need to find her again."
"Wait, your brothers and sisters but your kings and queens of this Narnia place?" Ares asked, trying hard not to burst out laughing.
Edmund's eyes widened, the last thing he wanted to do was embarrass himself in front of twelve immortal gods and goddesses that he had only just met. "No! No it's not like that! It's long and complicated, we're brothers and sisters yes, but, no it's not what you think."
All of the Gods and Goddesses accepted that, and then they turned to Harry. "Um… well, I'm not a demigod, whatever that is, or a god. I'm just Harry Potter." He paused, expecting to get some reaction, he was too used to someone gasping or choking on their drink when anyone said his name to get no reaction what so ever. "You know, The Boy Who Lived… The Chosen One…."
Percy looked up, "Wais a sec, I thought I was the chosen one."
"No the prophecy clearly said it was me, well, me or Neville, and so did just about everybody else in the world."
"No, they didn't. I've heard a lot of prophecies from the Oracle to know that it would be Luke, along with my help, who would defeat Kronos."
"Wait, defeat who? Who are you talking about? And I thought Luke was the one who betrayed you?" Harry asked.
"Well yes he did, but that's not the point! But, wait a sec, who are you talking about?"
"Vlodemort of course! The man who tried to kill me so many times I've lost count. He's why my friends didn't want to come along and help us rescue your girlfriend, he's put them in too much danger with-"
"Girlfriend? Annabeth's not my girlfriend! She's just my just really good friend, who happens to be a girl." Percy said. He was starting to feel uncomfortable. He could hear Zeus and Ares laughing quietly about this in the background. He heard Artemis groan, Apollo was giving him two thumbs up. But he could still feel Aphrodite's eyes on him, he sighed. "Ok well, um… she's…"
"Oh please Percy," Aphrodite said, "I saw your little party at camp after you defeated Kronose, and it defiantly didn't look like you and Annabeth were just friends."
"Oh. Well… I guess, she's kinda… my… um g- are you all really going to make me say this out loud?"
Poseidon cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, but Percy was still giving Harry an annoyed glare for bringing up the girlfriend topic. After Aphrodite told him she was going to make his love life hard, the last thing he needed on his mind was more girl issues. "Percy, seeing as you have accepted this quest, you will need to confront the oracle immediately."
"Yes father, I will."
"And, seeing as its still light outside," Apollo said, getting up, "I can give you a ride."
"Don't let anybody else drive," Poseidon cautioned, "We don't want to torch another nation."
"That was Thalia not Percy or me. But don't worry, we'll be careful." Apollo groaned, and then he assured Harry, Peter, Edmund, Lucy, and Percy out the door and into a flying bus.
