Here's an actually summary of the story. When Percy's girlfriend Annabeth dies, he wishes he was never even a demigod. His wish ends up coming true, and he doesn't remember ever being a demigod. When a god leads him to camp halfblood he finds out he was once a demigod and he has to find the fates and convince them to make him a demigod, but the choice to become a demigod could kill someone he loves. Okay that's it. Now the real story.
Me and Nico had to run back to make it to sword fighting. We got there just in time.
"It's about time you two got here," Beckendorf said. "Percy we need to find you a sword." He looked around for a little bit, then said, "Here try this one," He said. I lifted up the sword and it felt a little heavy. Beckendorf noticed I was having trouble. "Okay then, something a little lighter maybe,"
He handed over a different sword, it was just a little smaller, but it felt perfect.
"It's great," I told him.
"Okay everyone for the next few minutes we are gonna pair up and practice, focus on your defense," Beckendorf instructed. "Percy, come over here." I walked over to him. "So, I'm just gonna show you some basic techniques." Beckendorf said. He showed me some basic defense moves, how to knock your opponents sword out of their hands.
It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but eventually I was able to actually beat someone. Sword fighting wasn't as hard as I imagined, and everyone once in a while I'd get really aggressive, and almost even beat Beckendorf.
"Wow Percy, you're great at this," Beckendorf said.
"Thanks," I said.
"Show off," Nico muttered.
"No I'm not!" I shouted.
"Dude, I'm joking, gods," Nico said and laughed. I really didn't want to leave sword fighting now, but Nico told me we'd be climbing the rock wall next . When we got there everyone was surprised to see Dionysus there.
"Great what's he doing here," Nico whispered to me.
"Today, I'm going to instructing you," Dionysus began, "We will be playing a new game today."
"What kind of game?" Travis asked.
"Well there will be a little more of a challenge, as you see there's a large pool of lava around the rock climbing wall,"
"There is no pool of lava around it," Nico pointed out. Dionysus snapped his fingers and a pool of lava appeared around it.
"Now what you have to do is get your entire team to the wall, over the wall, and back out of the other side of the pool."
"How do we do that?" I asked.
"You have to figure that out Perry," Dionysus said.
"It's Percy," I said.
"No, I specifically heard Chiron tell me your name was Perry," Dionysus said. "Now everyone get into teams of five," he announced.
I teamed up with, Nico, the Stoll brothers, and Jake Mason from the Hephaestus cabin.
"The first team to complete the task will win!" Dionysus announced.
"So, any idea how we can get across?" I asked.
"Hey, maybe we can use our winged shoes our dad gave us," Connor suggested.
"But that would only get two of us across," Nico said.
"We could just take the shoes off when we get to the rock wall, and give them to you," Connor said. I really didn't think it was a bad idea. Connor ran back to his cabin to get the shoes. He came back in about five minutes with no shoes. "Someone cut off the wings," Connor complained.
"Okay, then that idea is ruined," Nico said.
"I think I might have an I idea, but it's kind of bad," I announced.
"Tell us," Jake said.
"Well I was thinking that maybe we could try tying a rope to a tree and a sword and throwing the sword at the rock wall so it will stick in there and we can climb across the rope," I said.
"Well, that would only work if someone, put the sword in themselves," Nico said.
"Okay, so maybe we could tie the rope to the tree, and one of us could swing over there and stab the sword into it," I suggested.
"There's no guarantee that they would make," Travis said.
"I say we try it," Jake said.
"Okay then who is going to do it?" I asked.
"I think you should do it, Percy it was your idea," Nico said. The others nodded in agreement.
"But, I couldn't do it," I said.
"Just try Percy, the worst thing that could happen is you fall in the lava and die a terrible death," Nico said.
"And that's suppose to make me want to do that?" I asked.
"Well, we aren't giving you a choice," He said. We got a really long rope and tied to the closest tree. I grab onto the rope and climb up in the tree, and stood on a ledge ready to jump. I was very nervous.
"You can do it Percy," Jake said. I took a deep breath and jumped forward holding on tight to the rope. I soared through the air, and somehow ended up reaching the wall I grabbed on and stabbed the sword into it as hard as I could. It went in just deep enough for the others to get across. First Jake came across with no problem. Nico slipped off, but Connor jumped out and caught him almost causing the rope to drop. Travis got over without a problem.
We climbed up to the top, and the other four climbed over. I was the last one to go over though. When I reached my leg over, I slipped. I was barely able to catch myself, but I wasn't able to hold on long I started falling down into the lava. I waited to burn to death.I was still living. I waited for pain to come, but nothing more that some sore muscles from falling came. I suddenly realized I wasn't in lava I was on water. I swam out and I saw that everyone took the advantage of swimming around the rock wall. I got out thanking the gods I was okay. Yes I've got a little used to saying gods. Everyone started at me in amazement.
"Well I think we know what god brought you here," Nico said.
"Who?" I aksed
"Poseidon of course. God of the sea," Nico said
