Phoebe POV:
"…Hebe." A woman wearing a simple Greek tunic walked into the cave. She said, "I will make it so that your child has a definite age and ages." "We shall come again when the child is born to remove its immortality." Said Hecate as she ushered Hebe out of the cave.
Some months later:
Hecate and Hebe walked into the cave and saw Phoebe cradling a baby boy wrapped up to the chin in a silver blanket. Phoebe looked up and saw the two. "Come in. Come in." They came in. "What's his name?" Asked Hebe. "I thinking something a mortal would be named, like Peter." Answered Phoebe.
Ethan POV:
I came back to Earth and saw Annabeth shaking me. "Um, you okay?" She asked me. "Yeah." I said. "All right, come on the game's about to start." Chiron, in centaur form, trotted onto a table and he hammered his hoof on the marble. "Heroes!" he announced. "You know the rules. The creek is the boundary line. The entire forest is fair game. All magic items are allowed. The banner must be prominently displayed, and have no more than two guards. Prisoners may be disarmed, but, this time, may be bound or gagged. No killing or maiming is allowed. I will serve as referee and battlefield medic. Arm yourselves! "He spread his hands, and the tables were suddenly covered with equipment: helmets, bronze swords, spears, oxhide shields coated in metal.
After I grabbed a helmet with a blue plume and a shield about the size of my chest we ran to our starting point at the far right of the creek. I looked at the list one last time. "Wait a minute, this list is a cabin short." Annabeth answered without looking up, "That's because the Hypnos cabin just sleeps through these kinds of things. The only reason the Aphrodite cabin does capture the flag is because they think it makes them look good, when in reality they can't lift a sword."
Then I heard a conch horn in the distance. We ran for several minutes stopping occasionally to make sure no enemies were near when my already least favorite camper, Blake, ran into us.
It took me two seconds to get my hammer ready, but by then we had already lost. An Ares camper simply banged the butt of his sword on the top of Kathryn's head and she dropped onto the ground mumbling some ancient Greek. Another punched Peter in the chest and he fell to the ground gasping for air. The Ares camper kicked him in the jaw while he was on the ground and Peter's head dropped back with blood trickling out of his mouth. Percy and Annabeth took on a camper who didn't seem aggressive, or awake enough to be an Ares camper, but then again, looks can be deceiving.
Then something went terribly wrong. While Percy and Annabeth were fighting the other kid the Ares campers started to sneak up on them. I tried to run forward or at least yell to warn them, but I found that my legs were frozen solid up to my knee and that my voice was on mute. I then saw an Ares camper slice at Annabeth's leg and I heard her scream then fall unconscious. I noticed that the camper who had sliced at Annabeth had a sword that was wooden and had a weird milky white pearl on the end. Percy quickly turned and charged the guy with the weird sword. The camper that had previously been clumsily fighting Percy touched the back of Percy's head and he dropped to the ground, apparently asleep.
All the warriors turned to me, but Blake said, "Back off and get the flag, this one's mine." The others ran off and I realized that my feet were no longer frozen, but covered in a tarry substance. I saw that there was a full moon and just being in it's presence started to heal Peter as a glowing transparent image of the moon hovered above his head. Blake didn't seem to notice. I lifted my foot and there was a sound like a very large band-aid being pulled off skin.
Blake charged me and I swung my hammer. Our weapons collided and his sword became deformed easily, while my hammer didn't get a dent. He dropped his sword and drew a throwing knife and said, "You made me look bad in front of some children of Aphrodite and now you are so going to pay."
He threw the knife and I knew I would not be able to block it. Suddenly the moonlight bent into a silver shield that was hovering in midair. Blocked the knife then vanished as quickly as it had come. "H-how did you...what hap...?" Blake was cut off because just then Kathryn, who had been sneaky up behind him, wrapped an arm around his neck and with the other hand forced Blake to drink a milky white potion, which caused him to fall into a deep, sleep immediately.
Kathryn dropped him on the ground then spat on him. "Where did you get that?" I tried to ask her, but my voice was still on mute. "Sorry, what was that?" She asked then said,"Ooohhh." She muttered something I couldn't decipher. " Where did you get that?" I repeated this time with sound. She held up the empty vile. "Oh I just used a little Lethe water from the Hypnos cabin, mixed it with some other stuff, and it made the perfect sedative. He'll have a minor case of amnesia when he wakes up, but it'll wear off a few minutes later.
Well, this chapter was kinda pointless but I wanted to make it anyway. Like I said before, I will stop updating this fanfic on January 10, 2011 unless I get five-four now- reviews from different people. I like this fanfic, but I need some motivation.
