Chapter 9: Hera's Gift
Oasis' POV
The day after demigod basketball was one of the worst days ever! Not only was it awkward but it was scary.
I woke up in my own bunk. Percy was iris-messaging a large one-eyed boy. I recognized him as Tyson, my half-brother.
I jumped out of bed and stepped next to Percy so that Tyson could see me. Ever since I saw all of Percy's adventures in a gift I was most excited to speak to Tyson.
Tyson's eye got really big when he saw me. "Your pretty like Annabeth."
I laughed. "My name's Oasis Soror Jackson. I'm your little sister."
He got really happy. "YAY! Now I have brother Percy and sister Oasis."
Percy cut in, "Tyson, when you get a chance you need to come meet our sister, she's pretty great."
"I will go to Camp when Daddy says I can go promise." Tyson answered.
We said goodbye to Tyson. We changed into regular Camp clothes and went outside. I understood how Camp activities worked. I visited Soror and tried my luck at sword fighting, I was pretty good. Then I tried the very dangerous rock wall. It was a rush!
We meet up with our big group of friends by Thalia's pine tree. The dragon was cute, we threw apples for him every now and then.
With the eleven of us in a big circle, it was peaceful. It was picture perfect.
Then all hell broke loose!
A simmer of light appeared. I recognized her as Hera queen of the gods, goddess of marriage.
"Hello Guardians! Hello Oasis, I am here to give you the best gift, my gift!"
Everyone gave Oh No faces.
"As the goddess of marriage, i will gift you with a fiance, a suitable suitor for you. I present my champion, Jason Grace, betrothed to Oasis Soror Jackson from this day forth."
Everyone was shocked. Nico looked angry, so did Piper. Jason and I just stared at Hera trying to make sense of her words.
Suddenly a beautiful white gold ring appeared on my ring finger. Jason looked down, I could tell he had received a magical engagement ring too.
"Good bye my new power couple!" She said disappearing.
What had just happened? I mean I liked Jason, he was a lot like Percy but he was not me type. Plus he was taken!
I tried to pull the ring from my finger, but I guess it was magically placed so as much as I tried I could not pull it off.
I stood up to relieve some tension in the room. "I have no intention of marrying Jason, Piper" I know I was talking to Piper but I looked into Nico's eyes when I said it.
"Oasis, your great, but I love Piper." Jason replied.
"I understand, I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize your relationship." I said.
"Hera will not receive her gift being given such a bad review." Annabeth said. " The wise thing to do is to let this pass, give Hera a chance to give you another gift, a better one in her opinion. If you reject she might take it out on us when we really need help."
We all agreed to go with Annabeth's idea. I looked at Nico then on the ring on my finger. Then I guess ours will be a forbidden love. I thought.
Question to answer in the comments:
Who would you want Hera to make your fiance? Can be fictional, a real crush, or a celebrity!
