Demigod of the Unknown

*Chapter Nine*

I Save a Cyclops

I scanvenge threw the ship. Sam was gone and I knew it. Only if I could save her when I went to get the Keys. Isn't that what they do? Well, I'm operating alone until, maybe, I get a friend on this ship, but everyone on here is an enemy. Monsters fill the halls. The Minatuar lead a group of Talons throw Compartment A, as Medusa gathered Katrinas. It was all confusing to dodge.

I guess I'll never find a companion until I met Harrel. He's a cyclops of Poseiodn's army until he was captured. I'll get to were I met him and how it happened.

I was ram sacking a suiipply closet until I heard muffling screams. I look to find the source, until a huge body rammed me. I fall be, trying to catch my breath. Another scream. A Elite squad of Katrinas rush to the sound.

"Cyclops, do you want another round of theropy?" asked the head Katrina, the one I, Sam, and Jake faced at the convience store. It brigs back painfull memories. The day this stupid quest started...

I sat in my cabin. So, me Jake and some Sam girl's going on a quest for some kind of keys? That is so...wierd. Not like I'm not, but you know. somplace were none have hardly seen? It still confuses me. Jake walks in with a brown headed, green eyed girl. "Who's she?" I ask.

"Sam. Our quest partner" said Jake.

"M'kay. So, what we gonna do after this quest?" I ask.

"Find out who you're dad is" said Sam.

"He came to me in a dream" I reply.

"Really? What's his name?" asked Sam.

"Father is all I know" I say nodding wierdly.

"Can we just go?" asked Jake.

"But were to?" I ask.

"Mount Olympus. That's were Chiron told us to go. He said he heard of a brewing war? He wants us to go investigate" said Sam.

"Mount Olympus? We're is that?" I ask.

"600th floor, Empire State Building" said Jake.

"Impossible" I say.


I was wrong. We walked into the State Building and talked to the man reading a magazine at the front desk. Jake propped his arm on the desk. "May we get the key to the 600th floor?" asked Jake.

"Impossible" said the man.

"Told ya!" I say.

"Demigods" said Jake. He hands Jake a key. We enter the elavator and put the key in a slot. We shot up and soon we were in a pearl white room. A thrity foot gold door stoof in the distance. Sam leads us to it. When it opens, we see twelve throne shaped like a U as the cabins at Camp Half-Blood.

"Who dare introudes the Royal Throne Room!" boomed a twenty foot tall man, with a white beard and hair. He wore a tuba and a huge lightingbolt rested in his hands.

"Lord Zeus, we are wondering about the war brewing between the gods" said Jake.

"There is no war" said Zeus.

Three half-bloods, one of fire, one of the sea
must go where none have hardly seen,
To the Underworld you must go,
and try to stop the final blow.
Make sure to find the Key of Death,
or you will fail, and not achieve success.

"Know anything about that?" Sam asked Zeus.

"Um...I-I do not recall" said Zeus, sweating a bit.

"Yes you do. Please tell me. Who's symbol is a shadow with eyes?" I ask, stepping forward. Poseidon and Athena's eyes nearly pop out of thier heads, but no one seems to notice what it means.

"No ones" said Zeus. Poseiodn and Athena sigh and slant in thier thrones. I wonder why they get scared when they mention my father? It's confusing and this is the only reason I'm on my quest. I want to know those secrets.

"Explain the prophecy if there is no war? Eplain the final blow? Do you know anything about the final blow? Zeus, we need to know!" I say.

"I will tell you. The Keys of Death have been stolen, and with it, the thief can raise the dead, and kill anyone he wishes. We needed someone to retrieve it before...it's to late. Are you the chosen three?" asked Zeus

"Yes sir" I say.

"Very well. Go find the thief and return the keys before the summer solcates" said Zeus.

"THAT'S ONLY TWO WEEKS?" roared Jake.

"Fine, June Twentith" said Zeus.

"B-" started Jkae.

"June Ninteenth" said Zeus, lifting his bolt. Jake shuts up.

"We'll get going" I say, dragging us off Olympus.

"HURRY!" roared Zeus, blasted a bolt right behind us. We fly into the air and land in the elevator. We go down and return the key. The streets look even more torn down than usual. The sky is dark with thunder clouds. A bolt nearly hits us and we get thrown into a convience store through a window.

"Why are yound children like you up so late?" asked the aging cashier.

"We, um got lost" said Jake.

"Well, you cans spend the night if you'd like that" she said.

"THANK YOU!" we roar, plobbing on the ground. All night we heard moaning. What is that old lady doing? We heard a cry and we jumped up. I feel for my knife but the now demon-lady walked in holding it.

"Need this? Mwhahahahah!" she laughed, lunging at us. Her fangs entered Jake and I jump on her. I stink my hand into her mouth, ripping out her fangs. In that procees, I got bit. She lets out a painfull screech and throws me off her. She approaches Sam and she stragitly side-steps, making the demon run into the wall. We let out a chuckle before jumping back on her. I rip out her snake hair, Jake constantly kicks her stomach, and Sam scratches at her face.

"AHHHHH!" let's out the demon before becoming gold dust, just like the Minataur the day I came to Camp Half-Blood. We take a shower in the trucker area were they'd stop and take showers. and head off agin, squeaky clean.

I shot an arrow into the demon lady. Soon, the whole flock is in fight. I barely free Harell from his arm bands and muffle before it got bad.
