I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPR FOR MARIE
Leo POV
As soon as the campfire ended, I bolted. I realized that I had left the weapon out in the open. Anyone of my siblings could have picked it up. I raced back down the hill to the Forges where I left it. There was something different about it now. It glowed blue and radiated pure power. I picked it up and felt immense pain surge through my body. "Aaah!" I dropped it and looked at my hand. There was no mark, no indication that I had even touched it. Then, it began to vibrate. It shook violently on the ground and began to hum. "Oh shit ticket I broke it!" I said. Then, the impossible happened. The weapon levitated on its own and glowed a startling blue green. A blinding light flashed and caused me to fall over and get something that scared the living crap out of me: a vision.
I saw a girl with the spear in her hand. I couldn't make out her face, only her hair. She was standing in the water as wind swirled around her. The I realized, she was causing this storm. The beach began to crack open and a darkness spread from it. The girl raised the spear and everything exploded in a white light. I sat up. "Δίνη." I said softly. That word appeared on the handle of the spear.
It glowed even brighter now. It began to move up the hill towards the cabins. I followed it up the hill. It stopped in front of the Poseidon Cabin. Glowing more brightly. "Of course. Insanely powerful weapon that belongs to an insanely powerful girl." Díni dimmed it's glow and planted itself in the ground outside the door. I yawned loudly and decided to turn in for the night. I slept that night, and dreamt that I was on Olympus. All the gods were assembled in their thrones. My dad, Hephaestus, was sitting in a recliner made of gears and stuff. Then, a young goddess approached them. She wore a white chiton and had her blonde hair pulled back in an intricate bun. Her face was extremely youthful. She looked maybe 18.
"Hebe," Zeus said. "It's about time, daughter." Hebe hurried up. "My apologies, father, mother." Hera (the bitch herself) nodded at her. Hebe carried a tray full of goblets and one big-ass goblet of of nectar. She handed each of them a goblet and poured some nectar in it. The gods drank and laughed. "Haha! Remember that time when Hebe tripped and her boobs popped out?" Aphrodite shouted. They all laughed and pointed at Hebe. she laughed, but it was a painful laugh. One that was only used to hide embarrassment.
"As I recall, my treacherous wife," Hephaestus said."it was you who caused her to fall."
Aphrodite put her hands and smiled drunkenly. "Guilty!" she said and everyone laughed. Then Dionysus, pointed from Hera to hephaestus, and was smiling excitedly.
"R-remember when Hera literally yeeted Hephaestus off of Mount Olympus?" they all laughed. "Like she deadass looked at him and said 'this bitch ugly YEET!'" he slapped the arm of his chair and threw his head back with laughter.
"Shut the fuck up, Dionysus, you weren't even there." Hermes said with a smile.
"I know, but Apollo told me right after I became a god." he and Apollo high fived. Apparently the two would go off and watch plays together while drinking wine.
"Oh Oh!" Athena said waving her hand around like Hermione Granger. "Remember when Poseidon lost that contest to me thousands of years ago, so now I'm the patron of Athens?"
"Oh my fucking gods, Athena would you just shut the fuck up about that? Like it happened two thousand years ago!"
"You're still salty about it too."
"What, is Hebe teaching you 21st century terms now? I'm the god of the mother fucking ocean, of course I'm salty."
Both of them stood up from their thrones with their weapons out.
"Ares…" Hera said looking at the god of war, who had flames dancing angrily behind his eyes. "Sorry, mom." he snapped his fingers and Athena and Poseidon realized what had happened.
"You insufferable excuse for a nephew," Poseidon said. "I thought we had agreed that after you helped Luke Castellan steal Zeus' master bolt, that you wouldn't try to start a war between the gods."
Ares stood. "And I also thought that you, corpse breath, and my father would not have children anymore. Yet out of the blue, we get that upstart Jackson and his cyclops brother, and now some green-haired chick from atlantic city." he spat.
Poseidon moved closer to Ares. "you watch your mouth. My sons saved the world twice, and, my daughter has more power than you could ever imagine. An earthshaker, stormaker. Anyone would be a fool to challenge her."
I could only assume that Poseidon meant Marie. She is going to be one strong-ass demigod when she's finished training.
"Am I to assume," zeus said with a scowl on his face. "That you had not one, not two, but three halfblood children while the oath was in effect?"
Poseidon smiled smugly. "Fuck yeah, I did."
I woke from my dream. The entire cabin nine was huddled around me. "Leo, are you okay?" Nyssa asked.
I shook off what had happened last night. "Yeah. of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?"
They all looked at each other with worried looks. "Well," Jake Mason, the former head counselor stepped up to the front of the crowd. "You kept yelling in your sleep. 'Díni' you kept saying. Or 'it's her! She's too powerful!' I was genuinely scared for you, man." my dreams came flooding back to me. "Oh." I said quietly. I got up, dressed, and led my cabin down for breakfast. The rest of the camp was already there. I spotted Marie, Holding Díni in her hands, admiring it. I didn't know whether or not to be terrified for her. We all sat down to eat, when Rachel Elizabeth Dare froze up, collapsed, and began emitting green smoke from her mouth. Two boys from the hermes cabin picked her up and set her on a three legged stool. Everyone was nervous. Her mouth opened, and what came out of it was a horrible raspy voice.
"The seven and the storm maker shall
Travel again, to the land of roots,
Where all began.
And face the Pit, and the god who has turned
Retrieve the cup, and see it is burned,
The ocean shall burn with a fierce fire,
And two foes shall give in to desire."
Rachel came out of her trance. "Woah." she said. Octavian put his hand on her arm.
"Rach," he said softly. "Are you okay?"
She nodded. "What just happened?"
Chiron stood up. "My dear, you have just delivered the next Great Prophecy. When will it begin?"
Rachel looked at Marie with a grim expression. "It has begun." there was a collective gasp around the pavillion. Marie put her weapon down and hid her face, unsure of what to think. Few things were certain. One, Obviously, me and the others could never catch a break. Two, I had just created a possibly apocalyptic weapon. And three, Marie was the Storm maker.
