You know, I really haven't spent this much time on any story in my life. I've updated almost everyday since I published the first chapter, and twice on some days. Either you guys give me such great reviews so that I have to update so often, or I have no life and spend all day cooped up in my room. I think both. I also think my mom worries about me because I spend so much time in my room. The truth? I, really, just am not very social. My main group of friends consists of 4 people, not including me. And really, sometimes I'll just stay inside for a while to avoid them, Yeah, I'm just that much anti-social. Well, enough of my rambling. Response to reviews: owlcat92- Cora is Norse, but she's been to all the camps and been blessed by so many different types of gods that it just doesn't matter what race she is now, she's just a demigod. Actually, she's even been an Egyptian magician once... followed a couple paths of the gods, but we'll get to that later... Also, if you guys are great, fantastic reviewers, I might start a fiction on Cora's past in first person, starting from child abuse to the Forgotten War to all the places she's been to and such. I warn, it would really long. Oh, and I might right one on a monster's point of view on stuff. HOLY- longest. author's note. EVER! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME TO SHUT UP? Meh... read on!
Disclaimer: really? After your long rambling, you still want me to do this?
Nanu Kitty: yes, now hurry up!
Disclaimer: meh. Fine. I don't own PJO... *sob* T.T
Chapter 10
With that, Captain Sunshine explained everything to Falcon, and he relayed the message to the camp. After that, a ton of campers came to ask/bribe Fox and Owl to let them come on the quest. They politely told them that they would think about it. Owl was searching for someone who was like her past self, shy and unwilling. But finding those people was harder than you'd think. Mostly because they really don't want to be seen or chosen, so they avoid you. So naturally, Owl came up with the solution. She enchanted a jacket with a temporary invisible spell that lasted two hours, then went out with it on and looked for an unfamiliar face in the shadows. Finally, she found who she was looking for. A boy around fifteen was sitting on a bench, reading a book. He had floppy black hair and sea green eyes. Most likely a son of the sea god, Ægir. Owl took a seat next him and looked at the book. "Whatcha reading?" she asked, nearly scaring the boy to death. He looked around wildly, trying to figure out who had spoken. "W-who's there?" he asked. "Oh! Right sorry, forgot to take my jacket off." Owl pulled the leather jacket off and reappeared. "Hi! I'm Owl. Who are you?" she smiled sticking out her hand. "Um… Trout." he muttered, shaking her hand awkwardly. "So… you wanna come on a quest?" she asked. "Uh, no. I have, um, training. I'm not very g-good yet, so I have lots and lots of training to do..." Trout stuttered. She could tell he was lying. "You'll get plenty of training done on the quest." she stated. "I really don't like traveling…" "Trout, don't be a coward." Owl hated using peer pressure, but she had a feeling that he was the one. "Come on the quest, it'll be good for you. I promise." she touched his arm to make sure that he knew that she was telling the truth. "Fine. I'll come." he mumbled, but still looked doubtful. "Brilliant! Get packing, because we're leaving tomorrow morning." Owl grinned and ran to tell Fox the news, but first, she found a stormy grey pegasus attacking a unicorn- HER unicorn- Audrey. "You traitor! Betrayal! You shall pay!" he was yelling at her and kicking. She tried to fend him off with her horn, but he would just avoid it. "Oi! Lay off!" Owl shouted, running to Audrey's side. His head snapped to her. "You! You lead this betrayal! You shall pay also!" he swooped towards her, but she pulled on her invisi-jacket and darted out of the way. Suddenly, she had and idea. Owl took off the jacket and concentrated on her favorite riding pegasus from somewhere else, a raven-black Night Pegasus (A/N you recognize this, owlcat92?). Once the change was complete, she took to the air. The Night Pegasus was the fastest pegasus out of them all. She zoomed through the air and brought down her weight on the stormy pegasus, pinning him down. "What's your name, pegasus?" Owl hissed in his ear, shooting Audrey a look that clearly said, "Run!". "Stormaggadon." (A/N yes, I just did that, those who saw Dr. Who season 6 last episode) he whinnied back. "Well, Storm, there is a difference between betrayal and choosing the right side." she poked a part in his neck with a hoof, and all the muscles in his body shrunk. Owl changed back to human and slumped to the ground, feeling exhausted. She lifted his head to hers and looked into his eyes. There, she saw the Wolf himself. Fenrir was curling his lip in laughter and starring mockingly back the girl. She clenched her teeth and put a hand on Storm's head. She hear him. "Please, take it away. The voices… they're driving me mad. Please!" Owl looked at him. He looked at her. "I can banish Fenrir from your head, but you have to help. I can't do it without you." she leaned over and whispered what he had to do. Storm nodded mentally. She put her hand back on his head, and concentrated. 'Way too much concentrating today...' she thought to herself. "Fenrir, I, Cora Miryks, the last of the daughters of Hel, the survivor of the Great Forgotten War, the rememberer, order you to leave this body and never return. This pegasus is not worthy to suffer for you, and you know. Begone!" Owl looked for the real Stormaggadon in his head. "Your turn. Remember all that matters to you and why you're mad at Fenrir." she ordered. He nodded and squeezed his eyes shut in concentration. Owl watched his eyes. Slowly, Fenrir's cruel laugh turned into a snarl, then he started howling, and then faded from his eyes. Storm gasped and stood up. "Thank you! You saved my life!" "Any time. I know what it feels like to be possessed by an evil wolf." Owl grinned. Audrey cantered over nervously. "I must apologize, miss. The evil Wolf had taken over my mind." he said, lowering his head. "You are forgiven." Audrey said. Fox ran around the corner. "Owl! I heard the noise and-" he saw the unicorn and pegasus. "Ok, I have a feeling that it's a long story." "Yeah. But to shorten it: Audrey is my friend. Stormaggadon here was possessed by Fenrir, so he was attacking Audrey. I paralyzed him and banished Fenrir, and now Storm was just apologizing to Audrey." Owl summed up. "Alright then," Fox muttered. "So, did you find someone for the quest?" he asked, changing the subject. "Actually, yeah. Trout, son of Ægir, god of the sea. Great kid, just shy." she explained. "Finally! Another boy!" he praised. "Oi, is there anything wrong with girls?" Owl asked good-naturedly. "Well, no, but sometimes it's easier to be around your own gender." Fox his weight. She rolled her eyes at him and lead the two horses to the stables. "Say," Owl asked as they got there. "I've never seen your fillies yet, Audrey. Mind if I take a peek?" Audrey nodded and led her outside to the field. Two young unicorns were practicing magic with their horns, casting out little orbs of light before they fizzled out. "That one on the right is Marie," Audrey gestured with her horn to a cream colored one like her mother. "And the one on the left is Tulip." she pointed to a white one with cream and brown splots. "They're beautiful." Owl complimented. "Thanks. Why don't we go over and say hello?" Audrey suggested. Owl agreed and they headed down. "Marie! Tulip! Come and meet my friend!" she called to them. They looked up and came galloping over. "Wow, a demigod! You guys are kinda odd lookin'." Marie said, looking Owl over. "Marie, don't be rude." Audrey scolded. "It's fine. We must look really odd to others, seeming as we walk on two legs and no fur but on the tops of our head. We really must be a sight!" Owl laughed.
