-FF15
Annabeth's POV
New York was amazing. It was everything I hoped to be and more. It was amazing but I wasn't there for fun. I was on a mission.
I needed to get to find someone named Chiron. My mother told me to seek him out and he will give me safety from monsters and a place I can finally call home.
I thought my home was with...
I shook my head I had to get him out of my head. My mother told me he was not any good for me. I knew that in my heart I felt different.
I wanted to stay with him but I had to go. We couldn't go to Camp Jupiter together.
You see I'm a Greek. My mother is Athena, goddess of wisdom, craft, and strategy while Percy's father was Neptune, god of the sea, the Roman version. Honestly I felt that my mother held a grudge even against Percy's father for Athens.
I would never say that out loud my mother could probably hear me.
Honestly, I held a tiny grudge against her. I knew I couldn't stay mad at a goddess not to mention my mother.
I wanted to stay with Percy so badly. It tore my heart in half when I left him behind. We went our separate ways. I needed to find Chiron.
I wondered how I was going to find one person in the giant city of New York. I looked for hours. I mean I knew it was probably going to take days to even cover a part of the city.
Then my rescue came after I looked for a few hours. There up in the sky were what I thought were flying horses!
I turned out to be right. If my Greek knowledge was right it was a Pegasus. I looked closer and there was a bright blue Pegasus with gauntlets around its legs. The gauntlets had wings! It just made it fly faster.
Soon enough the Pegasus came down for a landing. There was a kid riding it!
He jumped off and I noticed he was wearing armor. He took off his helmet and I saw his sandy blonde hair. I looked closer into his face and saw that there was a jagged scar running down his face although he still had a huge grin on his face.
"Oh wow lookie hear. A newbie!" He said," Hey, I'm Luke. Your hero, I'm here to bring you to Camp Half-Blood."
I looked at him for a second dazed until I realized his name. It was Luke, one of the challenges that Aphrodite told me about.
It just reminded me of Reyna the other person that Aphrodite mentioned. It just made me worry for Percy. We didn't break up after I left. I was hoping I was going to go back to see him one day but I realized that we may never see each other again. I didn't know what to think.
Then I finally talked back to Luke.
"Umm you wouldn't be a demigod right, Luke?"
He smirked and said, "Of course! I'm Luke Castellan, Son of Hermes. Come on we don't have much time to talk. Two demigods together might attract monsters faster than one."
I looked at him for a second and spoke again.
" Oh really? I'm Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena. I came to New York to find somebody name Chiron."
"Oh! You mean our camp counselor. You found the right person! I'll bring him to you Annabeth! Told you I was your hero! Come on get on Wi-Fi here." He said.
"Wi-Fi?" I asked.
"Yeah it was a gift from my father for my 16 birthday! Many demigods say that the gods don't care about their children but my dad Hermes does. I know deep down inside. Gods can't show their affection towards their children but I know he tries. His names Wi-Fi because you know Hermes God of travel and communication including the internet so that explains it for you! Now hop on!" He said as he hoped onto the Pegasus.
He held out his hand to help me get on the Pegasus.
I grabbed it and got on.
"Let's fly Wi-FI!" he screamed and we were off.
We flew up so fast I almost fell off. I grabbed onto Luke's back and held on for dear life.
We were off towards Camp Half-Blood. The place where I could find Chiron, the person my mother told me to seek out.
The closer I got to Camp Half-Blood the farther I felt from Percy. I hoped this is the right decision to make.
Percy's POV
I overheard Reyna and Octavian talking in my bunk. I found out that the Camp praetor had disappeared and I was blamed.
After I heard enough I got up and walked over to them and they just stared at me in shock.
Reyna then spoke.
"Percy I'm sorry we woke you. Please go back to be-"
"Reyna. I heard. Is Jason really gone? Am I to blame?" I asked as calmly as I could.
"Yes Percy, He has disappeared he did not appear this morning for our daily Praetor meeting. The whole camp has searched for him. I'm afraid even Terminus cannot find him. He is truly gone." She said with a stern voice.
I knew behind her voice was terror.
Then Octavian spoke.
"Tell me where our praetor is! We all know it was you! Sons of Neptune are always trouble! If we find Jason we will find out it was you and we will convict you."
I looked in his eyes and saw that this was what he was hoping for. He wanted Jason gone. Did he want to be praetor? I couldn't let that happen. Then I heard Reyna yell.
"ENOUGH! Octavian go! I will speak to Percy alone. Come Percy. We must speak of this matter."
Octavian gave me a glare of disgust and left. Reyna gave me a look that told me to follow her.
We walked for a while until we made it to a hilltop.
There was an amazing garden. The hilltop gave way to the horizon of the whole camp. It was so beautiful.
Then there was a statue of a god. Reyna told me that it was Bacchus. I thought about it and remembered he was the god of wine.
We both sat down and she stared into my eyes.
"Percy, did you do something to Jason?" She asked.
I looked into her eyes and I saw the seriousness in them.
"Reyna I swear. I did nothing to Jason. I have no idea where he is." I told her.
"Percy, do you swear by the River Styx? "
"I, Percy Jackson, swear by the River Styx that I did nothing to do with Jason."
"Okay, Percy you must be telling the truth. You would have been stricken down if you haven't but what happened to Jason." She asked.
I looked at her and said," Reyna, you really care for Jason don't you? I can see it in your eyes"
She looked at me and said.
"Is it really that obvious." She said with a smirk.
I was glad she at least smirked.
"Haha yeah. We are going to find him Reyna I promise." I said
She looked at me and told me something terrible.
"Percy you do know that the Camp will blame you. Last time a son of Neptune was here he destroyed our camp with an earthquake. They will blame you. I'm sorry. You just made it to camp here and now you are already in trouble. I know you thought this was a safe place but even demigods can turn against each other."
I just looked down. Then I finally spoke back,
"It doesn't matter Reyna. I know I'll get through it. I wish Annabeth was here." I muttered.
I didn't even know who I was talking about for a second. It just blurted out of my mouth.
Then Reyna asked what I was thinking.
"Who is Annabeth?"
I just stayed silent. I didn't know myself.
Reyna knew this and soon took me back to the forums.
Campers were looking and staring at me with a hateful glare. They think I took away their leader.
Then as the sun was hitting the horizon, a explosion happened at the river. There walking up the beach was my father except this time he was huge! He stood like 10 feet tall unlike his normal figure.
All the campers stood in awe. He stabbed his trident into the ground and water erupted around him.
It looked as pure and fresh as ever. Then he pointed to me.
Mount Olympus
Aphrodite's POV
That foolish sea god. He is only going to make things worse for his son. Oh no and Annabeth has fallen into the clutches of Luke. The challenge is just the beginning. I honestly don't know if they can do it. Mhm It's been a while since we had a nice tragic love story. I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Now I must take a visit to my new friend at Camp Half-Blood. My daughter there will like this new boy. I'm sure of it. Oh dear Piper you will be another wrench in the grand scheme of love. You will see. Oh but before that.
With a wave of my hand there was a veil. There shows Athena.
"What is it Aphrodite?" Athena asked.
"I'm visiting Camp Half-Blood. Would you like to give a word to your child?" I asked
"No its fine although Aphrodite I do have a question. I sense Roman blood on the Greek soil. Can you explain this?"
"I'm sorry Athena I cannot. Maybe it is a mistake."
"ME? MAKE MISTAKES?!" Athena roared.
"Yes a mistake. I am taking my leave now. Goodbye Athena" I said.
With another wave of my hand the veil was gone. I was about to snap my fingers and be at Camp until a familiar voice stopped me.
"Aphrodite" said a voice behind me.
I turned and there stood Artemis.
"Oh well what a surprise. Artemis I welcome you to my palace." I spoke.
She bowed as did I.
"Why are you here Artemis? Why aren't you with the hunters?" I asked.
Artemis looked at me for a second. I could see her moon shine glow. It radiated warm moonlight.
She then spoke.
"Aphrodite. Do you know about this bond between two demigods? They are connected with the moon. Without it this Roman Demigod would have completely forgotten about this Greek demigod in the dip in the Little Tiber." She said.
I looked out one of the palace windows for a second and faced Artemis.
"Yes Artemis those two demigods are destined to perform great task. Without your moonlight bond they will crumble. I am asking a request. Can you please keep this bond alive for these two demigods?"
I asked of Artemis.
She looked at the ground and nodded.
"Fine I will keep this bond alive. Although Aphrodite you owe me a debt."
"I accept those terms Artemis. I thank you."
In a burst of moonlight Artemis disappeared.
"She must be going back to her hunt." I muttered.
Now it was time to go visit a little camp.
I snapped my fingers and I soon evaporated in a blaze of flowers.
