Chapter 9
Perseus was on the far end of his cave; this past few days he had gotten new test subjects and his cave had gotten to small for the size he needed, to he made one of his many servants on the mortal world to buy for him some materials for construction and with those he made 10 bodies work to expand the cave. He not only wanted the cave to be bigger and longer, he also wanted it to be deeper, so that he could train more on his aura with out any gods noticing his energy. Also he wanted a bigger space to store the corpses he had been acquiring those past few weeks, and while he was sure he couldn't keep them any longer on the ponds so he decided to grip them on a special vine he had heard from the nature spirits, making the decomposition slower than usual.
Also he needed alive test subjects to try his homely made poisons on.
After 1 hour Perseus saw that his workers would take longer than he thought on remodeling the cave, so he decided to let them work alone for the time being while he went back to the camp.
When Perseus arrived at camp half-blood, everyone was on the arena training, or chatting with some friends. Seeing this, Perseus went to the Aphrodite's cabin and entered inside.
The Aphrodite cabin was full of pink and of clothes thrown around, the beds were never made and the older people usually were on the far end of the cabin. After the summer had ended the cabin had lost most of its members and there were only 5 left, those including Sofie, however most of those members were never on the cabin, as they stayed with they're couple the days that Chiron and Mr D weren't there. Going to the last bed of the cabin that was with a curtain on and it was written. "Don't disturb" Perseus took the curtain and opened, seeing Sofie kissing a boy that didn't have a shirt on.
"Hey! Why are you here!" The boy yelled at Perseus, the boy would be about 16, Perseus remembered that he was from Apollo's cabin and that he had a long list of girlfriends.
"Sofie, make him go, I need you for something." Perseus commanded Sofie with out sparing a glance from the boy.
"Ok, Jack, you don't remember anything that we did, you don't know what you did in the day but you weren't with me." Sofie told him with charmspeak on her words. Jack nodded and went to the door and went out like a zombie, when Perseus was sure no one was on the cabin he directed his eyes to Sofie.
"Get fully dressed, I need your charmspeak for something." After Sofie was dressed with a blue t-shirt she went with Perseus to front door of the big house.
"What do you need me for?" Sofie asked while looking at the two satyrs on the front door playing with the cards.
"I need you to charmspeak those satyrs into letting us pass and don't remembering anything about it afterwards." Perseus told her while they walked in front of the satyrs, when they raised they're hands to stop them for questioning, Sofie charmspeaked them onto letting them pass. Once they were inside the old house Perseus went to the second floor of the house.
"Why are we here Perseus?" Sofie asked her master as they entered what she recognized as Chiron's office.
Perseus didn't seem to listen to her and went onto a pile of papers, after a couple of minutes he took a large file with papers on it and opened to read it. When Sofie looked at the papers they contained names with addresses and phone numbers.
"What is this Perseus?" She asked while watching him take pictures of all the papers on it.
"This my dear Sofie, is the complete list of demigods that are alive and are around the world that Chiron has. Of course all of them are retired and have some families, or are the sons of minor gods that have almost no smell to monsters." Said Perseus while putting the file right were it was and seeing if he had done something that might make Chiron suspicious that he had been here.
"Why do we need those?"
"Because my dear Sofie, wouldn't it be fun if Chiron suddenly heard that demigods all over the country are disappearing suddenly?" Perseus told her while he closed the door after she went out.
"That would certainly be entertain it, but some of those demigods are veterans and have years of experience behind them, ho can we beat them?" Sofie liked the idea of going hunting demigods, and Perseus knew that, however she was smart enough to know that as strong as they were, many strong demigods were out there.
"Well, of course we aren't going for them right away, this is just a part of the plan."
When they arrived back to Aphrodite's Sofie went to her bed and took out a small mirror and took out a lipstick.
"So, can you tell me what the plan is?" Sofie asked Perseus while she checked her make up on the mirror to check that she was as beautiful as always.
"No, but I will need you for most of the plan, so the next time you are with anyone I want you to tell them to go the moment you see me." He told her while checking his phone with the photos of the documents.
"Is someone jealous?" She told him while eyeing him from top to bottom and licked her lips.
"Don't be ridiculous, I just need of your powers for my plan, you are free to date any person. But remember to not fall for them." He told her while going to the front door and going outside her cabin.
"Who knows, if you aren't careful I might fall for you." She told him while finishing her make up and changing clothes.
The next months went fairly quick. Perseus hadn't had any other meeting with Sofie and had carried on with his routine of training his body and skills at fighting. Chiron had come back to the camp and didn't seem to notice anyone entering on his office.
A few days after the accident the camp found out about Claire's attack and the camp decided it had been a monster attack, the new counselor was a girl named Chelsea, she was 18 years old and was one of the most desired girls of the Camp half-blood, while when Claire was on the camp she trained and motivated the other children of Aphrodite to train their skills and improve on fighting, Chelsea was on improving their looks.
After the last two months of training, Perseus had been training as hard as he could, he knew that he had been only able to fight Claire thanks to his surprise attack, aura and powers. And all those three things were things that he wouldn't always have. While he had already surpassed most of the kids on camp at the spear except the older guys at the Ares cabin, his experience was very poor to the older campers, and he knew that that was the reason the would never be able to be as good as them unless he had all that experience. So he had decided to go on a trip out side after winter for a couple of months.
Perseus was on one of the 2 vans that were going on the direction of the Empire States building, he was looking at the window, seeing people singing and some homeless people dressing as Santa Claus and asking for money to the rich.
Perseus unlike most, was on the front of the van, everyone was talking about going to Olympus and meeting their parents, Perseus was reading at one of his many notebooks with souls and making sure that all of them were right if anytime he needed to summon souls.
When they arrived at the front gate of the empire state building the group of campers unified all on one.
"Ok is everyone here? Then lets go to Olympus!" Chiron said on his wheelchair while taking out a card from his pocket and inserting it on the elevator.
"Ok all inside, remember once inside don't separate from the group, the gods don't like demigods around Olympus!" When everyone one was on the elevator Chiron gave to the button that had just appeared with the number 600, after a couple of minutes on the elevator the doors opened.
Perseus had seen Olympus several times already since he had been on the camp, however it always impressed him even thought all powerful beings had made it.
Olympus was like a huge island on the clouds, there were many statues, starting from the main gods to the most insignificant, temples had been raised all over the place and satyrs and nature spirits were always bringing some offerings to those temples. On the center of Olympus stood a giant building with greek columns, around that giant buildings stood several others that looked like palaces, those were the palaces that the 12 Olympians always had on Olympus. Besides those buildings stud many parks full of trees and of statues of nature gods or satyrs.
The group of demigods were walking towards the huge building on the center of the legendary city, many other gods were going towards the building wanting to assist to the reunion that the Olympian council would be conducting and in which Hades and his main servants would be able to assist. Perseus had several times seen his father besides Hades chair, but had never talked to him or anything similar. It wasn't because Perseus hated or disliked his father, like many of his fellow demigods did, but because he didn't want the camp and gods to know who his father was and find out any of his possible powers.
When everyone was on the throne room and the gates had been closed and no god could enter anymore, Zeus the king of gods took his symbol of power, his lighting, and threw it at the sky, making a huge sound go all around the city of gods and on the mortal world.
"I declare this meeting started! If anyone has any matters to discus tell the council now!" And just like that a 3 hours meeting started, from who should have less time to go out with lovers, to who had stolen some animal to another god. After the entire meeting had finished, the gods made a huge party all around the city, alcohol was served to the gods, however some demigods took also wine, and partied the whole night.
