Sorry. For some reason time has escaped from me. I am such a scatterbrain. I've been meaning to update and it was in the back of my mind. Well I have kept you waiting long enough with my ranting.
Disclaimer: I do not PJO, sadly. :( Or Star Wars.
It was quiet. Silence. It was a good quiet. And that was the way he and his sister liked it. Colorful, changing flames danced around the siblings, giving the whole cabin a magical, mystical feel. The cabin's look shifted, just like the flames. The cabin went from its original form to a cave, a temple, and back again. Peace. Beautiful, wonderful peace.
"Did you hear that?" the sister asked suddenly, breaking the silence.
"I did," the brother answer, his voice calm, quiet, and collected; the complete opposite of his sister's tone. His calm voice, however, only angered her.
"How can you be so calm about this, brother? If it was me, I would-"
"Quiet, dear sister. You're going to awake the other campers with your mouth," the boy said. His response was not what she expected and just made her want to punch him. Not to mention he also cut her off. He basically flipped her off. Oh, she is so going to hex him later. Now she's going to snap at him, or maybe she'll hex him first. Maybe both.
"Quiet? Quiet? QUIET? You're telling ME to be QUIET? This is very serious and you're just meditating like Yoda from freaking Star Wars!" the sister snapped, making her flames become a very violent shade of red.
"Tyree, calm down. Let's analyze the-"
"Analyze? ANALYZE? What are we, children of Athena?"
"Well..."
"NO, we aren't. Do you think this is a joke? Do you think it's a game? Well, do you? Do you? Answer me! Julian, do you think this funny? 'Cause I don't," Tyree snapped.
They both made eye contact. Both were twins. The same facial features. Chocolate color skin, black hair, and there was a little Grecian features mixed in with African-American features as well. However, the part that stood out the most was their shining, turquoise eyes. Their dad said it came from their mom. They knew it. They've seen their mother before. A minor goddess, but very skilled in magic. She helped them get to Camp Half-Blood. Their personalities were very different, which made them clash heads often, but if you asked anyone at camp, they would say that the siblings are close. There was reason why their mother gave them that gift and now they knew why.
The flames flickered and died out. The cabin's continuous shifting slowly began to cease and then come to a complete stop. The magical feel disappeared. The room lost it's glow. A normal cabin. Standing eye to eye, the twins eyes shined with understanding of what they now what the must do. It was risky, but it had to be done. The twins knew the prophecy was coming and it was coming soon. It scared them both, but if they didn't tell him they would never hear the end of it.
The two looked at each other. Nodded at the other and said, "Right," and flew out the door. The room's magic glow completely faded and the cabin changed into the normal form. The only magical glow was the sun's golden rays, of which shined on the cabin giving that feel of the eye before the storm. And hit was going to hit hard.
"My baby. Oh, mijo. Ο γιος μου. It will be alright. We shall crush them. Help me rise and I will put Zeus under the weight of the sky. Say yes and soon the world will be yours. All you have to do is say 'yes'," the woman's voice said, her voice like a mix of a mother's and a seductress.
"I... don't-"
"What? Is my offer not tempting enough? Must I convince you further. Or are you scared of the gods, mijo?"
"No," he stuttered. He admits, never out aloud though, the gods do scare him. But he's a titian. Why should be scared. He should take the offer. Over throw the gods. It's an offer he shouldn't be able to refuse, so why is he? Is he having second thoughts?
"You are scared, aren't you? It's a shame. Perhaps I should get another brother of yours and have him rule the world. And he will not hesitate to say yes. So I will ask you again my son, will you accept my offer? All you have to do is say yes." And she disappeared into the ground, leaving a small quake in her path.
"I await an answer by the next day. Do not fail me, my grandson. And think you know what answer I want to hear from you," she said, her voice sound like it was distant and in a slumber.
His mind was numb. His mind still did not have an answer. It was easy. The words still rang clear in his head: Say yes and the world will be yours. All you have to do is say yes. Of course he wanted to rule the world. The gods would never know it was him. Never. So he should have said 'yes.' He shifted the weight of the sky so he could hold it better. Staining, he did it, but it left grazes and scratches where inchor, the blood of the immortals, began to ooze out as Nyx let the night fall on the Bay Area
The sun rose the next day on the Bay Area in San Francisco, California. The titian awoke to a sleepwalking woman.
"Have you taken up my offer yet, mijo? I told I'd be here in the morning. So have you decided?" she asked.
"I have, grandmother."
"Good," she said stretching out the word. "So what is it?"
He smirked and said, "Yes."
"Brilliant."
And that one word caused the demigods' world to come crashing down and the gods would never know what hit them.
And done, for now at least. And no I am not dead. I have been meaning to update, but my life got crazy and a bunch of other mindless chiz you wouldn't care about. We'll probably get back to Nancy in the next chapter.
And for those of you like iCarly, who saw iOMG? Loved the Seddie kiss. Seddie FTW! Also on my profile, I have a poll about should Nancy date Percy. Please do answer when you get a chance. Thanks! :D
