Also, to all those who thought that I wasn't going to continue the story (myself included) well NO. Also, I realize that I haven't put a disclamer up (only on the first chapter) so yea. Rick Riordan had tried to make his stories without my consent knowing the consequences (which weren't very big) and easily succeeded, but one day, I will get the deed. I've sent my assassins. In the meantime, PJO and HoO are both his. One last thing, I forgot to describe the new universe. As opposed to a void like ours, theirs is a universe full of heat, and the sun is there to cool them off (the sun is made of water). PEACE!
New People
With the metal in hand, I reached the base trying to find Ghost.
"You got it bro?" It was Nico, wondering the obvious. I showed him the metal, and he sniffed at it.
"Well I'm sorry if I can't fucking teleport!" I said with a minor inkling of rage. Minor.
"Haha! Dude, it's fine. Now let's do the fun part." He took the metal from my hands and started to melt it, taking his time.
"Check out what I got." He took out some flip thing, and put it on display as the metal started melting. What he had was a little piece of steel and flint hitting each other and making green as opposed to red sparks.
"Greek fire?"
"Oh yea baby."
Since he was the son of Hades or Pluto, he could rule the dead, and they aren't affected very much by the fire, seeing as they're dead and all. In the latest war with Typhon, Hades used the dead to throw Greek fire, still allowing him to shank Typhon with his two-pronged fork thing, so I'm assuming that he can… I don't really know, but fire is good. Maybe there's some oil around or something.
Anyways. I'm tired with my bloodshot eyes, so I'm gonna hit the hay.
The next morning, I rushed over to see zombie boy as he was doing some intense hip thrusts. At first I was concerned, but then my ears kicked in as I heard Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson (the real one, not the stupid Glee one), but I realized that Nico might just have met Michael Jackson and gotten some lessons. When he saw me, his face didn't even redden. He just laughed. Sometimes, it was good just to be able to laugh, but not for Nico. Ever since, well, not really ever since, 'cuz this is the first time and all, but yea, and he laughed a lot.
He showed me that the Xiphos was almost done cooling (really high solidifying temperature) and I would have my blades by the afternoon. The afternoon was two hours ago. It was almost time for dinner, seeing as I had gotten to sleep at four in the morning. I may be an assassin, but who says we don't like to sleep?
According to Ghost as he popped in through the door, it was my turn to go get food.
I was swinging through the – ah - rooftops when I accidentally bumped into somebody. I was more or less sprawled over her, so when I got up, I could feel the tips of my ears reddening. I mumbled apologies when I caught her eye. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. Piercing in the deepest of ways, ruling over you, commanding you to do anything with a single blink. I was lost. I was also aware of that, and tried to rush myself back to reality, but found it difficult. With said difficulty, I apologized once more as I left. I felt the cold and brutal head of a spear at the back of my neck, and turned around slowly. I saw her sky-blue eyes once more. She had a spear pointed at my now exposed neck. Knowing I could use the water in the flasks on my wrists, which were an inch away from her spear head, I wanted to have some fun. I head butted the spear.
"Don't do that you idiot! You'll kill—! See, now you've knocked over the flowerpots. Just stand still for one second, will you?" I frose. "What's your name?" I replied Thanatos. "Well, Thanatos, will you tell me what happened to Percy?" I was struck dumb. How did she know my name? "Percy, your friend Ghost sent me to get you. You've been running for over an hour, you know. Do you even know where you are?" I did find it funny that I hadn't reached the market yet.
"So what's your name?" She replied with Thalia. Apparently Ghost knew her mom/guardian, but when she died, Ghost sent her off with a blond boy and blond girl. She liked them, but things got complicated (as in they were old and she was young) (not Luke and Annabeth) so she decided to come back. With that, we went to get food.
The next couple of days have been a blur as I spend time with Thalia and Nico, not really doing anything. Nico spends a lotof time with Ghost because he is on a series of quests, so Thalia and I got to know each other better. Her favorite bands were Stabilo, Green Day, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, The Who, Aerosmith, and Guns and Roses, whereas I didn't know anything but Michael Jackson. We went on many escapades, and I'm not sure, but I think that we may even be besties (pardon the horrible word).
