Hi! I'm back! Did you miss me?
I crack myself up sometimes. XD
And I finished Sea of Monsters and I am currently about 70-80% through The Titan's Curse. So, HAPPY DANCE!

The centipedes kept on carrying me towards Los Angeles. We had been at this for weeks. Always travelling, staying away from populated areas. Staying away from those who might know about us.
The centipedes had put me down a long time ago. I just kept on walking with them, because I knew that it would be useless to fight them. At least, that's what I kept telling myself was the reason.
We were currently in some large forest I had never heard of. The trees were green and orange and gray and even blue.
The leaves crunched under my feet and the centipede's whatever-they-are. We hadn't really run into any problems on our way. Probably because the monsters wouldn't bother us and we were far away from any populated areas.
But I was still given a sword. Actually, two. One made of celestial bronze for monsters, and one made of mortal steel for others.
The celestial bronze one was long and thin with the image of a snake engraved in the blade, with the head at the hilt, and the tip of the tail at the tip of the sword.
The steel one was in-between thin and thick and it was a bit long, but not that much.
I was also given two gray back slings for the swords.
I held the bronze one. It was severely off-balance. I kept on thinking that it was fall down forwards into the ground. I put it back in its sheath.
I held the steel one. It was also off-balance. I felt like it was going to fall down sideways. I put it back in the sheath.
I was hit by a crazy idea. Again.
I wielded both of them. I had the bronze sword in my right hand, and the steel sword in my left hand.
They were both perfectly balanced like this. I felt like I could take on a cheetah-sailfish-hybrid without getting hurt by it. That was weird.
"Discovering your… 'Talent'?" The biggest centipede asked me.
"So this is because of my godly parent?" I asked.
"Hm… Sure…"
I sheathed the swords, creeped out.
We kept on walking in the forest, until the day became night and the blue jays became owls.
"This seems like a good place to stop for the night." The big centipede stated.
"Okay. But can I get a drink? I'm parched." I asked honestly. My throat felt a bit less then almost like how it did when I woke up a few weeks ago.
"Sure. There's a lake that way." It flicked it's head to the west.
"Thanks. I'll be back soon."
I ran to the west, towards the lake. Leaves were attacking me left and right as I ran.
After a while, I reached the lake. It was circular, with clear water and an old, rusty bucket next to it. The sight was beautiful, but that's not what I was looking at.
At the other end of the lake was a feminine figure, but it didn't look that feminine. The only reason why I could tell was because of the familiar brown hair.
It couldn't be her. I thought. Right?

Who's the girl? Any ideas?
Reviews maybe?
