Chapter 11: Week Numero Uno
Percy POV:
All week after the audience with Kronos and Gaia, Queen and King of dipshit, I hid my true work under false work. At night, I would be roaming Mt. Othrys killing any stray monsters so their army slowly dwindled down. I also attended all meetings being hosted. There was one today. So far, they have been lying low, hoping to build up their army even more. Some demigods reported some monsters to have…ahem, mysteriously disappeared. I also found out Kronos had a nasty trick up his disgusting sleeve. He got some the worst Primordials to join, in other words, he got Tartarus and Erebus to join him. Oh great.
~~~Time Skip: After the Meeting~~~
I cracked my neck, relieving its stiffness. The meeting was extremely long. I headed back to my room, ready to deliver the daily report back to the gods. Calypso was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Hey sweet heart." I said. Calypso looked up.
"Hi Perce." she replied. "The meeting finally over?"
"Yep." I walked over to the bathroom, Calypso walking after me. "I need to make a report. And I think it's time to introduce my soul mate to the world!"
Calypso blushed and giggled. She looks so cute like that. I gave her a kiss on the cheek. "C'mon."
With my powers, I created a beam of sunlight and a spray with water. To keep the sunlight on, I transferred the light to the bathroom light overhead. Then I tossed in a drachma. "Fleecy, do me a solid."
"Excuse me?!" A woman exclaimed. The image shimmered until it showed a woman wearing an apron holding a pie. It was Iris. "What is this 'Fleecy do me a solid' thing? Whatever happened to 'O' Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, accept my offering?"
Calypso held in a laugh. I mock glared at her. "My apologies, Lady Iris. I am friends with Fleecy who told me to say that since she told me how she sorta took over the communication lines."
"Humph. Since you apologized so nicely, I will let this slide this once. Who do you wish to contact?"
"Camp Half-Blood, my lady." The screen shimmered again and this time it showed me the camp. Thalia was slouching against her pine tree, looking very bored. "What up Thals?"
Thalia shot up so fast, she almost hit her head on one of the lower branches of the tree. "Percy! You shocked me. Do you have an update, and oh. Who's this little pretty girl behind hmmm?" Her tone went from serious to teasing.
Calypso blushed, earning herself another kiss from me. Thalia made kissy faces at us. "Call the gods. I'll tell you when they're all here." She nodded and made another kissy face before running off.
10 minutes later, we've got the whole camp in front of us. Thalia strode up to us. "So, gonna tell us what's going on so far?"
And with that, I started talking about today's meeting. When I finished, it was death silence. Hades broke the tension. "Erebus and Tartarus? This is even more serious than we thought. We're going to need more allies and create a whole new plan."
Apollo smirked "Gee, when have you gotten so wise, death breath?"
Nico cut in. "Hey that's my name."
"Fine, then Emo dude..."
"That too!"
"Death boy?"
"Nuh uh."
"Ghost King…"
"Nope."
"Zombie Dude?"
"Taken."
"Oh my GODS! What nickname isn't taken?" Apollo demanded. Hades and Nico high fived. I cut in, "Hey guys, we're here to discuss, not fight."
Calypso chipped in. "Percy's right. Besides I've been doing a little work too."
I chuckled and gave her yet again another kiss. "Of course you have."
Everyone switched their attention on to Calypso. The gods seem to have recognized her. "Calypso! What are you doing outside the island you have been sentenced to?" Zeus thundered.
"If you must know, Atlas busted me outta there with a demand to support Kronos. Then Percy came along and we found out that we were soul mates. If you want details ask Lady Aphrodite. Now I'm helping Percy. As I said earlier, I have been doing some work too."
Artemis lifted an eyebrow. "Care to elaborate?"
"Well, when Percy is gone doing who knows what, I go around to some immortals that I know are rebelling against Kronos. I've got the Amazons fighting for us since Kronos had threatened them into joining. Then I got Metis and Leto to help. Some of the gentler giants, Ladon and Sophie, youngest of the Hesperides, agreed to be part of our army, too. Next up, Lady Nyx and Lord Aether has joined our cause. Oh, Lords Zeus, Apollo, and Lady Artemis? I've got a message for you three from Metis and Leto. Metis says she forgives you, Lord Zeus. Leto says you two need to visit 'your dear old mother' more often."
I gaped at her, not knowing how she gotten some Primordials to help us. From the looks on the Gods' faces, I'm sure they were thinking exactly what I was thinking. Just then a knock sounded on the door. I sent a swift look over to the door and with a silent apology, swiped my hand through the picture, cutting the connection. Calypso opened the door to find…a servant. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Dinner is ready, sir and lady." Then he left. I strode over to my true love and hugged her. We headed towards the dining room and as we went, I whispered into her ear, "You've got talent." Once again, she blushed.
And that's the end to Chapter 11. I'm sorry for not updating sooner but summer school is giving homework and it's keeping me away from you guys. *Shies away* Don't kill me!
