Authors note: The System is mixing them chapters up, so if the Chapter(s) are wonky, please don't blame me. I have tried every thing, but nothing is working.
I then went to bed. Dream:
"Hey, son, how you doin'?" asked a cheerful voice. I immediately knew it was my Dad, Apollo. I turned around and saw a man with sky blue eyes, sun-blonde hair, and 6'4. looked in his 30's and wearing a yellow leather jacket, black combat boots, and black jeans
"Well, thanks to your full Sun trick I'm feeling much better. Most of my injuries have healed, but I feel completely drained of power. That thing I did with the palm of my hand. You know the one you used to blast Perses out of existence, what is that exactly?" I asked.
He sighed, He must have knew this would come up. "That is your most powerful ability, Theo. It is an ability only my children and I can use. Since you're obviously my first and only child I will ever have adopt, this ability was passed to you. In ancient times this ability was called the Ilios Ekrixi." He explained.
" 'Sun Blast.' That's what it translates to now right?" I asked.
He nodded his head and continued. "It is an extremely dangerous and power consuming ability. It take a lot out of me and I'm a god. It can only be used at day, but thanks to having those Pieces of the Hearth(s), Sun, Moon, you can use it any time you want. You draw the energy and rays of the sun into your palm. You focus as much energy as possible into your palm and that glowing ball of light forms. The more powerful emotions you're feeling the more powerful the blast can become. The blast from it is dangerous to every being, even mortals. Other than you and I of course, we are the only ones who control it and not be harmed." He finished explaining.
"Well, then how come I almost died when I used it on the beach?" I asked.
"It's partly because Perses used his destructive powers and as much as I hate to admit it he is extremely powerful. It hurt you this time because your body isn't properly attuned to handle that kind of energy yet. Your too young, and haven't been trained to use it yet." Apollo finished again.
My face fell slightly, He knew what I was upset about and my words confirmed it. "I kicked Perses's ass. I would've died if not for that arrowhead. Also, you're probably in trouble now for breaking an ancient law, Dad. You wouldn't be in trouble if I was stronger." I said sadly. Annabeth told me Apollo came personally and shot Ares, like 25 times.
"Listen to me Theo, don't worry about me. I broke an ancient law yes, but I would do a lot more to keep you safe. Also don't feel bad, the fact you were able to conjure such a powerful Sun blast is amazing. You went toe to toe with a TITAN! You almost defeated him. You're only just turned thirteen 2 and 1/2 months ago Theo, the day "It" happened, you will be so strong by the time you're older." He told me, running his hand through my dreadlocks.
Dream end
Note to self: NEVER EVER reveal any powers that might get you sent to Olympus.
I was training my Umbrakinesis, when 13 flashes of light became present in the arena. The Gods appeared in their full glory. Zeus looked at me with a 'bow down to me or face my wrath' face . "Are Theo Draco Lysandrian?"
"Yes, who wants to know?" I asked, my voice laced with caution. I heard about Zeus from Myths. In some he is nice and misunderstood and in some, he is just a flat-out dick.
"I want my Master Bolt back" said Zeus, holding out his hand. I looked confused. Was this what Annabeth was talking about I thought to myself. "I swear on the Styx I would if I could, but I don't know how." I said, sheepishly, thunder boomed and the Gods saw I was still standing, so they relaxed. I turned to Apollo, my dad "Hey, Dad, how you doing?"
Dad smiled, which literally shined like the Sun, "I'm doing fine, son. How about you? I hear that you got girls looking at ya from a far." That last sentence made blush with embarrassment and confusion. "Daaaaaadddd" I whined.
Hermes chuckled and said "Looks like Apollo adopted someone for the first time."
Zeus then asked "Is this true, Apollo?" and Dad nodded. Hades came up to me wearing a style similar to the Di Angelo's, a green hat and a simple black t-shirt and blue jeans. He smiled warmly at me and then gave me a ring and said, in a relieved voice "Thank you for rescuing my children, Theo"
"All them are you children?" ask Artemis, who was, somehow, sort of angry. Hades then said "Bailey is adopted, mainly because she is your child"
Athena then looked at Artemis in disgust and said, with distaste, "Hestia(/Vesta) ,I can understand, but I you too Artemis? I can not believe you." Artemis looked down in shame. I felt angry. People can change if they want to. So what if it includes seeing how not all people are what you believe in?
"It doesn't matter whether she broke her oath, what matters is if she is ready to accept that her beliefs can be changed and that she is a Mom now. This actually can be a good thing for the minor gods who don't respect her at all, just fear her." I said with a hint of venom in my tone.
Athena looked taken back, but kept her mouth shut. I then put the ring on and a onyx black glow appeared around my body, along with a Multi-colored glow, which confused Hades, because he said "The Rainbow colored glow wasn't supposed to happen"
Athena then said "It seems Theo has gained the Blessings of Primordials, a blessings that chose the person to wield it in the form of a Symbiotic slime and it was created by 80% of every single Primordial" and as if on cue, a golden slime spread from the ring on to entire my body and sunk into my skin. I didn't feel it much, though.
I then went on my way to Apollo cabin, since Hestia's cabin is still being built, thinking What am I going to tell Leon. Then the the giant form of Luke came up to us. The son of Hermes looked troubled however. He looked at Percy and me, not with the happy go-lucky look he usually did. He seemed on edge. He eyed us weird, and it didn't sit well with my Demigod instincts.
"Hey Luke, how's it goin?" Percy asked happily as if this was normal.
He cracked a smile, but I could see it was forced. "I'm good. Just came to see my two favorite newbies. Hey what do you say we just head out into the forest? Find some monsters to fight. Just something to do before you two head out." He said with another forced smile.
He said "favorite newbies" very strangely. He said it as if it was difficult for him to say, like he didn't actually mean it. He was up to something. I hoped it was a prank, but I mean Luke wouldn't try to hurt us. Would he? Since Percy and I returned from our quest he has been pretty cold to the two of us.
He avoided us like the plague, and now he wanted to take us into the forest for monster hunting? It didn't sit right, weather it was a prank, or a trap I didn't want to put myself and Percy in that situation. Percy has become practically my brother, but he was too trusting. I learned the hard way that, unless a person would die for you, never trust them 100%. People like Percy, Bailey, Leon, Annabeth, Grover, Bianca and Nico, Zoe, Chiron, my mom, they were the few people who had given me reason to trust them 100%.
Luke however had never given me any reason to trust him that much. I was going to deny his offer, but of course Percy spoke up for both of us.
"Sure, that sounds cool. Let's get going!" Percy said smiling.
I forced the smile this time. Thankfully we would be heading into the forest at least. Luke tensed more and more as we walked, his hands and shoulders were twitching like something was trying to burst out of him. It made me even more uneasy, even in the forest I was in trouble now. I didn't know if Percy and I could take Luke, even with having the numerical advantage.
We stopped at Zeus's fist near the river. It finally seemed as if the thing inside Luke was ready to burst. He started sprawling on about how terrible his life has been. How he had to run away, how he wanted to avenge Thalia. He said words against the gods. He was on an absolute rant.
"LUKE! Calm down what are you telling us all this for?" I asked tired of hearing him rant.
He looked at me murderously. "Theo, Theo, Theo, you have no idea how much trouble you've caused my lord! It was bad enough having a new sea spawn in the world, now we have a Son of the Hearth(s) and a Son of Hercules. Another worthless Olympian, who will leave you the moment they no longer have use of you!" He shouted at me.
Those few sentences made me angrier then I'd ever been. He called my mother worthless. He said she was just like all the other Olympians, well she isn't. I knew for a fact my mother would never abandon me. She loves me. Saying that about HESTIA(/VESTA) is like saying Aphrodite CAN stop sleeping with half the male population
I was extremely lucky I could keep myself calm. My Father had explained to me more about my Sun blast ability in my dreams. He said that I would have to be at least 15, to have the body mass to handle it repeatedly. He said strong emotions trigger it on its own in the day. The amount of anger I was feeling right now, the ball of Sun moon energy could be as big as my head.
"Don't you DARE say a word against my mother! My mother loves me, and I know it! She'd never toss me aside like you saw!" I shouted back.
Percy's hand was in his pocket. He only did that when he sensed danger. He must've caught onto what was happening. Good, now Percy realizes, after we walk into this now obvious trap. I loved Percy, I really do, but he can act rash sometimes.
Luke just laughed. "Haha of course she does, Theo. You're her only child ever, she treats you like a pampered servant. Just wait, she'll toss you aside once the great prophecy is-"He couldn't finish. A slender shadow from the tree next to him, hit him in the stomach. Through my rage though, I assume I was able to force the tree branch's shadow into Luke's stomach. He wasn't hit very hard but the force was enough to make him stumble and fall onto his back.
Percy and I tried making a run for it, but I grabbed him and pulled him back. I heard a small hissing noise. I pulled Percy back and in front of us on the ground stood an extremely deadly looking scorpion. I heard a second hissing sound and another showed up right next to it.
"Pit scorpion, it'll kill us!" Percy said quietly as we slowly walked backwards.
We ended up sitting up against a rock, with the two scorpions closing in fast. As the two creatures slowly crawled up the legs of me and Percy, Luke stood in front of us, with a glare of death on his face.
"It was all supposed to be so simple. I steal the bolt and the helm from Olympus. I give it to Ares, he gives it to you. You bring it to Hades, Hades starts a war of the gods. Then it would give my lord Kronos the distraction he needs to rise." He told us shaking his head.
Between the extremely poisonous scorpion crawling up my arm now, and Luke's revelation my blood turned to ice. Kronos. The king of the Titans former ruler of the world. The lord of time. One of the most powerful beings in history. He was returning, and Luke was trying to help him! My blood boiled, he would let Kronos rise just to get back at the Olympians.
"Now I'll let my little friends here take care of you two. Goodbye Percy, Goodbye Theo. It was nice knowing you." He said with an evil smirk.
"Luke." I said calmly.
He turned back to me. "Luke, you had better hope these things kill us. Because if it doesn't... I will hunt you down, I will find you, and I will kill you." I said in a deadly tone.
Luke just laughed and pulled out his fancy new long sword. "Good luck." He said.
He swiped his sword and opened a portal, which he stepped through. He disappeared.
The scorpions were on Percy and I's shoulders now. I had to be extremely slow, then extremely quick.
"Percy?" I asked quietly.
"Y...yeah?" He asked.
"Slowly, ever so slowly, reach and press my belt buckle." I told him in a calm and collected voice.
His hand was close to my side, he very slowly reached up his hand. He pressed the center of my belt buckle. I prayed my knives would open silently, which they did. I very slowly reached my left hand onto my dagger.
"Percy, take my right knife, and in the name of the gods be fast." I told him.
He slowly nodded. With the speed and grace of a true hunter of Artemis, I pulled the dagger from my belt and swiftly slashed the tiny scorpion in half. I was breathing heavy and noticed the dead beast at my feet. I then noticed I didn't hear Percy. I turned around and my heart dropped. The scorpion lay dead at Percy's feet, but he did not look to good. He was curled almost in a fetal position, color quickly draining from his face.
"Oh gods Percy no!" I yelled crouching down next to him.
I managed to secure him onto my back, and I dashed into the forest back towards camp. I felt Percy's body go limp, and I knew I only had a little time left. If only the moon were out, I could heal him, and move even faster. Chiron was his only hope now. I needed to get him there, I kicked it into high gear, and I bounded through the forest like one of my mother's magical phoenixes. The ground always seeming to be perfect for my next leap. I soon had the camp in sight.
