Hey guys, I am back. What have you been doing with your lives, mine I have been out of school for snow. But you really don't care about my life. So, onward with the story.
Me: Would you please do the introduction, Boreas.
Boreas: Since I owe Kara a favor and wanted to use it on this, I really need to talk to that girl.
Me: Do the introduction, you arrogant north breeze.
Boreas: How dare you call me that, I will end you for that.
(Snow falls onto of me) Me: That doesn't faze me that much, I like the cold.
Boreas: Oh, well, Kara Godeleus only owns herself and some of the plot.
"Boreas, I said I was sorry, now stop blowing against me," I screamed as the north wind sent another blast against my right wing sending me, almost, spiraling into a tree.
I had managed to get to Massachusetts without much of a hitch, but as soon as I had hit the border Boreas had started his windy assault on me.
Another gust shot past me, and I saw one of his sons, I tried to grab him back I was to late. "Stop it, come on it was a south wind kid, your enemy," I felt something past an inch beside my right wing, a sword.
I rolled over and managed to catch one of the Boreads of guard, and I took the chance to grab his sword and give him a swift kick to his chest. He when into a tall pine tree and puffed out pine needles after he hit, one down, one to go.
"Don't hurt my sons," a voice screamed at me as the wind stopped its harsh attacks on me, the Boread, I hadn't sent flying, appeared next to a forming column of ice and snow.
His light blue skin stood out against his bronze breastplate, laurels hung slightly off his ruffled, shocked white hair. His ice blue eyes burned with anger towards me, an icy sword was in his hand.
"Don't touch my sons," his voice was steady, but his tone bit me cold, chilling me to the bone.
"Tell them to leave my wings alone," I said back to him, trying to raise my body temperature, to seem intimidating.
"I saw to leave her wings alone, just keep creating winds to blow her off course," he said, turning to look at his son, who was an exact copy of him expect in a 70s disco suit.
"But father, I was only trying to accomplish your wishes and she kept going straight without a problem," he looked down at his sword that had a rainbow feather tied onto it, that wind spirit took a feather from me.
"I do not care if my wishes were accomplished as she said it was a south wind's child, my enemy, but I must act like the other winds do," he smiled at me, I knew he had a soft spot for me, even before JFK's death.
"You should have made that clear than, father," Boreas turned to glare at his son, who quickly shrunk away from him.
"Kara, I'm sorry for my sons' behavior, you may pass into Boston free of us," he stuck out his hand as if to shake mine, but I handed him his son's sword.
"Thank you, Boreas and I accept your non-needed apology," I said as he started to disappear, taking his son with him.
I flapped my wings gaining speed again, hoping to be there before Annabeth's arrival and to keep my promise. My wings were starting to steam against the snowflakes, making me stop so I could cool down and make my wings contract.
After a few minutes of flying, Boston started to appear in the against the white snow. A stream of white light shot down from a skyscraper, Valkyries must be working today.
"Huh, would have thought Odin would have given them a day off," I thought out aloud, hoping not to get a response, but as always my hopes were crushed.
"Of course not, Kara, and besides the Valkyries would still work even if he gave them a day off," I turned to look at a girl in armor riding an eight-legged horse.
"You know I kind of wanted an uneventful flight to Boston, but I had the Boreads with Boreas and now you boarded my plane, that is an eventful flight," I said looking at my Norse counterpart, Miranda, her forest green eyes and mousy brown hair were one of the few things that could distinguish each of us.
"My plan didn't involve the greek north winds interrupting your flight, but I need to ask you a question," she gave me a sad smile with apologetic eyes, one of the few people I would believe them on.
"What is your question than my little sister, also do you mind if I ride your pony with you," I smiled at her as I sat down on Odin's steed.
"I have a child to watch and I know what is going to happen to her, but I am worried about it, what should I do," she turned around on the horse to look at me.
"Well, first I happy you finally got a child and what do you mean, you know what will happen to her," her forest green eyes started to tear up.
"Odin has already chosen her to be a Valkyrie, but she is not going to be a Valkyrie when Magnus Chase arrives in Valhalla," ice started to hit my arms, making them sting.
"Ok, I would just let everything happen and the chips fall where they may, how did you find this out," my godly, motherly instincts kicked in and I wanted her to stay out of this child's life, but I pushed them aside.
"Odin told me the first part, I searched the second part, I wanted to know my first child's destiny, but I never did get to see it," she said wiping away the icicles that clung to her eyelashes.
"It will be fine, you are there for her every step of the way, right," she looked away from me.
"No, I disappear after she becomes a Valkyrie, but I don't know why and that is what scares me, what if I see her again and she hates me," she placed her head on my shoulder and started to sob.
"We all had that worry when we each got our first child to watch, but that is something Chaos can't change, little sis, just try to be there for her when you can, because trust me the gods will interfere with you every step of the way, but just work through it and everything will be okay, now stop crying on my jacket, please," she nodded her head, looked down at the ground.
"I trust your advice," she said simply.
"Really, because even I don't trust it," I smiled at her, making her crack a grin and lightly shove me.
"This is your stop, Randolph's manor, just a forewarning there with be a battle axe and a woman at the door waiting for you," she pushed me of the horse, lucky my wings were still there and they caught some of the north wind, causing me not to plummet to my death.
"Thanks for the pushing off warning, too," I yelled up at the sky, trying to right myself with my wings.
After almost impaling myself on Randolph's spiked fence, I was walking up the driveway with my sword in hand. I knocked on the door and ducked, thanks Miranda for the warning, because a ten pound battle axe swung over my head and landed in the yard.
"Who are you," a woman yelled from somewhere in the mud room.
"I'm Kara Godeleus, daughter of all greek gods and protector of Annabeth Chase," a woman's head peeked out from behind a suit of armor.
"Greek gods, that is the first of those gods of I have heard of, but you have rainbow wings so maybe I should," she slashed down with a sword aimed towards my skull, I raised my sword to deflected it.
"Maybe you should consult your boyfriend Frey," she stopped mid-swing and looked at me, a new light shining in her eyes.
"No one knows who I had my boy with," she looked at me, the broadsword looked to be to heavy for her to lift now.
"Well, I come from the Greek world and it is very rare that I don't know who had a child from any of the realms, Norse included," I have got to remember to ask Poseidon about his newest son or Zeus about either his Rome or Greek children.
"What is his name," she lifted the sword again, preparing to swipe my head off with it.
"Magnus Chase, son of Frey, cousin to Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena," I looked at her as if asking if she wanted more from me.
"I still don't trust you," she said, but put the sword down on the ground.
"I never asked you to trust me, come to think about it I never asked you for anything," I said walking into the mud room, shaking the snow of my wings and body.
"Well, I'm asking you to turn down the sass, so my son doesn't pick it up," she was dragging the broadsword across the ground towards the suit of armor.
"Sass is a demigods best friend, and do you need help," I raised my arm causing the sword to float out of her grasps and into the suit of armor waiting hands.
"I didn't need your help," she glared at me, but she also had a thankful look in her eyes.
"Not many people do, and if they do want it, I don't give it to them," I said retracting my wings and calling my sword back to my arm.
"Stay away from my son, and when Frederick and his daughter gets here, I'll see if I should have killed you," she stalked out of the room, man I love overprotective demigod mothers, they are so rare now a day.
"Your son the safest with me and Frederick can't see me, only Annabeth," I yelled after her, following her inside the manor.
"You are not Miranda," she turned to look at me when I finally caught up with her.
"I'm her greek form, all of us exist in the world as singles, but trust me, we are the same people," I said, holding her gaze, one thing, of these mothers, I didn't like was the inability to trust me.
"Kara, we are here," I heard Annabeth scream from the front door, thank mom, I had gotten here before she did, because I did not want to upset her.
"I still believe you are the spawn of Loki, and do not trust you," she growled at me before walking back to the door to let Annabeth and Frederick in.
"First off Loki is not bad just misunderstood and I'm going to take that as a compliment because I do enjoy good mischief, and second how do you know if they aren't Loki spawn mimicking your brother and niece," I smiled at her as I lift myself two a second story window, the mud room didn't have a second floor above it.
Athena hadn't yelled at me for letting her child die, and the girl on the lawn cradled my bag in her arms.
"Let them in, they are the real people," I said lowering myself down onto the floor and looked at her.
"Using your logic, how do I not know you and them are working together," she said blocking me from the door.
"Trust me sweetheart you aren't that scary or strong, you need a weapon that you can lift and swing with ease before you start on scaring enemies away, now just open the door," I said reaching between her arms, turning to catch the door knob.
"I'll open the door, but never call me sweetheart again," she snarled at me, but open the door letting Annabeth and Frederick in the manor.
"Kara, you made it here, how did you get here before me," she ran into my arms, my bag thrown almost right back into the wintry wonderland outside.
"That is the name of her imaginary friend, don't mind her when she talks about Kara," Frederick said to her while he gave her his bags and walking inside.
"I told you don't trust Frederick on the topic of me, because I am just imaginary to him," I said to her when I noticed her shocked expression after Frederick left, "But to you, I am as real as you and her," I lifted Annabeth up into the air to see her aunt.
"Hi, my name is Annabeth and I am four years old and I am you niche," Annabeth said, showing her, her little pearly whites and also sticking out her hand to shake her aunt's.
"Annabeth it is pronounced niece, not niche, but good job on introducing yourself," I said to her as Natalie stuck her hand accepting Annabeth's hand.
"Hi, Annabeth, I am your aunt Natalie, but you can call me anything you want," she smiled at Annabeth, all the hostile towards me disappeared in the instant Annabeth smiled at her.
"Annabeth can you tell me where you put my bag, when you came in," I said to her as I sat her back down on the ground.
"Oh right sorry Kara, I will go get it for you," she walked towards the door and grabbed my bag, "I am sorry I forgot about it," she handed it to me and looked at me.
"That is alright, as long as you try to make it up to the person, it is alright," I said giving her a hug," Now why don't you go find your cousin Magnus," I said shooing her away.
"Okie dokie, see you later Auntie Natalie," Annabeth ran off into manor, looking for a little boy, who she would have to help in a war.
"So do you want a weapon or not," I said rummaging your my bag and pulled out a four foot long, celestial bronze infused with silver katana from my bag and handed it to her.
"You just have that in your bag," she looked at me skeptically.
"Yea, special weapon, you can't find many weapons that can kill werewolves and monsters, but I don't know what kills wolves in your world but that does in ours," she swung it over her hand down towards the floor, it bit deep into the wooden floor, I knew I was right sharpen before we left.
"It feels great in my hands, all of Randolph's weapons are heavy or short in my hands, this just feels right," she pulled it from the floor, she had made a nice clean cut in the floor.
"Good, now here is its sheath and a sharping stone, with you causally let me pass to find my kid who is looking for yours, two powerful demigods together spells monster or wolves in your case," her face morphed into one of fear and she took off towards the staircase.
"I never said they were here yet, but they will probably be here soon and I need to set up traps and or summon friendly monsters to help me, I hate having to protect a new house," I started to pull ropes, bottles of indentured souls, and silver and bronze spikes.
After six hours of trap setting, bargaining, and killing liars and cheating souls, it was finally dinner time or at least for me. Leaf Erikson glared at me for making him swear to protect this house, but did not follow me.
"Kara stop playing in the snow and come inside dinner is starting and Auntie Natalie said to come get you," I heard Annabeth yell from the front yard, and I sprouted my wings so I could get there quicker.
I dropped down behind Annabeth, my wings disappearing, she didn't know about them yet.
"I am right here, Annabeth," I said picking her up from behind and spinning her around in the air.
"How did you get behind me with me knowing it," she wiggled out of my arms and landed on the ground, one of my feathers was beneath her right boot.
"I can tell you all my secrets or else they aren't my secrets anymore and then they are our secrets and some of my secrets are a little too dangerous for other people."
Like my heritage. I really not the daughter of all gods, more like the weird aunt.
Or, you know, my powers. Those have killed many people.
Or, maybe even, my death clock. I know when I am going to die, losers.
Wait an even better one, my past. That is a long road, we ain't gonna walk on today.
"Ok for now," oh thank mom," But it is dinnertime and I am hungry," she started to pull me towards the open door were Natalie held a small child in her arms, her katana strapped to her side, making her look deadly. Good, step one complete.
"Let us so go get you some food, and maybe some food for me," I said with a questioning look in my eyes.
"Of course you can have food, and don't worry if daddy or Uncle Randy look at you weirdly," gods I love this little angel, too smart for her on good, just like her mother.
"I do not care if your imaginary friend is hungry Annabeth, Randolph said no," Frederick said to Annabeth, who was about in tears, I will slap him in his sleep tonight.
"But, daddy, Kara was outside all day and looks really hungry," Annabeth tried to reason with him, but the man saw nothing but his own needs.
I waved my hand as Randolph walked in. I really didn't want to show myself to him, but with Annabeth almost in tears, I was willing to show the old man he had an extra guest. He surveyed the room, making sure everything was in its place.
When his eyes landed on me, he almost dropped the ham in his hands. Not the ham, you monster, drop the casserole but not the ham.
"Frederick, who is that," he pointed in my direction and I smiled a devilish smile at him for that.
"Oh, please don't tell me you are drunk and seeing Annabeth's imaginary friend, Kara," Frederick already looked down with the day. One thing, we could both agree on.
"You speak of the Kara, powerful and almighty greek deity, one who helps the unwanting, slayer of monster and enemies, first lesbian of Greece," I am not the first," and daughter of all gods," how do you know about me, most of my stories were not written down in books.
"No, Randolph, it is just Annabeth's stupid imaginary friend, who apparently needs to eat like an animal," he glared at Annabeth. Calm yourself you can get revenge later.
"Ah, later her make a plate for her imaginary friend, humor children when they are young because sometimes imaginary thing become real," he looked at me, a power hungry look in his eyes.
"Sure whatever Randolph, Annabeth you can fix 'Kara' a plate, but you have to eat everything you get for the both of you," he said handing her another plate, she placed it front of me and I gave her a quick hug.
"Since everyone is here let us begin the meal and thank gods of old for this meal," he looked straight at me the whole time, he said that. Suck up.
"So you are greek, also I didn't know you had a thing for girls," I was picking at my food, I don't like to talk about my love life.
"Yea, but I really don't walk to talk about it," I said looking Natalie across from me, Randolph and Frederick were going head to head on who was better Norse or Greek.
"Kara what is a lesbian," Annabeth said, looking up from her food.
"It means I like girls and not guys, Annie," I said, pushing the mashed potatoes towards the edge of my plate.
"So you don't like Magnus, how could you not like Magnus," she looked at me weirdly, she wasn't always that smart.
"No boys are fine especially Magnus, Annie, I just don't want to have sexual interactions with them I prefer girls," I was interrupted by Natalie.
"One of Artemis's hunters to be exact, or at least that is what the internet was to say about your relationships," she frowned when I looked down at my plate again.
"I was the reason that she became a hunter," I said quietly to her and took a bite of ham, ham makes everything better.
"Tell Auntie Natalie her name and when I can I meet her finally," Annabeth asked up from, she crawled into my lap and looked at me.
"Annabeth you met her when you were younger, and her name is Zoe Nightshade," I placed Annabeth back in her seat and took out a black and white photo of us in World War II. We were unhired bomber pilots for the United States. I can't fly a plane and she can't fire a machine gun, it strange now that I thought about it.
"She looks beautiful and dangerous, how did you two meet," she looked at the photo and then handed it back to me.
"She was a Hesperides and I was a young demigod told to stay away from the forest around it, I was fifteen she was a lot older," I said placing the photo back in my coat pocket.
"You like mature women, don't you," Natalie asked me, causing me to laugh.
"Oh….oh….you….think," I gasped for air," she is mature, you can think again," tears started to stream down my face, thinking of the stupid and funny hijinks we had done through the years. I sighed, we hadn't done much or seen each other much in a decade or two.
"Doing stupid and wacky things is one thing that keeps me sane and gives us time to talk and hang out," I said taking Annabeth and mine plate to the kitchen to clean them.
"Are you done with your plate, sweetheart," Natalie asked Magnus, strange I hadn't heard the kid talk at all.
I stopped and turned my head to look at him, he opened his mouth but once he saw I had stopped, he shut it. He just lifted his plate up to his mother and nodded, he was afraid of me. Annabeth slid over into Natalie's seat and proceed to make funny faces at Magnus, making him smile. I have to love that kid.
"So, does Annabeth know what you are," Natalie asked as she passed me another dish to dry.
"Yes, but not everything about me or her world, what does Magnus know," I said as I placed another plate in a cabinet.
"Oh, nothing and hopefully never will, but just incase I was looking at hiring some protectors," she said looking at me, oh no I wasn't available.
"I am sorry but neither Miranda or me are available, I have Annabeth and she has a future Valkyrie," I said placing the last plate into cabinet.
"Oh, well I know of an elf and a dwarf, Frey said to look at," she said drying her hands on my towel.
"That may be good," I said as we walked back into dining room.
Frederick and Randolph had taken the argument to Randolph's study and the kids ran off somewhere. I looked over at the wall clock and saw it was nine o'clock we must have had dinner at seven.
"I need to put Magnus to bed," she said before she enter the hall that led to the living room.
"Same, I look upstairs for them, you look down here," I said gliding over to the stairs.
I heard laughter from the library and decide to see what was in there. I walked quietly through rows and rows of old myth books and new research books. Something clattered to the ground and I stop. Peeking through the books, I saw them playing with Norse rune tiles, where had they gotten them from.
"I like your mother," Annabeth said placing the final tile on a small structure she had built.
"Who is your mommy," Magnus said trying to duplicate Annabeth's structure, but it all clattered to the ground.
"My mother is the Greek Goddess Athena and I never met her before," she said, a sad smile playing on her lips, I have always hated the gods for that.
"Oh, ok I was just wanting to know that the scary girl with purple eyes wasn't your mommy," he shivered at that statement, you're afraid of me because of your heritage, if you met Miranda you might like her.
"No, she is my big sister and she is not scary, just misunderstood, but don't worry a lot of people think that about her," Annabeth stole some tiles from Magnus's pile and started to add more to her structure, what was it.
"Do you miss your mommy, I know I would miss mine if she left me," he looked up, his grey eyes shone with curiosity, even I wanted to see what she was going to say.
"How could I miss someone I have never met, I know what she looks like, because Kara says that I look just her with blonde hair and the same brain, but how does she act, what is her personality, I want to meet my mother, but no I don't miss her" Annabeth pushed the structure down, a statue of Athena. Annabeth you will see Athena I swear on the River Styx.
"I am sorry, Annie-beth," he smile, tears sprung in Annabeth's eyes and I wanted to hug her.
"Don't call me Annie, only Kara calls me that when it is life lesson time," she was probably going to hate that nickname when she was older.
I decided to 'walk in' before she got angry at Magnus.
"Annabeth, Magnus are you up here," I called from my hiding place," It is your guys' bedtime."
Annabeth looked at Magnus and put a finger to her lips, that sly dog, trying to get out of bedtime, well two can play at that game.
"Well I guess no bedtime story tonight then, I am just going to go lay down and fall asleep without telling a bedtime story," I said walking out of the library.
"Wait, no Kara, we are here," Annabeth yelled and ran towards me. I scooped her up and ran to get Magnus. When I picked him up, he looked like he had seen a ghost.
I ran down the stair with them under my arms, Annabeth giggling like a madwoman causing Magnus to laugh, too.
"Natalie, I found two large, laughing bags of money want to split them," I yelled through the manor not knowing where she was.
I heard laughing behind me and spun around to see her running down the hall.
"Sure, I would love to share the money with you," I lifted the kids like I was weighting which one was more and then handed her the lighter one, her son.
"Take this one and make sure you keep it in your sight, now I am going to take mine and hide it in a dark room," I said running back upstairs with Annabeth on my back, laughing.
Hey guys that was part two, there is going to me a part three so stay tuned.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW. I would love you if you would.
Godeleus out.
