OMIGOD GUYS! 102 REVIEWS? YOU PEOPLE ARE AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND STICKING WITH ME AND MY CRAZINESS!
Btw, sorry this is so late. ;P PandaBearSoul originally pestered me to update this on her birthday, buuut... I kind of forgot. *whistles innocently* So. Yeah. Well, um, hehehe... here you go? ^^;
Oh yeah, Ride drops a bad word at the end here. Not sure if you count it as a TERRIBLE word, it was in the Avengers, but... XD
PandaBearSoul: Aww, I guess this means no Starbucks trips... T^T ;)
Metal Flowers: Sorry! D: I'm not much of a Greek geek (lol), so I don't know these kinds of details... ^.^; Hehe. Well, I'm too lazy to edit it, so I'll just stop referring to her as a minor goddess. I'm a ninja by luck and awesomeness. (And practice.) I'm German/Austrian/Russian/American, so... not Asian. D: But thanks for reviewing! Again!
VilaDeath: She's based off of me... :)

Wings of a Goddess
"Alright," Nyx continued pleasantly. "Here's your first errand: Go find my sister, Eos, goddess of the dawn. She's been missing for some time, and I'm getting worried. I'll give you a little something to help you locate her. You up to the task?"
"Remind me why we're doing this again?" Iggy muttered.
I whacked him around the head. "Because it's part of your quest. Sort of. I have nothing better to do, so I'm dragging you eight along with me." Then, faking my best 'angel-innocent' smile, I continued, "Besides, you guys owe me a favor."
"We do?" Fang scoffed.
"Yes," I glared at him. "Those weapons? You'd be dead now without them. And I made them for you. Welllll... technically I'm honor-bound to save you if you're near death and I'm standing right there, but still. Now you can save your own worthless asses!"
"Thanks... not," Fang rolled his eyes.
Damn. He's getting used to me. This is getting to be less fun...
"We accept, Nyx," I responded to the goddess before us formally. "Thank you."
She smiled. (Slightly sadistically.) "Oh, it's no problem. I'll record their suffering on tape and invite you over some time."
I grinned. I liked her already. "Sounds like fun! We're off."
I took off, the flock following (and looking a little horrified), while Percy and Annabeth prodded their hippocampi and tailed us.
"Our... suffering?" Gazzy gulped.
I laughed. "Of course! It builds character."
"No it doesn't..." he whimpered.
Again, more laughter. We soared through the air, me doing flips and enjoying the feel of the wind in my face. It took us a while, but according to Nyx's instructions, we were just supposed to follow the rising sun. So that's what we did. As the sky lightened and the sun came up, strange wind patterns began to buffet us as we continued on our merry way.
"What's with this wind?" Nudge yelled up to me.
"No idea!" I hollered back.
It got worse and worse, and before long the hippocampi had ditched us for the sea below and Fang, Iggy, Gazzy, and I were degraded to the humiliating task of pulling Percy and Annabeth's chariot. In fact, I voiced my thoughts almost exactly in this way. "This is absolutely degrading!" I shouted back to Percy and Annabeth. Annabeth laughed, and Percy looked unsure whether or not to laugh at a god. Good for him.
"I still think this is pointless," Iggy commented loudly in my ear.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, well, get used to it. A lot of the things I'm gonna make you do are pointless."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" he shot back cockily. I didn't even grace that with an answer.
"So who is this 'Eos' we're looking for?" Nudge asked Annabeth, raising her voice above the wind and looking back, wobbling in the air as she adjusted for the strange currents of air.
Annabeth pursed her lips and thought a moment. "I'm not entirely sure," she yelled, "pretty much all I know is that she's the goddess of the dawn, while her sister Nyx is goddess of the night. According to legend she's a little testy, which probably accounts for the fact that Nyx told Ride she'd record our suffering..."
"Yeah, don't remind me," Nudge groaned, and I had to suppress one of my best cackles.
After a while of riding the stormy waves of wind, it got a little tiring, and I shifted my grip on the golden rope I was holding to pull the chariot along. We'd managed to rig up three more, one for each of us that was pulling, and Angel was flying tail. Nudge was flying point, trying to lead us through the fog and clump of clouds that was setting in. So far it wasn't going very smoothly. (Pardon the pun.)
"Count off!" I half-screamed, trying to make sure I was heard.
"Fang."
"Gazzy~!"
"Nudge~!"
"Iggy!"
Annabeth and Percy glanced at each other, then followed suit.
"Percy!"
"Annabeth!"
"You're doing it all out of order," I informed the flock, scowling slightly. "Have you forgotten in the short time I was gone?"
"And have you forgotten how to count?" Gazzy screamed back.
I froze. Not literally, that would send us plummeting. Oh crap. Angel.
"Angel?!"
We all turned to look, almost sending us into the quickly whipped-up ocean below. No sign of the blonde girl. "We have to go back!" Gazzy pleaded. For a moment, I hesitated indecisively, then scanned the waves with my super-vision.
...
"Right. Iggy, Nudge, keep the chariot up. Fang, Gazzy, with me."
All four flock members nodded, and, oblivious to the indignant cries from Percy and Annabeth, we dived through the tempest and hurtled towards the ocean. Of course, our dramatic scene was ruined when Percy went flying by us on collision course with the waves, saluting and grinning on his way down.
I rolled my eyes and muttered, knowing no-one else could hear me,
"That son of a bitch."
Next update: ?
Who knows. /: See ya next time~!
