Hey guys okay sorry it took so long but my exams are finally over!
Okay here it is...
Chapter 14:
Triton's POV (A/N bet you weren't expecting that!)
I was training in my dad's palace, my mother was watching me. We were wondering where father went to when there was a flash behind me, there stood my Father, Zeus and Hades, which was rather strange see them all in the same place, not arguing and not on the winter solstice.
"Father?" I asked,
He looked at me and narrowed his eyes, "do you know of a girl named Lucillia?"
I remembered her she was that one girl who refused me, me? A son of Poseidon. I nodded.
My father scowled, as did the other big three, and I would be lying if I said I didn't cower under their glares.
"What?"
"You brought disgrace to the gods doing that." My father said, "next time when you have a wife in mind, try to actually figure out who she is. You, my son,-" he spat the word 'son' as if it were a curse, "distracted, humiliated and practically threw yourself onto the daughter of Chaos!"
I gulped, Chaos, oh shit! I am in so much trouble...
"Indeed, also doing this you got Lucillia's lover killed, because you distracted her as well as nearly getting Piper McLean and one of my daughters killed as well!" Zeus boomed,
My father sighed, "why can't you be more like Perseus?" He mumbled, then suddenly the palace shook,
"Poseidon!" A female voice boomed, it was commanding, strict and somewhat angry, then Lucillia, the woman I had tried to impress appeared in the palace breathing in the water like any of us, looking exactly like she had so many years ago, she wore a slightly odd sheaf of armour that made her look damn sexy. The bid three slightly shook in minor fear and bowed to her, my mother and I widened our eyes and followed in suit.
"Yes, Lucillia?" My father asked shakily,
Lucillia seemed to stretch a smile, "no need, Poseidon, it is not you who should fear me." Then she sent a warning glare at me, and I cowered under her stare, now easily sensing her power which she had somehow hidden from me all those years ago.
My father gave a respectful nod, it was so odd seeing him like this, he lead not followed,
"I sense my sister in these waters. I respect you therefore I cannot take control of this mighty ocean and find her myself, I ask you the favour of pointing me in the right direction." She said formally
My father seemed rather stunned and didn't say anything,
"Do not be so surprised, I do not lie, neither do I stutter, I especially do not hold too much pride to not ask for help, no one can do everything alone, even the gods. That is why pride is a weakness, My Lords, do well to learn that."
My father nodded and seemed to feel the tides energy, I myself picked up a powerful source in the water, round about in the Atlantic Ocean.
"She's swimming at high speed towards us, she's near the centre of the Atlantic Ocean." My father told her,
"Thank you, Poseidon, and it wouldn't hurt to have young Perseus teach your other son a few manners, perhaps even the decency to look at a women's face when she's talking and not any other part of her body." She snarled looking at me, I caught myself and looked to the ground not daring to look at her. With that she left the palace in search for her sister.
"Well it seems, Triton," my mother started, "that you need to learn some manners on how to treat a woman..."
Sophia's POV
The Sea calmed me as I swam further and further into it's depth. It calmed me as much as Lucy's hand on my shoulder or Oberon's soft hands caressing any part of my body. But it didn't take away the longing for either of my loved ones, I knew which way to go to certain places, but I didn't know where my sister would be now.
'Sister! Where are you?' My head exploded and I clutched it in pain,
"Right here." I mumbled,
'Thank the gods, I am not far, Sister, keep going...'
I swam forwards still at an incredible speed and found Lucy within minutes.
"Are you okay?" She asked,
I nodded, "I'm fine"
She sighed out of relief and lead me in the direction she wanted me to go. After about twenty minutes we had found a ship in the water,
"What is this?"
"The Demi-gods Argo II."
I looked at her oddly but she waved it off and swam to the surface. When we broke from the water we manipulated the sea to rise us up on a bed of water, then we stepped onto the deck. It was a well designed Ship, the architecture was indeed brilliant. I then saw the Sparks and seven Demi-gods all of which I recognised including Leo. My eyes widened and I turned to Lucy. She smiled, a real smile I hadn't seen in years, and nodded. I returned her smile, happy that we still had a descendant of Lucy's sister.
"Hello young ones, I'm Sophia."
"We know." Percy smirked, I swallowed a lump in my throat and didn't dare look at him, it shattered my heart that he looked so much like Oberon, his complexion, hair, everything except his eyes and Oberon was only a tad bit more ripped, but it still hurt. He even had the same smile.
Percy seemed confused by my actions but waved it off then put his arm around Annabeth, without realising it Annabeth was thinking too much about Percy and her Mark on her shoulder appeared,
It seems I'm not the only one with the love 'Mark.'
I quickly tapped my neck at her to tell her and she hastily looked at the Mark, but didn't seem to know what to do. While everyone was talking to Lucy I dashed to Annabeth.
"When you think of Percy the Mark appears, to hide it just imagine it glittering." I whispered, the Mark instantly disappeared and Annabeth smiled thankfully at me.
"Annabeth?" Leo asked, "which gift did you choose for your Mark?" he asked
Annabeth seemed to be thinking for a moment, "I don't know."
"Ah, yes I should have told you about that." Lucy started, "when you have picked your gift, simply but your hand to the Mark-"
I secretly tapped my neck, telling her it was that part of the Mark.
"-and whisper the gift. The gift will work in the way you imagine it to work. At this time the Mark of Athena will take full effect."
Annabeth cocked her head, "hasn't it already taken full effect?"
"Not exactly..." I said, I remembered the day I woke up from the Mark. And I swear to the gods it had looked like I had been blessed by Aphrodite, because I knew for a fact I had not looked like that the day before.
The Demi-gods seemed curious about my remark, but they all waved it off. Lucy looked pointedly at the Sparks and asked why they were here.
"We thought the Demi-gods might need protection with you being so far away." Megan started,
"And gods know how many monsters these guys can attract." Sarah added then the boat started shaking as I felt something in the water charging at it.
"You just had to Jinx it didn't you?" Jinx asked,
"Look who's talking, Jinx!" The twins shouted simultaneously...
Percy's POV
A hideous monster emerged from the water. The water coated her and fell off her like giant waterfalls. Only her top half was actually out if the water and she was still taller than the Argo. I had a horrible suspicion her feet were actually touching the bottom of the ocean... Her skin was a sickly, seaweed green as if she was about to be sick, her forearms and torso were made of scales, but the rest of her body just looked plain clammy and normal...well apart from being green. By looks of it dead - or maybe live - giant squids covered her chest, which I was thankful for, and a crown of sloppy seaweed covered her head, which looked like it had been made by a five year old. Her hair itself looked made of seaweed, but blue, her eyes were an icy blue mixed with vomit green and her lips spread all along her face, bright red and puffy, far too big for her face. From what I could see her bottom half was probably a tail as I saw just before the rest of her body went into the ocean scales started to form.
"Ceto!" Sophia shouted,
I froze, "as in the goddess of the sea, the mother of all sea monsters? Including the gorgons?"
"Loves nothing better than a good shipwreck?" Jason added helpfully,
"No. Ceto as in the mother of seaweed, starfish and friendly dolphins who just happens to look like a monster. Nothing to fear!" Jinx said her voice dripping with sarcasm on each word.
"How do we beat her?" Leo shouted over the waves crashing over the boat,
"She's a god we can't kill her! Leo, her enemy is fire work together with Millie and Megan! Percy, Sarah distract her with the power of the sea so Leo, Megan and Millie can get a good aim! Everyone else try to aim at her head or heart. Jinx, Sophia try to call Mary, she may be able to find her weakness!"
I had no idea how Sarah could control the sea but then I remembered her soulmate was Destan and Lucy had given all her Soldiers the final gift of the Mark if they wished it. My thoughts were confirmed when grey wings extended from Sarah's back and she flew into the sky and the sea crashed against Ceto's scaly hands as she tried to grip the ship to crush it. I followed suit and willed the water to encircle her. The waves obeyed and I mimicked a hand from the waves that continuously slapped Ceto against the face, which I could tell she defiantly didn't like! I heard Annabeth giggle as she and everyone else shot arrows aimed mainly at Ceto's head. They all bounced off her scaly armour or were batted away by her arm. One of Lucy's golden arrows managed to hit her in the eye and Ceto let out a roar of anger as she clutched the tiny arrow in her socket, only succeeding in sinking it further into her eye. Quickly while she was distracted Leo threw a, quickly made, bomb at her that exploded in the middle of her chest, sparks erupted from the bomb jumping all over her body, making a cracking sound like fireworks going off. Ceto roared even louder and stumbled slightly backwards. I continued to slap her with the waves, which managed to spin her around and crash into the water, making a humongous wave in the process. She managed to get up but Leo continually threw fire balls at her already scared and burnt chest, while sparks erupted from the flame like before. I think this had something to do with Megan's soulmate being a son of Hecate...
Millie suddenly flew into the sky on dove White wings that were tinted hot pink at the edges of each feather. I wondered how she got the blessing if she never announced having a soulmate. She circled Ceto's head trying to confuse her. I wondered how she didn't get seriously dizzy or sick, but she seemed fine. She suddenly shouted to Leo,
"Leo, feed me a fire ball!" Leo threw her a ball of fire from his palm and Millie caught it still circling Ceto's head and somehow managed to manipulate the flame to make it speed all across Ceto's body as she threw it on top of her head. Honestly I had no idea how Ceto was still alive but she was, and I was getting exhausted. Suddenly the waved got a new strength from an unknown source and the sea started to cover Ceto's body. She tried to resist and it looked like an even battle, I started helping the source feeding the waves my power as I made the water cover Ceto's body having no idea what the person was trying to do. I felt Sarah help me and then I found they started to try and freeze the sort of layer of skin around her. I froze the water, but then found myself clueless on what to do next. Ceto's body was frozen in place, vulnerable.
"Leo, Megan, Millie make an arrow if fire!" Jinx shouted. Out of nowhere a giant arrow made of white hot fire, as if it had been moulded out of the sun itself, shot towards Ceto and pierced her chest. Jinx started mumbling a weird incantation, "Ισχύς εδώ και πολύ καιρό κρυφό. Συμπληρώστε την ατμόσφαιρα. Πάρτε μακριά την καταραμένη ψυχή σε καταδίκη.Τεμαχίστε την ουσία της. Απορρίψτε την αθανασία της. Θάνατος! Αθανασία! Αγάπη! Αυτή η τελετουργία είναι mpossible να σπάσει! Φέρνω Θάνατος στην ψυχή σας! Το πρώτο βήμα της τελετουργίας μας! Μαραζώσει ανεπιθύμητα πλάσματα!" Jinx said the Greek incantation so fast I only caught words of what she said like: Power, damnation, essence, Immortality, death, ritual, soul and fade. But once the last word escaped her lips the flaming arrow pierced through her chest spread through her body, her body cracked with flames and her essence burst and disappeared before her image flickered away...I'm guessing forever.
Then a girl strode across the ocean, and I mean straight over the ocean...like walking over it. She jumped into the Argo, she had long black curly hair, a nice tan, but what caught me most was her sea green eyes...
"Mary."
There it is guys hope you like it, if your wondering what the incantation was it said this, but no one knows that okay: 'Power has long been hidden. Fill in the atmosphere. Take away the soul cursed into damnation. Chop the essence. Dispose of immortality. Death! Immortality! Love! This ritual is impossible to break! I bring Death to your soul! The first step to our ritual! Fade away unwanted creature!'
