They have been travelling for a week now, and they didn't heard anything from Elveril nor Artemis. Percy had closed himself, no emotion showing on his face apart sadness.
They were near the Amazon's Head Quarters. Tired, the Stolls informed the Fighters they would rest there. All the fighter sighed and nodded. They walked in the streets and stopped before the factory. They looked at each other, apprehension taking them. They all knew the reputation of the Amazons and didn't want to be there slaves. Percy took a deep breath and removed all emotions from his face. He uncapped both swords and put them crossed on his back.
The Fighters understood the idea. They had to look professional and intimidating. So Dan and Troy took they black and golden bow, and put they on their back too. Ryan summoned his black claymore and kept it in hand, the flat of the blade on his shoulder. Anthony made his wand twirl in his hand and willed magic to appear, making white purplish rues spin lazily around him. Finally, Shay summoned his spear from a shadow and put it behind his neck, a hand on each side of the weapon, he also changed his appearance for his combat aspect and grinned, showing his sharp fangs.
Then, the group walked in, confidence rolling of them in waves. Percy walked to the reception.
"Hello. My friend and I would like to see your queen. Is she still Hylla Ramirez-Arellano?" The receptionist frowned and unsheathed an imperial gold dagger and tried to put it at his throat. But Percy grabbed her wrist and slammed it on the counter. The other members of the Fighters walked to him and her eyes widened. She prepared to scream but Ryan knocked her unconscious with a hard hit on th head. Everyone eyed him and he took an offended look.
"What? She was about to alert everyone!" Percy sighed and began to walk.
"Come on everyone, I know were the throne room is." They arrived there without any difficulties, much to Percy's surprise. But he shrugged it off and kicked the doors open.
"Hello Queen Hylla! It's been a while. Last time was on the Field of Mars I think. Right?" Hylla, who was reading on her tablet, looked up startled and saw the group, led by Percy. She was about to great him when her guards surrounded them. Percy looked at them coldly.
"I will give you one advice. Put those toothpicks away. I'm not in a good mood at all. If you don't, I will answer back. And believe me. It won't be pretty." Travis put a hand on Percy's shoulder.
"Hmmm. Bro. I know you're the lieutenant and all that but I personally don't think it's a good idea to execute the whole personal guard just because you're in a bad moon." Connor nodded fast.
Anthony raised his wand and runes glowed brightly around it and he spoke in greek.
"Melt on my will" The weapons of the guards heated up and soon were reduced to puddle. They all stood there, shocked. Percy unsheathed his swords and made them spin.
"All right. I think it's time for a clear explanation. My name is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, Hero of Olympus twice and Honorary Praetor of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata. And this is my elite group of fighters. We are under the command of Apollo and Hades. Now, we're not here to fight you. We just need a shelter for a while. We will work in the area for a bit, so we thought to ask you for your hospitality Queen Hylla." Hylla smiled a bit, she wanted to tease him.
"Tell me a reason of why I should accept? After all, you knocked out my guard and profaned false threats." Percy smiled wickedly.
"The nice reason? We're friends. The scary one? If you don't, I will tear the building to the ground. Do you think a simple shed will resist? Before you answer, remember that I put Mother Earth on her knees with my powers." Cheekily answer Percy. His tridents became more luminous. Hylla gulped difficultly and took a deep breath.
"Of course. I am always glad to receive in my home a dear friend of mine." Percy smiled and capped his swords and wiled his armors in cloths.
"Thanks Hylla. Now, the sun is still high in the sky, so I think we will go and save so poor endangered demigods." Hylla nodded but then, her eyes widened. Percy tensed and spun, raising his ice arm. It stopped a sword wielded by Annabeth. Percy growled.
"What are you doing here? Elv isn't here." Annabeth took a superior face.
"I'm teaching you a lesson. I'm pissed that you are getting more and more powers and rejecting me. And then you go for that maiden goddess. I should take care of her to teach her a lesson often she stole my man." Percy frowned. And he felt anger slowly rising in him. He didn't know why. After all, she cheated on him with Orion, so he shouldn't feel that. But he felt it anyway. So he kicked Annabeth away. He cracked his neck and took off his blazer and shirt before giving it to Anthony. And the Amazons saw for the first time that his right arm was entirely made of ice. He concentrated a bit and his arm changed, looking more bestial, like he had the crossing between a human and a predatory arm. His fingertips sharp as razors, on his elbow was what looked like a thorn, his general form was more muscled like. Percy glared at her.
"You are truly beginning to be annoying. Maybe I should be the one teaching you a lesson." He walked to her and slashed her chest, ichor dripped from the wounds and his claws. She cried in pain. Percy sighed.
"You can't stand this pain? But it is only the beginning my dear. After all, as you said to me…" He bended and whispered in her ear.
"I am a monster." He punched her and she landed against a wall, cracking it in the process. She raised her hand and sent a blast of energy to him. He couldn't stop it and flew away. He land with a groan and rose on his feet.
"I hate when you godling do that." He slowed his breath pattern and took another stance. She tried again to blast him, but he leaned back. The ray only burned a lock of his hair. He grinned and took out an ipod from his pocket.
"You know what? I want to have fun. Hylla, launch that music!" He threw the device and when she plugged it in a dock, Funky boogie by John Ozilla rang in the room. And Percy began to dodge the attacks of the goddess while dancing on the disco music. Shay, who was looking at the scene with an incredulous look on his face, began to chuckle and then burst out laughing at the sight of Perseus Jackson, the Savior of Olympus and full ninja, dancing on a disco music in the middle of a fight. The more Percy was dodging, the more Shay was laughing, and the more Annabeth raged. Until a point that she attacked Shay who barely dodged.
He was shocked, his eyes wide and fixing the black spot on the wall where his head previously was. He turned to the goddess.
"Don't attack me! I didn't do anything! Not my fault if Percy can wipe the floor with you while dancing disco okay!" Annabeth attacked again but with a flick of Shay's wrist, a spear of shadow destroyed the beam. He walked slowly to her, each step making a low, innerving stomp. He pointed the goddess with his spear and sighed.
"I really don't like to fight. Please stop this nonsense. Percy is playing with you and I'm the son of Erebus. Do you think you stand a chance?" Annabeth gritted her teeth and flashed away. Shay threw the spear in a shadow and leaned against a wall.
"So. What do we do now boss?" Asked Troy as he looked at a package containing a bow.
"Don't call me boss. I hate that. I think we should go around camp Jupiter. From what I know, there is demigods trying to find the Wolf House." The troops nodded and walked out of the building.
When Elveril woke up, he was in a house. At least, that is what he could tell. After all, he was lying in a comfortable bed. He sat up and looked around hmi. On a desk were his guns and magazines along with his armor/clothes. He looked at himself and saw that he was in simple underwear. He frowned.
"I don't recall meeting Khione last… Oh. I passed out in Hestia's arms. Right." Muttered the protector. He jumped out of bed and put his clothes and guns on before leaving the room. He walked down the stairs and arrived in a beautiful and cozy living room. He saw a heart and outstretched his hand. He shot a small amount of flame in it to rekindle the flame.
"Thank you Elverilae." Said a feminine and young voice behind him. He faced the voice, pointing his guns before sighing and relaxing. It was Hestia.
"Sorry my Lady. I'm used to be on my guards. How are you?" Asked the artifact. Hestia smiled a bit.
"I am good thank you. And don't worry, I understand. Now. Are you hungry?" Elveril nodded and Hestia smiled warmly.
After a breakfast and small talks, Elveril got up and bowed to Hestia.
"I wish I could stay longer my Lady but I need to see Lady Khione. I am in need of guidance." Hestia smiled and nodded. She waved her hand and teleported her creation to the castle of the snow goddess. He faced the large ice doors and knocked. The same hyperborean as before opened.
"Who shall I announce?" He asked in a gruffly voice. Elveril bowed his head.
"Elverilae Réng." The giant nodded and let him in before leading him to the throne room. When they entered, they were met with the annoyed voice of Khione.
"Who comes and disturb my peace?" Elveril smirked.
"Elverilae Réng, Protector of the House of Hestia." Khione's head raised suddenly and she smiled. She ran to him and hugged him tightly before kissing him.
"I missed you! How are you? What are you doing here?" Elveril smiled and hold her close.
"I came here because I need advices, and I immediately thought of you." Khione smiled sweetly and pecked him, making him smile. He then frowned and tensed. He looked around and flashed in his ninjato.
"I felt a god, he just entered the palace."
Tell me what you think of it guys. I wasn't too sure of myself. I don't know why. Even if I thought hard, nothing better came. I guess there is times like that. Anyway. Review! And see ya'll next time!
