July 15th 2011 7:46 AM: Dad unplugged the computers internet cord a few nights ago and I'm hoping that he plugs it back in later today. If you are reading this on the 15th than he did! Jenny Nimmo has a new book by the way! It's by "Paton Yewbeam" with help from "Charlie Bone". It's so good so far. The main protagonist's sister reminds me of myself.
Disclaimer: I do not own Charlie Bone or Percy Jackson no matter how many stars I wish upon. (Nor do I own a Pegasus but I want Blackjack.)
Pegs of What?
Percy Jackson was a peculiar kid and not peculiar like the endowed, peculiar like… he radiated power… but he still didn't seem to have any magical talents.
There was a thunder storm on Thursday, night two weeks after Ivie had left.
It wasn't natural and yet Tancred swore he had nothing to do with it.
Now would be a good time to come in with Percy's peculiarities again: he was jittery and anxious with the storm and winced on every strike of lightning as though afraid the storm would suck him up and zap him with lightning.
Charlie was intrigued by the storm, because like I said—it wasn't natural.
"Charlie?" on final run Percy came up behind Charlie.
Charlie jumped and whirled around.
"Oh… yeah?"
"Have you noticed the storm?"
"Um… yes… how could I not?"
"Well… I mean have you noticed how it's… different?"
"Yes, and I've also noticed that you seem anxious about it…"
"Well… can you keep a secret?"
"Of course."
"My dad… my dad's a Greek god… he's Poseidon, the sea god and well he used to have fights with Zeus—the sky good and king of the gods—but they haven't happened in a few years and… well when those fights happened this is what the weather was like… I'm worried that they're fighting again… do you know how to get to the sea from here? Or are we trapped until tomorrow? If we can avoid being seen I can provide transportation…"
"Okay… um… how?"
"Pegasi."
"Pegs of what?"
"Pegasi… it's plural for Pegasus..."
Charlie's face was blank.
"PEGASUS, WINGED HORSES THAT FLY AND YOU SEE PRINCESSES RIDE THEM ON BARBIE!"
There were stares and a few sniggers in our direction.
"Oh… those…" I murmured stepping into the ruin with Percy in tow.
When they got pretty deep into the ruin Charlie stopped and suddenly two winged horses flew down.
One was black and the other white.
'Yo, boss, I brought Porkpie with me since you called this morning. Wow you wouldn't believe how hard it is to fly from camp to this England place.'
Charlie gaped.
"They… you… you have flying horses…"
'Peg-uh-sigh' grunted Blackjack.
Charlie didn't hear that of course.
"Come on, Charlie." Percy climbed onto Blackjack and Charlie fearfully climbed onto Porkpie.
Then they were flying.
Word Count: 388
So I decided it was high time I brought Percy a spotlight.
When Ivie's home I'm doing 39clues.
It might have to be in book 2 though… this is book one. Book 2 Ivie will (hopefully) return and the clues and serums will begin to show themselves.
Then Harry Potter.
I might even bring in one of Nimmo's other books.
