Chapter 51: Step 2
I am so sorry for not updating regularly like I promised but my internet died on me and i couldn't use it for a while. Therefore, I couldn't publish any chapter. But know that I am back I will try to update as fast as I can. By the way, the half a year anniversary of this story was the 25 of December. Yep, in Christmas! Anyway, let's go with the chapter. The step of the plan will take place in this chapter. POV will change quickly. Also, because I wanted to divide the steps in separate chapters this chapter will be very short. However, I will try to update the next chapter as quickly as possible and it will be longer than this one.
I don't own any of this except for the plotline.
Read, enjoy, and review!
Percy's POV
The Greek kings and the elite soldiers followed Rachel and me to the main gate. We left the camp and after we reached a place big enough for our magical performance we told the others to stop walking. Then Rachel and I walked a little further to separate from the others.
"Are you ready Rachel?" I asked her mentally.
"Yeah," She said.
"Then, let's get this over with," I said while we entwine our minds again to fuel the next spell.
Rachel's POV
Here we go again. The sensation of our minds fusing to make the spell easier was emerging once more. The last time it felt so odd. I know that I am connected to Percy's mind but this… this was so new to me. The feeling was more intense than anything I had ever dreamed of. Our minds were entwined with a bond that couldn't be broken. They were closer than ever.
I was aware of everything. Of every movement Percy made. Of every breath he drew in and out. I could even hear the beatings of his heart.
I shook my head. Maybe our minds had never been closer but this was such a new experience to me that I just didn't know if I should feel scared or joyous. It just felt different from anything I had ever felt.
Then I started to focus on the spell. I still had about half of my reserves for spell use only and with our minds merging as one this spell wasn't too hard. Soon enough, a section of the plains was covered with the illusion of dead bodies. When we created about one hundred illusions, we stopped the flow of magic.
The kings and soldiers gasped when they saw all the illusions of dead people in the ground. They looked so real. Besides, none of the faces looked the same.
"Very impressive demigod," Menelaus said to me.
The others said similar stuff.
Well, we still have step three to finish. That, and something extra.
Yes, I know it is short but I promise that the next one will be longer. I hope you enjoyed this chapter even if it was very short.
Review!
