I ran after Rick, cornering him in a dark alley, "If you don't say it, I won't kill you, I won't torture you, and I won't even touch your family. I will make you watch the PJO movies." His eyes widened in fear, "Please have mercy!"
I held up the two dvds, "Then say it"
"Anything you don't recognize belongs to Trap Dragon. I owe everything you guys recognize and all rights go to me. Now please let me go" I tapped his shoulder, "Now was that so hard" and walk off
I woke up after 2 hours of sleep, as always. Now I understand Why I only need 2 hours of sleep. The moon speeds up my sleep cycle. I got up, got dressed in my purple and orange hybrid t-shirt, black jeans, and silver camo combat boots, and left the cabin to find something to do for the next 7 hours. The cleaning harpies left me alone. Good thing I decide to let Chiron know of my sleep cycle.
I was walking around till I found myself upon a cabin that could be home to future astronauts and astrologists. It was painted in the image of the starry sky. It had planet engravings on the roof along with Zodiac carvings on the walls. What struck me odd was that that there were lights on, signaling that people were awake in there.
I walked up to the door and knocked. 6 seconds later, a girl, a very cute one at that, just as cute as Alex, opened the door. She has midnight blue eyes with multi-colored specks, onyx black hair with sparkling white dots spread throughout that went to the middle of her back, caramel-colored skin, and, probably the most amazing, wings of midnight blue with multi-colored dots, imaging the sparkling starry sky. She smells like chocolate and cherries. She was wearing a neon orange hoodie with neon pink sweatpants. I heard an anime playing. I smiled. I was definitely going to get along with her. She's into anime and i
"Oh, it's you. Um...C-can I h-h-help y-you?" stuttered the cute astronomical glow stick. I, still smiling, asked, "What cabin is this?"
"Oh, Astraeus, Titan of..." She answered. "Stars, Planets, Dusk, Winds, and Astrology" I finished for her. She nodded, "S-so, um, not to b-b rude, b-but w-what are you d-doing here?" She stuttered.
"That explains a lot," I said, looking at her hair and eyes. "What?" She asked.
I grinned, "Why this place looks like a den for future astrologist and astronauts. And why your eyes and hair sparkle and shine like diamonds"
She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, wings flapping a little, her face flushed, "Th-thank y-you. But what are y-you d-doing here?" She asked.
I clapped my hands together, and declared, "So I've decided. You and I are going to be Nocturnal Nighters!"
She was confused, "U-um, Nocturnal nighters? W-what are t-those?"
"Think about it. We're both nocturnal-based demigods whose powers give us a short sleep cycle. Instead of being alone, why not hang out together for the next 7 hours from now on?" I said. She thought for a moment, "I honestly don't m-m-mind, but C-camp rules state you have to s-sleep in your own c-c-cabin"
I raised an eyebrow, "But weren't not sleeping. And a cute glow stick like yourself should be honored to spend time with Kynigós Fengarión Blackstone, The Silver Shining Sexy Beast!" huffing in mock arrogance, but giving it away with a grin.
"Um...A-are you f-f-flirting with me? Also how old a-are you?" Asked the glowstick suspiciously. I chuckled, "I'm 12, yes I know, pretty tall for one, and I'm just giving compliments to those who deserve it, but maybe a little bit. Also, since I just told you my name and age, why not tell me yours?"
(A/N: Shoutout to the Starbeam named rAnd0mStUff052, You overactive moonbeam of happiness!)
"Miu. Miu M-moon Astral. I'm 13. Um...y-you can c-come in, but only b-b-because I feel like y-you won't go a-away if I say no," She stuttered. I put both hands on my chest, "You know me so well", in a sappy tone, still smirking.
She let me in. The inside was full of posters of different stars, constellations, and planets on the walls. There was a telescope clearly connected to the outside. "Nice place!" I said. It was very sparkly. I turned to her, "Where did you get the wings?"
She looked down, "D-dad's the T-titan of W-winds, so his kids get wings"
I unsheathed mine with a shink, grinning. My wingspan is 22 feet, so I don't really bring them out unless it's in an open space.
(A/N: Nike and Nemesis are his ancestors and have wings (In the myths, Nemesis has wings). He discovered them when taking down those 5 monsters he killed with Gale. There silver because his mom's blood)
They're silver with deadly, but soft feathers, "Looks like we're siblings of the feather who hang together" I said, grinning. Her shocked face was priceless, "Oh, that's c-cool. Mines a-are always o-out"
I got down to business, "So I hear Black Clover playing. The question is why are we still talking and not watching it?"
She smiled, her eyes sparkling with glee, "I don't know. Let's fix that"
"Wow", I said, entranced. "Wh-what?" stuttered Miu. I grinned, "I stand by what I said earlier, your eyes are fucking amazing" while walking past her. Asta just kicked the Beast Magic User's ass. There was someone else asleep in the cabin, but their face was turned. I got comfortable on the couch, Miu joining me soon after with an embarrassed face.
We watched Black Clover for the next 7 hours until the breakfast horned sounded. I got up, "Well, it's been fun Hanging out with you. See you later, since we'll be doing this every night", walking out. It was daytime, weakening me, but I'm fine since my body absorbs tons of moonlight at night for daytime use.
As I was walking, Jason buzzed, I wanna see my son. I chuckled, pulling him off my neck, a flash of light signaling he's been summoned. He zoomed off to where ever Tristan was.
I reached the dining pavilion, some campers already at their respective tables. A lot looked up when they saw me, as I went to my mom's table, joining Dad, as he was already there. They probably never thought two dudes would ever be allowed to sit at my mom's table, the man-hating goddess that leads a group of man-haters. Dad smiled, "You weren't in your room, boy. Your moms was worried sick"
I smirked, "You know me, Dad. I'm out here charming the ladies since I'm the sexiest creature alive!"
"Really? Then the 'sexiest creature alive' is grounded for scaring the Hades out of me!" Said Mom, in her 23-year-old form as she walked up with her hunters, smacking me upside the head, earning a yelp from me. I rubbed the back of my head, whining, "Mom, come on! I was just hanging out with a friend since I only sleep for 2 hours or less depending on what phase the moon is on. She's like me, nocturnal-based demigod, well titan, who has a short sleep cycle"
Her Hunters were sitting down at her table, watching the exchange. Mom raised an eyebrow, "She?"
I nodded, "Yep. Miu Moon Astral, Daughter of Astraeus/Astraois, She's Roman and Greek, like me and Gale"
She grabbed my ear, "And just what were you doing for the past 7 hours with a daughter of a Titan?!" said mom in a scary, dark, menacing voice. I grunted, "Mom, my ear! my ear! We were just watching anime, I swear! Can you let go?! My ears are really sensitive and that really hurts!"
A lot of the Hunters and Campers were snickering at my predicament. She let go, "Fine! but you should've asked first!"
I, while massaging my ear, mumbled "I thought you knew that I would be up. And I can't just sit around in my room for 7 hours alone, so I made a new friend who agreed to hang out with me from now on since we got nothing else to do!"
Mom sighed, "Fine, I'll allow it, but I want to meet her first"
"Sure, she's right there, the one that looks like a glowstick Latina with stars for eyes and a starry night sky for hair and wings," I said, pointing to Miu, who was walking to a lunch table of a starry design with a 10-year-old looking boy who must've been the person who was sleeping. He had the same hair, wings, and eyes as his sisters but was of Indian descent. He saw me looking and smiled. I waved with a friendly smile on my face.
Mom grabbed my arm went to Miu's table, scary the boy into going to another table. Miu turned around to see why her brother walked away, paling went Mom and me were behind her. "H-h-hello Lady Artemis, What c-can I d-do for you?" stuttered a scared Miu. Mom smiled, "Nothing just wanted to make sure this lug nut..." Grabbing me a headlock with one arm, "Hey!" I protested, "...Isn't bothering you"
She shook her head, "No, he makes g-good company. A-a-annoying, but f-friendly and n-nice"
"Hey, I resent that!" I said, protesting once again while in the headlock. Mom plucked my ear, earning a yelp from me, as it was still highly sensitive from earlier treatment. Miu smile, "He's fine. Besides it's good to have someone to hang with for 7 hours while everyone else is asleep"
"Wow dude, sometimes I don't know who's scarier, your mom or mines," Said Jason's voice. Mom turned toward a smirking Jason, just as he snapped a few pictures of us. "Definitely yours, dude. Your mom's eyes seem to see into and analyze my very being, soul, and mind all at the same time. She is scary, like Mrs. Rodriguez, but on a more intimidating level," I said with a pained smile.
It was a bad choice of words because Mom tightened the headlock, "What are you saying, Ky? Do I not scare you?"
"Nononono, you scare very much, just not as much as Mrs. Jackson
(A/N: I'm sorry, Ms Jackson,
Oohh,
I am for reeeaal,
Never meant to make your daughter cry,
I apologize a million times
No? Okay. I'll stop. Maybe. I couldn't help it. The opportunity was there again)
does. Look into her eyes and you'll what I mean," I said, struggling to get out of her grip. She finally let me go. I walked back to my table, hungry as hell and ready to eat. Gale popped in next to me in a swirl of sea-blue mist, ecstatic. Immediately, All the Hunters pointed their weapons at him. Dad said, "It's alright ladies, this is my other son, Gale Azure Blackstone"
Gale was indifferent at the number of sharp things pointed at him, turning to me and Dad "I just found out my rings are weapons. Mom also gave me new ones", Smashing his rings together, a flash of light revealing a sword with a 2-foot long blade and a dagger with a foot-long blade.
(A/N: As usual, the pictures of the weapons and objects will be on Wattpad, search 'DarkWielder', and you find the pics on my book there, as I'm posting on there as well. I will not describe all of Gales's weapons, as some of his are too intricate and complicated to explain. He the son of the Rage Of The Sea, so his weapons got to be fancy and fierce)
The dagger was green and the sword is icy blue. They were both so intricate and grand. Everyone at the table, as well as passerby's, looked at them with awe. He dropped them and they returned to his hands as rings. "And these are two of the new ones", holding out his hands. Suddenly, two simple sea-blue disks shot out of nowhere and land in front of Gale. Gale smirked, "Sharpen"
Instantly, the disks flatten and sharpened themselves to flat circular floating buzz saws. "Recede" Said Gale, causing the disks to go back to normal. They folded together, attached themselves to his wrist, and transformed into a watch. Gale was grinning like a madman. I clapped in applause, smirking. He pulled a watch and handed it to me, gave Dad a teal ring, and said "Mom said thanks for looking out for me. Dad, just press the gem, and Ky twist the ring on top"
We did as he said, and in Dad's hand was a Lance, and on Ky's arm a shield. Dad said, "Tell Kym we said 'thanks' for the gifts"
Gale smile, "Sure"
We sat at the table and talked with those who were willing to talk to us, then Gale left to go to the Arena. A few younger hunters were wanting me to teach them how to steal, which I was against, "We only do pickpocketing to keep our hands in top physical speed! You guys have no need for that" I said.
"Au contraire, little moon, The extra speed could help with dagger training and enhance the speed at which they can shoot their bows. With how fast and undetectable your pickpocketing is, it would be a big boost. You will teach them!" Said Mom in a tone that said the matter was not up for discussion. I stood up and sighed, "Yes ma'am"
Dad laughed, "You must got bad luck, boy." Mom turned to him, "You too, mister. You don't know how to use a Lance, so Thalia will teach you"
Dad stood up and just exclaimed, "Holy shit! Is that Nico Di Angelo in pink hello kitty underwear?!"
I took the hint. As soon as they turned their heads, I and Dad bolted from the dining pavilion faster than you could say 'no' in different directions. I was running so fast that when I stopped, I didn't know where I was. My ears heard a grunt. I walked off towards the noise. I came across a clearing with trees covered in slash marks. There was another grunt followed by a "Come on!"
It was Alex. She had her hand out, her eyes closed in concentration, a few seconds her silver hair flurried up, glowing, and a simple green 6-foot long spear shot out her hand and shot towards her target, a nearly-destroyed tree. When it struck, the point of contact exploded the spear into a cloud of green smoke, which caused the tree to wither away and die. "Reverse," said Alex. Immediately the cloud of smoke turned back into a spear and flew back to Alex. The tree miraculously came back, looking brand new. A green girl poke her head out of the tree with a thumbs up and went back in.
It spun and twirled for a few seconds then disappeared. Alex reared over in exhaustion, breathing hard with her hair back to normal. She stamped her foot in frustration. I decided to make my presence know, "Hey Pretty Piercer, Whatcha doing out here instead of at the arena?"
She turned around normally, with a flushed face and a knowing look on her face as if she already knew I was there, "Um...I'm not really comfortable in the Arena. Also w-wh d-d-did you c-call me that?" She stuttered.
"Well, your father is nicknamed 'the Piercer' and you're pretty" I stated as if it was obvious. She blushed, which cause a pink spear to pop out the ground and recede back in. I raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
I looked around, "Where's Dylan?" She shuffled her feet and looked down, "He's with our Grandfather, "
"Is your grandfather Poseidon?" I asked. She flinched, "Y-y-y-yes."
"Are you ok?" I asked. She nodded, "We don't like talking about our...sperm donor" I was deep in thought, "So Iapetus is your adoptive dad?"
She nodded, "Our sperm donor was a monster. Me and Dylan's birth w-was not c-c-consensual", a tear sliding down her cheek. I put my hand on her shoulder and whispered "Let me guess, your sperm donor is Orion"
She paled, "Y-yes, he is! Please don't sni-!"
"What's there to tell? Last time I checked, Iapetus is your father, not your Orion. He lost that right the minute he looked at your mom with a rape face" I whispered calmly. She relaxed a little, but was on her guard, "How did you know?"
"I'm also a hunter, and it takes one to know one. Gale said he sensed the sea in you guys. When I made my presence known, you seemed like you already know I was there. Then it's your eyes. They may be cybernetic, but you still have the eyes of a hunter stalking its prey." I said casually. She was trembling with a pleading look in her eyes, "Please, if this gets out, we will be kicked out of camp and your mom will hu-"
"Once again, you don't have to be afraid. My Dad has changed Mom. You'll be fine. Just swear an oath against your sperm donor in front of mom and her hunt and it will prove you can be trusted. If mom trusts you, especially your brother, then you can rest a little easier at camp" I interrupted. She looked at me as if I was an alien, "You expect me to tell your mom, the person who hates my sperm donor the most, that I'm descended from him?" Alex hissed.
"You have to. You don't realize it, but I can tell your constant fear of my mom and her hunt is holding you back in your powers, clouding your mind. If you don't do something about it, you will be killed later on due to a lack of strength. Demigods are usually tense, but it can put a strain on the body if you don't relax." I countered. She was still unsure so I said, "If you can get rid of one of your main fears, you'll be more relaxed, resulting in a clearer mind that will allow you to get a firmer grip on your abilities. I swear on the Styx you and Dylan will not be harmed if you. Besides, you have Poseidon backing you up."
"Fine! But I have to tell Dylan" muttered a scared Alex. I grabbed her by the shoulders, looking into her eyes, "I only want you to do because I like you and Dylan. I don't want you guys to get hurt, especially if I could've prevented it, Okay?"
She nodded, red-faced, causing me to realize how close we were. I shot away quickly, rubbing the back of my head, face flushed, "Um...so grab Dylan and meet me at my cabin. Try and catch her with my Dad. He'll be the one to make sure she's more calm and relaxed."
Alex nodded. I then asked, "Also how did you do that with that tree? And why did she let you?"
She said, "That was a magical spear. It's a power we got from our father being 'The Piercer'. Dylan and Me can summon control normal and magical spears out of nothing with our minds. Dylan's the one that specializes in Magic spears, but summoning magic spears takes more than summoning normal spears."
She stopped to see If I was following. I nodded, gesturing for her to continue.
"They can be made out of metal, magic, or purely out of our mental energy. The effects of magic spears can be revered, but only by us." She finished.
I smiled, "Well looks like Pretty Piercer and Prince Piercer are back at again by being awesome"
She looked down with a red face, "Thank y-y-you"
"You've never really been complimented before, have you?" I said with a sad face. She shook her head. I took on a concerned smile, Well that won't do. You need some medicine. From now on, you will receive a dosage of 5 compliments a day"
She was red in the face and said "And as for Pine, the nymph who offered to be target practice, I think she's a masochist", trying to compose herself.
Said nymph popped out her tree, "Yes. Yes the fuck I am. Let me know if you want to pike me again, cause I'll be there immediately." and went back in. We just looked at each other with awkward faces. "I d-didn't know nymphs could l-like p-pain. I always t-thought they h-hated it w-w-when people t-they don't like touched t-their s-source" I stuttered, completely flushed from how she could say that to kids.
Alex shrugged, "She's the one who offered"
I composed myself, "Well see you later" and walked off.
