Eve Knight's P.O.V- MACUSA HQ- Woolworth Building, New York- 17th August 2001
I felt my grandfather pull me a bit harder when a man who was where a brown trench coat started to approach us, he was bald and had several bags under his eyes, I looked up at my grandfather and whispered "Is that one of Dumbledork..dumblens...dumbes men" He smiled as I mucked up saying the hated headmasters name. once we reached the elevator he replied to me "yes it's is my dear Eve, his name is Mundungus Fletcher, he does the dirty work for the Headmaster, basically anything on the edge of being illegal of illegal completely." he spat on the ground at the mention of breaking the law, he pulled out his wand and with a small flick he cleaned it up, my Grandfather was very good at non-verbal spells.
Today was the day that I was going to be legally allowed to get wand, of course I wouldn't get mine's till next year but in America if you are a demigod you are allowed a wand from 2 months before you are 8 as to make sure you stay alive. My Grandfather loved this rule but even then he won't get me a wand till next year because I am the Granddaughter of Hecate and the daughter of Hades so my magical core took a bit more time to stabilize. I still could persuade my magic a little bit though, my dark brown going on black hair kept on getting in the way of my face so I persuaded my magic to tie my hair into a knot, We landed down at the demigod wand registration.
My grandfather let his grip on me go as he knew I was safe now, I mean I was near fellow demigods. If you are wondering how there are no Monster attack it is because there is this magical charm which misleads the monsters until they are miles away. me and Grandfather walked up to the desk at the back where the Big three registration was, the desk was littered because there aren't many big three demigods around at all never mind magical ones, the woman at the desk looked up in surprise at seeing people walk up to her, she spoke lightly and kindly "Sir, this is for children of the Big three only" My grandfather pulled out his old Aurors badge and showed it to him, This is my Granddaughter Eve Knight daughter of Hades and Evelyn Knight daughter of Hecate and myself" The woman looked like she believed him a bit more but still didn't seem to fully believe him. she looked at me and said "Alright Miss knight please prick your finger on this needle to confirm your identity" I placed my finger just above the needle and brought my finger down on it so there was blood lightly covering it, The paper on her desk went crazy as they tried to find my paperwork, I lifted my finger off and the small would healed over instantly.
The papers were just shooting around like crazy, I knew I had been registered as a Demigod by MACUSA before when I was 3 so obviously someone had lost my file, suddenly a file came flying down from above stating that the file had been seen 10 minutes ago but was now missing, The woman grabbed her microphone that was on the table and stated "A demigod file has just been stolen, most likely by a British Wizard or Witch, catch them at all costs!" hang on a moment...British Wizard, wasn't I near one reacently... of course the bald man "mam there is a British Wizard currently wearing a brown trench coat near the elevator on the entrance floor, he was bald and has several eyes under his eyes" she grinned and said "Did you hear her Aurors, Apprehend him before he can leave the building" a couple minutes later a man in a bowler hat and a grey padded vest came in with the file stating "Thank you for informing us when you did Miss Dursley, thanks to you and miss Knight over here we were able to apprehend Mundungus Fletcher who we have been after for years for stealing important documents, he is now is now in a prision cell with anti-animagius cuffs, are you still able to come around later miss Dursley?"
Me and my grandfather walked back to the elevator and got back in it, my grandfather had a meeting today in the MACUSA main atrium between the headmaster of Illvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the President of MACUSA, The Headmaster of Castelobruxo, The headmaster of Mahoutokoro School of Magic (which is a school I want to go to but as a granddaughter of Hecate I must go to Hogwarts) and the headmistress of Koldovstoretz. they all had children about the same age so I had met them years ago, my grandfather was filling in for Hogwarts as he was going to be the next headmaster of Hogwarts once Dumble...Dumbledore kicks the bucket. All of the children were demigods as well.
The son of the Headmistress of Koldovstoretz was one of my best friends otmetka or in English Mark and he was a son of Dionysios (he was coming with me to Hogwarts), the daughter of the Meadmaster of Mahoutokoro is called Maria and daughter of Aphrodite (she is going to Ilvermorny), the son of the Headmaster of Castelobruxo was called Mike and he was the son of Bellona (he is going to Mahoutokoro), The daughter of the president of Magic was called Holly and she was the daughter Thanatos and my other best friend(going to Mahoutokoro), The son of the headmaster of Illvermorny is called Alexander and he is the son of Athena (going to Koldovstoretz). I mean going to the school in Japan sounded so cool! I walked over to Mark and Holly and began to talk to them about how things have been for them since I last saw them a couple of months ago, turns out Mark is going to camp half-blood next week while Holly is going to go and be trained by her father in the underword, I wish my father would train me!:(
Cat's P.O.V- MACUSA HQ-Woolworth Building, New York- 19th August 2001
I couldn't believe it! we were actually in America and not any ordinary place but Magical America, this is so exciting! MACUSA seems so cool, you can easily tell that they are more unified with other countries than Britain is by looking up to the roof where there was a image the MACUSA symbol sitting at at table with other countries, the symbols were: Japan, South America, Russia, Germany, France, South Africa, Africa and Scandinavia. The Orphanage had finally worked up enough money to take us somewhere so they chose MACUSA so we could compare it to the ministry back home, Everything was so much neater and more organised, there was no flying paper planes flying around or a huge flock of people and the entrance, there were seats along the edges of the hall and there was 6 elevators, 1 grand stair case that goes up and two that go down, there was pipes that go along the walls where papers were going fling threw Hell there was even a Large TV screen.
There was a reception desk by the wall with a small queue of people, the man behind the desk looked bored, above the desk was a sign saying 'Foreign guest reception over here' with a large arrow pointing downwards, Mr Xavier was looking around for where we were supposed to go and said "Mr Xavier, I think we go over there" I said pointing in between the sign and the desk, he looked at me with soft eyes and said "Thank you Cat" he grabbed my hand and all of us walked over to the desk. The man at the desk groaned and stated "This could take awhile sir, A couple of days ago a thief from Britain tried to steal important documents to MACUSA on someones order, so as to make sure none can do it again, we have to either sign in or register everyone who is foreign so it doesn't happen."
Mr Xavier nodded at the man and said "So what do we have to do?" the man gave a needle a small tab and replied "You have to prick a finger against this needle and it will take all the information it needs", One by one the entire Orphanage and gone trough and it was just me and Mr Xavier left, I pricked my finger and the machine went crazy as it wrote everything onto my form and it went flying up a tube, I took my finger off the needle and it healed over right away, About 2 minutes later my ID card came down another tube and landed right in front of me, on the front it stated something surprising it said 'Catherine/Cat Lestrange/Black' and it said my parents were 'Bellatrix Lestrange and Unknown' it also said my room number for the MACUSA hotel.
underneath the card was a small sticky note telling me to meet the person at the entrance of MACUSA at 8PM tonight, I placed the note in my pocket and walked over to the rest of my class and placed my card into my other pocket, I walked over to the one member of the Orphanage who liked me, his name was Callum and he was slightly muscly but not overlay bulky, he was the son of Mr Xavier. all the other kids hated me because I was a member of the house of black, no one even knew who my real parents were, well until now where it said on the card.
throughout the day we wandered around MACUSA HQ until it was 5PM and Mr Xavier decided that it was time for us to go and get something to eat, there was this new restaurant that was opening up across muggle and Magical America called Pizza Express, it was owned by the Zabini family who were a British/Italian family, unlike most pureblood family's in Britain they were fine with doing business in the muggle world, It was apparently very popular. I walked into the restaurant and it was beautiful, there was muggles and Wizards talking and no one gave a damn, there was a door way into a small cafe/cake shop called Kowalski Magical Baked Goods. we sat down near the back where there was a large wooden table set out for us to eat, in the corner booth across from us was 3 boys and two girls although I feel like there was some one else was there, what shocked me was the faces on two of the boys, one of them who was clearly the younger one had shaggy hair that looked to be impossible to tamable, he had a small injury on his forehead that I couldn't see from where I was but his eyes were beautiful, sort of like mine except his eye were Emerald green with spark of blue lightning racing trough them, the other boy intrigued me, he had a scar than ran from the bottom of his chin up past his nose and narrowly passing his eye, He had sea green eyes but his eyes had swirls of darkness inside them but also silver.
They were talking to none other than Blaise Zabini and his older sister Cynthia Zabini, the two children of the owners of this establishment, The other girl they were with had dark brown hair and her eyes were black but had miniature stars in them. the two boys wore simple black clothing while the girl was wearing a silver tracksuit, then the older boy and girl stood up and the boy said "Blaise, Cynthia, it has been good seeing you again, I apologize about having to leave so sharp but me and Zoe here have to go and finish the quest that my father gave us, I hope to see you soon the two of you, Hadrian please go down to my father's place once you have finished your meal as to continue your training" the other boy scowled and muttered what sounded like a 'fine', Cynthia spoke up and said "Stay safe you two, Happy birthday for yesterday Perseus, now go and finish your quest", as they walked past the table I felt a spark of electricity run trough me that made me feel like I was on coffee, the two of them left the building and a few minutes later so did the other three.
After a while we had eaten and we went to the hotel, since I still had about half an hour until I had to meet that person who requested that we meet I decided to watch this television thing. unlike Britain, America got along with there muggle counterparts, so it meant that inventions that the muggles created were embraced and changed slightly to work with magic, which was the case with the TV, I turned it on and it appeared on a thing called BBB USA, it announced a special TV movie called 'Doctor Who', it was so interesting, I hope I don't have to go back to Britain because I wan't to continue watching this amazing film, I wonder if it has series, I felt a voice in my head who sounded like he cared and stated "Don't worry you won't have to go back", it was so comforting but I knew it was just my head, I kept an eye on the clock and as soon as it turned 8 I switched off the TV and pretended to be asleep so Mr Xavier wouldn't realize I was gone, He checked in a couple of minutes later and saw me with my eyes closed so he left.
I lifted the window slightly and used the air flow to let me glide down to the ground, I had discovered I could do this when I was younger and a older member of the Orphanage(Now in Azkabang) threw my out the top window, the air flows caught me and brought me over to a tree. Once I landed on the pavement I walked over to the crossing and waited for the light to flash, I touched the pole and a spark of electricity flowed trough me and into the pole. suddenly we were allowed to cross, once I got across I let the air flow close the window that I had climbed out of, I walked along the street to where I believe the entrance of MACUSA HQ was, I went through the revolving door and suddenly I was back in MACUSA HQ.
I walked over to the desk from earlier and it was the same man on active duty, he noticed me and said "Hello Miss Black, where I need you to go, I am not allowed to go, when you reach the lift say floor 38 to the house Elf and then go to the reception desk, they will explain things better than me", he let me trough and I walked over to an empty elevator, I told the elf "Floor 38" he pressed the button and I gave him a gallon for his services which he went "what was that for?" wait does he not want money "So you are given some money for your services" he gave off what sounded like a laugh "nice witch, unlike our British counterparts, we are given clothes and money, we still serve a master or Mistress but only so we stay alive, anyway our master's tell us to get jobs so we can continue to work" wow just wow, so House elf's basically work with ministry amazing!
we landed on the correct floor and I walked out once the door had opened and I walked out, the room was quite simple, there was 12 desks that each had a wall separating them, at one side of the room was a group of people in bright gold and silver armor and weapons, each member looked ready for action at a moments notice, in front of me was a reception desk saying 'Demigod registration/discovery' Demigod? I walked up to the desk where a woman whose name tag read 'Mrs Evans' I spoke her to and said "Mrs Evans, a man who works at the foreign Reception desk at the entrance told me to come down here?" she looked at me and said "Do you have your card?" I pulled it out of my pocket and gave it to her, she went "Ah that will be why he sent you down here, that and your eyes, Go to Desk 1"
I went over to the desk with the number 1 above it, there was a young man with black hair that was wild at it, he said "Mrs Evans,sent you over here correct?" I nodded my head "My name is Marcus a demigod son of Bacchus, now tell me, what do you know about the ancient Greek and Roman Gods?" I went onto explain to him all that I knew about them until he stopped me and said "So you know more than most British Wiazards, miss Black that's good, now what would you do if I told you that all of what you told me is true?" wait what... are these people crazy "I would say you are crazy!" he laughed and said "Well at least you have the usual reaction, quick question, do you have any unusual powers that most wizards or witches don't have?" hmm could my power over the wind and me getting an electric shock on electronic devices when I am angry be because of that? "I can control Air currents and when I am angry or I want something to happen around electrical devices, a electric spark comes out of my fingers" He just went and said "Bingo I know who your father is!" He does just like that? "By judging your eyes and those ability's you said, I would say you are the daughter of either Zeus or Jupiter, the only way to tell which one it is, is by asking you a question, if you were fighting a foe would you fight in a formation or randomly attack?" I instantly knew the answer "Attack in formation of course" he gained a smile on his face "So you are a daughter of Jupiter, if you were wondering about the crazy question it is because Roman demigods always fight in formation while Greek demigods go somewhere in between the two" hmm that's interesting.
"Take this card and give it to Mrs Evans, as soon as she puts it into the database, a new card will be printed for you with your updated details, Your document will then go into a secure location. once you receive the card go over to the people in the armor and they will take you to Camp Jupiter, then ask for those who know about the magical world, don't mention this to anybody who isn't a wizard or witch either also at all cost do not mention Greece, if you do that you will fit right in. Quick question, which school are you going to...?" I sighed and replied "Hogwarts" he wrote that on and gave it to me and said "good luck" I walked over to the woman who took my card and then said "Your Orphanage will be informed that you have been transferred to another Orphanage, all your collections will be picked up tomorrow" she gave me my new card and I walked over to the lot in armor, one of them nodded at me, I noticed that there was between 7 and 8 of us all together, the one who was obviously the leader said "Alright follow me you lot"
We had been walking for hours, apparently there was a van ready to pick us up in a couple miles time but the driver had been chased by monster which was why he was so far away from the meet up place, as we were walking I kept on feeling like we were being watched by something, then suddenly from above us came two people, one was dressed in a pitch black cloak and he wore warm clothing that was also black then there was the other who was wearing the same but it was completely white. "We are on a quest for Lord Jupiter, he request that we gather up all of his children, so please release Cat Black into our care" our leader yelled "who are you! name yourself and your parentage!" the one in black pulled down his hood and said "I'm Perseus Jackson son of Pluto, I swear on the river timber that I am telling the truth" the sky flashed bright yellow and the leader known as Cass said "alright Cat you heard him, don't worry he is probably taking you to your father" I walked over to him and felt the same spark from earlier when I approached, I grabbed hold of the others hand when he grabbed hold of the persons hand and he went into the shadow of the tree before disappearing with us with him.
Hadrian's P.O.V-Olympus-Throne room- 18th August 1001- 5 seconds after Hadrian reached the throne room
whew gods am I tired, even after 3 years of living here this place still feels like a labyrinth to me, I walked to the center of the throne room in front of my father, I brought my self onto one knee, My father had longish black wavy hair with a curvy mustache and a small black beard with grey hairs running trough it. At the moment he held his head in his hand which was resting against the edges of his throne, if you couldn't tell by the way he was holding his head that he was crying and that he was upset, then you would be able to hear the large sobs that were coming from him, normally my father was a very stoic man who would do what is best for Olympus but if there is one thing he cared more about than anything was his family, it was one aspect that was always there (Hadrian doesn't know about Jupiter, he just thinks that Zeus changes how he looks depending on his mood) Although I still couldn't understand why he loved that girl Thalia so much, he should love me his son so much more than the girl, also if she died it's her own fault, women just aren't cut out for battle.
Realizing after 5 minutes that my father wasn't going to notice my arrival, I coughed slightly and said "Father, I am here, you do no longer have to fear for a girl's stupidity in battle as a real man is here" his head snapped up and stood up in a instant as his voice boomed across the chamber "YOU DARE INSULT YOUR SISTER! SHE WENT DOWN FIGHTING FOR HER FRIENDS, HOW MANY CYCLOPES HAVE YOU BEATEN WITH BARLEY ANY ENERGY! HOW MANY HELLHOUNDS HAVE YOU SENT BACK TO TARTARUS AFTER NOT EATING IN WEEKS! HAVE YOU EVER FACED A HYDRA AT ALL NEVER MIND FACING DOWN A BUNCH OF MONSTERS BEFORE HAND! HAVE YOU! his fists began to spark from the electricity running trough them, the winds picked up from his anger as the doors slammed shut "YOU ARE JUST A MORTAL BOY WHO BELIEVES HIMSELF TO BE SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE IS FAMOUS IN HECATE'S WORLD! BECAUSE HE IS MY SON, BECAUSE 2 PROPHECY'S HAVE BEEN MADE! DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT MOST DEMIGODS BEING IN A PROPHECY IS THE MOMENT WHEN THEY FEEL PROUD BUT KNOW IT'S TIME FOR THERE DEATH, FOR MOST DEMIGODS IT IS AN HONOR TO FIGHT FOR OLYMPUS AND TO DIE FOR OLYMPUS! BUT YOU THROW IT AROUND LIKE YOUR OWN PERSONAL PLAY THING!"
His voice increased with every sentence, his hair had began to split with electricity running trough it as he got madder and madder, "YOU THINK YOURSELF AS A MAN BUT SHE WAS TWICE THE MAN YOU ARE, SHE ALWAYS WILL BE AND YOU ARE PATHETIC! BOTH YOU AND HERCULES ARE ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC, TO THINK THAT LILY'S SON COULD TURN INTO SUCH A PATHETIC BEING DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, YOU WANT TO BE A BETTER MAN! LOOK AT YOUR COUSIN PERSEUS, HE HAD A HORRIBLE CHILDHOOD YET HE WITH YOUR UNCLES HELP PULLED TROUGH IT AND HAS BECOME AN AMAZING MAN WORTHY OF BEING THE HERO OF OLYMPUS!" that's it I have had enough "I BET YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY MUM'S FULL NAME OR THIS THALIA GIRLS MOTHER OR ANY OF THE WOMAN YOU HAVE KNOCKED UP ANYWAY" he sent a bolt of lightning 2 feet "LILY JUNE EVANS SHE MARRIED JAMES POTTER SO ALBUS DUMBLEDORE WOULD NOT DISCOVER THE GODS, BERYL GRACE, ALCMENE, LETO, MAIA, METIS, SEMELE. ALL WOMAN WHO I LOVE AND REGRET BECAUSE I RUIN THERE LIVES SOME HOW, THEY ARE A CONSTANT REMINDER TO BE THE FAIR KING I AM! YOUR PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR INSOLENCE IS THAT YOU ARE NOT TO SEE HERCULES UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE HOGWARTS BEGINS FOR YOU, YOU SHALL ALSO LEARN WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO BE A HERO FROM PERSEUS!" he finally finished and sat back down exhausted.
my father regained his energy and as quietly as possible whispered "Pack your things, I have just contacted your uncle, he knows we are coming, ha probably didn't expect to see me again today, hmm today has been not the best day, started off good with Perseus birthday but then Thalia died and then you insult me and her" I tuned out halfway trough and once he was finished I walked trough the labyrinth of halls and rooms and got to my room and packed essentials such as clothes, weapons and more.
Perseus P.O.V- underworld-throne room- leaving to continue forging- 20 minutes before Thalia's death
I pushed the door to the throne room open happy about my gifts, as I went by a solider who currently didn't have anything to do went by so I used my powers and said "Solider take these to my room and put them on my bed" I passed him my new gear and keys and he shook his skull, I then grabbed a hold of Zoe and shadow traveled us down to the Forge to continue my forging. when we reached the forge, Riptide which I had left to melt had completely melted and as soon as Zoe entered the room she was hit by some aura and she whispered "Our theory was true, I have my entire soul back, I can now survive attacks from even the most dangerous of poisons apart from a hydra for obvious reasons, I think I may have also gained part of Jerkules soul" oh that is just great "that's great Zoe" I went up and hugged her, there was only two people who I let hug me, My father and Zoe, I would hug other people but only those two could hug me.
I got myself out the hug and then using my birth fathers powers lifted the Stygian metal into the Celestial bronze, the two liquid metals along with heat began to react to each other a couple of minutes later there was a new metal created that I was calling 'Stygian celestial steel' it was black like Stygian steel but had the ability to be marked like celestial steel, it also had the special ability's of the Stygian steel, another advantage of a mixed metals blade was that it could attack normal wizards and witches but still not harm mortals, it would hits squips 50% of the time as well. I pulled out a casing for my new sword and placed the new metal in it I then used my powers to separate bits of the metal where I would infuse my essence of Ice into it and when I use Ice you would be able to see it. I placed the sword into the nitrogen gas and pulled it out after a few seconds.
I left the blade to warm up again, and went over and picked up my bow 'nightshade' I took it the enchanting table and with the help of Zoe I channeled my magic into making the bow change into a necklace when I thought about it, The bow then changed into a necklace, I picked up the necklace and placed it over my head, with a thought the necklace changed back into the beautiful black bow, I then changed it back into the necklace and moved over to the next item, a shield made out on Stygian metal and Imperial gold, I enchanted it so the shield would transform into a thin wrist watch which to activated I had to press a small button. Zoe gasped and I turned around to see what she gasped at but saw nothing and Zoe said "Did thou not see the blue sparks go into your new blade Percy?" I shook my head and went back over to the new sword and picked it up, I then put partials of sand suspended in between the gaps and placed it above the burner turning the sand into glass,
I walked away from the sword believing it to be fine and said to Zoe "the sword is fine Zoe, you must just be seeing things in your old age" she lightly punched me in the shoulder and said "Oh ha ha, but I guess you are right" this could be fun, I replied back and said "What, about your old age?" she punched me again but a lot harder this time "Ouch okay I will stop, just don't hit me any harder" she chuckled evilly and said "Only if you promise to do the laundry for the hunt, when you are staying with us" hell no it that going to happen "Yep that's not going to ever fucking happen Zoe" both of us burst out laughing, neither of us noticing my new sword glowing. I walked over to my armor and pulled a old pocket watch out, I Imagined that the armor would cover my body when I clicked the button while the cover was open, that way I could check the time without the armor popping on.
My armor was a complete set of Stygian metal, helmet,chest piece, feet and leg guards, arm guards and gloves, I was A Dark Knight. This wasn't my own personally made piece of armor but one that my father gave to me, I wouldn't get my own one until I was 12 on my fathers orders. I walked over the sword and picked it up, I swung it and twirled it around my my hand, it was perfectly balanced for me, It was longed than a normal Greek Xiphos but shorter than a standard samurai sword, It was thicker as well and was just large enough to fit an elemental crystal into it, it was made out of 'Stygian celestial steel' apart from the glass area, in between the glass was a 2cm gap where the elemental power would travel up the blade in between the glass until it reached the glass was in a cool zig sag shape which made it look really cool. However the blade was still in the basic shape of a Greek Xiphos just slightly larger (5cm) and a tiny bit thicker (6cm).
However there was something seriously wrong as when I went to put my Ice ability's into the sword it wouldn't allow me to, I turned to Zoe and asked "Zoe, my Ice abilities aren't going into the sword" she looked up at me and said "maybe it already has a element, also how about you name the sword something else other than dusk destroyer or dusk, what about λυκόφως or Εκδίκηση" hmm maybe she is right, "Twilight and Vengeance eh, yeah your right, how would I see if the blade has another element Zoe?" she but one hand on her chin and was quiet for about two minutes and replied "try thinking about the element coming out in front of you when you are pointing the sword forwards" I lifted my new blade upwards and pointed it towards an clear was and I thought about the element coming out of the blade, a set of blue lightning came out of the blade hitting the wall in front of me.
all I could say was "Fucking hell, that was cool" I had a sword that could shoot out fucking lightning, I don't even care if I am swearing, I turned around to see Zoe stuttering before she managed to get a grip on herself and said "Lets see Hadrian and his sword do that, jeez whiz`" I walked over to the enchanting desk and placed the sword onto the desk, I then pulled of a ring that I had received from my father last year for my Christmas, the ring was golden and it held a black diamond, black diamonds were one of the rarest metals in the world, only being found in the underworld near the the 5 rivers and were very far and few between. I placed the ring on the desk and made the sword and the ring one, there was a blinding flash and then only the ring was sitting there, I went and picked it up and looked at the diamond, now there were stormy blue lines running across the diamond. I put the ring down a second and then there was a KAKAKA BOOM which resulted in me and Zoe being blasted back into a wall.
Both of us picked ourselves up and walked back over to the desk and there was now two rings, however one had the colors inverted so it was a blue diamond with black cracks and the ring was silver instead of gold. I picked up the original and normal colored, I touched the diamond and imagined it turning back into sword form, it changed into it with a white glow, I placed the sword back onto the desk. I then picked up the inverted color ring and did what I did for the first ring, It changed but this time the flash was pitch black, the blade was more celestial bronze than Stygian steel and I then pointed the sword out towards the wall it shot out bolts of darkness/shadows.
I dropped the sword in shock, this sword had a bit of my soul in it while the other one had someone else soul in it... someone who had the power over lightning in it. The sword fell and clattered against the stone floor, as soon as it hit the floor and settled it turned back into it's ring form, I slowly and carefully bent down and picked the ring up from the ground and placed it on the desk, I picked up my ring and turned it into a sword and used my magic to write into it 'Εκδίκηση' which translates to Vengeance, I transferred it back into ring form and on the gold part of the ring had a small engraving which said Vengeance, I placed the ring back onto my finger and stared at the other ring, there was so many possibilities. In the end I decided although I won't use it, I will still name it, I changed it into sword form and engraved it using my magic and called it 'λυκόφως' or in English 'Twilight' I changed it back into a ring and carefully placed it into a box which I put in my pocket.
As me and Zoe left the Forgery, a solider came up to me and sated in a monotone voice "My lord, your father wishes you to appear in the throne room, something has happened" whatever has happened can wait half an hour "Tell my father that I am about to go for a shower, as soon as I am out I will head to the throne room" The solider saluted and marched off back to the throne room. Zoe and I slowly walked back to my room, every now and then we would push each other into the walls to try and annoy the other although it mostly didn't work, Zoe said to me as we reached my room " will go down to your father right now to see what is going on, better get in that shower quick bro" I hugged her and entered my room.
I immediately locked my bedroom door once I had closed it and pulled off my -T-shirt that was covered in smoke, my trousers very quickly followed so I was only in my pants and socks, i sat down on my bed and pulled the socks off and flung them onto my dirty laundry pile, I stood up off my bed and went over to my cupboard and picked out a towel for my shower. I walked into my personal bathroom and turned on the shower, I placed my towel on the heater and pulled off my pants leaving myself completely nude and stepped into the shower. I grabbed some shower gel and began to get off all the smoke from the forge, Then I heard a smash as I heard someone that sounded like a girl groaning. I peeked my head around my glass and lying there with a hand against the sink was a girl who was slightly older than me by about 2 years, She had long shaggy balk hair that went down to to the top of her back and it looked like it hadn't been washed or cleaned in a couple of weeks, her eyes were electric blue.
she must be dead however, because 1. you could see trough her to the mirror behind her, 2. she if you looked in the mirror you couldn't see her, however there was one thing pointing to her not being completely dead was the fact that see wasn't white like the rest of the souls in the underworld, she also was more solid than other souls as by the note that she had smashed a glass jar and was picking herself up as if if she was still alive. she muttered "Where are I, last thing I remember was that I was fighting a hydra and then pain as I landed on something along with a black a blue light" She looked familiar but from where? I turned off my shower which caused the girl to turn and face this way, although she couldn't see me from behind the glass, She turned back to looking at herself and I grabbed the towel next to the shower which I gotten earlier, I tied the towel around my waist and and walked out from the shower and stated "Your full name, age and status of either god, demigod, wizard/witch or mortal/muggle" she looked at me and replied with catch in her breath "Thalia Grace, age 10, demigod daughter of Zeus" wait Thalia grace, as in my cousin who is on the run Thalia, the same one who I helped survive as specter.
I went up and some how managed to hug her and said "Thalia, my cousin, so good to see you again, then again you haven't actually seen me outside of my costume before so technically this is our first meeting but oh well" she smiled and said "Demigod I am assuming, you say we have met before, but I don't recognize you, also you are calling me cousin so that must mean you are a child of the big three but I am the only child of the big three so" I put a hand on her shoulder to stop her rambling, my hand on her shoulder stayed there for a few seconds before falling trough "Yes I am a Demigod, the eldest child of Hades to be exact also we have plenty of siblings and cousins. now for the fact that I said we know each other but you don't recognize me as I visited you and your friends as my alternate self, Specter where I brought you food and supplies, she started stuttering before she got a grip on her self and said "wait your specter, hang on a moment if you are son of Hades does that mean I am dead?" I frowned and replied "Yes I am Specter but to answer your second question I'm not sure, you seem to be in some kind of limbo between life and death ".
I went "not to be awkward or anything but I am only wearing a towel at the moment, so do you mind if I go trough to my room to get changed" her cheeks blushed bright red and said "Of course" I walked trough to my room and pulled out a pair of boxers and let my towel drop, I pulled my pants up and then grabbed a pair of black socks. then suddenly Thalia was standing right in front of me "Thalia, what are you doing in here" she stuttered and said "One moment I was cutting my hair and the next moment I am in here" well at least I wasn't nude anymore when she appeared here, i grabbed a black T-shirt and pulled it over my head, I also grabbed my self a pair of black jeans, now that I was dressed I looked at Thalia her hair was now shorter, she came up to me and asked while still blushing "Do you have any hair gel that I can use?" I pointed towas my chest of draws where my hair gel was sitting on top.
I pulled my shoes on and tied the laces while Thalia was adding a mass amount of hair gel to her hair, I picked up my ring, watches and necklace, The ring fitted snuffly around my finger. I went "Thalia, we should probably explain what is happening to my father, he might be able to work out what is going on" she was silent for a couple of seconds before replying "...yea you are probably right, why is it that someone younger than me is so mature, I mean I had to mature because I was on the run but you, why are you so mature?" I stayed silent for a few moments while I opened the door and replied "My mum was murdered by Step-father... he was abusive to say the least" she grimaced at what I said as we walked along the corridor, she asked me "Do you have a TV signal down here?" I grinned and said "Hell yea, we have of 200 channels" she stopped and stared at me and said "Do you like to watch pokemon"what kind of question was that "hell yea I do" she grinned and said "Can you catch me up on the last few seasons".
after 5 minutes of walking we made it to the throne room, I pushed the large doors open revealing my father on the throne looking slightly sorrow, Zoe was near the fire with mother (Persephone) while Demeter was complaining about stupid mortals no longer eating cereal because they were apparently unhealthy, I announced my presence and said "Father, what is going on?" he barley looked up and stated "Despite ours and your Uncle Zeus's best efforts without breaking the Ancient Laws, Poseidon managed to Kill your cousin Thalia. not even our back up plan of turning her into a tree worked according to your uncle although I haven't felt her soul pass yet" he has absolutely no clue "Father look up at me and look slightly to your right" he did as I asked and said "What are you trying to do Perseus?" I looked to where he was facing and realized it was the wrong side "Sorry father, I meant to my left" he turned and his mouth opened till it nearly hit the floor.
Zoe looked around confused while Demeter and mother had a similar reaction to father, father went "Άγιο Λετέ, wait Zoe can you see her?" he said looking at Zoe confused face, Zoe went "Who Lord Hades?" my father looked confused "hmm that is odd, Zoe please head to the coliseum" Zoe nodded and said "Of course Lord Hades" before walking out, closing the doors to the Throne room. my father went up to Thalia and said "Hey Thalia, the names Hades, you seem to be in a strange form of limbo, from what I can tell your soul has been split caused by your father and I trying to save you after your back got snapped on that log, also nice going on beating that hydra" ... wait what she beat a freaking hydra, no way. Also her soul is split which would explain why she isn't dead but not alive either.
she gasped and said "Thank you Lord Hades but do you know how many times my soul got split or if I can recover from it" He went back onto his throne and thought also Conjuring chairs for us, once we had sat down and Mother and Demeter sat down, Hades continued "I just did a quick sense of your soul, it has been split into 3 pieces, 2 pieces of your soul are here, one is on Camp Half-blood hill." well at least it isn't hundreds of pieces like my great-great-great-great(You get the idea) brother from back in ancient times, Thalia asked "Do you know what the percentage and the Item each piece of my soul is in Lord Hades?" my father was silent for a few minutes before answering "50% of your soul is inside of a Pine Tree at camp half blood, the tree now protects the camp with a border line, you yourself make up 45% of your soul while the final 5% is inside my sons ring or more specifically his new sword, that would explain why Zoe couldn't see you as only the mortal who owns the final part of your soul can see you trough his connection to the blade, I bet if you held onto the sword you would be able to appear to other mortals, however us gods can see you"
Thalia looked slightly worried and my father noticed this so he said "Don't worry Niece, my son can't make you do anything, you just have to be in a 5ft radius with him as your bond grows anyway, at the moment you will be flung back to him even if you are 1ft apart, also don't worry, Zoe told me that my sons blade transformed into two, I believe that the blade belongs to you and has 5% of his soul in it, also about saving you, There is only 1 item that can restore a soul unless it is trapped inside a blade and that is the golden fleece, As soon as my brother and your father arrives I will tell him and we will begin searching" Thalia looked relieved at the news and then father looked at Demeter and mother and they nodded at him, Father went "My sister/mother-in-law and wife agree with me"
my Father then said to both of us "My brother is coming here since Hadrian was foolish and insulted him and Thalia when he was grieving" well shit bag "Let me guess, Hadrian is going to be staying with us for a while?" my father chuckled lightly and said "A bit longer than a while Perseus, he insulted your Uncle so bad that he has made it that he has to stay here until he goes to Hogwarts and he can't see Jerkules until the day before Hogwarts" Holy shit how angry was Uncle Z, Thalia decided to speak up slightly "Erm who is Hadrian Lord Hades and what Is Hogwarts" I decided to answer her "Hadrian is your younger brother and Hogwarts is a school for witchcraft and Wizardry" she looked skeptical and asked "So magic is real?" right yea she probably won't have discovered magic yet since she didn't make it to camp "All demigods have magic except it is ingrained into our powers, Hecate took that knowledge of that and used her powers to give it to some of her Mortal followers, the Mortals called it what we call it which is Mist but then over the centuries it was forgotten and was called magic, certain demigods if they are a child of Hecate or have magical religions go to schools set up by the Magical folk"
I took a big breath and continued "These schools are set up across the world, there is 1 in north America, one in Alaska, one in South America, One in Britain, Japan, 2 in Africa, 3 in Europe, in Russia and in Asia. Usually the gods ignore them but sometimes they do pay attention when a Dark Wizard starts to show signs of knowing about Olympus, I'm one of the demigods who has family who is a Magical, My grandfather to be exact, he wasn't that good of a man while Hadrian your brother is the son of a Witch and your father, in the magical world he is famous for defeating a mad man" she looked up at me and interrupted me and said "Mad man in a box?" ah she is a Doctor Who fan, then we will get on "Unfortunately no, but it has made him a bit pig headed as you will see soon from the fame"
My father coughed lightly to get our attention "No offence Perseus and Thalia but my brother has informed me that he will be arriving in about 2 minutes with Hadrian, so Thalia ask me that question that is lingering in your head" She looked down embarrassed and said "Is my brother Jason soul down here" her eyes shinning with hope "No" came from my father as the light in her eyes died out until she heard what my father said next "Because he isn't dead, he is at Camp Jupiter, the camp for Roman demigods as he is a son of Jupiter, also do not let Hadrian know that you are here" she nodded lightly with a smile on her face with tears streaming down it, I picked out a tissue and gave it to her.
After a couple of minutes Lord Zeus flashed in along with Hadrian, Uncle Zeus sent me a mind message saying "Challenge him to a fight, tell him if he wins he can have his punishment reduced, if he loses he has to start changing his personality by learning under you" I nodded at him and as soon as it looked like Hadrian was fully in I yelled to him "Hadrian I challenge you to a duel in the name of Thalia and Lord Zeus, if you win you can have your punishment reduced, if you lose however you have to start changing your attitude to women and the people around you" I had barley even finished speaking before Hadrian relied "Fine, I guess I won't have to please father like I thought I would" He walked out off the throne room towards the coliseum with his sword in hand, and for the fist time since Lord Zeus and Hadrian arrived Thalia spoke up "How in Tartarus, can I be related to him in anyway"
Lord Zeus turned around in shock as he saw his daughter, and for the first time in my short life, I saw him cry, cry tears of joy as he ran up to Thalia and hugged her, holding her tight, as if he never wanted to let go of her. I heard him whisper "But how, I saw your spine break, even mine and Hades combined powers could stop that from killing someone" thalia pulled her dad in closer and said "I don't fully understand so ask Lord Hades about it, but don't we have a duel to watch?" Lord zeus walked over to my father and they began to talk as we walked down the endless hallways of the palace.
We arrived at the coliseum where Hadrian was warming up by swinging his sword around, Zoe was up at the spectator stand along with about 6 gods, up there they had a feast of food and drink that they were happily having, I went into the center of the coliseum and waited for Hadrian to notice me, while I was waiting Father and Lord Zeus went up to the Spectator Stand where they sat next to there wives. I couldn't wait to take Hadrian down a notch, he was so arrogant, he believed he was the best at everything even though I beat him at every competition we have ever had, he finally noticed me and rudely said "So you finally arrived, well better late than never" drawing his sword out to his starting position, I put my other hand on the ring and thought about it and then there was a white flash as I held Vengeance in my hands with the engraving glowing gold contrasting the darkness of the blade, I pulled Vengeance to the right side of my body and twisted my wrist so I was in position, I then said "Sure you don't want a shield or armor Harry" just by using the short hand version of his name he charged at me, I slowly walked forward as he charged and brought up vengeance to block the attack that was coming.
Hadrian when angered would always start the same, he would raise the blade above his head with both hands because the blade was unbalanced in his hand and he would get close and swing his sword down on me, I blocked the attack with the edge of Vengeance and kicked him in the stomach, hard enough to push him to his knees but not hard enough to break something, he lifted himself up again and charged at me with his blade at his side, as as he was close enough he swung his sword, I didn't even try to block it with Vengeance and decided to side step all his attacks, he then got so frustrated that he made a massive leap towards me and I slashed his knee with Vengeance, Hadrian landed on his knees with blood slowly dripping out of the wound, before I could even ask for him to yield he got up and did a jab at my stomach, using the first technique I had ever learned I blocked his attack and twisted causing the unbalanced sword to be sent flying out of his hands and into the wall in front of the gods, he had a new cut resting on top of hand from where I twisted, I pointed my sword at his head and said "Yield" he looked around for any way to get out of it which there wasn't so he sighed "I yield"
Vengeance transformed back into ring form and I said "Now that you have lost you better start learning how to treat women better along with being nicer to people otherwise you are going to get your butt kicked a lot which I know you hate" he looked down at his feet to keep the blush from being seen by the gods, he was quite clearly remembering the time I knocked him into Athena's temple while fighting and he ended up seeing Athena naked not that he hadn't seen her like that before not that he remembers that.
I walked up to where the gods were watching, most of them had flashed out already but there was still a few such as Lord Zeus, Lord Apollo, Lady Artemis and Lady Hera, I bowed to them and Artemis said "Thanks to you Perseus we won't have another Hercules on our hands, remember you need to come for those lessons with Rowena starting next week" she walked trough a door and slammed it shut before flashing out to join her hunters.
Thalia walked next to me and we exited the coliseum after a long, long conversation in which Hadrian had sulked off It was finally time to sleep, I walked trough to my room where the guards had added an extra 'bed' for thalia to sleep on, it was actually just a blue and black couch but she said it was better than anything she had on the run, which I would agree with remembering the few times I helped then they were quite literally sleeping on blankets that were dirty and ripped. On my bed was a couple letters from the few people that I could actually call friends outside of the hunters and my dead teachers, there was one from Cynthia Zabini a member of the house of Zabini in the magical world, her and her brother were demigod children of Dionysus which made sense seeing as there family was to do with business and her mother was assassin who tortured her victims (see why Dionysus fell for her now?), I also got a letter from a friend in Egypt who was wishing me happy birthday.
the letter from miss Zabini was inviting me to a meal out tomorrow at the New York main branch of their Pizza Express company along with Zoe, I quickly wrote an agreement with the time of 3:30PM, I walked outside my room where a guard was standing guard and I said "Take this letter and deliver it to either Cynthia or Blaise Zabini, that is a direct order" He nodded and grabbed the letter out of my hands walking off to deliver it like I asked, I walked back in and went into the bathroom where I got changed into some PJ's and got into bed exhausted from the very busy and hectic day.
5 hours later
A shake happened across the fortress waking me and most likely every member who lived here up, Either my dad was pissed or Poseidon was angry as Tartarus, I picked myself out of bed and stared where thalia had been sleeping the night before, she clearly had been awake a while as the couch was neatly made while thalia was for some reason adding more hair gel to her hair not that she needed it though, then again I have never used it and I got it over a year ago.
I flung on a pair of socks and shoes and ran out of the door picking my ring up as I did so and placed it onto my finger as I ran, Thalia got dragged to me and started to run beside me once she had gained her bearings, I just kept on running to the throne room. About a quarter of the way there Hadrian burst out of a corridor Obviously feeling the quakes in the ground like me, neither of us stopped to argue as we rushed to the throne room, he was wearing just a pair of boxers and had a shield in his left hand, a couple of moments later Zoe came tumbling out of the hunters corridor as a larger shake hit, it knocked the three of us down although Thalia wasn't affected, the three of us picked ourselves up. We were so close that the three of us got our items ready, me my sword, Zoe her bow and arrows then Hadrian with the shield, I slammed the door open to see my father chuckling lightly.
He looked up at the sound of the door slamming open and he asked "And what do you three think you are doing up this early with barley anything on?" Zoe just coughed slightly as Hadrian went bright red in the face from the comment directed at him, Zoe said "Lord Hades, we felt the fortress shaking quite badly so we wondered what was going on, in our haste we picked up whatever we could find clothes wise and weapon wise" that comment made the red in his face travel downwards across his body. my father shook his head and laughed like a mad man "Oh the shaking, that was just Poseidon having a temper tantrum as he has discovered that you are missing and your mum Perseus" oh that was good, that was so good.
my father looked at the three of us and said "He won't stop his tantrum for a while so I suggest the three of you train and Thalia you should try and use your fathers powers." we nodded and headed towards the coliseum train, I said "Yo Zoe want to spar" she grinned and replied "only if thou are ready to lose", as I passed a guard I told him to bring down our training gear from our rooms.
several hours later
I stood up from the table I was sitting at the same time as Zoe and smiled at Cynthia and said "Blaise, Cynthia, it has been good seeing you again, I apologize about having to leave so sharp but me and Zoe here have to go and finish the quest that my father gave us, I hope to see you soon the two of you, Hadrian please go down to my father's place once you have finished your meal as to continue your training" Cynthia gave me small smile back and said in a worried tone "Stay safe you two, Happy birthday for yesterday Perseus, now go and finish your quest" I nodded and walked out the restaurant with my cloak being gripped my left hand and thrown over my shoulder with Zoe doing the exact same thing. we swung our cloaks on as soon as we were outside and we began to run into the forest nearby for safety.
A couple of miles south was where my Father said my Sister Eve was being kept at, as we got closer Thalia decided to speak "As we were leaving the restaurant I felt electricity run trough me like it does when Hadrian his near me" I looked towards Zoe and told her to stop and repeated what Thalia had just told me, Zoe whispered "Well lord Zeus did say that she was visiting America this week trough some generous funding" I laughed, my Uncle could be a master manipulator when he wants to be. We started running again until I felt a connection trough the earth.
I singled for Zoe to stop running and we crouched around until the feeling was so strong that I basically knew she was here, I would soon be united with my sister Eve, I stood up and as I did so Zoe did as well, In front of me was a man who looked to be in his late 50's or early 60's he had neatly combed grey hair and a ragged beard, he wore a white and black T-Shirt along with some green Cargo pants, beside him was a girl about my age with dark brown going on black hair tied up in a bundle, she had a light sprinkle of freckles on her nose and across her cheek but not enough so it seems like too much, she wore a blue T-shirt with small cats on the front of it.
The man stood up and said "You might as well come out whoever you are, I can sense you" seeing no point in hiding in the buses, we did what he said and came out and he spat and said "Wait a 8 year old and a 17 year old?, humph I was expecting Albus to send someone who had at least finished school" I smiled at Eve before stating "We are not here on the orders of Albus Dumbledore, We are here on orders for Lord Hades, mine and Eve's father" he quite clearly didn't believe me but before he said anything I said "I can tell you don't believe me but ask you Granddaughter Eve about the connection she is currently felling between the two of us" her eyes widened in shock before she replied "Grandfather, he is correct I do feel a connection between the two of us, a family bond" he looked between us and asked "Okay prove to me your telling the truth by swearing on the river Styx" I nodded and said "I swear on the river Styx that I am a son of Hades and I am here to bring my sister eve to my father" A flash of lightning flashed across the sky as I made the vow. with one final look of goodbye Eve grabbed my hand and said "Don't worry Grandfather, I am sure I can still visit you regularly" she looked at me with her beautiful hazel eyes and I sighed "For now you can come and live with us in my fathers fortress in the underworld but any longer will be my fathers choice" He came to me and latched onto Eve and I latched onto Zoe and I ran into the shadows taking us back to my fathers throne room.
After a few hours of getting to know each other me and Zoe left to find Catherine, we burst out of the shadows a couple of miles south from the head MACUSA building where we saw some roman soldiers coming out with some kids and teens, we followed them from behind until they reached the Forrest and we crouched alongside them for a couple of miles, as we reached the center of the forest we ran forward and climbed up a tree just to jump down on the Romans has they were about to pass and I stated "We are on a quest for Lord Jupiter, he request that we gather up all of his children, so please release Cat Black into our care" the one who was quite clearly the Leader said "who are you! name yourself and your parentage!" I knew he wouldn't believe me so I pulled down my hood as a sign on good faith and said "I'm Perseus Jackson son of Pluto, I swear on the river timber that I am telling the truth" the leader then once the sky stopped flashing said "alright Cat you heard him, don't worry he is probably taking you to your father" a young girl who was slightly smaller than me walked forward and grabbed my hand and Thalia stated "Yep that's her, now let's get going, I am tired" I turned around and ran into the shadows that led right back into the dark.
A/N and there you are folks, another chapter released, I really do mean it when I say go back and reread the previous chapters, I hope you enjoyed and feel free to give my criticism
