Anakin POV
When I woke up this morning I immediately grabbed my lightsaber and turned it on. My reason? I fell asleep in my bed. I woke up in a bed that was definitely not mine. My bed is definitely not blood red. I quickly got dressed, and was about to go find whoever owned this bed, when Obi-Wan walked in.
"Hello Anakin," he said casually.
"What is going on?" I asked. "Is this your idea of a joke?"
"You know I don't like jokes, Anakin," he replied. "And yes I know what's going on. Well, at least partially."
"So," I said, "what is going on?"
"We have been transported to Mt. Olympus by the Fates."
Well that made a lot of sense, not. "Mt. what?" I asked.
"Mt. Olympus," he answered.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Do you remember when we did planet Earth in Spatial Studies?" he asked.
Well that's a stupid question, of course I don't. "Nope," I answered.
"Well, on Earth, there was a civilization in Greece. There were multiple gods that this civilization worshipped."
"So," I asked, "why would we care?"
"Because that's where we are now. With the Greek Gods."
"Why?" I asked. "That doesn't make sense."
"We have a meeting with the gods in five minutes," Obi-Wan said. "That's why I came to get you. We're trying to figure out why we're here."
Five minutes later I was in the throne room surrounded by the gods. This whole place was creeping me out, but seeing a bunch of 20 ft. tall gods is just plain scary. Zeus decided to start our meeting.
"Not another one!"
"Zeus," a goddess – Hera, I think – scolded him, "these are our guests. We should treat them with respect."
"No, they must respect me," Zeus declared. "I am the king of the gods!"
"And yet he's younger than half of us," one of the gods muttered, so that only Obi-Wan and I could hear.
"Am I correct in assuming that you are with the girl?"
"What girl?" I asked, this is so confusing.
"Ahsoka," Obi-Wan whispered to me.
"Oh," I said. "Yeah, we're with her."
"She has been sent to Camp Half-Blood, disguised as a camper," Zeus told me.
"So… how does this camp thing work?" I asked. "What is Camp Half-Blood anyway?"
"Camp Half-Blood is a place where our children can go to train and be protected from the monsters," Zeus replied.
"Wait, your children?" I asked this was so confusing.
"Sadly, yes," Hera sniffed. "We, meaning them, sometimes still go down to earth and 'hook up' with mortals."
"Why is that such a big deal?" I asked.
"Our children attract monsters," Zeus explained, "so we send them to camp to be protected. Also to learn how to fight, which is equally important."
"So, you sent Ahsoka off to this camp," I said accusingly. "Why?"
"We believe that is where the Fates intended her to go when they sent her to us," Zeus replied evenly.
"So, what are you going to do with us?" I asked. This is starting to get really annoying. What are we even doing here?
"We will send you to camp as well," Zeus said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Anakin, this isn't helping," Obi-Wan told me.
"I don't care," I shouted. "Why do I have to go to this stupid camp?"
"That is what the Fates intended," Obi-Wan sighed.
"Fine," I said, "I'll go. What do we have to do?
"Well," Zeus said, "we should make you look like campers. Aphrodite, would you do the honours?"
"Sure," Aphrodite said. "Wo is it?"
I didn't get that, but apparently Zeus did. "Ares, I believe, and Athena," he said, pointing to me and Obi-Wan respectively.
Aphrodite started concentrating on us very hard, I was starting to get a slight tingly feeling when she announced, "Done."
They let me and Obi-Wan look at ourselves in the mirror. The first thing I noticed was that I looked… younger.
"What happened?" I asked. Then I glanced over at Obi-Wan, he also looked younger. He also looked different. He looked like someone I just couldn't place…
"Aphrodite changed your appearance to make you look younger," Zeus explained. "She also changed you a bit to more closely resemble your godly parent."
So that explained why Obi-Wan looked like someone familiar. He looked like Athena. But, "Wait, does that mean that we're now your kids?" I asked. |This would be great. Now whenever people ask me who my father is I can say Ares. So much simpler than making a fool of myself trying to explain that I didn't have one.
"No," Zeus said. Well there goes that idea. "You will simply have to pretend."
"So," I asked, "can we go now?"
"You are mostly prepared," Zeus agreed, "but you should learn some more about us."
"Read this book," Athena tossed us each a book. The title read, The Complete Guide to Greek Mythology, "It should clear a few things up."
"Thanks," I said, though I wasn't actually going to read it. Obi-Wan would. I could ask him about it if I ever needed to. It was better than actually reading the book.
As we walked back to the guest palace, Obi-Wan kept his nose stuck in the book Athena had given us. I thought heard him mumble something about the wrongness of marrying your sister or something like that. But then he moved on and I thought I had just imagined it.
We finally got back to the guest palace. There we were dressed in some clothes that were more appropriate for 'kids our age'. We stood in the middle of the room waiting. At first nothing happened. Suddenly I felt a shiver in my toes, like I had when Aphrodite had changed us. I looked down and my toes were covered in a glowing light, which was quickly spreading up my legs.
I closed my eyes as the light passed over my head, and the world went dark.
A/N: I would appreciate any reviews. I have a general idea of where this is going, but if you have a suggestion, feel free to comment or PM me.
