Those Irish Demi-gods
This is my first fan fiction so don't flame that much please or I will toss you into the River Lethe.
Chapter: 2 I don't have a normal sword
(Before)I was lying on a bed while my calf throbbed I blond haired boy came up to me and gave me a glass of cream-colored liquid. I sipped from it carefully and the amazing taste reminded me of my dad's homemade cranberry sauce…. My Dad…
Sean's POV: No, no, no I can't have a panic attack here no flashbacks please, PLEASE! (PTSD Traumatic Flashback) I ran home from school towards the Irish embassy where my dad worked, I suddenly stopped. The Embassy was on fire… My Dad! I ran in ignoring cries of "Kid you can't go in there!" or "Stay back kid!" I saw my dad collapsed behind his desk. I ran towards him and pulled him towards the fire exit when something clattered on the floor I turned and saw a sword I grabbed it and me and my dad were grabbed by firefighters and pulled towards the exit and then in the shining sunlight my dada and I were hauled to the EMTs and then I saw several slash wounds on his chest "Kid I'm sorry but your is….dead." The EMT said in a pitying voice I turned away in sadness and ran into the woods where I always found solitude and strength I found none of that as I felt a searing, burning pain on my arm I looked and found a tattoo saying in Irish Gaelic "Beirtear laoch trí fhulaingt" In English that means "A hero is born through suffering" I took a closer look at the blade It was a metal that looked like copper with a greenish tint. The flashback faded away.
Percy POV: First when Annabeth and I heard that terrifying scream we rushed over. We saw a 12-year-old kid with reddish brown hair and cold gray eyes lying in a pool of his own blood. I saw a silver arrow in his calf. The wound bleeding profusely, he seemed to mutter something in a language that I didn't understand then he passed out we carried him to the infirmary. When we returned to the infirmary, His gray eyes were filled with sadness and mourning he was just curled up into a ball crying and I knew what had happened I had it after the 2nd giant war it is PTSD, I knew something tragic happened. I saw something on his arm it was a tattoo which in the language I couldn't understand it said "Beirtear laoch trí fhulaingt" I was shocked this kid is way too young for a tattoo. He noticed us staring and said" I'm fine." He said slowly, He "Where is my sword?" he asked franticly "Right here." Annabeth responded soothingly. It was a very odd sword not Greek and not celestial bronze. That kid clutched the sword tightly to his chest like it was his life source. "You need to see Chiron." Annabeth said looking at him then recoiled as she saw his mangled ear and scar across his eye. "Come on let's go and they went to the Big House.
Sean's POV: He limped his way to the Big House feeling nervous about going in. 2 men were sitting on the porch playing a card game of sorts. There was a centaur and a fat man playing that game, when the fat one said, "Annie bell who is this?" I cocked my head in confusion. The fat one started to get angry "WELL? Answer me boy! "He said. Annabeth quickly explained "He doesn't speak English." The centaur looked at me for a second then in perfect Irish Gaelic he said, "What is your name child?" I answered "Sean O'Carrick is ainm dom agus tá a fhios agam conas pinochle an imirt." (Plug that into google translate) "Ah I see well my name is Chiron and that is Lord Dionysus. Oh, and Percy put him in the Hermes cabin."" Ok Chiron." Percy responded. Percy led me to the Hermes cabin and announced, "Hermes cabin you have a new cabin member." "Regular or undetermined?" "Undetermined." Percy responded and walked off. Two brothers came to me and asked how I got through the heavy snowdrifts. I just shrugged my shoulders, and they ran off to who knows where, eventually they returned bringing me toiletries and a sleeping bag. I thanked them for their kindness and set up my stuff. By the time I'm done. It's dinnertime and my stomach rumbles at that thought of food I trudge with the other Hermes kids. When I got to the open-air pavilion, I saw someone wishing for the food they wanted on their plate and the drink in their goblets. The food and drink magically appeared, and I did the same thing wishing for some mashed potatoes and pork tenderloin I saw people putting food in a fire and I followed suit, but in my opinion, it was a waste of food.
After we ate our food, we all trudged to a campfire where we sang, but then there was the claiming. First was Katie Amour who was claimed as a daughter of Aphrodite then there was Jake Fort, lastly there was me, I was wondering who my mother was when a holographic image of a bow and a snowflake appeared above my head, Chiron mouth was wide open other campers were readying their weapons, when in a hoarse (Get it? Ha ha) voice Chiron said all hail Sean O'Carrick son of Norse goddess Skadi bringer of blizzards goddess of hunting and archery everyone had their weapons out waving them at me except Percy who to my astonishment pulled out his sword and stood in front of and said, "If you want to kill him you will have too through me first." Everyone slowly put down their weapons and sheathed them, but they were still glaring at me hatefully "That's enough everyone to your cabin!" Chiron said. But then a blinding flash The Fates appeared and said
The son of winter (Pausing to glare hatefully at me)
Must Report to the king of the Greek Gods.
Then they disappeared, everyone froze then Chiron and Argus herded them to their cabins. Sean went into the Hermes cabin but when the lights were turned off he heard a voice in his head " Sean my son, come to the forest I wish to speak with you."
