Thank you for all your comments I enjoy reading them almost as much as i enjoy piecing together this story. Reminder I own nothing involving the characters of any Percy Jackson Related series.
Chapter three
*Seven years old*
~Orion~
The cool night air was still and peaceful with only about an hour left before it was lights out. His siblings and him were enjoying the summer night when he felt something change. Thea must have felt it to because her body snapped up and turned in the direction of the hill. Percy and Oddie were reaching for their weapons and her heard the sound of Kili's shifting feet. It felt like a storm. ^It's not suppose to rain tonight...^ Percy muttered softly. He felt Oddie signing in his hand and knew that Achilles was telling the others the plan. -= Orion, Theadosia out front Odessa in the middle Perseus with me in the back will come around the side if needed.-= Nodding my head i stretched my limbs for a moment before we took off. We trained for this everyday there was no room for mistakes, when our brother was like this he knew what he was doing. Percy was in the back with him do to his tendency to rush in head first Odessa was the fastest and could alternate between front and back if need be Thea would cover me while i did my part and Achilles would make sure that all of us came home. It was a matter of trust and there wasn't a doubt that we trusted each other.
Thea and i crouched down on the crest of the hill while she felt the vibrations in the earth. I felt her sign the numbers to me and softly i told the others. ~+ Three humans, one satyr, six cyclopes and at least a dozen hell hounds fifteen at most.~+ The atmosphere around Odessa and Perseus seemed to vibrate with anticipation waiting for their orders. Achilles touched both mine and Theadosia's shoulders it was the signal to cover them. I have no idea what he signed to the others but it didn't matter we had our assignments and had faith that we would win. Hopefully the people we were going to help wouldn't get in our way. Being sloppy was not tolerable.
+Theadosia+
Orion and i stood at the top of the hill and watch our other siblings slide smoothly down to the base waiting for mine and Orion's signal. My eyes soon locked onto our targets as they were being chased by our soon to be prey. I Squeezed Orions hand twice when they were within shooting range and ducked down to press my hands against the earth. My Brother Summoned water molecules from the air and formed a bow and arrows while i made a war hammer from the earth. One of our targets was summoning lightning at least that would help our siblings fight. I nudged Orion's leg and just like that it started.
Orion shot arrows at unpredictable speeds while our siblings dashed out into battle. Achilles sliding into the lead preventing a cyclops from killing the satyr and taking down two hell hounds as well. Perseus covered for the humans as they helped the satyr up and started leading them up the hill. I saw one of the demigods still out there and hissed. But Odessa had it covered she froze the enemies surrounding them's bloodstream so that they couldn't move. I sighed in relief before i lifted the hammer to mu shoulder and started spinning in place. On the forth spin i released it into the air sending it crashing into two cyclops's as they tried to attack Achilles. Once Orion and him had dispatched of the last of the monsters Achilles swiftly walked back up the hill behind Odessa who was dragging a teenage girl behind her. I tapped Orion's neck indicating it was over. Allowing his weapon to disappear in thin air Percy gazed at us as the three demigods huddled together eyeing us wearily.
^Perseus^
Yeah to say the least these new campers were not happy ones even though Grover was happy to see us, There were three of them altogether the boy looked the oldest though not by much blond hair, blue eyes nothing really that screamed his godly parentage. The oldest girl was deferentially into the rock and roll look black hair, electric blue eyes and a band t-shirt to match all of her leather bracelets on her arms. I wasn't sure but something felt off about her like i should keep my distance. Probably due to the lightning earlier, no doubt that she's a daughter of Zeus with that up her sleeve. The youngest was also a girl but she had blond hair and grey eyes almost silver in the moonlight, daughter of Athena no question there. It's pretty boring how they all share the same coloring blond hair grey eyes why can't Athena have a red head thrown into the mix or something? Oh well, that's her choice i mean it's unoriginal thinking but whatever.
"Who are you?!" Snapped the wanna-be rocker, =Shouldn't we be asking that i mean you basically came running up our drive way.= Ah Odessa was being sassy tonight probably because she is upset that they almost ruined the plan. "Hey, calm down this is no way to thank them for their help. Without them who knows what would have happened tonight." The boy moved in between the two girls, poor guy one wrong move and he'll be thrashed. "Hi my name is Luke, thank you for helping us back there. This is Annabeth,-" He gestured to the blond girl before continuing. "And that's Thalia, sorry about the suspicion but it's just been the three of us for a while..." He offered his hand but Odessa was not having it today.
=I am called Odessa and you will follow me to the big house to speak with the boss my siblings will be heading to our cabin.= And there's our que to leave. Orion nodded and both him and Achilles took Theadosia's hands and set off. ^Odessa-^ I stop myself as i gaze into her dark blue eyes. She huffed and waved her hand. I smiled and looped my arm with hers. =Now walk quickly, it's almost curfew and i'm sure others have heard of the ruckus by now.= I suppress a snicker as my beloved sister acted snootily at our new arrivals. "Umm how old are you exactly?" Odessa and i share an amused look before I turn to face Luke and reply ^Oh tomorrow will be our what Seven hundredth birthday sister?^ The trio stiffened as Odessa responded smoothly. =No you lost count after seven hundred brother dear we are much older than that. Remember we are two thousand five hundred and fifty-six as of tomorrow.= ^Oh ya, but who can keep track with all those years going by, I doubt that most immortals care any more after two hundred.^
"Are you really that old?" Questioned Annabeth. We stopped on the steps of the big house and i smiled at her. ^Miss Annabeth, I have seen the rising and the fall of empires, I have witnessed countless battles of which i have participated in on the winning and loosing sides. I have spoken to kings and peasants alike and have completed many quests and errands for the gods along the way.^ I wasn't going to tell her that these were random lines from movies i had seen. This was just to funny to watch her face light up in prospect of my words. Odessa walked inside to explain the situation while i distracted her and her companions. ^Did you know that the queen of the Amazons a group of warrior women resides in Seattle? What with the gods moving to America it certainly seems wise for them to relocate as well.^ "You've met them?" ^Once...though don't ask me who the current queen is because i'm sure the ruling has switched by now.^ I shuddered remembering the Orange jumpsuits and collars. ^Not very...suitable for men though seeing as they are used as slaves.^ =Perseus= My sister called.
"You're the Perseus!" Annabeth squeaked. ^No, i will never be like him.^ Was my reply as i opened the door to the big house. ^Down the hall and on your right. I have to check on my other siblings now if you'll excuse me.^ I quickly rushed back to the cabin shaking my head lightly at the thought. Did i feel bad about telling her that stuff? No... most of it was true aside from the age i had seen battle, i had fought in it, I witnessed the failing of an empire as well, so i didn't lie I just didn't tell her that it had all happened in the span of a week instead of years. That was a really crazy quest.
=Odessa=
I sat on the arm of Mr. D's chair in the parlor as i watched the newbies come in. I didn't say a word throughout the entire conversation or rather argument that the three demigods had with the two immortals in the room. =Dee, you are going to have the new cabin set up tomorrow aren't you?= I softly ask the god of madness spun towards me his face still purple from yelling so much. My gaze did not waver though. "Yes, yes the new cabin for the unclaimed will start it's construction tomorrow...Olive" His face was better now but i still would not tolerate such insult. He wasn't startled by my slap but the three demigods were. =You know my name, don't start pretending that you've forgotten it now. I swear to you aside from your children I will be the one name that will never fade from your mind. You will remember me Dionysus!=
He reached out and touched my cheek wiping away...tears? I hadn't realized that i was crying. Gently he lifted my head and our eyes were locked purple meeting blue. "Truly your eyes are the scariest feature about you." He murmured, this was his way of showing me that he would remember more than just my name when i passed. That made me so happy. Don't get the wrong idea, we weren't in love i was seven at the time for Zeus's sake. No i knew that despite what he said he would always see me as his daughter and in a way i wanted so badly for him to be my father. "Show them to their cabins now brat." I scoff at his term of endearment and waved for them to follow me. They stared at me in shock before following me out the door.
"He didn't smite you or turn you into something. Why?" Thalia asked as we made our way down to the cabins. =Because he didn't want to. He has his reasons.= I stop in front of cabin eleven and knock on the door. =Max, I got a new brother for you.= Max opened the door his red hair messy and his weasel like nose twitched as he gazed at Luke. "Hey were a little full in here but you can bunk with me until we can get you your own spot." =Construction starts tomorrow Max= Max grinned and lead Luke inside. Moving on i lead them to cabin six where this time i kicked the door open =Rita! Wake up you've got a new sister!= I screamed loudly. The Athena kids groaned as one stumbled out of bed and pointed out an empty one her blond hair looking like a haystack. "Just put her in that bunk Seaweed brain." I grabbed a random book from the floor and flung it at her. =Come on egg head even max was more welcoming then you to his newbie show some manners= I scold as she flops back into bed. =Well you heard her, that's your bunk. Don't worry their not always like this, they've just been stressed out over a big project this week.= ruffling Annabeth's hair I lead Thalia to cabin one. =Its dusty, nobody's lived here for a while. But on the bright side that means you don't have any siblings to bug you. I'll come back in the morning with a schedule for you and you can ask all the questions you want over breakfast, but if you get too lonely in here there's always room in cabin three= I pointed it out to her before walking towards it and going to my own bed. Finally some sleep.
