Chapter 3

3rd person

"So, who wants to drive?" Apollo asked with a broad smile looking at the group of hunters and demi-gods then at the two mortals at the site of the young boy Apollos smile fell slightly but he quickly masked his reaction before anyone could notice "I DO I WANT TO DRIVE A FLYING CAR!"

Adam said practically bouncing up and down in excitement "I don't think that's a good idea Adam" Lynn spoke up next a concerned look on her face Apollo looked around once more looking at the daughter of Zeus "how about you, do you want to fly the sun?" Apollo flashed her his signature smile

causing the young demi-god to blush slightly. "N-no I'm good" Apollo sighed and looked at the mortal boy who was bouncing with excitement like a child "well kid looks like you're up"

"Ah great were all going to die" was Lynns only response everyone looked at her slightly concerned

Zoe's POV

I climbed into the very back of the bus with the rest of my sisters giving pointed glares that promised pain if any of the male pigs sat to close Bianca our newest sister sat beside me, I gave her a reassuring smile "don't worry well be fine"

I told her and eased her anxiety with a brave smile "but what if we crash?" Bianca asked worry lined her voice "don't worry ill protect us if that happens, I'm not the strongest Valkyrie for nothing you know" it was the mortal girl who spoke reassuringly

She chose a spot next to us giving a warm smile to everyone Apollo was practically drooling. Me and my sisters gave apollo a glare his face paled and he averted his eyes Lynn laughed and even I had to admit that her voice was melodic "is everyone seated?"

the stupid boy asked from the driver's seat "were all good back here just be careful with the thrott-" that was as far as Apollo got as the boy gunned it the cabin of the bus was full of screams as we rocketed towards the infernal camp. "I'M GOING TO KILL THIS STUPID MALE IF WE LIVE THOUGH THIS!"

screamed on of her sisters I'm pretty sure was Phoebe and I couldn't agree more the world was about to have one less male I would have smiled if I wasn't about to puke from all the evasive maneuvers he was pulling.

Adams POV

As we took of rocketing through the sky, I couldn't resist pulling a few fancy moves I saw in a show I watched together with Lynn I took a quick look in the review mirror and saw her, she gave me her signature smile which meant that I was in for a lecture when we landed, I shivered at the thought

I returned my attention to the sky just in time to evade a flock of Gease "sorry!" I called back I'm pretty sure I heard one of the hunters say they were going to kill me I laughed inwardly at that until I realized something i didn't know how to land 'yeah Lynns going to kill me for sure'.

I thought to myself, I could make out camp half-blood now 'welp I guess I'll just crash into the lake' I sighed out loud "what's wrong" Apollo asked very concerned "ah well I don't know how to slow down or land" I said sheepishly, and everyone's face went white as bone "don't worry ill just crash into the lake"

I said as I tried to slow the sun chariot down as much as possible *CRASH* I managed to slow the bus down enough that no one was seriously hurt, I stood up from the driver's seat and took a look in the back everyone was held in place by long vines that protruded from Lynns divine key I was relieved that no one was seriously injured Apollo jumped up shakily and said "alright you are never driving again" his face white he looked like he was about to puke I opened the doors of the shuttle bus so everyone could depart in the waist deep water everyone getting soaked except for the raven haired boy with sea green eyes he remained dry which was peculiar to me I made a mental note to get to the boy later. "Hey, hurry up we don't have all day!" Lynn called breaking me from my thoughts "right coming" I called back and took a step on the water instantly the water beneath my feet and a good ten feet froze solid

as I walked across and onto land, I saw the goat boy practically kissing the fresh soil saying stuff like how he'll never fly again "oh come on it wasn't that bad just a little turbulence is all" I retorted earning many death glares from the girls in silver and Lynn the former making me cringe slightly I knew she could be terrifying if she wanted to be, "you are lucky I love you oh so much but if you ever fly like that again you better hope you can run just as fast" Lynn said "ha-ha right got it" I replied.

As we walked to the center of camp the hunters had split up heading off to their cabin the demi-gods, Lynn and I met up with a man in a wheelchair who introduced himself as Chiron "You mean the guy who trained all those super cool and famous hero's!" the little boy replied

"Yes, that would be me" Chiron responded modestly he looked at me and Lynn "you must be the important guest I heard we'd be receiving welcome to camp half-blood" he stated welcomingly "thanks but why are we here exactly?" I asked "only the gods know I'm sorry"

he responded sadly "so what happens now?" Lynn asked "well if you want to join us for capture the flag tomorrow, we would be honored to have fine warriors such as yourself join us" Chiron said happily "that sounds-" *BEEP* *BEEP* "incoming transmission from the overseer-

ah Lynn good to see you I have a solo mission for you It's urgent" a screen resembling an iris message appeared Infront of Lynn.

3rd person

"What's the mission overseer?" Lynn responded professionally her face hardening as she walked off away from prying ears "I want you to investigate a string of disappearances in California, there have also been reports of assaults People being bitten though no one has been able to track the perpetrators down I suspect that we will have an eruption soon the question is who will turn into a Herrscher and if they'll lend their strength

to humanity good luck Valkyrie" *Beep* the transmission was ended signifying the start of her mission Lynn broke off into a dead sprint and jumped she flew at sub sonic speeds faster and faster until she was but a streak in the sky heading towards a doomed state, she silently vowed

to save as many as she could the gods world was about to be uprooted, she thought grimly

Percy POV

Chiron had asked me to go tell the campers that tomorrow we were playing capture the flag against the hunters one Ares kid told me to get lost before he made me leave, I held up my hands in surrender "alright I'm going" I said shaking my head.

It had suddenly dropped several degrees I shivered and looked around confused the barrier should have kept most of the winter weather out I turned around and saw the mortal, he was obviously not a normal mortal the cold air radiated off of him like an open freezer set to the coldest setting

"Jeez man how cold are you?" I asked the mortal "hmmm I think I'm at negative twenty degrees right now" he responded as if this was normal for him which thinking about it, I realized it probably was I shook my head and said "my names Percy nice to meet you" I held out my hand

realizing too late my mistake "sorry it's too dangerous for me to touch you at the moment but I appreciate the gesture my name is Adam, Adam Kaslana" Adam said giving me a bright smile that rivaled Apollos.

Time Skip

Zoe's POV

I awoke with a start covered in sweat I had just dreamed that my mistress was captured and was undergoing something awful her clothing was all torn and her once proud features were marred with pain and stress like she was given a burden she was struggling to hold

I informed my sisters what I saw each and every one of their faces where lined with worry "we have to go after her we can't just sit here and do nothing" one hunter said, "we should leave immediately who cares about this stupid camp! when our mistress is in danger!"

another shouted "I know you want to go rescue her, but we can't leave right now Artemis gave us orders to stay besides its capture the flag and I bet that stupid white-haired boy will participate I want to show him who's really in charge" I said with a feral grin

followed by several others as we left for the mess hall, we had breakfast and talked among our self's sending an occasional glare to any boy dumb enough to glance in our direction the white-haired boy sat on an empty bench by the hearth I thought I saw

Hestia try to talk to the mortal.

Time Skip

"Dose everyone understand the game plan?" I asked "uhm why am i guarding the flag alone?" Binca asked nervously "because by the time they get our flag well have already crossed the river and won the game" I responded knowing victory was at hand

the demi-gods were never able to beat us we always were superior to them Artemis made sure of that I smiled 'this victory is for you my lady' I prayed silently as the horn blew signifying the start of the game I dashed off into the forest towards the enemy's flag

Adams POV

*Few minutes before the game started*

The girl who was known as Thaila gave out orders using Percy, Nico and a few others to guard our flag I was supposed to guard the river so the hunters wouldn't get passed while Thaila said she would lead the charge against the enemy flag

I could see Percy didn't like the plan I sighed knowing the plan was a foolish one and decided to pitch my own plan "why don't you all just go, and I defend the flag alone, it'll work out better that way" I said confidently.

"Sorry but you're just a mortal you don't stand a chance against the hunters of Artemis alone" Thaila responded as if she knew all about what I was capable of already I heaved a heavy sigh and said "kid I could solo your entire pantheon don't tell me what I can and can't handle hell my own weapon makes Zeus's look like a firecracker" I retorted pulling out judgment of shamash and releasing its second form immediately i was surrounded by fire so hot the ground beneath me turned to glass the demi-gods jumped back in a hurry as I was consumed by the flames, I was slightly irritated first Lynn goes on a mission and know I'm left here with a bunch of cocky teenagers it's time to show these kids what a knight of house Kaslana is capable of. I stared down Thaila until she looked away admitting defeat she said "fine but if they get our flag im going to roast you alive" "Haha this is going to be fun"

I said as the horn sounded signaling the start of the game

I didn't have to wait long for my adversaries to find the flag I sensed at least five girls hiding in the trees and five more in the forest waiting to get the drop on me as if I was a mindless grunt I scoffed silently and said "come out I already know your there"

I could hear curses coming from the trees and bushes, but my eyes never left the young girl who walked out of the trees her bow trained on me a victorious smirk on her face soon the other girls joined, circling me

I realized they thought they had already won, and I could only gape in wonder just how cocky are these girls I thought to myself I snaped back to reality just in time to catch an arrow heading straight towards my family jewels "HEY I NEED THOSE!"

I yelled at the hunter responsible for the cruel attack the girl smirked and said "you won't be needing them for long you filthy pig" I sighed and said "so you want to learn the hard way then I take it little girl" the girl that spoke went red with rage and all I could think was

man, these girls can't take a joke can they. She never got to speak her sentence I pulled out my twin guns and proceeded to wipe out all the hunters who had been present except one who hadn't revealed herself, yet I shot shamash in her direction forcing her do abandon

her cover or be incapacitated by the shot as her sisters were "nice dodge!" I said closing the distance faster than she could react I gave her a quick punch to the gut effectively knocking her out I heard the twang of a bow somewhere in the tree line

behind me and just as fast I whipped around and blasted the arrow to smithereens before the projectile could reach its target.

"Tch! not bad for a boy" a girl replied I think her name was Zoe, suddenly she dashed towards me at speeds no mortal could hope to reach but I was a Knight of house Kaslana I was far from normal I dodged all her incoming attacks and parried some with my twin

guns I could tell Zoe was getting irritated and I decided to use that to my advantage "you're not bad yourself little girl just let me know when you're ready to start the real fight im getting a little bored" I stated in a cocky tone a smirk on my face, my trap was set, and she fell for it hook, line and sinker

I grinned knowing I had won.

Zoe's POV

"ARGH!" I was furious how dare this male insult me I was going to send him to hades I charged with all I had running at full speed ready to wipe that insufferable smirk off his face I was on him in the blink of an eye ready to strike him down, but my blow never landed

all I hit was air I looked around confused where did the mortal go finally, I looked up, but it was too late all I saw was his fist as it slammed into me knocking me out.

I woke up to the sound of the horn signaling the end of the game, did we win? I had hoped I was met with the cries of the hunters and the ecstatic cheers of the campers they had won their first game against us

I got up to comfort my sisters when the oracle came onto the field the shouts of joy and celebrations were cut short as the oracle looked right at me green mist pouring from its mouth

"SIX WILL GO WEST TO THE GODDESS IN CHAINS ONE SHALL BE LOST IN THE LAND WITHOUT RAIN

THE BANE OF OLYMPUS SHOWS THE TRAIL, CAMPERS, HUNTERS AND MORTALS COMBINED PREVAIL

THE TITAN'S CURSE MUST ONE WITHSTAND AND ONE SHALL FALL BY PARENTS HAND"

3rd person

"We must leave immediately" cried the hunters no longer caring about their loss in the game "we don't need the help of the campers especially a boy they will only slow us down"

cried another "Zoe what do we do?" Bianca asked frightened "we leave at once Chiron" Zoe responded she wouldn't go on a quest with these campers "SILENCE!" shouted Chiron

"We will discuss this in the war council room tonight" Chiron stated leaving no room for Debate "but-" Zoe tried to protest a look from Chiron shut her up.

"My dear Zoe you know better than to go against the prophecy" Zoe let out a sigh of defeat and said "fine but im picking who goes" she replied defiantly

meanwhile the young knight stood still in thought lost to the world 'A land without rain could it be?'
