Chapter 1- Best Birthday Ever
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HoO or any of Rick's books for that matter. But this is my first story so please be nice. Takes place the summer after Blood of Olympus. The Trials of Apollo do not happen. Let's just say Zeus forgives Apollo. Because I really didn't want Jason to die and I think it suits the ideas I have for this story better if those events don't take place. And personally I think Meg is a really bland character and the plot of that series is stupid. Should have stopped after HoO. Enjoy!
Percy:
The day started as it normally started. Annabeth banged on my door for a minute straight telling me that it's almost breakfast. I groaned in my bed before telling her something about not being hungry and to let me sleep lest the two time hero of olympus would whoop her.
"BS seaweed brain you know you couldn't! And I hope you're decent 'cus I'm coming in!" She then opened the door and flipped on the lights. "Ew what's that smell! Reeks of a teenage boy in here!"
"Wise Girl please let me sleep." I grumbled. She walked over to my bunk and sat on my legs. She stared at me with a smile.
"Happy birthday Percy." Annabeth said sweetly to me.
"Thanks Wise Girl! Kinda surprised you remembered." She just laughed.
"Very funny. Of course I would remember." She then started standing up and quickly falling down onto my legs. "Now get up! Get up! Get up! GET UP!" She yelled.
"Ow my poor legs. Still sore from leg day yesterday. Now I know you got cake Annabeth, but would you please stop jumping on my legs with it? And I don't mean birthday cake."
Annabeth chuckled before leaning down, giving me a quick kiss, and leaving my cabin. I rolled out of my bed onto the floor with a thunk, and then wriggled out of my bed sheets, did the ol' butt scratch and yawn and walked into the bathroom. I took a quick rinse in the shower and magically dried off. Just one of my many benefits of being a son of Poseidon. Then I shrugged on one of my Camp Half-Blood shirts and put on some shorts, and finally walked out to where all the smells of pancakes were coming from.
Life has never been better. Gaea was a very tough enemy, and the camp suffered. We lost many campers, and I think of them every day. It's the life and obstacles of being a demi-god. But now we are in a time of peace. We have gained in campers all that we lost and more keep on coming. Technically I'm not even a camper anymore, as I am 18, or actually 19 as of today. Chiron asked me if I would like to come to staff the camp as a swordsman instructor this summer, I agreed and asked if Annabeth could stay as well. He of course, agreed. We both decided to stay in our respective cabins rather than the big house though.
After the Giant War, the Gods brought us up to Olympus for awards. Including me and the 7, Nico, Reyna, and coach Hedge. Coach Hedge was granted a spot on the Council of Cloven Elders, and a guarantee to be turned into a plant of his choice upon his death. Reyna's reward was a ring that made people want to obey her to help with her role as praeter, along with Mars' and Bellona's blessing. Nico got increased powers and a job in the underworld with his father. Frank was no longer bound to the stick, and Hazel was no longer cursed. Leo got dragon Festus back, along with female Festus which was sort of weird, and a cool forge at his bunker 9 at Camp. Piper was given an enchanted version of Katropis that shrunk into a hair clip, and enhanced charm speak. Jason got granted his position of Pontifex Maximus and the permission of the Gods to do as he liked with the temples and such. Annabeth was blessed by her mom, and Aphrodite because she liked her, and given a super cool dagger that was also a pen because of me. Now it is time for me. The Gods once again, asked me to become immortal. This time an Olympian. I once again, denied to the surprise of no one. Zeus just sighed and asked what I would want then. I asked for Hestia and Hades to be given thrones, which they were, and for Athena's approval of me and Annabeth. She nodded and said she would be glad to have her daughter married to a man such as me whenever I decided to propose. To which I blushed to.
Me and Annabeth had a wonderful senior year at Goode. I managed to graduate thanks to Annabeth, and Annabeth finished as valedictorian. She also got prom queen because she's a bombshell of a woman, Aphrodite's blessing made her that much more, and a genuine person that everyone loves. People tell me I'm lucky and I 100 percent agree with them. Other girls that are hot at school have a pea brain but Annabeth is the total package. I love her more than anything. There was a reason she was my anchor before I lost the achilles curse. This next school year we will be making the cross country trip to New Rome to go to college there. I am excited!
I walk into the dining pavilion and go to the head table to sit next to Chiron, as I work here now. It is still really strange not sitting at the Poseidon table. Annabeth still sits at the Athena table, but we wouldn't have sat together anyway. I look around and see blue pancakes everywhere. I guess in honor of my birthday. My mouth starts watering, and my heart feels good to see how much everyone cares about me.
People see me and quiet down. Then all at once the campers all yell out "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PERCY!" I give my signature smile and perform a mock bow for everyone. I blow a kiss to Annabeth and sit back down in my chair. A nymph comes and lays down a stack of pancakes in front of me. I go and sacrifice my food before digging in. Chiron strikes up a conversation.
"How are you spending your birthday my boy? You have the day off you know." He asks.
"I haven't really put much thought into it. I've been busy organizing with Annabeth where we are going to be staying in New Rome, and car rentals and hotel bookings for our trip. So I haven't had much time to think about it. Maybe Annabeth has something prepared. She is a daughter of Athena after all. They're always prepared."
"That they are. That they are indeed. I have heard Mr. D mumbling sorts of things about a party and how he needs to find some good wine. Hopefully he isn't planning on giving the wine to the campers." Mr. D stood up and tapped on his glass just then. "Maybe he's going to say something about the party." Chiron said.
"Alright you pests quiet down! I have an announcement to make to you all. At the request of Elizabeth, I am throwing the birthday brat, Perry Johnson down there at the end of the table there, a party. It will be located on the beach at dinner time. You are all asked to come, if you don't I don't care. That is all." As soon as he finished there was a buzz of excitement. There are rarely ever like actual parties that the whole camp is invited to be a part of. The Aphrodite cabin immediately got up and ran to their cabin screaming about getting ready, even though the party wasn't for about 10 hours. I caught Annabeth's eyes and winked at her before mouthing thank you. She nodded along with owning a gleaming smile. A party, on the beach. That sounds like a lot of fun. This obviously entails swimwear, volleyball, camp fires, groups of campers huddling around talking about who likes who, who should or shouldn't be wearing a bikini, and of course barbecue. Yummm.
After breakfast I run into Nico, the son of Hades. There was still a little awkwardness after he came out as gay to me, and that he had had a crush on me. I still squirm when I think about it. Nico is my cousin.
"Howdy Nico. What's new?" I asked. He hasn't been at camp all summer. Hades has been training him for his duties in the underworld.
"Howdy? Perce you've lived in New York your whole life." He said with no smile or no laugh. Still as serious as ever Nico. Don't change.
"Hello gets boring sometimes. So how's the underworld? Still as beautiful as it was the last time I was there?"
"No even more pretty. Hades has been injecting estrogen and is getting a new feminene sense. Persephone loves it. Apollo is coming down to perform the sex change surgery next week." He joked with plenty of sarcasm.
"Dang never would have expected that out of Hades. Nor would I have expected a joke out of you death boy!" Guess he's not so serious.
"I'm in a good mood Percy. I got a break from my training so I came up here. Annabeth IM'd me about the party. And The training is nothing weird besides having to do Hades laundry. The underwear my father wears is nothing you would care to know. I just hunt down escaping souls and practice with my powers."
"Sounds like a good time. I'll catch up to you later Nico, at the party. I'm going to hangout with Annabeth for the rest of the day since I'm going to be with other people at the party." I told him. He nodded. We bro hugged and went our separate ways.
My relationship with Nico is an interesting one. We have had many trials and tribulations in the time we've known each other. We have fought, especially after Bianca, we have laughed, especially after the Titan War, and we have had many experiences together beyond your average mortal, or even demigod friendship.
I turn around and look back at him walking away. I see a pinky ring on his right hand. He's Italian of course he does! I chuckle a little bit and continue walking. He doesn't have an Italian accent though for some reason. I mentally shrug and realize even if I knew the answer I literally wouldn't care.
I am heading to the Athena cabin where I would assume my girlfriend would be. I was right. She was sitting in the grass criss cross some feet away from the cabin, in a sun spot, reading a book. She looks up and smiles when she sees me, brushes a lock of blonde hair out of her gorgeous face and waves me over.
"Hey Percy! Just let me finish this chapter and then we can figure out something to do." I make a mock hurt face.
"Is this book more important than me?"
"No, but if something important was happening to you I'd put the book down. We have almost the whole day together. So come on and sit behind me. I want to lean on you while I read."
"Fine, but only 'cus you're you wise girl." I sit down behind her and pull the back of her head into my chest. She allows me too and twists a tiny bit to get into a more comfortable position. I sniff the fragrance coming off the top of her head and smile. This is the best girl in the world, and she loves me and I love her. We are going to move to New Rome, have fun in college, get good jobs in the city, and raise up small little kids in the city. What do you call a child of two demigods? A semigod? Who knows.
"What's the book Annabeth?" I ask, getting bored of the silence.
"The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy. I think this family might give our godly family a run for their money on who's more dysfunctional."
"Considering Zeus married his sister I'd say you are accurate."
"Now shush I'm almost done." If Annabeth says it, I do it. So I shut my mouth and just started playing with her hair. We sat there for a few more minutes before Annabeth leaned out of my chest, grabbed her bookmark, and set the book down. She turned around and looked at me.
"What do you want to do now?" I asked. "I could get Chiron's old tape player and we could watch an old movie in the big house?"
"Maybe later. I stayed up late last night going over the final details of the party with Mr. D. It is extremely nice right here in the grass. Let's just lean back and take a nap and soak in each other's presence. I want to use your chest as a pillow."
I agreed of course. So she did just that and pushed me down into the soft grass and laid there. It was still morning. About 9:00. We both quickly fell asleep even though campers were looking at us. Morpheus luckily never joined us in that pile in the grass.
Time Skip
We awoke to people standing over us speaking.
"You know I take credit for them." Clarrise said.
"Why would you have credit for Percy and Annabeth being together, Clarrise?" Piper asked.
"On Prissy's birthday a few years ago, after the Titan War, I threw them in the lake. Connor got a funky camera that the Hephaestus cabin made, and took a picture of them sucking face at the bottom of it. Prissy keeps it in his wallet."
"You get credit for throwing them in the lake?" Jason asked.
"Yes did you hear anything I just said Jason or were you too busy looking at how high Annabeth's shirt had come up while she was sleeping."
That quickly got Annabeth up, who pulled down her shirt back over her bra. She blushed and I could tell she was embarrassed.
"Can you guys not talk as if we're not here? We can obviously hear you. No matter how heavy of a sleeper I am of course I would wake up." I tell them.
"Sorry." The 3 of them sounded out.
"Don't you have campers to bully Clarrise? I heard a son of Hermes came in today. Why don't you shove his face in a toilet?" I tell her with an annoyed tone.
Her face makes an "O" and she jogs off looking for the new camper that she had neglected to give her ritual to. We all chuckle as we watch the big girl go.
"How much do you weigh in at Perce? She must be the same size as you if not more." Jason says to me.
"I'm up to 205, all muscle mind you." I flash a grin at him and flex my biceps.
Jason lets out a short whistle. "Hot dang Perce. I'd say she's more my size then."
"190 small ass." I grumble loud enough for him to hear.
"Small ass? It's 15 pounds!"
"Yeah man and that 15 pounds could run you over Small Ass."
"Bring it on big man and we'll see who's laughing!" Jason says, always eager for a competition no matter how petty.
I shrug off my shirt and slap my stomach, also always eager for a competition. "Ok Small Ass no powers, no weapons, no punches or nut shots let's have us a good ol' fashioned tussle, yeehaw!"
"BOYS! BOYS! BOYS!" Annabeth and Piper shout. Us shirtless 'hombres' look over. "Can't you do this later?" Annabeth says.
"It'll only take me a minute babe." I tell her, confident I would whoop the small little 'niño'.
She exasperates and throws her hands up. "Men!"
Me and Jason square up in wrestling stances in the grass. I'm looking over him. He has an inch or two of height over me, and in this match my shorter and stockier build, relative to him of course, should give me an advantage. I was counting on that. He is about 6 foot and 3 inches, while I'm about 6 foot and 1 inch.
I run at his waist hoping to tackle him, and I nearly do it but he shrugs me off before I'm able to wrap him up. We are both still standing. I snorted. He's kinda shifty, but I am too. You don't survive to 19 as a demigod not being fast on your feet. So we go back to circling each other again. Then we both come at each other again. We grapple for a moment before I manage to get Jason in a headlock. He struggles against me with his face pressed up against my nipple.
"Why don't you give it a suck Jason." I grunt out. He then jabs me in the side trying to get me to let go. I resist. Next he puts his hand on my back and pushes me into him. I fall forward before catching myself, he shifts away. I turn around and run at him, it catches him off guard and I stick my arm out and clothesline him. He falls on his back, winded. But he quickly gets up. I try to get into a grapple again, but we each shove each other's hands off.
I run at him again but he completely jumps over my head. I turn around and stare at him. Back to the circling. This time he runs at me, but I crouch down, stick my forearm into the air, and when he hits my arm I shove it up and he goes flying over me. I quickly grab his legs and get him into a pin position. He tries to struggle against it but I know I've got him.
Piper comes and slaps the back of my head, getting me to let go. "Alright Percy you pinned him. Are you happy now?"
"Yes ma'am." I turn to Jason and give him the suck it sign. He smiles, still breathing heavy, which I am also.
"Goon one bro. You got me." He says. I nod and walk over to Annabeth.
"Wow wow wow good job Stud. You beat Jason in who's the bigger hunk of meat." Annabeth says in a sarcastic tone, but I know her and she's proud that I won. Jason is a very strong demigod.
I flex at her. "Yeah I got some help from these bad boys."
She just rolls her eyes. "Ok you don't need a shower, but why don't you just run into the lake real quick and get the man sweats off of you."
"Good idea. I'll see you at lunch Wise Girl." I wink and then start making my way towards the lake, occasionally dapping my forehead with my shirt. I got a few comments from Aphrodite girls asking me to let them bear my children, but besides that I was left alone.
Jason is about the closest thing to my brother. Nico would be if he didn't keep himself so distant and aloof. Jason is surprisingly humble for a son of Jupiter/Zeus. If it wasn't for that aspect, we would probably be rivals rather than brothers. But we compete all the time and sometimes he wins and sometimes I win, but there are never hard feelings between us. Everyone was surprised he wasn't offered godhood including me. Maybe the fates have other plans for him.
I walk into the lake to soak for a few minutes, to ease my muscles and wash off. That's why it really isn't fair for me to be on the swim team. I don't get tired while I'm swimming. In fact the longer I'm in the pool the better I feel. The coach has talked to me about competing in the olympics, and said he could talk to some people and help me figure out how to do that. He even compared me to Michael Phelps. Everytime I just laugh and say I'm not interested. I already have enough attention from monsters, I don't need to be a world wide celebrity. Only fools want to be famous. It doesn't make you happy and it's more of a hassle than it's worth. I would rather have a peaceful rest of my life with the woman I love, although I know it won't be peaceful, and hopefully the rest of my life is a long time and not short.
"Perseus! My son!" Poseidon says out of nowhere, shocking me. I jump off of the rock I am sitting on at the bottom of the lake, and put my hand to my heart.
"Geez Dad! You scared me!" I shout.
"I thought you demigods had ADHD? You are supposed to be alert and ready for anything Son."
"I had only been down here thinking for a few minutes, which is about the length of my attention span." That causes us both to chuckle, mostly because it's true.
"I am here to wish you a happy birthday Perseus. You have made me a very proud father. I haven't had a child to boast about on Olympus in ages." After that he lets out a resounding, booming laugh. I'm sure you could have heard it on the surface.
"Thanks Dad that really makes my day. I mean it."
"I'm happy to hear it." Poseidon says, but then he looks down with a sad expression. His face looks like he actually is a few thousand years old.
"Is there something wrong?" I say worried.
He looks up and just stares at me. I sit there uneasy for a moment. I'm getting really worried at this point. "No there isn't anything wrong." He says. "Go and enjoy your birthday. Spend time with Annabeth, and your friends, and have fun at your party."
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "That's a relief. You had me worried there. And don't worry, I'm sure I will have an amazing time. And Annabeth says she has something special planned for me after lunch."
"Ohhhh yes I'm sure she does!" Poseidon yells out, back to his normal happy self. Kind of a quick mood change. But, I'm unpredictable as well. Like Father like Son. Then he flashes away. I chuckle and start making my way back up to the surface.
That was a really odd meeting. Even odd for a godly meeting. I wonder if I'll ever figure out what that was all about. I reach the surface and pull myself out of the lake and back onto the ground. A couple dryads and look over and smile. I smile back. I put my shirt back on and will all of my clothes to dry. The horn sounds for lunch and I once again smile. The food here is really good and I love food. That's why I weigh 205 pounds.
I get my food, make a sacrifice, and sit down at the head table. Chiron is already there, like always. I look over at the Athena table and see Annabeth and a few of her sisters, plus Piper standing up over them, all talking. They are also giggling a lot. One of her sisters points at me, and Annabeth looks over. I make eye contact with my girlfriend and give a small wave and a blown kiss. She blushes for some reason and waves back before looking away. That was really odd too.
"Do you know why meals are some of my favorite times of the day here my boy?" Chiron says to me, striking up a conversation like at breakfast.
"Why Chiron?"
"Because I get to sit and speak with you of course! You are the single most interesting demigod I have ever had the opportunity to come across, and that says a lot. Poseidon may be your father, but I love you like a son." He smiles at me and shifts a little awkwardly in his seat.
I lean over across my seat and hug him in his wheelchair. I wipe away a small tear before speaking. "That is very kind of you to say. I also love you like a father Chiron. I am very lucky to have had you as a teacher and a mentor." We hug again before going back to eating. We make small talk for the rest of lunch. He mostly asks about what me and Annabeth are going to be studying at New Rome, what we expect that to be like, and the rest of our future.
Meal times are also one of my favorite times too. Not just because of Chiron and the awesome food, but because I get to look around at all the faces of the campers. Everyone is so happy here. Out in the world everyone is on edge, but here they get to live free and almost be teenagers for a while.
A lot of veteran campers that are my age are no longer campers and didn't come back for the summer, although I assume they would visit at some point. Travis went across the country to play on the lacrosse team for Oregon State University, Connor still has a year or two left before he turns 18 though. Katie is out working on a farm that Demeter already has a few of her kids working at. Chris and Clarrise are spending their last summer as campers. Malcolm is studying at Yale. Pollux is spending his last summer here. Will has two summers to go.
Jason, despite being roman, decided to spend his last summer here with Piper. Then they would also go to study in New Rome. Frank, now being praetor, has to stay in New Rome, so of course Hazel did as well. Reyna is a praetor too. Leo sleeps in bunker nine full time now with Calypso, who spends nearly all of their time cooped up in there going over ideas for their shop. Thalia is of course a hunter of Artemis, and Nico as I said before stays in the underworld most of the time.
After lunch Annabeth waves me over. "Let's go watch that movie in the big house now!" She says.
"What about the surprise?" I ask.
"After the movie."
"Oh ok."
"What movie?"
"I dunno. Do you have an idea?"
"Let's just look through what Chiron has on tape." So we walk through the big house and take out a small box of tapes Chiron keeps.
"They're all old Disney animations? Why?" I wonder out loud.
"Who kno- OOO! OOO! The Lion King! We have to watch this! Remember when everyone laughed at me for never seeing this?" Annabeth cries out.
"Yeah sure. Now my mother won't be here to fast forward through the part when Mufasa dies. Everyone laughed at me for that." So we blow the dust off of the tape player and start the movie.
Me and Annabeth snuggle into the only chair in the room. It's supposed to be for one person, but it's a sturdy chair and we want to cuddle.
Time Skip
Me and Annabeth finish up the movie and walk out of the big house, delighted in the fact that it lived up to the hype. Even though it is a rated G children's movie we were still able to watch it and enjoy it. Although I'm glad my mother fast-forwarded through Mufasa's death. That would have scarred me as a child!
"Now can you show me what my surprise is?" I whine to my girlfriend.
"It's your gift Seaweed Brain. While you were in the lake I put it in your cabin. Piper helped me get it. So let's go to your cabin." She leads us off to my cabin.
When we got there I went to turn on the light but she stopped me. Without saying anything she lights a few candles for ambiance as people like to call it. "Ah romantic. I'm going to assume this is a special gift?" I say. She doesn't respond. Just gets on her knees and picks up a tiny wrapped box underneath one of the beds. She walks over and hands it to me. I take off the lid and I don't see anything at first. It is kind of dark. Then I do see something and pick it up out of the box. I look at it for a few seconds, puzzled. Then I realize what the item is. "A condom?" I ask her, perplexed.
She comes and sits down next to me on the bed. She reaches around the back of my head and pulls me in for a deep kiss. After a few seconds she pulls away an inch. We sit there still with our eyes closed, our lips nearly touching, when she whispers to me. "For your birthday present Seaweed Brain, I give you me…"
"...Holy sh*t."
Time Skip
I just got to the beach. I am all freshened up and lively, because I took a shower. I am only wearing swim trunks because I plan on going swimming, and it is 90 degrees out. I see Leo, Calypso, Jason, and Piper standing in a circle. Piper sees me and winks. I blush and walk over.
"Hey Perce, how goes it? Get any good presents?" But the way he said it I could tell he didn't know. Piper leans over and whispers in his ear. He gasps, and then says again but a lot more enthusiastically "HEYYYYYY PERCE, HOW GOES IT?"
"Never been better!" I am extremely happy right now. Nothing could take down my mood.
"I can't relate. Calypso ain't ever take the lil' Leo out for a ride."
"And won't ever if you refer to your genitals as the lil' Leo." Calypso said angrily.
"Ok going quickly past that, how about a game of beach volleyball?" Jason suggested. Everyone quickly agreed, and stripped down to swim shorts and bikinis, to get ready for the game.
Once we got to an open court, Jason went around looking for a ball. That gave me the chance to look around and see all the campers enjoying themselves. There were some elementary school children building sand castles, middle schoolers doing various activities like eating, talking, and playing games. The smallest group, being high schoolers, were mostly all grouped in one area around a few camp fires eating and talking. Everyone looked so happy. That me ecstatic. I will need to say thank you to Mr. D later.
Jason came back and saw we had uneven teams. "Calypso since you don't know how to play why don't you sit over there and watch." He said. She nodded and sat down in the sand. That left me to be on Leo's team.
"Alrighty Mr. Valdez, hop on my back and I'll carry you." I joked to him.
"Very funny aquaman. But I'll surely be able to handle myself. The ladies don't call me Bad Boy Supreme for nothing. You see Jason over there? I'm bouta make him my son, just watch."
The game went very smoothly, I did most of the work, as I expected to. We still lost though. Jason will deny it everytime, but it was obvious he was using some of his power over air to manipulate the ball and himself to make it easier. The only time he ever used Piper was for the mandatory pass.
Leo made several mistakes, most notably lighting the ball on fire. Gave us a point because Jason and Piper didn't want to touch it, but then we had to take a 10 minute break while we waited for another game to finish up so we could take their ball. Then we continued and ended up losing by a decent chunk. But it is all in good fun.
After volleyball I went to the young kids and pretended to attack their castles as a monster. Which ended off as me on the bottom of a dog pile. Then I ate and chilled with old friends by the fire, did some swimming because I'm a rebel and didn't need to wait 20 minutes. All in all it was one of the best nights of my life. Annabeth came limping out of my cabin halfway through and sat down in the sand the whole time which gave everyone a good laugh.
But good things must always come to an end. It was now midnight and Chiron was directing campers back to their cabins. I still wanted some time to myself though and to reflect on how the past year was. My first year as an "adult." So I stayed on the beach long past everyone left.
During my year at Goode, Annabeth had stayed in the guest bedroom in our apartment. It was amazing to live with her. My Mom is absolutely in love with Annabeth, and Annabeth made our home that much more great. We would wake up for school in the morning, take turns showering, and go to school. It was a really good year. But I know 19 will be better. I have so many hopes and dreams for this year.
But then I saw a flash right in front of me, and there was our beloved camp director Dionysus, in the flesh. "Perseus! I take it you enjoyed your party?" He asked me.
"It was awesome Mr. D. I had such a good time. Thank you for going through the trouble."
He grunted. "I have something special for you." I raised my eyebrow as he materialized a bottle of wine in one hand, and two glasses in the other.
"I am not going to drink wine Mr. D, I'm not even 21."
"Ah but you've never really cared about rules Mr. Jackson. I'm already drunk, and I am going to get you drunk as well. Embrace your wild side, go a little mad maybe." He smirked. I could tell he was drunk because he called me Jackson rather than Johnson.
"I thought Zeus forbade you to drink?"
"I guess I will get punished for it later then!" He then promptly poured both of us drinks, handed them both to me, and then fell over. He was passed out. I figured no one else was around, so what could possibly go wrong, so I downed both the glasses, and picked up the bottle to drink more. I was curious and wanted to get drunk. How wrong I would be I wouldn't know until later…
That's the chapter! About 6K words, which I think is a good amount. Might take about 10-15 minutes to read. I would like to know what everyone thought. I want to be so harshly critiqued I cry. It will help me to improve my writing, because I have dreams of writing actual books one day when I'm old and fat. But I have never been so obsessed with a book series as much as Percy Jackson and just had to write fanfic. I've read lots of stories, and the Artemis, Chaos, and Percy becoming a God ones were always the best. This story is about Percy becoming a God, which you will see how and why in the next chapter. Thanks for reading, folks.
