Hey guys heres another story hope you guys enjoy it, I'd also like to thank everyone who is reading the story and reveiwing I'd also like to thank Death Fury for telling me that Posiedon was also the god of storms, completly forgot about it, I always focused on the part about him being the god of the ocean and earthquake, since in the books it was Percy's main powers.
Percy
When I woke up the next morning I was still tired and slugish,but as soon as I got into the shower I was wide awake, I got dress brushed my teeth and went to the main building where we had the meeting the other night, Grover just wanted to go over some stuff.
When I got there Grover gave me a sheet to fill out, he said the leader of the cabin chocies what the cabin does, meaning what they were going to learn and train, he also gave me a schedule that had the time of breakfest, lunch and dinner and said if I was late that I would have to wait for the next meal, he also mentioned something about if I'm out after curfew that the harpies would eat me or something, he then told me to get breakfest before I was late. When I got there, there was twelve tables, each one looking similar to the cabins, and I came to the conclusion that you had to eat with your siblings which I hated because I had non, so I ate some fruit for breakfest, giving part of my breakfest to my father and Hades as an offering, Grover told me that at each meel you had to burn some of your food for your godly parents as a thank you or prasing, which is weird since they didn't need to eat, Grover then told me they don't eat it, just kind of smell the smoke of the food, which I thought was weird and just a waste. So I gave my offering to my godly parent like everyone else, and to Hades to make sure my mother was ok.
It was realy uncomfterble eating, I was eating at one of the largest tables, the others being Zues's and Hade's table, which were also empty, sitting by myself will everyone looked at me from their over flowing tables.
I finished as fast as I could and just walked to my favorite spot in camp so far. The spot I found was perfected to be alone, it was a little was in the woods right next to the lake, it was perfected, I had a cool summer breeze in front of me, warm and soft sand under me, and right behind me the peaceful sound of birds, squirles, other animals, and the sound of the wind blowing through the woods.
I then looked down at the schedule in my hands, the activities grately varied, from arts and crafts and canoeing, to sword and close combat practice. Choosing what I wanted to do wasn't hard. The day started everyday at 7:00am for breakfest, after that was three hours of learning in more detal about the Greek myths, I also took learned about the Roman myths because they were basicly the same except for the gods name's being different, along with a few extra gods and monsters, so I wanted to learn everything I could. And I was taught that by Annebeth, being the child of the goddes of wisdom she was really smart, she was my age but if she went to school she would easliy be at least four grades a head of me.
After being tutored by Annibeth for three hour, I had two hours of free time before lunch, this time is usually when the demi-gods hang out with friends and mess around, but I didn't I took those two hours to practice with my powers near the lake, so far I found out I could breath under water, move the currents so they would acelerat in the water, which I could go around 30MPH in the water so far, I also found out I could talk to fish which I thought was cool, but it got kind of annoying when they would always call my Lord Persues or My lord, but it did explain why I hated sea food, I never hated how it tasted and I wasn't illergic, but it always felt weird eating it so I never did.
After practicing with my powers for two hours I was able to make waves, they weren't gaint but they weren't small either, they could definetly be used in battle but it was realy tiring using the power, I'll have to work on that.
When it was lunch everyone had one hour to eat, and if you got done early the rest of the time could be used to hang out with friends, but I took that time to sleep and relax since I used the time everyone had to relax to practice my powers, so I took a nap and when I woke up I took a shower and I was realy enjoying the fact that water gave me more strangth and energy.
After lunch was over, I had seven hours until dinner, so for the next seven I practice my cobat skilles, I practiced pretty much everything with Ares kids since they were basicly fighting machines. I was taught by Clarissa, and I know what your thinking, why would you spend any time with her, well before we started practicing she said that she was sorry about what she said, and we made up. She even told me that a similar thing happened too her when she was younger. Clarissa said that when she was around ten her mother and a sayter brought her to camp Half-Blood, but before they got over the hill a group of monsters killed her mom and sayter. After she was done telling her story she broke down crying, we were lucky that she gives me private lessons, since she is the best person with a spear around her, and I want to be able to use any weapon, so after that she calmed down and I told her to get some rest. I spent the rest of our traing time practicing my water powers.
I spent two hours practicing with water power, those two hours would have been spent learning to use a spear, but I was ok with practicing with my powers, I got a lot better with them, and it was realy fun making water animals run around in the arm, I also learned that I could make the water freeze into ice or evaporate into nothing, I also found out that the water heald me not only giving me more energy, the best part is that I didn't even have to get wet, because for some reason the water doesn't make me wet, but I can will myself to get wet if I consontrate, I can also do the opposite and will myself dry.
So after I was finished training, I spent the next two hours with Luke, leader of the Hermes cabin, and the best swordsmen in the camp, Luke said that I was a narual with a sword, but I just think it was because of my sword, the three foot long bronzer sword was a perfect fit for me, it wasn't to have or to light, the grip fit perfectly in my hands, and it was perfectly balanced. I thought I should be able to use other swords, just incase I lost this sword and had to use a different one, so I used all kinds of different swords, big broad swords that I had to use two hands for, a coulpe regular three foot swords that just felt different compared to my sword they were too heivy or light or unbalanced, but I was still good with them, Luke also taught me how to use throwing knivies, daggers, and basicly anything that was like blade, any kind of sword, knife, dagger, anything you can think of. Luke kept saying I was a natural at this, he said that in a year or two I would be better then him, he sounded happy when he said that, but for some reason, I heard resentment and anger, I was confused. Why was he angry at me, what was he not telling me. I just had a feeling, he was hiding something.
There was three more hours until dinner, I spent those last hours with the Ares and Apollo kids, they taught me how to use the other weapons, stuff like maces and lances, the Apollo kids taught me how to use the first aid kit, and a couple basic, operation persejures, stuff that could keep some one alive in the middle of a battle until some one could fully heal them should up, they also showed me how to use a bow, which I was horrible with, I nearly shot Lee, and he was standing behind me, so that is when I dicided never to use a bow again, if anything was at a range I could always use, throwing knivies, and spears.
And once the three hours of weapon and first aid trainging was done with the Ares and Apollo kids was done, it was dinner time, dinner was coupletly different compared to breakfest and lunch. Breakfest had stuff like milk and fruit, lunch had stuff like bacon, bread, cheese, and juice, will at dinner, they went all out, there was every possible meat you could think of, there was ham, pork, burgers, hot dogs, my favorite steak, and a lot of other stuff. There was also a lot of vegeis and side dishes, ther was corn, beans, carrites, patatoes, cottege cheese, soup. And then there was stuff like, pasta, spaggeti, pizza, and a lot of stuff like that. During dinner was the only time we could use the golden goblets, we could drink anything ( anything that wasn't alcoholic, which pissed the hades off of Mr.D, who I only just meet at dinner, he was the first god I meet, and to be honest I wasn't impresesed, he was short and a little fat, always caling people the wrong name, he was always depressed, I guess his father Zues got made at him and punished him by making him look after the camp).
When everyone was done we all went done to the campfire , Grover said they went to the campfire every night after dinner to sing campfire songs, told stories of heros from old greek and a few about some of the camper that died long ago who went to this camp. After we were all done telling stories and eating smores I went to get ready for bed.
The rest of the week was pretty much the same as the first (except I didn't pick up a bow, which the Ares and Apollo kids were very happy about). At the end of the week I have gotten even better with the weapons I have been training with and my water abilities, but I was kind of said I couldn't practice with some of my powers, because it would be realy bad if I had made a gaint hurrican, earthquake, or even storm appear in the middle of camp.I never made one, but I could feel the power in my veins, I knew I could make any one of those things happen, but it would destroy the camp and it would make me tired as hell. except at the end of the week after dinner was over, I started to go to the campfire but when I got there, there was already some one there which was weird because I was usualy the first person at the campfire and I didn't see any one leave before me. So I walked up to her and sat next to her, she looked around eight years old had brown hair and her eyes looked like fire, not like she was angry but like a warm and comferting fire, I new then that it was a goddess.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked sitting next to the small goddess.
"You can see me?" She asked looking away from the fire for the first time.
"Yea, is that a problem.?"
"No, people just usually don't talk to me."
"Well, thats no way to treat a goddess."
She stared at me in a bit of shock before saying,"How do you know that I'm a goddess."
I just smiled before replaying,"It isn't that hard to know when your in the presince of a goddess, especialy when it's Kronos's eldest child."
She stared at me in shock and disbilef once again," How did you know?"
"Well it isn't that hard, a young girl with eyes of fire, who is also tending to a fire. The real question is why are you here? I dought Zues would punish you by putting you here, let alone be able to." I asked with my expressionless exterior back again.
"I come here from time to time." she said also going back to no expression looking at the fire."I also wished to speck to you. They haven't told you about the prophecy I am guessing. Probably giving you time to grieve for your mother, I am very sorry about your mother, see was a good women." Hestia said with actual sincerity.
"Good to know that all the gods aren't like Mr.D." I said getting a laught from the goddess.
"Dionysus is ok once you get to know him, he's just angry because of his fathers punishment." Hestia said still smiling, she looked a lot more comfterble now as she turned towards me and looked at me.
"So what is this prophocy you we're talking about?" I said getting back to the main point.
At this her smile left and she had an expressionless face one again."The prophecy that one of the big three's children would either be the fall of Olmpus or the savior. And Zues is a very parinod and angry person, especialy since some one took his Master Bolt, he thinks it was you Perseus. Zues also thinks you are the enemy and wants you died."
"But I didn't take it. I only found out about the Greek gods a week ago." I said still expressionless, not realy caring what some gods thought, I would never betray the friends I made at camp, I would rather die then see one of them hurt.
"I know that Perseus.." before she could finish her sentence I cut her off.
"You can just call me Percy."
She looked shocked and confused at first before she continued,"Very well, Percy, like I was saying before, I know you didn't take it, I can tell that you are a good person, and you will be a great hero, but Zues is a very parinod person, he fears any demi-god that has the potential to become powerful, and by being the son of one of the big three you will become very powerful. Already I can feel your power."
"So what now, if Zues is angry and thinks I stole his Master Bolt, what do I do?" I asked not wanting the king of all gods to be angry at me for something I didn't do.
"Well, I afraid young demi-god that you'll have to go on a quest to get the master bolt."
"And how exactly do I do that, just leave and start looking for the Master Bolt?"
"No, you must go to the oracle and ask for a prophecy, that is how all quest are made. Ask Chiron about the oracle, tell him you need to be the one to find the Master Bolt, now go." she said before turning into a pillar of flames.
So after that I went to Chiron like Hestia said and asked him about the prophecy I was in, he was not to thrild to find out I knew about the prophecy, and he didn't get any happier when I told him a goddess is the one who told me. So Chiron then told me about the prophecy about one of the big three's children, I didn't realy listen, all I new was there was no way I was going to betray my friends and family, and since the gods were technically the only family I had left I wasn't going to betray them. After that I went to get the prophecy for me to get teh Master Bolt. So I went to the main building and went to the adic were Chiron told me I could find the oracle. When I got there it was like any other adic excepted it smelled like something died in here. I looked around and I found all kinds of blades and armor and other mythical books and trinks. They all looked like they were trophecy, and I guess that is what they were, trophecys that people got going on the quest, and then I found what smelled like death in here, it was a corpse a real corpse, and I almost puked when I saw it. It looked like the corpse used to belong to some hippy, it was weird, it had a flower dress and had long gray hair. As I walked up to the corpse the smell of death got even worse and the air seemed to be getting cold. When I was about two feet away from the corpse it began to float and green gas began coming out of its eye sockets, ears, mouth, and nose. And then a voice came from smoke, it was a feminen voice, but it was raspy, like how a smoker would sound, and their was some kind of echo was saying the same thing in the same voice, but for some reason the voice sounded older and more ancient and powerful.
"You shall go west, and face the god who has turned, you shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,you shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend, and you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."
As soon as the final word came out of the corpse's mouth the smoke disapeared and the body went limp again. I left the attic to go to the meeting at the big house. Once I was there I told everone about the prophecy, they were all silent for a moment before Annebeth finally spoke up.
"So we have to get this quest started fast, Zues demanded his Bolt back at the next solstices, which is in a week, but first we have to desifer what the prophocey means."
Everone was quite for awhile just thinking before Chiron spoke," Annabeth is correct. Percy, you must choose how will join you on the quest and leave right away, and then we must figure out were you must go to find the Master Bolt."
I sat there thinking, I was ready, I already knew who I was going to, but I was thinking of something else. About the prophecy I already knew where we were going and we would be there with a few days to spare. This quest would be easy, the only thing I was worried about was that prophecy,'You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend', who was going to betray use and why?" I already know what to do." They all stared at me a little confused." The prophecy says something about finding a god to the west, and we must confront a god who has betrayed Olympus, that sounds like Hades, and he already has a motive of why to steal Zues's symbol of power. And as for who I'm going to bring with me is Grover and Annebeth." They all stared at me confused and amazed, I couldn't blame them, I only found out about this stuff a week ago, and now I've already disifered a prophecy, and made a game plan for a prophecy I just found out a few hours ago, but I was not messing around, if there is going to be a war that I can prevent from happening, I'll do it, I'll do anything to protect my friends.
"Why bring me and Grover?" asked Annebeth just now returning from her state of shock.
"Well I just Grover the most, I know he'll have my back, we have history, and as for you," I said pointing to Annebeth," I'll need some one like you, a daughter of Athena, you're smart and will be able to come up with plans faster then me, and you've been doing this a lot longer then me, and it seems like you're a little eager to go on a quest."Annebeth blushed a little at my prasing, and figited a little when I mentioned the fact that I was able to read her so easily."So let's get some equipment and get going." I said getting up and heading for some supplies to bring with me on the quest. As I got up I saw everyone stare at me with awe,amazment, and confusion, which is a little weird when one of the youngest kids in the room.
So after the meeting I went to my cabin got extra close, went to the med tent to get some necter and ambrose, and went to the armory to get a couple more weapons, because even though I had my RipTide (which is what I found out my sword was called after a couple of days of training with it, the sword itself had wave desings on it that glode a faint blue in the dark, and it had greek writing on one side that said, Anaklusmos, which in translated to english ment RipTide) which returned to me in pen form in my pocket. but I still felt more comfterable with an extra dagger and a few thowing knives.
Once I got my stuff ready I meet Grover and Annebeth at the hill next to the pine tree, which I found out from the stories the campers told at the campfire, that it was a child of Zues who died protecting Annebeth and Luke to get to the camp safely, and that before she died her father turned her into a tree. I know that Zues was trying to kill me and people were always saying he had anger issues and was parinod, but I could help but feel that he was just trying to protect he's family, the best he could.
"You ready." I said with ditermination in my voice, I was ready to stop this stupid war between Zues and Posiedon, and I was going to keep my family and friends safe.
"Yea." Grover and Annebeth said at the same time, well Grover kind of bleated it, like he always did when he was scared or nervous.
"Ok, then lets do this." I said walking to the car that would bring us to a train in New York to start our quest.
Well thats the end of chapter three, I know it was kind of slow, but the next chapter will have a lot more adventure and action, so as always, please reveiw, favorite adn follow the chapter. Until next time, see ya.
