Percy
As I put the key into the slot that was above all the buttons in the elevator, another button appeared above the key slot that glowed brightly as if it were being burned into the elevator panel until it sizzled down and sowed a regular button for the six hundredth floor. Right after I pressed the button the elevator went blasting up through the air, the lights in the elevator went flashing on and off as the elevator rattle from the speed of the rising elevator. Since none of us were expecting this we all nearly fell, but fortunately I was able to grab one of the bars on the side of the elevator, but my head still hit the doors giving me a bruise and a headache, will Grover and Annabeth hit each others heads and fell backwards into the wall. This went on for only a few seconds before the elevator came to an abrupt stop, causing all of use to fly up in the air, but since Annabeth and I were still holding on to the bars in the elevator all we did was go off the ground a little, while Grover who let go of the ralling went flying into the ceiling and landing back onto the ground with a 'thud'. Grover began to get up with a groan and a small bleat as he rubbed his head getting a small giggle from Annabeth. I looked at my half goat friend and smiled as he got up with a goofy smile on his face, that made him look like he was drunk, and gave another weird bleat, I shock my head at him with a smile now returning to my face, both from my friends antics and the fact that I was about to meet my father and his family.
The doors to the elevator opened letting the brilliant light of Olympus in. Olympus was amazing, The giant city of gods was littered with huge and spektakular white marble buildings, along with ones made of gold, silver, precious jewels, plants, and pretty much anything you could think off. But palaces weren't the only thing that was at Olympus, there was also coffee shops, video stores, places to shop for clothes, and a lot of other normal mortal stuff, which I found extremely weird since all the gods could just materialize what they want, or just teleport to where they need to go if they wanted to get out.
While we were walking down the beautiful white marble streets of Olympus we kept getting weird looks from the minor gods, nymphs, satyrs, and other nature spirits that reside on Olympus. this was kind of embarrassing having all the attention on us. I glanced at my friends who were walking beside me, Grover on my left and Annabeth on my right. And both of them were covered in dirt, sweat, bruises, cuts, and tattered clothes, even though we change our clothes when we got onto the first train, but seeing we have been fighting of monsters every stop, and after the first we were all a little jumpy so we didn't get much sleep. I looked down and say that I was the same. My blue pants were covered in dirt and there was a hole on the right knee and one forming on the left, and the green shirt I was wearing was just as dirty, with a couple cuts and blood stains littered all over it, and that was just what I could see on the front. I looked at my friends once again to see they weren't as bad as me. Annabeth was wearing a red flannel unbuttoned with what used to be a white tank top, and dark blue jeans, with a pair of black Adidas, with a white log, laces, and ridges that connect the side of the shoe to the bottom. Her clothes were covered in dirt, mud and sweat all over it, but other then that her cloths and shoes were pretty in tacked. I then looked down to check out my boot, and what I saw wasn't as bad as what I was expecting, I was still wearing my black combat boots and they look completely fine except for the dirt and mud on the bottom of them, and compared to the rest of my attire they looked pretty new. To my left Grover was staring at the nature spirits that giggled every time he waved, he was wearing a brown leather vest with a satchel that held our healing supplies and his reed pipe. I glanced down at his feet and saw he still wore nothing, so his hairy goat legs were out along with his giant hooves ,'Uh, I wonder what the mortals saw,' and as I was thinking that a quick image of him wearing cargo pants and Timberland boots appeared before showing his goat legs once again.
We continued down the marble road, passing by more palaces and modern day stores and cafes, until we came up to the largest building we've seen yet. When I looked at the building it looked like a combination of the White House, Lincoln Monument, and a court house, but the look on Annabeth's face told me that she was even more amazed about the gargantuan building in front of us. As we got closer to the two giant doors in front of us, the opened just enough for the three of us to enter. And when we did, we say twelve, ten to fifteen tall, Olympian Gods and Goddesses. All sitting in thrones, that matched their domains and symbols of power, in a U formation, all of them in a heated argument. As soon as they noticed us they stopped talking and looked down at us.
I stood in front of all not knowing that I was greeting their looks of, anger, annoyance, and boredom with a huge smile, as I glanced at all of my family members. I walked up to the largest throne that sat in the center of all the thrones and knelt before my uncle Zeus.
"Hello uncle." I said looking down at the ground before before looking back up at my uncles face with a smile.
Third Point of View
As the Grover and Annabeth stood behind Percy, who was smiling at Zeus, from my perspective I new he was just happy to see more of his family, but by the way Zeus was glaring at Percy I don't think he understood Percy's attitude toward him.
Percy began to rise his had from his bow but continued to kneel as he started to speak," Hello uncle." he said with the same smile on his face.
"What have you come for sea spawn." Zeus said with anger lingering under the surface of each word as he tried to keep himself calm, knowing if he were to lose his temper and kill him that Poseidon wouldn't be happy, using the words 'sea spawn' as and insult, gaining looks of disgust and anger from both Poseidon and Aphrodite's. (I'm going to be using the myth of Aphrodite's being born from Uranus's body parts that were thrown into the ocean)
Percy with the same innocent smile replies," I have come to return what was stolen from you." He said turning around and taking out the Master Bolt from the black Nike's bag he had on.
All the deities now had all their focus on Percy, whether it was shock, anger, or amusement. Percy stood to his feet and walk over to Zeus before once again kneeling at the foot of his throne and holding the Bolt above him so he could take it. Zeus raised his hand and the Bolt went flying into his hands like they were magnets. Zeus turned the Bolt in his hands and rose it to the air and examined it before it grew to a size more fitting of his fifteen foot structure, he tightened his grip on it causing sparks to go flying all over his body as the lightning conducted through his body.
After he was done examining his Bolt he look to the left of his throne and snap his fingers, immediately air started to rap around in a small point were a small girl appeared. The girl look around twelve had light brown hair and tanned skin with sky blue eyes, which unlike Zeus's dark lightning blue eyes that demanded respect and power, the girls were calm and comforting, just like the open blue country skies.
The girl stood by the throne and bowed,"Yes my lord."
Zeus held his Bolt in front of the girl, which since the Bolt was now changed to match his size, was now bigger then the small girl,"Take my Bolt to the forges and have it cleaned of mortal filth." As the girl reached out for the Master Bolt it shrunk back down into it's police baton form and she brought it away.
After she was gone the attention of the deities was returned to us, with a more docile look on his face,"So you finally saw fit to bring back what you stole from me." Zeus said keeping his calm demeanor but the air around him getting heavier.
"I didn't steal it uncle I found it." Percy said.
"You speak so lightly of the matter." Zeus said not liking the way Percy was treating him as family and not his king.
Percy understanding why he was agitate explained himself,"I know you think I was the one that stole the Master Bolt, but I only found out about the world of Gods and monsters just a week or two ago. I've have only been at Camp Half-Blood a couple of days before I was given a prophecy in search of your Master Bolt."
"Yes I know all about your arrival of at the camp, I have been watching you for a while now, but that does not mean you speak the truth. You could have been working with your father far longer then I even knew of your existence, who knows your mortal mother could have been helping him, I know how whorish mortal women can get when it comes to use Gods." Zeus said with a smile on his face probably reminiscing on past memories as he received unknowing glares from Hera and Artemis.
At those words Percy's smile of being reunited with his family turned into a glare of anger, as well as Poseidon, but before Poseidon could say anything Percy cut in," DON'T EVER SPEAK OF MY MOTHER THAT WAY AGAIN!" He shouted as the entire room shuck in Percy's furies gaining looks of shock from all the Gods and a look of pride from Poseidon," And if you let me finish my sentence instead of interrupting me, I could have told you that I found your precious little toy with your despicable son Ares, who I might add isn't here." Percy finished pointing his now drawn sword.
Zeus now stared back at with a look of pure rage, at being insulted and disrespected, and having his son disrespected."YOU DARE DISRESPECT ME, YOUR KING, BY ACCUSING MY SON OF TREASON!" the now enraged king of the gods said raising his hand that, like the rest of his body, was now covered in the same lightning that covers his Master Bolt.
But before Zeus blasted Percy into nothing Poseidon stop him by pointing his trident at his throat."Touch even a hair on my sons head and I will kill you." gaining a snarl from Zeus and a smile from Percy for being recognized as his son.
"Don't worry father he won't kill me." Percy said lowering his sword and smiling.
"And what make's you think that you puny demigod." Zeus said glaring at Percy once again.
"Well for one, my father has his trident at your throat, so even if you are immortal, I think it will take some time to come back after being killed by one of the elder gods weapon. And you will need me in the up coming war." Percy said with a more serious tone, as all the Gods stared at him in confusion.
"What war do you speak of boy." Athena said.
Percy stood there in silence thinking over what he was going to say."First let me explain our quest." Percy received a nod from Athena. Percy then went on to explain the quest he,Grover, and Annabeth went on, gaining looks of shook, amusement, and a few even looking impressed when he told them about how he defeated all three furies by himself along with Medusa, taming Cerberus, fighting off Hades servants along with dispelling Hades attack, and the after math on the surface that came along with his fit of rage. Percy then went on to tell them about his battle against Ares and how he gained the Master Bolt and Helm of Darkness before defeating Ares with a giant wave. This gained him a smirk from Poseidon at defeating a god a such a young age, along with smiles from most of the the other gods since they all hate the blood thirsty, coward of the war god. Then gaining a slutty smile from the love goddess. And then finally explaining the fights they had against monster on their way back to New York.
"Okay, now that you've told us about your quest, continue on what you were saying about the war that was coming up." Athena said in a more demanding then asking.
Percy looked around the nervously get looks of curiosity from the gods that sat in front of him, since he just threatened Zeus with no fear, yet he was nervous to talk about the up coming war. But they were all about to learn why he was son nervous.
"On our journey to the Underworld I started to have these dreams," all the gods began to tense up, knowing that when a demigod had a dream, or more like nightmare, they were real, and told what was to come," at first it was just whispers from the darkness, but then I started to make out where I was. It was a dark cavern like place, with screams of pain and anger."
"You were dreaming of the Underworld?" Athena asked interrupting Percy.
"That's what I thought at first." Percy said not at all being insulted by being interrupted."But this place wasn't the Underworld. The skies had clouds of blood with black lightning, and past the clouds was a rocky ceiling with giant pointed rocks hanging from them. The was toxic to breath, it felt like every time I took a breath I was breathing in poison or fire. And all around me there were screams of pain and anger, but they weren't human, they were creatures far older and more powerful then the average cyclops or hellhound. And with each dream the voices grew stronger and louder, until the night before we entered the Underworld." at this point every one was staring intently at the young demigod in front of them, waiting to hear what horrid thing was going to start a war. "I the night before we entered the world of the dead, I had the dream once again, except this time instead of the voices growing louder, they became one voice, one that radiated so much power even without a body."
"What did the voice say? Who was the voice?" Athena said after snapping out of how intently she was listening to Percy.
Percy once again thought of what to say and what to leave out, if he should leave out anything. He stared down at the floor to his right, biting his bottom lip in thought and worry.
"Well spit it out boy, if there truly is a war we don't have time to just sit here!" Zeus sudden out burst snapped Percy out of thought, giving him a nod of acknowledgement.
"The voice I heard was Kronos." Percy said calmly and just loud enough so every one could hear him.
The room was now deadly silent at the acknowledge of the Titan Kings return.
"That's impossible my father is still reforming from the first Titan Wars." Zeus said calmly thinking Percy was just another stupid demigod wanting attention.
"Your right. Kronos hasn't reformed yet." At the name of the old king the room once again became darker and colder, while some of the gods and goddesses flinched at his name."But his power is returning." Percy said calmly and to the point.
"What do you mean his power is returning?" Athena asked wanting to know all the details.
"Well, it's hard to explain." Percy said not knowing how to explain how Kronos is manipulating and controlling people." He is still in Tartarus, that I know for sure, He hasn't reformed his body, but his powers are returning faster then his body is. So he can talk to people in the dreams and manipulate them. I saw his powers first hand twice in one day. While I was in the Underworld, Hades kept looking off into the darkness like he was talking to some one, that is when I first started putting every thing together. I always thought out of all the big three Hades would be the more Understanding one, seeing as he is the eldest and has to rule over the dead. And when I visited him he was reasonable for the most part."
"What do you for the most part?" Demeter asked with a little anger/annoyance in her voice, seeing as Hades was the one with Persephone right now.
"Well, some one had also stolen his Helm of Darkness."
"What? And why didn't he tell use?" Athena asked, once again needing all the information.
"He didn't tell me why, but, I assume he thought you wouldn't help him look for it. You all were looking for the Master Bolt at the time. And since Hades is exiled off in the Underworld, and no gods really want to intermix with him. There's also the fact that with out his symbol of power he is in a weakened state." Percy said getting a nod of approval from Athena at his analyses."Speaking of which, will you please return this to Hades." Percy said to while taking out the Helm of Darkness, that was in it's ski mask form, placing it at the foot of Zeus's throne. "Now back to the problem at hand. Kronos may not have a physical form, but he is powerful enough to use his powers. His powers are strong enough to manipulate Hades, although I think it was only because of his weakened state. But he was strong enough to take control over Ares and manipulate him."
"How do you know Kronos was controlling Ares and not being his usual idiotic self, and trying to start another war?" Artemis said in an anodyne tone.
"Well there are two reason why I know Ares was controlled," Percy started,"first off, I don't think Ares has the skills required to manipulate a demigod into stealing the Master Bolt, or hiding the fact that it was him. I mean he was being hunted down by Artemis. If it was Ares on doing, Artemis would have found out in days, if not sooner." Percy finished as Artemis smiled at the praising being given to her, while she was also confused why she would be happy at being praised by a male. As well as getting smiles from most of the goddesses knowing that Ares wasn't the brightest. "And," Percy said getting back the attention of the deities,"Kronos spoke to me through Ares."
All the deities were now once again staring at Percy in shook and fear, as well as Percy friends, since this was also the first time they heard about any of this. Which upset Annabeth extremely, while it only worried Grover on Percy's safety.
"And what did he say boy?" Zeus said a little agitate at hearing his father is returning.
"He said he want the weapons to himself. Probably since they accounted to his downfall. And he also wanted to start a war between the gods, seeing as if you were all fighting among yourselves it would be easier to take over." Percy finished getting a confused look from Athena, as she thought,'How can the son of my idiotic rival be so smart and tactical,'.
The room was completely silent as all the gods took in what Percy just said. Zeus was now staring angrily at the demigod in front of him, not at him in particular, well mostly not, but the King of Gods was now huffing and puffing as he tried to contain his anger but failed. Power was radiating off him, but unlike Hades, whose power rippled off him in shadows and the smell of death , or Poseidon whose like Percy came off him in waves of sea green light and the smell of the ocean. Zeus' power was continues, coming off in with the wind, that was so strong it was pushing Annabeth and Grover back, almost lifting them off their feet, while Percy on the other hand didn't want to show weakness. He had been like this ever since his mother died, even in front of his friends and family he didn't like to show even an once of weakness. So Percy focused on his powers and pushed them out of his body and made it circle him. So Percy was surrounded by just enough of his power so he wouldn't be thrown back like Annabeth and Grover, who both now had their backs on the throne room door while Percy stood firm and tall in the same spot he was in, with an invisible vortex of his power surrounding him. As Percy stood there, similarly unfazed by Zeus' power, the Gods and Goddesses stared at Percy with awe and shook. Although this wasn't even close to half of Zeus' power, this was more then enough to throw any mortal, including monsters and demigods, onto their backs, even some minor gods would be forced to kneel at Zeus' power, but here stood a twelve year old demigod and he stood there without even flinching.
This was the last straw for Zeus. Percy had disrespected him, insulted him, he had just found out is fathers power was returning and another war was coming, and now he was staring him in the eyes as Zeus let out his power in anger. Even though Zeus was trying to subdue his powers, the thought of his escaping powers throwing the demigods was displeasing to him. so finally he stopped holding back his anger and let it out.
"ENOUGH! LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN! WHILE US GODS GO OVER WHAT HAS JUST BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION!" Zeus yelled, emphasizing the god part, as Percy's attitude towards him was getting on his nerves. But he knew if what Percy was saying was true he would need him in the up coming war. Because even if Zeus would never admitted this, he knew Percy was very strong and would only grow stronger as time past.
Percy gave a polite bow, knowing that he was getting on the sky gods nerves, and back away slowly turning around to see his friends panting on the floor at the show of Zeus' power. Percy gestured his friends to follow as he left the throne room with Annabeth right on his heels and Grover slowly following behind.
The ride back down to the lobby was quite as Annabeth and Grover fully took in what just happened. As they took in Percy's perspective of their quest and what he went through when they weren't with him, as well as his dreams. But the most imposing was how Percy stood up to the King of the Gods, and the power they felt radiate off him when he was anchoring himself from Zeus' powers.
As they stepped out of the elevator the lobby was completely empty and the man behind the counter was cowering behind the counter, because of the power the gods and Percy were giving off during their little 'meeting'. They stepped out onto the streets were they began their journey back to Camp Half-Blood, were they meet no monsters as the left over aroma of the gods power still lingered on them scaring off any thing close to them.
And when they got back to camp they were meet by cheering campers at the success of their quest. As treo walk through the crowd of cheering campers, nymphs, and satyrs, they received high fives, hugs, fist bumps, and congratulations. When they finally made it through the crowd they were meet with Chiron, who had a giant and pride filled smile on his face. He then lead them to the meeting room where they were soon meet by the other cabin leaders to go over the quest. After the three went over the quest they were meet by looks of awe, shook, and fear, after also telling them about the return of Kronos, which at his name they all flinched. After the debriefing of the quest every one sat there in silence, just letting the fact that the Titan lord is returning, and the up coming war, that will inevitable lead to the death of fellow campers.
"We will speak more on this issue later. For now you three need your rest." Chiron said giving a proud yet said smile to Percy. Proud because of how well he did during the quest, and sad at knowing the many losses to come.
Percy returned the smile and stood up, along with every one else. They all left and prepared for dinner. For the rest of the evening Percy and his friends were given pats on the back, hugs, hand shacks, complements, and so on, from nearly every one at camp for, not only retrieving the Master Bolt, but also the Helm of Darkness.
By the end of dinner every one new the smaller details of the quest, as the leaders told their tables over their supper. And now as every one was walking down to the camp fire, they all stared at Percy, from the new found information of him fight off Ares and Hades, as well as Medusa, the furies, and so on.
While every one was sing and telling stories at the camp fire, Percy snuck off not liking all the attention being on him. Since he just wanted to relax and enjoy the night with his friends, knowing that all of them would be safe today, as well as dwelling in the satisfaction of meeting his godly parents.
Percy walked the dark and pathless woods of the camp. This was the first time Percy had ever entered the woods, since he had always either been studying or training. And even though this was the first time Percy was in the woods, he knew exactly where he was going. Not far from where Percy was now he could feel the currents of running water. In just a few more minutes Percy walked though a patch of trees to find the source of water.
It was a beautiful stream, it was about ankle deep, and crystal clear. Since the woods close to the camp were well taken care of the stream wasn't affected by the usual pollution of the mortal world. But the best part of the stream was how it sparkled from the moonlight the crept through the trees. The moonlights reflected off the bottom of the stream coming back out making the clear blue stream look like its glowing.
Percy stood at a small ledge that was a couple feet above the stream. He sat down and hung his feet over the ledge. His shoes were now off and setting in the water, to Percy the water felt incredible, even though all water gives him a boast and heals him, this was the cleanest water he had ever been in, and it was incredible.
The young demigod sat there looking up at the moon the was now high in the sky. He took in everything that was around him. He breathed in the fresh and cold air of the night, the feeling he was getting from the water, the calmness and quietness of the night, and just sat there. He didn't do anything in particular. At the moment he was just enjoying his time to rest and enjoy the beauty of the woods. There was nothing on his mind at this time, he let all his worries of the future drift off. Everything about the quest the gods, the upcoming war, and for a moment he had no worries, he was at peace, even with the death of his mother.
Time was unknown to him as he sat there and enjoyed the peacefulness. And after a while Percy heard a noise behind him. Knowing that there were monsters lurking the woods for the capture the flag games Percy immediately shoot up and took out his sword. The sword immediately glowed, both from the lines on the sword that usually glow and both, the moonlight and light reflecting off the stream. The area in front of him was illuminated right away, and also blinded the person that was coming out from behind the trees. The person slowly lowered his hand from in front of his face as his eyes adjusted to the sudden light.
"Luke, is that you?" Percy asked confused to why he was all the way out here, when the camp was celebrating at the campfire.
"I saw you sneak off while everyone was at the campfire, and I thought you could use the company." Luke said with his hand lowered since his eyes were now adjusted to the light, as his other hand was behind his back holding what was going to be Percy's demise. Percy, not noticing that Luke was hiding something went back to sitting, and motioning for Luke to join him."So, what are you doing sitting here by yourself? Your the hero, you succeeded you should be celebrating." Luke said with a little resent in his voice that went unnoticed by Percy.
"Just needed a little alone time, to just think stuff over." Percy said staring into the stream.
"Yea. Kronos wont stop till he gets you." Luke said in an understanding voice.
This is the part that put Percy back on guard. Since he never told the campers about his dreams of Kronos and how he wanted Percy to join him, just the part about his return and the up coming war. Percy began to reach for his pen slowly so Luke wouldn't notice.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Luke casually said, now leaning on a tree a few feet from Percy holding a gar in his hands with a scorpion the size of his hand in it.
"So your the one who stole the Master Bolt and Helm of Darkness." Percy angrily said once again staring into the stream.
"What'd you expect, I am the son of Hermes, and do you really think that numskull could ties his own shoes, let alone steal weapons from Zeus and Hades." Luke said smuggle.
Percy stared at the streams, that now were starting to mirror his emotions and were speeding up, but he managed to keep his cool, wanting to ask Luke some questions will he thought he was in control.
"Why are you doing this, what do you gain from doing this?" Percy asked calming down.
"Like I said, I'm not Ares, I'm not going to fall for some stupid trick, and explain everything were going to do. See in on the other side Percy." Luke said throwing the scorpion at Percy who dived into the stream.
The scorpion immediately lodged its stinger into Percy's arm, which he responded by twirling in the water, using the water to spin him faster than he normally would've, causing the scorpions stinger to come out of his arm. Percy than stood up and fouced on the water making it as if there was an entire ton on the scorpion turning it to golden ashes.
The woods were once again silent, the only thing that could be heard was the stream and the painting of Percy trying to catch his breath. He could feel the poison running through his veins and the water trying got heal him. But it wasn't, this wasn't a regular poison, it was stronger, and Percy couldn't heal himself. He staggered to the ground and looked around to see that Luke was gone. The life was leaving his body, and he knew this, he could feel the poison spreading through his body and killing him. The water couldn't heal him fast enough and he knew he wouldn't make it back to camp.
Percy laid there with his legs in the water and staring into the starry night sky, knowing he was going to die.'I'm coming mom.' Percy said excepting his death. The young demigod laid on the shore with his eyes closed breathing in the cold night air.
"My son." Percy heard causing him to open his eyes to his Poseidon.
"Father." Percy said trying to sit up to show his respect to only lay back down in pain.
"Rest my son, I am here to help." Poseidon said kneeling down next to Percy," and please, call me dad, father just makes me sound old." He said with a warm smile followed by the scent of an ocean breeze.
"But I thought the gods couldn't intervene with mortals." Percy said slowly and barely audible.
"Don't speak, save your strength. We aren't allowed to physically help, but we can give guidance. And seeing that you inherited my powers, I'm the best person to help you. Now I assume you already know about your control over water," Poseidon said gaining a weak nod from Percy," well you also have a little control over other liquids. So focus on the poison in your body like you would water, and will in out of your body."
Percy did as his father said and focused on his body, he could feel the blood and water through out his body, and mixed along with it was the poison, that was just inches from his heart. He focused on the poison that was about to touch his heart and stopped it, just like Poseidon said he pushed the poison out.
"Good, now heal yourself with the water, I must be going before the misses finds out where I have gone." Poseidon said before walking into the stream and merging with the water.
Percy was now alone once again, but unlike the first time, he wasn't calm and at peace, but sweaty, sore, and tired, from using his powers to get all of the poison out of his body. Percy crawled to the stream and laid there trying to gain enough strength to get up and warn the camp. After ten minutes Percy began to slowly limp towards the camp, stumbling and tripping to the now treacherous path.
As Percy came out of the tree line he couldn't find anyone, and it didn't look like they went to bed, because the fire was still going and there was garbage littered all over the floor. There was no one at the dining pavilion, or the big house, or the archery range, it was as if everyone had disappeared. Percy was now standing in front of the Big House not knowing where else to go. And as he sat on the front porch he saw Grover running towards him coming in the direction of the Pine Tree, and he looked terrified, even more than when we were meet by Ares.
"Whats wrong Grover? Where is everyone?" Percy said standing up to meet his friend.
"No...time..to...ezplain...followw..mee" Grover panted and slerred from the full on sprint he did to get to Percy.
Percy followed Grover to the entrance of the camp, were he found ever single camper. The all surrounded the giant pine tree, and when they heard the galloping of Grover they all turned towards the two and made a path way so they could get through.
"Percy where have you been? You look horrible." Annabeth asked kneeling down next to the base of tree, looking up at Percy, who was now drenched in sweat and looking like he was about to pass out.
"Yea, and I feel even worse. I was attacked by Luke, he had some weird scorpion. Its venom was really strong. It nearly killed me."
The crowd around Percy now gave looks of fear and betrayal. Annabeth being the one feeling the betrayal the most at hearing that one of her oldest friends betrayed them and attacked Percy. Annabeth was now speechless. She was now staring at Percy like he just killed her puppy. Noticing that Annabeth wasn't going to say anything because of her being shocked by the new information, Grover stepped in.e
"Perce, some one also poisoned Thalia's tree, and it's dying quick. We don't have much time, the nymphs say we have a week tops, maybe two if the Demeter and Apollo kids can slow down the poison, but that's all we can do."
The woods were quite, the only thing that could be heard were the chirps and squeaks of the animals and the crackling of the fire camp. The night was cold with the gentle breeze of the night. And the camp was devastated and afraid. A war was coming. And there are always casualties in war.
