Chapter 5- Zeus's idiocy

Previously

I tumbled off the boulder, hitting my head hard on the ground. My world goes black.

Now

Percy POV

I blink and open my eyes. I immediately hear a chucking sound coming from my right.

"Dear me, Elizon, haven't you caught the meal for us!" a voice yells, laughing heartily. I hear barking from my left. Cautiously, I open my eyes ever so slightly, and use my peripheral vision to see what was happening. I see a few giant, ugly looking monsters, a few wolves including the wolf that had knocked me off the boulder that night. I was tied to a wooden shaft, sticking out of the ground. My arms and legs were firmly wrapped around the shaft, and there was no way I could reach for riptide in my pocket. I glance to the side and see a massive pot, with flames licking the underside of it.

Not good. Glancing to the other side, I see many small critters hanging off similar shafts.

"A nice demigod meal shall satisfy us!" one of them say.

"Yes, the best meal we have had in years!" yells another.

I sigh. How did I manage to get myself into these situations? They grab a few of the shafts with small mammals on them and twist them horizontally. They place them over an open fire next to the pot. I swallow some bile.

The mammals were slowly roasted, and all I could do was watch in horror and disbelief. A fourth monster comes back with some water. He pours the water into the boiling pot. The water immediately starts to boil until the pot was full of steaming water. The monsters then chop up the small mammals and squeeze the blood of them out into the pot. It took all my will power not to throw up.

They then skin the beasts, and dump the meat into the boiling water. They pick up the three shafts next to me. I was next. The small mammals were soon roasted and the process repeated. My shaft was picked up, and put above the fire. The heat was intense, and I tried very hard not to cry out.

My legs were already red and burnt, when out of nowhere an arrow flies. It hits the fire underneath me and absorbs the flame. The heat leaves me and I sigh in relief. The monsters howl in outrage. More arrows fly from a spot in the trees, downing 2 of the monsters. The others flee and trip over their own pot, their heads landing in the boiling water. They thrash about for just seconds before laying still.

The wolves flee into the forest, whining in fear. A man comes out of the trees. A bow was on his back. He wore a hood, and came over and cut me down. I land on my feet.

"Thank you so much" I say.

"No problem" he replies. His voice was gruff, as though he hadn't spoken in ages.

"I hope you don't mind me asking, but what were those things?" I ask.

"Grimehooks (Grim-ee-hooks), nasty creatures they is" he replies. Then he suddenly melts into the shadows, as if he were never there.

Camp Half-Blood

Third person POV

Craig rushed through camp, yelling something about evidence and traitors. He rushed into the big house, apparently, he had some news.

Chiron was sitting on the front porch, playing cards with Dionysius when Craig rushed up to them, rather out of breath.

"Chiron! I need to visit Olympus!" Craig says quickly and loudly.

"Whatever for?" Chiron asks.

"I have evidence that someone is a traitor!" he says.

Chiron was shocked. "well, go visit Olympus then" he says wearily.

"Umm, how?" asks Craig.

"You go to the empire state building and you… you know what? Ask someone else." Chiron says in annoyance. He didn't like this Craig fellow.

Finally, after much confusion, he worked out how to get to Olympus. He took a cab and was soon standing outside the empire state building.

"I want to go to the 6000th floor!" he yelled to the security guard.

"I am sorry sir but that floor does not exist" he said calmly.

"Don't play dumb with me! I am a demigod!" Craig yelled.

"It does not matter if you are a demigod or not, the fact is the 6000th floor does not exist" he says.

"I know it does! It is where Mount Olympus is!" Craig yelled in annoyance.

"Mount Olympus is floor 600" The security guard says drowsily.

"Fine then! I want the 600th floor!" Craig yelled.

"I am sorry sir but that floor does not exist" the security guard replies, though rally amused.

"But you just said it did!" Craig yelled impatiently.

"I have no idea what you are talking about" he replies.

Craig drew his sword and pushed it up to the security guard.

"Wow, you are a dumb one" the security guard says. "Mount Olympus is the 60th floor."

"Ok, take me to that floor then" Craig says.

"Ok then" he says.

Craig slowly made his way to the 60th floor of the empire state building.

Back down at the reception, the security guard had a good chuckle to himself. That idiot actually believed him when he told him Mount Olympus was on the 60th floor.

Craig was surprised to see an apartment at the 60th floor. Perhaps it was magic or something? He thought. Maybe it is massive on the inside he thought.

He knocked on the door. A woman answered and was very surprised to see a boy there. "I am here to see the gods!" Craig yelled. The woman shut the door and locked it.

"Who was it darling!?" a man's voice came out from the bathroom.

"Some random creep asking to see the Gods!" she replied.

"Should have let him in!" the man yelled laughing.

Craig stood outside the door in annoyance. How dare the door woman stop him from entering Mount Olympus. He pounded on the door yelling about defying the gods wishes. The man of the apartment answered the door and punched Craig in the stomach. Craig's temper flared and he went to punch him back.

The man punched and kicked Craig up and down the corridor.

He was beaten badly and travelled back down the elevator. When the security guard saw, him covered in bruises he burst out laughing.

"All right, all right, very funny." Craig said in annoyance and pain.

The security guard handed him the key to the 600th floor still laughing. Craig limped to the elevator and travelled up to Olympus. The Gods saw him all beat up and bruised and Poseidon burst out laughing for the first time since Percy had gone missing. All the gods bar Zeus followed Poseidon's example and were soon all laughing their heads off.

"SILENCE!" Zeus yelled angrily. "This is my son! You think it is funny he was beat up by a mortal!"

This of course, set the gods off laughing even harder. (They had been watching him the entire time since he came into the empire state building).

Zeus threw his master bolt into the ground ad created a massive sonic boom, shaking Olympus. The gods stopped laughing immediately and looked at Zeus.

"My son, what have you come here for?" Zeus asked.

"I have found evidence that Perseus Jackson has been working with Tartarus and is plotting against the gods!" Craig yelled.

Poseidon looked at him in disbelief. So, did the rest of the gods. Then they laughed.

"Percy Jackson, working against us! Absurd!"

"Tartarus!"

"Percy, fighting us!"

"That's ridiculous!"

These were just some of the sentences the gods choked out during that time. Zeus however, believed his son.

"My son! Present your evidence!" Zeus yelled.

"I have seen him down in the caves of the underworld! Heading in the direction of Tartarus!"

Zeus believed him. "Perseus Jackson! Is now a wanted man!" Zeus declared. The rest of the gods shook their heads in disbelief at the idiocy of Zeus.

Zeus flashed out. The rest of the gods vowed not to give Percy's position away to Zeus.

AN: hey guys! Thanks for reading that chapter. Sorry that there was not much of Percy in it, but alas, that cannot be helped. When I was writing the part with Zeus was slamming his master bolt into the ground, I saw a flash of lightning outside and then the loudest thunder clap I have ever heard. It took some effort to stop my laptop falling off the table. It wasn't even raining.
