Chapter 7- Immortality for…

Percy POV

I was sitting by the fire in Zarcrix's hut, or house. My leg and wrist were broken, and I couldn't put any weight on them. I could not do anything except sleep, hop around and eat. My leg and wrist prevented me from any sort of training, I could only hope Zarcrix gets here soon.

Just as I thought that, Zarcrix flashed in looking slightly out of breath.

"Hi Zarcrix" I say, surprised that he came so early.

"Hey" he says simply.

"What were you doing? You look slightly out of breath?" I ask.

"I was having a practice duel with my brother Craotos." He replies nonchalantly, as though it was unimportant.

"Oh" I say, surprised.

"Anyways, I suppose you want me to help you with your broken leg and wrist?" he says.

"If you could, I really want to start training again." I say, hoping for a positive answer.

"All right then" he says.

He touches my broken leg and there was a quick flash of light and it was healed, he then did the same thing with my wrist.

"Good luck training, I will be back in 1 months' time" he says before flashing out.

I grin. Time to train. I rush outside to see the metal practice dummies I could use. They were all animated, allowing for a good training session I hoped. I draw riptide and press the on switch by the wall. The practice dummies come to life and draw a variety of different weapons. Battle axes, swords, spears, lances, knives, bows, all sorts of weapons.

There is 6 in total. I briefly glance to the other end of the field and see 6 booths, but I don't know what they are for. The dummies run at me, or are they robots. The weapons swung like mad, as though they had technique, made to move and act like a person.

I leap at the first robot, slashing riptide at it, which it blocks easily. I stab riptide and then slash as fast as I could, but the robot just dodges and swings its axe at me, which I was barely able to duck under. I took the opportunity of being on the ground and stab upwards with riptide, but the robot swings its axe to block.

I roll to the side and get to my feet, barely dodging an arrow fired from the robot holding the bow. The robots seemed to let me fight them one at a time as the others weren't attacking, just watching with interest. With a growl, I leap forward with riptide bared in front of me. The robot swings it axe but I use riptide to deflect the axe to my left. I stab riptide through its metal scull, and it falls backwards. I glance towards the booths and see the robot I had just defeated restoring itself in there. I look down and realise the robot was gone. So, that was what they were for.

The robot with the sword was easy to beat, as I knew the sword technique very well. The robot with the spear and the robot with the knife were also easy. Then came the robot with the bow.

I watch it carefully, hoping it would not fire arrows too quickly. The first arrow comes flying towards me with a twang out of the bow. I barely leap out of the way in time and the arrow flies past my foot. I run towards the robot, but I was barely able to jump out of the way as two arrows shoot from the bow. I was desperate now, as I could get nowhere near the robot without arrows flying at me. Desperation filled me and I through riptide. It spun crazily through the air, before hitting the surprised robot in the chest, downing it.

The robot with the lance, was a bit like the robot with the spear except the lance was far deadlier. I only just manage to beat it. I sit down sweating and breathing heavily. I have plenty of cuts on my body from the hard training session. With a groan, I manage to heave myself up and walk back to the house, where I immediately fall asleep in the bedroom labelled "Guest" by one of Zarcrix's sticky notes.

Third person POV

Craig was happy. He had tricked Zeus into thinking Percy was a criminal. Of course, he hadn't seen Percy anywhere near Tartarus, as he didn't go anywhere near there, far too scary for Craig.

Craig was walking through camp, when suddenly a dumb idea came through his mind. What if he went to Zeus and said he had a quest to go on, and that it would be great if he was immortal. Then, if that worked, he would tell him the quest was to hunt down Percy Jackson. If he were immortal, he could destroy Jackson. With a grin, Craig set off to the empire state building.

When he arrived, he went to the security guard. He noticed that the guard had changed, but thought for the best. He went up to right up to the security guard.

"Oi! Give me the key for the 600th floor!" Craig yelled.

The security guard looked at him weirdly and said; "Umm, there is no such thing…"

"Don't play dumb with me! I know there is!" Craig yelled.

The security guard searched through the assortment of keys and was surprised to find there was actually a key for floor 600. Thinking it must be a mistake, he threw it in the bin.

"I am terribly sorry, but there is no 600th floor" he said.

Craig growled and walked outside and sat on a bench, hoping the security guard that was supposed to be there wouldn't take long getting back.

Said security guard was having a lunch break, and had gotten a random person to guard the empire state building.

Craig waited for over 2 hours before the security guard finally came back, and walked into the empire state building.

"Thanks for giving me a break" the original security guard said.

"No problem" replied the fill in security guard.

"Oh and by the way, did anyone ask for the 600th floor?" said the security guard as he sat down.

"Yes actually, I wondered about that. There was a key for it and everything, I thought it must be a mistake so I threw it in the bin." Said the fill in.

The original security guard immediately started rummaging through the bin until he found the key to the 600th floor.

Craig walked in, having seen the exchange, and asked for the 600th floor.

"I'm sorry sir, that floor does not exist" said the security guard.

"Come on man, you know me, and I refuse to be tricked again" said Craig.

"Fine, but only because I don't want some demigod brat spoiling my lunch." Said the security guard.

Craig travelled up to Mount Olympus, still seething at the security guard.

He walked into the throne room to see just Zeus there, sitting on his throne.

"Father" Craig said, bowing his head.

"My son!" yelled Zeus.

"Hello Dad" said Craig.

"What have you come to Mount Olympus for?" asked Zeus.

"I have received a quest from the Oracle, and as you know, I must partake in the quest, which I intend to do, but I was hoping for immortality to help me with my quest." Craig said.

"What is this quest?" asked Zeus, proud of his son.

"I must capture Percy Jackson" replied Craig.

Zeus's eyes widened, and then he grinned.

"They couldn't have chosen a better person!" he yelled.

Zeus began to chant and when he was done, Craig was immortal. He immediately rushed down to camp Half-blood and gathered his 3 best friends Thodos, Modos and Codos, triplets of Ares. They set off in search of Percy Jackson.

Meanwhile, Zarcrix was informing Percy of what had happened. Percy did not take Craig being immortal to well.
