Percy

I don't think it was too bad... cause I didn't really do anything yet. When Nico had told me to start working I had almost plunged my hands into lava and burned them off, well if Nico didn't stop me. Then I almost crushed the bones in my fingers by nearly hitting a hammer on them... if Nico didn't stop me.

Oh yeah and the fact that I kept tripping over my chains and kept falling near really deathly dangerous stuff. Like rocks, other people's lava pits, nearly slicing myself in half by tripping near a bloody metal ax.

"So do you get it now Percy?"

Nico was explaining to me on how to build a sword... again.

"Hmm?" Oh yea I might not having been listening, "Oh yeah I totally get it"

"Great, cause I'm tired of reaching you how to not die" then he walked back to his station and continued his work.

Well the first time I didn't listen to him I nearly stabbed myself by holding the sword the "wrong way" but this is my second try and I have learned from my mistakes

Everything was going great! Well for the first three seconds

"PERCY! You are holding the sword wrong! What the, Percy stop you are going to stab yourself! Hold it like this, what no, not that way! Oh my gods Percy, what are you doing? PERCY STOP! Ok put the sword down, no not there! Ok stop, just stop, DO NOT MOVE!" He walked out of his station and came towards me.

He looked at me like a teacher would look at a misbehaving student.

"DI IMMORTALES! I turn my back for THREE seconds and you are about to kill yourself! AGAIN! WHY PERCY! You are such a moron! WHY can't you just listen to the instructions, most new people do not kill themselves every three seconds! And don't you dare blame ADHD, I have it too!" Nico scolded

"...sorry?"

Nico placed his head in his hands, "What am I going to do with you?" He muttered

He looked back up at me, "why don't you take a break Percy?"

"But I'm not tired!" I protested

"I SAID TAKE A BREAK!" He yelled in a frustrating tone.

I decided not to push him and sat down. I knew we weren't supposed to, soon a guard would come over and whip us a few times and tell us to get back to work, well if they saw us that is.

I didn't know Nico very well, just a couple of things. That he was a son of Hades, an only child and that he had a traumatic childhood, but he didn't go into details. I didn't push him cause I didn't want to lose my only friend here.

Well I considered him as a friend, not sure what he thinks.

The guards weren't in sight and I was getting kind bored, my ADHD acting up. Nico was sitting with his face in his hands thinking about who know what. I wasn't gonna go against what Nico wanted me to do, he was kinda scary when he was mad. But I needed to do something, so I decided to take a risk.

"Hey Nico?"

"What do you want Percy?" He asked tiredly, "Can't you sit still for just five minutes?"

"...no"

He groaned in response but didn't say anything.

A few seconds went by before he said, "What do you want Percy? Spit it out"

"I was just kinda wondering how you got stuck here..." I asked, a little scared of how he would react.

He glanced up and looked at me, "I don't really like to talk about it"

I knew that was coming,"oh, ok, that's ok I just wondered"

More seconds went by and Nico groaned again and looked at me, got him. I'm just that good, and maybe because I was giving him puppy eyes that I knew no one, not even Annabeth could resist.

"Look, I just happened to be in Crete one day and I was walking by the sea shore when I saw a bunch of monsters running toward me, I tried to make a break for it by the surrounded me and knocked me out, next thing I know I'm here in this dump."

"Oh, that um, oh" I wasn't exactly sire what to say...

"Really all I get is an 'oh'?" He rolled his eyes and turned away.

It wasn't the entire story like I was hoping for, like how he got into Crete or what he was doing on the beach but, it was progress.

Eventually, we saw the guards coming toward us and we got up. "Get to work Percy, you know what happens if the guards see us!" Nico warned

Two guards came up to our working station, "Hey!" One of them yelled "Were you to taking a break?" He said the word with absolute disgust.

"No, of course not! Why would we do that when working is SOOOO much fun?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Is that sarcasm I hear young man?"

"No, sir"

"Hmm, you sure you weren't taking a break? We didn't hear this one," The guard pointed to Nico, "screaming at you to not kill yourself"

"Maybe I'm just that good." I said, with a smirk on my face.

"Then why don't you prove it, make a sword and we'll watch, if you can't do it than you're lying" He said.

"Oh, um, uh" The smirk wiped off my face. Dang, these guys weren't as dumb as I thought they were.

"You wouldn't want be to tell Polybotes that you guys were sitting around watching some moron instead of doing your rounds around the forge would you?" Nico asked smugly

"Why should he believe you?" He answered back nervously

"Hmm lets think, I believe I could, what do you say, swear on the styx that it was the truth?" Nico said smirking.

Dang. That's good.

"I'll get you Di Angelo, one day" The guard said angrily, then he walked away.

"Nice bro!"

"Shut up and get back to work Percy" Nico said

"Ok, ok!"

Several hours went by and I think I kinda got the hang of making a sword without killing myself.

"Hey Nico! How does this look?" I said, showing my finished sword.

"It's all jagged Percy" Nico said in reply

"But wouldn't that make it just that more deadly?" I asked

"Huh I suppose your right, it looks ok I guess." He said then went back to work.

I put the sword in the pile of the finished swords, sure it wasn't the best, but it was my first completed one, I'll get better at it.

As I walked back to my station I heard a loud neigh coming from across the forge.

Some of the monsters were torturing the pegasi!

"Hey Percy get to work!" Nico yelled

But I wasn't paying attention to Nico, all my focus was one that poor animal that didn't deserve to be treated like that.

Anger bubbled up inside of me and I felt a powerful tug in my gut.

"Percy? You okay?"

But I didn't hear anything Nico said. The last straw was when another guard came up with two whips in his hand, each with pointy thorns running along the ropes.

And he hit her. The pegasi screamed and collapsed on the ground, neighing in pain.

All my focus was on the pegasi that I didn't realize I was releasing a sea green aura. I wanted to help the horse. No, I NEEDED to help the horse. I released the strong tug in my gut and was surrounded my a hurricane of water.

"Oh My God Percy!" Nico screeched

The water lifted me off the ground and swirled faster around me. A bright light surrounded both me and the hurricane.

Then things got weird, My skin looked like it was transforming into something.

I can't transform into anything! Only Frank can do that!

I was scared. I didn't know what was going on! It's never happened to me before.

"What's happening to me!" I screamed!

Ah, the beloved cliff hanger. Don't you all just love me? Well that's it for this chapter. don't forget to review! BAI! MUAHAHA! -greekgodsrox
