Chapter Eight:

Percy:

When I woke up, I didn't expect to see what I saw. So when I opened my eyes, naturally the first thing I did was promptly lay back down. After all, it wasn't unusual to see a sword over my bed.

Wait what? I sat bolt up. It was my sword, Riptide. How it got up there I might never know. I stood up on my bed and stretched, ready to get my sword down, when I noticed the note tied neatly to my sword with a blood red bow ties to it. I took the note. It read,

Training starts tomorrow night.

-C

I frowned, as I took riptide down. This isn't right, hanging a sword over my head is crazy. Makes me wonder, what I have gotten myself into?

"And that's how it's made," Athena finished. I looked up from my paper. Athena was explaining the cycle of atoms.

"Er right. Very interesting. Can I leave now?" She raised an eyebrow at me. Bad move, I mentally chanted in my head. Very bad move.

"Well then," She narrowed her eyes, "You must understand the theory and the cycle of the atom. So I supposed you could write me a three page essay on the properties."

My eye twitched. "Yes, lady Athena."

NICO:

My day started horribly. First I wake up to the smell of rotten flesh. Then I have to run two miles just so Cerberus could get his exercise, and now I'm stuck getting marriage advice from Hera.

"Lady Hera?" I asked She turned to me with an evil eye. She wasn't too fond of being interrupted.

"Yes, Mr. di Angelo?" Her voice was very cold when she said it. I flinched slightly. Hera was not one to messed with at the best of times.

"I was wondering, I know this isn't what you teach, but I was wondering, who's Nynx?" I said tentatively. She froze for a second before answering.

"She is a primordial goddess. She lies in Tarturus. You don't go near her, and that's all you need to know," she said before going back to her lecture.

Wow, so much information, I thought sarcastically.

Back to the underworld. I can't wait for the headache Charon is going to give me. I sighed. Maybe I could fire him and find someone else to do it.

Thalia:

"Don't put to much blush on the doll. We don't need her looking like a tomato." I was ready to stab this brush in her eye. This is useless.

Just when I was going to flip the table, Father came in, "I'm sorry, Aphrodite, but lessons are over for the day. We have a meeting. Thalia, go to your room and do not leave." He left after that.

Great, now I'm stuck in my room! I don't even get good IM reception there. I stomped my way out of there. What could possibly be so important that I cant hear about it?

What if they found out? No impossible. They couldn't have. But they are gods. Ughh, this is confusing.

The Throne Room:

Gathered around in a circle sat the twelve Olympians, plus Hades and Hestia. "Something's wrong," Apollo muttered, his usual happy demeanor gone. Hermes nodded in agreement.

"Eyes are the window to the soul. And right now, their eyes look different," Athena muttered

"True. Something isn't okay. Thalia wasn't really paying attention in my class. True, she never really does, but she seemed more dazed and angry," Aphrodite said sharply.

"Something isn't right," were the last words anyone said before the group lapsed into silence.

Hi go ahead and kill me. I know you want to. So yeah pretty short right? Sorry about that. Thank you Lindsy7918AwesomeasPercabeth. She is my beta and she gives me awesome feedback. So thank you!
