Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy POV

It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Instead of normal buildings there were different shaped domes that glistened. The streets were actually gold and there was a giant castle in the distance that looked perfect. The castle was made out of shell but was perfectly smooth and looked amazing. There were guards everywhere though which kind of took away the greatness of Atlantis. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to do something or were panicking. The city itself reminded me of Mt. Olympus except better and the citizens reminded me of New York City.

"Why is everyone in such a rush?" I asked my father.

"Were preparing for the upcoming battle my son." He replied like there was nothing important about it.

"What battle!?" I asked a little louder than I meant to.

"The battle against Oceanus and Tethys. Also a few monsters thrown in here and there." Poseidon stated, "I would like you to help me actually battle against Oceanus and Tethys while my soldiers are taking out the monsters."

"But father," I started, " im just a half-blood. I can't defeat a Titan."

"That's one of the reasons I brought you down here," Poseidon stated, "you aren't ready to defeat a Titan… yet."

Poseidon began to walk ahead of me and motioned me to go a little faster. I did and arrived with Poseidon at the magnificent castle which is even better on the inside. Poseidon wouldn't let me marvel over any part of the amazing castle. Instead he just continued walking in one certain direction, eventually stopping every once in a while to see how the war preparations were going. Each person/fish we got the same answer.

"Where are we going?" I finally asked after twenty minutes of walking.

"To the training rooms.." He said simply like it were obvious where we were going in this castle of about 1,000 rooms.

"How much longer until we reach these training rooms?" I whined.

"Were here." He replied obviously not paying attention to my whining.

"WOW!!" Was all I could say.

It was everything you could possibly need to get in shape. There were weight lifting machines, treadmills, Bow flex (I thought this one was strange to be in here), a protein shake maker, machines for you legs, machines for your arms, and every other type of machine. There was even a sword fighting arena in a back room. Poseidon told me that after two hours of working out we would practice with swords.

As I got started I realized that the were stereos all around the gym. I called out In To Deep by Sum 41 and the music started playing. This was not going to be such a bad two hours. I didn't realize that I wasn't that physically strong.

TWO HOURS LATER

And…… fifty. Another fifty on a different machine and I am officially worn out. Has it been two hours yet? YES!!! Wait, that means more work. NO!! Dad better bring waters or there is no way I am going to be able to get through this.

As soon as I thought about this The Earth shaker walked through the doors with a bottle of water. He passed the water to me and I immediately dumped half of it over my head and drank the rest of it. Automatically energy began to surge through me and I felt like I could beat Poseidon in this sword fight. If we have one.

As my father walked into the sword fighting arena he grabbed a sword. He told me to use Riptide. I nodded and pulled out the ballpoint pen that is Riptide. As I uncapped it I stopped for a second and saw Poseidon immediately stop. He was going to attack as soon as possible huh? Alright. Knowing this I uncapped Riptide and jumped at Poseidon slashing down with Riptide.

He blocked my attack and side stepped to the right and stabbed. I rolled as fast as possible and stabbed Poseidon foot. With Riptide in his foot holding him down for a few seconds I unsheathed Tidal Wave, jumped up over Poseidon with the new found energy from the water, and slashed down controlling the water to form a whip. I watched as the water whip hit Poseidon in the shoulder leaving a cut with ichor coming out of it.

Poseidon took out his trident and Riptide retreating back to my pocket like always. He then attempted to stab me. I did a perry thrust combo but he dodged and grabbed me. I tried to get away but as a god he was way to strong. Poseidon threw me to the ground with the tips of the trident and my chest. I made absolutely sure not to move a muscle in fear of being stabbed by a trident.

My father put away the trident and helped me up. He congrgulated me on making me take his trident out in our first battle and he was very impressed with me using Riptide and Tidal Wave as a perfect move.

"Father," I asked, "can I have a drachma to iris message someone?"

"Sure," Poseidon answered while reaching in his pocket to grab one, "but only if you tell me who your going to IM."

"Im not sure yet." I responded while taking the coin and thanking my dad.

When I got back to my bedroom my stuff was already put away. Less work for me I guess. I sat on my bed thinking about who to iris message. It was either going to be Annabeth or Amy. I told Amy I would message her but Annabeth is pissed at me so I want to talk to her. This for some reason is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made in my life. It feels like im deciding on more than just who to IM.

As I looked around the room for some kind of answer I noticed a drachma on my dresser with a note attached to it.

Dear Percy,

I hope Janus didn't cause to much confusion with that decision. Here is one drachma. It is not yet your time to decide this life changing question. Not yet.

Love,

Hera

Well at least I won't have to decide yet. I used the first drachma to message Amy and tell her im alright and see how things are going. The second one will be used to call Annabeth. This might end bad. I flipped the drachma into the rainbow that I made using my power over water.

"Oh Iris goddess of the rainbow except my offering. Annabeth Chase, Camp Half-Blood."

After I did this it showed an image of Annabeth on her bed sitting down with her head on a pillow whoch was in her lap. I didn't know what to say so I decided to wing it.

"Hey Annabeth?" I greeted hesitantly.

Annabeth looked over and scowled. Apparently she did not want to talk to me.

"What do you want Perceus?" Annabeth replied coldly.

"Why are you mad at me?" I asked. I already knew the answer but I was just hoping that I was wrong.

"You know exactly why." Annabeth said.

"Please," I started, "is there anything I can do to make you not mad?"

"Im not even sure anymore." Annabeth admitted.

"A daughter of Athena not sure of something?" I said. She gave me the death glare which wasn't a good sign. Especially not the Athena death glare. "obviously not the best time for humor."

"Just leave me alone Perceus." Annabeth insisted.

"Not until you give me a way to make you not mad at me." I replied.

"No," Annabeth said, "the only way is for you o figure it out yourself." She then swiped away the iris message leaving me on the other side depressed and guilty.

I don't know why I felt guilty. I mean so I loved Amy. So what. As I stood there trying to figure out how to make things right a guard came running inot my room.

"Lord!!" The guard yelled, "We are under attack! Come to the battlefield quick!"
