Chapter 3:

I became a pup

Lupa, Weine told me, is something like the camp director. She controls who gets to be a camper by testing the 'pup' to see if he or she is worthy. That's what I was going to do right now. But

also Lupa is the leader so if anything happens it has to be informated to her; also she is the one that takes the major decisions. That was the other part I was there for, IF Lupa approved

me as a camper, then we will get to discuss with her my memory issues, but that only if I am accepted.

Ohh and by the way Lupa is a she-wolf goddess.

When we arrived at her 'cave' we waited outside until a reddish wolf came outside and gestured us to go inside.

We followed the wolf into the darkness of the cave until we could no longer see the light of the day that came thru the entrance.

after some minutes walking we entered another part of the cave that was slightly illuminated by the light of some torches, there standing was a big wolf, about the size of a horse with a

warm chocolaty red coat and eyes that glowed silver, Lupa the she-wolf goddess.

Reyna and Weine bowed and I followed their example, Reyna after some seconds raised her gaze from the floor to Lupa and spoke

"Lupa this is a demigod I found by the shore on the outsides of the legionaries section, nearly on the border of camp. he has lost his memories and doesn't remember anything about his past

life" she the looked away for some seconds and finally added " I believe his appearance may be connected to Jason's disappearance"

"stand up my pups" Weine and Reyna got up, but I stay on the ground " you too demigod"

I rose and looked directly at her.

"Your name half-blood?"

"Perc- Perseus Jackson"

"Perseus uh? Powerful name, also one of the only heroes that weren't killed at a young age, such a lame he was Greek..."

"Excuse me? I... don't understand what you are talking about"

" ahh... your memories are indeed lost, but you knew about the gods didn't you? tell me youngling, did the film show you something?"

"No, it just told me my name and said 'brace yourself' then shut down"

" brace yourself... powerful advice, but can be given only to powerful spirits, are you? Will you prove worthy Perseus Jackson?"

"I... I will" I said suddenly more sure of myself.

"We'll see then" with that the light of the torches went down and I saw how Lupa walked away of the room, pushing Reyna and Weine away with her paw. I was alone.

I reached unconsciously for my pocket and took out a pen, I looked at it. It was so familiar. But what was I supposed to do with a pen?

'Uncap it' a voice inside my head said, but it wasn't mine.

What..? Ohh never mind, I was already getting my life was weird.

I uncapped it and the pen grew larger and into a gold sword.

'Anaklusmos' the voice in my head said again.

Riptide, I thought. That was the translation from Greek to English, right?

Wait a minute I knew Greek? Never mind...

I heard a growl.

Five pairs of eyes appeared, moving around me like a predator moves towards its prey.

And I was the prey. Not good.

I raised anaklusmos and moved it towards my closer pair of eyes. The faint gold glow of the sword illuminated the creature and I could see what it was.

A jet black wolf. As I saw it all my fears suddenly rose to the exterior, but the fear wasn't for the wolf. It was the wolf's presence what made my fears came out to surface. Suddenly the

beast started to change becoming something that looked like a bull, only that half of it was human.

'The Minotaur' the voice in my head said.

Suddenly I wasn't there anymore; I was running towards a hill with a pine tree on top of it.

A woman was helping me carry a boy about my age, but where his feet should be there were hooves. I recognized him from my dream. Grover, the boy I was linked to.

I turned around and saw the Minotaur chasing us.

I came back to reality.

The Minotaur was standing in front of me and as he smelled me he attacked.

I ducked and he approached closer, I sidestepped and walked away from him. I looked around and saw the other four remaining eyes waiting for me to finish battling the Minotaur. I turned

again to face my opponent, he was snuffling, trying to know where I was.

'He doesn't see too well' the voice spoke again.

The Minotaur detected me and started running towards me like a bull attacking. I waited till the last minute and then sidestepped. The movement felt familiar, like it was something I had

done before. It brought a flashback.

I was at the hill again, and the woman was carrying Grover. She left it on the ground and I watched as she started running away from him, the Minotaur following her.

The Minotaur detected her and started running towards her, she tried to sidestep it but the Minotaur didn't fall from the trick. He cached her with his hand and holds her up in the air. Then

she turned into gold dust.

Noooo...

I came back to reality and what I saw hit me hard. The Minotaur was coming towards me again and it was only few meters away.

Time to think fast.

I jumped just as the Minotaur was about to hit me, I landed on top of him and slashed riptide on its head. The Minotaur roared in rage and tried to take me off him. I grabbed to his horn and

with my other hand stabbed him with riptide on the back. He roared and started turning back into a jet black wolf that remained motionless on the floor.

I turned and faced the second wolf. It was reddish brown and as soon as I saw him, it started changing into something big, a big guy with only one eye.

'Poliphemus the cyclop' the voice said.

The cyclop was big, and with that I mean huge. He was nearly 3 meters tall and his big eye was all damaged. He couldn't see I realized, not with such a damaged eye.

"Who is here? I can smell you" poliphemus roared.

" ehhh... no-nobody is here" I said without hiding my fear. Oh great, now he heard me... I'm just brilliant.

"Nobody! Roarrr I will kill you this time nobody!"

Oh wait. He believed me? Well looks like I'm not the stupid one here after all.

He started coming for me, but I just dove and run silently to the other direction, I was facing his back now.

"NOBODY! I will kill you!"

I slashed riptide against his back and he roared and turned. I quickly got away from his embrace and stabbed him with riptide on the arm.

He roared again in pain and picked me by the neck. I couldn't breath.

"I got you nobody! And this time you will not escape"

I needed air. I was loosing my force quickly. I was fading... I dropped riptide and it stabbed the Cyclops feet.

He roared and let me go by frowning me against a rock.

I took a deep breath.

Riptide. I had lost it. How was I gonna fight this monster without a weapon?

'It will always reappear in your pocket'

I checked but came out with nothing. I guess it takes some time.

So I run and hide behind the rock waiting for riptide to appear.

"NOBOOODY! Where are you? You may have fooled me in the past, but not this time"

I grabbed a rock and thrower it against the opposite wall from where I was.

"I got you!"

He runner and started looking for my where the rock had landed, but he found nothing.

At that time riptide appeared in my pocket. I grabbed it and uncapped it while I was running towards poliphemus.

I stabbed riptide on his back with all my force. And he falls to the ground and slowly turned back into a reddish brown wolf.

I took riptide out of the wolfs back, and slowly turned back. 3 remaining eyes were watching me now.

The closest ones approached me and I saw a gray wolf that began turning into...

ohh great, here we go again.

'A manticore...' the voice said

the monster was huge. Its upper part was the body of a human. The man had a hawkish face and was clean shaven. It had short grey hair and his eyes were one blue and the other one

brown.

The other part was the body of a lion with a leathery spiky scorpion like tail in its end that bristled with spikes at the tip, being able to shoot poisonous missiles with the end of the tail.

"Percy jjjaackson" the manticore said putting emphasis on the j. it had an accent, maybe French.

Its nostrils flared as he spoke, which in another occasion I would have found funny.

"Manticore..." I said trying not to show any fear.

" funny thing you call me that young hero, I thought you liked my mortal name better."

"I don't remember..."

"Ohh... so you don't remember our previous encounter? Such a shame... good times"

"what happened before..?" I said trying to get information.

" Dr. Thorn. That's my mortal name. You really don't remember kid? The di Angelos?"

"Dr. Thorn... di Angelo..." I mumbled trying to remember.

"As I said such a shame. But this time you wont have help from those hunters" and as he said that he charged.

I skipped to the side and told myself to concentrate on the battle; I could try to remember later.

Dr. Thorn didn't loose time. As soon as he discovered he hadn't got me, he shoot me missiles with his tail. I ducked and saw how close he had been to get me.

I reincorporated and slashed the manticores feet with riptide.

The monster roared in agony as he shot me with more missiles. I quickly evaded them and rolled to the other side of Dr. Thorn. I stabbed him on the chest and evaded another group of

missiles. But this time I wasn't so lucky. One of the missiles got me on the arm and I could feel the poison burning my arm.

The poison was spreading quickly thru my whole arm, but I somehow knew that it wouldn't spread past it.

Luckily my poisoned arm was the left one so I could still fight properly.

I took away the pain from my mind.

'Later', I told my burning arm.

Focussing entirely on the fight.

The manticore used those seconds to sweep his tail to my feet trying to make me fall; I jumped and evaded it when the tail tried to get me again. I rolled outside of its side getting away of

his rage.

Okay Perce think... how do I destroy this monster... its major menace its the tail, so I should stay out of the tail league or destroy it...

Crazy idea time.

I stand up and charged at dr. thorn and at the last second I jumped and landed on dr. thorns back riding his lions back like a horse.

The monster tried to throw me out of him without luck. Then he raised his scorpion like tail and shoot me, I evaded them and the missiles landed on the manticores back making it roar in

anger. I took the chance and slashed the monsters tail with riptide, cutting it at the half, making poison fly thru the air spreading around.

I somehow managed to stand up on the back of the manticore and jumped as I made a final blow stabbing dr. thorn on the back with riptide.

The monster stopped fighting and fall to the ground. With me standing above it, it slowly began to change into a gray wolf.
