CARTER
When the elevator doors opened, I almost caught my breath, the mountain looked old but beautiful at the same time.
'Welcome to Olympus.' Ryan said.
As we walked through the centre square nine woman were setting up for something, they were tuning these harp looking things, what were they called? Lyres. But as they saw me and Sadie, they stopped what they were doing and stared at us.
'Who are they?' Sadie asked Annabeth quietly.
'The nine muses.' Annabeth whispered back.
'You mean like of litrature, music and performing arts?' She asked. Annabeth nodded. We walked past a few old buildings and we stopped in a garden with marble statues of what I assumed were the Greek gods. A large man was moving one of the statues, but when he turned around so I could see his face he only had one eye, which I recognised as a Cyclops.
'No, no, no Tyson,' Annabeth said, running towards the Cyclops. 'I said the statue of Aphrodite would be next to Ares, not Hephaestus!'
The Cyclops nitted his eyebrows together. 'But you said...'
'Yes Tyson, I know what I said but I changed my mind.' Annabeth said. Tyson looked over Annabeth's shoulders and his eye widened.
'PERCY!' He boomed as he ran toawrds said boy and hugged him.
'Yeah, it's nice to see you to bro...' Percy said, almost chocking by his hug.
'Did you say brother?' Sadie asked.
'Well, half brother actually,' Percy said. 'My Dad claimed him and he got me out of a few scraps.'
Tyson then went around and hugged Ryan and Annabeth but when he got to Thalia, she took a step back.
'Nuh uh. No. I will not be hugged by a Cyclops. Ever.' She said and Tyson whined.
Thalia managed to ignore Tyson for about 30 seconds until she couldn't take it anymore. 'Aww, come here, you big pony lover.' She said, hugging him.
The Demigods stared at her. 'What?' She demanded. 'I'm not that cold-hearted!'
'Hey, Tyson, do you know why Zeus wanted to call us?' Ryan asked.
Tyson shook his head. 'Was busy fixing stautes. Only heard Lady Athena say something about the 'bigger threat'.'
Ryan nodded. 'Well, thanks Tyson and good work with the statues.'
We walked to a huge building and the doors were open. Sadie and I followed the Demigods inside, 12 gods and goddesses were sitting around a fire pit, and a god and a goddess were in the midst of an argument. The goddess had long brown hair and startiling grey eyes like Annabeth's, I realised that she was Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and battle. The god had black hair, a neaty trimmed beard and sea green eyes like Percy's, the god was Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.
'I WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER DATING YOUR STUPID EXCUSE OF A SON!' Athena yelled. I asssumed she was talking about Annabeth and Percy because in front of me Percy mumbled, 'And she's at it again.'
'SILENCE!' The man at the head throne yelled. He had a regal expression apon his face, he had black hair, a neatly trimmed beard, like Poseidon's and blue eyes that showed if you didn't obey him, he will burn you to a crisp. 'Poseidon, Athena, we have guests!' The god and goddess emidiitly shut up. Zeus glared at me and Sadie. which was getting really annoying because I didn't know what we did wrong.
Sadie was looking at the gods in awe, I thought this plus the Egyptian gods were too may gods for her to handle, and that her head night blow up from all that information.
[OW! What was that for?]
'Why did you bring these godlings here?' Zeus asked, looking at his children.
'They bumped into us,' Thalia said and the gods raised their eyebrows. 'literally!'
'Well actually, she bumped into me...' Ryan grumbled, gestering towards Sadie and Sadie glared at him.
'Well if you had looked were you were going!' Sadie yelled.
'Well maybe if you had listened to your brother!' Ryan retorted, they were face to face, which didn't help the situation because Ryan was taller than Sadie.
'Why did you call us Dad?' Thalia asked, so that Sadie and Ryan wouldn't kill each other.
'Gaia is awakening.' Athena said.
The Demigods groaned. 'I said it once and I'm going to say it again,' Ryan said. 'I would like one day without any fighting!'
'And we need you to stop her.'
'But how?' Annabeth said. 'We barely survived the last fight with Kronos! Not even the most powerful Demigod can stop her!'
'We could,' I said and the gods, Demigods and Sadie turned to me.
'We could?' Sadie whispered. I nodded.
'Apophis, the snake of Chaos, is rising, if we don't stop it, it will eat the sun and plunge the earth into darkness.' Then one of the gods looked horrified, he had sandy hair and blue eyes. 'D-Did you say eat the sun?' He asked.
One of the godesses rolled her silver eyes. 'No Apollo, he meant the sun as in the Egyptian sun god Ra.'
Apollo seemed to relax a little. 'Oh, I knew that.'
Then thunder boomed and a boy fell from the sky and landed on the floor with a THUD.
'Where am I?' The boy asked. 'One minute I'm in the New Orleans graveyard -'
'Nico.' Thalia said but the boy ignored her.
'and the next minute I'm in -' He looked around. 'Olympus?'
'Nico!' Thalia said a little louder.
'Why in Hades' name am I in Olympus?'
'NICO!' Thalia yelled so loud that even the gods jumped.
'What?' The boy, Nico shouted.
'We don't care about your incedibly boring trip the land of jazzy dead people!'
Thalia then filled Nico in on what he missed and introduced him to us. Sadie waas just staring at him, maybe because he looked like Anubis, the god of funerals.
'Well you should contact - Which Nome are you in?' Athena asked.
'The 21st.' Sadie answered.
'Then you should tell who ever is in charge of the 21st Nome, you may take our children for proof.' The Demigods bowed awkardly to their parents and we went to the elevator.
RYAN
As we walked out of the Empire State Building there was an awkard silence until Sadie said, 'How are we going to get to Brookyln, fly?'
'NO!' Thalia and Percy yelled at the same time. Sadie, Carter and Nico stared at them.
'Why not?' Sadie asked.
'Well, lets just say Zeus doesn't like his brother's son in the air.' Percy said.
Carter looked at Thalia. 'What about you? Your the daughter of the god of the sky, why don't you like flying?'
'She has -' Annabeth started but stopped when Thalia clamped her hand over her mouth.
'She's afraid of heights.' I finished for Annabeth and Thalia whacked me upside the head.
Then Sadie and Nico burst out laughing. 'The daughter of the god of the sky is afraid of heights?' Nico said between laughs. Thalia glared at me, her glare said, 'I' m going to kill you.'
'Why don't we go by boat?' Carter asked.
'NO!' Me and Annabeth said at the same time and again, Carter, Sadie and Nico stared at us.
'And again, why not?' Sadia asked.
'Well lets just say sailing doesn't agree with us.' Annabeth said.
'Why don't we shadow travel?' Percy asked.
Nico nodded his head. 'But we need something bigger, somthing that can shadow travel.' He turned to Percy and smiled. 'Mrs. O'Leary.' They both said.
Percy did his best cab whistle and Mrs. O'Leary came bounding towards me.
'MRS. O'LEARY! NO! HEAL! STOP!' I shouted but she knocked me down and started to lick me.
'Okay Mrs. O'Leary, get off of Ryan.' Percy said, grabbing her collar and getting her off me.
'So, Ryan, Percy, Annabeth and Thalia will go on Mrs. O'Leary and Carter and Sadie with go with me.' Nico said.
'Uhh, were's the 21st Nome?' Percy asked as we got on Mrs. O'Leary.
'Brooklyn, the House of Life.' Carter said. Percy whispered the location in Mrs. O'Leary's ear and she bound off into the shadows.
If you haven't been shadow travelling before then I advise you don't do it if your afraid of the dark, sprits whispering in your ear or chills going spine. The shadows melted into a new scene, it looked like it was in Brooklyn, lots of warehouses lined the streets and when I looked up at one of the warehouses and saw a mansion on top.
'Is that a mansion on top of that warehouse?' I asked.
Sadie and Carter looked at me. 'You can see it?' They asked at the same time.
'Yeah, quite clearly acutally, must be the Mist.' I said. We walked to the top of the warehouse and in front of the mansion.
'So, what do you think?' Sadie asked.
'Well it's not that big...' I mumbled and Sadie glared at me. 'Well compared to Olympus...' We walked inside and I saw kids, the youngest mabye 10 and the oldest about 14 who were all over the house, candy wrappers covered the floor and trainers were skattered all over the place, it kind of reminded me of the Hermes cabin back at camp. A girl came running up to Carter, shhe had sleek black hair that stopped at her jawbone and amber eyes thar said if you didn't listen to what she was saying, she would burn you until there was nothing left.
'Carter I -' She stopped and gave me, Thalia, Annabeth, Percy and Nico a critical look. 'Who are they?'
'I'll tell you later, where's Amos?' Carter asked her.
'He's on the terrance.' She gave me one last critical look before she ran off.
'Who was that?' I asked Carter.
'You'll meet her when you meet Amos.' Carter answered as we followed him to the terrance. Sitting on the terrance was a man who was reading a newspaper, he had coffee coloured skin, brown eyes and corn rows. He had wire rimmed glasses that were tinted blue and a brown suit, he kind of looked like one of those jazz players. The man looked up from his newpaper and looked at Carter and Sadie.
'Ahh, you two are home,' The man said and then he looked at us. 'Who's this?' Carter then introduced us, the man was there uncle, who was called Amos, he was the host of the god of chaos, Set. Then Carter talked about Gaia rising and how we could defeat them together.
Then the girl who had talked to Carter came in. 'Carter Kane! You owe me an explaination!'
After the girl sat down Carter again, did introductions. The girl was called Zia, she's the host of Nephthys, the goddess of rivers and she was entombed in a place called the Place of the Red Sands, so a Shabti, (which as far a I could figure was a magical clay figure) was put in her place. Amos looked like he was thinking about the whole 'end of the world' thing.
After Carter told Zia everything, Zia looked like she was going to throw up. She turned to Amos. 'Are you serious? Sending two magicans and five Demigods to the deepest part of the Underworld to defeat the two things that could destroy the world! That's insane!'
Amos swirled his wand in his hand. 'We have no choice. By my guess you have only 10 days to defeat Apophis and Gaia. I will assign each Demigod a room that you may stay the night and a guide.'
'But Amos!' Zia protested.
Amos rose his hand. 'It is for the best. Percy and Annabeth will go with Carter, Zia, you will take Thalia and Nico and Sadie will take Ryan.'
'WHAT?' Sadie yelled. 'Why doesn't Carter take Ryan? I don't want to be with this idiot!'
'Hey!' I yelled. 'I'm not a idiot! And I'm not going anywhere with this annoying British brat!'
'Just because your Dad is the king if the gods doesn't mean you have to be all high and mighty!' Sadie yelled.
'Just because I'm older than you!' I retorted.
'Enough!' Amos yelled. 'I have chosen, you cannot swap with others and you may indroduce them to some of the other magicans.'
SADIE
So, I have just been assigned to show the most annoying, idiotic guy around the Nome. I showed him the Great Room, the libary and the training arena then Khufu, our golden baboon came up with a packet of Cheerios.
'Whats up with the Cheerios?' Ryan whispered to me.
'Khufu only eats food that ends in 'O' like Cheerios, Jell-O, flamingos.' I said.
'But they end in 'S'.' Ryan pointed out. I rolled my eyes.
Khufu held out his basketball. 'Arrgh!' He grunted.
'He want to play one on one with you.' I translated.
Ryan nodded. 'Sure.' Ryan followed me and Khufu into the training arena. Ryan had gone into the changing rooms to get changed into something more cooler and when he came out, he was wearing a grey vest top whiched show his well built arms.
[Shut up Carter! It's not like you do this Zia!]
Ryan and Khufu stood in the centre circle and when Khufu threw the ball up Ryan grabbed the ball out of the air and started to dribble to his basket, Khufu wasn't that far behind him and at the last minute Ryan turned around when Khufu was about jump on him and Ryan dodged and slam dunked the ball into the basket. Khufu just stared at Ryan but then he patted him on the back as if to say, Well done! Your better than Carter at this!
'How did you do that?' I asked him.
'I have ADHD.' He said, like that explained everything.
As Ryan went to change, I sat outside and started to read a book, which I wouldn't of been high on my 'to do' list but there was nothing else to do.
Ryan came out and sat next to me. 'What are you reading?' He asked.
'It has a title.' I said.
'What's it called?'
'Why don't you read it?' I asked, handing him the book.
He stared at the book. 'S-Series O-Of Un-un...' He stuttered.
I gave him an annoyed look. 'Are you trying to be stupid?' I asked. 'Because if you are, it's working.'
Ryan glared at me. 'I'm not stupid, I'm just Dyslexic.' He grumbled.
I had heard about Dyslexia before, you can't read properly and the words float around the page. I found myself staring at the scar on Ryan's cheek, I had always wondered what happened to make him have such a big scar.
'What happened?' I asked.
Ryan looked at me and raised an eyebrow. 'What do you mean?'
'How did you get that scar?' I said.
'Oh...' He said, looking down. 'It's - uhh, it's a long story, it has something to do with how my mom died.'
