I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians
My family had allowed me to invite all of my friends to come along with us and meet the Royal Family of Athens. I had many Friends, but I decided to invite only my most loyal friends, my fellow warriors and comrades; Grover, Nico, Jason, and Leo. We had already set sail for Athens at daybreak, and while my friends and family sat in their respective cabins, I stood on deck with helmsman, reminiscing about my past, about the days when I had learnt that I was a demigod.
I met Grover when I was just twelve, that was also the day I found out that I was a demigod. I was walking in a dark, cold forest along with other initiate Spartan warriors, led by our mentor Chiron. As we walked to the Stygian mountains through the black forest it was then that I saw a small animal sprint across the forest path and I decided to chase after it.
That was my first and last mistake till date. I would have been perfectly safe with the rest of the group, but no, I decided to be an arse and chase after an unknown animal in the middle of a monster infested dark forest. When I left the worn out path, It was then that I noticed the dark figure looming behind me. I took in my surroundings and realised that I had entered a small clearing decorated with dead flowers and broken tree branches, never ever had I seen a monster so hideous, a Furie.
The 'Security Guards' of the underworld is what I preferred to call them. Ugly, was an understatement. She was repulsive. That's still an understatement, but you get what I mean. So, that 'thing' just gave me a horrific glare. I heard the green shrubs behind me start to rustle, but I did not dare to look. If I move for even an inch I would be Percy-kebab... or maybe sushi? I was not sure, but I did not want to find out. The rustling behind me was louder and I noticed it came from two different directions. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a satyr running towards something. Then I saw what that 'something' was. It was my old crippled mentor. I had no idea how my day could get stranger, but it did.
My wise mentor shouted, "Perceus!"
I was shocked. Scratch that, I had no idea how I felt. There were so many emotions running through my body. I have always wondered what my facial expression looked like on that day. But, my day was just about to get stranger. Chiron was not using his cane because he had the lower portion of a white stallion.
I like horses, don't get me wrong, but when you find out that your old mentor is not completely human, one does tend to freak out. Another thing that could not be possible was that all of those things passed through my head in what? 30 seconds. As if my day could not get stranger, Chiron threw something at me, I caught the object in my hand, I looked at it with open eyes, It was a celestial bronze sword.
Even during this time of day, It gave off a faint glow. The design was definitely Greek because it had a leaf-like design with the engraving on the side. Ανακλυσμός, Riptide. Before I knew it the Furie lunged at me. You are probably thinking " I bet he was as brave as all the other heroes.", but the truth is I was scared. I mean 'go hide under a rock' scared. There was only one way to get out of that mess, so I swung the sword. It felt so natural. The sword went straight threw her. She disintegrated on the spot, leaving nothing but sand. The old centaur and the saytr walked towards me but i stayed still. I just could not move. I noticed that the saytr was talking with Chiron as if they knew each other from long ago. As they got closer to me they stopped talking.
"Percy, There is too much to explain, but we don't have enough time." Chiron said. His wise eyes were so serious they were a little scary. "We have to start with the basics, I guess." He continued. I could only nod in response.
"Let's start with the basics. You know who I am right?"
"Umm, no?" I couldn't say anything else, but I think he understood.
"I am the same Chiron from the legends. The trainer of countless heroes and this here is Grover, the saytr." He motioned for Grover to step forward.
"Nice to meet you" He said with a sligh bow.
"Perceus, but call me Percy." I said for the first time sense the attack.
"Look, Perceus. The reason that furie attacked you is because you have god's blood inside you." Chiron said. I knew he would not lie to me, but me? I couldn't be the son of a god.
"You have to be mistaken. I can't be the son of a god." I responded.
"But, you are. The question is which one. That is where Grover comes in. He will go with you to talk to your mother. I have to get back to the rest of the group. Keep the sword it turns into a quill."
Once again the only thing I could say was, "What?"
"I am sorry that I can't explain well. Ask Grover any questions that you have. I will see you soon, Perceus." Chiron said, as he went back to the path.
On the way to my mother's house, Grover tried to explain everything he could. I found out Grover was a very good friend and that he was very reliable. When we arrived at my mother's house I was claimed by Poseidon as soon as my mother greeted us. I did not need that much training since I was trained from birth to be a warrior.
I sighed, since then I had been Perceus, Prince of Sparta and Demigod son of Poseidon. As I looked over to the horizon I could see the coastline of Athens, it was still far away but I could see the circling clouds in the far distance, clouds that heralded the dominion of Olympus.
I closed my eyes and felt the force of the sea at the bottom of the ship; I then called to the wind and the ocean, to give us speed. On my command the forces of the ocean propelled us forward to the distant coastline. It won't be long before we make it to Athens now.
