Hey guys! Sorry for the late update! I went away for a bit and had a bit of writers block. So here is a Grover chapter, hope you like it! I had some lack of idea problems, so I went to check out some Grover fics, there are hardly any! Only 6 pages! For one of the biggest characters in the PJO series he doesn't have many fics about him!
Disclaimer: I am not Rick Riorden. If I was I would not be on fanfiction, I would be working on the Mark of Athena.
Grover Underwood
Grover? Who's that?
'Oh just that stupid satyr that should've protected the demigod that turned into a tree.'
'Ya, Percy Jacksons sidekick that plays his reed pipes in dangerous situations'
Real herioc
That was how people used to think of me, that was how I used to think of myself.
I was no hero.
I was just a third wheel to Percy and Annabeth.
Our relationship was kind of like Leo's with Jason and Piper. I love Percy and Annabeth, they're my best friends! It's just that I could never be as good as them.
Not as powerful as Percy.
Not as smart as Annabeth.
I was never good enough.
Things changed after Pan spoke to me. I felt like I had a purpose. I felt like I was special. Sadly the Council of Cloven Elders disagreed.
To them I was a liar
I was a failure
I was a disgrace to the name of Pan
I had one week.
At least I still had Juniper, the most beautiful tree I have ever seen.
Then things managed to get worse. I had to go into the labyrinth, which was apparantly where Pan was.
Why would he like it down there, no sunlight, no coffee, no enchiladas!
And when I finally found him, he died.
The great god Pan, the idol and inspiration of all satyrs, was dead.
And he had chosen me to carry on in his place. To protect the wild. To tell the world that he had faded.
I felt important.
I felt strong.
I felt like a hero.
The council refused to believe me, but that was fine, I didn't care about them anymore. All I cared about was protecting the wild, fulfilling Pan's last request. I felt like I was drifting apart from Percy and Annabeth though, and that was really depressing, because we all had grown up now, and we had different responsiilties. Percy had a world to save, Annabeth had battles to strategize. I had to lead the satyrs and nymphs. Still we somehow managed to stay together through it all
Then Percy saved Olympus, and he and Annabeth got together. I was happy for them.
But I once again became a third wheel.
Things were different, and we weren't as close as before. Percy and Annabeth were always together now that they were dating, and I was always with Juniper, or fulfilling my duties over the wild.
I found myself missing the way things used to be.
When it was just the three of us.
Us against the world.
Hope you liked! May not be my best, but hopefully it wasn't too bad.
So Im reading the demigod diaries right now and I definitly recommend it! It's got a whole story on LEO! Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford, it's hilarious. Its also got a Luke/Thalia one and Percy/Annabeth one. :) Really good!
