Chapter 3: what Happened To The Camp?
"So uh how are we getting back to camp dad?" Percy asked rubbing the back of his head.
"Dakota" Posidon said smiling looking at Dakota who was making a bow and arrow with Artemis and Apollo. "Nico I'm sorry for agreeing to your death, it's not personal I just can't lose Dakota again."
"Yeah, my death is very impersonal. Whatever, it's cool Lord Posidon." There's no difference between life and death to me really. I thought.
"Daddy?" Dakota asked timidly.
"Yes, princess?" Posidon answered nothing but adoration in his voice.
"I'll do better this time I promise." She said looking very nervous. Pulling her into a tight hug he said something that sounded suspiciously like " it wasn't your fault."
Clearing her throat Annabeth said "Uhm Chiron may be getting worried, said we were just gonna check what was happening."
Letting go of Posidon, Dakota grabbed Annabeth and Percy's hands.
"Ever shadow traveled before?" Nodding suspicious of what she was planning we all vanished after 'good'. Escaped from her lips.
Shadow traveling, riding in the Gray Sisters' cab, those things are scary, nausiating. Whatever was going on was not like that. It felt like I was burning from the outside in where Annabeth held my hand.
When I felt like my body was burning and my heart was about to explode Dakota let go of Percy and Annabeth and I started to breath again. I realized that we were back at camp and everyone was staring at us.
"Percy, Annabeth, Nico!" Chiron calls as he makes his way through the crowd if campers who are still in what seems to be shock.
"Hello Chiron. Was the camp attacked recently or are your campers just that unruly." Dakota asked. Her face was contorted in disgust and shame.
"What did you just say about us princess?" Clarisse said pushing past campers to get in front of Dakota.
Sighing Dakota rolled her eyes and turned her back on Clarisse. Does she want to be hit in the back of her head. Trust me it hurts.
"Relax daughter of Ares. I just want to know how much work I have cut out for myself. My Lord Zeus wants camp to be untouchable by monsters, unseeable by mortals and the perfect home for demigods."
"And what makes you so special? I bet Annabeth could make the camp the quality of Olympus unlike you. Besides a child of Aphrodite which you obviously are would only decorate camp in pink and frills."
Remind me never to get on Dakota's bad side. In an instant she had high kicked Clarisse, broken her nose and roundhouse kicked her face faster than I can shadow travel to Percy who was 2 steps from me.
"My lady Aphrodite may have made me pretty but my Lord Ares gave me strength in battle. Something no matter how much of his genes you have cannot match mine. Do not assume my parentage, I'm the daughter of all gods and I happen to be their favorite. Past, Future and Present included." With that Dakota disappeared and we were left watching as Clarisse stormed up to Percy.
"What the Hades is she and what does she mean by she's the favorite of all gods Prissy!?" Clarisse yelled her fist ready to beat him to a pulp like Dakota just did to her.
"I can explain campers." Chiron said instantly gaining all of our attention, "Long ago, before the time of Hercules the earth needed a savior from wars being broken out left, right and centre. Because the gods cannot have direct contact in human wars they came to an agreement to create the strongest weapon that could ever be made. That weapon turned into a peacekeeper, only it took the form of a girl. The gods had each put something powerful into the peacekeeper, eventually the girl changed. She followed commands as always but she thought of each god as a parent, even though they tried the gods could not resist the hold the child had on them. Imagine infinite power combined with beauty, kindness and joy and innocence. The power to destroy everything on earth but also to form life and nothing but good and peace. So they accepted the child as not just the life and power that can save both Olympus and the earth but also their daughter. The daughter of the gods. That is what Dakota is. Power, beauty and peace the thing that keeps Olympus from falling in the darkest of times."
Wow. The most powerful weapon ever and Percy Annabeth and I have to take care of it. No pressure right. I am never going on another quest for as long as I live.
So that's the story of Dakota. She seems a little cold and mean but that will be explained eventually. Plus Dakota has a secret oooh mystery. This chapter in my opinion wasn't that great and I'm sorry it took so long. Reveiw! Let me know what you think of Dakota and this chapter.
Pooh bear loves you! (And she loves reviews :))
