Well, I am surprised this got as many views as it did.

And, for some, 48 is not a lot.

But to me, it is.

So, here is chapter 2.

Percy's POV:

Okay, so, like wow.

It has been about a week since I took the mic and song to Annabeth.

And let me just say a few things.

The first one is how well the camp received an open mic night. After I sang, people were asking Chiron if they could go next. Unfortunately, it was pretty late, so they could not do it that night. But, Chiron promised we could do an open mic night next Friday, to which people were very excited.

All week along, when campers were not climbing the lava wall, sparring in the arena, or out canoeing on the lake, all you hard was,

"What song should I sing?"

or

"Do you want to do a duet?"

and my personal favorite,

"Do you think Percy might give us some pointers?"

I was surprised that some one wanted my help with singing and music.

I thought I was pretty bad, but when the Stoll twins approached me with a video camera in their hands, they quickly snuffed out that self-doubt by showing me my performance they just so happened to record.

I do not want to sound conceited or anything, but I sounded pretty amazing.

Another thing that changed was, after Friday night was such a huge success, the Apollo campers teamed up with the Hephaestus campers, and with Chiron's permission, transformed the amphitheater into an awesome stage. It had it all, lights, instruments, sound effects machines, and even a handy little device that plays the music for whatever song you picked. But, it is only for songs that have been published. If you wrote a song, then you have to supply your own music.

Anyway, I was currently in the arena, viciously murdering practice dummies. The reason why I was taking all my anger out on the helpless sacks of straw was because I could not think of a song to sing. It did not help that the concert was that night.

I did not have the energy to right one, but I could not find the right song.

My thoughts were interrupted by the twins running in. They stopped in front of me, trying to catch their breath.

"Hey guys. Where's the fire?" I asked with a smirk.

Connor was the first to speak.

"Percy... Apollo... Concert... Live... Hephaestus TV." He panted out.

I looked to Travis to translate.

"What he meant was,

"Percy, Apollo just appeared and said the concert will be broadcasted live on Hephaestus TV."

I stood there for a few moments, trying to comprehend what I was just told.

The concert will be played live to the entire Greek pantheon.

Fantastic.

While I was having a panic attack, Travis said to his brother,

"Are you seriously out of breath, dude?"

To which Connor replied,

"Shut up man, I hate running!"

"Man, I hope someone somewhere makes a man out of you."

And, with that, once again, someone else had given me the perfect solution to my dilemma.

I AM JUST A LITTLE, LONELY LINE BREAK. PLEASE PAY NO ATTENTION TO ME, WHAT SO EVER. I'M ONLY HERE TO BREAK A LINE.

Will Solace walked up on stage and grabbed the microphone.

"Hey guys. Are you ready to get this thing going?"

A thunderous cheer was his answer.

"Alright then. So, he doesn't know this, but the man starting us off tonight is none other than the Savior of Olympus, Percy Jackson!"

The spot light found me sitting next to Annabeth and Grover. I was paralyzed. I knew I was going to sing tonight, I just did not expect to be the first one.

It took the combined effort of Annabeth and Grover pushing me to get up from my seat and walk up to the stage.

Once I got there, I took the mic from Will and gave him a my death stare.

I am pleased to say he scampered off pretty quick.

"Okay. Umm, hi guys." I stuttered out.

"Well, I am just going to start. Hit it."

And with that, the music began.

Let's get down to business
To defeat the Huns
Did they send me daughters
When I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man
out of you

People who recognized the song immediately began to smile.

Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man
out of you

People were really starting to get into the song now.

I'm never gonna catch
my breath
Say good-bye to those
who knew me
Boy, was I a fool in school
for cutting gym
This guy's got 'em
scared to death
Hope he doesn't see
right through me
Now I really wish that I
knew how to swim

I sang that last part with a whiney voice like the one the guy has in the movie.

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

This was my favorite part of the song. I was so into the music, I did not notice my dad, Aunt Hestia, Apollo, Hermes, and Aphrodite had flashed in.

Time is racing toward us
till the Huns arrive
Heed my every order
and you might survive
You're unsuited for
the rage of war
So pack up, go home
you're through
How could I make a man
out of you?

I swiped my hand through the air as I sang that last part.

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

By now, everybody was up and either swaying to the music or singing along with me.

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the Coursing river
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

As I sang the last note, I was given a deafening applause.

I looked over and saw the Olympians smiling and clapping at me. My dad had an unmistakable look of pride in his eyes.

I heard the sound of footsteps coming from my right, and when I looked over, I saw Will walking up to me.

When he reached me, I gave him the mic and went to back to my seat.

"Wow, nice job Percy. You sure are setting the bar high, aren't you?"

I blushed when he said that.

"Well, if anybody is going to make a man out of anybody, it's you Percy."

There was a roar of agreement from the crowd.

"Anyway, time for out next singer. Any volunteers?"

Well that is bull. Why was I forced to go when everybody else gets to volunteer?

Just then, a shadow appeared about three feet from Will and out popped Nico, Son of Hades.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it looks like we found out next singer, Nico DiAngelo!"

The look on Nico's face was to die for.

And that is the end of chapter 2.

Next chapter will have Nico singing.

I already know what Nico's going to sing, and who's going to sing in chapter 4 and what they will sing

But et me know who you guys want to sing and what they want to sing.

Stay tuned.

Sincerely,

PrimordialWolf
