No, this is not another chapter. Sorry of you thought it was. Good news though, the Demigod Guardian is fully functional and is in my stories list as of now. Ok, so maybe this is a little late, but I've been debating whether or not I should post this. This is not part of the story, so if you don't want to read it, it is not relevant. I just wanted to mention some things I forgot to put in the story; 'Bloopers', if you will.
First, the Vastera Nerada quote, 'count the shadows' was not just put there because it was Doctor Who. I needed it because it refers to when Pitch is just about to take Jaime.
'Nobody noticed it when, at noon, Jamie's shadow was darker than ever. And nobody noticed it when Jamie was the only one with a shadow.'
See, the sun is at its highest at noon so it is directly above you, meaning you do not have a shadow at this time of day. Jaime was the only one with a shadow, at noon. I was trying to show that Pitch had something to do with it and that he was warning the Guardians by saying, 'Count the shadows' meaning, be more aware of shadows. But, Jaime never heard those words come out of Pitch's mouth, so he didn't know to look.
Another detail that I am really mad I didn't put in; The lake Percy used to drown Pitch's layer was Jack's lake; the one he drowned in and became Jack Frost in a long time ago. You might have already guessed that, I just wanted to make sure.
Now for the back ground of the story. When I started writing the first chapter, the plot was completely different than how it turned out. I was going to have it be about Aundraia and how Jack makes her believe. The Percy Jackson characters weren't going to be in this. But, as you can see, that wouldn't make for a very good plot for a story. Well, I didn't get past the first chapter because it wasn't too well thought out. It would have ended up being a short one or two shot and I have enough of those.
So, my brain automatically did a Percy Jackson crossover with it and here you are. I still wanted Aundraia in it so needless to say; I made Aundraia believe at the end, which is what I originally wanted. I have had that scene planned out since the beginning. Jack was going to follow her and Billie home and go on from there. But, like I said, that was too short. I really like how it turned out though.
Another blooper. Jack almost became a son of Poseidon. I mean he would have different powers as Percy but still have water powers. I thought it would be cool to have Percy and Jack become brothers. But, in the end, I decided against it because Jack is more like the Hermes kids. I mean, he holds the record on the Naughty List. If that doesn't yell out Hermes, than what does?
I think this was my longest rant ever. Oh well.
One more thing before I leave, I leave, I have a new oneshot that I updated a while back if any of you want to read it. It is for RotG but pre move, so it is about Human Jack. But I think it is good, despite its short length.
The Demigod Guardian- I have a lot more written down on paper. I haven't abandoned it, I swear on the River Styx! I just had a huge plot hole that I needed to fill up but I couldn't go on until I figured that out. But I did, so were all good. When I get the chance, I will type it and give you something else to tear through. I only posted this because I wrote it a while back; I just needed to add in some things. Maybe after Thanksgiving or during Christmas I will update. You have my word.
Ok, NOW I'm done. Hope you enjoyed this little 'blooper' part. Sorry for its leingth, but like I said, it's not really a chapter, just bloopers :P
Happy Thanksgiving, from Daughterofthehunt.
