Hey guys hope you are enjoying the story. I'll make more derails to annoy you guys! (Great, now I'm starting to be as evil as Rick) One thing I'm really confused by it that the last time I checked my views were at 788 then after I posted the chapter before the one it jumped to 876 in one day? That is the weirdest and coolest thing ever! Please leave some feedback on who should have more POVs and something that is horribly wrong with my story if there is something. And I'm trying to prove that done time self inserts can be good ideas...And I can't name the chapter because come on it could have been the real truth I would have given them, that would be boring. OH and I'm not adding myself into the story I just have a nickname I made up and I can't really use it anywhere else so I just named to character that. Ok now I'll stop boring you. (I checked the views again, 1,257...O.O)
Baxie's POV
Ok so where were we, oh right, lava and geysers. The first thing that happened was an earthquake, then I looked up, Percy looked down, and we were both right.
"I can't use steam against lava and even if I could, it's not that kind of water I can control." Percy said.
"You know you're not the only one with powers." I said.
"Well Annabeth said some of your powers could be dormant, so I think it's going to get very hot soon."
My eyes opened wide.
"Well you can at least tell me what you're thinking before we're torched forever in lava." He said.
"Heat! You're a genius! Fantastic!" I said.
"Oh now you tell me I'm a genius! What am I a genius for again?"
"Nothing. I needed to get your attention!" I said.
He looked up at me and must have thought I was flying.
"What are you-" he started to say I pulled him up onto the platform, "doing?"
"Run." I said while pulling him toward the castle off into the distance.
"What are we running on?" He asked.
"Light! Well sunshine, the clouds are almost covering it, but while you guys were sleeping after the Medusa commotion, I tried to use my powers. I found out I could bend moonlight and when I made the tree fall and Grover with it. I did the same in the morning to you but I used sunlight. I guess Apollo uses it as a healing bed." I explained as we stopped for a second.
"There is sunlight here? Oh, so is this how we are going to see Hades?" He asked.
"I hope so." I said as reached down to touch the lava, then Percy pulled me away.
"What are you doing! Don't touch that!"
I did anyway just to see if it would burn, it didn't. Percy refused to touch it since there was heat over it. Maybe I'm was not just fire resistant.
We got to the castle barely getting there before the sun was completely covered.
The palace was the creepiest thing I've ever seen, skulls and what looked like blood were arranged in a way that was well...creepy, and that was just the outside. I wasn't sure how to get in since there was no door. Luckily we appeared in. Unluckily Hades was directly in front of us looking...I have no idea how to express his expression.
I was standing there not knowing what to say, or do, then Percy got the brilliant idea of making conversation.
"What just happened?" Percy said.
"She has passed my test." Hades replied.
"Test? You mean you did this on purpose? There was a huge possibility that we would have suffered for eternity! What if I failed!" I said, then I realized I shouldn't have yelled.
The next second Annabeth appeared with a worried look. She looked relieved when she saw us. The room was quiet for a long time, then the woman with her spoke up.
"I see you've passed the test." She said.
"Why did I need to pass a test?" I asked just to get it over.
"No need to explain that, there is a thief here, and he has stolen Zeus's Master Bolt, and my symbol of power, my Helm of Darkness. Perseus Jackson, you dare come to my domain to ask of me a favor." Hades said.
"To be able to steal two very powerful objects would have to be the work of a son of Hermes, after all he is the god of thieves. Plus I've been with Percy the whole time he couldn't get past stealing anything with me watching him." I said.
Everyone seemed to be nervous about this except Hades, who was either annoyed or really mad or both. Then Hades said he didn't buy it and said the master bolt was in Percy's backpack and he would be exposed as a thief.
When Percy opened it the bolt was there. I'm shocked it hadn't shocked him, no pun intended, if that was a pun. Of course he did get that backpack...from...uh oh. Then the best part Grover appears out of nowhere and Hades said he would trade his Percy's mother for the Master Bolt and his Helm of Darkness or he will kill her.
I'm standing here thinking of different escape routes then Hades says out of nowhere: "Bring out the pearls."
After Percy, Annabeth, and Grover show him the pearls he says it's a shame there is only 3.
"Just leave us here, Percy. Save your mother." I said. "Maybe I can-"
"No." Hades said just to make things worse.
Percy chose to go as a group sort of. They broke the pearls and left me there, almost getting killed by an army if skeletons because of that though. I was standing there in the middle of the army and carelessly Hades put me back on the surface with everyone else.
"He almost killed us, then he let me go, good plan. So why didn't we use the pearls earlier and what happened?" I said.
"We couldn't leave you then. I just appeared in the castle." Grover said.
"I met Persephone and she brought me to the castle after telling me something about a test." Annabeth said, then she looked like she remembered something. "Hey how do you have an accent?"
"No time to explain we should see why everything is on FIRE!" I said.
"We have a second to spare." Percy said.
"Well I should tell you I have multiple accents. I just prefer to use this one. I have them because in my free time at the foster home I would ask everyone how to mimic their accents, since no one there had an American accent I don't have one. This accent grew on me, sounds like an accent a viking would use. That is also how I learned Spanish, and yes at such a young age." I explained as we started walking.
"Seriously I thought you said you hated it there. Plus doesn't that mean your making fun of people with accents?" Grover said.
"That's when everyone got adopted except me, I'm glad I didn't. And Grover, I have an accent, am I making fun of myself?"
OK I'm sorry for the delay guys, I have no excuse this time, well I do but don't want to sound more annoying than I already am.
