II.Nico
Okay guys! This is the new chapter! I hope to publish at least 3 chapters a week, so. I'm really busy with school right now, with all the preparations for all the end of the year exams. I have an exam that's 264 questions, one that's 250, one that's 184, and one that's 122. Ugh! So I'm going to stop complaining right now and let you read this chapter.
Nico was not having an ordinary, boring day at school. Instead, he was at some camp away from Manhattan, all the way in Long Island Sound. First, he got terrified at some wierd vampire lady, then he was kidnapped (not really) by two kids that claimed that they were demigods and brought all the way to this camp, and finally, he had to go through this all with his crush, Chloe. Boy, was she beautiful. "Okay! Stop thinking about her!" he mentally scolded. He glanced at Chloe. She was staring at the beach, no doubt thinking. Her eyes always turned stormy grey whenever she was deep in thought.
"Chloe!" he said gently.
"Yeah?" she said, turning torward him.
"Who do you think your parent is?" he asked.
"I honestly don't know. I'm thinking maybe either Aphrodite or Athena. After all, I fit the characteristics of both. Smart, loves to read books? That's my Athena side. Pretty, eye-changing colors,and other girls staring at me enviously?" she glanced at some girl that had been staring at her earlier. No doubt an Aphrodite girl. "That's my Aphrodite side. Other than that, I have no clue who my parent might be. I can't wait to find out. What about you?"
"I'm thinking something like a son of Poseidon or Hermes. You know how much I love pranking people, and Percy said I look similar to him." Chloe's eyes swept over his dark, messy hair and aqua green eyes. When the conch horn sounded, Chloe excitedly ran toward the ampitheater.
When it began, Chiron began talking about quests to destroy Tartarus and such. Meanwhile, Nico and Chloe were both praying that they would get claimed. At the end of camp-fire, however nothing had happened. When the two newcomers got up, something incredible happened. Nico was suddenly surrounded in flames, and around him, a glowing green trident, a cadaceus, and a hammer. Meanwhile, Chloe suddenly was wearing a dress that radiated pink, and around her were an owl, an eagle with lightning surrounding it, and a green torch.
"What the heck!" Nico and Chloe both shouted, trying to get rid of the magical aura surrounding them. Chiron looked stunned, saying that this hadn't happened in a hundred years, and they had more power than any other demigod that had ever existed. However, Nico and Chloe were too busy trying to get rid of the aura, that they didn't hear anything. Chiron quickly called a council meeting with the two demigods.
In the rec room, Annabeth looked shocked. "How is this possible?"
Chloe and Nico had no clue what was going on until Chiron told them that they were just claimed. He told Chloe that she was a daughter of Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, and Hecate. Nico was a son of Poseidon, Hephaestus, and Hermes. At that moment, Rachel Elizabeth Dare came in. Her mouth was swirling with green smoke, and her eyes glowed bright green. She started sprouting a prophecy.
The dark god stirs and begins to awaken,
For two demigods he has taken.
By nine demigods, he shall begin to tumble,
And the reign of the pit shall crumble.
An ancient curse broken, a lost one found,
And the mystery of the city shall be unbound.
Immediatly, Annabeth and Chloe started trying to figure the prophecy out.
"Well, we obviously need nine demigods. I suggest Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Chloe, and Nico." Chiron said.
Percy, Annabeth, Piper, and Jason all shook their heads. Leo, however started jumping up and down. "An ancient curse broken. Guys! Maybe we can find Calypso!" Leo said excitedly.
"Another quest? Man, I'm just saying, I've had enough quests for now." Percy said.
However, the five agreed and it was settled. "We'll talk about it tomorrow." Chiron suggested. "We've got a long day , Nico, stay with me for a few more minutes." And with that, the council was dismissed.
When everyone was gone, Chiron told them that a new cabin will be built for children of multi parents. Meanwhile, they would be living in the guest bedroom of the Big suggested that the cabin be Cabin Infinity, since there is no specific god for the cabin. Then the two walked off toward the room.
Okay! Sorry about the prophecy. I know, I'm not good at poetry (hangs head miserably). I will try to update as soon as possible. Meanwhile, you guys can review on these chapters.
