Chapter Three: Journey to the Kingdom for the Suns (Jason's POV)
I was wondering what Chiron said to Percy, but one thing I'm sure of is it really meant a lot to Percy like the thing Chiron said will be the answer to his problems or something. As his friend I'm starting to worry about him because he didn't slept for a freaking day. It took us 2 days to reach the Solar Kingdom because the distance of the Central Forest and the Solar Kingdom is quite far and we kinda got lost for a day, but Percy said we'll be at the kingdom as the rises and we have to go to sleep. I was still worried for him so I took the first shift, he was about to argue but I didn't took no for an answer so he just slept at the second he lay down. Currently is 12 a.m and my shift is until 1. So I just watched and observed my surroundings after a while I decided to take a walk to stretch my muscles. The forest at night was a bit mysterious because there is fog everywhere and I can't almost see anything while I'm walking so I tend to trip a lot while on my walk. As I walk I saw a figure near a certain tree I'm not sure if it's a human or a wild animal so I hide at a different tree and I slowly back away from the figure so I can warn the others about it but suddenly as I back away I tripped to which it seems to be a very large root of a big tree and I made a noise and I heard a gasp, not just an ordinary gasp it's a gasp of a girl. The figure started running away I said:
"Wait?!"
I ran as fast as I can, I got to admit that the girl was fast but I'm still faster than her, but the problem is she tripped and she can't get up. I started to approach her and I was right it was a girl, she was covering her face like a child who doesn't want to see the monster hiding at their closet when they're sleeping.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The girl faced me. Well the first thing that I noticed is she is really beautiful and she has choppy brown hair, wait a minute I'm not sure but her eyes change color. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and she is blushing for a reason then laughing quietly.
"You could help me you know, that is if your done staring at me" she said with a smile.
I started to blush fiercly,"I'm sorry are you fine?"
"I can't move my right foot."
I touched her injured foot and she winced a little but she smiled at me and she was right, she has a sprain so I tried to massage her,"This might take a while so... What's your name?" I asked.
She held out her hand,"Piper. Piper Mclean." Again with those charming eyes
I took her hand and said,"Jason. Jason Grace." She smiled at me.
"So who is Jason Grace?" she asked curiously.
I smiled at her and we just talked for hours and, did I mentioned that she's pretty. At our talk she mentioned that she is also trained for combat in case that she is attacked or something and she unsheathed her dagger and I immediately noticed her dagger.
"Katoptris" I said
"Yes, the looking glass." she started looking at the sky and she was surprised,"O my gods! I should be home by now."
I stared at the sky and I realize the sun is slowly rising up and...Di immortales! I didn't woke up Leo for the second shift, that means I didn't sleep for six hours?!
"Uh Piper I need to go to."
"Me too Jason, well see you next time." She smiled at me
Piper ran really fast and I ran to the opposite direction and waiting for me is a really worried Percy, he is so worried the first thing that greeted me is a question and a question and...well you know what I mean.
"Jason where were you last night?! Are you okay? Did someone found us? Is-
"Perce chill I just met someone while I'm on a walk"
Leo smiled and said,"Oh, Jason has a crush."
"Who is it?" Frank asked
"Is she pretty?" Nico asked
I blushed lightly,"Uh, yeah. Her name is Piper. Piper Mclean"
"Piper Mclean, sounds familiar but I can't point my finger on it" Percy retorted
"Well what now Perce?"
"Let's go and look for this guy that Chiron's talking about."
We walk for like 10 minutes and we reached our destination and well the Solar Kingdom is not really what I expect it to be. The sun shines brightly at the kingdom and that what makes it look good. It has big houses which is either color yellow, orange or gold. Leo who is either really ADHD or insane even tried to still some bricks from the construction site.
"Leo, that is not gold it's just a brick painted gold." Frank said while pulling Leo out of the construction site.
Leo finally got to his senses and we started looking for this guy that Chiron said. After hours of searching we still didn't find the guy so we keep looking for him. We look for him until it was already lunch, we were all tired from finding the guy, running from guards, steal food to go, running from guards and angry shopowners. We finally got away from those guards and ended up in an old house made of wood, we wre catching our breaths than out of nowhere Nico asked:
"Is it just me or did I hear someone playing the guitar"
We slowly looked behind our backs and we saw a blond guy in a black coat playing guitar to kids who roam at the streets, the kids seem happy because the blond guy was gooda nd he's started singing and he definetly has talent. The five of us were just frozen until he ended his song and the kids started to ran towards the street. He noticed us and he faced us and the first thing that I realize is his gold eyes it's warm like the sun.
"I heard you were looking for a guy who knows Chiron, I know him" he said
"You know the guy or Chiron." Frank asked nervously because he really is not a people person ever since...never mind.
"Chill, I know Chiron and I won't hurt you, Frank." he said
Frank stumbled back,"How did you know my name?"
He just smiled warmly at Frank,"Why won't we talk inside.",he gestured at the wooden house.
Finally Percy bite,"Who are you?" he asked.
He just faced all of us while smiling warmly and said:
"Sorry, I forgot to introduced myself I'm Apollo the King of the Solar Kingdom."
