Hey, guys! Sorry for the slow update, tests are coming up again. Please review, I really appreciate it. DISCLAIMER:I DON'T OWN ANYTHING This is the fifth chapter:

Chapter Five:The Fire Kingdom(Leo's POV)

The first thing I knew was I was sleeping then suddenly I was running to the central woods to escape from those Solar Guards who kept pestering and irratating me. After miles and miles of running from the Solar Kingdom Percy finally slowed down for us to take a rest and to figure out our next destination. As always Percy consulted Jason for stuff related to the three races and other boring educational stuff.

"Jason do you know a place where weapons are more than just tools?" Percy asked

Jason thought for a minute while muttering something about tools and weapons like a mantra. Then suddenly Jason just stand and whispered something to Percy and he told us to gather together.

"What's the plan, Prince?" Nico asked

"Jason said our next destination is the Fire Kingdom, the land ruled by King Hephaestus."

There where some whispers about their opinion to the King of fire. For me I think he is awesome, he is known for inventing the most beneficial and good quality weapons throughout the whole country. One day when I was 13 I tried visited King Hephaestus by sneaking to an event. I waited until the event was over than I followed him to his room where he started to make new weapons for the Fire Kingdom. I watched him for hours until he finished the sword. It was really cool so I started to look at him as an inspiration and that started my goal in life, to surpass him and be the best inventor throughout the whole Olympus. Many people thought that I was insane, but the group never laugh at me. They believed me and will support me, I know this because from the start we are different people, but that what makes us a great team. They think that my talent with tools are really fascinating most of the topics they talked about was my new inventions. I felt really close to them since they befriended me when I got here, and it seems the first time to experience how to love and be loved by others. So I will try my best to maintain our friendship whatever it takes. Thus me working really hard for my inventions to work despite judgements. Starting that day my friends are the only family I had. We were quiet while approaching the Fire Kingdom maybe from exhaustion. The Fire Kingdom is located just beside the Solar Kingdom so, it's not really a long trip. After a while it is already night as we came to the Fire Kingdom, and there are a lot of people walking at the kingdom. Jason asked Percy:

"So, what now?"

"We need to get Hephaestus' seal and approval." he said while gesturing at the necklace.

"Uhm, how?" I asked

"We just need to see him, Leo. In private."

"Percy there is an event going on, how do you expect us to do that?"

"We will sneak in at his palace and talk to him and-"

"Percy, we should hide right now." Frank said nervously

All of us immediately hide at a bush and there we saw a lot of Fire Kingdom guards with swords, daggers or guns, guarding the perimeter of the location of the event.

"Okay, tell me how are is our plan gonna work in this circumstances?" I stiffened

"We can do this, we just need to be alert at all times." Percy reassured

"So, let's go?" Nico asked

I really don't know anything about that guy, the only thing I knew is his name, age and basically his regular skin tone is pale. For me he is really weird, but Percy trusts Nico the most and I don't know why. If Percy finds Nico reliable then I find him reliable too.

Percy just nodded his head and we split in different directions, I know what your saying. That we are so stupid in doing that but it's our thing, we like taking in new challenges so in times that when we need to escape or to move in a certain point we always split up. This tradition started when we are 15 up until now we still follow the group's tradition. I ran like it's the most simplest thing to do and as I ran I saw a man ordering food for his date and it seems that he left his coat unattended so I kind snatch it and I wear the coat for me to not be recognize. After a while I reached our location and I found the rest of the group hiding at the shadows so I crept closer and closer and-

"BOO!"

Frank jumped and is eventually caught by Percy. As Frank faced me, well he looked angry a bit but it seems that the mission is more important than breaking the group.

"Sorry, dude." I said in advance

"Okay." He faced Percy,"So how do we get in?"

Percy grinned. "Jason should be-"

Percy was cut out by Jason who is apparantly holding something. I was actually surprised because I thought Jason was here.

"Special Delivery." Jason said

Jason gave us 5 tuxes each, instead of a suit jacket we all got black vest with a black tie.

"What's with the tux, Jason?" I asked

"We'll sneak in as butlers and servants at the party, sorry but that's what we got."

I just nodded and wore the tux and took a look at the mirror. I suddenly felt a certain kind of saddness dwell within me, I was always the bad guy or the dumpee. Eventhough I expressed my feelings, in the end it always doesn't matter because I have nothing. No money, power, honor, nothing. I'm just a sore and ugly loser and I can't change that. I'll just be forgotten, forever.

"You look grand, champ." I turned around and I saw Jason standing there and looking at me.

"You too."

"Well don't be insecure about yourself, I was just standing here while you look like a dead man."

"Easy to say, I don't have your looks."

Jason shifted uncomfortably, it's true what I said. Jason and Percy are considered the heartthrobs of CHB. In the two's presence there are always love-strucked girls and fainted ladies. They are always like talking about Percy's charms or Jason's leader trait. Some people also liked Nico because he's cool because he's the bad boy type.

"You know someone will like you despite your looks."

"Really I don't believe you."

"Your special, Leo. You have the fun, energizing and crazy personality out of all the people. All of us like you because we think you are special in your own way, and that makes the Leo we know right now."

I was actually taken a back of what he said, I never knew that's the way the group would describe me. So I flashed my signature grin at Jason.

"Let's start the show."

We settled ourselves to our positions and wait for our signal. For the opening remarks of the party, King Hepheastus gave a speech for the development of the Fire Kingdom and then the food is served. I sighed heavily, it's time. As I grab a tray with some champagne and put the ear communication device that I invented at my ear then moved out. I must say there are a lot of guests coming from the diffrent kingdoms. I saw King Zeus with Dutchess Hestia, the dutchess of the Sky Kingdom. Well I served champagne to the other guests then suddenly I heard Percy's voice,

"Okay, time to find the king, Leo."

I started to loiter around his palace and it was beautiful with the paintings hanging at the walls. As I was still giving some champagne I saw a beautiful girl, she has brown hair and gorgeous eyes. She looked tough and really confident, just my type. I was about to get near her but she is called by King Hephaestus who is apparantly at the second floor at his palace. She walked elegantly to the balcony, and began to speak:

"Hello everyone, apparantly King Ares cannot come to King Hephaestus' Birthday Party so I'm his proxy, I'm Reyna the Commander of the army of the Love and War Kingdom."

The second she finished talking there were a lot of whisper about Reyna as a commander, she must be great if King Ares trusts her. As I was still admiring Reyna I saw Percy slowly approaching the King of Fire, he found me and signaled me to come and help him. I hurried off and as I was running I bumped at a guest:

"Sorry sir, I wasn't careful"

I looked up at the guest and saw my worst nightmare, it can't be him. He's my owner but I left him at the Sky Kingdom when Percy found me. What is he doing here? He smirked at me and he screamed:

"Help! This guy is a criminal and he's trying to steal something?!"

Percy immediately mouth run and I immediately run outside the palace with a mob of angry soldiers after me. Great, just great I thought. After a while I was join by the others, and they started to ask me questions, but my only answer was:

"Later, okay but first run."

I'll admit the soldiers here are fast because they caught up to us and they captured Frank. The soldiers were carrying swords and flamethrowers. Eventually they surrounded us and starting beating us, I started to get worried, it was my fault. If I didn't bumped my owner we shouldn't be in this situation. I hated how they judged my friends, always the problem eventhough we didn't do anything wrong. My blood started to boil when they carried Nico and they pushed him at the floor, the guards aimed the flamethrower at him. I was so angry I knocked one guard unconcious and go at Nico's aid, I pushed him aside and one of the guards smirked at me and fired the flamthrower at me and all I saw was orange and then the guards again. They looked surprised. The guard tryed to fired it at Percy but I won't let them do that, first I was the one being protected but know I will be the one protecting them. Tears stared to formed at my eyes, they never left my side, ever. When I was sad they were always there. I screamed my heart out and suddenly fire came out of my body and everyone was startled and I started attacking the guards one by one. I was startled too but I feel like I'm used when I'm on fire. I was about to win but I can't beat all the guards and more to come judging from the other mob of soldiers coming. Suddenly I became slower and weaker by the second, maybe I can't stand this for a period of time, but soon I will use this for good. At the end I collapse at the floor and all I know is a guy with big hands and an orange cape.

That's a wrap for this chapter. Please remember to review so I'll know what's on your mind. Thanks!
