So after spending an hour starting the legacy of Chilupa (ChironxLupa, you need to read my one shot), I decided to update this too. Enjoy, review and all that.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO, my genie betrayed me.
Annabeth's PoV
I stared in horror as Chiron was lugged towards the Apollo cabin, the Ares kids struggling to move him. I hated seeing him like this; he was the closest thing I had to a real father. Sure, my real father and I were getting closer, but Chiron was still more of a family than him. This war was really getting out of hand. The two camps were at war, gods were fighting, and now Chiron? How could this get any worse? The Fates decided to answer my question. An Iris Message appeared with a pale Clayton and Seth arguing rapidly.
"No, we have to get out of here!" Clayton shouted.
"Shut up, Annabeth is here!" Seth replied. "Ok, we have some trouble. Some weird shadow monsters are attacking us at the camp at the base of Mt. Everest, and we need to know if you know anything about them. We have no idea what they are and they don't seem to be hurt by anything!"
"Let me see them," I said worriedly. The image moved and I saw three shadows. They were humanoid in shape, but had tentacles that whipped all over the place. They were locked in combat with everyone else. "I have no idea what they are. But if their shadows, maybe light would help?"
"We'll try," Seth said uncertainly. The Iris Message cut off and I instantly felt alone.
Erica's PoV
"What do we have to do?" I asked Clayton while holding off one of the shadows.
"Annabeth said maybe light would help, since shadows are dark," Clayton replied. My eyes widened as I remembered the bogus prophecy from Demeter.
"Light is the source of darkness," I whispered. "No. We can't use light. Something must be causing the shadows, so if we can destroy the source…" I looked up the mountain and saw a man in a purple tux with four arms making shadow puppets.
"Up there!" We all looked up and saw the mysterious man, who just saluted us and continued with his shadow puppets. I got Alpha's attention.
"Alpha, we need to get that man. He's controlling the shadows. Can you do anything?" I asked. Alpha had a demented smirk on his face.
"Of course. I'm gonna enjoy this." He shot a blast of lightning at the man, striking him in the chest. Alpha moved his fingers and the man floated towards him, still encased in lightning. The shadows disappeared as the man was brought to his knees. Alpha stopped the lightning and pulled out an iron glove.
"What do we have here?" Alpha asked the man. The mysterious man spit in his face. Alpha sneered and slapped the man. "Answer me!"
"I am a Shadow Weaver; a follower of Erebus. We have been protecting his plans for months now while he works on taking over the world. I don't see what you've accomplished in capturing me. It's already too late," The Shadow Weaver said smirking.
"What do you me-" I was interrupted by a loud explosion. I looked up and saw a cloud of darkness expanding over Mt. Everest. The skies went black as almost all of the light disappeared.
"Run!" I shouted. We all got on our Pegasi and rode away. Once we were over the ocean I looked back and saw the entire peak falling into complete darkness.
Seth's PoV
I had been to many places before arriving at Camp Jupiter. Mt. Everest was one of those places. Clayton and I had run away from our step parents when we were vacationing in Europe and made halfway to the peak before deciding we needed more equipment than a #2 pencil and a plastic bag. Despite all of that, I had never felt more… alive. Now, seeing Mt. Everest, which was very dear to me, fall into despair… I'll admit I cried a little. But now I was determined. I don't care if it kills me, I WILL get revenge on Erebus. Make sure he gets worse than Tartarus. Maybe I could get Chaos to make a new cell for him; a new punishment. I sighed and lay my head down on Silver's neck. I had had enough drama for one day. We flew until we reached our little island in the Atlantic. I had grown quite fond of the place. We landed and set up a large tent filled with supplies. I got out a sleeping bag and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Dream World – Dream World
I looked around and noticed I was on a large plane. Immediatlely my fear of heights kicked in, but they went away after I saw who was on the plane.
"Lillian?" I gasped knowing she couldn't hear me. She was wearing an odd uniform, but I recognized it. She was a Lieutenant for Zeus. I have had enough of this torture, can nothing go my way today? Apparently not because she had her arm wrapped around the waist of another guy. A man with brown hair and strong build; a son of Hephaestus. I scowled and tried to lunge at him but I was frozen in place. I silently cursed every god on the opposing side. I saw Lillian and the other guy talking and laughing, but I couldn't hear anything except the last thing Lillian said.
"I love you too Leo."
Percy's PoV
We were all gathered around Seth who was kicking and struggling in his sleep when he sat up with a jolt.
"NO!" He yelled. Seth looked around and blushed. "I didn't realize I was that entertaining even in my sleep." We all shook our heads and got back to what we were doing. I was making miniature soldiers out of water and watching them fight each other until I made a water lion to attack them. It was amusing for a couple minutes, but then the lion ate them both and grew to about the size my head, so I stopped controlling the water so it wouldn't attack anyone else.
"I'm so bored," I complained. Everyone muttered their agreements. Suddenly something exploded.
"Sorry guys, my smoke bombs got too close to a jar of Greek fire!" Seth yelled. This was going to be a long night.
Finally done! What's going to happen next? Is Mt. Everest okay? What the heck is a Shadow Weaver? Why am I asking odd questions? I don't know! Review please. ~AssassinOfNeptune
