Chapter 3
Percy awoke several times, from his haunting dreams, of a huge man on an huge black throne, seated above fire, he would glance at Percy then shake his head an disgust and slap him away to another dream; where a huge, but smaller man then the last, was sitting on a golden throne, surrounded by darkness. He would just stare at Percy for what seemed to be centuries. Then he would laugh, softly at first, and then steadily higher until it was a booming laugh. He would then say "I control you." Then laugh some more, until the darkness engulfed him, and he was engulfed huge pit.
Every time he woke up, there was a multitude of kids, screaming "Get the nectar, the ambrosia, the band-aid, the-"
Then he would fall back into his dreams, no, not dreams, nightmares. After the repeating dreams, he had another, but this time it was different. It was in a golden room, 12 thrones surrounded a giant marble table. The room was huge, high ceilings and awesome thrones. He could see a man in a suit at the head, a lady in a wedding gown almost; a fisherman who had a very comfortable looking seat, unlike the other two that looked like it was made of rock. A wheat lady on a grass throne, a gorgeous lady sitting on a love seat, a buff man, sitting on pigskins, a disfigured man, sitting on an advanced throne, spewing fire every now and then, a fat, bored looking man, playing with a vine. A lady sitting on a throne that looked like the moon, dressed in huntress clothes and a huge bow. A man sitting on a throne made of gold, smiling like the sun at noon, with a huge bow. A man in a jumpsuit, talking on the phone and arguing and lastly a lady with eyes of wisdom, brown curls and gray eyes, with a book on the table in front of her.
It was the man at the head speaking, his electric blue eyes swirling in rage "Hades why have you bore a child, have you no respect for the pact?"
The man, Hades, was in a throne that was boring, and at the end of the table. Hades snarled "You would dare speak about the pact when you have broken it already, and then when I killed her to keep us all alive, you send Apollo to heal her? And then you would have the audacity to tell me that I have broken it? That power machine is not my child, nor any of the rest of the gods."
Everyone paled, and the god dressed as a fisherman, stopped twerling his trident, came to attention once he said this "Then whose child is it, Brother?"
Hades took a deep breath, and Percy knew he would finally hear his father's name; he was rather excited to know.
Hades spoke in a forbidding tone "His father is-"
"Wake up, hey, Wake up!"
Percy opened his eyes and he saw white walls all around him and a girl, still in his face back up. She had blonde hair, a necklace with beads, owl earrings and jeans and an orange t-shirt, saying 'Camp Half-blood'. Percy was pretty mad. he had been mad a lot lately, but it was because of idiots like this blonde girl, who had the posture of a stuck up, impatient, brat..
"Well finally, I have been in control of your health ever since you got here, 3 days ago."
Percy didn't care what she had to say and ignored her. As he got up, he noticed he didn't have a shirt on, or his black sweatshirt.
Percy spoke darkly, already in a terrible mood. "Where are my possessions?"
She spoke arrogantly, shaking her head "No, until you answer my questions, you won't get anything."
Percy grew even angrier, and walked towards her, she brought out a knife the size of my forearm, and held it in position to try and kill Percy.
But Percy knew how fickle the world was, and she wouldn't do it. Percy kept striding towards her as she backed up, panic growing in her eyes, but she was banishing the emotion from coming to her face. Percy stopped by a table where his shirt and ripped up sweatshirt lay. He put them on without a thought and went towards the door, until he felt cool metal touching his neck and a cocky tongue burning his ears.
"I haven't introduced myself; I am Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena and head councilor of Athena, and a terrible enemy to have."
Percy twisted like a black mamba, and hit her wrist, she let go of her knife. Percy controlled himself to pick up the knife and do the world a favor, and kicked it behind him and said "Where is your head councilor or whatever you have, bring me to him."
She was shocked and was about to say something, her blonde curls whiplashing and her gray eyes darkening. Then a centaur shuffled in with grace, his horse half was of a white horse, an alpha, and his top half was of Mr. Brunner.
Percy grew angrier and more irritated, he was tired of these games, "What is going on, and you, shut your god damned mouth, I don't want to hear stupidity."
Annabeth opened her mouth, no doubt to defend her honor until Brunner stepped up to the dark child. "I am Chiron, trainer of heroes and demigods."
Mr. Brunner, Chiron, continued on as Percy spoke nothing.
"This is Camp Half-blood, where we teach you to survive. "
Percy's curiosity overcame him "Chiron, the one from the legends?"
"Yes, Percy, I am he."
Percy nodded. And another person stepped in "Annabeth, hurry up, we have archery next!"
The girl turned towards me, black locks and electric blue eyes, just like he had seen in his dreams. Thalia was about to speak when Percy ran towards the knife he had kicked and went to kill her, then a long sword intercepted the strike, it was a blonde teen, at 18 perhaps.
"Whoa, what's Thalia done already?!"
Thalia was confused, I didn't even talk to him yet, he just looked at me then tried to kill me!"
Percy spoke up "An eye for an eye, the ancient quote referencing to retribution and justice. You're father, Zeus tried to kill me and he killed my mother, he must pay!"
Luke's scared face grew dark, "That was Zeus who killed your mother, not Thalia, so leave her alone."
Chiron spoke up in a pacifying tone "Annabeth, Luke, Thalia, leave so our misguided friend may understand."
As Luke led them out, their shoes creaking the wooden floor, Percy's dark eyes had a hellish glow, he was no misguided puppy, but he knew he was being rash, acting on emotion, not thinking anything out, with a cool mind. Percy used a short mediation technique to calm down, and he eyes turned dark again.
He looked at Chiron, and he asked a very simple question, "What's going on?"
Chiron spoke "You child are the son of a god, and a mortal. Half god and half mortal, the myths that I have taught you are all true, and you have already killed the Chimera, who has only been killed once, by Bellerophon, who had lots of help, you didn't even have a weapon. It will be a joy to teach you."
Percy thought he understood but not fully, "Wait, then who is my father?"
"We don't know yet, but we suspect Hades because-"
"No," Percy interrupted "He said he was not my father in a dream with the Olympians."
Chiron was understandably confused, but hid it well. "Did they say who?"
"No that brat-, Annabeth, forcibly woke me before I could hear."
Chiron winced "She does not mean to be rude, only excited, please forgive her on my behalf."
Percy grunted "Sure, so then is my father a minor god?"
"No, you are much too powerful, and the traits don't fit. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Now, let me give you a tour of our camp, shall we?"
Percy walked with Chiron as they went on the porch of the farmhouse, where a man was playing cards.
Chiron spoke "This is the director, Mr. D, one of the great 12, son of Zeus."
Percy was about to grow angry again, but then thought of the warning in Chiron's tone and then realized he was a god, a major one. Mr. D, for Dionysus, hmmmmm, no first he must wait and train.
Percy bowed to him and Mr. D glanced at him with one eye. "Oh you're a smart one, great, another brat Athena thought up."
"No." Percy said calmly. "My mother is dead, she died in front of me a couple nights ago, so Athena cannot be my mother."
Mr. D, then focused his attention on him, "Oh, so you're the one who caused the firestorm, maybe it's Hephaestus."
Chiron spoke "No, he is much too powerful, I have seen none like him."
Mr. D had the attention span of a baby, and looked like an overgrown one at that, with his sandals and Hawaiian shirt. He ignored Chiron and went back to his card game.
"Yeah whatever, be gone, I'm about to win." Mr. D said in a bored tone.
Chiron sighed and they continued walking, they walked past they farmhouse which was huge, 4 stories maybe. It was painted a faded blue with windows everywhere. He saw a curtain move on the 4th floor, and felt eyes watching him.
"Chiron, what is on the 4th floor?"
Chiron hesitated for a long time, then feeling those black eyes studying him, said "That is the oracle, she is not to be interfered with, unless under the most dire circumstances."
"Sure."
Percy looked around, he saw volleyball nets, basketball hoops, cabins, and a long hall, with a fire in the middle, being stoked by a little girl, who smiled at him then disappeared.
"There is the woods, they are huge, stocked with monsters, don't go without a weapon." Chiron continued. "Capture the Flag is on Friday, today is Tuesday, train some and you'll play."
Percy didn't get 'Capture the Flag', but he would ask later. He had much more important matters to discus.
"When will you start training me?"
"When you are ready, and prepared to start."
"He is ready." A new voice came in
The little girl he had seen earlier stoking the fire came into the conversation.
Chiron bowed "Lady Hestia, an honor to speak with you."
Lady Hestia smiled "Yes Chiron, as always a pleasure, but I have come to teach the boy one thing and one thing only, it will take a day."
Percy frowned; the morning mist had emptied, as if forced away. "What will you teach me?"
She smiled "Calming yourself, and using your fire abilities more conservatively."
He grew apprehensive "What do you mean by that?"
"Tomorrow young one, you will understand all I will teach."
And with that she disappeared in a fiery column, no heat emanating from it.
Chiron looked wiped out, after tomorrow; you will have some lessons with me and Luke, after picking out a weapon for you."
Percy scowled "What do I do now?"
"I will bring you to the Hermes cabin where you shall sleep and relax. Then tomorrow, Lady Hestia will teach you, and then you will come eat, I will have someone bring you food to your cabin today, and you are too pale, you should be in bed as of now."
Percy understood what he was saying; he felt a little tired and wanted to think for a long time.
They soon arrived to the cabin dully painted gray, paint peeling and trip wires at the doorstep. Chiron knocked and talked to Luke quietly, and then Luke gave a forced smile and opened his arms widely.
"Welcome to our humble adobe, you will have a bunk as a god finally remembered their child and freed up some room.
Percy looked inside, all the campers bowing in respect to Chiron then went back to lying in their bunks.
"Is he undetermined?"
"Yes." Luke answered as everyone groaned, but maybe he'll be claimed soon, don't worry about it."
"Yeah easy for you to say, you claimed the same day you got here." Murmured a boy in the back, as several agreed with him.
Luke narrowed his eyes but did nothing; Percy sat on his bunk, fingering his new necklace, and thinking.
Luke sat down beside him, and said nicely "Don't listen to them; they're just disappointed they haven't been claimed yet."
Percy shrugged "I've never cared what others thought of me and I won't start now."
Luke gave an approving nod and they sat in silence. Percy frowned then asked a question "Chiron said you would train me in two days, along with him."
Luke's eyes widened but he recovered quickly, and looked at him with an appraising eye. "Wow, Chiron must see a lot in you to personally train you, he did it with my and Thalia only since I've been here, I'll probably give you sword lessons while he'll do ancient Greek and archery."
Percy nodded, wanting to show his competence and train for the one goal he had. To kill Zeus and bring back his mom, he had pushed back the thought of his mom all day but now it was too much. A tear escaped its binds and fell to his cheek, where he wiped it discreetly, not for anyone else, but for himself. For he was no weakling and would show them why he wasn't. Yes, he would show them all.
