Chapter 1
I Found Out I Was the Last Ancient
So heres chapter 1! This is the first real chapter! Pretend the Greek letters I'm using is Ancient Greek. I don't know what the c looks like in Greek... I'm not sure why, but sometimes the Greek leters don't show up so ya... Anyway don't forget to R&R! And on with the story! Oh! I forgot to say thanks to percyjacksonfan and mia1dog! You started this chapter! Oh and when anybody reads this, whenever I save, the Greek letters I put disappears. Can somebody tell me how to keep the Greek letters up?!
percyjacksonfan: Thank you for the review!
mia1dog: Thank you for the review, too. I know the Ancients idea came out of nowhere, but what you mean by sart?
The watch morphed into a locket. Inscribed on there it said Percy Jackson in Ancient Greek.
" Guys! It's inscribed with my name in that! It must mean that this can be only activated by me, right Nico?" Percy asked. Nico said nothing. Everybody was staring at him in awe. " Nico!"
" Wha' wha'?! Oh, um, what did you say?" Nico asked. Percy sighed
" I said that this is inscribed with my name, so it must mean only I can make it work, right Nico?"
" In the Underworld library, it said-" Nico started, but Annabeth burst out laughing.
" You? In the library? I can't imagine that," Annabeth said finally after a few minutes of her laughter.
" Hey, um, Annabeth, I think you mean you can't imagine me in the library," Percy said immediatly.
" Yeah. You're actually right for once. Sorry Nico," Annbeth said.
" As I was saying, yes, you're right. Second time you're right in a one minute record for you! Gratz... I think? Nico said, smiling. Percy rolled his eyes. " Well, Percy, try actually opening the thing up. Then try putting it back into a watch. Wait, no, try joining your shield and the locket together. It might enhance your shield."
" Sure, why not... But I'm not doing it so it doesn't, like, get messed up of something?" Percy tried opening the locket up. Nothing happened. Then he got an idea. Percy said 'open' in Ancient Greek. The locket suddenly opened up. It was empty air. Suddenly, Percy had another idea. Whoa! Percy's on a roll of ideas. Percy said 'powers' in Ancient Greek and waves appeared, then disappeared after a few seconds. Percy said 'close' in Ancient Greek and it closed. " Wow... I'm good. So what you guys think the waves mean? I think it means water, so I have learned how to use water powers, which is pretty obviouse since I'm a son of Poseidon..." Percy said," And I'm on a roll with ideas!"
" Wow..." the others said all at once. Then Annabeth piped up " I never seen you with so many ideas, Seaweed Brain."
" Well, it's a first," Percy said before a searing pain erupted from his back. Percy immediatly blacked out.
" Percy!" Annabeth screamed before he fully blacked out. Wings started sprouting from his back. Everybody was goggled by the wings. After the wings finished sprouting from his back, Percy went back into the world of teh conscious.
" I feel like I have wings for some reason..." Percy suddenly said.
Chiron said," Well, you do have wings!"
" Oh my Gods!" Percy exclaimed. Then all of a sudden, a strange glow shined from the locket. Somehow, the locket was on Percy's neck. Percy took it up and examined it. The glow started to die down. Percy said 'powers' in Ancient Greek. The locket immediatly opened and first showed waves and it showed a new symbol. It showed three breeze symbols. It disappeared after a few seconds. " Guys... is it just me or do I have a feeling that was the power of air symbol? For the locket anyway." The others nodded in agreement. " Right now I have a crazy idea. Let's give it a spin!" Percy focused on a drachma in the the fountain Tyson built and willed it to move to his opened hand. The drachma flung into his hand. Percy stared at it. Then all of a sudden, his wings glowed he realized it didn't have any... feathers. Right after that thought, one of the of the wings gained one feather. Percy looked up and saw a few more campers near the door. Clarisse, Chris, Beckendorf, and Silena were there staring with gaping mouths wide in awe. He turned around and saw the same thing with Grover, Annabeth, Chiron, and Nico. " Oh my gods... I have crazy thought..." Percy said, breaking the people out of there trance.
" Spit it out, Prissy" Clarisse said.
" Well, after I willed the drachma and it flew to my hand, the wings I have right now grew a feather, so that means if I practice more of my air powers and get all those feathers on there, probably the wings would disappear and that probably would mean that I have mastered my air powers, right?" Percy said.
" It's true! In the bok about the Ancients, it said after you mastered a skill, the type of wing of the skill would disappear for the time being, then would reappear as a different type of wing and the locket would show you a new symbol, meaning that you gained a new power, and you have to master that power and so on so forth," Nico explained. All of a sudden, a conch horn blew, but in a different meaning. The hunters have arrived! That means Thalia had come right? Boy, was Percy right all right. Then Percy realized something.
" Chiron, what day is it?" Percy asked Chiron.
" It's Friday, child," Chiron replied.
" That means the Hunters have came for a game of Capture the Flag, right?" Percy asked.
" Maybe... usually they have other duties... I must go ask them. See you at dinner!" Chiron said and cantered out the room.
" Whoa! Did he just say dinner?! I missed almost the whole day?!" Percy exclaimed/asked.
" Well... ya..." Grover replied uneasily. The conch horn blew for dinner, saving Grover an explanation.
" Whew! Dinner time! I'm starving!" Nico said.
" 'K. Well, let's try shall we, body?" Percy said as he tried to stand up, he immediatly fell back down. " Ugh... I need some support. Can you guys help me?" Beckendorf came over and took one of Percy's arm and Grover took the other. " Thanks, guys," Percy said to them.
" No problem, Percy. After all, that's friends do right?" Beckendorf said. They started walking toward their destination. Many people immediatly started staring at Percy's, erm, wings. They started whispering to each other. Others just ignored it with no success. Percy sighed. Percy just had to be the last Ancient. In the world. For hundreds or thousands of years. They arrived in just a matter of minutes. Everbody in the pavillion all turned to stare at Percy.
" Oh my Gods," one of the campers muttered. Then Thalia saw Percy and her mouthed gaped at his wings.
" Um, Percy, what happened to you? You have wings!" Thalia exclaimed at last. The other Hunters agreed with there lietenant of Artemis. Suddenly, Artemis appeared in a shower of silver dust.
" Then it's true what the others saw," Artemis said at last, shooting a glance at Percy's wings.
" Others as in the other gods and godesses?" Percy questioned.
" Yes... well anyways, I'm just going to make an announcement. Today, the Hunters and I will join Capture the Flag tonight."
" Did you just say you will be playing?" Travis Stoll said from the Hermes table.
" Yes. You can allow Percy to use his new powers then-" Artemis started.
" What?! Percy has new powers?! Come on Percy! Show us!" Conner exclaimed.
" Erm... don't you see I'm tired? I just grew wings and my Ancients mark is fuckin burnin' my forehead to ashes!" Percy plainly stated.
" Wait. Did you just say you have an Ancients mark? Show me," Artemis questioned. Percy raised his hair and showed Artemis his Ancients mark. It was still glowing a little and it suddenly burst with a huge light. Percy groaned and immediatly blacked out. Grover and Beckendorf were amazed, so they didn't catch Percy. The other campers gasped. Percy was still writhing in pain on the floor. Annabeth yelled out a 'Percy!' and ran to his side. Chiron came over and said to take Percy to the Big House. Nobody moved from the other campers and Annabeth took one of Percy's arm and had to drag Percy. Grover came over to Annabeth and helped with the other arm. Together, they mustered enough strength to drag Percy to the Big House. Annabeth went over to a cabinet and took out some Ambrosia and Nectar. She told Grover he could go and she started feeding Percy the food of the Gods. Grover left to tell Chiron that Percy was fine right now and Annabeth is taking care of him. Chiron then announced that Capture the Flag would be postponed until Percy woke up. The Ares cabin started mumbling about how Percy always ruins Athena cabin were thinking really hard about there battle plans against the Hunters and Artemis. And I mean really hard. Extra time for them!
Percy's POV
I blacked out due to the pain in my head... I was falling into a darkness... falling... falling... falling... Then suddenly, I felt a dark presence. It was Kronos, Lord of the Titans, or Luke Castellan. I hoped it was the real Luke. Damn ya! My wish came true. I saw Luke in a very battered state. He was looking very tired. His skin was still pale, due to the fact that Kronos was inhabited in his body. Without knowing I landed on the ground, I picked myself up and walked over to him. I waited and waited. He didn't realize I was there so I said
" Luke. I'm here. Is this just a dream..."
Annabeth's POV
I was finally finished feeding Percy thhe food of the Gods when Percy started mumbling. Then he said louder," Luke. I'm here. Is this just a dream or something?" Percy said, still unconscious. I moved closer to his bed and listened to his talk-when-uncounscious. He said, " Luke, are you ok? What happened? Or is this Kronos?" I shivered at the mentionof the Titan Lord's name, but I still continued listening intently. " Oh, good. If it was Kronos, that would have been bad... So Luke, why did you betray us? Why did you have to hurt Annabeth. I mean not physicaly, but emothionaly? She had loved you, Luke. I just want to bring her happiness. Is there anything I could do to help take away Kronos from your body? Even if it means sacrificing my life?" I had a tear dribbling down my face, but I immediatly wiped it away. Then Percy said," If that's the only way, I'll take the chance. I'll take your place, Luke. I'll let Kronos inhabit my body. I'm doing this because you were my friend and you didn't mean to betray us. His evil is great. And I'm also doing this because I love... Annabeth. I know she didn't have the same feelings for me, but I know she loves you, Luke. So I'm going to bring her happiness before I die. You said I'm going to have to kill myself, but it also kills Kronos, so I'll do it. For the sake of the Gods. For the sake of the world. For the sake of you, Luke. But mostly, for the sake of Annabeth. I know she'll be happy with you. To let Kronos take over my body, I'm going to have to join the Titans, right Luke?" Percy paused. I was crying hard now. I made no motion to try to wipe them away. Oh, Percy didn't know how much I love him too, but Luke's coming back! I also have feelings for Luke, but I couldn't choose. I started to cry when Percy mentioned he had to die to take down Kronos. " Camp would thnk I'm a traitor, so they'll forget me when I die. They'll have some conflict on trusting you again, but Annabeth would trust you in no time. The others would think I'm a traitor. Nobody would remember me for killing Kronos. So I'm just doing this for the happiness of Annabeth. Let's say... we meet in three months...?" I would remember Percy. It's true, I would trust Luke in no time at all. I bet Percy doesn't know I can hear him, so when he betrays us and moves to the Titans, I'll be there to tell camp. To tell camp that Kronos would inhabit Percy's body and let Luke go. Luke was drawn to Kronos by evil forces. I'll also tell them that it's the only way Percy could get close to him. Percy would have to kill himself to save camp, to save the Gods and Mount Olympus, and to save the world.
Luke's POV
" Thank you, Percy. But how would you be able to hold Kronos off long enough to strike yourself with a sword or the scythe?" I questioned him, " Only a God or an Ancient could hold him off for that long. They could hold them for eternity wtihout trembling if there three-fourths of there power are mastered."
" Then I don't have to die then, Luke. You wondering why I need three months?" I nodded. " It's because I need time to master all my powers. Right now, I'm trying to master the element, air. Because I am an Ancient. I was born an Ancient, Luke. I need to hurry up though now. It's going to be some hard work."
" Holy fuckin shit! Your an Ancient!" I exclaimed.
" Yes, I know, I know," Percy said, giving a mock bow. I laughed. Percy then smiled. He looked up, but only saw darkness. " How do I get out of here?" Percy suddenly asked.
" Um... dunno... Just pop back up in the world of conscious?" I said dumbly.
" Let's try flying up, eh? This might help me air power..." Percy then waved his arms and focused on the ground he flew up. " See ya Luke! Don't forget to, like, pick me up in three months!"
Percy's POV
I shot up fast and then I reached a light. I shot into the light and there I was. I was awake in the world of the conscious. Then I realized somebody's head was on my chest. It was Annabeth's head! I shook her awake and she blushed. She looked so cute when she blushed. Gods, I better stop thinking about that so I could part easier. Well, I'm telling Nico and Thalia so they could back me up because, well, I'm not really a traitor. Luke is, and still is, a good friend. Hey, sometimes he was more dumb than me. Usually, I'm the dumbest. Hey, after all, I am the Seaweed Brain.
" Percy? You listening?" Annabeth said while waving her hand in front of my face.
" Uh, what you say?" was my genius response. Annabeth sighed.
" You've been out for the whole day. Chiron postponed Capture the Flag until you woke up. Well now your up, might as well tell Chiron."
" Ok. Help me up, will you. Wait. Nevermind. Might as well practice my air powers..." I made a movement with my hand and the air around me propelled me up. Annabeth stared at me in awe and I felt a few feathers grow on my back, glowing a little. I wonder what it means... Oh well. I started feeling weak agian and Annabeth grabbed my arm before I fell. I raised an eyebrow at her and she just blushed. I put an arm around her shoulders and started walking, only to find myself falling a little and Annabeth grabbed my arm again and this time, started helping me walk outside. We went over to where Chiron, Mr. D, and two other satyrs playing pinochle.
" Ah, hello Percy. How you feel?" Chiron asked, concerned.
" I feel a little weak. Drop me in water and I think I'll be ready to play Capture the Flag."
" Ah yes. I think this time with your powers, we'll win Capture the Flag. They'll finally lose their winning streak!" Chiron said happily.
" Yes, yes. We'll finally beat them. Hurrah, hurrah. Surprise, surprise," Mr. D said for the first time. " Now let's finish the game of pinochle! I think I have the winning hand this time. I beat the two other satyrs, now let's see you." Chiron took up his cards, and put them down.
" I guess I win, again," Chiron said. " I'm going to the mess hall to prepare the others for dinner. See you later Percy, Annabeth." and with that happy note, he cantered off.
" Well, what should we do now, Wise Girl?" I asked while walking off to nowhere specific.
" Well, want to sit at the beach for a little while, Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked me.
" Sure, why not. While we're there, dump me into the water will you, Wise Girl?" I asked.
"'K. Sounds fun to me. Dumping you into the water, Seaweed Brain." We walked over to the beach and before I knew it, Annabeth rammed my back flat, literaly, into the water. I manipulated the air around me, sending me far away from the beach's shore. Right when I touched the water, I felt my strength flow back into me with a sense of calmness I always felt I was by or in the waters. I just laying down, floating, on the water. The conch horn for dinner blew and I shot myself into the air and flew to the shore. Annabeth was sitting on the beach, waiting for me. She some me flying, but I accidently crashed into her. Somehow, my lips were on her cheek. I quickly got up and tried to hide my embarrassment and blush that didn't work to well. I was about to apologize, but she put two fingers on my lips to stop me from saying anything. She got up and started walking toward the dining pavillion with me trailing behind her. Once we arrived, we parted to our seperate tables and I saw Artemis's Hunters at the Artemis table. I pondered on something. It was about Capture the Flag. Will I be able to win for them with my powers? Of course, my water powers were now maximized, so I could pretty much do everything with water. Air? Eh, I still need practice. Right then, I got this crazy idea because I couldn't find my locket anywhere. My wings were now formed with the locket, so I tried my crazy idea. I turned my head to my wings and blew on it. It turned to a sea-smelling dust. I thought another crazy idea. I said 'watch' in Ancient Greek and...
