Chapter Two
(A/N I edited my first chapter to the few reviews which helped a lot and got me back on track. Thank you if you reviewed or add my story to your favorites/ Percy POV)
When the nymphs brought out the food my stomach growled. It was eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and ham. Chiron did the usual toast to the gods and everyone went to the brazier to scrape a good piece of food to offer to the gods. While I was doing it I prayed to Aphrodite to thank her for the kiss with Annabeth because that was not all the damn hormones surging through my body but, some goddess had something to do with it. We all enjoyed it since Annabeth and I are her favorite couple now. After breakfast I went to Archery which I hate. I was thinking about the quest when I hear, "Earth to Percy. Kelp head, seaweed brain," She yelled so loud I think Annabeth blew out my ear drums. "Gods, Annabeth do you have to yell so loud,"
"To get your attention then, yes I do. You were telling me about the fight and you stopped." "Oh yeah, Hephaestus caught Aphrodite and Ares and got mad and built automaton to break the her mirror which as you know is her symbol of power and the only one who can fix it is Hephaestus but he'll do it if someone will do it so Chiron said there needed to be a quest to find lepidolite, Selenite, and a chunk of diamond. To give to Hephaestus to smelt into a bar then, dipped in the river of Styx. Hades said he'll let a few go to the underworld but he won't do anything about the monsters."
"Is there going to be a meeting about it to discus who will go on it?" I nodded my head, "It is tonight at 8:00,"
"Wow seaweed brain you are actually smart enough to the day and time." She gave me a playful punch. When I shot my first arrow I hit a target but, it was Malcolm's target which everyone laughed at me. My second shot I hit a kid. Chiron rush to him with ambrosia and nectar. The kid got up and I said sorry. "Percy you are excused from archery," Chiron said. I went to the fighting arena to train. Now I'm a teacher since I'm the best at it. I was teaching the disarming move, "Get into pairs and work on it, remember get them locked up the twist," I said trying to sound like a teacher. Luke Baker was the only person left so I paired with him and let him try out the move. He got it about 5 times which is good for a new Half-blood. Now it was time for the meeting.
When every got there Chiron said, "Ok, everyone quiet. This is what happened Hephaestus caught Aphrodite and Ares and got very furious and built automaton to break the her mirror which as you know is her symbol of power and the only one who can fix it is Hephaestus but he'll do it if someone will do it so Chiron said there needed to be a quest to find Lepidolite, Selenite, and a chunk of diamond. To give to Hephaestus to smelt into a bar then, dipped in the river of Styx. Hades said he'll let a few go to the underworld but he won't do anything about the monsters. So who wants to go? Oh and I already talked to Luke Baker our new camper he'll be leading it." Annabeth and I said at the same time unexpectedly that we'll go. "So it's decided you three shall be leaving tomorrow at noon. Luke will go visit the oracle. She is upstairs. Luke nodded and walked up, and came back a bit frightened and said, "Three will go west and face the worst, all will comeback. It'll be strenuous, and on will fall near the end and won't get back up. You will find a mine named of a dead. A deed worthy of Hermes will be done. Make a wrong move and none will come back.
"Ok, A deed worthy of Hermes will be done so I think we will have to steal one of the objects," Annabeth said. "And nothing else we can decipher except we will die if we do something wrong," She said with a puzzled face.
