OK, so about the first chapter. I realize that I made mistakes while typing; the Greeks were invading the roman camp so, that's what I meant. i also made the chapter a little short because I was trying to get ready for a Halloween party at the same time. So now that that's all settled here is the next chapter. If you have read any of my other stories you will know that i like the concept of riptide being click-able. i mean seriously? try putting a pen cap onto the tip of a gladius...
Percy's POV:
The ship sank below the waves i had just formed, Whoever the enemy was they weren't prepared for that. Brushing my hair behind my ear Reyna leaned into my shoulder and whispered. "Ready to go round them up?"
Without waiting for an answer she pulled away and started jogging across the castle's upper walkway. Was everything always a race with her? I smirked and started running after here bumping into soldiers on the way. For as long as i can remember we had been together. I had been abandoned by my mother and Neptune, i couldn't remember them well but Reyna had said i was young and it wasn't a surprise i didn't remember much. Some of the Castle's Satyrs had found me wondering the streets looking for my parents. At times it was hard to believe sometimes but i always had people reassuring me that this was my home and its always were it has been.
I was stopped in mid a child of Vulcan was lugging a cannon out of one of a damaged cubby hole.I tripped over the wheel of the back half of the weapon and skidded before catching myself and returning to a full like this happened all the time, the castle was getting old and parts were crumbling. It was the children of Vulcan's responsibility to keep the damaged area's clean and in good shape but lately we had been busy with so many quests that nobody had taken the time to do anything productive around here. By the time i finally caught up with Reyna she was already at the gate. kids from the age of twelve to Nine-teen were clad in silver gauntlets, breastplates, helmets, et cetera. We only dressed like this when we where going to be attacked, it was strange though. Weren't we the ones who just did the attacking?
A conch horn blew in the background and a soldier ran up to me holding a leather rucksack. Magical of course, it looked like a normal potato sack but i could tell the boy was having a hard time carrying whatever was inside. "Percy." the boy said. "Put your armor on, I really think it would be unwise to go out there without any protection."
"Thanks Collin." I patted the boy on the shoulder and waved him off. Opening the rucksack i immediately knew what it was. I pulled out a gauntlet, and the other necessary equipment. leaving the helmet in the bag i slipped the armor over my clothes and pulled my weapon out of my pocket. It didn't seem very deadly at first sight but few knew of the damage it could cause. I clicked the pen and braced myself for whatever was going to happen next.
Reyna had gotten into her armor relatively fast. That was here forte; speed. We stepped out of the castles walls and out onto the shipping dock. The enemy was swimming up to us, i didn't figure it was going to be this easy. I was actually looking forward to a fight, i hadn't had one for what seemed like forever. Plus Practice back at the castle's interior was too easy, no one could keep up with me and i always seemed to disarm my opponents. When i was asked to teach what i knew i could never remember how i learned them. Eventually Kids stopped asking for my help and they just tried focusing on what i did and repeated it. Unfortunately that wasn't much help either.
"You traitor!" A girl who was actually rather frightening ran up to me from out of the water. Her spear Cracked with electricity as she tried to jab me. I was hit with something, not with the tip of her weapon but a memory.
I was younger. maybe twelve or thirteen, i couldn't recall the memory from anywhere. I was in the woods next to the very girl who was attacking me. she hit me with her spear and i fell into the water. People Gathered as i picked up my haggled body, which now seemed to be perfectly fine. Then my head throbbed as i switched to a different scene. it was more recent than the last. I could be around six-teen. I was on a battled field with the same girl but this time she was fighting with me, monsters swarmed and we both lunged at our enemy's.
Before I could get hit i jumped to the side but the girl i was fighting somehow knew what i was doing. Her spear slapped me in the back of the head and before i could catch myself on the ground i felt a rush of blood flow out of my nose that was probably broken. i take it she brought her knee to my face before i could do anything. Thankfully some sons and daughters of Trivia bound the girl in a temporary paralysis. Reyna ran to my side helping me up, i slightly wobbled and pushed her away in frustration. I was rarely best at my own game.
"Are you alright Percy?" Reyna asked."Do we need someone from the medical wing over here?"
I sighed in frustration. blood was trickling down my nose and falling into my mouth now. "Just get a daughter of Apollo over here soon."
Before I could get any form of mending done more of the enemy soldiers approached from the shore, a girl and a boy, carrying another girl in his arms. The eldest of the Three was a tall blond girl with hair that looked like it would be curly if it hadn't just been soaked by a twenty foot wave, she looked so familiar but i couldn't recall were we had met before. i got a sharp pang in my head. Right next to her was a Blond Boy that looked around the older girls age, he was wearing an orange shirt that read "Camp Half-Blood". The girl in his arms didn't catch my eye at all except that she was fairly pretty but i waved that fact off. i gripped my weapon a little harder but the huge group of enemy's in front of us looked to worn out and to put down for a fight. deciding against fighting i clicked my swords hilt and it turned back into a harmless pen. Suddenly the oldest blond girl walked up to me, i wasn't sure what was going to happen but i told the rest of the soldiers to stand down.
The girl wrapped her arms around me and started sobbing. i couldn't exactly understand what she was saying but what i heard made me fall over losing all consciousness. how could those Three words have came from her mouth. she didn't even know me.
