When the magical ship finally reached the shores of Camp Half-Blood Leo helped Calypso carry her oak trunk onto the beach and started to take Festus' head off the front of the ship. In a few minutes Leo had gotten the head off and was taking it to the Hephaestus cabin leaving Calypso alone on the beach. She decided it was as good a time as any and opened the trunk revealing a face she hadn't seen before. The person was a guy who looked in his teens with brown hair and a handsome face.
"P-Percy...is that you?" the persons face scrunched in confusion before a paper airplane fell out of nowhere hitting the mystery person in the face. He unraveled the note and started reading it.
I have decided to give you a new face and a new name to improve your chances on this mission. Your new name is Alec and you are 15 years old. Don't worry you still have the same skills and strength but you will have to be careful when showing your strength as you are 15 to everyone else. Don't mess this up.
,Kronos
Percy just handed the note to Calypso and climbed out of the trunk right as Leo came back. "Ok, Calypso are you rea-, wait who are you" he asked looking towards Percy.
"I uh am.." Calypso noticing Percy struggling quickly said "This is Alec he just showed up out of nowhere, we should probably take him to Chiron."
"I guess you're right", Leo replied pulling out his hammer just in case. When they walked into the Big House Chiron was in his wheelchair form in the conference room looking over notes. When he noticed Leo he started to smile till he saw that Leo wasn't alone.
"Leo who are your guest?" questioned Chiron. "This is Alec, he just appeared on the beach when I got back from getting my other guest Calypso." replied Leo who had to hold in a laugh looking at Chirons expression when he introduced Calypso.
"We will speak about Calypso later but first, Alec do you remember how you got here?" "No I was walking down the street when there was a bright flash and I was on the beach. Also is that the Calypso, like in Odysseus?" Asked Percy trying to act surprised.
Chiron believed his fake surprise and started to explain, "Yes, you see all the Greek myths are real including the gods. Since you are here that means you are a Greek demigod and one of your parents is a god." Percy continued his little charade by saying "I didn't know either of my parents. I grew up in an orphanage till I ran away and got teleported here." Chiron believed his story and told Leo to give him a tour of camp while he talked to Calypso alone.
(Line Break)
"And there is the end of Leo's special tour around camp", said Leo stopping in front of the Hermes cabin just as the dinner horn sounded. "Have fun", Leo yelled as he went to be with his cabin. Percy just waited for the Hermes cabin to spill out, and after quickly explaining that he was in their cabin now he set off with them. After they had burned food for the gods with Percy praying to Tyche for luck, Chiron introduced Percy and their special guest Calypso who'd be staying in the Big House. Then he announced that the Hunters were going to come by camp in a few days which meant that they would have a capture the flag match.
After dinner Percy went back to the Hermes Cabin where they showed him the spot on the floor where he would sleep. After everybody had gone to sleep Percy decided it was a good time as any to test out his power over monsters starting with the curfew harpies. He walked outside to see that the harpies had already came to him screeching "Camper out of cabin! Food for harpies!" While they were yelling Percy pulled up his sleeve revealing his brand that was a Greek omega symbol. Right as the harpies saw the brand the flew to the ground and bowed to Percy while talking in unison "What is your command Lord?"
"Go back to normal but be ready to come to me on command when I call for you." Satisfied that the brand had worked Percy went into the forest outside of the camp borders where he gathered four hellhounds and two pit scorpions to add to his now 10 monster 'army'. He then sneaked into the Big House to see Calypso.
"Hello." Percy said startling Calypso who relaxed when she saw who it was. Calypso replied by asking "Why are you up so late..Alec?"
"I was out 'recruiting' and I thought I would come by and visit you", Percy answered. "So what is your first move going to be?" questioned Calypso. Percy paused before replying "I think I'm going to stay at camp and continue to go into the woods at night to gather a small army before going to somehow free Atlas and start taking over the forts for demigods that according to someone in my cabin had started popping up around the place when I was gone." After telling her his plans Percy went back to his cabin and went to sleep where he had a very vivid dream.
Percy knew immediately where he was. That place was Tartarus and he assumed he was there to talk to Kronos. At the moment he was floating around and his assumptions were proved right when he solidified into a person and was standing in front of Kronos.
"Hello Jackson. I saw what you told Calypso and I agree seeing that the west is weaker than the eastern coast. I also saw that the brand is working on the monsters. I have arranged to talk to you right now concerning the forts. There will be demigods at every outpost and I am wondering if you are willing to kill your own blood.
Percy was silent for a while before saying "I will give them a chance to join me and if they say no than I will do what is necessary." Kronos only replied by saying "Good. Also the hunters are coming through camp, try and be discreet with your swordplay and don't use your scythe. That weapon is not to be known about yet.
When Percy woke up he found the Kronos wasn't lying and the Hunters led by Artemis were waltzing into camp like they already owned the place. Percy like many other campers went out to watch them walk past, with the exception of Artemis who was going to the Big House while the others went towards their cabin. Percy holding in his anger verses the goddess went back in his room for only a few minutes before a horn was sounded signifying the capture the flag game was about to start.
It was the main cabins vs. the Hunters. The Athena cabin put Ares and Hermes attacking while the Hephaestus cabin would attack after setting up traps. The Apollo cabin would split with the oldest on defense and youngest on medic duty. Percy was meant to defend the least used part of the creek seeing as he was the new guy.
After Chiron had done the regular rules the horn blew and Percy went to the middle of the creek making sure his powers were allowing him to get wet. He had pants and armor that covered his arms so he could heal with the water without being questioned. The hunter seemed to assume they would put the newbie in the least used place so they sent to people there to have fun with him.
When they showed up, the two hunters were walking like they were going to have an easy job. What they walked to was a fully covered in armor demigod with his sword drawn ready to fight. Thinking she could easily take him on one of the girls stepped up with her two hunting knives and tried to quickly end him by feinting right and slamming her hilt into his helm, instead of the desired effect he read the fake and slammed his hilt into her head knocking her out.
The other girl just sat and watched her sister be easily knocked out by this man. She decided to try a different approach and fire boxing glove arrows at him. He could have dodged the arrows all day but to make him look like he got lucky with the first girl he took a boxing glove to the face knocking him down and out. Of course laying in the water he was awake right as a horn sounded signaling another loss for Camp Half-Blood.
A few months later Percy had an army of 100 assorted monsters at his command when needed and he just needed an excuse to head West. As if the Fates were listening Rachel got green eyes and walked to Percy and started to speak in multiple voices at once.
One son of none must go West
To release the burden of an unlucky guest
The one shall continue his path
To save the world from a most unwanted wrath
May he live or may he die
Only a solo quest will decide where his fate lies
After catching Rachel Percy headed towards the Big House to talk to Chiron.
"What does it mean? There is only one burden in the West and it isn't one to be released." "It seems I'll have to if we are to stop whatever this unwanted wrath is", Percy chimed in.
"Yes, but releasing Atlas is a whole new unwanted wrath be unleashed, even if there is no way around it how do we go about releasing him."
"From what I've heard you usually just wing it", he replied. "Yes but this is a Titan we are talking about, you can't just 'wing' it. I would say that you should leave soon, tomorrow morning preferably." "Ok" is all Percy said as he walked out to pack his things. When he went to sleep he wasn't surprised to see Kronos again.
It seems even the Fates want to end the gods, and you will start by freeing Atlas and taking one of the smaller forts in the San Francisco area. Its not well connected so you won't have to worry about any extra resistance. Remember what you do in the next few days will make or break our take over.
Percy woke up the next morning ready to usher another Golden Age starting with freeing Atlas.
I am sorry for the last chapter. I know it made no sense and when I went to fix it, I uh couldn't find the original file so that is why chapter 2 is so confusing. I hope I don't let that happen in this chapter, also thank you whoever pointed out that I did mess up so I could explain myself right now. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this slightly longer chapter. Please tell me if I did anything wrong and I am sorry that the capture the flag fight sucked but I will try to do better with the fighting scenes in the later parts of this story.
