A/N= Please don't be mad with me, I'm not gay what so ever, p.s yeah this story has a gay character in it and something messed up happened
Ares's face disappeared and all of my cabin just stared at me. I looked pretty stunned. We all recited the prophecy. Devon finished his fumes in a hour and stated "I'll make a meeting, we need to take Mario to the Oracle." Everyone nodded, now everyone looks at me a bit scared now. I sighed, can I be normal for one day? I get up and walked to Devon, "can you take me to the big house?" I asked, he nodded and headed for the door. we walked out of the Ares cabin and headed to a giant blue house. I walked in after Devon. Chiron and Mr. D was there playing cards. Dionysus is Mr. D's actual name but everyone calls him D. he had a fat stomach and a joyful but upset face. "What do you want Devin?" Mr. D grumbled, "Mario here, we think needs to see the Oracle." Devon spoked, "Mark? why him?" Mr. D questioned, I got mad, not used to his using of similar names. "My name is Mario! Get that straight!" I shouted at him. "Listen Marcus, I am a god and you should respect me before I turn you into a bottle of wine!" Mr. D got more enraged. I stepped back sacred,
I don't want to be a bottle of wine. I pipe my mouth and Mr. D calms down. "Alright, she's in the attic." he points upstairs, Devon starts walking and I followed him. He looked at the ceiling and said a greek command and a part of the ceiling opens with a rustic wooden ladder slowly going down. Devon moves to the side of the ladder and points his hand up. "up the ladder and you'll find yourself in sacred territory." Devon informed me, I climbed the ladder, each step had a unique squeak to it. I got myself to the top and looked at the quiet, dark room. I looked at Devon and he shook his head, knowing if he can come or not.
I sighed and looked at the only window across the attic, the moonlight entered a human figure. A girl, had red hair and she opens eyes of harsh hazel. She scans me with such interest and then words escaped from her, one of those voice that you wouldn't expect to survive hundreds years. "War and Sea will clash, one with fall of the sea and another to the pits. Seek the golden fruit before all starts." The words blew into my face as it turned pale, if I can. I looked more scared and shook my head. I turned to the exit and walked down next to Devon. "stay silent about this until the meeting tomorrow." He ordered me, I nodded. I asked him if I could be alone and he nodded, "be back by dinner maximum!" I nodded and ran off to the woods.
The moonlight shone off of the grass blades that laid below me. I came to a stop at a lake and walked down the riverway to the smaller creek. a Naiad was sitting down on a rock near the creek. She had jeans on with a blue shirt. She also had brown hair that flows like the creek itself. I waved hi to her and she waved back, I took a step towards her and asked her "so how are you?" "I'm good, your friend will be here in a few seconds so I better take my leave, he wants this to be private for something." the Naiad walked down to the creek and disappears in the water. I looked at creek and then turned to the rustling of Alexis and Xavier popping out of the trees. I looked at both of them but mostly on Xavier. "I'm here for something, tell me what you want to tell me?" I said, he gets nervous and starts playing with his fingers. "Come on Xavier." I sighed, "will you ever use this against me?" he asked, I looked at him puzzled and shook my head, "no I wouldn't." I replied, Xavier starts getting more nervous. I waited until he spoke, "you know Brian?" he asked me, I nodded, "yes I do, why?" Xavier sighed and look really shy. "I have a crush on him!" I looked at him and shrugged, "alright." Xavier flinched, "you don't have a problem with it?" he asked, Alexis stares at me oddly and I waved my hand over his face and he came back to his sense.
"No I don't, Alexis? you alright bro?" I said, Alexis spoke "yeah I am, I have been thinking of my name lately." Xavier relaxed and exhaled, I looked at him with a smile, I turned back to Alexis. "what does your name mean?" I asked, "it means 'defender'" he answered, I looked a bit troubled, Xavier is usually good at bringing up the mood. "you have defended us, a couple times." I stated, Alexis looks at me and asked me "when?" I chuckled a bit and started to think. "You fought Lukas those three times." Xavier intervened, I sighed and nodded, "you have." Alexis starts to nod, "Yeah I have." I start to smile and we kept promoting happiness to him. He get more hype, so hyped that he starts to be so cocky. "I'm so amazing, I get all of the Aphrodite girls falling for me." Alexis boasted, I laughed and Xavier retorted, "you're cool but no, just no." All of us laughed more and we calmed down. I looked at both of them and a bright red light pops out of the camp as a explosion.
I start running with Xavier and Alexis following me. I was always the fastest out of the three of us. Everyone seems to be gathered around the campfire. Four bulls surrounded the fire. They're covered in bronze and they had eyes of crimson red. "dafuq?" Xavier questioned, I looked back at him as he looked puzzled. His view turned from being at the bulls then at the crowd, Brian looks at Xavier and I threw my hands in front of me wow. "Why are you throwing your hands up?" Xavier asks, I looked at him and shook my head, "nothing, just the damn bulls." I responded, I take out my sword and Xavier pulled out his trident. Brian runs to Xavier's side. "Xavier? Are you alright?" Brian asked and I smiled a bit but looked away. "I'm good, th-thanks." Xavier stuttered a bit, I snickered and walked down the stairways to the center of the fire. "what are these bulls?" I asked Chiron when he was next to me. "bronze bulls, made from Hephaestus himself for a Greek king, they breathe fire." Chiron filled me in. I looked at Xavier bid farewell to Brian and heads down next to me. "so what's going on?" Xavier asked me, "four fire-breathing bronze bulls from Hephaestus himself." I answered back, he slowly nodded his head. "so how do I kick their asses?" he asked, I looked at Chiron for the answer. He looks down at me and Xavier, "These beasts are hard ones to kill." Chiron said, We looked back at the enraged bulls as they circle around, trying to burn the shields of the demigods that surrounded them. I looked at Xavier, "take out your water, we need it." I said, a bull charged and toppled 10 campers. Xavier nodded and ran to the lake. I went up, I asked for a spare shield.
A Aphrodite girl handed me one. I put on the shield and I start banging on my shield with my sword and I asked for reserves and 3 more campers came to my side. We locked into a shieldwall. We walked up to the bulls. The bulls mooed and focused on us. One seems to get ready to ram it's horns to flank us to our left. I looked at my left and saw Brian next to me. "watch to your left!" I said to Brian as our formation separated. Four on four, here we go, Where's Xavier now? The bulls start burning our shields and my arm begins to burn. Damn it hurts! Xavier! I moved forward and Brian seems to be in pain as well. "Don't lose the fight now." I encouraged him, he nodded and pushes forward with me. The next thing I know besides my arm being roasted and under extreme pain. A bull trampled over me. The bull tackles me. My head bashes with the ground and my shield burns many parts of my body as it touches me. "Gah!" I screamed and bit my tongue. The bull brings it hooves in the air and was about to bash my head until Gavin stabs the bull but ends up breaking his spear. At least he pushed it back. I get up on my feet and my sword get ready in my hand. More mooing comes from behind, the other two campers got knocked out. "Shit!" I exclaimed, Brian, Gavin, and I get back-to-back-to-back. All of the bulls surrounds us, my sword turns into a spear in a flicker of light. "Miss me?" Xavier shouted in the distance, Xavier walks up with a giant sphere of water. Everyone looked at Xavier, Xavier had a tired smile on his face and he lifted his hands in the air. The giant ball of water starts to swirl and slowly break, he throws it down at the bulls and swept everyone (and I mean everyone!)
I get up and coughed up water. "Fuck Xavier! you got to learn where you aim!" I get up from the muddy water and see Xavier looking at me, laughing. I waded to him and punched him lightly. I yelled at him for two more seconds and my fumes went out. I turned and looked at everyone else. Chiron was the first to rise up, the bulls turns quiet and dead, it's up the the Hephaestus cabin to deal with them. In a few hours, everyone got up and most of us went to the Infirmary. I walked with Brian, Xavier, and Gavin. My arm is burnt, as well with me, Gavin, and Brian. We walked inside and Xavier kept asking if he can help Brian. Brian looks at him, to me he looks afraid and answers the questions nervously, "Can I heal you?" Xavier asked, Brian looks creeped out and shouted "NO!" Everyone looks shocked at Brian. He blushes and calmed his temper, "sorry, just no, I think I'll be fine in the Apollo's arms... sorry." Brian revised his words. Xavier starts to look down and spoke in a staggered voice, "o-o-okay, It-it-it's okay, I'll wait until everyone gets better." Xavier walked away, face down and extremely depressed. I looked back at Brian and spoke to him "dude, don't be that harsh on Xavier, he's still a baby and he cares for his friends." Brian looks at me hurt and thought of what he said I hope. "sorry, I didn't know, ever since you guys came, he wanted to do almost everything the same as me. So I guessed that he'll be fine if I told him no, I shouted because he was getting on my nerves." "That shows he cares." "But that of his powers and what he can do, it frightens me!" Brian finished his question, Gavin looks at us the whole time.
We walked separate paths, I walked to the Ares part of the infirmary with Gavin. Gavin spoke up, "he cares for his friends?" I looked at him and nodded, "yeah he does." I replied, "I'm not so sure if that's true." Gavin spoke back, I looked at him questionably. "I know what your friend Xavier has loyalty to mostly." I looked him and looked interested. "tell me how." I said as we stood in front of our healers. They sung a song and wrapped our wounds and my skin stings. I muttered a bit about the pain. When we're alone. "Xavier seems to focus more on Brian than you lately." Gavin said, I made a gesture representing so? Gavin sighed, "do I have to be straightforward on this question?" he asked, I nodded and just as he spoke, we heard a shouting. "XAVIER, WHAT THE FUCK!"
