~ {Percy's P.O.V} ~
Now, let me get this straight: I did not ride in some random carriage ridden by a god out of my own will.
The first time I tried that, the end was kind of bad. We nearly burned a city…Of course, back in the day, it was Thalia driving. But I couldn't say I trusted Apollo more than her.
While we rode in the sky, the lights of some city shone below us. The wind ruffled my hair. I liked it. Overall, it would've been a nice experience if it wasn't for the sun god's blabbing.
Maybe it's rude to yawn when people are talking, but Apollo bored the living daylights out of me.
"…so, then I heard my sister calling me. The girl I was with…,well the wind spirit actually, was hot! And trust me, I'm the sun god; I know what I mean when I say that. Unfortunately, I had to leave her. I promised I'd see her again. Oh, I miss…was it Tanya? Emily? I don't remember anymore." – The god shrugged. I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but this Tanya – Emily girl wouldn't be happy when she learned that Apollo doesn't even know her name.
I gazed at the city below me. It looked vaguely familiar. I saw a bridge…so… San Francisco maybe? I didn't know. But it was beautiful. The mortals below us were probably doing their night-time activities; sleeping, reading, finishing some last-minute-before-they-go-to-bed stuff…They didn't know that above them, the son god was riding his sister's carriage with a bunch of demigods, telling them above his latest hook-up with a wind spirit.
I wish I was at their place. Their world seemed to be free of care. Of course, they had their own mortal problems, but they didn't seem so important. At least not to me.
I sighed. Annabeth turned to me, smiled and whispered: "It's beautiful out here, isn't it Seaweed Brain?"
She looked beautiful in the dim light coming from the mortal world below. Her blonde hair lay loose over her shoulders. A little piece of her fringe was in her stunning grey eyes. I had to resist the urge to reach out and tug it behind her ear.
"It sure is. You know, one day, when we grow up and when that monster stuff isn't our problem anymore, I want to live with you. We'll buy a house somewhere, maybe near the sea. We'll live a normal life then. We'll be safe."
Annabeth's smile faded and her body tensed. "That is, if we survive that long." – Her eyes soared around the sky. After a moment of silence, she shrugged and smiled again. – "But I'll take your offer. I like it."
I leaned in. Just when our lips were about to meet, Mr. Annoying or Apollo (take you pick) interrupted.
"Ah, young love. I normally don't get fascinated by that. But…you two are cute. You like Annabeth, don't you PJ?" – The god turned his chocolate eyes towards me. At that moment though, in this light up in the sky, they looked gold; a beautiful shade of gold. That reminded me of Hazel back at camp. I wondered what they were up to…
I pushed that thought away and snorted. "Don't call me PJ."
"Whatever you say, PJ." – His attention turned to Thalia. His eyes sparkled as he looked at her. – "Thalia Grace. Such a lovely young girl. How has it been under the control of my little sister?"
The air became electric. Literally, as Thalia started throwing sparks. "With all due respect, sir…, god… whatever you like to be called, we are not under any kind of control. Artemis takes us under her wing, she protects us. Also, she does not like you to call her 'little'. You two are twins."
"Whatevs." – The god waved his hand carelessly. - I do not stress too much over that matter."
I turned to the other demigods beside me; Trish, Ally, Dez and Austin hadn't said a word since we had climbed on board…or whatever you call it with a carriage.
Austin shifted nervously in his seat. He refused to meets the gods eyes, as if he might burn him. I wondered what that was all about…
Then, Grover spoke up. "Um…sir? Artemis told us that the Olympians have had some….problems when it comes to this Roman equivalent thing. Not that I mean anything bad, but how come this doesn't affect you?"
"Hm...Interesting question, goat. Well, why would it? The sun burns everywhere. Rome, Greece…it's universal. I do not have problems as such. I'm different from the other fellow Olympians. More godly. More good-looking."
Grover nodded, though I suspected it was out of politeness. Apparently, he did not agree with that 'more good-looking' statement.
"Ah! "– Apollo suddenly exclaimed. – "Let's stop here for a bit, shall we?"
Ally looked puzzled. "Why?"
The god grinned. "You'll see."
With no further explanations, we darted towards the ground with no idea what we'll find there. Apollo was right. This indeed is one heck of a godly ride.
Well, at least now I know that I hate godly rides.
So, that was it! Did you like it? =] I really hope you did! Tell me your thoughts it your reviews! Thanks, guys! More chapters are coming today, so look out for them!
I love you all!
Stay awesome and #LOUD!
