Umm.. Wow. I know I haven't checked my fan fiction in a while but you guys, just wow. 27 reviews! When I last checked I had like 7. To Egyptologist I don't know a lot about this mythology, I am only going by the title of the official one and trying to make sense of it. I have gotten all positive reviews and that warms my heart. There will only be one more chapter after this guys, sorry. I don't know what I will do after though, suggestions are very welcome, if I know what you are talking about. Thanks guys!
CARTER
The Olympians… as in other gods. I don't have any idea how they will react to us. I know Chiron is supposed to be really old and wise but this just doesn't seem right. As we took the bus to the Empire State Building-apparently Olympus is on the 600th floor, I was pretty sure it only had 102 floors but I didn't want to say anything- I noticed Sadie and Nico holding hands, right then I was pretty sure I was going to have a mental breakdown. She does realize that they can't ever see each other. If they did, the gods- ours and theirs- would throw a fit. Percy must have seen me staring because he told me that the gods owed him. I guess that makes sense considering what he has told me, but this isn't some idiotic rule, this is bad! Here we are. Percy is asking the doorman (AN is that what they call him) for a key and lead the way to the elevator. Not everyone in camp came, only the leaders of each cabin. I was not the least bit excited for this, but seeing as I have no choice- Here goes nothing.
PERCY
Once we reached Olympus I turned to Carter and Sadie to see the look of awe on their faces. We made it to the throne room to see the 12 Olympians sitting in their thrones having a heated discussion. We introduced our selves though it was more of a formality, except for the Egyptians.
"Sadie Kane, Savior of Egypt, Former host of Iris, and Protector of Ra."
"Carter Kane, Pharaoh of the First Nome, Defeater of Apophis, Savior of Egypt, Former host of Horus, and Protector of Ra."
Once they finished I heard Ares mutter something that sounded a lot like fresh meat and Carter gripped his sword with a certain readiness. I couldn't help but chuckle, He was definitely a lot like me. Then I noticed the rest of the gods, they looked absolutely furious. Huh..
Zeus's thunderous voice filled the throne room. "Why have you brought them here?"
Everyone looked at me, expecting me to speak. I usually would, even if the gods were angry, but this looked like a touchy subject. No one spoke, and after a moment I was about to speak since no one else had the guts. But Annabeth had already begun. I gave her a grateful look- I'm not happy about throwing her under the bus like that but it's no secret that even though I am the savior of Olympus most of the gods like Annabeth( and pretty much anyone else) better than me- before she continued, "Lord Zeus, I apologize for the inconvenience but-"
"Stupid girl! How dare you bring those Egyptians here." Zeus bellowed angrily. Annabeth looked flustered; she really did not appreciate being called stupid. I was about to step up when Athena spoke "Father, do not speak to my daughter in such a way! Child, Continue."
Annabeth gulped, but began again, "Lords and Ladies of Olympus, this was not our idea, we were told to do so and we were simply following orders."
"Who gave you such deranged advice." I see Zeus's temper is just as short as it used to be. I looked back to Annabeth, she was hesitating. I know camp wouldn't survive a moment without Chiron, Mr. D would probably turn us all into dolphins or something. For once, she was stumped I quickly answered, "A voice in a dream told me so, but Zeus, right now shouldn't we deal with the issue at hand."
Zeus was not pleased by the way I spoke to him, but he never did much, perks of being the prophecy child I guess. Athena again came to the rescue- I reminded myself to burn the biggest piece of barbeque for her next time. "Father, for once the mortal boy is right."
I winced. I still owed her but she didn't seem to care particularly me. Zeus was once again, infuriated, "Very well, who votes to burn these Egyptians to dust." I looked around. Zeus, Dionysus, and Ares all had their hands raised. Thankfully my dad and the other Olympians stayed strong. Now it was Poseidon's turn to speak, "Brother, that is a bit rash, they meant no harm, perhaps we should here other suggestions." We looked around the throne room, hoping someone should speak up. It was Artemis who finally did- I was relieved, she may not like boys but other than that she is definitely a very reasonable goddess. "Father, perhaps we should banish them to never return to Olympus or Camp Half-blood, and never speak of or about this to another soul." It may sound harsh but we all knew that this was merciful, they could have decided to wash Carter and his friends in the Lethe. I turned to see how the Egyptians were taking this. Sadie looked ready to say something but Nico pulled her back, Good Nico. Carter on the other hand looked perfectly still. I saw some details about him that showed he was not completely pleased like his set jaw and his balled fists but he stayed silent. I know if it was me, I wouldn't take this quiet. Maybe he was not so much like me after all. The gods voted and they agreed on this idea. We left Olympus silently, but I saw Athena glare at me as I put my arm around Annabeth's shoulder. Hehe… Woops.
We all traveled back to Camp, still no one has said a word. We went to the Big House to discuss final details. It was decided that the Egyptians would leave first thing tomorrow morning. Once they retired to bed we were forced to take an oath to never speak of this incident in the boundaries of Camp, or to any attendees of Camp. I didn't want to do it, Carter and Sadie would have been helpful on quests and such if only the gods weren't so stubborn. I heard thunder rumble in the distance. Again… woops.
I have seen some really enthusiastic reviews. If you like this your mind will be blown by my next chapter story, once I get an idea. Soo.. this will sound awkward but I want to know a little about you guys, nothing personal just music, books, pet peeves, random snipets. I write original outside of fanficton and I need some inspiration. Thanks to all my awesome readers. R&R
