I strangely don't have time for Author's Note sorry.
To FantasyFan57: Skylar Grace is my own character. He is the Son of Zeus and if you want to know more please check out Gods Visit to Camp Half Blood and Yes, Silena did die, but I suppose we can keep the better Aphrodite child in this story can't we?
I do not own anything sorry. All rights go to Rick Riordan.
Present Day (Percy's P.O.V)
"Nico!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, chasing the Son of Hades through the maze of books I made while reading. Oh I should bring you back on what had happened the past five minutes.
Before this long running around the book labyrinth, I was on the couch reading a book about the peasants that lived in the castle. I stumbled upon Devin Knight, but before reading through it Nico shadow traveled out of nowhere and took it. That's how we ended up chasing each other in the maze.
"Come on Percy, stop being slow!" Nico laughed in the maze. I sighed and took off in the other direction I came and followed Nico's laughter.
"You damn Hades child!" I shouted, but when I came face to face with Nico, we ended up outside with my unfaithful friend, The Minotaur. I grunted before pulling out Riptide and uncapping it, "Bring it!" I shouted getting in front of Nico.
"Percy! Come on inside!" Nico shouted, trying to pull me away.
"Nico we need to defend this thing from camp!" I shouted back at him tugging my arm away. I charged at the Minotaur, but only to be slapped away by it. I crashed into a tree, but I couldn't be defeated that easily. I got back up, but my energy is being worn out quickly.
"Percy!" Nico shouted.
My eyes started closing, but I used the last of my energy to sneak up on the Minotaur and stab it in the back. I tried yanking out my sword, but to no avail. "Nico your tu-" I stopped there when I fell into darkness.
Peasant Section (King Neptune Arthur/Percy's P.O.V)
When I awoke I suspected I would be in that royal bed I loved waking up in, but instead I was leaned against a wall panting. I looked at my arm and saw a stab wound there. "Where am I?" My voice seemed cracked.
"You're in the peasant section." A voice I haven't recognized yet spoke up. "I found you on the ground hunched over after fending off some wild wolves and an assassin from villagers. That was truly brave for a Prince." The voice spoke to me before walking over to me.
My eyes opened a little and I saw the man. He was no taller than 5'5'' with shaggy black hair that was tamed by a skull headband pushing the hair in his eyes up. He had black eyes that seemed to be full of death, but warmth. He had tattered clothing, but far off in the corner you could see nice clothing for what seemed like a Royal carriage driver.
"I'm Devin Knight by the way, my Prince." Devin introduced himself. My eyes widen and I sat down the pain coming back.
"Percival Arthur." I replied back using my nickname. I grunted at the fact I was in pain just like when I came back from my first attack of the Minotaur.
"We all know who you are, my Prince." He spoke before laying me down. He seemed to know what to do when it came to medical attention. He looked at me and he saw he confusion. "I learned how to fend for myself and I usually would take care of Lady Stella, when she isn't feeling well. I also would keep a secret from her that Celio would visit." He spoke the last part with a smirk like it was blackmail material.
I chuckled at the thought of Celio being surprised. "Devin what were you doing out there?" I asked my voice a little hoarse.
"I would always walk outside. It was a small habit I picked up from my friend Celio, and Lady Stella." He replied back quickly.
"Lady Stella would leave the castle for a midnight walk?" I asked feeling my sleeve being lifted and a stinging pain came.
He didn't show any emotions when he saw my injury. "Yes, she said it was a romantic feeling she gets, but I doubt that. She wanted to see that masked hero who saved her from being molested." He responded.
"So she has a crush on a mask hero and you know this how?" I spoke having a smirk plastered on my face.
He seemed to have a tint of pink across his face. "I-I follow the Princess everywhere to keep her from harm's way, but I didn't have the skills to defend her." He quickly replied.
I muttered, "Stalker" quietly so only I could hear. "Do you know who the mask hero is?" I asked questionedly.
He nodded with a grin on his face. "I sure do! He is a great blacksmith, but Celio doesn't seem to like him very much. But I know I can change his mind! Celio is my big brother figure and I want to see if he can be like Blacksmith B!" He shouted pumping his fist in the air.
"You seem to look up to the both of them." I spoke looking at the stoned ceiling.
"I do my Prince! I want to become like them! I've been trying to until I was taken away from Celio by Stella's family, now I can't." He spoke sadly.
"Now Devin, what is your life mission?" I question sitting up and looking directly at him.
"To protect everyone around me of course; my sister was disabled from the waist down and Celio has been taking care of her. It was my fault that she was disabled, but now I want to be accepted as a real Knight and not just that scrawny carriage driver!" He shouted with determination.
I chuckled and messed up his hair with my other hand. "You got a lot a head of you my friend. I believe in you. Celio, Aglaia, and your sister do too." The moment I spoke those words they stumbled form the door. I smirked at them with a playful smile.
"Brother! It isn't your fault that I am disabled!" His sister shouted. His sister was quite stunning with long flowing black hair and the same cold, but warmth black eyes. She was in sleeping garments and was currently in Celio's arms.
"I tried holding her back in the village Devin, but she used this seduction method she learned from Stella." Celio whispered the last part quietly. The girl only giggled still holding onto Celio.
"Irene! If I was just stronger and the people accepted my help you wouldn't be disabled!" Devin shouted getting up from his place beside me.
Irene seemed like she wanted to continue the argument until I spoke up, "It wasn't Irene or Devin's fault. It is brought upon the fate's difficult obstacle that causes how we live life." I spoke with clearly.
They all looked at me stunned until Aglaia broke the ice. "I believe Lord Percival is correct. It is Fate's doing and we cannot avoid such thing." Aglaia agreed.
Celio just shrugged and nodded. Irene clanged onto Celio tighter looking like she is losing grip. Devin just stared at me in disbelief and nodded with a smile.
"Lord Percival if I may speak," Devin asked. I nodded for approval. "My dream is-" He stopped there and looked at Celio with a ghost smile. "Is to become a strong leader just like you. You put faith into people that are in lower classes and accept their help. You are just as wise as Celio and Athena, but you speak from your heart not the mind." He spoke with truthfulness replacing darkness in his eyes.
I smiled and put out my hand. "It's a deal then Devin. You are a faithful person with a dream and I want you to be my left hand man." I spoke.
"Don't you mean Right had man?" Devin tried correcting me.
"I believe Celio took that place if he would like it." I replied and looked at Celio.
He just shrugged and I could see Irene staring at him as well as Aglaia. He was sweating a little from the pressure. Until-
"Fine! He is part family I suppose." He said sheepishly.
"I'm part family?" I questioned and he looked at me with a smile.
"I treat these squirts as family and I've always taken care of them even Stella. We never got a long, but let's just say she likes taking care of Irene and Aglaia." He smiled before going out with Aglaia and Irene.
"You will love to get to know Celio!" Devin laughed and I just laid down the pain shooting back.
I started closing my eyes from the pain and I heard Devin shouting, but then he stopped when I slipped into complete darkness.
Present Day (Percy's P.O.V)
I awoke in the infirmary with everyone around. Nico has a wound to the head and cut to the cheek, but seemed okay.
"Where am I?" I choked out. I was tackled hugged back down onto the bed by Annabeth.
"Seaweed Brain your okay!" She cried out. I looked at her stunned. Annabeth Chase, was letting out her feelings right now?
"What do you mean? I was only out for a few hours." I spoke and felt light headed all of a sudden.
"I saw you and Nico run out of the Big House and then you just passed out. Nico protected you the best he can until I came out to stop it with Annabeth's furious stabs to the rotting bull man." Skylar explained shuddering at the thought.
"Annabeth never left your side when you were out for at least two days." Thalia finished the rest and my eyes widen. Two days!
I looked at Annabeth and just smiled. I pecked her on the cheek and a tint of red tattooed on her cheeks. "Thank you." I whispered and she just smiled.
My serious face came on and I could see Skylar straighten up while the others just looked at me. "Status report Skylar," I demanded.
He nodded before speaking. "We have found a couple of diaries and a Royal hat, but cannot identify it for status, and we discovered this." He responded and pulled out a picture from his pocket.
My eyes widen when I saw it and spoke up, "Get the hat," I demanded and got up from my infirmary bed. Nico and Annabeth followed and I faced Nico. "You will be a good left hand man Nico Di Angelo, your dream is to be accepted?" I asked. He nodded before I continued, "I'm on your side I believe you." I smiled. He smiled back and we went out to the maze of books.
When the time is down, look for the humor of life. The boy may have pranks, but is loyal. A brave fighter, yet humorous with the jokes. His faith is put into his brother and his lover, but will become loyal to his friends and becomes their messenger. Keep the kid close to you my friend and you'll find many paths unlocked.
No One's P.O.V (Back in the Infirmary on the Bed)
The wrinkled, old, dusty photo was left on the bed to be founded once more by an injured. The photo was folded and on the verge of being damaged with a few fingerprints. When the wind blew so has the dust on that photo.
The photo was later revealed of a group of eleven. They seemed happy, but were wounded or a few were. Stella clanged onto Celio just like Irene. Devin was laughing and just patted Celio on the head with a patch on his eye. Aglaia standing there just smiling, watching the scene go on.
Percival was in the middle smiling with a lot of injuries out of them all, but was still smiling. Thaddea was attached to him smiling, but look closely she had a worried look in her eyes. She had a few cuts and scrapes, but nothing so serious.
Vandelia Ina was attached to a man that had a mischievous smirk. He had a few injuries as well, but when the rest of the dust blew away. The rest of them were unknown to us until later.
The caption was hard to read, but once said in clear ink, "They saved us from the terror. They were the survivors and protector of this peaceful Hill we have declared to call, Camp Half Blood, a name honored for these survivors. They were the children of the gods that had hidden among us. All Hail King Neptune!"
