Lynna and Calli led me to a cabin that has white-boards, blueprint, smart-boards-the kind that you have in schools- in it.
"That is the Athena cabin, the Hephaestus Cabin has the best armors and weapons but we have a pretty good selection too" Lynna explained and pick up a bronze breast plate and wrinkle her nose.
"Why do we need armor anyway?" Calli piped up "They told us to do whatever."
"Calli, do you really think we're going to sit back and relax?" Lynna snapped, annoyed.
Calli made a face "I was only making a joke, why are you so tense today?"
Lynna took a deep breath and seems to controlled her temper "Sorry" She muttered.
Calli sighed and motioned for us to come over.
"Dad had made around twenty instant armor bracelets why don't we go and get two for you two" She said in a low voice.
"You mean like steal?" I said, horrified that she would suggest such a thing.
"No!" Calli made a exasperated sound.
"Dad gave me seven just in case...well, for us I guess" Calli explained.
"Okay then, let's go" Lynna dashed out of the armory with the two of us following.
Amethyst
I slid a black leather bracelet with a purple, glazed bead with the symbol of Night painted on it around my wrist. The bracelet was a gift from my mother. The only connection I have to her. My dad had told me that I looked a lot like her except I had inherited his curly hair. It brought back memories that's both painful and exciting at the same time. It's the only time I had met both my parents. The Primodial one as well as mortal one...
Flashback to when Amethyst was 12 years old
A hellhound leapt out of nowhere and curled around her legs.
"Hello, who are you this time?" a young girl with black hair and pale skin tinted with purple murmured, stroking the hellhound's fur.
The girl tilted her head as the hellhound's voice spoke in her mind 'Young Mistress, I have come to take you to your father."
"My father?" The girl repeated.
"Yes, your father, now climb on" The hellhound murmured.
The girl without any hesitation clambered onto the hellhound's back.
Then everything went black. Suddenly they burst out of a wall and the hellhound disappeared. In front the girl was a man with blond curly hair.
He turned and saw the girl and frowned.
"Shadow? Why are you in the form of a twelve year old girl this time and where's Amethyst?" He snapped, irritated at the girl.
"Who's Shadow" The girl asked curiously.
The man looked startled and then his face hardened "There is no time for games, Shadow!"
The girl's face hardened too, curiousity turned into anger and annoyance.
"I'm not playing any games and I'm not Shadow!" She snapped.
"Are you sure you're not Shadw, you looked a lot like her, black hair, purple/silver eyes, purple-ish skin..." The man frowned uncertainly.
"I'm Amethyst Hellian, I'm definitely not some Shadow woman that you met and if you're done with shouting at me I need to go" Amethyst growled and place a hand on the wall, ready to shadow-travel away.
'No, stop.' A voice echoed in the abandoned neiborhood.
Then a woman riding a chariot appeared out of the shadows.
'It's been twelve years since I last visited Earth but it hasn't changed much' The woman mused.
The man froze with astonishment while Amethyst froze out of shock.
The woman was clothed in only a dark black dress mixed with color of a space nebluca. Galaxies showned on the pattern of the dress. The woman came into focus and came out of focus so she seems to be made out of smoke and ash. Her face was hard except for her eyes which was pure white and glaowed like quasars.
Even more shocking was that she has WINGS! Black wings that seem to bring out waves of darkness as it beat.
"Shadow?" The man whispered.
"Actually it's Nyx or Night" The woman replied, casually flicking her whip which was made out of stars.
"Nyx? Night? As in the Goddess of Night-Nyx, sister of Gaea, wife of Erebos?" Amethyst asked.
The man winced when Amethyst mentioned the part about being the Primordial goddess of night-it disturbs him greatly.
"Yes, my daughter" Night managed a small smile at her only half-blood child.
"Wait, you're my mother and you are my father?" Amethyst rubbed her forehead.
"Yes" Night replied while the horses pulling her chariot nickered.
"I know, Shadow and Shade, Hemera will be coming soon..." Night said to her horses.
"Wait, you named yourself Shadow after your horse?" The man remarked.
"It's the only name that popped into my mind when you saw me, Aiden" Nyx replied.
"Right, now Hemera is coming so I need to go but first I give you, a twelveth birthday present from me" Night said and snapped her fingers and a bracelet appeared on the girl's wrist.
"Also I give you my blessing" Night murmured and cracked her whip and the horses galloped away.
"A present?" Amethyst muttered.
"A bracelet? Why can't it be something useful like a sword or armor or shield?" She muttered.
"Your mother had always been mysterious and I never questioned her when she only visited me at night." Aiden Hellian murmured.
"Why is there a white star in a black moon on it?" Amethyst wondered rubbing the symbol.
"It's the symbol of Nyx, daughter" Aiden replied.
"The daughter of Night is near" They heard and Aiden's eyes widened.
"Kill her and you will be showered with prizes by the Master" A growly voice commanded.
"KILL! KILL! KILL!" A army shouted.
Amethyst looked terrified as the army marched toward them.
"Can you shadow-travel yet?" Aiden whispered to his daughter.
"Yes, but I can't do it with two people" Amethyst murured back quietly.
Aiden stared at her and then hugged her.
"Be brave and I give you my blessing. I will always be proud of you no matter what you do" Aiden whispered and then pushed her into the darkest corner where her mother disappeared.
The army adavanced and break out in battle a demigod slashed with his sword at Aiden and Amethyst screamed "NO!..."
Flashback over.
I give you my blessing...Be brave...My daughter... Words echoed in my head as the hellhounds howled.
It's been three years since that day and I have figured out the mystery of my bracelet.
Twist it once, I turn invisble, twice-a sword, three times-a bow with infinite arrows-four times a shield, five times-an armor. Yeah, it's pretty useful I guess.
I stared at my bracelet, considering each of my weapons carefully since I can only use three at a time.
I don't want to be on pegasi (they don't get along with me) so I twisted my bead five times than four times than twice. Suddenly I was armed with a shield, a set of armor, and a bronze sword with silver swirly patterns. It's hilt is black metal that fit perfectly for me. The black metal is also dotted with silver that makes it look like a night sky.
The scabboard is also painted black with silver letters that spelled out Skia meaning Shadow. Kind of ironic? I know. My mom must like the word Shadow. Her horse's name is Shadow, her mortal name is Shadow, and the sword she gave to her only half-blood child is named Σκια-Skia-Shadow.
Then I felt a nudge on my shoulder and turned to see a horse. A normal horse at Camp Half-Blood nudging you is not that surprising but when a skeleton horse with glowing red eyes nudging you almost friendly is scary.
"Hi, Shadow, how are you?" I murmured affectionately. Shadow the skeleton horse had been my companion for a long time once in a while Shade comes too.
I also have my own version of Shade and Shadow it's one of their offsprings I think, Darkness has Shadow's glowing red eyes, Shade's black mane and pelt, and their flickering bone form. The only diffrence is that she is a skeleton pegasus. She has bony black wings. Also she can sometimes breathe hellfire-VERY COOL.
"Where's Shade?" I asked, gently stroking the horse's mane.
Shadow snorted and I somehow got the impression that she was saying "With Lady Nyx, duh."
"But isn't it daytime?" I muttered confused.
Shadow gave a snort and nudged me again.
'Monsters and demons and even Lady Nyx's own children are restless, my Lady herself even seems excited or nervous so Shade is guarding Lady." Shadow replied snorting.
"Is mother okay, what's happening?" I asked worriedly.
Shadow seems to open her mouth to nicker something back again but then she seems to be choking on something.
"Shadow? Are you okay?" I asked frantically.
"I'm sorry Lady, I can't say." Shadow lowered her head and then disappeared.
"Hm...interesting, she usually tells me EVERYTHING!" I mused.
Then I charged into battle. For some reason I love to fight like the Ares kids. Standing talking and tense before a battle is not my thing.
I felt sad as I slashed and hacked away the kin of my only companions for thirteen whole years. Yep, I was raised by hellhounds too.
Then I heard someone scream at me "Look out!" and everything went black...
Nyx
"Is everything ready?" I demanded at my daughter,Akhlys, goddess of misery.
"Yes, everything is ready mother" Akhlys grinned evilly then she frowned.
"Well, except for that demigod spawn of your, darling" A smooth, cold voice said, startling me though I didn't showed it. It was a voice that I had missed for several centuries, that had been M.I.A for eight hundred years.
"Dear Erebos." I smiled coldly into the shadows.
"As lovely as ever, darling wife" A man with ebony black hair, pale skin and endless black eyes smiled thinly stepping out of the shadows.
"You haven't changed much either, 'Res" I replied "Where were you?"
"I was" Erebos frowned "Being imprisoned in the Void, very bad place for a visit actually."
"You were in the void?" I repeated.
Erebos nodded, studying the screen of the massive computer I had conjured up to show movement of the demigods, monsters, and the immortal deities.
"So, mother, the demigod spawn of yours..." Akhlys said distastefully, taking avantage of our silence.
"Don't call her demigod spawn, she's my daughter Amethyst Hellian, calll her Amethyst!" I snapped, irritated.
"My, my, protective aren't you?" Erebos purred putting his arms around my waist. pressing me against his amor-clad chest (which is a bit uncomfortable) almost...possesively, which startled me. He is not the one who openly shows affection. A kiss and a hug now and then is all I for a million years now.
Yes, I know we had two children together but that's when he openly shows affection before he disappeared into the void. Hm...I wondered what happened?
"Father?" A man clad with shining golden armor rushed in, grinning. "Yes, son?" Erebos replied, still looking at the screen intently. "The first wave is sent" Aether confirmed.
"Good, the demigods and gods will never know what hit them if my daughter gets on our side" I smiled with satisfaction.
Aether grinned a smile that would put Apollo's signature grin to shame. Why, Apollo, that stupid little piece of... 'Language, Nyx' Erebos said in my mind a bit amused, 'He dared to hit on my daughter though! I protested,
"Mother? Mother? MOTHER!" I blinked and asked "Yes?"
"Plan DA has succeeded, Amethyst Hellian will be brought here in three minutes, along with a few other demigods" A girl with blond curls, eyes that shoned like quasors that she got from me announced.
"Good, Hemera" I nodded at my daughter, primordial of the Day.
"Now Plan OD has begun" Erebos murmured in my ear,
I nodded and leaned against him staring at the screen grimly. Plan Olympian Destruction has begun...
