Hey guys, this chapter will mostly be other god's PoV just after the Cornucopia, so it'll be a little slow, but I think you'd like to know whats happening, I'll make sure you know which god's PoV it is, but please, enjoy, review, and just tell me where to improve, cause I actually really enjoyed writing the first chapter, so want this to be great.
Apollo's PoV
The starting cannon boomed, Apollo knew he had to get the tools he needed, he ran, whilst running he saw his sister, Artemis darting in front of him, he knew she was the fastest goddess, no one came close to her. Apollo decided to ignore her and just grab what he needed, he grabbed a bow, arrows and a bag, he then turned towards the forest and ran, he saw Artemis' back darting into the forest, he knew it was risky, but he still ran into the forest. "I've been mortal 3 times, 3, I can do this, I've done so much for half-blood masters in the past, I can win the hunger games" Apollo kept thinking this, over and over and over, the same words, he kept replaying them in his mind. Apollo decided to stop, he could tell no one was following him, he climbed up a tree and opened his bag, rummaging through it, he found a multitude of goodies. He pulled out food, plenty of food, about four liters of water, rope, tape and a sleeping bag, Apollo was taken aback about how much was stuffed into his bag, he then decided it was good, and put everything back into the bag. Apollo decided to move on, looking for some more food, he thought that can't ever have too much, he found a huge green wild apple tree, he decided to pick one, he threw it towards an animal, who ate it without hesitation, he spied the animal, for a few minutes, until it started to look a bit woozy, it then dropped, dead, with blood seeping out of it's mouth and nose, Apollo was surprised at this, but he took another three apples, he then darted off.
Poseidon's PoV
The king of the ocean was wise, he darted to the cornucopia as fast as his sea legs would carry him. He grabbed a long sword, a waterproof bag, and scuba gear, he then darted to the ocean, which is when he heard someone, Hades he thought, shout "Yes, run to the ocean you old barnacle beard!" He ignored it whilst flinging the gear on and his bag over the gear, he looked at his gauge "if I can't breath on my own, I've got 12 hours of oxygen" he thought, he ran into the ocean without putting his gear on, when is mouth and nose were under, he felt something he never felt before, he couldn't breath under water, he felt that he was actually drowning. Poseidon turned immediately, back out to waist deep water, he fitted his goggles and mask and went back under, he swam, until something caught his eye, he turned towards the cliff where he found an underwater cave, but the air was to fresh to be a submerged cave. Poseidon came to the conclusion that there was an above ground entrance, he sat down and opened his bag, on the inside, everything was dry, he was happy, there were two zips to the bag, so opening them both was something he had to do. Inside he found everything was in separate, waterproof, plastic bags. Inside was mostly food, there was also two bottles of water and a rope, and at the very bottom of the bag, he was surprised to see a blade, when he pulled it out, he was even more surprised to find it was a sharpened, dual tip dagger.
Hermes' PoV
Hermes was fast, not as fast as Artemis, but he was the second to reach the Cornucopia. He grabbed some things, a bag, a spear and a trident. He then darted to the marsh lands, where he knew he would have an advantage, being the god of transport, roads and thieves, he was familiar with this kind of terrain. He ran through the slushy shallows, where he disrupted all the frogs sitting there. He kept running until he reached the river, where there were mangroves thriving in the wetlands. He climbed up one, and perched himself on one of the low hanging branches. He then looked in his bag, and was disheartened to find that there was no water, and the water around him was not drinkable, so he decided he'd go back to the cornucopia when night fell. A few hours later and the sun started to set, Hermes made his move, he darted back towards to the cornucopia. When he got there he saw Hades running into the farmlands and Zeus appearing from behind a rock from the desert. Zeus grabbed up a bag and then darted back into the desert. Hermes waited a second, then darted back out, he went into the husk of the bronze cornucopia, where he found what he wanted, a small bag, it had two bottles of water, and pills to clean ground water, within measure of course.
Aphrodite's PoV
Aphrodite hated the fact she had to do this. She kept thinking about how it would ruin her makeup completely, she only had enough time to but on one layer of foundation before the games too, she was so upset, it didn't match her ruby red lipstick. She didn't even get to put on her blush. But she decided, there was plenty of TV time in it. She petitely ran towards the cornucopia, just close enough to reach a bag, but it wasn't just any bag, it was a hot pink one, which she thought brought out her lipstick. She then jogged into the jungle, where she could hide her makeup crisis. She then started talking to herself "Why did I agree to this, why am I here, why, I am not a fighter, I'm a beauty queen, give me makeup, not a fighter, and WHAT WILL THIS DO TO MY HAIR?" she kept going on for hours, without even checking her bag.
Hera's PoV
Hera knew she wouldn't have much chance if she didn't run to the cornucopia, so she had to. She darted to the cornucopia, grabbing a bag and a small bag that was full of knives. She then darted to the jungle, where she saw the shimmering blonde hair of Aphrodite. She thought that she had no competition in the Jungle, but she could never be sure, maybe someone else would follow them in. She ran, and ran, she heard someone screaming something about hair, she decided that Aphrodite was going to snap, so she should avoid her, she just ran, clambered up a tree and decided it was time to sleep.
Ares' PoV
Ares darted into the cornucopia, not caring about anything, he got a bag, shield and a mace, then he darted straight to the desert, he knew that he had an advantage over anyone else who was in this desert, he could stand the heat, he fought for the whole time during the hundred years war in Europe, without a break. He could stand the heat, even in this weakened, mortal, form he could, he knew he could. He decided to keep going, but he stopped running, he slowed into a speed walk. He kept going until he was sure he was alone, he put himself under the shade of a rock, where he went through his stuff, he had food, water, sleeping bag, everything he needed. He decided to rest here until nightfall where he would move into a different area, maybe the rocks near by.
Hades' PoV
Hades decided that he would not go to the cornucopia, he would instead run, he ran into the desert, he buried himself slightly in the sand, behind a rock, and he waited, until everyone was gone, Athena was the last person at the cornucopia, before she finally left for the hills, Hades then slowly stood up, dusted himself off and waltzed towards the cornucopia, where he picked up a shield, a sword, a bag of food and drink, another bag with other stuff in it, and a piece of plastic, which was for gathering rainwater. He picked his way around some stuff, when he felt like he was being watched, he looked into the desert, straight into his brother, Zeus' eyes, meeting them, he raised his lip slightly and ran, he then turned, and ran into the farmlands, knowing that Demeter was in the farmlands was not of any concern to Hades.
Demeter's PoV
Demeter was poised to run off the bat, and that she did, she ran to the cornucopia, grabbed a scythe and a bag, then she turned and darted into her homelands, the farmlands. Demeter ran, knowing she would have a huge advantage over anyone here, she used her scythe to her advantage, gathering some maize and tomatoes on her way to the river. When she reached the river she took count of what she had, which was half a dozen tomatoes, a dozen or so pieces of maize, a loaf of bread and dried fruit was also found in her bag. She also had a few lengths of rope and three rolls of duct tape. She smiled a bit, knowing that she was prepared for most cases, all she needed was a permanent supply of drinkable water.
Hephaestus' PoV
Hephaestus was happy, he managed to run to the cornucopia was well done, he managed to grab a battle hammer and a large bag. He then ran to the rocky area, where he felt the most at home, he remembered what his mother, Hera, had done to him, how she threw him of the top of Olympus, he wanted revenge, he wanted to kill his mother, his lust for her blood turned into rage, rage for Ares who stole his wife, rage for Aphrodite who ran off with Ares, rage with Zeus for making him tie up Prometheus, rage for his mother, for throwing him off the top of Olympus and the biggest rage of all was for Hades, for taking the life of all of his friends, even when he gave them immortality, he took their lives. His bloos lust needed to be filled, so he ran towards the jungle, where he saw both Hera and Aphrodite run into.
Dionysus PoV
Dionysus was scared, he wasn't a fighter, he grew grapes, but he needed to do this, he thought about how people at camp half blood, like Perry Johnson wanted him back alive, Annabelle Smith too, who was dating Perry, he knew that the young half bloods needed him back at camp, he made a huge effort, he ran into the cornucopia grabbed a sword and a large bag, then turned and followed Demeter to the farmlands, he turned and ran into the vineyards whilst she ran into the fields, he darted through vines of grapes, strawberries, and some weird looking thing growing, he kept running, when he found himself outside a small house, he decided to run the risk and go inside it, where he found that the only way in was through the front door, he decided to lock it behind him, so he was completely safe in the house, all the windows were boarded up and no one could break into it, as the house was made out of brick, on a cement foundation, he sat down at a table, and counted what he had managed to gather, he grabbed a few bunches of grapes on the way through, so he set up, he ate a couple of grapes and was comfortable. He also managed to get three bottles of water, dried fruit, rope and a sleeping bag from the cornucopia, he then looked around the house, he opened the pantry and found a can of beans, and the faucets seemed to work, but he didn't trust the water, he decided to grab a bowl from the cupboard and get some, he then smelled the water, it smelled exactly like normal water, he decided to risk it and try some, it was completely fine, he was happy, he knew he was safe.
Well, thanks for reading, sorry if this chapter was a bit boring, but I did warn you at the start, I didn't want to go to far without letting you know what the other gods were doing, cause that would make a weird story, I'll try to keep it like this for most the story, for example, filing in one god's lead up to a battle, then the god he or she is fighting's lead up, then the battle, just so you know what happened, thanks for reading, please review and tell me what to do :).
