Percy stood up and looked around. He looked to the skies and saw a star getting bigger. Suddenly he was knocked over by a flash and slammed down. He yelped in pain as his ankle twisted.
Nico felt himself crash into another body, and when he lifted himself off the second body he couldn't help but stare at the man he was covering. The glare coming from him, Nico couldn't help but stare at. "Oh I'm sorry. I thought you may have been my mom."
Percy' glare turned angrier, "Do I look like a woman to you? Do I even look like l could possibly birth an idiot?"
Nico grinned, "No. Sorry."
Nico quickly got off Percy and looked up. "Are you alright? Do you need any help?"
Percy looked at him, "You can help by leaving me alone."
"Alright." Nico turned around and looked around. His face was a mask of confusion and worry. He thought about it for a minute. "Oh my god. Light the candle and think of me. I was thinking of her and all of a sudden Annabeth and the star popped into..."
Nico ran around looking at where he ended up. "Excuse me, Sir. This may sound strange but have you seen a fallen star anywhere?"
Percy looked at him in astonishment. "You're funny.'
"No, Really. We're in a crater. This must be where it fell."
Percy looked at him, face nearing hysterical laughter. "Yeah, this is where it fell! Or is. If you want to be really specific, up there is where this bloody stone came and knocked it out of the heavens where it was minding its own business. That silver spot is where the damn star landed. And right here is where it got hit by a magical flying nutcase!"
Percy glared at Nico, waiting for him to connect the pieces.
Nico looked at him in shock, "You're the star? Are you seriously kidding me"
Nico saw Percy glare, "Oh yeah, I play practical jokes on every nutcase I meet. Oh, you're the first. Woohoo!"
Nico moved closer to him and smiled, "May I say in advance I"m sorry?"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "For what?"
"This!" Nico tied the string around Percy hand and held the other end. "See, you're going to be an engagement gift for Annabeth, my true love."
Nico quickly moved away from Percy, not wanting to get hit.
Percy looked at him in shock. "Of Course, why didn't I see it? Nothing says ,Will you marry me? like a kidnapped injured man! Forget it. I'm not going anywhere with you, moron!"
The two boys had a tug of war. Nico wanting them to move and Percy not wanting to move at all.
At the castle, a priest came running to where Poseidon was kneeling in prayer. "My liege, you must find the necklace before your brothers do!"
Poseidon looked at him, "I know that."
"I doubt Olympus would be a much better place under your rule, sire."
"Oh really? Well, that is fascinating!" Ares walked in with the remaining brother, Hermes.
"Oh Prince Ares, Hermes! Why don't you join me in a toast?"
They smiled at him and nodded. A servant brought in four cups. The priest took one and the others took cups. The priest held up his cup, "To the new king of Olympus!"
Hermes raised an eyebrow. Suddenly the priest started choking and everyone watched as he fell over, dead. The brothers looked at each other and narrowed their eyes. Hermes shrugged, his mouth grinning. Then as Poseidon and Ares watched, Hermes fell over dead. The last of the brothers looked at each other, and raised their eyebrows. Then Ares stared at Poseidon, and fainted. Poseidon looked around seeing all his remaining brothers on the ground and looked at the crown in front of him. He picked it up, ready to put it on his head when he heard laughter and clapping. Ares got up and said, "I got you good, Posidy!"
Poseidon glared at his brother. "It's just us two left, Ares."
Ares nodded. "You know Posidy, maybe you ought to go to your chambers, and leave the quest to me."
Poseidon glared at his brother. "And why should I do that, Brother?"
Ares just looked at him, an evil grin on his face.
