Chapter 2: Knowing about our hero.
Nico's pov
(A/N Nico is gay and only Percy and Jason and Reyna know.)
It was a few days since Gaea was defeated. There were a lot of casualties from both the greek and roman sides. Even Amazons and Hunters combined lost half of their members. Currently, Thalia and Hylla along with their respective groups are residing in camp half blood along with the legion.
I decided to stay at Camp Half-blood to make sure funeral rituals were performed properly by both Greeks and Romans. And it was soo not because of an infuriating blonde son of Apollo. There was also the stunt of a certain daughter of Poseidon which made me stay back.
That stupid girl, Penelope, died or should I say almost died due to excessive use of power. She was saved by giving the physician's cure, Leo confessed to stealing it using Hazel's mastery of mist, but her life is still on a knife's edge. Will said we took too much time in giving her the cure. So nothing is sure about her right now. All the demigods, be they Greek or Roman, were unhappy with Percy's state but couldn't do anything.
As for the other members of the seven, well, Jason and Piper decided to sway between Camp Jupiter and Camp half blood. Also, Jason was pronounced Pontifex Maximus and he promised to recognize and build temples for all the gods in new Rome. Good thing. My dad would now stop grumbling about no one showing him respect even after being given a seat in the Olympic council. (A/N Ok in my story, Hades and Hestia got seats in the Council after the Titan war at Percy's request.)
Hazel, Frank and Leo were confused about Leo's undead state until they found out about Percy's contribution. Suffice it to say, they were guilty, Frank because he could not stop Penny from helping out, and Leo and Hazel because of the Physician's cure incident. These days they usually spend their time in the infirmary, checking up on Penelope's health.
Andrew... Well, I can't say much about him other than the fact that he rarely leaves his girlfriend's side other than when he is forced to. He is even more depressed these days than the time when Percy was kidnapped by Hera. Also, I kind of confessed about my crush on him and I don't have further feelings for him. It ended with awkward silence but now we are cool.
Right now, we all aka me, Will, Andrew, Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank are sitting around Poseidon's table waiting for the conch horn to blow, signalling breakfast, and discussing our next step. Ever since Percy went into a comatose state we all, along with Reyna and Thalia, sit around the Poseidon table trying to come up with some plan to help her.
Just as the conch horn blows, Thalia and Reyna ran into the dining area and take their seat. "What did we miss ?" Air-head asks. " Not much-" Jason gets cut off by a bleat.
" Anddrreeww. Oh man I heard about Percy. I can't believe she would do something so suicidal. " Grover says. We all raise our eyebrows at him. " Ok, Ok. I get it. It was typical of her. Not new, but still... " He sniffs. Thalia pats his shoulder sympathetically. "It's ok goat boy. We will make sure she survives. She cannot get rid of us that easily. Come sit with us. " "Oh no, there is a demigod, Natalia, whom Chiron asked me to show around. " He informed, waving his hand towards a young girl who looked to be around 7 or 8 years old standing next to Calypso.
Oh ya, I forgot about her. Gods, I can bet all my Drachma it was Poseidon's idea, released her after the Gaint war to help cure the injured demigods cough* Percy*cough. She and Leo started dating right away.
On noticing Grover waving her, the young girl runs towards us. As she comes closer, I notice her baby blue eyes and perfect blonde hair. She can be either a daughter of Apollo or Aphrodite.
When she notices us, she jumps with excitement, totally a child of Apollo no one can be so energetic at this time of the morning, and says " Oh my gods, You must be the seven right? I have heard so many stories about you. Like how you fought mother Earth and saved the world. I even heard how one of your members Penelope fought the titans and gods. Do you know her first monster was a Minotaur?" She rambles on confusing me and the others.
Grover opens his mouth to say something only to be cut off. " Hold on, I thought her first monster was the Gorgons ?" Hazel asks while Frank nods his head positively. " GORGONS! Seaweed brain fought Gorgons to reach camp Jupiter and she didn't even tell me?" Andrew asks worriedly. Hazel looks at me for help. I decide to change the topic.
" No, The Gorgons were not his first monster, Manticore was when she was 14. She saved me and my sister from a Manticore." Piper, Jason and Leo's eyes widen. " No-"Again goat boy gets cut off " No, her first monster was, well not a monster, but it should be Circe, the sorceress from the sea of monsters. " Reyna says. " I think you are correct. I mean she brought the fleece from there only. Right. And she was 13 when she did the trip. So technically her first monster should be from Sea of monsters" Thalia said thoughtfully. And with that, we all start arguing about who her first monster was.
"QUITE EVERYONE! What is this all fight about." Clarisse shouts. I did not notice that due to our ruckus, Clarisse, Chris and The Stoll siblings had joined our table. Leo being well Leo says"Well we were talking about who Percy's first monster was. " She rolls her eyes and says " Duh! It was Minotaur. She fought one when she was 12. Grover was with her. Andrew healed her after that particular fight."
She then turns towards Andrew and Grover and says " Or did you forget about that? " We all turn towards the duo only to find them exchanging glances. Andrew clears his throat and says " Well. Technically, Minoture was her second monster."" Her first monster was Alecto. "Grover finishes. " What she defeated a fu-kindly one." Jason's eyes widens so much they looked like saucers. " Yep. at the age of 12, without even knowing her heritage. Heck, she did not found about her father until she defeated Pasiphae's son. " Andrew finished.
Suddenly there was a bright light and the next thing I know I was freely falling along with others. " Guys, hold the person's hand next to you" Jason shouts. Two people hold my hand. I hear a sound which suspiciously seems like the sound of a hummingbird's wings. And the next moment the momentum of our fall lessens considerably. Thanks to Jason's flying and Frank's shapeshifting powers along with The Stolls' and Chris's flying shoes.
Once we landed and took out our weapons, we turn towards Hermes's sons "You have flying shoes." Leo asks. I can sense jealousy in his tone "Umm, yeah, gifts from our dad."
Someone clears his throat from our behind. We turn around to see...
