Chapter 1
Birthday Party
(Sean)
I never wanted to be a hero or anyone with special powers or a exciting life I wanted a life that’s normal. But I always new that wasn’t my destiny my mother told me that. I’m Sean Rush and this is my story. I’m 16 and live in Arizona, my mother Kristina has raised me since my father left me when I was a baby. I never knew who he was or why he left me and mother, but I always wanted revenge on him or I resented him. That’s what my shrink says at least, oh did I forget to mention I go to a shrink every Friday after school, Great way to start the weekend, right. So right about the time when I turned 16, stuff started to be weird. I’ll start my story there I guess. It was August ninth my 16th birthday I was there with all my friends, we started the party off with swimming, I like swimming but I do like jumping in the air into the pool a lot more, then after that we ate pizza and drank Pepsi. Then Dancing we danced until like 11:30 at night until the girls went home my best guy friends stayed and chilled with me. Jason Grace he was a 11th grader, he was cool but always seemed odd, then there was Alex and Devon they were in my grade 10th. So we stayed up until 2am or so and played Halo ODST, I was killing them all, they all sucked because I was the only one with the game they all had halo 3 still. Then we Dosed off to sleep. My dream that night was very weird I was in front of this Giant white Cabin it had some weird writing on it Latin maybe, I could read it in my dream though it said B. U. N. K. E. R then write before what the Bunker number it was I was interrupted by a Wolf. It was a Reddish brown wolf looked like it wanted to eat me. Then it whispered.
“Prepare yourself, Everything is about to change. Jason will guide you through”
“ What? How in the hell can you talk to me?” the wolf turned around and started to walk away. Then out of know where it turned around so fast and snapped at me with it’s teeth right next to my face. I woke up screaming and everyone looked at me odd, except for Jason he looked like he knew what was going on.
“ Sorry sorry guys I’m okay just a bad dream” I looked at Jason when I said this with a glare like some how it was his fault and he look at me a apologize face. Odd so I went to bed and dreamed a normal dream, about girls and me with superpower. I woke up and saw that everyone but Jason and me were in the room my mother I guess went to work and Devon and the rest of the guys left early because there parents came and picked them up early. Jason was watching TV then turned to face me and said.
“morning sleepy head, how was your uh sleep” I grumbled out of my bed and yawn and responded.
“it was good after that bad dream” he looked at the TV when I said that.
“well that’s good” he fake smiled at me
“uh whatcha watching, the history channel” he smiled and looked at me.
“yea, there talking about when the Greeks were defeated by the Roman’s” he said with a huge grin. “what do you know about Roman Empire, Sean.” I thought what a odd question but okay.
“umm not that much” he looked down at me finally and said.
“Do you know of the Gods?” he said all seriously.
“uh not really I guess Neptune right and Pluto all the planets right.”
“some are names of Planets, the biggest planet it also the king of the gods”
“Jupiter? Really”
“indeed” he said then looked back at the TV. I always thought Jason was serious and weird but this was very weird so I got up and walked into my room alone. I started to get dressed for school then all of a sudden I heard Jason Scream, but like a battle cry and I heard another noise it was like a animal being killed so I hurried getting dressed and ran into the other room. I saw Jason with a golden sword fighting a dragon in my living room, he was elevating in midair and fighting the dragon. He stabbed it right in the chest and it fell down and turned into a golden dust. Jason ran to me and said.
“Hey you okay? I thought it might of hurt you, well that’s good Lupa would of killed me. He made a hand gesture where he put his hand and swiped it across his forehead. I was to in shock to speak, then like a little girl I pasted out.
Chapter 2
Mr. Browns Dog
(Sean)
When I came to I woke up in my sleeping bad and my house was back to normal and it was like nothing happened and there was Jason sitting on my couch watching, The history channel. Jason seemed like nothing happened, but that’s not possible I new it happened, Right? Yes right it happened so I pretended to not know anything.
“Hey Jason, Morning man I had the strangest dream.” he looked down and said.
“ I would imagine after last nights screams” then looked back up at the TV. He was actually trying to lie to my face about the Dragon thing breaking my house and almost killing us.
“uh right, well yea it was you and me I woke up and said to you the something and then I went to change and then a dragon attacked us and you killed it with your golden sword”. he smiled and then laughed and said
“uh a golden sword cool”
“yea, what you watching, History Channel.”
“yea, there talking about when the Greeks were defeated by the Roman’s” he said with a huge grin, this was exactly like it was before, there is no way it was a dream. I got up.
“I’m going to get dressed be right back, then we can head out for school.” I said and walked away. I actually go dressed this time, then something happened that didn’t happen last time, Devon was here. Devon stepped out of my bathroom in my room and I jumped.
“Devon, man Jason said you left already” he looked tired and out of energy.
“Naw man, I said I was going to take a shower” I looked at him, his hair wasn’t wet there was no indication that he had taken a shower. So I ignored it and got dressed and left with Jason and Devon to school. I lived two blocks from our high school, Phoenix High School was our school, the Phoenix was the mascot, we always lost our basketball games and football games, but we were good outdoors man like archers and fencing. Jason was the best at all these things. He was the best fencer and Archer and rock climber. I beat him in swim, but that’s it. We finally got to school, me and Devon went to Latin class with Mr. Brown and his pet dog that always sat in class. Jason went to gym and looked at me very worried or scared, then he left. That was weird I thought then Mr. B’s Dog barked at me and it never has before but It barked at me and then barked at Devon. I thought this Is a weird day. Then Suddenly the Dog Attacked me, I pasted out. I dreamed a Wolf and the same wolf from my dream last night. It turned into Mr. B’s dog then morphed back to the wolf. It spoke to me again. Trust your senses be good young one and trust Jason not Devon.”
“what are you taking about” I was so confused trust Jason not Devon why?
“you have to trust your sense’s you are one of the Big Three Sean” then the wolf charged towards me and tried to attack I charged instead of running away and let my instincts take over. I charge the wolf and THEN!
Chapter 3
Devon the Big Brown Furry Monster
(Sean)
I woke up to Devon leaning over me, I was in the middle of the football field now. Devon was different. Devon now had Fur like a Bigfoot creature or bear, he also had hooves instead of feet, his face was deformed now. In a dark voice he said.
“Get up Halfblood” I didn’t know what he meant by that but I complied.
“Umm Halfblood? What’s that suppose to mean” I said his face got amused.
“you don’t know HA HA” he started chuckling I interrupted his laughing.
“What don’t I know” he stopped laughing and looked at me.
“who your father is, you don’t know yet, And they thought you were a threat HA HA” I got furious, I was a threat to what I didn’t know but I’m threatening damn it.
“what are you?”
“I’m a Satyri Nesi” he said sternly
“Uh okay, what the hell is that and who am I threatening” he looked at me and got a Madding face.
“Wouldn’t you like to know, Soon Pandora will kill all of you Halfbloods.” Then suddenly he threw a punch at me I dodge rolling onto the ground and then saw a golden sword. It was Jason he busted through the door and pointed his sword at the beast. He stood still and Confident and said.
“ I am Jason Grace son of Jupiter, Prepare to be Monster Dust” Devon pulled out a branch sword, and Jason slashed at him then the monster was hit by the tip of Jason’s sword the monster was melting a gold dust, and the last words were.
“Soon The Box Shall be open” Adrenaline rush came to me I was about to tip over.
“What was That, why are you so calm and your son of Jupiter what’s that mean.” I was feeling overwhelmed, I couldn’t process it.
“That was a monster, my Father is Jupiter and because I have Trained for this” he said so seriously. “Follow me.” I followed him. “ How much do you know about Roman Mythology Sean” he asked this in my dream.
“The Roman gods like Neptune and Artemis and Juno I don’t know them all man” I complained.
“Artemis is Greek but yes Neptune, and Juno are Roman” Then it hit me, the biggest planet it also the king of the gods”
“Jupiter? Really”
“indeed” Jason and me had that conversation early he was son of Jupiter King of the Gods.
“Jupiter is Your dad? Then that means your dad’s a god” he looked at me like I just finished a giant puzzle.
“and soon we will find out who your father is but we have to go to your mother and tell her it’s time for you to go to The Eternal City”. I thought I’m not leaving my mother.
“The Eternal City? Where’s that?”
“can’t tell you yet but I can tell you this You are a Demigod, or oracle told us about you and said you will be a great hero” he grabbed my shoulder and gave me a brotherly feeling. He told me to go back home and talk to my mom about this, and said that she might know who my father is. We walked together down the block and enter my home to”.
Chapter 4
The Truth
(Sean)
I walked into my house with Jason to find my mom cooking in the kitchen. She was cooking eggs and bacon for her breakfast before work I was assuming. Jason asked my mom if there was enough for both of us and I slapped the back of his head, giving him a forget about the food, look.
“Mom, who was my father” she immediately stopped what she was doing and sat down on the kitchen table.
“Sean, your father was a great man but I don’t know where he is and who he was” the same answer as usually. But this time I wasn’t taking it.
“Mom, I know that my Father was a God” I said very quietly and lightly. Her eyes widened and she took a deep breath and said.
“How, Did you tell him Jason, Is it time?” time for what? I thought.
“Yes I told him two monster came after him today” he said like it was no big deal but my mom thought differently.
“WHAT!, when was this” my mother freaked out and stood up all dramatically. Jason told her about the Dragon and Devon. She was a little mad that Jason didn’t know about Devon sooner but Jason said he wasn’t a Protector he can’t sniff out monsters like regular Protectors which were supposed to be Fauns. When the Oracle told them that I was Special and was meant to be a Great Hero the sent the Best fighter to pick the Hero up, and that’s me.
“So why I am so Special” I said
“I don’t know, most likely you will have a quest soon or your Father could be very powerful, maybe both”
“hmm, so mom you really don’t know who my father is” she turned away and walked into the other room she said just a minute. She came back with a picture of me and my father and my mother I was a baby it was right after my birth. And in her other hand was a Coin with Latin on it, “Greatest Hero” it said with a Face on it and the other side a Man and his son with a lighting bolt down the middle. Jason looked at the picture more then the coin he look at the coin and quickly looked away, I think he knows something he doesn’t want to tell me.
“Sean this is a Picture of your father” she said lightly like she hoped this day wouldn’t come. The guy was tall, handsome, had a beard and a serious face. He was smiling and holding me happily, like he won the lottery.
“ I don’t know what his god name is but his name here on earth was Julius” my mother said.
“hmm, okay so when do I get to go to The Eternal City, Jason”.
“I’m not sure I guess I’ll be right back”
(Jason)
I walked away from Sean and his mother to Iris message Lupa and tell her to go the Wolf house to test Sean. I pulled out a printed picture of a Rainbow and tossed the drachma toward it and said.
“Lupa, The Eternal City” I waited patiently and saw the image appear and there Lupa was.
“Child what is it, is the package ready for delivery” she joked
“Yes Lupa, I’ll bring him to the wolf house right away”
“you have done well child, Bring him immediately, I will be waiting.” the image disappeared.
(Sean)
When Jason left my mother spoke.
“Sean, I know what happens next, you will be tested to see if you are strong” her face full of concern. I hugged her.
“I will make it mom and will be back here visiting, ill show you mom” I smiled, she fake smiled back at me and said
“Sean, your father gave this to me for you, it’s a powerful weapon he said and perfect for you” she pointed the coin and I thought what are you talking about it’s a coin. Jason came back into the room and said.
“We have to go, It’s time Tina” he said to my mom. She hugged me reassure and said
“Remember what I told you, trust your instincts.” and with that we Left and took Jason’s car and headed North.
Three hours later and we were pulling into a park walking up to a Huge Mansion, with a gateway in front that said in Latin “Wolf House”. I walked into the House and was ready for my test.
Chapter 5
The Test
(Sean)
“Go in” Jason ordered with a very serious face, the most serious I’ve seen yet.
I walked into the Wolf House alone feeling confident and concerned. The first thing I saw what a picture of a Wolf with two baby’s sucking on the Wolf’s nipples. Weird was the first thing that came to mind. The a Growl came from nowhere I looked around looked up the stairs nothing so I walked around. I saw another statue of a goddess naked with a bow and arrow it was bronze and very well done. Then another Growl I followed It to another room where there was a Wolf, not a Wolf Statue a Wolf. The wolf was staring at me and growling silently.
“Child, Who am I” I immediately thought you’re the wolf that scared the crap out of me in my dreams. Then it came to me, Lupa the statue over there feeding the baby’s.
“Lupa” I said as confident as ever.
“hmm, interesting many don’t know of my name, impressive child but are you as strong as smart”
“Yes Lupa” I said with a military attitude I felt ready for my test, at least I thought I did.
“Goood, you will have three test here, Child. Test one face a easy monster alone” then in the corner of my eye I saw a door open. I saw a Lion with super sharp teeth and way bigger then a actually lion. So I pulled out my coin and flipped it. Then there was a Golden sword in midair, I caught it and waited. The lion came out and growled then spat out fire. Lupa then shouted “Fight!”. The Beast charge as soon as Lupa barked out her Order. I ran towards the Lion thing and it began. I ran towards the beast it shot fire right at me. I ran and slid right under the fire and was directly under the beast. I stabbed the beast right under it and ripped out it’s heart. The monster turned to dust.
“AHH! What’s next Lupa” I showed off the heart and smiled arrogantly. Lupa smiled in a amused way.
“the next Test child is going to be much of a challenge but I think only you can handle it” uh oh I thought. “send out the Hippoi Diomedios”. I knew what that was I learned it in mythology class. Four man-eating horses owned by the Thracian King Diomedes. Heracles was sent to fetch them as one of his twelve labors to the gods. I waited for it to appear. Then it came out and it looked mad it look at like a fat kid does with cake. Lupa Barked again “FIGHT!” it started again. I charged the beast, the horse flew up and shot back down towards me and kicked me right in the gut. I thought my rib was broke. I still charged it, it came down for another kick but I grabbed the leg as soon as it shot toward me. I climbed the top and screamed.
“FOR ROMA!!!” I stabbed the horse and it screamed in pain and fell to the ground and I fell with it. I fell right on the rib that was most likely broken and it hurt really bad. Lupa Growled, I thought she was saying stop whinnying baby.
“get up Child, one last test” I stood up strong.
“lets do this” I said weakly
“very well, your last test is me, you must defeat me.” she smiled amused
“Very well lets begin” I tried to sound confident but I was wounded and tired, there was no way I could win this.
“FIGHT!” she ran towards me and tackled me to the ground she tried to bit me but I punch her right in the snout, she whined in pain. I slashed at her but she jumped up and clawed my left she with three little cuts bleeding from my face.
“come on, hero haha” she was toying with me. But I heard a man’s voice in my head
“Sean, you must stab not slash son” I listened to my father and tricked Lupa. She came at me and I faked a slash and stabbed her right in her side. She whined again and then tackled me and bit my right hand, I dropped my sword.
“you are very strong, Son of the Elder three for certain, you are welcome into my army Child Haha” she got off me.” Come Jason will be happy you passed.
“where are we going, Lupa” I said very weakly.
“to the City of course you passed you are worthy” we walked out side and I saw Jason there sitting down waiting for Lupa and I.
“Jason, grab on we shall go to the city through me” he groaned and said
“what about the car Lupa” she smirked
“ I said grab on Jason, you to child” then we twisted through time and space and we were in front of a Giant Gateway. On top it said in Latin “The Eternal City” through the gateway was many children younger the oldest one I saw was about my age 16, 17. I saw 14 bunkers and a The Colosseum and a Leaning Tower of Pisa and much more I was excited to see it all.
Chapter 6
The Eternal City
(Sean)
When I first arrived at the City I thought it was cool. Jason showed me around he showed me the Rock Climbing wall that randomly shots arrows at you and spikes shoot out of the walls, it was sweet. Then there was the Arena, it was a exact replica of The Colosseum in Italy. Then there was a Mercury Store and Leaning Tower of Pisa like in Italy, that was the eating lounge I guess. Then Jason shoed me the 14 Bunkers, they were all colored and decorated differently and in a giant U shape. Jason said the 12 Olympians and 2 minor god bunkers one for girl, one for boys.
“Which one is mine man?” I said with excitement.
“Sorry man I’m not sure who your dad is but you can stay in my cabin if you like there’s lots of room, Bunker 1” he pointed towards his bunker. It was a huge temple it had a eagle in the dead center of the top. It was white and gold and Enormous, I’m sure there was room for me.
“Thanks man, so when do I find out who my daddy is?” I said Jokingly and then the sky Rumbled.
“Sorry dad, don’t joke around with the gods man they get mad sometimes” Jason said.
“oh my bad, so umm anyways, when do I get to know who my father is?”
“I would guess tonight around the camp fire man, if not soon”
“okay sweet, so can I put my stuff in your cabin now or later” he looked down and grabbed one of my bags for me and said.
“come on man lets go” he smiled and walked towards Bunker one, I followed. We walked up the stairs and into the bunker and first thing I saw was a statue of a man with a eagle on him it was also gold and white, It was cool looking. Two hours later. It was dinner time now and getting dark we walked up into the cafeteria (which was Leaning Tower of Pisa) and saw that it was Pizza night, SWEET!.
Chapter 7
Hazel
(Sean)
Jason and I were in line for the Pizza, then I saw her. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She had black hair, golden eyes and cute innocent face. Her eyes color would freak most out but I thought It was hot, she was in the other line for a salad, I wonder who she is. Jason saw me staring.
“that’s Hazel” He said amused at my staring.
“Ohhh, Hazel, Daughter of mmmmmmm…..”
“Daughter of Nox Goddess of the night” he said laughing as if I didn’t have a chance.
“why Is that funny” he smiled, then walked forward and grabbed his Pizza.
“Because Nyx girls rarely date, they like bad boys not umm preps, haha” I was angry but he was just busting my chain.
“we will see about that” I walked over to her, she looked at me like I was crazy.
“hi may I umm join you” I smiled, she smiled back and looked at her friends, her friends nodded in sync.
“sure why not, you are?”
“I’m Sean, nice to meet you
“I’m Hazel, Daughter of Nyx, you new here?”
“yea I umm don’t know who my dad is yet”
“oh so it’s your dad that’s the god, well do you like swimming?” she seemed interested I wondered why Jason laughed at the idea.
“umm yes I do, do you?”
“no no I’m not small talking I’m trying to figure out your God parent”
“oh umm okay then Swimming who’s that god”
“Neptune so not him, uh Flying sound cool”
“umm yes but I don’t see what that has to do with anything”
“Jupiter lord of the sky, Zombies cool?” she was trying desperately.
“Uh Lupa said I most be a child of the Elder Three, soooo” everyone Gasped.
“What, I was joking around with my friends you’re a child of the Elder three, Which one.”
“I Don’t know, Jason said I most likely will get claimed tonight at the camp fire.” the looked at Jason alone at Table one.
“hmm, maybe Jason knows” she was playing the idea with herself.
“no Jason came and got me out of school and brought me here, he’s my friend he would tell me” she seemed doubtful. But then they talked about troubling news.
“did you guys hear about Gwen, she went on the quest anyway” one of Hazels sisters said.
“what quest and who’s Gwen” they all looked at me like I was a ass for interrupting but Hazel looked at me with a gleaming eye.
“he’s curious is that a bad thing, Sean Gwen is daughter of Minerva goddess of Wisdom she snuck out of camp and went on a quest when Lupa said no to her” I thought not smart to get on Lupa’s bad side. “her boyfriend Bobby went with Reyna and she got jealous and left with them” she looked sad that her friends were gone. I didn’t really know this girl but I didn’t like seeing her upset.
“hey I’m going to talk to Jason and ill see you later at the Camp fire tonight” I could of swore I saw her eyes light up at the word “Night” in tonight. I walked over to Jason and sat down.
“So how’d it go” holding in a laugh
“it was great, I made a new Friend” he looked at me like I was crazy.
“well I never really talked to her, she always talked to my Gwen though, maybe she’s not so bad, I shouldn’t of judged sorry” he looked like he was seriously sorry so I didn’t nudge it.
“so when’s this campfire going to start” then we heard a Conch horn.
“right now come on lets see if we can figure out who you are” he smiled and we left the Pisa. We went out side first thing I see is ton of kids around this Giant fire pit and laughing and dancing to music, the guys playing the music were Fauns with pipes and drums like the ones on the discovery channel that old of Drums. Then Lupa came out.
“HEROS!” Everyone immediately shut up and listened. “I have a surprise for you tonight, we will have Capture the Flag tomorrow and for tonight entertainment we have Sean” everyone looked around and was wondering who I was. “SEAN COME!!!” I walked up to Lupa and then random people started shouting “Whos He?” “Whos Cabin does he Belong to?” Then Lupa gained back Control. “QUEIT!!!!, …. Sean here is a new camper, he has initiation tonight” she smiled. “in the Arena and we all will watch, I’m sure you love watching initiation since we all have went through it.” everyone Cheered and lifted me up into the crowd I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad initiation process.
Chapter 8
SPQR
(Sean)
The Crowd carried me to The Colosseum for my initiation. Jason was in the back of the group and he wasn’t smiling he was emotionless, face of stone. I was scared looking at Jason that way.
“It will be Okay I promise” Jason mouthed at me. So I knew it was bad now I had to fight a bad monster I was guessing but what did I know. Then I noticed something on all of them, it was a Tattoo “SPQR” I had no idea what I meant, but I was guessing it was a honor code or something. Jason had “SPQR” and a eagle and lines below the eagle and letters. Lupa leaded me into the middle of the Arena and everyone was Cheering and Yelling.
“Child, You most Fight our 14 Praetors and last for 3 minutes without dying” I Flipped my Coin and turned it to a sword.
“BRING IT ON” I Shouted
“They Shall bring it” Lupa said amused of my slang. Then out of Nowhere I saw a 14 kids running towards me, including Jason.
“Jason, wait I can’t fight you” he swung at me with his sword, I deflect it.
“Sorry Sean, the only way I can help is if you were in my Cabin and well no one ever is” he said sadly I seemed like he wanted a brother or another sibling.
“I’m sleeping in you cabin does that count.” I joked. He slashed at me, I rolled over and got back up and then this bald dude tried to stab me and I deflected it and elbowed him in the face, he fell down unconscious. Then a girl lunged at me and I jumped over her sword and kicked her in the stomach, she fell over and I kicked her sword away. Right when I kicked her sword away from her, Jason Kicked me and I fell down. I slashed at him and he jumped over my sword and landed on it. He picked me up and then something Crazy happened. Lighting struck down on me and Jason and we both Flew. I landed on the dirt and I saw my sword was gone, it must of took flight when the lighting struck. I got up and ran and took that sword I kicked from the girl earlier. I charged Jason who was perfectly fine from the strike, DUH dad’s Jupiter. Then I got tackled by someone, Hazel she was smiling and tried to stab me.
“Hey, Sean sorry about trying to kill you and all.” she stabbed at me again. Man is she hott. Even when she was trying to kill me I still was attracted to her. Jason pointed his sword to my throat.
“GAME SET SEAN HAS WON” Lupa looked at me with worry and left immediately.
Chapter 9
The Campfire
(Sean)
After I won the game, Jason came up to me and shook my hand.
“good job man not a lot of people can defend themselves and take offence without any training, sorry about your sword though.”. I forgot, my sword when lighting hit Jason and I it blast it and surd through the sky and was gone. I was walking out of the Arena, but I wasn’t done yet. I saw Lupa and Jason and some other guy holding wood and Jason holding a metal brand pole, Uh oh.
“Boy you are now one of us and get the Brand of the Roman’s, it truly is a Honor.” I pretend to be excited but I knew this was going to hurt like hell. I got on my knees and was getting ready for my burn. Jason was holding the pole next to the fire the just started. Then Jason was done he took it out of the fire.
“Sean, we mark thee a Brave a Powerful Warrior.” he pressed the pole against my shoulder and I screamed in pain. It was the most painful thing I ever went through.
“The Eternal City TAKES THEE!!!” Jason shouted and stopped pressing the pole to my skin. I looked at my shoulder I had the SPQR as the rest of them.
“Senatus Populusque Romanus” Jason shouted, and the crowd went crazy cheering. Lupa walked away and went to her Bunker I think. I got up and put my hands and the air and screamed in joy. I walked out of the Arena with Jason and went his Bunker and got ready for the fire. After I got dressed me and Jason went to the fire. I back there and there was Hazel that one guy that was holding the sticks, Lupa and Jason and I. most people went to bed. The fire was dying down and it was late.
“Hey, congrats on the victory” hazel said
“thanks for almost killing me” I said jokingly
“well I guess it is getting late, I guess we won’t know who dad is today” I was disappointed that my father still hasn’t claimed me, but he’s a god he must be busy.
“yea, I sure soon though” Hazel said very hopeful
“yea well I guess it’ll happen soon”
“yea sorry about your sword, it was cool”
“yea it was pretty cool, my dad gave it to my mom to give to me when I was ready, I’m sure going to miss it”
Then all of a sudden a lighting bolt shout down from the sky and into the fire pit. In the pit now was a letter and my Sword on top of the letter. The letter was a gold letter with a Lighting bolt stamp on it. Jason standing in shock, Hazel in a gaze as well, Lupa looked up to the sky and nodded whatever that meant. I walked up to my sword and grabbed it. The electrify from the sword went through my veins and surged around my body. I then picked up the letter and opened it.
“Do not lose this again my Son, Good luck on your quest and Be careful, P.S tell your brother Jason that I love him as well as yourself” is what the letter said. Jason is my brother?, my father is Jupiter? I handed the letter to Jason and stood still in shock. Jason handed the letter to Lupa and she spoke.
“Hail Sean, Child of Roma, Son of the King Jupiter” Lupa kneeled and so did everyone else in the area.
Chapter 10
Capture the Flag
(Sean)
A wave of Emotions came over me with this news. Jason was my brother, it was cool and weird. I have powers, well it’s cool but with great power comes great responsibility. Jason came over to me in shock still.
“Sean, were brothers” he hugged me. “that’s sweet man, good thing we packed you into our Bunker” it sounded weird for him to say “our Bunker”.
“Yea, right” still in shock. Me and him went to our Bunker and I dropped on my pillow and fell asleep right away. But my dream wasn’t exactly peaceful either. I was in this temple very old maybe 14th century or so not sure but there was a black box dead center and on a white column podium. I stood there just staring at the Black box with very weird writing at the side. I slowly creeped up to the box to get a better look at it, I was interrupted. When I was walking to the box a woman walked into the room. She was wearing a black dress and was pale blonde woman, maybe 58 in height.
“Very good Sean now just open the box” she said with a very convincing voice.
“what’s in it” she looked at me sweetly, trying to sway me into her biding.
“no one knows” she turned around and walked away. “Oooooppppennn Ittt” she said and walked away. I felt this urge to open it up that’s when my dream cut off. I woke up felling drained and in pain, most likely because I fought all day yesterday. I woke up seeing Jason kneeling and speaking to the statue of our father. He stood up and noticed I had woke up.
“hey bro, ha bro, but good morning” I think he was really happy to have a brother in this big cabin.
“hey man bro, haha what we doing today man” he smiled at bro.
“Capture the Flag since there’s two Jupiter kids now our team will win” I wondered what teams were.
“so umm who V.S who” he looked down
“our alliance is Jupiter, Mercury, Apollo, Vulcan, Hecate, then the opposing teams are Bacchus, Venus, Mars, Minerva, and the rest of the Minor Gods.” so I had to fight Hazel, man I wanted to be not trying to kill her.
“Sean your going to need a shield, come on lets head over to Vulcan’s Bunker and see what they got for you” I got up and got dressed and followed Jason to this Bunker made out of complete metal, it was Badass. They had a giant table out for people to stock up on there weapons. Jason went up to this kid, he was small had black hair and looked Polish Irish, he had Blonde hair and Justin Bieber face.
“Hey Scotty, you got something for my brother Sean, Were looking for a shield.
“Hey I’m Scotty, nice to meet you Sean, I think I can help you out” he seemed cool.
“Thanks man, I ah appreciate it” I could see myself being friends with this guy. Scotty and Jason and I followed him into this Metal shed next to the Bunker. He came out with this Beautiful Gold shield, it was Epic.
“This is a Golden shield forged a couple years ago, I think it would fit nice for you.” he handed it to me. I took it and It fit perfect and the weight wasn’t to much either. I shook Scotty’s hand.
“thanks man this will come in handy for today I think.” I smiled and so did he, we stopped shaking hands.
“Yea, Jason and I have been waiting for a win, Minerva always have plans and I’m sick of it, we need to win” I nodded in agreement
“Well I think that me and Jason can bust some heads and clear a path for someone to grab the flag and run like hell.”
“Good idea, we will bring it up at the meeting In 30 minutes, see you there Scotty” Jason said and we left.
“there’s a meeting in 30 minutes, who’s in charge of this meeting”
“Well me, it’s in our Cabin the Dinning room is where we have them” that’s why the dinning room table was enormous. “Oldest child of the most Powerful God and that’s me, but anyway lets go to Hecate’s Bunker and see if Jimmy can get that shield into a tattoo or something.” What is he talking about turning my Epic shield into a tattoo. We walked over to a Bunker that was plain no decorations or anything, guess that’s because it was the minor gods cabin.
“Hey Jimmy what’s up man” Jason and Jimmy hugged
“not much bro what can I do for you and ahh Sean right”
“Right” I nodded
“Well Sean here is my little bro and I was wondering if you could do a little magic for us and turn this shield into a object like our Coins” Jimmy nodded like no big deal.
“I got something better then a coin, I think ill turn it into a ring, put your shield here man: I put it on the table and he waved his hands around it and it turn into a small golden ring, I slipped it on and it fit perfect like magic, Ha like magic.
“ clench you fist and it should pop out” I did as he said and it worked my Epic shield was out and I un clenched my fist and it went away.
“Sweet man thanks” I hugged Jimmy.
“Have a good one Jimmy see ya in 10 Right?”
“Yea man I’ll be there” we walked away and entered our cabin and set up chairs for our meeting in now 5 minutes, Then people started arriving. First one here was a girl she had Blonde hair like the sun and her name was Dakota, Daughter of Apollo Jason told me. Then the next was bald dude from last night Son of Mercury and his name was Tommy. The next was Jimmy from Hecate Bunker. The last one was Scotty from the Vulcan Bunker. We then began the Assembly.
“This meeting is now assembled, now Praetors we can begin” Jason said with leadership in his tone of voice. “this is Sean Son of Jupiter and my Right hand man” some looked stunned at this news.
“Hello, I have a idea to pass through you guys” I said looked and Jason and he nodded for encouragement. “so me and Jason run in and bash heads straight for the flag” the looked at me like I was cocky. “while we distract them we have the Mercury guys come in from the sides and get the flag, while the Apollo people are in the back firing arrows at the enemy, while Vulcan you set up traps with Hecate and Hecate disguises the traps with some illusion magic, Do you think it will work” I was finished, and felt confident that they would agree with the plan. Everyone looked around and at each other.
“I think this plan is Worthy of Minerva herself” Dakota said
“so it is agreed” Jason said
“Agreed” they all said in unison.
“Great, meeting augured” they all left and prepared for the plan. Jason turned to me.
“Great job man, where did you pull that plan out of your head”
“I don’t know I’m smart to a point man”
We got our armor on and left our Bunker and Prepared for battle.
Chapter 11
Blitzkrieg CTF
(Sean)
After me and Jason were ready we headed outside. We saw both teams in front of Lupa who was on a stump in front of the woods. I was on the Red team and the Blue team was all dressed in blue and looked confident, to bad they aren’t prepared for me. Our team looked like weren’t that confident and was wearing all red and one of the Apollo girls had our flags and it looked like a Venus girl had there flag. our teams Trivia and Vulcan were already doing the traps for the game, it looked like a couple of people were gone on the other team to. Lupa Growled and got all of our attentions.
“Legions, huddle in” we all came in closer and listened to Lupa.
“The Rules as always are this, NO RULES!, all magic, all weapons, anything you got use it.” so I could use my powers, how do I do that again. I turned to Jason. He looked so excited and confident or cocky I didn’t know. I decide to not ask how to use my powers, ill figure it out on my own.
“PREPARE FOR BATTLE”
“RUN!” Jason ordered. Both teams ran in different directions of the woods, to our bases.
“3” as I was running I heard Lupa still growling out orders.
“2”
“come on Sean” Jason said while running in front of me
“1” we arrived at the base as she said it.
“BATTLE!!!” And that was it all hell broke lose. Me and Jason Charged in with full might I clenched my fist and my shield turned on. Let me describe the coming out feature. The shield first wraps itself around my arm perfectly and so I can’t drop it then the whole shield raptly turns itself into a shield like a clock telling time but super fast. Anyway back to the fight. Me and Jason ran toward the enemy. The front line was the Mars kids, for you that don’t know Mars is god of war so a great front line. Jason shot lighting out of the sky right into his Golden sword and shot it right at the enemy.
“Hey, that’s not fair” one of the Mars kids yelled.
“Nothings fair in war, get used to it” Jason sneered back
While Jason was shooting lighting I was charging and slicing the enemy up. I ran into this girl first she had black hair a gold breast plate armor and a gold helmet with a blue horse hair on top. She came at me with full force and stabbed at me I counter it and stomped on her foot and elbowed her in the gut she fell down on the ground and kicked her sword away from her. Then I ran towards the second line. Jason took all the other Mars kids when I was focused on that one. The next look like random minor gods, the boys. I prayed to my father.
“Father please show me the way”
“Focus all your energy on this one blast and it will happen my son” a voice in my head responded. I did so, I focused all my energy on this one blast, unfortunately that didn’t exactly happen. I shot 6 shots of lighting I shot them at the base at the 4th 3rd and 2nd line of the enemy and the enemy literal flew out of there. I fell to my news and felt completely drained of energy and relised why Jason didn’t shot lighting that often. I didn’t black out yet but I couldn’t fight. Then I saw someone get off the ground and charge at me, it was Hazel. That was the last image I saw before I blacked out.
(Jason)
While I was fighting Some Son of Bacchus out of nowhere 6 or 7 lighting strikes happened at once all across the enemy lines. Then I saw Sean fall on his knees and almost black out. How in the hell could he do that and not black out I tried to do three and I blacked right away. I started to run over to him then I saw Hazel run at him. I charged and while charging I saw Sean pass out, Hazel stopped and dropped her sword she wasn’t charging to strike she was charging to help, odd. She lifted up his head and started to carry him to the enemy base, I interfered.
“Give me my brother” Hazel stopped
“No were keeping him captive” she dropped him and grabbed her sword.
“You can’t be serious, you fighting me your no match” then arrows shot at me and she picked up Sean and ran towards her base, damn it I lost my brother in two days im a crappy big brother.
Chapter 11
Captive
(Sean)
I woke up in a wooden Bunker with Hazel and two other girls Guarding the exits. I looked around seeing no other exits so I pretend to be still asleep.
“Wow you could have expect another son of Jupiter and right when Bobby and Reyna and Gwen and went on a quest and are missing and stuff, weird.” the girl said to Hazel
“Shelby, your right I don’t know why I think this but, I think he might be the one” Hazel said glumly. What do you mean the one I’m 16 and not ready for true love stuff, then It came to me she meant it like someone that’s important not about love at all. I checked for my coin in my pocket and it wasn’t there. I looked around and finally BING GO there it was on the table next to Shelby. My ring shield was still on me so I was preparing to lunge then something stopped me. I saw the Flag literally right next to me was the blue teams flag. I had to think of something, then it came to me activate my shield then take out the guards before the call a single saying to the other team “hey badass is awake” so I had to be like a ninja. I slowly sat up and creped up on the guard that wasn’t talking and was guarding the back exit. She had black hair and a gothic look to her and had red eyes ,creepy. I unleashed my shield and knocked her out with it. I took her sword and started to do the same with the other guards. Then my brain said to me, “why don’t you take the flag and run out the back exit” not a bad thought but there’s a problem I need my sword which was right next to Hazel. So I creped up on Shelby and did the same thing knocked her out and Hazel sprinted for the alarm, I jumped and tackled her.
“you know your really beautiful” I said with a cute smile, she didn’t exactly have the same feelings, she smiled and then quickly got back focused.
“Get off, Please” she was trying to trick me I new it, like Jason said “Wars not fair, get used to it” advice from my big bro. I got off her and bear hugged her and put her in the prison bars in the back and ran and got my sword and ran back to her.
“Sorry I just want my bro’s team to win for once” I admitted “ I could care less but I want to show everyone here that I’m a threat not a wimp” she looked at me admirably and smiled.
“Well go” she smiled and I took the flag and ran off. I saw two girls with the red flag as I had the blue flag, they were smiling until the saw me. I sprinted towards my side and saw my brother fighting two big ass guys. I came in and knocked them out with my shield from behind.
“thanks bro, you got the flag great lets go” he smiling and ran with me, I saw Jimmy hippie dancing around in the middle of the field with some Vulcan guys. I ran to Jimmy and the guys.
“Jimmy, take the flag run to our base as fast as you can, Apollo should back you up, me and Jason need to get our flag back.” Jason nodded and we ran back towards their wooden base. I saw the red flag in a girl with blonde hair and grey eyes she was smiling and I think she said
“I told you my plan would work, it always does” but I was only reading her mouth I couldn’t be sure.
“Sean, I’m going to charge in while you get the flag from the back entrance Kay” I nodded and we charged. I let Jason distract then I moved in so they wouldn’t notice me coming in. I saw a 12 year old dude with buck teeth and dirty blonde hair guarding so I naturally charged in feeling all badassness and such. I climbed on top of the bunker and dived down and sneaked attacked the boy, he nearly pee his pants haha. I slowly walked in.
“What did you think you do Jason take us all and get the flag, haha” the blonde girl said
“Hey I can take you anyway smarts” she smiled and it was sort of a couple bickering not a war fight. I creeped from the corner and smiled at Jason, I held up a finger count down 3, 2, 1 and I clenched my fist. The sad thing about that was my shield came out and hit me in the face. I shook it off and grabbed the flag and ran for my life, when running out I heard Jason.
“RUN I GOT THIS” so I listened and ran for it. I saw arrows shooting at me but I high tailed out of there. I saw my team cheering when the saw me I guess they haven’t won in two years. This was a sweet victory. I saw Jimmy still with our flag and hippie dancing around it. I saw Scotty high fiveing his fellow Vulcan peps. Dakota was injured and was being attended to by her fellow Apollo people but she seemed happy. Then I saw Jason run up to me.
“WOOOOO!!! After two long YEARS!!! HAHA, Sean you did it” I smiled and hugged my bro.
“NAW MAN WE DID IT” I yell at our team and they picked me up in glory and carried me back to the city.
TEMPLUM
Chapter 12
PARTY!!!
(Sean)
After the victory our blue team had a party in the Jupiter Bunker it was the nicest and most biggest it made sense to have it at our Bunker. The red team was invited to come of course. Jason and I got offers to join our alliance against Minerva for the next CTF game. Nox, and other minor gods not like Mars or Olympian Gods. Jason and I told them later we shall discus the matter, I felt cool talking like that haha. WE had dancing in the living room, we had our training room as the fighting space, figures. The kitchen held all the food, and me and Jason’s rooms OFF LIMITS, but not for long. I saw Hazel there in the living room dancing to “Party in the USA, Miley Cyrus” I’ve heard of her but never really liked her. I went over and started dancing with her then the song shifted as soon as we started dancing together. The song change into the slow song by Aerosmith “I don’t wanna miss a thing” so naturally I am a credible dancer, not I sucked I started to walk away, But hazel was the leader in this fight, she grabbed my arms and put them around her waist.
“What, your not afraid of arrows and swords but girls” she teased. So with that I stayed with Hazel. I decide to move my hands my on her back right above her butt instead of the hips. She blushed and smiled as we danced. It was cool I liked Hazel a lot and I could see us going somewhere but not now not the second day of me being at this uh Camp I guess that’s what you call it. I Stared at her Tattoo it had half of the moon and the SPQR logo below it, but she was different it wasn’t on her shoulder it was on her back right below the shoulder, she noticed me looking.
“it’s on my back because I don’t like to remember” I think I knew what she meant the pain was so unbearable when you get the Tattoo. But here I quickly understood the weak aren’t here all of these people are strong. The song ended and we just stood there awkwardly.
“Soooo, umm I’ll be right back” I said very awkwardly, I was nervous give me a break.
“Okay hurry up though” I went up to my room to think this over. Do I really want to have a Girlfriend and have all this already. I was never really into dating and girls at school I would joke around with my friends and take girls to dances but that’s about it. I was lying in my bed when I heard someone walking up stairs which of course was our only rule for people not to do. So I walked out side of my door and there stood a figure a dark figure. It came at me like a hawk and a mouse and tackled me into my bed I reached in my pocket For (GH) but no luck it was on my night stand and my Ring was with Jimmy to fix it after I hit myself in the face. The dark figure was a girl with black hair but I couldn’t see her face I could just tell it was a girl and black hair was falling from the sides of her robe.
“Who are you, What do you want” I said with shaky but Angry voice
“I am The Oracle I need to see you alone.”
“Why did you tackle me, then why not tell me we need to talk like civil people” I said pissed off and very aggressive.
“I see you and another boy being important in a War against the Lord of Time” WHAT! The lord of time and some chick with a black box.
“WHAT!”
“You and your friends here have a Great Role to play I don’t know what it is but I had to come tell you I don’t know what it means I just get random vibes at times you see” she got off of me and I jump and got my coin and flipped it and this time it was a spear not a sword, CRAP.
“I shall see you after this Party, I will tell you everything I know, Agreed?”
“Yes but-
“No buts after this party come to the cave Next to Neptune’s Bunker under the waterfall and we shall discuss this matter” she walked out and left our Bunker. I went down stairs and trying to find Hazel. I Finally found her, IN MY ROOM! She was talking to a girl with brown hair and was so beautiful.
“Reyna, what’s going on over there” Hazel said. Wait this was one of those campers that went on the quest or whatever.
“Gwen and Bobby are gone I don’t know where they are, I thought they might of gone back to camp”
“No word here since Gwen left to come along, Lupa is Pissed about that By the way”
“Figures”
“Well you get back here and, and well I think there’s this new boy here and he’s so CUTE!” I blushed
“is that so who’s he son of Venus or something”
“NO, he’s son of Jupiter”
“WHAT NO WAY”
“Yea and he’s very cute and sweet and funny and Strong”
“Wow your acting like a total Venus”
“Shut up” she blushed
“Well I go to go good luck on that and tell Lupa everything I told you and well I’m on my way too” she sounded and looked mad when she new she had to come back. I saw her getting up but this was my opportunity to get her not as a girlfriend but we could go on dates and see what happens, Right. She was facing the opposite sight of the door so I ran in and took my blankets and hid myself. I grabbed her
“GET OFF”
“Wait” I said in a deeper voice
“Sean?” Damn it failed. But I said screw it and kissed her she kissed me back but she was in shock, SWEET I PUT GIRL IN SHOCK WITH MY KISSING HAHA!!!
Chapter 13
Peruses? Peruses Who?
(Sean)
“What was that” Hazel said in shock
“A felling, I can see you didn’t mind” she blushed then punched my arm
“what was that for”
“For scarying me”
“You were in my room without my permission”
“Well I was curious on what the top floor looked like then ahh umm”
“then Reyna called you or hologram you I should say well what was that”
“Iris message, the goddess of Rainbows send messages for gods and demigods”
“Ooohh Kaaayy” I said like really how werid does this Demigod thing get, I had know idea.
“So should we go down stairs” she asked like she didn’t want to, but I had to go meet with the oracle, Hazel looked at me like she new I wasn’t excited for something.
“What’s wrong” she asked me
“I have to go meet with the oracle”
“WAIT, What”
“What’s the Problem”
“well umm nothing just that why do you say that” I told what happened in my room before we kissed.
“Oh I see” like it was a bad thing
“What?”
“Well it’s just the oracle refused to give Bobby and Reyna a prophecy why you”
“I don’t know but I have to find out” she looked curious and concered
“Okay well just come talk to me after, Promise?” man I hate Promises
“Promise” I said and walked out. I followed the Oracles directions next to the Neptune Bunker and under the waterfall is a cave. I entered the cave and saw candles all around and a bed and purple cloth all around the cave walls.
“Welcome Hero” she said very creepy like
“Hi, so um whats this all about” I sounded weak, not good
“ I have for seen you and another”
“Another?” her eyes began to glow gold like the sun and she spoke like three girls at once
“Yes, Persues and Sean the great Heroes of the gods, they shall over come and Defeat the lord of Times forces” Man this is creep I wanted to leave but I had to be strong and get used to this sort of thing.
“The lord of time?”
“He who is Father to all Gods”
“The Titan King?”
“Yesssss” she said like a snake and her eyes had turn from gold to green to back to normal. She fell.
“ What was that?”
“that wasn’t a Prophecy that was vibe or a feeling or the future just in rymes” she explained
“well who’s Percues”
“I don’t know but it doesn’t matter he shall play his role you play yours and this Lord of Time shall fall I know it” she said like a build up to a basketball game.
“Well what is my Prophecy, what is my Quest” Her eyes turned green again then she took a deep breath and spoke.
“Son of the Sky beware of Hope
The messager’s son will have the boar and the thief
The sun shall light and the doorway will be shown
Arriving in the City with despair and hope”
“Well that sounds Peachy, beware of hope seriously”
“You have heard enough go”
“But wait-”
“NO, Go NOW” she stumbled over like she was out of breath but I left. As soon as I exited the cave Lupa was waiting for me.
“Woah!, hi Lupa how are you”
“Sean, liking it here so far”
“Yes, very much so”
“So, what was the Prophecy and when are you leaving” I told Lupa the Prophecy.
“but I don’t know when I’m leaving” she nodded.
“You leave Wenesday”
“Okay three days”
“And you must pick your two Allies for this quest”
“What do you mean”
“ you must be accomibed by at least two Campers, I recommed a Apollo Son or Daughter”
“Why”
“ the sun shall light and the doorway will be shown, The Sun”
“Oh Duh” I hit myself in the head. “Well I take Dakota and umm”
“Chose wisely”
“I chose Hazel”
“very well, let them know and report back to me in the morning for now go back to your Bunker and rest, tomorrow we have Legion training, very difficult for a New Solider” she smiled with all her super sharp teeth showing.
“Okay then, Good night” I went to my Bunker and went to sleep, sadly I had my worst dream yet.
I was in a moutain and I saw a guy that was bald and a girl that had blonde hair tied up together on the floor and a blonde hair teenager holding a sword that looked very evil or wrong not natural.
“let us go” the bald dude said like he had the situation under control.
“NO, you will pledge your alligence to Kronos”
“WHY, WHY US” the girl screamed
“You are halfbloods with swords and training very worthy of being in the Army of Time”
“What are you talking about”
“You two need too join Kronos he will kill the gods and take everything back from those greedy punks”
“How Dare you, how can you betray your own parent” the girl said like she was disgusted.
“HE DOESN”T LOVE ME, HE NEVER CARED, SO HE WILL PAY”
“who’s your dad” the bald kid said still like he was in charge
“HERMES that DISGRASS OF A MAN!!!” he looked like he was going to cry but then he slowly cut the dudes arm, ouch! My dreamed ended with Jason waking me up.
“Dude we got Legion Trianing come on”
“Alright just a sec” Who the hell were those kids and who was that blonde teenage boy.
Chapter 14
Legion Training
(Sean)
I went off with Jason were we went into the Arena.
“Go see Lupa, she will assign you a Legion”
“Alright, what Legion are you in”
“Legion one, I’m kind of the Praetor”
“what is that? And what are we training for”
“Well that means like General or Leader, I’m the Praetor to all Demigods”
“Hmm cool but what are we training for”
“Well, really self defense to protect ourselves from monsters and stuff”
“There’s not a war going on or anything right?” he looked at me like I was crazy or like what the hell are you smoking dude?
“Umm no, there’s no war going on” Lupa walked over to us.
“Umm, see ya you’ll do great bro” he ran over to his Legion
“Sean, I will put you in the ring to see how strong you are”
“Umm what do I do exactly”
“You will fight every Praetor until you lose, and when you lose the person you were defeated by you will be in his or her Legion, Understand”
“Yea I guess so how many Legions are there”
“10, One for each Bunker, including the Fauns Place”
“So whos Legion number 10” she Growled and then everyone lined up and held up there flags that had there legion number on it. I saw 10 and walked over to them.
“Heroes!, Sean needs a Legion so he will face Every Praetor until he loses lowest to highest Legion, Understand”
“YES,SIR!” All the campers said in unison. I pulled out GH and flipped it and it was a sword, Sweet. The Faun was the first I was facing he looked like Devon but less big and didn’t look at me like he was going to kill me. He ran at me and I did something that shocked everyone. I Lighting Strike him and he fell right away and pasted out. Doing one lighting strike didn’t really drain me.
“NEXT!” Lupa Screamed and this girl came out and had a bow and arrow.
“Fight!” Lupa Barked and she pulled out her arrows and started shooting. I fell down and rolled and then I thought of something, Jason could fly he could control winds maybe I can make the arrows go off track. I swerved my hands like I was Anag in Avatar air bender. I Did it I swerved my hand and made the arrow circle around and hit her right in her chest and she fell down and I ran and put my sword to her throat.
“NEXT” a guy came out brown hair and buck teeth and had a sword
“Fight!” We ran at each other and I decide to actually fight without powers. I slashed at him and he deflected he stabbed I stepped back and slammed my foot on his foot and elbowed him in the face he fell over and I put my sword on his throat.
“NEXT” another boy came out I new who he was though it was jimmy, he had nothing in his hand.
“FIGHT” I ran at him with my sword and he spoke in Latin and something tripped me. I fell and the grass was wrapping around me.
“CRAP” I screamed and jimmy start to speak more and It was wrapping around my other leg and growing faster. I had no other option I used Lighting to kill the planets and attack Jimmy. I did so and it worked I ran up to Jimmy Pushed him down and put my sword up to his throat.
“NEXT” Some guy I haven’t seen around the city step forward, he had grape vines around him like his amour was made out of vines.
“FIGHT” He ran at me when I just stood there waiting, honestly I was getting cocky. He was now 2 feet away and last second I side stepped and elbowed him right in the kidney he fell I pointed my sword at him I thought I won, he hit my sword away with his and rolled away. I controlled the winds and made myself elevate in midair about 2 feet off the ground and I flew at him, he ran away and I hit him on the head with the butt of my sword. He fell and I picked him and he was out cold.
“Bring him to the Infirmary, NEXT” it was the one girl guard that kept me captive during CTF.
“FIGHT” she charge at me and I followed she stopped in mid sprint and slid under me and cut my leg. I staggered and still charged. She stood there confident. Last second between us she stepped forward right under my legs and hit me in the Groan, Damn that hurt even with a cup on. I charged her again and waited for her to do the same type of move. She did it she slid under me again with incredible speed and I did something different when she slid I Pushed the wind against her and slammed her into the wall on the other side.
“YEA!!!” I screamed. She got up and put her hands up, she surrendered
“NEXT, Sean this is very impressive.” Lupa said
“Thanks” I saw this Girl stepped forward.
“We surrender” she said and stepped back
“very well Next” I saw Scotty step forward with a grin and had a Hammer in his hand.
“FIGHT” He ran at me with his hammer
“TEMPLUM!” he screamed I don’t know how I new but he said “Open” in Latin. I saw his hammer that was a regular sized hammer turn into a gold sledge hammer with a sword handle, Ah Crap. He charged at me and sung for my knees and I jumped up and flew in the air. I flew at him with full force and speed of the wind. It failed. He swung and hit me right in the stomach I fell down and lost my power. I slowly staggered up and he was pointing his sword at me, I lost.
“AHHH” I shot down TWO Lighting Bolts at him one at his hammer since it was gold it will do double the effect and one at him. HE FLEW at the wall knocking him out and almost me. I have been using to much power.
“Wow, very Good, NEXT UP I think is
“Legion 4” Dakota said and walked forward, Damn it I know she might when this
“FIGHT” she pulled out her bow and arrows and started shooting. She actually hit me right above my tattoo, flesh wound. I was now angry, I charged anyway with a hold in my arm and raised my arm up and it hurt so much but I swung. It was pathetic she dodged and kicked me in the side.
“Come on, Get up” she teased
“AHH!” I screamed and unleased the wind, she jumped in the air and jumped and tried to avoid it but you can’t avoid the wind. She slammed onto the ground next to me and quickly rolled back onto her stomach and started to get up, but I was standing above her pointing GH at her.
“Match”she said sadly
“NEXT” Lupa said a girl came out she had brown hair super long and had a electric spear, doesn’t hurt me I can take lighting, BAM!
“FIGHT” she ran at me and did something I didn’t expect she stabbed her spear into the ground and cabulted herself at me and kicked me into the chest. I fell over and groaned, she pulled out a dagger and came at me. She tried to grab me from behind and put the dagger to my throat but I rolled away quickly.
“STOP MOVING”she complained. I came around and stabbed at her. She defeclted and stumbled back. I took it as a advantage and overwhelmed her with so much offence, she fell over and I pointed my sword at her throat.
“NEXT” Shelby walked forward
“My mother is goddess of Wisdom I know hundreds of ways to kill you Son of Jupiter”
“Well pull em out” I smiled
“I shall”
“FIGHT” she walked towards me and I did the thing that would most likely hurt me, I shot lighting at her. I shot it down and fell down to my knees. I don’t know how but she knew it was coming and rolled away at the perfect moment and kicked me in my stomach and I fell down so tired I couldn’t fight I was Done.
“DONE” Lupa barked and she walked over to me. “Shelby take him to the infirmary he has done well for today he needs rest.” she nodded and pulled me up and dragged me to the Infirmary.
“Well done by the way” she said randomly
“Thanks”
“I’m proud for you to be apart of the Second Legion”
“Why is the Minerva Bunker the 2nd Legion shouldn’t be Juno”
“Juno doesn’t have any kids and neither does Diana and Neptune and Pluto, so we don’t count them”
“ oh that that makes since” I said I was falling asleep or dying
“You, okay?”
“Yessss…..” I blacked out

I never wanted to be a hero or anyone with special powers or a exciting life I wanted a life that’s normal. But I always new that wasn’t my destiny my mother told me that. I’m Sean Rush and this is my story. I’m 16 and live in Arizona, my mother Kristina has raised me since my father left me when I was a baby. I never knew who he was or why he left me and mother, but I always wanted revenge on him or I resented him. That’s what my shrink says at least, oh did I forget to mention I go to a shrink every Friday after school, Great way to start the weekend, right. So right about the time when I turned 16, stuff started to be weird. I’ll start my story there I guess. It was August ninth my 16th birthday I was there with all my friends, we started the party off with swimming, I like swimming but I do like jumping in the air into the pool a lot more, then after that we ate pizza and drank Pepsi. Then Dancing we danced until like 11:30 at night until the girls went home my best guy friends stayed and chilled with me. Jason Grace he was a 11th grader, he was cool but always seemed odd, then there was Alex and Devon they were in my grade 10th. So we stayed up until 2am or so and played Halo ODST, I was killing them all, they all sucked because I was the only one with the game they all had halo 3 still. Then we Dosed off to sleep. My dream that night was very weird I was in front of this Giant white Cabin it had some weird writing on it Latin maybe, I could read it in my dream though it said B. U. N. K. E. R then write before what the Bunker number it was I was interrupted by a Wolf. It was a Reddish brown wolf looked like it wanted to eat me. Then it whispered.
“Prepare yourself, Everything is about to change. Jason will guide you through”
“ What? How in the hell can you talk to me?” the wolf turned around and started to walk away. Then out of know where it turned around so fast and snapped at me with it’s teeth right next to my face. I woke up screaming and everyone looked at me odd, except for Jason he looked like he knew what was going on.
“ Sorry sorry guys I’m okay just a bad dream” I looked at Jason when I said this with a glare like some how it was his fault and he look at me a apologize face. Odd so I went to bed and dreamed a normal dream, about girls and me with superpower. I woke up and saw that everyone but Jason and me were in the room my mother I guess went to work and Devon and the rest of the guys left early because there parents came and picked them up early. Jason was watching TV then turned to face me and said.
“morning sleepy head, how was your uh sleep” I grumbled out of my bed and yawn and responded.
“it was good after that bad dream” he looked at the TV when I said that.
“well that’s good” he fake smiled at me
“uh whatcha watching, the history channel” he smiled and looked at me.
“yea, there talking about when the Greeks were defeated by the Roman’s” he said with a huge grin. “what do you know about Roman Empire, Sean.” I thought what a odd question but okay.
“umm not that much” he looked down at me finally and said.
“Do you know of the Gods?” he said all seriously.
“uh not really I guess Neptune right and Pluto all the planets right.”
“some are names of Planets, the biggest planet it also the king of the gods”
“Jupiter? Really”
“indeed” he said then looked back at the TV. I always thought Jason was serious and weird but this was very weird so I got up and walked into my room alone. I started to get dressed for school then all of a sudden I heard Jason Scream, but like a battle cry and I heard another noise it was like a animal being killed so I hurried getting dressed and ran into the other room. I saw Jason with a golden sword fighting a dragon in my living room, he was elevating in midair and fighting the dragon. He stabbed it right in the chest and it fell down and turned into a golden dust. Jason ran to me and said.
“Hey you okay? I thought it might of hurt you, well that’s good Lupa would of killed me. He made a hand gesture where he put his hand and swiped it across his forehead. I was to in shock to speak, then like a little girl I pasted out.
Chapter 2
Mr. Browns Dog
(Sean)
When I came to I woke up in my sleeping bad and my house was back to normal and it was like nothing happened and there was Jason sitting on my couch watching, The history channel. Jason seemed like nothing happened, but that’s not possible I new it happened, Right? Yes right it happened so I pretended to not know anything.
“Hey Jason, Morning man I had the strangest dream.” he looked down and said.
“ I would imagine after last nights screams” then looked back up at the TV. He was actually trying to lie to my face about the Dragon thing breaking my house and almost killing us.
“uh right, well yea it was you and me I woke up and said to you the something and then I went to change and then a dragon attacked us and you killed it with your golden sword”. he smiled and then laughed and said
“uh a golden sword cool”
“yea, what you watching, History Channel.”
“yea, there talking about when the Greeks were defeated by the Roman’s” he said with a huge grin, this was exactly like it was before, there is no way it was a dream. I got up.
“I’m going to get dressed be right back, then we can head out for school.” I said and walked away. I actually go dressed this time, then something happened that didn’t happen last time, Devon was here. Devon stepped out of my bathroom in my room and I jumped.
“Devon, man Jason said you left already” he looked tired and out of energy.
“Naw man, I said I was going to take a shower” I looked at him, his hair wasn’t wet there was no indication that he had taken a shower. So I ignored it and got dressed and left with Jason and Devon to school. I lived two blocks from our high school, Phoenix High School was our school, the Phoenix was the mascot, we always lost our basketball games and football games, but we were good outdoors man like archers and fencing. Jason was the best at all these things. He was the best fencer and Archer and rock climber. I beat him in swim, but that’s it. We finally got to school, me and Devon went to Latin class with Mr. Brown and his pet dog that always sat in class. Jason went to gym and looked at me very worried or scared, then he left. That was weird I thought then Mr. B’s Dog barked at me and it never has before but It barked at me and then barked at Devon. I thought this Is a weird day. Then Suddenly the Dog Attacked me, I pasted out. I dreamed a Wolf and the same wolf from my dream last night. It turned into Mr. B’s dog then morphed back to the wolf. It spoke to me again. Trust your senses be good young one and trust Jason not Devon.”
“what are you taking about” I was so confused trust Jason not Devon why?
“you have to trust your sense’s you are one of the Big Three Sean” then the wolf charged towards me and tried to attack I charged instead of running away and let my instincts take over. I charge the wolf and THEN!
Chapter 3
Devon the Big Brown Furry Monster
(Sean)
I woke up to Devon leaning over me, I was in the middle of the football field now. Devon was different. Devon now had Fur like a Bigfoot creature or bear, he also had hooves instead of feet, his face was deformed now. In a dark voice he said.
“Get up Halfblood” I didn’t know what he meant by that but I complied.
“Umm Halfblood? What’s that suppose to mean” I said his face got amused.
“you don’t know HA HA” he started chuckling I interrupted his laughing.
“What don’t I know” he stopped laughing and looked at me.
“who your father is, you don’t know yet, And they thought you were a threat HA HA” I got furious, I was a threat to what I didn’t know but I’m threatening damn it.
“what are you?”
“I’m a Satyri Nesi” he said sternly
“Uh okay, what the hell is that and who am I threatening” he looked at me and got a Madding face.
“Wouldn’t you like to know, Soon Pandora will kill all of you Halfbloods.” Then suddenly he threw a punch at me I dodge rolling onto the ground and then saw a golden sword. It was Jason he busted through the door and pointed his sword at the beast. He stood still and Confident and said.
“ I am Jason Grace son of Jupiter, Prepare to be Monster Dust” Devon pulled out a branch sword, and Jason slashed at him then the monster was hit by the tip of Jason’s sword the monster was melting a gold dust, and the last words were.
“Soon The Box Shall be open” Adrenaline rush came to me I was about to tip over.
“What was That, why are you so calm and your son of Jupiter what’s that mean.” I was feeling overwhelmed, I couldn’t process it.
“That was a monster, my Father is Jupiter and because I have Trained for this” he said so seriously. “Follow me.” I followed him. “ How much do you know about Roman Mythology Sean” he asked this in my dream.
“The Roman gods like Neptune and Artemis and Juno I don’t know them all man” I complained.
“Artemis is Greek but yes Neptune, and Juno are Roman” Then it hit me, the biggest planet it also the king of the gods”
“Jupiter? Really”
“indeed” Jason and me had that conversation early he was son of Jupiter King of the Gods.
“Jupiter is Your dad? Then that means your dad’s a god” he looked at me like I just finished a giant puzzle.
“and soon we will find out who your father is but we have to go to your mother and tell her it’s time for you to go to The Eternal City”. I thought I’m not leaving my mother.
“The Eternal City? Where’s that?”
“can’t tell you yet but I can tell you this You are a Demigod, or oracle told us about you and said you will be a great hero” he grabbed my shoulder and gave me a brotherly feeling. He told me to go back home and talk to my mom about this, and said that she might know who my father is. We walked together down the block and enter my home to”.
Chapter 4
The Truth
(Sean)
I walked into my house with Jason to find my mom cooking in the kitchen. She was cooking eggs and bacon for her breakfast before work I was assuming. Jason asked my mom if there was enough for both of us and I slapped the back of his head, giving him a forget about the food, look.
“Mom, who was my father” she immediately stopped what she was doing and sat down on the kitchen table.
“Sean, your father was a great man but I don’t know where he is and who he was” the same answer as usually. But this time I wasn’t taking it.
“Mom, I know that my Father was a God” I said very quietly and lightly. Her eyes widened and she took a deep breath and said.
“How, Did you tell him Jason, Is it time?” time for what? I thought.
“Yes I told him two monster came after him today” he said like it was no big deal but my mom thought differently.
“WHAT!, when was this” my mother freaked out and stood up all dramatically. Jason told her about the Dragon and Devon. She was a little mad that Jason didn’t know about Devon sooner but Jason said he wasn’t a Protector he can’t sniff out monsters like regular Protectors which were supposed to be Fauns. When the Oracle told them that I was Special and was meant to be a Great Hero the sent the Best fighter to pick the Hero up, and that’s me.
“So why I am so Special” I said
“I don’t know, most likely you will have a quest soon or your Father could be very powerful, maybe both”
“hmm, so mom you really don’t know who my father is” she turned away and walked into the other room she said just a minute. She came back with a picture of me and my father and my mother I was a baby it was right after my birth. And in her other hand was a Coin with Latin on it, “Greatest Hero” it said with a Face on it and the other side a Man and his son with a lighting bolt down the middle. Jason looked at the picture more then the coin he look at the coin and quickly looked away, I think he knows something he doesn’t want to tell me.
“Sean this is a Picture of your father” she said lightly like she hoped this day wouldn’t come. The guy was tall, handsome, had a beard and a serious face. He was smiling and holding me happily, like he won the lottery.
“ I don’t know what his god name is but his name here on earth was Julius” my mother said.
“hmm, okay so when do I get to go to The Eternal City, Jason”.
“I’m not sure I guess I’ll be right back”
(Jason)
I walked away from Sean and his mother to Iris message Lupa and tell her to go the Wolf house to test Sean. I pulled out a printed picture of a Rainbow and tossed the drachma toward it and said.
“Lupa, The Eternal City” I waited patiently and saw the image appear and there Lupa was.
“Child what is it, is the package ready for delivery” she joked
“Yes Lupa, I’ll bring him to the wolf house right away”
“you have done well child, Bring him immediately, I will be waiting.” the image disappeared.
(Sean)
When Jason left my mother spoke.
“Sean, I know what happens next, you will be tested to see if you are strong” her face full of concern. I hugged her.
“I will make it mom and will be back here visiting, ill show you mom” I smiled, she fake smiled back at me and said
“Sean, your father gave this to me for you, it’s a powerful weapon he said and perfect for you” she pointed the coin and I thought what are you talking about it’s a coin. Jason came back into the room and said.
“We have to go, It’s time Tina” he said to my mom. She hugged me reassure and said
“Remember what I told you, trust your instincts.” and with that we Left and took Jason’s car and headed North.
Three hours later and we were pulling into a park walking up to a Huge Mansion, with a gateway in front that said in Latin “Wolf House”. I walked into the House and was ready for my test.
Chapter 5
The Test
(Sean)
“Go in” Jason ordered with a very serious face, the most serious I’ve seen yet.
I walked into the Wolf House alone feeling confident and concerned. The first thing I saw what a picture of a Wolf with two baby’s sucking on the Wolf’s nipples. Weird was the first thing that came to mind. The a Growl came from nowhere I looked around looked up the stairs nothing so I walked around. I saw another statue of a goddess naked with a bow and arrow it was bronze and very well done. Then another Growl I followed It to another room where there was a Wolf, not a Wolf Statue a Wolf. The wolf was staring at me and growling silently.
“Child, Who am I” I immediately thought you’re the wolf that scared the crap out of me in my dreams. Then it came to me, Lupa the statue over there feeding the baby’s.
“Lupa” I said as confident as ever.
“hmm, interesting many don’t know of my name, impressive child but are you as strong as smart”
“Yes Lupa” I said with a military attitude I felt ready for my test, at least I thought I did.
“Goood, you will have three test here, Child. Test one face a easy monster alone” then in the corner of my eye I saw a door open. I saw a Lion with super sharp teeth and way bigger then a actually lion. So I pulled out my coin and flipped it. Then there was a Golden sword in midair, I caught it and waited. The lion came out and growled then spat out fire. Lupa then shouted “Fight!”. The Beast charge as soon as Lupa barked out her Order. I ran towards the Lion thing and it began. I ran towards the beast it shot fire right at me. I ran and slid right under the fire and was directly under the beast. I stabbed the beast right under it and ripped out it’s heart. The monster turned to dust.
“AHH! What’s next Lupa” I showed off the heart and smiled arrogantly. Lupa smiled in a amused way.
“the next Test child is going to be much of a challenge but I think only you can handle it” uh oh I thought. “send out the Hippoi Diomedios”. I knew what that was I learned it in mythology class. Four man-eating horses owned by the Thracian King Diomedes. Heracles was sent to fetch them as one of his twelve labors to the gods. I waited for it to appear. Then it came out and it looked mad it look at like a fat kid does with cake. Lupa Barked again “FIGHT!” it started again. I charged the beast, the horse flew up and shot back down towards me and kicked me right in the gut. I thought my rib was broke. I still charged it, it came down for another kick but I grabbed the leg as soon as it shot toward me. I climbed the top and screamed.
“FOR ROMA!!!” I stabbed the horse and it screamed in pain and fell to the ground and I fell with it. I fell right on the rib that was most likely broken and it hurt really bad. Lupa Growled, I thought she was saying stop whinnying baby.
“get up Child, one last test” I stood up strong.
“lets do this” I said weakly
“very well, your last test is me, you must defeat me.” she smiled amused
“Very well lets begin” I tried to sound confident but I was wounded and tired, there was no way I could win this.
“FIGHT!” she ran towards me and tackled me to the ground she tried to bit me but I punch her right in the snout, she whined in pain. I slashed at her but she jumped up and clawed my left she with three little cuts bleeding from my face.
“come on, hero haha” she was toying with me. But I heard a man’s voice in my head
“Sean, you must stab not slash son” I listened to my father and tricked Lupa. She came at me and I faked a slash and stabbed her right in her side. She whined again and then tackled me and bit my right hand, I dropped my sword.
“you are very strong, Son of the Elder three for certain, you are welcome into my army Child Haha” she got off me.” Come Jason will be happy you passed.
“where are we going, Lupa” I said very weakly.
“to the City of course you passed you are worthy” we walked out side and I saw Jason there sitting down waiting for Lupa and I.
“Jason, grab on we shall go to the city through me” he groaned and said
“what about the car Lupa” she smirked
“ I said grab on Jason, you to child” then we twisted through time and space and we were in front of a Giant Gateway. On top it said in Latin “The Eternal City” through the gateway was many children younger the oldest one I saw was about my age 16, 17. I saw 14 bunkers and a The Colosseum and a Leaning Tower of Pisa and much more I was excited to see it all.
Chapter 6
The Eternal City
(Sean)
When I first arrived at the City I thought it was cool. Jason showed me around he showed me the Rock Climbing wall that randomly shots arrows at you and spikes shoot out of the walls, it was sweet. Then there was the Arena, it was a exact replica of The Colosseum in Italy. Then there was a Mercury Store and Leaning Tower of Pisa like in Italy, that was the eating lounge I guess. Then Jason shoed me the 14 Bunkers, they were all colored and decorated differently and in a giant U shape. Jason said the 12 Olympians and 2 minor god bunkers one for girl, one for boys.
“Which one is mine man?” I said with excitement.
“Sorry man I’m not sure who your dad is but you can stay in my cabin if you like there’s lots of room, Bunker 1” he pointed towards his bunker. It was a huge temple it had a eagle in the dead center of the top. It was white and gold and Enormous, I’m sure there was room for me.
“Thanks man, so when do I find out who my daddy is?” I said Jokingly and then the sky Rumbled.
“Sorry dad, don’t joke around with the gods man they get mad sometimes” Jason said.
“oh my bad, so umm anyways, when do I get to know who my father is?”
“I would guess tonight around the camp fire man, if not soon”
“okay sweet, so can I put my stuff in your cabin now or later” he looked down and grabbed one of my bags for me and said.
“come on man lets go” he smiled and walked towards Bunker one, I followed. We walked up the stairs and into the bunker and first thing I saw was a statue of a man with a eagle on him it was also gold and white, It was cool looking. Two hours later. It was dinner time now and getting dark we walked up into the cafeteria (which was Leaning Tower of Pisa) and saw that it was Pizza night, SWEET!.
Chapter 7
Hazel
(Sean)
Jason and I were in line for the Pizza, then I saw her. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She had black hair, golden eyes and cute innocent face. Her eyes color would freak most out but I thought It was hot, she was in the other line for a salad, I wonder who she is. Jason saw me staring.
“that’s Hazel” He said amused at my staring.
“Ohhh, Hazel, Daughter of mmmmmmm…..”
“Daughter of Nox Goddess of the night” he said laughing as if I didn’t have a chance.
“why Is that funny” he smiled, then walked forward and grabbed his Pizza.
“Because Nyx girls rarely date, they like bad boys not umm preps, haha” I was angry but he was just busting my chain.
“we will see about that” I walked over to her, she looked at me like I was crazy.
“hi may I umm join you” I smiled, she smiled back and looked at her friends, her friends nodded in sync.
“sure why not, you are?”
“I’m Sean, nice to meet you
“I’m Hazel, Daughter of Nyx, you new here?”
“yea I umm don’t know who my dad is yet”
“oh so it’s your dad that’s the god, well do you like swimming?” she seemed interested I wondered why Jason laughed at the idea.
“umm yes I do, do you?”
“no no I’m not small talking I’m trying to figure out your God parent”
“oh umm okay then Swimming who’s that god”
“Neptune so not him, uh Flying sound cool”
“umm yes but I don’t see what that has to do with anything”
“Jupiter lord of the sky, Zombies cool?” she was trying desperately.
“Uh Lupa said I most be a child of the Elder Three, soooo” everyone Gasped.
“What, I was joking around with my friends you’re a child of the Elder three, Which one.”
“I Don’t know, Jason said I most likely will get claimed tonight at the camp fire.” the looked at Jason alone at Table one.
“hmm, maybe Jason knows” she was playing the idea with herself.
“no Jason came and got me out of school and brought me here, he’s my friend he would tell me” she seemed doubtful. But then they talked about troubling news.
“did you guys hear about Gwen, she went on the quest anyway” one of Hazels sisters said.
“what quest and who’s Gwen” they all looked at me like I was a ass for interrupting but Hazel looked at me with a gleaming eye.
“he’s curious is that a bad thing, Sean Gwen is daughter of Minerva goddess of Wisdom she snuck out of camp and went on a quest when Lupa said no to her” I thought not smart to get on Lupa’s bad side. “her boyfriend Bobby went with Reyna and she got jealous and left with them” she looked sad that her friends were gone. I didn’t really know this girl but I didn’t like seeing her upset.
“hey I’m going to talk to Jason and ill see you later at the Camp fire tonight” I could of swore I saw her eyes light up at the word “Night” in tonight. I walked over to Jason and sat down.
“So how’d it go” holding in a laugh
“it was great, I made a new Friend” he looked at me like I was crazy.
“well I never really talked to her, she always talked to my Gwen though, maybe she’s not so bad, I shouldn’t of judged sorry” he looked like he was seriously sorry so I didn’t nudge it.
“so when’s this campfire going to start” then we heard a Conch horn.
“right now come on lets see if we can figure out who you are” he smiled and we left the Pisa. We went out side first thing I see is ton of kids around this Giant fire pit and laughing and dancing to music, the guys playing the music were Fauns with pipes and drums like the ones on the discovery channel that old of Drums. Then Lupa came out.
“HEROS!” Everyone immediately shut up and listened. “I have a surprise for you tonight, we will have Capture the Flag tomorrow and for tonight entertainment we have Sean” everyone looked around and was wondering who I was. “SEAN COME!!!” I walked up to Lupa and then random people started shouting “Whos He?” “Whos Cabin does he Belong to?” Then Lupa gained back Control. “QUEIT!!!!, …. Sean here is a new camper, he has initiation tonight” she smiled. “in the Arena and we all will watch, I’m sure you love watching initiation since we all have went through it.” everyone Cheered and lifted me up into the crowd I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad initiation process.
Chapter 8
SPQR
(Sean)
The Crowd carried me to The Colosseum for my initiation. Jason was in the back of the group and he wasn’t smiling he was emotionless, face of stone. I was scared looking at Jason that way.
“It will be Okay I promise” Jason mouthed at me. So I knew it was bad now I had to fight a bad monster I was guessing but what did I know. Then I noticed something on all of them, it was a Tattoo “SPQR” I had no idea what I meant, but I was guessing it was a honor code or something. Jason had “SPQR” and a eagle and lines below the eagle and letters. Lupa leaded me into the middle of the Arena and everyone was Cheering and Yelling.
“Child, You most Fight our 14 Praetors and last for 3 minutes without dying” I Flipped my Coin and turned it to a sword.
“BRING IT ON” I Shouted
“They Shall bring it” Lupa said amused of my slang. Then out of Nowhere I saw a 14 kids running towards me, including Jason.
“Jason, wait I can’t fight you” he swung at me with his sword, I deflect it.
“Sorry Sean, the only way I can help is if you were in my Cabin and well no one ever is” he said sadly I seemed like he wanted a brother or another sibling.
“I’m sleeping in you cabin does that count.” I joked. He slashed at me, I rolled over and got back up and then this bald dude tried to stab me and I deflected it and elbowed him in the face, he fell down unconscious. Then a girl lunged at me and I jumped over her sword and kicked her in the stomach, she fell over and I kicked her sword away. Right when I kicked her sword away from her, Jason Kicked me and I fell down. I slashed at him and he jumped over my sword and landed on it. He picked me up and then something Crazy happened. Lighting struck down on me and Jason and we both Flew. I landed on the dirt and I saw my sword was gone, it must of took flight when the lighting struck. I got up and ran and took that sword I kicked from the girl earlier. I charged Jason who was perfectly fine from the strike, DUH dad’s Jupiter. Then I got tackled by someone, Hazel she was smiling and tried to stab me.
“Hey, Sean sorry about trying to kill you and all.” she stabbed at me again. Man is she hott. Even when she was trying to kill me I still was attracted to her. Jason pointed his sword to my throat.
“GAME SET SEAN HAS WON” Lupa looked at me with worry and left immediately.
Chapter 9
The Campfire
(Sean)
After I won the game, Jason came up to me and shook my hand.
“good job man not a lot of people can defend themselves and take offence without any training, sorry about your sword though.”. I forgot, my sword when lighting hit Jason and I it blast it and surd through the sky and was gone. I was walking out of the Arena, but I wasn’t done yet. I saw Lupa and Jason and some other guy holding wood and Jason holding a metal brand pole, Uh oh.
“Boy you are now one of us and get the Brand of the Roman’s, it truly is a Honor.” I pretend to be excited but I knew this was going to hurt like hell. I got on my knees and was getting ready for my burn. Jason was holding the pole next to the fire the just started. Then Jason was done he took it out of the fire.
“Sean, we mark thee a Brave a Powerful Warrior.” he pressed the pole against my shoulder and I screamed in pain. It was the most painful thing I ever went through.
“The Eternal City TAKES THEE!!!” Jason shouted and stopped pressing the pole to my skin. I looked at my shoulder I had the SPQR as the rest of them.
“Senatus Populusque Romanus” Jason shouted, and the crowd went crazy cheering. Lupa walked away and went to her Bunker I think. I got up and put my hands and the air and screamed in joy. I walked out of the Arena with Jason and went his Bunker and got ready for the fire. After I got dressed me and Jason went to the fire. I back there and there was Hazel that one guy that was holding the sticks, Lupa and Jason and I. most people went to bed. The fire was dying down and it was late.
“Hey, congrats on the victory” hazel said
“thanks for almost killing me” I said jokingly
“well I guess it is getting late, I guess we won’t know who dad is today” I was disappointed that my father still hasn’t claimed me, but he’s a god he must be busy.
“yea, I sure soon though” Hazel said very hopeful
“yea well I guess it’ll happen soon”
“yea sorry about your sword, it was cool”
“yea it was pretty cool, my dad gave it to my mom to give to me when I was ready, I’m sure going to miss it”
Then all of a sudden a lighting bolt shout down from the sky and into the fire pit. In the pit now was a letter and my Sword on top of the letter. The letter was a gold letter with a Lighting bolt stamp on it. Jason standing in shock, Hazel in a gaze as well, Lupa looked up to the sky and nodded whatever that meant. I walked up to my sword and grabbed it. The electrify from the sword went through my veins and surged around my body. I then picked up the letter and opened it.
“Do not lose this again my Son, Good luck on your quest and Be careful, P.S tell your brother Jason that I love him as well as yourself” is what the letter said. Jason is my brother?, my father is Jupiter? I handed the letter to Jason and stood still in shock. Jason handed the letter to Lupa and she spoke.
“Hail Sean, Child of Roma, Son of the King Jupiter” Lupa kneeled and so did everyone else in the area.
Chapter 10
Capture the Flag
(Sean)
A wave of Emotions came over me with this news. Jason was my brother, it was cool and weird. I have powers, well it’s cool but with great power comes great responsibility. Jason came over to me in shock still.
“Sean, were brothers” he hugged me. “that’s sweet man, good thing we packed you into our Bunker” it sounded weird for him to say “our Bunker”.
“Yea, right” still in shock. Me and him went to our Bunker and I dropped on my pillow and fell asleep right away. But my dream wasn’t exactly peaceful either. I was in this temple very old maybe 14th century or so not sure but there was a black box dead center and on a white column podium. I stood there just staring at the Black box with very weird writing at the side. I slowly creeped up to the box to get a better look at it, I was interrupted. When I was walking to the box a woman walked into the room. She was wearing a black dress and was pale blonde woman, maybe 58 in height.
“Very good Sean now just open the box” she said with a very convincing voice.
“what’s in it” she looked at me sweetly, trying to sway me into her biding.
“no one knows” she turned around and walked away. “Oooooppppennn Ittt” she said and walked away. I felt this urge to open it up that’s when my dream cut off. I woke up felling drained and in pain, most likely because I fought all day yesterday. I woke up seeing Jason kneeling and speaking to the statue of our father. He stood up and noticed I had woke up.
“hey bro, ha bro, but good morning” I think he was really happy to have a brother in this big cabin.
“hey man bro, haha what we doing today man” he smiled at bro.
“Capture the Flag since there’s two Jupiter kids now our team will win” I wondered what teams were.
“so umm who V.S who” he looked down
“our alliance is Jupiter, Mercury, Apollo, Vulcan, Hecate, then the opposing teams are Bacchus, Venus, Mars, Minerva, and the rest of the Minor Gods.” so I had to fight Hazel, man I wanted to be not trying to kill her.
“Sean your going to need a shield, come on lets head over to Vulcan’s Bunker and see what they got for you” I got up and got dressed and followed Jason to this Bunker made out of complete metal, it was Badass. They had a giant table out for people to stock up on there weapons. Jason went up to this kid, he was small had black hair and looked Polish Irish, he had Blonde hair and Justin Bieber face.
“Hey Scotty, you got something for my brother Sean, Were looking for a shield.
“Hey I’m Scotty, nice to meet you Sean, I think I can help you out” he seemed cool.
“Thanks man, I ah appreciate it” I could see myself being friends with this guy. Scotty and Jason and I followed him into this Metal shed next to the Bunker. He came out with this Beautiful Gold shield, it was Epic.
“This is a Golden shield forged a couple years ago, I think it would fit nice for you.” he handed it to me. I took it and It fit perfect and the weight wasn’t to much either. I shook Scotty’s hand.
“thanks man this will come in handy for today I think.” I smiled and so did he, we stopped shaking hands.
“Yea, Jason and I have been waiting for a win, Minerva always have plans and I’m sick of it, we need to win” I nodded in agreement
“Well I think that me and Jason can bust some heads and clear a path for someone to grab the flag and run like hell.”
“Good idea, we will bring it up at the meeting In 30 minutes, see you there Scotty” Jason said and we left.
“there’s a meeting in 30 minutes, who’s in charge of this meeting”
“Well me, it’s in our Cabin the Dinning room is where we have them” that’s why the dinning room table was enormous. “Oldest child of the most Powerful God and that’s me, but anyway lets go to Hecate’s Bunker and see if Jimmy can get that shield into a tattoo or something.” What is he talking about turning my Epic shield into a tattoo. We walked over to a Bunker that was plain no decorations or anything, guess that’s because it was the minor gods cabin.
“Hey Jimmy what’s up man” Jason and Jimmy hugged
“not much bro what can I do for you and ahh Sean right”
“Right” I nodded
“Well Sean here is my little bro and I was wondering if you could do a little magic for us and turn this shield into a object like our Coins” Jimmy nodded like no big deal.
“I got something better then a coin, I think ill turn it into a ring, put your shield here man: I put it on the table and he waved his hands around it and it turn into a small golden ring, I slipped it on and it fit perfect like magic, Ha like magic.
“ clench you fist and it should pop out” I did as he said and it worked my Epic shield was out and I un clenched my fist and it went away.
“Sweet man thanks” I hugged Jimmy.
“Have a good one Jimmy see ya in 10 Right?”
“Yea man I’ll be there” we walked away and entered our cabin and set up chairs for our meeting in now 5 minutes, Then people started arriving. First one here was a girl she had Blonde hair like the sun and her name was Dakota, Daughter of Apollo Jason told me. Then the next was bald dude from last night Son of Mercury and his name was Tommy. The next was Jimmy from Hecate Bunker. The last one was Scotty from the Vulcan Bunker. We then began the Assembly.
“This meeting is now assembled, now Praetors we can begin” Jason said with leadership in his tone of voice. “this is Sean Son of Jupiter and my Right hand man” some looked stunned at this news.
“Hello, I have a idea to pass through you guys” I said looked and Jason and he nodded for encouragement. “so me and Jason run in and bash heads straight for the flag” the looked at me like I was cocky. “while we distract them we have the Mercury guys come in from the sides and get the flag, while the Apollo people are in the back firing arrows at the enemy, while Vulcan you set up traps with Hecate and Hecate disguises the traps with some illusion magic, Do you think it will work” I was finished, and felt confident that they would agree with the plan. Everyone looked around and at each other.
“I think this plan is Worthy of Minerva herself” Dakota said
“so it is agreed” Jason said
“Agreed” they all said in unison.
“Great, meeting augured” they all left and prepared for the plan. Jason turned to me.
“Great job man, where did you pull that plan out of your head”
“I don’t know I’m smart to a point man”
We got our armor on and left our Bunker and Prepared for battle.
Chapter 11
Blitzkrieg CTF
(Sean)
After me and Jason were ready we headed outside. We saw both teams in front of Lupa who was on a stump in front of the woods. I was on the Red team and the Blue team was all dressed in blue and looked confident, to bad they aren’t prepared for me. Our team looked like weren’t that confident and was wearing all red and one of the Apollo girls had our flags and it looked like a Venus girl had there flag. our teams Trivia and Vulcan were already doing the traps for the game, it looked like a couple of people were gone on the other team to. Lupa Growled and got all of our attentions.
“Legions, huddle in” we all came in closer and listened to Lupa.
“The Rules as always are this, NO RULES!, all magic, all weapons, anything you got use it.” so I could use my powers, how do I do that again. I turned to Jason. He looked so excited and confident or cocky I didn’t know. I decide to not ask how to use my powers, ill figure it out on my own.
“PREPARE FOR BATTLE”
“RUN!” Jason ordered. Both teams ran in different directions of the woods, to our bases.
“3” as I was running I heard Lupa still growling out orders.
“2”
“come on Sean” Jason said while running in front of me
“1” we arrived at the base as she said it.
“BATTLE!!!” And that was it all hell broke lose. Me and Jason Charged in with full might I clenched my fist and my shield turned on. Let me describe the coming out feature. The shield first wraps itself around my arm perfectly and so I can’t drop it then the whole shield raptly turns itself into a shield like a clock telling time but super fast. Anyway back to the fight. Me and Jason ran toward the enemy. The front line was the Mars kids, for you that don’t know Mars is god of war so a great front line. Jason shot lighting out of the sky right into his Golden sword and shot it right at the enemy.
“Hey, that’s not fair” one of the Mars kids yelled.
“Nothings fair in war, get used to it” Jason sneered back
While Jason was shooting lighting I was charging and slicing the enemy up. I ran into this girl first she had black hair a gold breast plate armor and a gold helmet with a blue horse hair on top. She came at me with full force and stabbed at me I counter it and stomped on her foot and elbowed her in the gut she fell down on the ground and kicked her sword away from her. Then I ran towards the second line. Jason took all the other Mars kids when I was focused on that one. The next look like random minor gods, the boys. I prayed to my father.
“Father please show me the way”
“Focus all your energy on this one blast and it will happen my son” a voice in my head responded. I did so, I focused all my energy on this one blast, unfortunately that didn’t exactly happen. I shot 6 shots of lighting I shot them at the base at the 4th 3rd and 2nd line of the enemy and the enemy literal flew out of there. I fell to my news and felt completely drained of energy and relised why Jason didn’t shot lighting that often. I didn’t black out yet but I couldn’t fight. Then I saw someone get off the ground and charge at me, it was Hazel. That was the last image I saw before I blacked out.
(Jason)
While I was fighting Some Son of Bacchus out of nowhere 6 or 7 lighting strikes happened at once all across the enemy lines. Then I saw Sean fall on his knees and almost black out. How in the hell could he do that and not black out I tried to do three and I blacked right away. I started to run over to him then I saw Hazel run at him. I charged and while charging I saw Sean pass out, Hazel stopped and dropped her sword she wasn’t charging to strike she was charging to help, odd. She lifted up his head and started to carry him to the enemy base, I interfered.
“Give me my brother” Hazel stopped
“No were keeping him captive” she dropped him and grabbed her sword.
“You can’t be serious, you fighting me your no match” then arrows shot at me and she picked up Sean and ran towards her base, damn it I lost my brother in two days im a crappy big brother.
Chapter 11
Captive
(Sean)
I woke up in a wooden Bunker with Hazel and two other girls Guarding the exits. I looked around seeing no other exits so I pretend to be still asleep.
“Wow you could have expect another son of Jupiter and right when Bobby and Reyna and Gwen and went on a quest and are missing and stuff, weird.” the girl said to Hazel
“Shelby, your right I don’t know why I think this but, I think he might be the one” Hazel said glumly. What do you mean the one I’m 16 and not ready for true love stuff, then It came to me she meant it like someone that’s important not about love at all. I checked for my coin in my pocket and it wasn’t there. I looked around and finally BING GO there it was on the table next to Shelby. My ring shield was still on me so I was preparing to lunge then something stopped me. I saw the Flag literally right next to me was the blue teams flag. I had to think of something, then it came to me activate my shield then take out the guards before the call a single saying to the other team “hey badass is awake” so I had to be like a ninja. I slowly sat up and creped up on the guard that wasn’t talking and was guarding the back exit. She had black hair and a gothic look to her and had red eyes ,creepy. I unleashed my shield and knocked her out with it. I took her sword and started to do the same with the other guards. Then my brain said to me, “why don’t you take the flag and run out the back exit” not a bad thought but there’s a problem I need my sword which was right next to Hazel. So I creped up on Shelby and did the same thing knocked her out and Hazel sprinted for the alarm, I jumped and tackled her.
“you know your really beautiful” I said with a cute smile, she didn’t exactly have the same feelings, she smiled and then quickly got back focused.
“Get off, Please” she was trying to trick me I new it, like Jason said “Wars not fair, get used to it” advice from my big bro. I got off her and bear hugged her and put her in the prison bars in the back and ran and got my sword and ran back to her.
“Sorry I just want my bro’s team to win for once” I admitted “ I could care less but I want to show everyone here that I’m a threat not a wimp” she looked at me admirably and smiled.
“Well go” she smiled and I took the flag and ran off. I saw two girls with the red flag as I had the blue flag, they were smiling until the saw me. I sprinted towards my side and saw my brother fighting two big ass guys. I came in and knocked them out with my shield from behind.
“thanks bro, you got the flag great lets go” he smiling and ran with me, I saw Jimmy hippie dancing around in the middle of the field with some Vulcan guys. I ran to Jimmy and the guys.
“Jimmy, take the flag run to our base as fast as you can, Apollo should back you up, me and Jason need to get our flag back.” Jason nodded and we ran back towards their wooden base. I saw the red flag in a girl with blonde hair and grey eyes she was smiling and I think she said
“I told you my plan would work, it always does” but I was only reading her mouth I couldn’t be sure.
“Sean, I’m going to charge in while you get the flag from the back entrance Kay” I nodded and we charged. I let Jason distract then I moved in so they wouldn’t notice me coming in. I saw a 12 year old dude with buck teeth and dirty blonde hair guarding so I naturally charged in feeling all badassness and such. I climbed on top of the bunker and dived down and sneaked attacked the boy, he nearly pee his pants haha. I slowly walked in.
“What did you think you do Jason take us all and get the flag, haha” the blonde girl said
“Hey I can take you anyway smarts” she smiled and it was sort of a couple bickering not a war fight. I creeped from the corner and smiled at Jason, I held up a finger count down 3, 2, 1 and I clenched my fist. The sad thing about that was my shield came out and hit me in the face. I shook it off and grabbed the flag and ran for my life, when running out I heard Jason.
“RUN I GOT THIS” so I listened and ran for it. I saw arrows shooting at me but I high tailed out of there. I saw my team cheering when the saw me I guess they haven’t won in two years. This was a sweet victory. I saw Jimmy still with our flag and hippie dancing around it. I saw Scotty high fiveing his fellow Vulcan peps. Dakota was injured and was being attended to by her fellow Apollo people but she seemed happy. Then I saw Jason run up to me.
“WOOOOO!!! After two long YEARS!!! HAHA, Sean you did it” I smiled and hugged my bro.
“NAW MAN WE DID IT” I yell at our team and they picked me up in glory and carried me back to the city.
TEMPLUM
Chapter 12
PARTY!!!
(Sean)
After the victory our blue team had a party in the Jupiter Bunker it was the nicest and most biggest it made sense to have it at our Bunker. The red team was invited to come of course. Jason and I got offers to join our alliance against Minerva for the next CTF game. Nox, and other minor gods not like Mars or Olympian Gods. Jason and I told them later we shall discus the matter, I felt cool talking like that haha. WE had dancing in the living room, we had our training room as the fighting space, figures. The kitchen held all the food, and me and Jason’s rooms OFF LIMITS, but not for long. I saw Hazel there in the living room dancing to “Party in the USA, Miley Cyrus” I’ve heard of her but never really liked her. I went over and started dancing with her then the song shifted as soon as we started dancing together. The song change into the slow song by Aerosmith “I don’t wanna miss a thing” so naturally I am a credible dancer, not I sucked I started to walk away, But hazel was the leader in this fight, she grabbed my arms and put them around her waist.
“What, your not afraid of arrows and swords but girls” she teased. So with that I stayed with Hazel. I decide to move my hands my on her back right above her butt instead of the hips. She blushed and smiled as we danced. It was cool I liked Hazel a lot and I could see us going somewhere but not now not the second day of me being at this uh Camp I guess that’s what you call it. I Stared at her Tattoo it had half of the moon and the SPQR logo below it, but she was different it wasn’t on her shoulder it was on her back right below the shoulder, she noticed me looking.
“it’s on my back because I don’t like to remember” I think I knew what she meant the pain was so unbearable when you get the Tattoo. But here I quickly understood the weak aren’t here all of these people are strong. The song ended and we just stood there awkwardly.
“Soooo, umm I’ll be right back” I said very awkwardly, I was nervous give me a break.
“Okay hurry up though” I went up to my room to think this over. Do I really want to have a Girlfriend and have all this already. I was never really into dating and girls at school I would joke around with my friends and take girls to dances but that’s about it. I was lying in my bed when I heard someone walking up stairs which of course was our only rule for people not to do. So I walked out side of my door and there stood a figure a dark figure. It came at me like a hawk and a mouse and tackled me into my bed I reached in my pocket For (GH) but no luck it was on my night stand and my Ring was with Jimmy to fix it after I hit myself in the face. The dark figure was a girl with black hair but I couldn’t see her face I could just tell it was a girl and black hair was falling from the sides of her robe.
“Who are you, What do you want” I said with shaky but Angry voice
“I am The Oracle I need to see you alone.”
“Why did you tackle me, then why not tell me we need to talk like civil people” I said pissed off and very aggressive.
“I see you and another boy being important in a War against the Lord of Time” WHAT! The lord of time and some chick with a black box.
“WHAT!”
“You and your friends here have a Great Role to play I don’t know what it is but I had to come tell you I don’t know what it means I just get random vibes at times you see” she got off of me and I jump and got my coin and flipped it and this time it was a spear not a sword, CRAP.
“I shall see you after this Party, I will tell you everything I know, Agreed?”
“Yes but-
“No buts after this party come to the cave Next to Neptune’s Bunker under the waterfall and we shall discuss this matter” she walked out and left our Bunker. I went down stairs and trying to find Hazel. I Finally found her, IN MY ROOM! She was talking to a girl with brown hair and was so beautiful.
“Reyna, what’s going on over there” Hazel said. Wait this was one of those campers that went on the quest or whatever.
“Gwen and Bobby are gone I don’t know where they are, I thought they might of gone back to camp”
“No word here since Gwen left to come along, Lupa is Pissed about that By the way”
“Figures”
“Well you get back here and, and well I think there’s this new boy here and he’s so CUTE!” I blushed
“is that so who’s he son of Venus or something”
“NO, he’s son of Jupiter”
“WHAT NO WAY”
“Yea and he’s very cute and sweet and funny and Strong”
“Wow your acting like a total Venus”
“Shut up” she blushed
“Well I go to go good luck on that and tell Lupa everything I told you and well I’m on my way too” she sounded and looked mad when she new she had to come back. I saw her getting up but this was my opportunity to get her not as a girlfriend but we could go on dates and see what happens, Right. She was facing the opposite sight of the door so I ran in and took my blankets and hid myself. I grabbed her
“GET OFF”
“Wait” I said in a deeper voice
“Sean?” Damn it failed. But I said screw it and kissed her she kissed me back but she was in shock, SWEET I PUT GIRL IN SHOCK WITH MY KISSING HAHA!!!
Chapter 13
Peruses? Peruses Who?
(Sean)
“What was that” Hazel said in shock
“A felling, I can see you didn’t mind” she blushed then punched my arm
“what was that for”
“For scarying me”
“You were in my room without my permission”
“Well I was curious on what the top floor looked like then ahh umm”
“then Reyna called you or hologram you I should say well what was that”
“Iris message, the goddess of Rainbows send messages for gods and demigods”
“Ooohh Kaaayy” I said like really how werid does this Demigod thing get, I had know idea.
“So should we go down stairs” she asked like she didn’t want to, but I had to go meet with the oracle, Hazel looked at me like she new I wasn’t excited for something.
“What’s wrong” she asked me
“I have to go meet with the oracle”
“WAIT, What”
“What’s the Problem”
“well umm nothing just that why do you say that” I told what happened in my room before we kissed.
“Oh I see” like it was a bad thing
“What?”
“Well it’s just the oracle refused to give Bobby and Reyna a prophecy why you”
“I don’t know but I have to find out” she looked curious and concered
“Okay well just come talk to me after, Promise?” man I hate Promises
“Promise” I said and walked out. I followed the Oracles directions next to the Neptune Bunker and under the waterfall is a cave. I entered the cave and saw candles all around and a bed and purple cloth all around the cave walls.
“Welcome Hero” she said very creepy like
“Hi, so um whats this all about” I sounded weak, not good
“ I have for seen you and another”
“Another?” her eyes began to glow gold like the sun and she spoke like three girls at once
“Yes, Persues and Sean the great Heroes of the gods, they shall over come and Defeat the lord of Times forces” Man this is creep I wanted to leave but I had to be strong and get used to this sort of thing.
“The lord of time?”
“He who is Father to all Gods”
“The Titan King?”
“Yesssss” she said like a snake and her eyes had turn from gold to green to back to normal. She fell.
“ What was that?”
“that wasn’t a Prophecy that was vibe or a feeling or the future just in rymes” she explained
“well who’s Percues”
“I don’t know but it doesn’t matter he shall play his role you play yours and this Lord of Time shall fall I know it” she said like a build up to a basketball game.
“Well what is my Prophecy, what is my Quest” Her eyes turned green again then she took a deep breath and spoke.
“Son of the Sky beware of Hope
The messager’s son will have the boar and the thief
The sun shall light and the doorway will be shown
Arriving in the City with despair and hope”
“Well that sounds Peachy, beware of hope seriously”
“You have heard enough go”
“But wait-”
“NO, Go NOW” she stumbled over like she was out of breath but I left. As soon as I exited the cave Lupa was waiting for me.
“Woah!, hi Lupa how are you”
“Sean, liking it here so far”
“Yes, very much so”
“So, what was the Prophecy and when are you leaving” I told Lupa the Prophecy.
“but I don’t know when I’m leaving” she nodded.
“You leave Wenesday”
“Okay three days”
“And you must pick your two Allies for this quest”
“What do you mean”
“ you must be accomibed by at least two Campers, I recommed a Apollo Son or Daughter”
“Why”
“ the sun shall light and the doorway will be shown, The Sun”
“Oh Duh” I hit myself in the head. “Well I take Dakota and umm”
“Chose wisely”
“I chose Hazel”
“very well, let them know and report back to me in the morning for now go back to your Bunker and rest, tomorrow we have Legion training, very difficult for a New Solider” she smiled with all her super sharp teeth showing.
“Okay then, Good night” I went to my Bunker and went to sleep, sadly I had my worst dream yet.
I was in a moutain and I saw a guy that was bald and a girl that had blonde hair tied up together on the floor and a blonde hair teenager holding a sword that looked very evil or wrong not natural.
“let us go” the bald dude said like he had the situation under control.
“NO, you will pledge your alligence to Kronos”
“WHY, WHY US” the girl screamed
“You are halfbloods with swords and training very worthy of being in the Army of Time”
“What are you talking about”
“You two need too join Kronos he will kill the gods and take everything back from those greedy punks”
“How Dare you, how can you betray your own parent” the girl said like she was disgusted.
“HE DOESN”T LOVE ME, HE NEVER CARED, SO HE WILL PAY”
“who’s your dad” the bald kid said still like he was in charge
“HERMES that DISGRASS OF A MAN!!!” he looked like he was going to cry but then he slowly cut the dudes arm, ouch! My dreamed ended with Jason waking me up.
“Dude we got Legion Trianing come on”
“Alright just a sec” Who the hell were those kids and who was that blonde teenage boy.
Chapter 14
Legion Training
(Sean)
I went off with Jason were we went into the Arena.
“Go see Lupa, she will assign you a Legion”
“Alright, what Legion are you in”
“Legion one, I’m kind of the Praetor”
“what is that? And what are we training for”
“Well that means like General or Leader, I’m the Praetor to all Demigods”
“Hmm cool but what are we training for”
“Well, really self defense to protect ourselves from monsters and stuff”
“There’s not a war going on or anything right?” he looked at me like I was crazy or like what the hell are you smoking dude?
“Umm no, there’s no war going on” Lupa walked over to us.
“Umm, see ya you’ll do great bro” he ran over to his Legion
“Sean, I will put you in the ring to see how strong you are”
“Umm what do I do exactly”
“You will fight every Praetor until you lose, and when you lose the person you were defeated by you will be in his or her Legion, Understand”
“Yea I guess so how many Legions are there”
“10, One for each Bunker, including the Fauns Place”
“So whos Legion number 10” she Growled and then everyone lined up and held up there flags that had there legion number on it. I saw 10 and walked over to them.
“Heroes!, Sean needs a Legion so he will face Every Praetor until he loses lowest to highest Legion, Understand”
“YES,SIR!” All the campers said in unison. I pulled out GH and flipped it and it was a sword, Sweet. The Faun was the first I was facing he looked like Devon but less big and didn’t look at me like he was going to kill me. He ran at me and I did something that shocked everyone. I Lighting Strike him and he fell right away and pasted out. Doing one lighting strike didn’t really drain me.
“NEXT!” Lupa Screamed and this girl came out and had a bow and arrow.
“Fight!” Lupa Barked and she pulled out her arrows and started shooting. I fell down and rolled and then I thought of something, Jason could fly he could control winds maybe I can make the arrows go off track. I swerved my hands like I was Anag in Avatar air bender. I Did it I swerved my hand and made the arrow circle around and hit her right in her chest and she fell down and I ran and put my sword to her throat.
“NEXT” a guy came out brown hair and buck teeth and had a sword
“Fight!” We ran at each other and I decide to actually fight without powers. I slashed at him and he deflected he stabbed I stepped back and slammed my foot on his foot and elbowed him in the face he fell over and I put my sword on his throat.
“NEXT” another boy came out I new who he was though it was jimmy, he had nothing in his hand.
“FIGHT” I ran at him with my sword and he spoke in Latin and something tripped me. I fell and the grass was wrapping around me.
“CRAP” I screamed and jimmy start to speak more and It was wrapping around my other leg and growing faster. I had no other option I used Lighting to kill the planets and attack Jimmy. I did so and it worked I ran up to Jimmy Pushed him down and put my sword up to his throat.
“NEXT” Some guy I haven’t seen around the city step forward, he had grape vines around him like his amour was made out of vines.
“FIGHT” He ran at me when I just stood there waiting, honestly I was getting cocky. He was now 2 feet away and last second I side stepped and elbowed him right in the kidney he fell I pointed my sword at him I thought I won, he hit my sword away with his and rolled away. I controlled the winds and made myself elevate in midair about 2 feet off the ground and I flew at him, he ran away and I hit him on the head with the butt of my sword. He fell and I picked him and he was out cold.
“Bring him to the Infirmary, NEXT” it was the one girl guard that kept me captive during CTF.
“FIGHT” she charge at me and I followed she stopped in mid sprint and slid under me and cut my leg. I staggered and still charged. She stood there confident. Last second between us she stepped forward right under my legs and hit me in the Groan, Damn that hurt even with a cup on. I charged her again and waited for her to do the same type of move. She did it she slid under me again with incredible speed and I did something different when she slid I Pushed the wind against her and slammed her into the wall on the other side.
“YEA!!!” I screamed. She got up and put her hands up, she surrendered
“NEXT, Sean this is very impressive.” Lupa said
“Thanks” I saw this Girl stepped forward.
“We surrender” she said and stepped back
“very well Next” I saw Scotty step forward with a grin and had a Hammer in his hand.
“FIGHT” He ran at me with his hammer
“TEMPLUM!” he screamed I don’t know how I new but he said “Open” in Latin. I saw his hammer that was a regular sized hammer turn into a gold sledge hammer with a sword handle, Ah Crap. He charged at me and sung for my knees and I jumped up and flew in the air. I flew at him with full force and speed of the wind. It failed. He swung and hit me right in the stomach I fell down and lost my power. I slowly staggered up and he was pointing his sword at me, I lost.
“AHHH” I shot down TWO Lighting Bolts at him one at his hammer since it was gold it will do double the effect and one at him. HE FLEW at the wall knocking him out and almost me. I have been using to much power.
“Wow, very Good, NEXT UP I think is
“Legion 4” Dakota said and walked forward, Damn it I know she might when this
“FIGHT” she pulled out her bow and arrows and started shooting. She actually hit me right above my tattoo, flesh wound. I was now angry, I charged anyway with a hold in my arm and raised my arm up and it hurt so much but I swung. It was pathetic she dodged and kicked me in the side.
“Come on, Get up” she teased
“AHH!” I screamed and unleased the wind, she jumped in the air and jumped and tried to avoid it but you can’t avoid the wind. She slammed onto the ground next to me and quickly rolled back onto her stomach and started to get up, but I was standing above her pointing GH at her.
“Match”she said sadly
“NEXT” Lupa said a girl came out she had brown hair super long and had a electric spear, doesn’t hurt me I can take lighting, BAM!
“FIGHT” she ran at me and did something I didn’t expect she stabbed her spear into the ground and cabulted herself at me and kicked me into the chest. I fell over and groaned, she pulled out a dagger and came at me. She tried to grab me from behind and put the dagger to my throat but I rolled away quickly.
“STOP MOVING”she complained. I came around and stabbed at her. She defeclted and stumbled back. I took it as a advantage and overwhelmed her with so much offence, she fell over and I pointed my sword at her throat.
“NEXT” Shelby walked forward
“My mother is goddess of Wisdom I know hundreds of ways to kill you Son of Jupiter”
“Well pull em out” I smiled
“I shall”
“FIGHT” she walked towards me and I did the thing that would most likely hurt me, I shot lighting at her. I shot it down and fell down to my knees. I don’t know how but she knew it was coming and rolled away at the perfect moment and kicked me in my stomach and I fell down so tired I couldn’t fight I was Done.
“DONE” Lupa barked and she walked over to me. “Shelby take him to the infirmary he has done well for today he needs rest.” she nodded and pulled me up and dragged me to the Infirmary.
“Well done by the way” she said randomly
“Thanks”
“I’m proud for you to be apart of the Second Legion”
“Why is the Minerva Bunker the 2nd Legion shouldn’t be Juno”
“Juno doesn’t have any kids and neither does Diana and Neptune and Pluto, so we don’t count them”
“ oh that that makes since” I said I was falling asleep or dying
“You, okay?”
“Yessss…..” I blacked out
