Symbol Of The Gods

Chapter four

Wait did you say demigods? As in half God?" Sam asked, unable to believe the statement.

"Oh this is too good, I need a drink," Dionysus said, getting up to leave. "Enjoy your stay," he continued as he left.

"I swear all that guy does is drink," Annabeth commented.

"I understand that this is all overwhelming, but it is the truth," Chiron explained.

"No this is impossible," Dean said as he began to walk away. He wasn't a demigod, his mother was Mary Winchester and his father wasn't even in the picture. Ever, it was only ever him and his mother. Then it was only ever him and Sam there was no way he was a demigod.

"Dean wait!" Percy said as he chased after Dean, leaving Annabeth and Sam with Chiron. Percy caught up with Dean as he was starting to make his way toward the lake. "Dean!" Percy yelled as he grabbed Dean's shoulder.

"Not now kid, I don't have time for your wild imagination, this is all fantasy I am not a demigod and neither are you!" Dean yelled. Percy rolled his eyes and walked over to the water, he pointed his hands at the water causing it to rise.

"Does this look like fantasy to you?" Percy said as he looked over at Dean.

"Oh my gosh this isn't happening, I've lost it," Dean said to himself. Percy allowed the water to fall back in.

"Letters float off the page when you read right?" Percy said. "That's because your brain is hardwired for Ancient Greek, not english," he continued. "Face it, you are a demigod and that thing you saw chasing after us, was a griffin,"

"Son of a bitch," Dean responded, unable to say anything else.

"No, son of a god," Percy said trying to lighten the mood. "Come on, Chiron will explain it more,"

"Okay as long as nothing happens to my brother," Dean responded. As the two were talking they overheard a group of people shouting.

"Come on newbie, stand up a fight!" A female voice yelled.

"Oh no, " Percy said recognizing the voice. Dean raced off back to camp and saw his brother standing face to face with a girl, a bit taller than him. Ironically the girl had the same hair and eye color he did.

"What is your problem with me lady?" Sam asked.

"You look like new bait, " she responded and the group behind her giggled.

"Hey quit picking on my brother!" Dean yelled, getting their attention.

"Brother you say? And who are you both the sons of, the lame sun God Apollo?" She asked.

"No but you need to leave him alone or you'll regret it," Dean said as he got into Clarisse's face.

"You think I'm scared of you?" She asked getting up in his face.

"You should be!" Dean yelled as he unknowingly summoned a sword into his hand. "No one ever picks on my brother!"

"Oh so the newbie likes to fight? So do I," She responded and attacked him with her spear. Dean quickly dodged Clarisse's spear as Sam watched Clarisse's moves, he had noticed that she was mostly fighting on the offensive side counting the spear since it had been long ranged and Dean had a sword which was good for a defensive attack as well as close combat.

"Dean! She's fighting an offensive move!" Sam exclaimed unsure of how he knew that. "You have to fight on the defensive!"

"Shut up newbie! Once I'm done with your pathetic brother your next!" Clarisse yelled. Dean was angered by her words and used his sword to trip her. Clarisse recovered quickly but Dean didn't let her attack him again. Something inside told him that he had to fight harder so he did, each blow he made became angrier until he snapped Clarisse's spear.

"Don't ever come near me or my brother again," Dean panted. He wasn't sure how he had managed to beat her but he wasn't going to complain.

"You'll regret this, you just made me your enemy!" Clarisse yelled standing up and storming off.

"Dean are you okay? I've never seen you fight like that," Sam commented. He was a little concerned by how angry Dean had looked while beating her.

"I don't know, I just got so angry," he answered. "How did you know how to beat her?" he asked.

"I don't know, I can't explain it," Sam responded.

"Neither can I," Dean spoke. But before he could say anything else the campers gasped as they looked above Dean's head. Sam was in shock he couldn't believe that his brother had been claimed by a god. "What? What's everyone staring at?" Dean looked above his head and noticed a flaming spear above his head. Chiron stepped forward knowing that Ares had just claimed Dean.

"All hail Dean Michael Winchester! Son of Ares, God of war!" Chiron said as the entire camp bowed to Dean.

"God of War?" Dean thought to himself. He didn't say anything because the revelation hadn't hit him yet. After being claimed, Percy told him that since his Godly parent had claimed him, he had to move into Ares cabin. He wasn't sure what to say to that either, Sam on the other hand wasn't taking this revelation well. If Ares was Dean's father why did he stand by and do nothing when their mother died. On top of that, Sam wasn't sure if he could process Dean not being his whole brother. To keep himself busy, he forced himself to think about how he had known how to fight against Clarisse.

"Something bugging you," Annabeth noticed.

"Maybe," Sam answered. He knew he should just talk about it with Dean. But at the minute his new siblings were taking up all of his attention.

"You seem jealous," she said.

"I'm not, just confused," Sam lied.

"Boy I'm the daughter of Athena you can't fool me, take my advice don't let this revelation change how you see him," she said to him. "How did you know how to beat Clarisse anyway?" She asked.

"I don't know, the strategy just came to me while I looked at her," Sam answered. Right as he said that, she gasped and looked above his head. "What?" He was confused by her reaction. She said nothing and Sam gazed up to see an owl with an olive branch. He almost fell over when he realized what that meant, Athena had just claimed him as her son. Sam wasn't sure what to say, this just made everything feel more real to him.

"I guess you're my brother, " Annabeth said to him.

Far off in the distance, the Goddess Eris flew down to a run down temple mostly in ruins. It was hidden by a dense forest and a waterfall. This was where her father had banished her mother, and it was finally time for her to be released. She gazed up at the sky and saw a group of stars align in the shape of a crown. The symbol shone upon the temple and all life around it started to dim as Hera was set free. Eris heard the sound of chains breaking and a few seconds later, she saw her mother throw her restrains on the ground.

"Oh it's been so long since I've seen the light of day," Hera said taking in the scene around her.

"Mother," Eris said as she landed in front of Hera. "You've been freed,"

"Yes my dear and my ambitions haven't changed, " Hera responded. "These four demigods can't be allowed to stand in my way, we must find a way to divide them," she continued, already aware of the prophecy.
