Chapter 4 - Chariot riot- err, I mean, Games
<--------------------------------->
Annabeth: ALL rights go the our original creator, senior scribe Rick Riordan. He owns the series, the characters except Intrise, I (mumbles name ) and ^Insert character name^, and the major plot. Polaris only owns the characters mentioned above and a few plot twists. And oh my Athena, did you know she is going to let me travel to E-
Me: Ahem, that'll be all, thank you, Miss Chase. I know you can't wait to see the architecture there but please be patient.
Percy: Can we please get out of here before Rachel starts sprouting a new prophecy about me ?
Harry: Did someone say prophecy ?.........Oh, sorry, wrong studio.
Me: LET'S START!!!
Them: Yes ma'am!
<--------------------------------->
Intrise P.O.V.
The Camp was huge, as it should be.
As the couch rang, we all gathered towards the dining hall. Each went to different seats, except when Mr.D called me and Percy up. Well, let's face the talk.
Mr. D "introduced" Percy to Tantaulas and of course, he got his name wrong.
Then they turned towards me. "Oh Lords", I thought, "Here goes.".
"And you are ?", Tantaulas sneered.
"Intrise Promesa, daughter of Psyche, the Goddess of Compassion. Percy and Annabeth bravely guided me to camp.", I said in a brave voice.
"Ah, and eh and makes you think that you can remain here ?", Tantaulas jeered.
"The fact that the camp activities director has given me the permission to stay.", I replied in a loud, yet sweet voice.
"Well, you see child. I haven't. So, to prove yourse-", Tantaulas began.
"But unfortunately Sir, I was ready given permission to stay by the director who was in charge when I arrived. Master Chiron asked me to stay while he was still the activities director. And none of the Half-Bloods who were here from before had to go through anything else, did they ?", I asked loudly, causing everything in the hall to look at us.
"Very well. But keep in mind that I will keep watching you. Every move of yours, puny demi God. Off to the Hermes table now.", Tantaulas hissed at me.
"Thank you", I hissed back to his utter surprise. I turned to Mr. D.
"Thank you Lord Dioynus, for allowing me to stay. Hope you stay well, as does your family.", I said politely.
I turned and walked to the Hermes table, grabbed some food, and gave the Gods their offering.
"Please help me while I stay here. Oh, Goddess Psyche, please help me go through this. I chose you because you are most likely to be immortal my mother. Please help me go through this and bless me", I prayed. I am not the usual praying type. But this was different. Gods were real.
-------------------------------------
Tantaulas just announced the start of chariot games. And boy, was Clarisse pissed at him when he said that border patrol was not necessary.
I stayed by the lake thinking about things. Everything that had happened since I came to camp. Things were going to be difficult, I knew that. Campers were surprised that the daughter of compassion can fight well. When asked that for the first time, I didn't know what to say. I replied saying that I always liked sword fighting and am compassionate about it. They seem to accept that. Annabeth had raised an eyebrow at first but relaxed later.
My thoughts drifted towards the chariot events. Annabeth and Percy are pairing up. I don't have anyone to be my partner. Or so I thought.
"Hey!", said a voice I didn't recognize. It was female.
I turned to find the bravest daughter of Ares behind me.
"How did you do that? The fighting, I mean. I thought your mom was the Goddess of Compassion?", Clarisse asked. I was surprised by the way she was talking to me. She almost seemed to....respect me.
"I have always been compassionate about sword fighting and stuff. It comes naturally now.", I replied. It wasn't a complete lie. I often used to 'sword' fight with my friends and cousins using scales or sticks as swords. Friends and cousins......
My eyes widen. I totally forgot about my family and friends. What will they be thinking now ??
Clarisse noticed this and said, " I won't be worried about your friends and father back home. Your father knows that you must come here, right ?".
"Well, the thing is, he doesn't know what I am. So, he'll be really worried.", I lied smoothly. Hey, I didn't say anything about my mom. She'll be worried too, though. "I guess I'll write to them all.", I added.
"Yeah", Clarisse nodded. "Hey, I was wondering if you would like to be my partner in the chariot race? You seem awesome for a partner.", she suddenly blurted out.
"Sure! Thanks for asking. When shall we start preparing?", I answered, a smile spreading out on my lips.
She smiled."How, about.......now?".
"Brilliant.".
#------------------------#
The day of the race arrived. Things were going well (as well as they could anyway ). Then, there came the attack. There were those birds everywhere!! And campers were running, trying to protect themselves from the sharp beaks. It was a complete riot!
I tried to help assist much as I could. As soon as our chariot had crossed the finishing line, both me and Clarisse rushed off to help.
I threw stones as best I could. Somehow, I found bows and arrows. Did I mention that I shoot as well as the Apollo kids? As I heard the command, we aimed and shot our arrows. Percy and Annabeth came back and played those awful songs too loud. The birds gone, everyone was relieved.
Tantaulas rewarded us naming Clarisse and me as the winners. Percy and Annabeth ended up losing, as in the story. I guess they were too busy trying to save the day.
At least I didn't have to do the kitchen duty.
It was a hectic time. That evening, I collapsed at my bed and slept like a log till dinner.
A long day, indeed.
