POISONED (Hiatus)

Chapter Twenty-Two

The remaining demigods and Triton are chatting and messing around in the gardens of Olympus when something was lurking in the dark. Red eyes blazing with bloodlust, drool dripping from it's mouth as it watched the demigods. It licked it's lips and a wicked grin etched on it's face as it fixed it's eyes of one particular demigod. 

'Pretty, delicious demigod,' it licked it's lips again. 

In it's hand was a dagger coated with black thick liquid. As the liquid drips on the ground, it sizzles and disappears. No need to give those horrid gods any clues to cure it. Besides, the only one who can cure it was in there hands. 

The figure hunched over as it heard the laugh of the demigods. 

'That's it,' they gripped the weapon tight, 'Laugh. Laugh all you can godlings... Because that'll be your last'

Leo snapped his head in one of the shady direction of the garden, frowning. 

"Leo?" Jason looked at him confused, "You good?"

"Huh? Yeah... I think... I heard something," Leo looked at it again, squinting his eyes. 

Triton frowned and followed his line of sight. The hairs on his neck stood up, his gut screaming at him that something's not right. Triton grabbed Percy's hand and looked at the other demigods with a forced smile. 

"Let's bring you back your parents now, shall we?" he said. 

He grabbed the told them to grab hands and disappeared into mists, away from the danger lurking in the shadows. Triton distributed the demigods to their godly parents while telling them about the garden earlier making the gods nod and Zeus announce a meeting about it. 

Triton was worrying so much it took Percy ten times to call him his name to get his attention. 

"Yeah, Perce?" Triton stared at those green eyes, "What's wrong?"

Percy opened his mouth to reply but closed it again and shoke his head, "Nothing"

"What's bothering you, Perce?" Triton knelt in front of him, for Percy at his age, he is very short it's adorable. 

"I have a dream," Percy said, "A very bad dream... I saw you hurt... You're... you're fighting a very big serpent under the sea... Tri, are you ok?"

Triton flinched a little. He rubbed his sides when the memory of him and the army of Atlantis fought against Oceanus when the Second Titan War, when that snake manage to sunk it fangs on his sides. At that time, he kinda resent Percy, for not helping them defend Atlantis but now, he swore to protect his brother at all cost. He ruffled his brother's hair. 

"No need to worry about that Percy," He raised on his feet and offered his hand to his demigod brother, "Let's go back home and spar... Or you want to go the Underworld to hang out with Nico and Hazel?" 

The demigod shook his head, "I wanna go see, Grover back at camp. I wanna hang out with G-man since I getting some of my memories back"

"Alright," Triton said, though he's not sure to let Percy go, since he didn't know what happened back there at the Olympian Garden, "Just... just be careful"

"I will Tri," Percy gave him a very big grin, "I'm not a kid anymore"

"Your 12," Triton said amused, "Compare to us immortals, you're just a mere fetus"

Percy rolled his eyes, "Whatever, old man"

"Oi! Have some respect on your elders, kid," Triton ruffled his hair again making the demigod's hair resemble a rat's nest. 

"Stop it," Percy swatted his hair and tried to make it a little tidier, "I'm going now"

"Alright," Triton sighed and called for the black pegasus, "I called Blackjack for you. After your talk with Grover, your gonna spar me. Your growing lazy now"

Percy frowned, "I ain't lazy. I am busy turning oxygen to carbon dioxide"

That earned his a smack upside the head. Percy laughed and then they heard a horse galloping and the flapping of majestic wings. The two sons of Poseidon turned and saw the pegasus coming towards them. 

Percy grinned, "Blackjack!"

"Hey, Boss, big boss," the pegasus greeted,"Do you have any donuts? or maybe sugar cudes?"

Percy frowned, "No, I don't have sugar cubes or donuts. And don't call me Boss"

"Sure boss," Blackjack neighed, "So, why do you call me? Wanna go flying again? Or maybe go to Camp Jupiter? I wanna have a nice chat with the Unicorns"

Percy groaned while Triton snickered on the back of his hand, "I wanna go to Long Island. Besides, you just wanna go to CJ to flirt with the Unicorns"

"Awww, you know me so well, Boss," Blackjack bend his front legs, "Hop on, Boss"

"It's so funny Blackjack have to bend over for you to climb up, brother," Triton snickered and he didn't bother to hide it 

"Shut up," Percy grumbled, "Bye! Tell Dad and Mother where I'm going! Also, after I talk with Grover, I'll go to Mom's!"

"Alright!" Triton smiled at him, "Be careful!"

"You too!" Triton watched as them go, "And try not to break your back, old man!"

Triton flipped him the bird and waved at them goodbye. Triton eyes narrowed and deflect the blade coming towards him. He summoned his weapon and unarmed his enemy and flipped it over. He used the forks of his trident to pinned it's neck and his legs to to pin it lower body. 

"Who are you?" Triton growled 

"No one special, sea god," the creature spat, red eyes blazing. 

"Who is your leader?" Triton flicked his wrist and a dagger appeared in his hand. He pressed the blade on it's neck, drawing blood. 

The creature just grinned, not afraid, "Why would I tell you? You puny gods don't deserve to know who's my leader. And... You'll never get a single information of my leader from me"

Triton looked in shock and the creature spilt it's own neck using his blade. The monster turned into golden dust and was scattered by the winds. Triton looked around and saw the blade, he can feel liquid coming towards it. He stood up and reached for it but stopped. He didn't know if it's lethal or not. He snapped his fingers and a cloth appeared. He clasped the it using and cloth and stood up. 

'Maybe Apollo will know what it is,' he thought and flicked his wrist. The trident and the dagger disappears. 

He teleported towards and throne room and looked at the hearth. The goddess tending the hearth was poking the coals looked at him. 

"Hello, Triton," Hestia smiled at her nephew 

"Greetings, Aunt Hestia," Triton smiled back, "Can you call the Council now? It's an urgent matter"

Hestia nodded and called the Olympian God Council
