The Time-turner Chronicles

|1| Chapter 4: Ha! You underestimated my cosmic awesomeness

Saying I was disappointed was an understatement. You think doing your life

over and over gives you new chances and so on, but it's not so.

Poseidon and Zeus fighting on the beach over the lightning bolt, dark and unknown voice laughing, been there done that. I mean come on. I've already seen this dream, can't I just skip it?

Sadly I just had to sit it out.

In the end I just had a conversation with Chaos talking about the weather. Yes the weather, that's how bored I was.

I had random flashes of waking up for a second to see Annabeth leaning over my face asking, "What will happen at the summer solstice?"

I gave a vague "what?" before blacking out again.

I woke up later to see Argus staring at me from the corner before blacking out again to get a new dream.

This dream was different, I was alone. No Chaos or Nyx in my head to support me. Only darkness surrounding me. After a few seconds a sadistic girlish laughter filled the emptiness around me.

Then I woke up.

"So who's my father?" I asked innocently, trying to fake my old me, after the preparatory conversation.

Mr. D and Chiron exchanged nervous glances before saying, "we don't know, he might claim you during dinner but there's a chance he won't." he said with sadness in his eyes.

"Where can I sleep?" I asked Chiron, ignoring the mean glares from Mr. D.

"The Hermes Cabin accepts unclaimed demigods." Chiron said.

"Hermes Cabin?" I asked like I never heard of it.

"Annabeth will give you a tour around camp." And he pointed at Annabeth who sat on a chair looking annoyed as she had the "new kid" around. Oh, the irony.

"Oh before you leave, Grover left you a note." Chiron said while giving me a piece of paper.

"Where's Grover Anyway?" I asked, I forgot completely about Grover to be honest.

If I was correct with my assumptions Grover wouldn't be forced into my quest this summer.

The only reason he went last time was because he had to be dragged over the borderline by me. Now I think about it, why don't they teach Satyrs to use weapons? It sure would help them retrieve demigods.

I mean, Grover's pipes are really dangerous but I can not recall Coach Hedge ever being threatening, besides his screaming though.

I made a note to myself: Teach Satyrs how to wield weapons.

I took the letter and opened it.

Hey Perce,

I'm not really good at goodbyes and writing messages but I hope this one will work. By now you probably have woken up and realize that you are a half blood, a hero. Of course I already knew you were one from the start. The way you always stood up to me in class when the other kids tried to harass me, the way you were my friend. It gave me the courage to be more like you. That's why I'm going on my own quest now to find something lost. I finally got permission to go, something I wanted for a long time. I know things must be weird for you but I promise I'll come back alive and we'll share another enchilada.

Stay safe.

Your friend, Grover Underwood

Satyr Protector.

'Well this is new.' Chaos commented dryly.

'Yeah, you think this will a!ect the timeline?' I asked worriedly. Would this mean Grover would stumble across the Golden Fleece too soon?

'Who cares?' Chaos said, sounding uninterested.

'I'll ask the Fates to keep him away from the Fleece 'till it's the time.' Nyx said, joining the conversation.

'The Fates listen to you?' I asked awestruck, I mean I knew Nyx was powerful but could she command the Fates?

'The Fates are my daughters remember? Every now and then I can ask them a favour.' Nyx said happy.

"Awesome!" I said out loud, I was such a lucky guy to have Nyx support me.

"Are you done drooling?" Annabeth scowled.

'Rip her guts out and hang her friends with them.' Nyx yelled.

'We're kids remember?' I said looking at Clarisse and her 4 friends who were ready to drag me to the toilet.

'Didn't stop me.' Nyx commented.

No matter how annoying Clarisse was, she would play an important role in the war and I didn't want her to hate me. Otherwise, I would be stuck with an angry Clarisse on a boat next year traveling the Sea of Monsters.

"Please, he's just new." Annabeth said without much enthusiasm. I smirked at Clarisse and her friends when I took out Riptide.

Sure I could let myself be dragged into the toilet like last time and use my Poseidon powers to splash everyone but it was too soon to reveal who I really was. I needed to keep a low profile until the missing Lightning bolt became a real problem.

"It would be dishonorable to attack a new kid with five people wouldn't it?" I said innocently, toying with Riptide.

Clarisse's face reddened with anger as she took out her spear, Maimer. The other Ares kids took out simple bronze swords.

"Shut up!" Clarisse shouted, gaining a lot of attention from other campers who came to see what was going on.

She put the spear in front of her in an attempt to look dangerous. "Bring it Prissy!" She yelled.
I lifted my sword and did my best impression of a famous scene.

"You underestimate my power." I said with a crackling voice. A few kids recognized the lines and laughed at Clarisse and her friends who didn't get the joke.

In a flash I lunged forward, stepping to the right of her spear and hitting her in the stomach with my elbow.

Caught by surprise she dropped to the floor. I spun around to hit her again with my fist in her face which was lowered. She dropped her spear in surprise.

Before any of the other campers could react I waved out, taking her spear with me.

I caught it and broke it by slamming it into my knee.

Lamer broke with a satisfying snapping sound.

Seems like I'm ahead of schedule.

I walked away leaving the Ares cabin flabbergasted.

I saw Luke in the crowd looking at me with calculating eyes. I knew he wouldn't hold back when we were training this time.

With a smile on my face I left the crowd, looking for the hearth. It didn't take me long to find it. I found a girl poking with a stick in the flames, making the flames rise higher.

I sat down next to her, staring at the fire.

"Why hello Lady Hestia." I smiled.
