Fire or Death total Opposites

The Daily Issue of Demigod Drama

"Mom? Leo? Calypso?" All three turn around to see me. I go to grab an arrow but realized that all of mine are still at the range. I pull my locket turning it into a trident, and run to help my mother and friends.

"Shipwreck Wait!" I cross the boundary line, and head for the hellhounds. I plunge my trident into the back of the first hellhound, and turn it into dust. The second pounces, and the third comes from behind. I throw my trident at the second's face, and turn around to be see Nico slice it in half with his stygian iron sword.

"You need to be more careful next time Shipwreck."

"And you need to stop being my mother your ghostliness." I stick my hand out, and my trident flies back into my grip. We join the others to attack the hydra. Fire flies out of the right head towards my mom.

"Mom!" I step in front of them and build a wall of water.

"Andromeda since when can you do that?!" 

"I'll explain later flame head. Nico can you get Percy!" The hydra pounds harder against the wall. Black dots start to fill my vision.

"Percy to the rescue! Everyone close your eyes!" I close my eyes like he said. I hear stone crackling.

"Okay you're good to open your eyes now." I open my eyes to see the hydra turned to stone. I drop my wall of water, but not before crating a spike and hitting the stone hydra. Shattering it upon impact. I touch the three tips of my trident turning it back into my locket. I stumble.

"Woah, there Ande hang on just a bit." Calypso catches me. I stand back, brush the dirt off my clothes.

"Thanks Cal."

"No problem Lady Ande." You see when I lived with dad for awhile we would visit Calypso on her island. We quickly became friends. She smirks as I fumble with my hair.

"Ugh, Cal I told you to stop calling me that." I shake my head.

"Wait, wait, wait. Lady Ande? A wall of water out of thin air? And since when have you meet Calypso?" Ah yes mother. This is what happens when you abandon your child at a young age.

"Hold on Mom. Let's get inside the camp line, and I'll explain everything."

"Mom?" I look at the rest of them.

"Oh right. Nico, mom. Mom, Nico son of Hades. Percy, Mom. Mom, Percy son of Poseidon. And you all have already meet Leo, and Calypso. And I'm guessing the bronze dragon is Festus."

"Well it is nice to meet you boys." Rose warily shakes  Nico's hand. Then hugs Percy. Wow stereotypical much? I walk to Nico and squeeze his hand in comfort. Nico returns the gesture.

We all walk to the big house. Everyone is stopping to look at us. Yep must be an interesting sight. A daughter of Aphrodite walking next to her daughter. Who is also the daughter of Poseidon. Annabeth runs up to us.

"Big House Now! Chiron want you Ande!" Great. Now what! What did I do this time?

"Okay. On my way now Anna." I sprit the rest of the way. I'm incredibly fast since I have to run away from monsters a lot. Even though I have asthma. I rarely use my inhaler now, it used to be bad as a kid. I should get this done before the whole camp knows. I open the door quickly, and shut it just as fast.

"Andromeda my dear. We need to talk." I walk up to the centaur.

"If it's about my mother-" The door slams open.

"Andromeda Marina Black get your butt back here and explain this instant! Oh hello Chiron." Everyone else comes in.

"Well I see you have a lot of explaining to do. I'll leave you to it Ande." No don't leave me! Stay! I don't want to be left here alone! He exits the room.

"Andromeda-" I twirl my hair.

"Actually I go by Ande now."

"Well Andromeda. Will you explain to me what has happened?" Well no I shouldn't but I'm going to anyways, because my friends deserve to know. I sigh.

"Sure thing Rose." Then I explain everything that has happened. Except what happened to Caleb and Samantha. I explain my quests, new Rome, almost everything I've done. I also leave out what happened in Tartarus. Nobody needs to know about that. Rose walks up to me, and smacks me upside the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" She eyes me quizzically.

"For getting a tattoo." I roll my eyes.

"I had to. It's kinda the law there. Nico and Percy have one too." She hugs me, and I stiffen at her touch. There was a time where I would've embraced it, but that was a long time ago.

"Doesn't mean you should still get one." She smiles. "Now let's go see your brother and sister." I plae. How do I tell her that her youngest children are dead?

"Ande what is she talking about?" Tears threaten to spill. Everyone is looking at me now. Don't cry, don't cry. Conceal don't feel. Be like Elsa from Frozen. I can't tell them. Not now. Not when it hurts too much. I just got over them. I turn around, and run out the door.

And run, and run. That's all I seem to be doing these days. Then I reach the beach. I hear yelling behind me, but I don't stop. I just keep going. I dive into the deeper water. I breath while swimming, and keep my clothes dry. Perks of being a daughter of Poseidon. I hear a whining sound. I go deeper, and see where the whining is coming from. Three hypocampi are caught in a fishing net. This angers me. I swim right up to them.

"Help us, Please! Help!" They keep thrashing around.

"Sh, sh. It's okay. I'm here to help." I smile at them. I break the chain on okeanós.(Ocean. My locket) They whine and thrash more.

"Please don't kill us, my queen." I try and comfort them.

"No, no. The trident is going to cut you free. Now what's your names?" I go to work on the net, while they talk to me.

"My name is Silvertide, this is goldenback, and stingray. We where playing tag when we got stuck." I nod along. I smile.

"Ah ha! Well la, all done. No more net for you." I pull the net off.

"Thank you my queen." I shake my head.

"You're welcome. And please don't call me my queen my steed lotus blossom, calls me that too much."

The hippocampi gasp as I glow. Then sea foam twirled around me. It surrounds me, and I start to freak out. A quickly as it appeared it disappeared. I quickly swim back to the beach. Still freaked out about what happened. I hear a bunch of people on the beach. I stay under the water for a few minutes, and then walk out of the water. Everyone has either a shocked or dreamy like face. I step fully onto the beach. Everyone is still staring at me.

"What are you guys staring at?" I look behind me. I sink into the sand. Wait sink?

"Fish Face have you seen yourself?" I give Percy a puzzled look.

"Yeah this morning. Why is it so cold?" I shiver as a cool breeze blows by.

"Never mind we need to go talk to Chiron. Like right now." Percy pulls me along with him to the big house. As we walk throughout the camp the second time today everyone is staring at me. Specifically me. Which is freaky.

"Why is everyone staring at me?" It comes out like when I charmspeak. "What's wrong with my voice?" I charmspeak again.

We finally make it to the big house. I run inside immediately. I quickly go over to the full body mirror thingy. And scream! My usually messy auburn hair is in perfect curls with a braid across the top of my head, seashells and pink hearts woven in between each strand of hair, make up decorates my face like a model, it matches my toga and hair. The toga cascades from a hot pink into a sea-green (the color of mine and Percy's eyes), and has a cut that runs up my right leg and stops just at my thigh. I am also wearing healed gladiator sandals that make me as tall as Jason. My locket is shiny as ever, but has a hint of pink. I have several bronze, gold, and pink bracelets on. A pinkish blue scabbard holds my pearl dagger. (Which I don't know how it got there.) My tattoo is showing. The she's and hearts in my braid make a crown if paired close enough attention. It's too much pink to handle! And I Hate Pink! I try messing everything up, but it just comes back stronger and brighter. Everyone showed up. I start shaking.
