Legends of Olympus: Awakening

Chapter 11 Elliott

Chapter 11 Elliott

The cool summer wind blew through Elliott's hair, as he bounded across the American countryside on the back of a large Wolf. The animal moved majestically and fluently, ripping through the air at an impossible speed.

Pearl rode next to him, her strawberry red hair dancing in the wind, Gods of Olympus she was beautiful he thought, Elliott hated that he couldn't remember her, they obviously had a strong relationship before. He could feel their connection every time he looked at her. Pearl turned her head catching him staring at her, causing her eyes to twinkle and a small perfect smile to appear on her lips.

The sound of a horn came from in front. It was Thalia, her arm up in the air signalling to stop. The wolves slowed in pace and pulled up next to a river bank.

Elliott jumped, stumbling slightly as he landed. He walked over to Pearl's Wolf in order to help her down, however as he reached her she jumped, landing gracefully.

She winked at him cheekily, he raised his eyebrows "show off" he laughed

"You never did like it when I don't need your help" she joked laughing at him

"I can see why, you're too adorable for me not to try and help" he smiled

Pearls face glowed at this, then a flicker of pain shot across her eyes and he felt guilty, she was in enough pain as it was, complementing her didn't help the matter that her boyfriend couldn't remember who she is.

He coughed awkwardly running his hands through his hair "we should go see what's going on" he mumbled and began walking away.

Every one walked up to where Thalia was waiting

"We'll take a quick break, let the wolves rest, In half an hour we'll move out again" Thalia ordered

Everyone dispersed to different directions, Elliott caught Pearl's arm pulling her gently to one side

"Can we talk?" he whispered

"Sure, what is it?" she replied

"No, in private?" he asked again

Pearl nodded and the two of them made their way to the river bank where they could be alone. They sat down on the small sandy beach; the hot sun of June beating down on them with the sound of the clear blue river, flowing past them.

They sat in silence for a while just watching the river drift past them "you wanted to talk?" she said smiling softly at him.

Elliott coughed slightly "hu.. yeah umm well.... was there something you wanted to ask me earlier before Archie butted in " he asked

Pearl seemed to think for a second "oh yeah, it was about your coin"

He nodded "yeah its weird right" he laughed then added "but if you want to know how I got it" he shrugged

"Yeah I know that's fine, I Just wanted to see it, may I?" Pearl held out her hand

"Sure" he said, pulling the black metallic coin from his pocket, handing it to her.

She examined it for a moment "I've never seen anything like it before, I'm not even sure what metal it's made of, one of the kids from the Hephaestus cabin at Camp will probably know"

"The god of blacksmiths right?"

Pearl nodded then continued "and you see these markings on either side of the coin, they look like some kind of hour glass, very weird." she handed it back to him "how's it work?" she mused

"not sure, some kind of magic I guess, I just flip it " Elliott demonstrated and the Sword materialized in his hand "and Boom Instant Sword, then when I spin it, its back as a coin" Elliott did this, pocketing the coin.
