The House of Hades

Hello My Old Heart, How Have You Been?

I suck.

I was going to write Percy's POV. I really was. But then I listened to this song and inspiration struck and I wrote this poop that sounded good at first but not anymore. Basically it's just a filler chapter.

Only five chapters left after this one :(

Jason

"HEPHAESTUS!" yelled Coach Hedge, looking half-angry half- in - awe.

You never expect gods to cry. They're almighty, all-powerful, people who use children with special abilities to do their bidding and care little about their own children. They've survived centuries, seen things you could never imagine, things you don't want to imagine. 

But the god of fire had tears streaming down his blistered face.

"I don' care what you lot got to sa'." He said, as another wall lit on fire. "MY SON IS DEAD!"

"Please, sir," Piper said, tearing her eyes away from Frank, who was still screaming, his arm lit on fire. "Please, we didn't kill him."

"Don't 'ou try an' of that charm tal' on me, missy." Hephaestus growled. He clenched his hand into a fist, and the fires extinguished themselves.

 Frank lay panting on the ground, gripping his empty shirt pocket. 

"I'll use any charms I want on you." muttered Piper under her breath, but Hephaestus didn't notice.

"You." Hephaestus suddenly turned his attention to Frank, whose eyes widened.

"M-Me?"

"YOU! You w're the one datin' the girl!"

Frank raised an eyebrow. "...Hazel?"

"YES!" Roared Hephaestus. "SHE KILL'D MY SON!"

Frank gulped.

"It wasn't Hazel's fault," Hedge said suddenly.

"Was't her fault!" Hephaestus yelled, turning to Coach Hedge. "SHE STABB'D HIM IN 'HE BACK, LITERALLY!"

"Di Angelo said something about Gaea threatening-"

"YOU KNO' WHAT? I DON'T CARE IF MY FAT'ER THREATENED THE GIRL!"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!"

Instantly the yelling ceased and all eyes turned to Piper. Color crept onto her cheeks with everyone watching her.

"Everyone go to the mess hall."

" 'M A GOD, YOU LITTLE MISS-"

"VULCAN!" yelled Coach Hedge suddenly.

Without warning, Hephaestus' dirty brown smock, dark green (and oil stained) shirt, and brown, smudged pants turned into brown and red robes. Even his usually long bushy hair and beard were cleaned up- his hair was clipped short and neat. His beard was no longer there.

"AGH!" Hephaestus/Vulcan yelled, clutching his forehead. The demigods and Coach Hedge all stood, passive, worried about the consequences of the satyers' actions.

The moment passed, and Hephaestus was back in his usual attire. He towered over Coach Hedge, who, to his credit, didn't tremble.

"YOU DARE-"

"Yes! I do dare!" Much to Jason's surprise, Coach Hedge stood on his tiptoes, getting up in Hephaestus' face. "If you so much as touch a hair on any of the kids' heads, I'll take a swing at 'ya!" He raised his bat apprehensively.

Hephastus' face got red. And redder. So red his boils and bruises seemed in tone with his untouched skin. Then he threw back his head and laughed so loudly the floorboards rattled.

"You've git nerve, satyer, I'll give yeh that."

He turned to Frank. "Bu' you and yer girlfriend better wa'ch yer backs."

And with a snap, he dissapeared.

"Coach, you do care!" Cried Piper.

"Shut up."
