Daughter of Olympus

FESTUS POV : THE 'QUEST'

"Why are you avoiding me?" asked Angela, as if that was a normal question. What should I say? Should I tell her I like her? Should I say nothing? "Festus?" asked Angela again, cocking her head. Her eyes seemed to glow, as if it was saying 'I'm a goddess!'. She sighed. "I wish I was never a goddess" she said, like she was reading my thoughts "I just want to be a normal kid". "As if that's possible" I mumbled. She didn't seem to hear me."Look, Amelia wants us to transport her to New Rome" she sighed. "Why me?" I complained. "I don't know, she wants me, you, Annabeth, Piper, and Percy to take her" she said "Something about a prophecy". "How are we supposed to go to New Rome without the romans capturing us?" I questioned "Aren't Greeks and Romans rivals?". "They used to be rivals" she added "Piper, Annabeth, and Percy are close friends with the Praetor of Camp Jupiter"she said "Hopefully, that'll stop them from firing"." Final question, who brought Amelia here anyway?" I asked. "Percy keeps on mumbling the word 'octavian' a lot. Maybe that's the guy?" she asked, puzzled. I just shrugged and stared at the floor. "Festus,please tell me what I did wrong?" she pleaded. I couldn't take it anymore. "I LIKE YOU OKAY?" I snapped. She froze. "FESTUS AND ANGELA! GET YOUR BUTTS OVER HERE!" yelled Piper in the distance. I smiled, she reminds me of Abuela. "Um" mumbled Angela and ran towards Piper. Holy Hera, did I just ruin my friendship with her?

    Percy was gathering some supplies from the infirmary, did he just put a pen in his pocket? He spotted me. "Hey Festus!" he said as he waved me over "My friend has a dragon called Festus as well". "Um, i'm guessing this isn't your first quest" I added. "Yeah, this is going to be the least dangerous out of all of them" he laughed. I caught Angela whispering something to Amelia. Amelia turned around and glared at me. Shoot, now both of them hate me. "Girl trouble?" asked Percy "Trust me, I have had a lot of that. Now i'm settled with my girlfriend, Annabeth". He stared at her dreamily. No surprise he had a girlfriend. If I was a girl, I would already be drooling over him. The other girls, Piper, Angela, and Calypso, seemed to have not fallen for him. Maybe they had boyfriends, but Angela doesn't. What if Angela had a boyfriend? What have I done?!

"I'm going to Iris-message the praetor" said Piper as she sprayed water and said 'oh iris, please accept my offering'. The image of a girl in full armour showed up. She had black hair and black eyes. "Hello Piper" she said. "Piper?" said a boy behind her. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. "JASON!" cried Piper. "PIPES!" he cried out as well. "They're dating" whispered Percy. The girl cleared her throat. "What do you want" she said. "Hey! Why the angry tone?" asked Percy playfully. "Lupa is angry with us" said the girl "She sent wolves to attack". "Lupa?" asked Amelia "Mother is there!?". "Why is this woman calling Lupa 'mother'?" the girl questioned. "For you information, this is Amelia" said Angela, pointing at her "Lupa's daughter". "How dare you speak back to me! Do you know who I am?!" she snapped. "How dare you speak back to a goddess!" yelled Angela. The girl looked embarrassed. "Reyna, this is Angela" said Annabeth, breaking the silence "She is the daughter of, well, pretty much every olympian!". "No offence, but you don't look like a goddess" added Reyna. "Reyna!" gasped Jason "What's got into you!?". Piper cut her hand through the vision. Reyna and Jason disappeared.
