Titan Hero

The (next) great stiring

Percy Pov

The constant sound of the creek  flowing down calmed me and helped me think as I sat there in my room while I was waiting for news from Artemis.

When two hours passed by and nothing happened I eventually got restless and ran out of the cave to check on what is happening.

So I ran out of Alaska and spread out my senses in my domain of the earth. What I sensed where the hunters around two miles from me and some demi-gods who were coming with something really fast like Arion around twenty, nineteen, eighteen ... miles from my position. Of course they had a chariot behind Arion.

So it came as it had to be. An hour later they were both around half an mile from my position and the demi-gods will be faster. And because of this I wasn't really surprised to see them come out of the forest with drawn weapons.

But still I felt happy when I saw who lead the quest. It was Hazel herself. So when she, and two other demi-gods, were infront of me the first thing I did was to clap. You know like the typical insane person.

I then took a close look at them. One of them was a blond-haired guy with blue eyes who was most likely just another child of Apollo and the other one was a girl with black hair and black eyes. She was a child of Hades. Or any other Underworld deity.

As it should be Hazel first began a conversation with me. Meaning she began to demand things. Like this.

"Perseus you have to come to Olympus by order of the almighty Jupiter and if you don't come with us willingly we will force you. What do you say?"

With other words it was pathetic. Although I don't have a real issue with her because I don't even know if she believed the others or not. And how her thoughts were circling about her wish not to fight me... and yes if a mind isn't protected I can read the thoughts.

But still she became kind of arrogant sonce I died. Or she had to say that. But either way I was totally pissed of that she was just so arrogant to believe I would go anywhere near Olympus. I mean I still am not insane or suicidal. If I so think about it I was more furious at the gods than I was at her. That they dare to be so stupid.

So I just shook my head and waited for their reaction which came in form of a battle cry from the son of Apollo. Instead of charging at me he took out a bow from Chaos knows where and shot some arrows in my direction. The arrows came with a great accuracy but he didn't shoot them fast enough as I had enough time to block or dodge every single one of them.

I noticed that the daughter of Hades didn't attack me. But I could also feel the earth sink under my feets as Hazel created a middle sized hole for me to fall into. But just as she was about to open the hole I jumped forward and attacked her.

The fact that Hazel and I moved in a circle while we were fighting gave me the advantage that the son of Apollo had to stop his constant rain of arrows. Of course Hazel wasn't bad when it came to fighting and her sword was longer than mine so she had a bigger reach but I was far more experienced when it came to combat so I jumped forward and took a swing at her left with my sword but stopped before I could be blocked by her own sword and just dodged her sword making her fall over.

I then quickly used my chance and knocked her out before I moved towards the son of Apollo who didn't put up much of a fight as he tried to fight me in close combat with a knife instead of his bow. And I have to say je isn't that good with it.

So after the two of them were unconscious I looked at the daughter of Hades and asked:" Won't you attack me too?"

She replied with an kind of annoyed look and simple shook her head. So she isn't my enemy. Good to know.
