King Arthur And The Olympians: The Titan's Curse

Arthur Scares a God.

As the Sun seemed to fly out of the sky and zoom in towards us, I frowned. I had learned Astronomy Lessons from Merlin, and Camelot, as old a country as we were, was pretty progressive.

Merlin had already taught me fully in my classes that the sun was in fact a giant flaming ball of gas at the center of our Solar System..  I just couldn't see how Apollo could literally drive the sun across the sky. 

"it's not what you think." said Artemis, as if reading my mind.. then again she was a goddess, so she probably did.

"What?"

"The sun.. though I don't recommend asking my brother about it.. he purposely makes the explanation sound overly complicated so he sounds intelligent and impresses the girls." said Artemis.. "he'll say something about.. 'oh this chariot is built up of all the mortal's beliefs, hopes and dreams.. ' something completely outlandish.."

"So what's the simple explanation?" asked Thalia. 

"There are Two Suns." said Artemis. 

"HUH!?" 

"One sun indeed holds the Solar System together, and probably would properly provide light to the world." said Artemis. "However, Ouranos still holds a grudge against Gaia and her children after the incident where he was sliced into to bits and scattered across the sky, so you can say he blocks the sunlight from piercing.. so the Sun Chariot is a manifestation of what humans think the sun should be.. how it should provide light.. it draws sunlight into it.. and lets it loose over the world.."

"So it's like a sort of power transfer.. the chariot takes light from the sun past Ouranos, and lets it loose under  the sky."  said NIco. 

"Indeed that is the simple, and less complicated explanation." said Artemis. "Whatever you do, don't ask Apollo for the more complicated version." 

"Fine. Can we GO already?" Mordred growled.

"You're angry at me.."

"OH YEAH! You could say I'm pretty pissed about TIMING!" Mordred said.

"Timing?"

"WHEN THE HELL DID YOU THINK IT WAS ALRIGHT to CLAIM my Big sis when Thalia had just stopped being a Tree? And me? YOU CLAIMED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF CAPTURE THE FLAG!! IT WAS VERY DISTRACTING!!" Mordred stammered. "ONE MOMENT I'm BEATING the crap out of Clarisse, the next thing I know I'm holding a bow and not my own sword! Jeez Mom reallY!?"

"I.. haven't done this before.." said Artemis, going slightly pink. 

"VRRRRMMMM!!" Suddenly we turned away as the "Sun" zoomed onto the cliff..

"Be careful not to look until he parks, don't want to hurt your eyes." said Artemis.

Park?

I looked over after the light dimmed to see a cherry red sports car.. a Maserati to be exact. Well I knew it was a Maserati because Percy's dream car happened to be it, and he told me when he was 8 that when he married me he'd take me on a ride across the world on it.. to which I'd jokingly reply he'd better make the car blue.

A groovy, handsome looking teenager with blonde hair, sunglasses, and the typical clothes you'd expect of sports cars driving maniac teens with death wishes and an overlarge expectation for picking up girls.

"Well well!! Little sis there you ARE!" said Apollo. 

"Hello Brother." said Artemis. "I am in need of your help.. so if you will.."

"WAIT WAIT!!" Apollo held up a finger. "I feel a Haiku coming on!!"

All the Hunters groaned.

"My brother has had an overobssession for Haikus ever since he visited Japan.." muttered Artemis.
