Demigods

Ria

At dinner nick wasn't there until half way.

"Ria I have to tell you something."

He whispered in my ear.

It was so sudden I jumped out of my seat and sat at his table. Usually when a demigod whispers, it doesn't mean Santa Claus is coming to give free cookies. It means something like... Juno is coming to take your memory and throw you into Tartarus.

I went and sat at the Zeus table. Dionysus stared for a while along with the others but he didn't care that much. It was really alone at this table. Abhijit came and sat down to, seeing that Dionysus didnt care that I did it.

Nick came back from giving his offerings. He pulled up his sleeve to reveal a bunch of black scribbles.

Was he showing us a drawing?

"Is it a poodle?" abhijit asked

"No silly, you can clearly see that it is Olaf eating pickles!" I said

"What no! it isn't a drawing! I just have really bad handwriting." He admitted.

He said in a low whisper.

"At the crescent moon 3 demigods

Will rise at break of day.

And for the ocean, air and earth

The power they shall save"

"Well that was a nice bedtime story." I said

"Guys this is serious. and for the ocean air and earth the powers they shall save. Why do we have to save it?"

This is the most serious I have ever seen nick. Were we actually in danger?

We scattered to our cabins. I didn't even bother to tell Nick that his cabin was filled with Hermes kids that could possibly transport to his house and tell his mom he snores.

I lied in bed thinking the same thing over and over. And for the ocean air and earth, the power they shall save.

I finally fell asleep and drifted off into a horrible dream.

I was walking in Olympus. I always thought Olympus would be happy with puffy clouds and golden shrines. At least that is how Nick described it. But this land was dark. Grey clouds concealed the sky and the palace was broken down. A musty smell settled along with fog at my waist and I coughed. I waved the air in front of me to push away the smell.

I walked into the palace to see the major gods and goddesses thrones. They were almost shattered and the plaques that were on them were layed in front of the rubble. Like graves.

I walked down the row one by one..

Haphaestus, Aphrodite, Hera, Zeus, hades, Poseidon, Hermes, Ares, and... Athena. I stared at it for a while when I heard a noise. I looked behind me to see a boy. The same guy who's eyes darted the fields. The same guy I didn't help... Abhijit. This was getting to weird. Why was he in my nightmare?

I put my head down. A shimmering noise filled the room and I looked up. It was my mother. Her dark curly hair fell on her shoulders neatly and the maroon dress she was wearing along with armor, dragged behind her. She looked as if she hasn't slept.

"Mother?" I asked

"Hello Ria , hello abhijit." She cast us a sad smile.

"What's happened?" abhijit asked

"The powers in Olympus has fallen. The titans are succeeding for their revenge." She whispered

"How do we help?"

That is when abhijit started to murmur.

" at the crescent moon

3 demigods will rise at break of day

And for the ocean, air, and earth

The powers they shall save."

"Exactly" my mom replied米र

How do we solve this I thought. She seemed to have read my mind.

"Remember the gods are always with you." She whispered

She handed me and abhijit a bracelet. I slipped on. I looked up to say thank you but she had faded away.

I started to wake up. The light outside started to burn my cheek and I rolled over to turn off my alarm clock. I reached out but I stopped. On my dominant hand there was a golden bracelet with an owl on it. I reached over and touched the off button.
