Zodiac Demigods

Scorpio 1

At camp half-blood

It is right after lunch and I am walking back to the Hades cabin when I hear a scream come from the woods. I grab my sword named Ghost and run towards the scream. I see Gemini holding a bucket and laughing, then I see Aquarius turned pink completely other than her eyes. I fall to the floor in laughter knowing that she hates the color pink. "GEMINI!" I hear her scream. She pulls out her sword named Thundershock and started attacking each of her attacks charged with electricity. Luckily Gemini used his speed to avoid the attacks but then something bad happened.

At one point, they both stopped to take a breather when something jumped out of the forest onto me. It starts scratching me until I see something go through its head and it crumbles to dust. I feel myself bleeding and my vision gets blurry. I hear someone calling for help and I hear footsteps and yelling. Then I proceed to pass out.

~~5 days later~~

I wake up to someone telling everyone to shut up and hushed whispers. I wake up and see my other nine good friends (the Zodiacs) and Chiron. "How are you doing Scorp?" I hear Leo ask. "        What happened," I ask, "I feel like I just got mauled by a hellhound". "Well you see young Scorpio,  you actually did get mauled by a hellhound". "What!" I yell. "Hey, Scorpio why don't you just have some ambrosia and we can talk about it in the Big House," Chiron tells me. "Ok see you later guys," I say. They leave after Leo gives me a piece of ambrosia. I instantly feel better after I eat it and I start walking to the Big House.

When I arrive at the Big House meeting room Chiron starts explaining what is happening. He explains that Zeus thinks I stole his master bolt for my father Hades. So he decided to send a monster through the camp border to kill me. Hades is now getting mad at Zeus and is saying that he does not know who stole the master bolt. So Zeus has given me until the winter solstice to return the bolt or else there will be war. 

"This is Minotaur shit! I never even came close to his stupid oversized bug zapper!" I screamed. We all hear lightning flash in the sky. "Scorp you might want to quiet down before dad gets mad" Sagittarius says. "Okay Sag," I say while sighing. "So Chiron what should we do?" Virgo asks. "We will consult the oracle for a Prophecy. Scorpio you will be leading the quest and you can choose the quest members after the prophecy is issued. "Ok," I say as I start going to the attic. 

Once I am in the attic I start walking to the oracle. It starts spewing smoke "Approach seeker and ask," it says. "H-how will I find the master bolt," I ask slightly scared.

                                              "Travel west to the realm of souls,

                               Daughter of the moon will help you reach your goals

                                             If you find the one that can't be burned

                                  Then you will find the child of Zeus that has turned

                                        After you fight the one burdened with the sky

                                          The choice is yours to let them live or die

                                                          Tortured one you must find

                                                   To save him from his father's kind"

After the prophecy was done the oracle stopped spewing the green gas and slumped back down on the tripod chair. I climbed back down to the meeting room. "Well, what was the prophecy?" Chiron asks, acting unusually impatient. I recite the prophecy to them and Chiron writes it down. Well, the realm of souls obviously means the Underworld and we will consult Artemis about the daughter of the moon. I am not sure what it means by the one that was burned. We only know of two children of Zeus currently and I highly doubt they betrayed us. The Titan Atlas was burdened with the sky so beware of him and I would suggest you let him live or else no one will be able to hold the sky. I do not know about the last two lines though" Chiron says.

"So Scorpio who will you be taking on the quest?" Chiron asks. I look around the room. "Umm Pisces would you like to come, water powers could be useful?" I ask. "Sure count me in!" Pisces responds. "How about you Leo, your long-range skills would be useful," I say. "Sure why not" he responds. "Just try not to get yourself killed," I say. "Aw Scorpy, you do care!" Leo exclaims. I scoffed "You wish," I say. Leo just pouted. "Hmm, uhh Chiron I think we should take one extra member, I mean after all we do kinda have to fight a titan" Pisces says timidly. "If you think you will need an extra member than you can take one, but be warned you might not all come back alive" Chiron says. 

"Yeah Scorpio I think it might be a good idea to take an extra member" Leo says. "Ok then, uhh Virgo do you want to come. We might need your defensive powers and we might need you to fly some where" I said. "Okay I'll go" she responds. "Okay now that you have picked all the members go get some rest while I go to Olympus about the daughter of the Moon. You will be leaving at 7 am tomorrow. DO NOT BE LATE. Goodnight" he says.

I trudge over to the Hades cabin and as soon as my head hits the pillow I drift into the realm of Morpheus.

There is a Hades cabin because in this version although Hades does not have a throne on Olympus still, he is more respected and is welcomed on Olympus at any time.
