Zodiac

Untitled Part 13

We ran for about ten minutes, the sky turned into different shades of pink, orange and purple. We stood there for a couple of minutes watching the sunset, wondering if we would ever get to see it again. Sammy tapped my shoulder, "So, we're gonna go to the airport and catch a flight to Alaska." 

"No. We'll have to travel by sea, the sky's Jupiter domain. We'd be dead in less than ten minutes." We kept running down to the jetty, a glowing stood at the edge with his arms crossed. He wore a roman style toga and held a trident in one hand, an eighteen year old   (I'm guessing) boy with dark black hair and sea green eyes stood next to him in an orange t-shirt with 'Camp Half Blood' written on it.  

The boy held out his hand, "Hi, I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon god of the seas, this is Neptune the roman equivalent of my dad, Poseidon. He can't be in his greek form here," I took his hand and shook it, 

"I'm Tessa and this is Sammy. So, I was wondering if there was possibly a way we could get to Alaska, preferably not by plane." 

"Yeah, planes don't do it for me. Look, my girlfriend's mum sent my father and I here saying that you guys were looking for her library. So...are you roman or something? I mean, I have nothing against romans, just saying. I've met Jupiter before, actually Zeus, he isn't that bad actually. Jason Grace, a friend of mine, he's a son of Jupiter." 

I shook my head, "I don't think that he is evil, I mean, once he did try to set a ring of fire around me, but honestly, I think that he is just trying to keep the Zodiacs in line." Wow, this is me defending Jupiter. "Wait, where are you from?" 

"I'm from Camp Half Blood, Long Island Sound, and he," pointing to Poseidon, "is from Olympus." 

"I've only known my world, this city. People there were only allowed to stay in their Zodiac sections, each Zodiac would have a patron god. Gemini was Mercury and Aquarius is Uranus and Aries is-" 

"Uranus?! What? He's evil!" 

I rolled my eyes at Percy, "As I was saying, and Aries is Mars." Percy made gagging sounds, this guy must have history with the gods. "What is wrong with you?" 

"Trust me, you haven't met the gods like I have. So, Athena huh? She sent you here, I think we might be able to get to Alaska by sea." 

Sammy sighed with relief, "Boats it is." 

Percy grinned, "Not by boat, we're going by sea," 

"Sea?" 

"First class under water tour."
