srry, I posted it twice.
Chapter 1: Percy
I woke up to the sight of boy and a girl laughing their heads of at a campfire.
My head was killing. This pain was worse then diving into the River Styx- wait, what the heck was the River Styx?
‘Wait, who the heck am I?’ I thought.
‘A great hero.’ My inner-conscious replied.
I decided to forget about that thought. I’m pretty sure great heroes don’t go amnesiac very often.
“So, Percy what happened next?” The girls voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I replied with hero-like intelligence: “Whaaaat????”
“Errrrr....Perce, you okay?” asked the boy.
Well, I guess my name was Percy.
“No, no I am most certainly not, my head is burning like Hephestasus forges, and I think I have amnesia, cuz I don’t remember any of you freaks!” I snapped.
I got two very different reactions: the boy started cracking up like this was just another joke, and the girl looked worried.
“Percy, I’m Dakota” she said. “This is Bobby. We’re you’re friends.
Dakota was sort of pretty, I guess. She had long black hair that was streaked with purple highlights. She wore jeans and a black sweater.
Bobby reminded me of a Cylclops. His face was so misshapen, you could have mistaken him for a rock. His black skin was populated by about a thousand little cuts and scrapes. His black hair was cut in a choppy way, like he had taken a pocket knife and given himself his own personal trimming.
“OK” I said.
“You were just telling us how you killed a goose when you were two.” Bobby wheezed. Jeez, even this guys voice reminded me of a dying donkey.
“Harsh, much?” I muttered.
“Not for you!” Dakota laughed. “Your a son of Mars!”
What happened then was so strange, it made killing a goose as a toddler seem like everyday work.
On a absolutely clear night, the sky thundered.
“Uhhhhh....so, the sky doesn’t like children of candy bars?” I wondered out loud.
“Something we said must offended Mars.” Bobby spluttered.
“Hmm... that’s funny, the gods almost never deny their children.” Said Dakota
“Woah,woah!” I said. “Gods! As in the I’m-so-powerful-my-sneezes-could- blow-you-away type gods. The supernatural beings of up above!”
“Yeah, yeah!” Dakota giggled. “Those kinds. You see, all those things you learn about in school, about Roman mythology, they are actually real. The Roman gods are still alive.”
“No they aren’t!” I retorted. “The gods-the gods are alive, but not Roman gods.......”
I have no idea how I knew that. I just let my instincts take over.
“So then which gods are alive? The Persian ones!” laughed Bobby. I was pretty sure the guy was trying to laugh at his own joke, but it sounded like a heart attack.
I was about to reply ‘No, the Greek ones!” but I decided against it.
“You see Percy...... Well, every now and then, Roman gods get googly-eyed for some mortals and have some kids. These kids are called-“
“-Demigods.” I finished. “I know.”
“Hey maybe some of your memory is still here!” Dakota implied.
“No.....no........” I decided to steer the subject away from my memory. “So, who are your godly parents?” I asked.
“I’m a daughter of Pluto and Bobby is a son of Vulcan.”
“Oh, so you’re a child of Hades and Bobby is a son of Hephestaus.” I replied.
“Who the Pluto is Hades?” asked Bobby.
My instincts told me to say: “Who the Hades is Pluto?” but that could get complicated, so I just shut up.
Dakota said, “Hades..... Isn’t he Pluto’s Greek name?”
“Dunno...” I lied.
The truth is, as soon as she said Hades and Greek in the same sentence, I remembered an oily man and a boy who was, without a doubt, his son.
“And Hephestus is Vulcan’s Greek name!” I exclaimed.
“Dude, why are you acting like this is some amazing discovery!” Bobby laughed. Again, I prepared to do some serious CPR, but Bobby’s wheezing subsided.
“Because I’ve seen both of your fathers before!” I said.
“And I see the resemblance between you and your father!”
Bobby grinned and started singing something about looking like Dad. From what I remember, looking like Vulcan isn’t exactly great.
Dakota said, “But....but Percy, your just a novice demigod, a son of Mars. You’ve never seen any gods. We are your only friends at camp! We are the only people you know! No offence, Percy, but you’re a nobody!”
“No!” I said. Winds started swirling around me, and I noticed water funnelling me as well. I was creating a miniature hurricane. The ground started shaking.
“No!” I repeated , my voice louder than usual. I am Perseus Jackson, Saviour of Olympus, and SON OF POSEIDEN!”
With the last words, the water around me blasted away, and I was lowered to the ground.
And then, in my glorious moment of power was interrupted by a pack of 5 rabid dogs.
‘Hellhounds!’ I thought, as one of them leapt towards my defenceless body.
