Heroes of Olympus
The Son of Neptune
Chapter 1
Percy
Roman Camp
Who am I?
Woah. Where am I? My head hurt, my feet were sore and I didn’t even know was I was. I opened my eyes and in front of me, I saw a boy and a girl. I was in a steam in front of a forest and many buildings surrounding it. However the stream seemed to make me feel stronger and I gasped as my wounds and bruises disappeared. The girl was tall and slim, with a bow and in hand and had shoulder length brown hair. Wow. She resembled someone I’ve seen so much. The boy was burly with ripped muscles. Both of them were wearing purple shirts and jeans. They blabbered in some weird language. Finally , they looked at me and said ,” Why have to trespassed into the Roman Camp Demigod and who are you? “ “ What’s that? And I can’t remember anything expect my name is Percy.”
“Ok… We have to test your skills to see if you are worthy of joining this camp.” The girl flashy a dazzling smile and said ,”Now come, show me how skilled you are! I am the daughter of Mercury, Reyna.” She flashed a spear and without warning she charged at me and shouted. She used the spear and jabbed me in the stomach. But it just bounced off me and it didn’t hurt a bit. “ What on earth? Who is your godly parent?” “Erm…. I don’t know… I just feel good in the water. I took out something like a pen from my pocket. And uncapped it, a sword appeared. Riptide. That name just came to me. I was wearing an orange T-shirt with the words Camp Half-Blood on it. The girl, not being happy charged at me with anger in her eyes. My instinct took over me as I stepsided and stabbed and in the blink of an eye she was on the ground. “Okay, Is Mercury like Hermes, the god who steals stuff?” She said “ No one says greek names loser, this is the roman camp and here we just train and train. You need to see Lupa. Come with me.” The boy said ,” Don’t mind her, she just lost her boyfriend Jason. By the way, I’m Bobby and I’m the son of Mars. “
I feel hopeless. I don’t know who I am and where I am. I followed the two people to the clearing of the forest. There, I saw many teenagers fighting, training and having fun. I was brought to a hut which read infirmary. “ Here eat this. It is Ambrosia, a god’s food. It will cure you. But be warned. Eating to much will burn you up.” “Ok…” I ate it and instantly, I felt better. Then I passed out. I had a weird dream. I was drowning and someone called out ,” Come out of the water Seaweed Brain.” The voice sounded so familiar. I wanted to listen to it all day. But sadly, I couldn’t. Someone was shaking me vigorously.
“Ok ok. I’m up. What?”
“I have awaited you for a very long time demigod. I am Lupa, a she-wolf. I have trained demigods so many years.”
“What’s a demigod? “
“You are part mortal, part god. As Reyna has told me, the water from the stream cured your wounds. This shows you are the Son of Neptune. It is strange. We have never had a child of the Big Three ever since Jason. You are to train here then I shall give you a quest, along with three others.”
“You mean Poseidon?”
“Ah. As I expected. I will read out the Great Prophecy to you.”
Four demigods shall sail the winds,
To fight the giant deep within,
And two camps shall unite,
Lead by two leaders born to fight.
“ I do not know the full meaning of it. But when time comes, we will understand the meaning of it. I know that your memories has been wiped. Our leader, Jason too, disappeared from this camp. It may have a link in the Prophecy. Follow the Prophecy and you will learn about yourself and probably go back to your Camp Half-Blood. Now, Dakota, give Percy a tour of our camp. ”
I looked around to see a blond girl about my age, wearing the same purple coloured shirt and jeans and sneakers. Her eyes were like a storm and something told me not to mess with her. She asked me to follow her as we walked out of the hut and into the camp.
As we walked past the basketball court, the armory, the camp store, the lava covered walls, she explained to me all about the camp. “Capture the Flag’s tonight, and you’re supposed to..” “Yes.. I know the rules already.” Somehow I suddenly remembered how to play this game. Maybe I played it back at Camp Half-Blood.
“So, do you remember anything at all?”
“Nope, only a blonde girl called Annabeth who calls me “Seaweed brain”.”
“Oh, is she your girlfriend?”
“I think so..I really don’t know.”
“Oh. Okay. These are the cabins for the twelve gods. And that one is…”
“Poseidon.”
“You mean Neptune. By the way, I’m Dakota, daughter of Minerva. Dinners at 6pm meet us there at the assembly. After that we have capture the fag. Hopefully no one dies..?”
“So when did you know you were a demigod?”
“I started camp at 9. My father died in an accident and I was an orphan. I ran away and found this camp. But I don’t want to talk about it. Anyway, be at the mess ball by 6pm.”
And with that, she ran off, muttering ,”I wonder if he will be able to survive the test later…”
