Chapter 5
Percy's POV
The next morning I awoke to a itching feeling on my face, So on instinct I slapped my hand to my face to hopefully stop it. Then immediately was wide awake, as something was definitely on my hand when I slapped it on my face, as I looked around I saw and heard Travis and Conner laughing till they were crying, and it soon became obvious what they did, they put whipped cream on my hand and then tickled my face.
"where is everyone" I asked when they stopped laughing.
"They just left to have there breakfast so we volunteered to wake you up" said Travis grinning
"Yeah and as you can see we did a fantastic job at doing it" Conner said mischievously
"Yeah yeah whatever let's just go" I muttered, and a quick wash to the face later I was walking to the unclaimed table, while Travis and Conner went to the Hermes, still grinning from the prank they did to me.
When I got there I had some toast completely unaware that everyone was looking at me, But when someone said"Can you build the unclaimed and children of minor gods a cabin" asked a little unclaimed five year old asked
"That's actually a really good idea, yeah I'll give it a go, but it'll have to wait to after the duel with Clarssie, as it will take a lot of power and I will most likely pass out afterwards.
"Thank you Percy" said the girl and gave me a kiss on the cheek
And then the clapping and cheering started, while I looked around wildly wondering who they were clapping at, so I asked the guy next to me. He just looked at me like I was an Idiot, before answering
"They're clapping at you Percy" he said and now that I looked more closely I could see they were looking at me , even Chiron was clapping. While Mr D looked like he wanted to stop it all, but couldn't be bothered.
When breakfast was finished the Hermes cabin plus the unclaimed campers went to sword fighting, Where Luke was teaching,"Come on Percy, seeing as your the one who decided to challenge Clarssie, You can spar with me, because if you can't beat me you won't beat Clarssie" said Luke while I nodded in acceptance, as I expected this.
"Okay your on " I answered as we got in our fighting stances. And on an unspoken signal we charged, our swords met with a loud clash, Chaotic Metal against Celestial Bronze, it was an Epic battle, I feinted a slice to the right which Luke easily saw through and tried to take a slash at my stomach but I jumped back and dodged it, he then did a disarming manoeuvre which I didn't notice until my sword was on the other side of the Arena. But luckily I had a knife which I hid in the in my boot for this exact reason, So I quickly swung an punch at an unsuspecting Luke, and ducked down to get the knife but when I came up Luke was already there with a sword against my chest, but I had my knife at his throat too "tie?"he asked "tie" I agreed.
As Luke continued on with the lesson teaching everyone the disarming move he did on me, I was paying rapt attention to him as I didn't know this move and it would most likely come in helpful in the future
When he finished that he moved on to a move that I already knew so I didn't pay that much attention at all instead I asked Conner what the time was.
"11:45" he said then went back to watching Luke.
While I was left gaping in surprise as my big fight with Clarssie was happening in 15 minutes. Luke seemed to realize this to cause when he finished the move he was teaching he told everyone to clear the Arena. Then came over to me and wished me luck then went to the stands to watch where half the camp was already.
While I thought over my plan to beat Clarssie, So far the plan was to taunt her and hopefully make her get mad and do reckless moves so I can win.
"I'm surprised you showed up shrimp" came Clarssie's obnoxious voice from across the Arena and effectively breaking me out of my thoughts,
Just as I was about to reply Chiron's voice rang out through the arena."Today the whole camp is here to witness the duel between Clarssie La Rue and Percy Jackson, the fight is to first blood or knock out, Fighters are you ready" Yes" Came Clarssie's strong and confident voice. "Yes" Came my voice sounding not nearly as confident as Clarssie's. "Then fight" said Chiron
But neither of us charged each other, we were both studying each others fighting stance. But as soon as I finished that I started the taunting her. "Hey Clarssie, I heard that people bully people if they like them, so do you love every new camper" I said mischievously. "Your getting it now magic spawn" Growled Clarssie and charged straight at me. "So Clarssie, I heard that Yo mamma so ugly that hello kitty said goodbye " I said and heard the crowd laugh.
But that stopped when Clarssie stopped started glowing red with rage but with a tinge of gold in it to, "Like what you see magic spawn, it's the blessing of Ares and Kronos and now it's your time to die, and that's when I realised that Clarssie was a traiter. But I don't think anyone else heard her say that it was the blessing of Kronos, So as I got ready to use my powers cause there was no way I was going to follow the rules when she was trying to kill me , but just as I going to, I got hit by an uppercut that lifted me up from the ground and smashed me Into the Arena wall, then she ran her sword straight through my stomach, as I just groaned in pain.
But then suddenly I felt Alpha forcing his way out of my bracelet, and with a flash Alpha stood there in all his glory, standing protectively in front of me, at this Clarssie paused for a second uncertainty, but this gave Luke and Annabeth time to jump down from the stands and restrain Clarssie but unfortunately she escaped and with her final words of,"Long live Kronos" and dissappeared in a flash of golden light,while everyone was in a stunned silence unable to comprehend that one of the camps biggest fighters just betrayed the camp, while I just sat there slowly losing blood and it seemed that Alpha noticed this and unleashed a big howl that echoed around the Arena, but that caused everyone to look to Alpha who was inclining his head in my direction, Chiron was the first to notice "Get a medical team down there he's bleeding out, NOW" yelled out Chiron
And within a minute I could feel myself being put on a stretcher and being carried to the infirmary, Before my world went black
Third Person POV
Meanwhile back at the Arena, everyone was staring at the wolf who was just sitting there now content that Percy was safe, "Should we kill it" suggested one of Clarssie's brothers, "No you idiot it's obviously Percy's wolf if you were looking carefully you would of seen that he came out of the bracelet on Percy's wrist" Said Luke annoyed
"Yes I would appreciate it if you didn't try and kill me, and by the way my names Alpha" said the Wolf before walking away towards the infirmary.
"What the fuck Percy has a talking wolf, That's Awesome" said Luke a bit jealous.
Percy's POV
Percy's Dream
So this is the terrible demigod dreams I've been hearing so much about I thought.
As I awoke in a dark fortress of some kind but I immediately recognized it after I looked around a bit It was Mount Othrys the base of the Titans, but it was destroyed after the first Titan war, so I was confused as of how it was fully rebuilt. But forgot about it for now, while I decided to go to the place where I heard some noise coming from when I got there I was stunned by horror if what I saw there were thousands and thousands of monsters, at least 10 thousand of them. And I knew straight away if they attacked the camp, it would fall. As I carried on still looking in horror of what I saw, I started drifting away toward another room, having no control of what way I moved.
As I arrived In the next room I felt two very powerful powerful beings in the room but I could tell that they weren't at full power, the first one was definitely more powerful than an Olympian the other was around Olympian power level, the being that's around Olympian power was Kronos in Clarssie's body now that's pretty fucked I had no idea who the second being was I could tell she was a lady so I decided to listen in on there conversation to see if I can figure out who she was and of course to see if I could figure out there plans"-we must attack now" The woman was saying, "While the blessed one of my father is injured.
"Of course mother " said Kronos, "I will ready 3000 troops plus Hyperion immediately" "Who the Hades is Kronos's mother" I thought, then I remembered Kronos's mother is Gaia primordial of the earth, but I didn't know for sure even though I was pretty damm certain.
Then I felt the dream fading but instead of waking up like I expected, I was dragged into another dream
As I entered this dream I immediately felt a very powerful being, except I recognized the aura of power this being was emitting.
"Hello Lord Chaos, you look quite tired" I said respectively as possible
"Yes unfortunately I am quite tired and the reason for that is because of a power I gave you. The power where you can enter a pocket dimension it runs on my power and I'm afraid I misjudged how much power it would use."So do you want it back" I answered
"Not all of it just some of it" at my confused look he elaborated
I'm just going to take away the bit that when you enter the pocket dimension all time stops in the real world, so now when you enter your pocket dimension time will flow normally in the real world instead of if stopping. "Ok" I said understanding that must have taken a shit tone of power to tire the creator of the universe.
"And Percy before I awaken you the dream you had before this instead of the monsters attacking in three hour they will attack 20 minutes after you wake up, also my daughter Gaia is indeed helping Kronos rise, and now that he's risen she will rise her children the Giants. And when that happens you must be ready so I advise you to open up a pocket dimension every night. But I am also giving it a slight upgrade, when your in your pocket dimension you can create metal warrior's to attack you so you can practice in combat, and trust me your going to need the training.
"NOW AWAKEN" He Shouted dramaticly
And I immediately bolted up In the camps infirmary, only to be pushed back down by Luke Castellan head councillor of the Hermes cabin, and my best friend in camp.
"Will, I have to see Chiron it's very important" I insisted
"Nope sorry, doctors order you must stay here until your a full strength" he said
"Will, an army of 3000 monsters with Hyperion leading them will attack this camp in 20 minutes " I said starting to get angry
"How do you know for sure" he said
"Because I just had a dream and demigod dreams are nearly correct every time " I said getting quite angry, now this made him hesitate.
"Fine then we will both go to Chiron " he said finally relenting
As I got off the bed I was on, I immediately tripped on a big pile of fur, that I recognized as Alpha.
"He's been here since you got here and that was 2 days ago " said Will
"WHAT I've been out for 2 days" I said amazed
"Yeah, Annabeth visited you quite a lot, in fact you woke just after they left." He said as we arrived at the big house.
"Percy my boy, we've been worried sick about you, there were some times when we weren't sure you'd make it" said Chiron as he saw us
"Chiron, the camp will be attacked in about 15 minutes. We have to ready the camp, and pr-" I was saying until Chiron silenced me by raising his hand. "Calm down and tell me what you saw. After I told them my dream they both looked very troubled, not the with Chaos of course though. "If Gaia is rising to, this is very troubling, as she will most likely rise the giants now that Kronos has risen. "How am I meant to stop Kronos I'm only 15"I said panicking. We will discuss this later right now we need to warn the camp of the coming attack.
And just then the conch horn blew three times the signal of a attack.
