#poseidon is in the family guy death pose right now

[melishade]

Happy November to fellow EPIC the Musical fans! Yo, I’m not sure if you heard but the Vengeance Saga had everyone go bonkers!

I will say, Odysseus somehow defeating Poseidon with a windbag jetpack threw me off. That's like the one criticism I have, but the conversation after Poseidon gets picked up after Odysseus stabbed him repeatedly with his own trident is going to be hilarious.

The MC is a Valkyrie

Demigod MC Series: Intro

Greek: Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Athena, Hades Pt. 2, Poseidon, Ares, Hestia, Nyx

Norse: Valkyrie

A bit of a change of pace this time! No worries, I'm not done with the Greeks or anything. I just had this idea and wanted to get it out. 

Valkyries aren't really demigods, but are a part of Norse myth as the minor divinities that help choose and deliver fallen warriors to Valhalla to join the ranks of the einherjar (the souls who will fight when Ragnarok comes). Valkyries are depicted as women who are fierce warriors in their own right. Despite their place as the gatekeepers of the Chosen, they've been said to sometimes take heroes and mortals as lovers or take residence in Midgard posing as daughters of royals/nobility. 

Lucifer 

At first, they thought they grabbed an heiress - which would have been bad enough - but then the MC grew wings, drew a spear, and asked who among them wanted a glorious death...

How hard is it to find ONE damn human on Earth? Isn't that realm supposed to be full of them??

Diavolo was thankfully able to talk their winged friend down from skewering Asmo and accepting the exchange on behalf of the human wo-… Midgard. 

Living with a Valkyrie is different for sure. The MC is a proud woman who takes her role very seriously and she's seemingly deemed him and his brothers as candidates for einherjar (despite being demons).

He's tried many, many times to explain to her that they're not interested, but she's unconvinced. Now the MC watches his brothers like a hawk waiting to cart one of them off to Valhalla! Any mortal wound could be an excuse...

He's had to save Beel and Satan twice from getting dragged to that infernal palace… For whatever reason, she seems to have taken to them the most. Is it old Norse culture to favor the brash and strong? He has no idea...

At the very least, she knows better than to try to drag him into her little plans. Though he's sure he could qualify for the einherjar (obviously, why wouldn't he?) he has no interest in leaving his life here behind.

To think he'd actually have to put surveillance on his own brothers for their safety… But they're not going to get drafted into some ancient Norse war, not if he can help it.

Mammon 

She’s an heiress… An heiress!!

Well, her human world identity is an heiress to a well-respected (and rather magical) rich family but that still technically counts! She’s crazy loaded back there! He’s in love!!

The only problem is that in the Devildom she doesn’t have a cent.

… and the fact that she keeps trying to get him killed. That’s also a problem.

In a way, things are not as bad and exactly as bad as that sounds. The MC apparently wants him to go to Valhalla (dope) but she can’t just take him there… He technically has to die in some kind of “vallent battle” first.

Her solution? Pick fights with nearly anything that moves and drag him into it!

Honestly, it’s pretty annoying… Sometimes he just wants to have a fun night out without getting into a barfight, you know??

At least the MC can handle herself… Hell, he was her "babysitter" but she barely even needed him. A lesser demon once made the bad idea of trying to cup her ass and lost a hand for his trouble…

Though, what this amounts to is the MC starting something then fighting alongside him like back-to-back badasses while looking for any excuse to scoop him up and fly him to Asgard!

Why does he put up with this? Well for starters human world rich is still rich, all he has to do is get himself a portal then he's living the high life! And secondly, well… what's the harm?

Sure, she technically wants him dead but he's the secondborn! The list of people who can take him down is so slim that it's not like he's in any danger. She even fights with him so things are a piece of cake!

Is this a case where he's 100% more forgiving because she's rich? Yes. Absolutely. But a golddigger's gotta eat somehow, right?

Leviathan 

Is it weird to be jealous over someone not wanting you to die...?

Okay, that's an oversimplification but Levi can’t help but feel snubbed that the MC doesn’t have any interest in taking him to Asgard. Like, none! And why not??

He’s strong! He’s tough! He’s part snake too! Don’t the Nords have a thing about that? Like, there’s a giant snake they’re all worried about?? Maybe he could communicate with it!

Logically, Levi knows that he really shouldn’t press her on this… MC is pretty much a Grim Reaper with a Norse coat of paint and Asgard doesn’t really sound like his speed. No anime, no video games, not even cable! It’s just eat, train, and drink all day… Ew.

But still… What makes him an odd one out? 

At best, she just knows he wouldn't be happy there. At worst, she's underestimating his skill… or maybe she's gauged him just right? He's always known he was weak!! 😫

Oh well... at least she's not a bore to be around. Far from it. She treats EVERYTHING like a life or death trial - he's pretty sure that if he challenged her to rock, paper, scissors she'd commend him for his bravery and swear on her sisters that she won't lose.

He once made the mistake of inviting her and Simeon for a game of Devil Party and they both got so into it that they nearly had a duel to the death as a tiebreaker… 

Thank Devil that the game had a pre-programmed minigame for that kind of thing… It would have gotten messy otherwise.

Well, even if his other brothers go to Asgard, he can just chill out here with Lucifer and Asmo… right…? Actually, no, that sounds horrible! MC, he changes his mind!! Take him too!!! 😭

Satan 

How many times does he have to say that he doesn’t want to go to Asgard?!?

Well, okay that’s not entirely true. Out of scientific curiosity, seeing the godly realm of the old Nords would be fascinating but he doesn’t want to stay, which the MC seems to have trouble understanding…

He’s not even sure why she's singled him out for einherjar status… Any one of his brothers are powerful beings in their own right and he’s not particularly, uh, “even-tempered” himself...

His best guess is she saw him wipe out a handful of lesser demons at some point and declared him Ragnarok material. He always ends up throwing around at least three of those idiots a week so checks out… 

If he's being honest, her very existence raises so many questions… Does this mean that Ragnarok is real? Will the human world be swallowed up by the sea? Will the gods of Asgard fight and die as a new world is established? When??

Unfortunately, the MC won't tell him when it all will come to pass (he suspects even she doesn't know) just that Loki will trigger it… Someone keep tabs on that guy.

Until then, he just has to put up with her attempts to convince him but his patience is wearing thin… He's pretty sure he threw a bookshelf at her once but she caught it anyway so yeah...

He did challenge her to a proper duel too but… well let's say she's a Valkyrie for a reason and leave it at that. (Being saved by Lucifer was so humiliating… He's done here, move on already!!)

Asmodeus

First things first, she's gorgeous. Beautiful! Divine! (Literally 🤭)

Now that that's out of the way… She may also have a screw or two loose.

Like, he gets it. She's a Valkyrie and snapping up strong souls is her thing but come on… Mammon? Really? Why would he get into Valhalla instead of him, huh??

Why can't he get to go to the beautiful afterlife of the old Norse with all their strapping warriors, lovely maidens, and endless partying?? It's not fair!!

Ugh… and now she's got him sounding like LEVI! How frustrating…

Well, it may not be that bad. According to MC, he'd have to do battle training in Valhalla and that wouldn't really agree with his beauty routine. Like dirt, sweat, blood, and muscles? No thanks! Not for him.

He asked MC if he could get some kind of pass, but no dice… Maybe he could still convince her to let him vacation there… Or go for a visit? Just one? Surely that couldn't be so bad right?? He's heard that Thor looks NOTHING like people think he does and he's so curious!!

The closest he's ever gotten was challenging the MC to a fashion contest for a visit, but he dropped that idea quick when she proposed that they somehow include a wrestling match in the dressing room (and he knows she didn't mean the fun kind...)

As much as he'd love to get skin-to-skin with MC, the idea of getting locked in a chokehold was less appealing for some reason. 🤔

Ah well, he'll just have to make due admiring her wonderful body clothed for the time being… There's something to be said about muscular ladies, no?

Beelzebub 

So she’s almost convinced him to join the einherjar like twice now…

He’s not the best at making decisions when he’s hungry and the MC keeps hyping up the food… Apparently it’s really good up there and MC says that she’s never seen an empty platter... Just thinking about it makes his stomach do backflips.

Thankfully for him, Lucifer usually steps in before Beel can sign his soul away and reminds him that he can’t just abandon the family for a meal, even if it is a feast.

You'd think he'd be annoyed but Beel isn't really bothered by her habit of trying to bring everyone to Asgard. At least not on a personal level.

Like Lucifer, he doesn't want to see his family broken up so he'd rather she wouldn't… But she's a Valkyrie right? It's what she does. It's not like she can help it.

In a weird way, he also thinks she means well. She just respects them and wants them to have a good afterlife. It would be kind of sweet if they didn't have to die for it first…

If he's being honest, he's not that worried about it anyway. His family is pretty tough, not a lot in the Devildom can take them down. As long as they're careful, everybody should be alright. 🙂

Maybe he could get MC to make some Valhallan food for them in the Devildom… Or he could get one of those immortality apples?? Though those would extend his life wouldn't they…? Oh well...

Belphegor 

Belphie's attempt to kill the MC went something like this:

Belphie: *switches to his demon form* "I can't believe you actually trusted me!"

MC: *blinks* "Oh. So you want to challenge me then?"

Belphie: "What?"

MC: "Ah, now I see! You want to fight to prove your valor then die by my hand??"

Belphie: "What are yo-??"

MC: *summons wings and golden spear* "I like your spunk, demon!! Fight me with all you have and perhaps I'll take you to Valhalla! May you join us in our fight as a brother!!"

Belphie: "What the hell are you talking about!?!"

To his credit, he put up a good fight and probably would have gotten into Asgard if Lucifer hadn't intervened to save his life.

It can be said that the MC's Valkyrie-hood took Belphie completely by surprise. Sure, he thought she was a little weird for a "human" but challenging him to a duel to the death? That came out of nowhere!

His uneasiness about her only grew after he found out that she's been literally trying to get Beel killed! How in the world were his brothers so relaxed about this?? She's insane!!

So say what you will about the MC, but she's managed to do the impossible. She got Lucifer and Belphie to make up and work together on something! (i.e. making sure she doesn't send them all to their deaths)

Between Lucifer monitoring his brothers and Belphie watching the MC, they'll keep everybody in the Devildom where they belong. That's a promise!

[alyrae13]

Alright, time to explain my weeb ass! As promised, I’m gonna tell the reasons why I like each Gold Saint and why I see them as the way I do. Keep in mind, I’ll also may have to make this into two parts because of how long this would be in one single post, so please bare with me! Anyway, onward ho!!!

Libra Dohko

Starting off simple! Being a Libra myself, it’s easy to see that I would like this cool madafaka; He’s basically a better, more sensible version of Yoda. The reason I don’t feel very attracted to him is because I see him as the badass grandfather type, like the cool Chinese grandfather that could teach you how to kick ass while also being chill enough to unwind during tea time. 100% Dope Grandpa through and through.

Taurus Aldebaran

Now for the other one! Alde is a man who’s sweet as sugar cane yet as powerful as a raging bull. Despite his height, he’s a kind man when off the battle field and ready to fight for Athena when on said battle field. He’s not a character I’m attracted to because I see him as a strong yet sweet uncle figure who’s ready to stand alongside ya in both normal life and when fighting. He’s a tender giant of a man who supports those around him. Gentle Giant Uncle 100%.

Capricorn Shura

Now we go on to the tricky stuff. Shura, dear god do I love him. His character ideology is just so interesting due to the differences between the manga and anime. Wielder of the holy sword Excalibur, he could cut you to bits and think nothing of it. There’s also a possible angst hanging over him; He was the one sent to kill off Aiolos, knowing well how it would have affected little Aiolia. Imagine the amount of guilt he had for killing someone’s only family member? Even worse when you take the consideration of him realizing that he was willing to kill an innocent man without knowing about it, meaning he now knows he just tore a family apart and cause so much pain in vain. And please don’t get me even started on the Hades Saga and Soul of Gold. His character is just so great to me and I’m glad he was able to get on good terms with Aiolia in Soul of Gold. Plus, he’s a sexy Spanish man who’s super loyal, so why wouldn’t I love him?

Aquarius Camus

Camus, oh boy... Camus is someone who just gives me a whole array of emotions despite him not openly expressing them himself. On the surface, he is rather cold and distant due to not wanting to draw people into despair by showing exasperation, yet he’s still in control of his emotions rather than just suppressing them. His willing to fight for his ideals and for what he believes as correct (Soul of Gold anybody?), and although his way of teaching Hyoga is questionable at best, his only doing what he thinks will make Hyoga stronger as a saint. Despite being a man who appears uncaring and emotionless, he really isn’t. After all, we’re taking about the same man who one stated about hating people who mourn over the past yet also deeply cares for his pupil and about being true to his word to an old friend. Camus is a man who truly cares for those around him despite him appearing otherwise. He’s also a Frenchman, and who doesn’t love a beautiful French?

Gemini Saga and Kanon

Oh good grief this will be a long explanation. For the sake of respect and love for these two, I’ll be going over them individually because why not make this post into a full on essay?

Frist of all, Saga, poor Saga. Dear lord the amount of trauma this man had to go through is just heartbreaking. A man with an undying loyalty to Athena with an evil split personality... A more tragic version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Not only was he forced to see his evil side kill Pope Shion and take over his identity, he had to see him try to kill baby Athena and send another saint to kill Aiolos; And he had to endure that fact for thirteen years. By the time he was finally free of his evil half, he was practically begging his beloved goddess to forgive him for all the hurt he caused. A powerful yet tragic man indeed. Then there is his relationship with Kanon (of who we’ll talk about in a moment), because it’s also a little sad. Kanon was definitely, a bit of a traitorous prick in the beginning and it was his imprisonment that led to Saga’s split personality in the first place. Yet you could still say that they at least cared for each other despite all the bullshit they must’ve gone through whilst growing up, because Saga was definitely happy in the Hades arc when he found his brother fighting for Athena.

Now for Kanon, fucking Kanon who despite starting out as an infidel of a man, then became a great character in the same vain as his brother Saga. Dude wanted to overthrow the Pope and kill baby Athena but ended up getting his butt locked in Cape Sounion. Now we know what happens there; Finds trident, get’s Poseidon half awakened, poses as the Sea Dragon and yada yada. It’s only when fighting Ikki does he end up changing because it’s then when Ikki told him the only reason he’s even alive is because of Athena’s Cosmo. So, plans in scrambles and now possibly gripped with an overwhelming sense of guilt, he goes over to Athena and without skipping a beat, becomes a shield against Poseidon‘s trident and begs Athena to forgive him before falling unconscious. And of course, we know about everything in Hades arc.

In the end, both men are equally cherished characters of mine and I won’t have it any other way. Also their handsome Greek men who need hugs and kisses and need to be told that they are loved and appreciated, so...

Cancer Deathmask

Oh Deathmask, you beautiful bastard you... Now Deathmask is more of an asshole than Kanon for reasons we all know at this point but I’m guessing his behavior could be explain simply due to the fact he is literally surrounded by death everyday. Like seriously, is it really a surprise that he’s like this when he’s constantly exposed to seeing the souls of the living fall right into practically hell? Nobody would be the same if they had to endure that, especially since most likely he started training to become a saint at a very early age. Now, this is when Soul of Gold comes into play, because god damn it how they wrote his character is just something. Firstly, he’s shown to be an gambling addict and an alcoholic, clearly unhealthy coping mechanisms for not being able to use his cloth and you know, being exposed to death at an early age and onwards for most of his life. Then we have Helena; Now, I’m not gonna lie, the whole ‘Changed better because of love’ trope is very much old at this point but it’s kinda ok because it shows us ‘Hey, even he has the opportunity to change and become a good man’. Deathmask, despite all the things he’s done against mankind, still has the potential to become an honorable Gold Saint and a decent human being; Plus his a sexy Italian who can rock the goatee look, so yay for the crab.

Pisces Aphrodite

Ah yes, the beloved fish boi. Honestly, I love his character simply because he breaks so many boundaries that it would be hard for me not to like him. He plays into the whole ‘appearances can be deceiving’ stick so well; He looks feminine yet his personally is quite the opposite (to some extent). His personality is something that’s interesting to me as well; Despite being so god damn beautiful, he doesn’t act narcissistic at all and doesn’t even care about having his appearance messed up in battle. HIs belief that power and strength are the most beautiful things in the world speaks fucking volumes to me and explains why he was willing to follow the False Pope’s orders. His character in Soul of Gold was just great as well! Like, to see his abilities and power being fully used to it’s full potential was simply badass and I doubt others won’t disagree with me on that one; He was definitely key in the story despite showing little of him. That’s way I love him so much; He’s a gorgeous Swede who can kick your ass and think little of it. He’s the type of man who will look damn good beating you up while shrugging off any damage to his figure like a frickin’ boss... He’s just that dope.

OK, that’s the first part of this really long post; Honestly this took me nearly an entire day to write, like, really. I had to take a break and ended up taking a nap before finishing this, it was that long. Hope many of you agree with my reasons for loving these characters so far and if not, that’s ok! Opinions are fine as long as no one gets hurt, so it’s fine if you don’t like them like I do! Anyway, I’m just gonna rest now because my fingers are killing me. Have a great day guys!

Twins Of Olympus

The Spear and The Bow

Chapter 2

Last chapter: “Zeus wasn't this anger when his bolt was stolen, what's going on up there,” said Annabeth “it's been going on all day maybe when Mr.D comes back will hear what happened” suggested Piper

“Run!” I heard my Mom yell as I hear a hissing sound, I stop, knowing what's about to happen “no, Mom!” I yell out as turn to her but it was too late the python was already eating her. “MOM!!” I yell out as I jump up my hand reaching out from the bed “aagk” I arch in pain from my ribs, wait bed? no, I was in a car with Mom and Lana, how did I-, just then a flood gate of memories come swimming into my head. 

the event at school the car ride t-t-the car crash “no, no no god no, please it was just a dream, let it be a dream” I mumble out ignoring the sound of a door opening, “hey kid, it's okay” said a male “no..no it's not my….Mom's gone… How is it okay” I tell him, wait who is this guy and where's Lana “ Lana!, where's my sister” I demanded. 

“She's right next to you” he said as he got up and walked away I turned to see Lana on another bed sleeping there, I get off the bed, almost falling when my feet hit the floor, but luckily I gained my balance  “ Lana wakes up, hey wake up” I call to her well gently shaking her “five...five more minutes” she whines out then suddenly sits up straight “Mom!” She shouts “sis she's...she’s gone,” I tell her “no, that was just a dream we, w-w-we were on are summer vacation it was all a-a DREAM!.” 

She shouted as fresh tears rolled down her face, I hugged her close as we cried together for our dead mother.

********

It took thirty minutes for us to fully calm down in that time the guy from before Will gave us a drink and some crackers. “Where are we?” I ask him as Lana sips her drink, which she says taste like the cherry slushy she loves so much but I doubt it, because mine tasted like Sprite and the crackers too tasted like Mom's blueberry muffins, strangely after eating my ribs stopped hurting “someone else will tell you what this place is, but for now your in the medical cabin of are camp” he says, just then the cabin door opened. 

Who came in were three people, two teen men and a guy in a wheelchair, “oh good, your up it's nice to meet you..” he posed “Lance McClain and this is my twin sister Lana, where are we exactly?” I ask him as the two teens pull up a set next to Will.

 “Let's see, first those two over there are the ones who brought you here, his name is Percy the other Jason” said the wheelchair guy as he pointed them out nervous I looked to them “well thanks then-” I try to tell them but the blond, Jason just shocked his head “we didn't do anything worth mentioning.” 

The Raven haired, Percy nodded in agreement “if I can ask, are you named after the demigod Perseus” Lana asked “yes, I am my Mom named me after him, because he was the only other one with a happy ending in the Greek stories” he explained, I chuckle from that “what?” He asked, “nothing, just that it sounds like the water down version, of what are Mom did for our names.” 

I tell him “how so?” he asked “are name is actually an acronym of all are legal names first letters combined” Lana expenses “so what are they?” Jason asked, but was interrupted when the door was almost flung opened, on the other side stood “Henry?!” Lana and I said together as he and Shay and Rex!? ran towards us, giving us a heartfelt hug. 

“Are you ok? Did you eat any of the things Will gave you? do you feel alright, does it hurt anywhere?” Henry and Shay kept asking as they entered Mother hen mode “guys, guys stop we're ok, yes we ate the snack he gave us” Lana tells them as she gently pulls Shay of her. 

“What I want to know is, how are you three here?” she asks “what are you talking about? this the camp we go to every year” Shay said confused “but Mom was driving us here the entire time, why would she think a camp could keep us safe from...from…them” Lana pondered “ok how should we say this” Henry said, “say what?” Lana and I said together …. they didn't say a thing only looking at us, as they both backed away till they were next to Rex.

 “Guys?” I asked we sat in silence for a short time till Henry couldn't take the tension any longer “it's real!” well that's not what I expected “wha-” Lana started but was stopped when Rex held out his hand in it was a seed “we know you have a green thumb, and all but-” I was stopped when the seed in his hand started to grow till a little tree was in his hand which bore two red apples.

********

“AAAAH” screamed Lana and I as we jumped back in shock, we could have fallen off the bed had Will not been behind us, “how, just how” I ask as I got closer to the small tree, Lana picked an apple out and bit it “humm...holy crow it's real” she says between bits “Rex, how did you do that?” I ask him he takes the small tree and hands it to Shay “it's all real, all those stores and myths you guys read about, it's all real gods, demigods the whole shebang.” 

He says in a flat tone as if he didn't just shatter our whole world “so you're telling us, that Titans, Giants, and other Greek monsters are real” Lana asks “yes, yes and yes” Rex said “then, for you to grow a literal tree in seconds makes you guys..” I pose as he nodded “are Mom is Demeter” he says “goddess of the harvest” I mumbled out “and Will is the son of Apollo” he continued “God of the sun” Lana said as we look at the blonde teen “yeah, but it's not a big deal” he says scratching his neck as if being the son of the freaking sun god is nothing “and Percy is the son of Poseidon.” 

Said Henry knowing that was my favorite freaking god “what!” I yell out looking at the Raven teen “man that's so cool, can you breathe underwater? can you talk to fish? how about horses, can you turn into a horse? Oh my gosh can you control water” I ask him as I try to get out of bed but was stopped when Lana held my shirt “sorry, Poseidon is his favorite” she says “really that's great, and yes to all of those Lance expect for the horse changing part, but I got a somewhat cousin who can” he says “and Jason here is son of Zeus.”

 He added which caused us to flinch “ooooh” we said which surprised the three teens and the wheelchair guy “well most people think being the son of the king of gods is cool” Jason said jokingly “most people don't read the original version of what happened to most of Zeus's kids” Lana said.

 “Yeah, her wrath is something I never want to see” I add in “wait, are you talking about Ha-” started Percy but we shouted over him “don't say the wrathful one's name!”  Lana shouts out “are you afraid of her, why?” Said Percy, we looked at him as if he just said the stupidest thing on earth “hello, did you not read about what she did to Dionysus and his foster parents or Hercules.” 

Said Lana “sis, it's Heracules, that's the one the Romans gave him remember” I corrected her for fun “yes, thank you, Lance, she drove people into madness, she's crazy” I knew that wasn't a good idea when lightning suddenly struck “I don't think to call the God of lightning’s wife the C word is a good idea sis” I tell her “yeah, good point” she said back “are they always like this?” asked Percy to Shay, Rex and Henry “yes, yes they are” answered, Rex. 

“They'll talk your ear off on different theories, they have on why the Trojan war, should have ended and thought up other strategic moves they could have used at that time,”  said Henry “hey!” Lana and I shouted at them “don't worry, their fun and it's helped us a lot when we have mythology battles with the Athena cabin” add Shay but we still pouted. Till we heard someone chuckle, we looked up to see it was the wheelchair guy. 

“well it seems like you two are well educated” he said “we asked our Mom once why we have to learn this and she said it was because some of her family was from Greece and ‘to know oneself, one must know there own bloodline’ or something like that” Lana said “I see she must have been a wonderful Mother” said wheelchair guy “she was” I said  “where's her body” Lana asked which put everyone to silence “we were able to gather up most of the pieces, she's in the big house right now, we used some magic to preserve her” said wheelchair guys “h-how long” I asked. 

“As long as you two will wish” he said “we're not ready” is all Lana said “I understand, would you two like to be alone” he asked “no that's...that's the last thing anyone who's lost someone should be” I tell him “ then come along then,” he said as he wheeled towards the door “wait, we never got your name” Lana said as we both got out of the bed “Chiron”

*******

“The trainer of heroes!” we say together as Chiron wheels out the door “but I thought he was a center” I said, at that moment he did the getting up movement and out came his other half “does that answer your question brother” she said as Chiron walked down the steps of the medical cabin we followed behind to catch up along with Shay, Rex and Henry, and Percy and Jason.

 “So, is this really camp-half blood, home to demigods” Lana asked as we entered an area full of cabins of the twelve Olympian gods and some minor ones to “whoa” I said looking around all the cabins “there all so, unique” Lana said as we looked at all the cabins, from the Apollo cabin which at first glance, it looks like an ordinary cabin, but when hit by sunlight it looks as if it's made of solid gold, and gleams so much that it is difficult to look at.

 “That must get old pretty quick” I said “ not as much as the Areas cabin” said Percy “what, the God of ruthless war let's see where is it” Lana said “cabin #5 it very flamboyant” Percy said and he was right the Ares cabin was scruffily painted with an angry red color, has barbed wire lining the roof, and a stuffed boar's head on the doorway. The eyes of the boar seem to stare at whoever is walking by, creepy. 

Is that rock music blaring from within? “It looks like a death trap,” Lana said taking a few steps back “the Poseidon cabin looks pretty cool,” I said walking towards the cabin, Poseidon's cabin is low, long and solid, with all the windows facing the sea. The outer walls are a rough gray stone with pieces of seashell and coral and look like the bottom of the ocean floor. 

“Whoa” as I was about to enter the cabin someone stopped me “I wouldn't do that if I were you,” said a male voice I look up to see a teen with black messy, shaggy hair and pale ghost skin. He wore black pants and shirt with a white skeleton head on it with a black leather bomber jacket, I looked into his eyes, which were dark brown and could be compared to black even, for some reason this person felt weird, yet oddly comforting he felt like

********

“Death,”  I said confused I, then shake my head “wha-what, sorry I-I’m sorry about that, I have no idea why I just said that.” 

I tell him “hey, what did you mean that we couldn't go into the cabines?” Lana asked “if you’re not their child, you're not allowed to be in the cabines,” said Henry “wait, who’s your godly parent Henry?” Lana asked “oh, it’s Hephaestus” he answered, “can you make a metal flying bird?” I asked him as we walked and saw all the different cabines “I’m not that good at crafting celestial bronze guys, maybe are councilor Leo may be able to, I heard he was able to fix a bronze dragon, that none of my other siblings were able to.”

  He explained as we walked out of the cabin area “LOOK OUT!” someone shouted just then an arrow was flying towards Lana, “sis!” I shouted, a second before the arrow could make contact a shield of water formed around her, stopping it in its tracks, it was Percy with his outstretched hand that made it, as the water shield dissolved dropping the arrow “oh my god, are you alright?” I ask her as I checked her over. 

“Lance, I’m alright, the shield protected me” she tells me but that was close, too close what if no one could have acted in time, that was just why to reckless, I pick up the arrow “hey, sorry about that I wasn't paying at-” the demigod pre-teen was interrupted, when in my anger throw the arrow back at him missing by a hair cutting his cheek “you’re could have seriously hurt her, or worse so be.careful.” 

I tell him  as I turn back around to see everyone but Rex, Shay, Henry, and Lana all have shocked looks, “what?” I ask them “y-you just though an arrow at him,” said Percy “without a bow” adds Jason “with such force” continued Nico “and accuracy” included Chiron “yup, 8 years of archery and kickboxing, and 9 years of gymnastics can do that to you.” 

I explained “Lance” Lana called out from behind, turning to her she was looking at the camp training grounds, there was a large metal shed around the size of Athena's cabin, “hey what's that huge thing over there?” I ask Chiron “that Lance is the camps army, we keep all our weapons in there.” 

He explains as we walked to it “in here new demigods get their weapons” he said “then let's go in” said Lana as she and I both ran in “no, no, no you two and weapons is not a good idea” whined Henry but we ignored him as we opened the doors. We saw shelves full of sword, knives, and shields

**********

“is that a shotgun” Lana pointed out as I went to go pick it up “no.” Said Henry as he blocked my path “but” I started “no” said Rex “I didn't even-” I tried to explain but “sorry, Lance but no” said Shay I dramatically gasp at her “you wound me Shay” I say as I place a hand on my heart “hey, Lance take this bow and arrow” Lana said as she handed me the items “sweet, take the spear” I said well handing the 6’0 spear to her “wait, you three won't let them have a gun, but bows and arrows and a 6 foot spear is fine.”

 The emo teen pointed out “you see Nico these two are very skilled at many things even gunplay, but I still wouldn't let those two anywhere near a gun, after last time” said Henry “oh- come on man it was one time” I tell him “one time too many!” he says back “should weee…” asked Jason “you don't wanna know” all five of us say together as we got out of the army.  

With the arrows on my back and bow in hand, up next was a “is that a wall of lava” I say detected “yes, yes it is and it hurts, good luck” said Shay note to self avoid lava day like the plug. up next was the arena “this young one, is the training area, this is where you will learn to hone your skills” Chiron explained as we entered the grounds, suddenly everyone seemed to stop fighting “why are they staring at us?’ Lana whispered “maybe it’s because of Percy and Jason” I replied. “No it’s not,” said a girl “what-” I turned to see a girl around 9 or 10 standing right behind us, She has brown eyes, fair skin, and disheveled light brown hair. 

Which formed two spikes on either side of her head and unruly bangs. She had on wire-framed, round, circular glasses with fake lenses, “hi there, kid?” I said, “yo, the names pidge, well it’s actually Katie but I thought the name pidge sounded better so I changed it, so is it true you two killed the Minotaur AND the python all by yourselves.”

 Holy Hare, it's like her mouth is a power box of its own, is this how Percy felt before, “umm...yeah hi….Pidge I’m Lance and...this is my twin sister Lana” I  said “HI!” she yelled out happily “hey!” shouted a female voice, we looked around to see a light tan skinned curly haired blonde running towards us with a boy who looked like an exact copy of pidge, but taller “hi, Annabeth.” 

Shouted Percy as the two people got closer “hi Matt” said pidge “hey Pidge” said the pidge clone, Matt “did you guys find anything?” asked Jason “nope, whatever it's purpose is we don't know, we even asked all are siblings for help” said Annabeth. “Chiron, are you sure you don't know what that eye can do?” asked Percy “afraid not Percy” replied Chiron “wait, what are you guys talking about?” I asked “oh, sorry we're talking about this,” said Annabeth as she held out a marble sized amber ball with gold flakes circling around a black line.

 “What is it?” Lana asked as she reached out to touch it “here, you can hold it” as she was handed the marble ball it started glowing, one second I was on the training ground the next Lana and I are in the air “whaaaaaaa!!??!?” I shout as we feel back down to earth, out of fear I closed my eyes thinking this was the end, then I suddenly landed on something “man, kid you're heavy” I heard someone say “what?!” opening my eyes to see that a black horse with wings had caught me. 

Holy hell I’m on a pegasus wait, “d-did you say something?” I asked the horse which replied in naah and some rough sounds, “ok, the horse was not talking, hold on Lorenzo or you'll lose your mind, right si-LANA!?!”

*******

I yelled as I realized she wasn't behind me “u-up here” I heard her voice looking up she was on a horse which looked made out of lightning and thunder,  “cool horse.” I said as the lighting horse flies down right next me “cool to look at but not ride, this feels so weird” she says as she holds onto the horse for dear life, well to us flying on anything in general felt weird, it’s always been a problem for us even the plane ride here was a stressful one, as we slowly flow down I realized just how high we really were “oh wow, sis what happened?” I asked, “I have no idea, I was holding on to the marble ball to the sky and suddenly BAME, were falling from the sky.” 

She explains as we decreased further and further down till the camp didn't look like a dot anymore, as the horse finally got us closer to the campfire where everyone was “hi everyone” I said as we finally touched the ground. I quickly got off the horse “oh thank god, Mother Earth I missed you” I said laying on the ground, “can someone help me? Please” Lana asked still on the thunder horse “I got you, you can let go” said a guy he has a broad face and a strong jaw, piercing dark gray eyes and a long, straight nose, he has pale skin and dark hair styled in an undercut he helped lift her off the horse.

 “Thank you” she said as she too laid on the ground “are you going to be ok?” the guy before asked “yes, I'm fine, I- we just really hate flying on...anything” she explained “hey, can someone please explain what just happened” I asked as if a dam was broken a bunch of blond campers comes rushing towards us. But were stopped by the two horses as they jumped up and down, which freaked everyone out even more, till a loud sharp whistle was let out “hey!” yelled the girl, Annabeth which cot everyone's attention “back off” she said as she and everyone else from before followed behind.

 “Are you two alright” she asked as Shay ran up to Lana and Henry to me well Rex stayed behind “let's see, I just got flung like 200 feet in the air, and got rescued by a horse made of thunder and lightning, other than me wanting to bury myself in the earth, I’m feeling great.” 

She said but I couldn't tell if she was being serious or sarcastic, “now can some just tell us how all, that happened” she asked as Shay and Henry  helped us both get on our feet “well you two where gliding down, we all had a discussion about what might have caused the eye to do that.” explained Matt “eye? what eye?” Lana asked “the amber marble, it was the python’s eye,” said Annabeth “Lana do you still have it?” Asked Matt “no I think I-” she started but after checking her pants pocket she pulled something out she held the amber eye “I could have sworn I dropped it,” she said then she turned and throw the eye as far as she could causing everyone to freak out.

 “I think, it landed in that lack” is all she said, “why did you do that!” Said Matt but Lana didn't answer instead she checked her pockets again and there it was the amber eye “how? what?” She said to herself well inspecting the eye. Then I somehow found myself and her back in the medical cabin, “ok….that actually worked” she said “Lana what's going on? why and how are we teleporting” I ask her but instead she ignores me, now where in the armory “Lance, I think this eye takes me, and you for some reason to places I've been to on camp.” 

she explains as I find us right back to the campfire with everyone looking up and running around like headless chickens, “THERE RIGHT HERE!!!” I heard a camper shout as everyone ran towards us “ARE YOU TWO ALRIGHT!!" yelled Percy and Jason as they dismounted off each other's horses. As they raced to us "umm….yeah?" Lana said knowing this was her fault "how did that happen, for the past two days we've tried everything but it never worked" said Matt  "wait, did you just say two days" I ask him "yes, you two were asleep for two days" explained a girl with black hair and sky blue eyes.

 "Lana, how did you make the eye work?" Asked Annabeth "I was just thinking of a place to test it out" she said "why" asked Chiron "well because last time I was looking at the eye with the sun's light, and I thought about the sky of how clear it was then when we were in the infirmary, and well when the eye came back to my hand even though I knew I dropped it, I was testing it out if my theory was correct, sorry if I worried you guys" as everyone looked at her wondering (how did she say that in one breath) no? just me, ok.

*******

After the whole teleporting dilemma it was discovered that only Lana can us the eye. well of course she was the one who killed the thing, I just aimed anyway after, that train ride all the campers went off to eat as we walked to the eating grounds I asked Chiron a question "hey Chiron, I gotta ask, but who's are godly parent?" he looked at me for a moment before answering "Lance we don't think you two are any gods children" which surprised us. 

"If we're not any gods children then what are we?" Lana asked "we believe that you're a decadent, a child of a demigod," said the emo guy, Nico? "How do y'all know that" I asked him, he then looked at Chiron who nodded "when your Mom died, before death could take her she was able to talk to us" what are Moms ghost talked to them, but why "why, what did she say" Lana asked as she stopped walking so did I "at first she was sorry."

 Said Percy "why would she be I'm the one-" "NO YOU'RE NOT" I yell at her "Moms death wasn't you're doing, so don't blame yourself for something you have no control over," I tell her because she has to- no she needs to hear this. "Chiron what does are Moms ghost talking to them have to do with this" I ask him trying to change the subject as its only us and Percy, Jason and Nico "because to be able to glow the way she did, can only mean that she was a daughter of Hades" said Nico "so you're saying, you think are Mom was a child of Hades," Lana said

*******

“that explains a whole lot of things” I said finally realizing why Mom was the way she was “what do you mean” Percy asked “Mom was a mortician, well also assisting as a pathologist when needed at times when she couldn't get a babysitter she would bring us to her work, it was fun at first” Lana empaneled  “till I realized in second grade most kids didn’t know how to do an autopsy and how to properly dissect a human body.” 

I told the three teens and Chiron who gave us looks of shocks “you don't mind being related to the god of death?” Nico asked, “why, should we?” I asked him as we made it to the hilltop to see where we would eat, the place was framed in Greek columns on a hill that overlooks the sea. 

There are no walls or roof that cover the mess hall. Torches blaze from the columns and a central fire burning inside a bronze brazier the size of a bathtub, “welcome to the dining Pavilion” Chiron said “the rule is, when you gather your food give a portion of it to the gods” explained Nico which confused me “gods like burned food?” Lana asked “yes, they do” Percy answers as we walked to the stakes and split me, Lana and Nico all said on table 13 and just like the rest had each table has a white cloth with purple trim. 

Just as the wood nymphs had served us, Lana tapes my shoulder “hum?” I asked her all she does is point at a gray crack in the middle of the Pavilion, what happened there? I thought, as  Nico guided us to fire to sacrifice are food “just say or think of the god and throw your food in” he said as we did it together “Hades” we said together. Expecting the smook to smell bad, we took a step back but instead it smelled good, “well that's a surprise” Lana said as we walked back “this cup is empty” Lana said as she held up the goblet “yeet” I said causing us both to laughter “I don’t get it, what's so funny?” Nico asked “wait, you don’t know what vine is,” I ask him, and to my horror he did “ok I got you, lucky I have it saved up on my pho-” it wasn’t there. 

“Where’s my phone” I asked Nico “I think Chiron has it, we took all your electronics and shut them off for all our safety” he explained “but why how could are phones be dangerous” asked Lana “phones are like monster hotspot, they can track you down much faster when you use them” ok no more phone calls.

 I thought “this cup is still empty” Lana said sounding a bit irritated “just say what kinda drink you want”  he said as Lana said her favorite red cherry slushy and I a sprite, as we aight are food till it was time for us to go, as we walked to the Hades cabin which was The cabin walls are made of solid obsidian and a skull is hung over the doorway. There are torches that burn Greek fire, The cabin is windowless. 

“Cool is that real greek fire?” Lana asked Nico who nodded “awesome,” I said as we entered the cabin, the beds where coffin shaped with polished mahogany frames, brass railings, blood red velvet pillows, and sheets. 

There was also a small shrine with bones and jewels as we laid in the beds, “ok this is freaking cool” Lana said “yeah, it’s like we're vampires” I said “dobri momčinja” she said “what?” asked Nico but all we got where happy giggles before she covered herself in sheets “she does this a lot” I tell him as we fall asleep.

*******

Silanty getting up Nico quietly opened the cabinet door, not wanting to wake the twins up, as he walked out the door and towards the big house “did I miss anything?” he asked as he took a seat around the pool table. 

“No, we just started, how are the twins?” asked Jason “they're fast asleep,” he replied “do we have anything about them?” asked Annabeth “nope, they seem well knowledged about greek and roman and I'd say if I didn't already see there ghost Mother my first guess would be for them to be children of Athena or Apollo.” 

Chiron explained “I heard the kid throw an arrow at another camper without a bow, is that true” asked Clarissa “yes” all of those who saw what Lance did all said “do you think they're the ones?” asked Piper “from last years prophecy, I don't know but I just hope they're not, not only did they lose their mother but also thrust into this whole gods and monsters world.” 

Percy said “come on guys the prophecy said twines and there the first twins to come here all year” said Piper “but it also said ‘Twins of the eldest gods’ so it has to deal with a god or goddess”  aid Percy try to justify that the twins aren't the ones chosen for the privacy “how about your father maybe-” stated Piper but was stopped “that's impossible Piper if a child of Poseidon was born especially ones with Hades decadent, then no monster on earth could ignore that much power.” 

Said Thalia “this is so hard” said Leo “it seems we don’t have many leads, so if the twins aren't claimed by Lord Poseidon or any other god or goddess by the end of the summer or their birthday then they weren't chosen for the prophecy” said Chiron as they were all dismissed.
