Okay, first of all, I am sorry that the last chapter had such a stupid ending. I was drowsy with sleep and couldn't think. Anyway, I am determined to make this chapter longer than 1,000 words.
Piper P.O.V.
Wow. When I was reading Spyrite's past on her iLite (which somehow switched to Greek lettering when I grabbed it), there were almost no details. It just said that she was abandoned by her father and banished from her home. I can't imagine my father doing that to me.
According to the iLite, Spyrite lived in a kingdom called Northe, which was located somewhere in the Arctic Circle. Her father was named King Unyci, and her mother Queen Heratyh (AN: Pronunciation: Hair-at-tah).
The king was an Energyv, a Nyv which controlled the energy of his people. He could escalate it, so that the subject could lift ten men, or drain it away until the subject could hardly move. He had dark brown hair, and rainbow irises with silver pupils. He was proud, greedy, and a bigot, who apparently abandoned Spyrite during what the iLite called 'The Great Gifting.'
His wife, Heratyh, on the other hand had been a beautiful Windyv, a Nyv who could control the air and its currents. She had light silvery blue eyes, and raven hair. She had been kind, firm, and homely, and had loved her daughter.
Then, when Spyrite was four, she had passed away from a mysterious disease that made the contaminated person die in a slow, painful death. When I read that, I almost burst into tears. Eww… my Aphrodite side is showing.
According to how the Nyv's developed, on their eighth birthday they were 'Gifted.' When they are Gifted, the special attribute that separates them from the rest of the Nyvs is revealed. They gain this Gift based on their personality, and based on what their Gift is their scales become glossy and gain color. Before then, they were just dull and mud colored; from birth to birthday eight. That was when their social rank was decided. The more powerful a Nyv was, the higher on the social ladder they were.
There were nine possible Gifts for a Nyv to receive, and they were grouped into three categories. The first category was the Common Gifts. It contained the three gifts that most Nyvs were likely to receive, gaining them a title of 'peasant' on the social ladder.
The first Gift was Plantyv, the Gift of Plants. It gives a Nyv the power to communicate with plants and choose the formation they grow in, and turns their scales a light spring green. The second Gift was Stonyv, the Gift of Stones. These Nyvs were grey, and had the power to change a stone from one form to another, like from granite to diamond. The last Gift was Weathryv, the Gift of Weather. They had light sky colored scales and had the power to change a cloud's type, like cumulus to stratus, and the really experienced Weathryvs had the power to summon lightning and rain.
After the Common Gifts were the Uncommon Gifts. These Gifts weren't likely to be received by Nyvs, but there was a few of them in each generation.
The first Gift was Firyv, the Gift of Fire. These Nyv's had a variety of scales ranging from scarlet to gold, and had the power to control the leaping tongues of flame which come from a fire. The most talented of the Firyvs had the power to summon fire from within, and all Firyvs had the title of 'Lord' or 'Lady'. The second Gift was Wateryv, the Gift of Water. These Nyvs were colored from a range of colors from light green to dark blue, and had the power to control anything that originated from water or is made of it. They, like the Firyvs, were bestowed the title of 'Lord' or 'Lady,' but were slightly less revered.
The two other Uncommon Gifts, Earthyv and Windyv both had the social status of 'Duke' or 'Duchess.'
Earthyv, the Gift of Earth, gave the Nyv darker scales that were usually dirt brown or forest green, and the power over the ground of Earth. They could levitate stones with their horns (all Yvs have horns) and could shape sand and keep it there. Windyv, the Gift of Wind, gave Nyvs a silvery blue coat, and power over the currents of air. They could shape breezes to lift up objects, and cause tornadoes and hurricanes. Windyvs were especially known for being very beautiful.
Then there were the Rare Gifts. There were hardly ever any Nyvs who had the characteristics to receive the Rare Gifts. When there was one however, that Nyv was immediately named King or Queen. There were only two Rare Gifts, Energyv and Lightyv. Energyv was the more common of the two Rare gifts, and it gave the Nyv rainbow scales with an iridescent shine like no other. The Gift gave you the power of energy, which the Energyv could drain from enemies and give to friends. The current king of Northe was Unyci, an Energyv and Spyrite's father.
The Lightyvs, the Gift of Day, was the most powerful of all Gifts, rivaled only by that of a Darknyv. The Gift of Lightyv gave the Nyv shining golden scales that had silver mixed in. There were dozens of powers a Lightyv could have; it all depended on the personality of the Nyv with the Gift.
There was another group of Gifts, the Impossible Ones, but there was no information on them whatsoever. I had a feeling that they weren't mentioned on purpose. The iLite had mentioned that something huge had happened when Spyrite was Gifted, but it didn't have specific details. Perhaps Spyrite was gifted one of these "Impossible Gifts," and was exiled for it.
I looked up from the iLite, to see Spyrite finishing up her lecture on Yv kingdoms, and telling Annabeth to read the iLite. Annabeth turned to look at me, and I dutifully handed her the iLite. Meanwhile Spyrite had turned to Nico, tilting her head to the side in a questioning manner. She and Nico stared at each other for a few moments, before Spyrite nodded and turned to us.
"Well girls," Spyrite spoke softly, smiling sadly. "It's time I departed for CampHalf-Blood." Immediately Annabeth, Thalia and I snapped our heads around to look at her in shock.
"W-what do you mean by that, Spyrite?!" I stuttered out, confused. She wasn't even close to a demigod, so why was she going to a demigod camp? Seeing our confused gazes, Spyrite began explaining.
"I'm not some weak little Plantyv, girls. I'm the ex-princess of the Nyvs, and a Darknyv. I have methods of getting into camp." She paused for a moment, biting the inside of her cheek again. Finally she looked back up at us.
"Nico is going to teach me in the art of shadows and death, and CampHalf-Blood is the only place I can train with him at safely." Nico smiled sheepishly as he saw his girlfriend's electrifying glare aimed at him. Luckily for him, before Thalia could electrocute her boyfriend, Spyrite started explaining.
"You see, I'm the only Darknyv on Earth, so therefore I have no master to train me to use my powers. If I don't learn how to control my powers…" Spyrite trailed off while nervously laughing. "I could probably take out China." I could feel my jaw dropping at her statement, while Thalia and Annabeth's jaws also hit the floor.
Nico, on the other hand, was snickering at our expressions, and probably would have continued to do so if his loving and caring girlfriend hadn't fried him to the point his hair was done Einstein style. Spyrite turned to Nico, and for a moment they both stared deeply into each other's eyes, before Nico turned and disappeared into a shadow.
"Why do you and Nico keep doing that eye staring thing?" I asked, while Annabeth had turned back to the iLite. Spyrite hesitated, seeming at a loss for words. Finally she began her explanation.
"Nico and I both are children of shadows, and because of this, we can talk to others silently. We basically are communicating through our shadows, but we're both too weak to do it without eye contact with who we're talking to. It's a complicated form of telepathy." I didn't understand one bit of what just came out of that Nyv's mouth, and neither did Thalia, but Annabeth was nodding as if they were talking simple English.
Nico appeared back out of the shadows with a grey and lime plastic roller suitcase, and a messenger bag that was baby barf green. Spyrite walked over to Nico and took the messenger bag from him, slinging it over her shoulder. (AN: Those our both real life bags, so if you diss them, I destroy you) She turned back to us, looking us each in the eye, and I heard it then, as clear as if she were speaking to me directly.
Goodbye friends. I hope we may meet again.
And then she took Nico's hand, and they were gone, disappearing in a whirl of dark energy. Everything was silent for a minute, and-
"WAIT!" Annabeth screeched from behind me, startling me so that I fell on the floor. "YOU FORGOT YOUR iLITE!" The librarian loud "Shhhh!" sounded from somewhere in the library.
Suddenly the iLite beeped, and a box appeared on the screen, saying, One message for Annabeth Chase. Annabeth clicked on the box, and Spyrite's face appeared on the iLite, smiling.
"You can keep it for now. Learn the secrets of my hidden race, and then when you return to camp, you can return it to me." Spyrite's face disappeared for a moment, before returning, but in the time her face wasn't taking up the screen, I could see as plain as day Camp Half-Blood.
I got off my position on the floor to see Spyrite stick her hand through the iLite! Her hand was holding something, and dropped it on the table, before returning through the iLite portal from it came from.
Spyrite looked at Thalia for a moment, and I guess she was doing that shadow talking thing, because after a moment, Thalia nodded and picked up what the hand dropped. It was a charm bracelet, with a heart charm that had something engraved on it, but it was too far away for me to read. Thalia looked up and smiled that daft lopsided she reserves for only Nico, so I immediately knew who the bracelet was from.
Spyrite's head disappeared once more, and the screen went black.
"Well, guess it's time to go to another school to find demigods," Annabeth said slowly. That was when I got the idea. It was a risky idea, yes, but if done right, we would get to be with our boyfriends (excluding Nico, since he is training Spyrite). So I voiced my plan to the others.
"Girls, I think it's time we go Goode."
Finally done! I am seriously the most absolutely terrible author on fanfiction, because I didn't update. So I'm at least doing it once a month. But either way, I wrote almost 2,000 words! Yay! Also for the Goode High and Camp Half-Blood story, I am going to need at least a dozen OCs for each. SO put on your thinking caps, and create some mortals and demigods! But no children of the Big Three yet.
