Thank you for the endless support. As one of the reviews asked for dreams or flashbacks, I added a dream here. Hope it's not that short. And sorry if these aren't long enough. I don't really have time-usually ten minutes are everything. And sorry if I kept you waiting.
Third POV
The dream
A man with red eyes, no nose, no hair, and slits for nostrils was walking around and around. There were a group of people standing, close to his side. The man hissed. 'I have been informed that there is a new boy at the school. He is more powerful than the other students. Even more powerful than Harry Potter. What shall we do to him?" One of the people grouped to his side said "Just ignore him, my lord. Our target is Harry Potter, the only one who as the slim key to destroy you. The new boy wouldn't even know of your deeds or anything of the wizarding world. He's too new." The man nodded. "Yes, perhaps Harry Potter is our target for now. But watch the boy carefully, Wormtail. Him and Potter." Wormtail- the man said "Yes, my lord." the man said. "Where's Snape?" he hissed. A woman standing near him said "He is at Hogwarts, Master. Spying on the Potter boy." "Tell him to spy on a Jackson boy as well." he said. "He is strong. He has a protection around him even I cannot detect the source. He is even more powerful than me. When the time comes, I or one of you will kill him. Snape should watch him as well." The woman bowed. "It will be done, My Lord." Then she disappeared. The man turned. I will find you, Harry Potter, and you, Percy Jackson. And I shall kill you painfully." he said in a low hiss. A snake at his side opened it's mouth wide. A woman's body fell into it. And the snake's mouth closed. "Nagini, you will have two human bodies to devour soon." the man hissed.
Then another man ran up, panting. "My Lord, I have something we can use for an ally." The man's eyes widened. "An ally?" he asked. "Yes, My Lord. The Greek Mythology happens to be real, and there is Kronos. He is fighting the Olympians. I have asked Ouranos for help in this battle, and he says yes. He says that this is revenge to Hecate for siding with the Olympians in a recent battle. Anyway, we can use this help to conquer the world, my lord. And this mysterious boy seems to be related with the Olympians. Obviously the protection comes from the 'River Styx' which nobody can enter unless one is related to the Olympians. There is a mortal point that can be penetrated. If we stab that part, he will most likely die." The red eyed man nodded thoughtfully. "Very good, Lucius. Very good. We have discovered an ally. The ally is powerful?" The man nodded. "Yes, Master." The red eyed man laughed. "Then we are sure to win this battle!" It was a cruel laugh. Then Lucius- the man said "But there is a guy whom Ouranos's forces fear. His name is Percy Jackson and he is attending Hogwarts this moment." The red eyed man stopped dead. He seemed to be considering things. "Then we have no choice. We should catch Jackson first if we are to conquer the wizarding world. We must build up a way. Nagini, I am sorry. But you will not devour these two youngsters immediately... But one day... When I have an advantage for things... Lucius, send messages throughout the Death Eaters to gather in the Throne Hall, for we should make a way to kill Jackson first..."
Percy got up, panting. The man in his dream had vowed that he would kill him and Harry. He must warn Harry. He roughly shook Harry awake. Harry got up yawning. "What's up?" he asked sleepily. Percy told him about the dream except about the ally part since it could give his identity away. Harry's eyes widened. "Percy, but that's... that's Voldemort. That means he's alert already of your presence. But why should he kill you?" he wondered. "And, Snape. I always knew he would be behind everything. Trying to kill Lupin! He just looks like a Death Eater anyway. And, I also saw him cornering Malfoy, saying that he was Malfoy's protector and such stuff. And I'm pretty sure that Malfoy is a Death Eater. The way he tries to hide his arm!" Harry fell silent. "We really need to investigate this further with Ron and Hermione. Percy asked "But he said that he would try and kill you. Shouldn't we do anything about it?" Harry snorted. "Voldemort tried to kill me since I was a baby. Don't worry about me. We should be worrying about you. Hermione would probably say that you should immediately run up some spells, and she's right. You must be always prepared for dark arts. Why do you think we learn 'defense against the dark arts' for?" Harry seemed to consider things. "And we absolutely need to alert the Order and Dumbledore about this. But Percy, let's talk more about this at breakfast, with Ron and Hermione. I need to think things over, anyway." Percy nodded hastily. "Of course." He really needed to go to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, he fished around for a drachma and threw it into the mist. "O, Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me Annabeth Chase from Camp Half Blood." Annabeth's face appeared. She was drinking coffee as she was pouring over books and searching her laptop. "Annabeth!" Annabeth looked up. "Oh, hi!" she smiled. Percy said hastily "Look, I had a demigod dream last night. There was a man named Voldemort. And he said that he was going to kill me and Harry Potter, a friend. Then, he said that he allied with Ouranos. Ouranos has deep forces, for all I know. The wizarding world is doomed!" Annabeth looked thoughtful. "But I thought that Ouranos didn't participate in any war unless it had high chances of winning. Then that means..." Percy went pale. "I hope that doesn't mean Voldemort is going to win!" Annabeth's face was grim. "Ouranos will take Voldemort's forces as well later on to overcome us as well. We must stop this, and train. I'll tell Chiron about this. You, in the other hand, pretend nothing ever happened. But practice your skills- your magical ones, your watery ones and everything. Understand? We must all be prepared. And we should inform this to the gods as well. A simple Iris Messaging to Mom would do. Stay well, Percy. Bye." she slashed the Iris Message. Percy jumped into bed, and fell asleep again.
Percy POV
I yawned and stretched. I quickly dressed into my robes and went out of the dormitory. Ron and Hermione were sitting comfortably on sqashy chairs. Ron said disdainfully "You lost breakfast, mate." Hermione snapped "Percy doesn't mind that; only you mind because you're such a pig." Ron ignored her. "So, Percy. We've been talking about this dream. Snape's the obvious-" Hermione said "There is no evidence that Snape could be the person who's whispering to Voldemort! Another could be the one." Ron continued "-to whisper to Voldemort's ear about us. We decided that we should tell the Order by owl and to Dumbledore. Harry's gone to the owlry, and we're going to tell Dumbledore after Care of Magical Creatures. That starts in ten minutes. Teacher's Hagrid, and he's good." Hermione stood up. "We should be getting there. Percy, here's a sandwich. Eat that while we're going. Did you pack your bags? Good. Now let's go." We stepped out and set off through the corriders. Hermione stepped out to the fresh morning air. Harry was already there. Nearly all the students were already there. We hurried along. "Oi! Finally comin', Ron and Hermione. Now, today, we're goin' to study about unicorns. There's plenty in the Forbidden Forest. We're going to enter a little, and I'll call them." A pale, blond boy spoke up. "But we shouldn't enter! We're forbidden to!" Hagrid growled at him. "Fang and I are here to save you if something happens." He slung his crossbow and entered the forest. I followed Ron and Hermione and Harry and stepped into the dark, gloomy place.
I instantly knew why this place was forbidden to students. It was as if all the light had been shut down. My hands itched toward Riptide, and I felt alert, ready for any monster attacks. Harry noticed this; and said "It's worse deeper. There's all sorts of creatures-" "Including spiders." Ron added. I instantly thought of Annabeth; she shouldn't come into this place.
"Come quick. I've caught a baby unicorn. He's a son of my friend. Now, these baby unicorns are not that picky with whom pets-" he was cut by the unicorn. It had jumped and was starting to run away. No. Not running away. Running towards me.Some horses did this; I was a son of Poseidon after all. But the unicorn was fierce. Like a Greek monster.
It changed, and just as I suspected; it was a monster. A monster I have already faced. It was six hellhounds and two telkhines. (So, the unicorn is like a case in which the monsters went into. Voldemort sent them, with Ouranos's help) Hagrid immediately fired arrows, but a hellhound swished it's deadly tail and Hagrid fell over. The Slytherins were screaming. Ron and Harry and Hermione were firing spells, but none seemed to work on the monsters. It only seemed to give them strength. It swished it's tail again, and Ron and Harry fell. Hermione walked backwards, while the other Gryffindors and Slytherins cowered away, moving slowly, not to alert those mosnters.
I had to do what I had to do now. I took out Riptide and clicked it. It turned into a sword. Hagrid and the students gasped and watched my battle. I sliced through two telkhines and they dissolved into dust. But during that time a hellhound slashed at me. It ripped my robes and my blood trickled out of it. I killed that one, kicked the other, and sliced the other. Only one hellhound left. It shook itself and rather facing me, ran off and sank it's teeth into a random girl. I threw my sword at once like a javelin, but it missed. I looked around for a weapon. There was a tree bark. I snatched it up as the hellhound advanced. I threw the bark at him and he was dazed for a moment. The 'moment' was all I needed. I snatched up Hagrid's arrows, and as the hellhound jumped for the target (me) I thrust the arrow upwards; into the hound's heart. It turned to dust and disappeared.
Everyone as silent. "How... how did you do it?" The blond boy asked. "Blimey, that was superb!" Ron said. Harry was looking at me with respect. "That was a fine show." Hagrid said, approvingly. Only Hermione said nothing. She stared suspiciously at the arrow I was holding. She asked "How can you use those weapons so well?" I replied "I've learned them at camp, the place I went before here." She looked at me dubiously, but didn't ask more.
Hermione's POV
Everything was strange. What were those things that came out of the unicorn? And how did Percy defeat them- he looked as if he expected it. Could he be the one who had enchanted them? Or could he deal with these things every day? And what muggle camp teaches sword fighting? From his skill, he should have practiced for like at least 6 years. But no camp was like that! I knew camps. Dad told me about them a long time ago. So I wrote down the list of 'strange things about Percy Jackson'.
1. He burnt his food the day he first came to school.
2. He goes to a camp that teaches sword fighting, which is weird
3. He's always so alert.
4. His pen turned into a sword and back again.
5. How powerful should he be- if Voldemort would choose him instead of Harry for the target to kill? Voldemort is determined to kill Harry. No random common schooler would change his target.
6. He didn't receive his owl when he was eleven.
7. He purposefully avoids talking about 'what he had to do' before he came to Hogwarts.
8. The slash he received while he was battling the monsters disappeared. Those kind of slash ought to take days to heal.
9. He is weird.
I had to weave these clues to some sort of brick, like cement.
Urgh, I can't think now. I'll just finish my background reading. I opened my first book. It was "Greek Mythology- Demigod's Lives"
The first chapter was "Sacrifices to gods"
'Demigods sacrifice their food to the gods. Most sacrifice to their parents. If they do not, the gods would feel hurt and angry, and the demigods wouldn't like that.
Demigods usually burn their food in the fire and mutter their parent god's name. Then the said god would be able to smell the burnt food. Research claims that the burnt food would smell good- some smells like cinnamon.
The demigods burn their best pieces of food so that they can please their parent god. '
I got rigid. Check. Number1. Percy burnt his food, didn't he? I skipped te rest of the chapter and went straight to chapter 2.
'Weapons'
'The weapons one uses are various. Demigods choose their weapons. Demigod children of Apollo would choose arrows for their weapons, since Apollo is talented at bows. Children of Poseidon woul choose sword fighting. Children of Athena would choose any known weapon. They will be okay at any weapon, since Athena is the goddess of battle. On top of that, they are wise, so they can use their weapons wisely.'
Percy used swords. That meant another check. And a possible fact that he could be a son of Athena or Poseidon, or perhaps other gods...
CHapter 3- 'Alertness'
Demigods should always be alert because there could always be a hidden attack. Most hide their weapons, and when an attack comes, they fight back. Unalert demigods would not survive.
I skipped this one too, with another clue taped- another check for my third clue.
Chapter 4- 'Ambrosia and Nectar-
Demigods eat ambroisa or nectar; the food of the gods when they are injured. Ambrosia and nectar can heal any injury with sufficient time. Demigods naturally get a lot of attacks from monsters, and they get injured too. If they get injured, they will eat ambrosia or nectar, and it will heal in at least 30 minutes.
I closed the book. Now it was all out in the open. Percy was a demigod.
I didn't know such things ever existed, but I supposed that anything could be possible, especially after I knew that there were stuff like wizards. I should probably ask Percy about it. He surely wouldn't refuse. I should tell Ron and Harry too.
But now, I really need to go to Potions. Where is that book? Oh, Hermione, please don't loose your head!
I will try to add my next chapter soon. Plz review.
