Percy walked around the small town of Hargeon looking for the magic shop that he'd been told about when he overheard a couple of local guys going all fanboy over a visiting wizard.
"Can you believe that Athena is here in town!?"
"Really!?"
"Yeah, they say her magic is super rare! Like you can't even find it in stores rare!"
That was all he could hear before they were out of hearing range. Curious, Percy decided to follow them, completely forgetting about the magic shop.
Pushing his way to the front of the crowd, Percy found himself staring at a beautiful woman. He could feel himself begin to blush, and then she looked his way. Percy's heart began to pound and his blush deepened, and all he could think was, 'I'm in love'.
It seemed that all the others in the crowd felt the same way. Then suddenly, a blonde haired girl broke through the crowd with a smile on her face, and Percy forgot what had made the first woman look so appealing, completely missing the fact that the new girl had what appeared to be a five-year-old boy on crutches. However, once the new girl got a good look at the woman in the center of the crowd, her smile dropped and she said, "Who are you?"
This enraged the group of boys that had surrounded Athena, as they all turned on the blonde with murder in their eyes. "Now boys, I'm sure she didn't mean it." Gabbing a piece of paper, the wizard signed her name and handed it to the girl, "Here darling."
"No thanks." was all the younger woman said, slightly disgusted, as she turned to leave, and the young men got prepared to kill her. Percy, not thinking, moved to help the girl, and her still as of yet unnoticed companion, and prepared to defend them against the horde of enraged fanboys.
Not wanting to freak anyone out, Percy slightly moved his hand and sent a thin layer of water over the cobblestones that they were about to step on and froze them. When the first one stepped on the icy stones and slipped, everything went downhill. Soon there was a pile of fanboys on a rapidly melting sheet of ice. By the time everyone was untangled the ice had melted back to water and no one could prove anything.
"Boys, boys," Athena began, "I'm afraid I have to go now, but you're all invited to the party I'm having tonight, just outside of town!" Then in a spectacular show, Athena conjured up a giant snake that slithered on the air and carried her away.
The local boys soon dispersed throwing one last glare at the unknown blonde. Walking over, Percy finally noticed the little boy standing next to the girl. "Are the two of you okay? Those guys seemed like they had it out for you."
The girl glared at him, and Percy had the chance to notice that her eyes were a beautiful shade of grey, "We're fine."
Then the boy spoke up, "Thank you for helping us though!"
"What?"
"You were the one who froze the road so that those guys couldn't attack us right?"
Percy blushed and rubbed the back of his neck, "You noticed that huh?" Suddenly, a loud growl could be heard coming from the little boy's stomach, and Percy had an idea, "How about I treat you two to lunch?"
The girl looked like she was about to refuse when her own stomach growled in protest, and Percy laughed, grabbing each of their hands, "I'll take that as a yes!"
This has been bouncing around in my brain for a few hours and I just had to write it!
This is kind of like a test chapter for me to decide if I really want to write all of this out in a complete story.
I really liked it, but I would really like some feedback on it.
So comment if you liked it, if you hated it, if you think I'm insane for doing it, whatever. All comments are welcome!
See ya next time!
