Percy Jackson and the Fishcake, the Ancient Demigod.

Chapter 4: Nobody explains anything to me!

The nightmare wasn't so bad at first, it actually started like a dream, something that I usually dream at that, in my dream I was the shogun and all my friends were partying alongside me, my mother was there and my father as well, mom never really spoke about how he looked and I never asked but I always imagined that he would have a similar appearance to meso I thought that he would have spiky blond hair, tanned skin and blue eyes and that was how I dreamed as.

All my friends were dancing, eating and having a good time… until two kids interrupted the party, a boy and a girl, both with black messy hair and around the same length, the girl had blue eyes and was clearly a couple of years older than the boy, the boy had green eyes and seemed to be around my age, he was Percy Jackson, both of them were in some kind of white jackets that didn't let them move their arms (I think they were called straightjacket in some movie I saw in the hotel), both were trying to escape, the girl stopped and looked at me, she said 'One of us will escape' Percy Jackson responded with something that sounded like 'You are right' and something that I couldn't hear, after that I looked around and realized that now there was none alive around me, just ghosts.

So that is how I ended up in something like what Percy Jackson described from his own nightmare, a dark cave with spirits hanging around and a pit in the darkness of the cave. And just like in the dream of Percy Jackson, hidden in the pitch black depths of the pit is a terrifying presence, just that, unlike Percy Jackson, I don't feel uneasy in the cave, it feels natural, organize and kind of reassuring, like I was it is meant to be that way and I am welcome, the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable and jumpy was that pit, I can feel something ancient (even for me, a kid from the past), powerful and malicious revolving at a floor witch I can't see.

Well, well, well, this is an unexpected turn of events, I hear a voice from the depts of the pit. But I could always use someone of your lineage boy.

The voice is cold, heavy, and very ancient, it feels like is coming from everywhere and nowhere, it envelops me like thick blanket of cold steel.

Come little demigod and bring me the bolt, in exchange I will give you whatever you want.

I really feel like he is- wait, I can ask whatever I want, to never be forgotten, to never die to- ugh! What am I thinking, in theory I could use that wish to bring back my mother or to help her reunite with dad or to see my friends again or tell Marco that I am alright, but the first thing to come to mind was something so selfish? And who says that I should do that, I mean, being in a dark pit and having that voice are big red flags.

Gods I am pathetic, but this still is a good offer.

But I don't know what the Olympus is.

And I what's up with bringing him a bolt, is that even possible?

I can hear the echoes of the ghosts in the cave, they sound distressed, like they don't want me to speak to him.

Maybe I should ask him something.

"W-w-wha-what-"

Little hero, you should help me, the voice interrupted me, I can hear his cold voice filled with resentment and bitterness. They had done nothing for you, they had even gone against you. Help me and I will help you take your revenge on the sea god.

What sea god? What revenge? I don't understand.

I probably say something.

Bu-but my m-mouth won't open.

I think I am scared.

I-I don't want to d-d-die here.

I have done nothing worth remembering.

I don't want to be forgotten.

I don't want to be trap in the pit with that thing.

A cold laughter made echoes in the cave.

I can feel how I am being pulled towards the pit, I have to be firm or otherwise it will drag me to the bottom.

The ghosts are trying to help me getting me away from the pit, they whisper around me 'No, wake up!'.

Wait a second, as the laughter is getting louder the force is getting bigger.

It isn't pulling me; it is using me to get out.

Help me and bring me the bolt, stab those treacherous gods where it hurts them, the voice is getting angrier with every word, and with it the pull is becoming stronger. HELP ME CLIMB TO THE OLYMPUS AND DESTROY THE GODS, SON OF P-

"AAAAAAAAAAH!"

…

"Dude, what the hell?"

Well this is embarrassing.

"Can someone tell me what is going on?"

"Calm down Naruto, we already told you that we will explain everything to you after Percy is done with whatever he wants to do in the beach" Annabeth said to me.

Speaking of which, Percy Jackson is acting a little strange, he is looking at the sea in some kind of trance. I don't get why he is so marveled; I guess is pretty how the sun makes the water a beautiful golden color, but it still is water that you can't even drink, it has sharks and tsunamis and storms and- he is getting in the water

"¿Percy?" Annabeth called "What are you doing?"

Aaaand he ignored her.

"Do you know how contaminated the water is? There are many types of bacteria and-"

"You do know he is ignoring you right?"

It really isn't that difficult to see.

"What?"

"Yeah, he already is far away from here; by the way, can you do that too?"

"What do you mean? He just- wait, how do you know that?"

"I can feel the strange metal Percy Jackson and you have getting away" I say as I do pushing motion with my arm… that probably looked stupid "I think yours is a knife and his- I'm actually not really sure it has the shape of a pen, but it just feels like it should be bigger"

"You can do that?" asked Grover.

"Yeah, it is something I can do since I was like 7 or 8"

"You can do other things?" Annabeth asked with a glint in her eyes.

Can I?

I don't think so, unless…

"Do having animals hate you counts?"

"I don't think so" responded a confused Annabeth.

"Then no"

"Well, I can't think of a god tha-"

"Although, the kids at the orphanage always said that if I got very angry or sad the grass around me would die"

It looks like Annabeth reached a conclusion, if her face is any indication.

"… well, I think I may know who-"

"And the local medic use to say that I was good at predicting dead"

I know, that was rude, but they have done this to me for the entire journey… just that it is with my thoughts and not wi-

"Ok, now even I know who your fa-"

See.

"Oh, and also the same medic said to me that I was a magnet for money"

He deserves it.

"Hey Grover, Annabeth, Naruto!"

And with that I almost jump, unlike Grover who literally jumped like three feet.

"When did you got here?" asked Annabeth with concern in her eyes.

"I just arrived" responded a totally oblivious Percy Jackson.

"And what did you discover?" Annabeth asked.

"A nereid from Poseidon's Court gave me these pearls, she said that it would help us get out from the Underworld" said Percy with what I assume is a desire to go there, for some reason.

"But there are only three" Grover points out.

"I know"

I don't get why Percy Jackson seems so worried.

"That means…" Annabeth started, but stopped, as if she was waiting for someone to sy it was some kind of prank.

"That means one of us will have to stay" Percy Jackson finished for her.

…

Wait a second.

"I have to go?!"

"Yes, unless you want to get eaten by monsters" said Annabeth as if it was something obvious.

"What?"

"Yeah, no offense but you are not prepared to face monsters" said harshly Annabeth

"And you three are?" I ask whit an incredulous tone.

Which, I admit, is only to bother Annabeth.

"Yes" said with a frown a very defensive and offended Annabeth.

"Kinda" replied an insecure Percy Jackson.

"No" Grover answered without hesitation.

"Of course, you would answer that!" I scream with frustration.

Gods, Annabeth is so stubborn.

"And even if you somehow knew how to fight-"

"I KNOW how to fight!"

"-you don't have a celestial bronze weapon" said Annabeth as if that ended the conversation.

"But I have one"

Ok, that may not be entirely true, but I think it is close enough.

"You do?" she asked with an incredulous tone.

"Yes, I stole it from the palace because it felt different from the usual gold and silver that they had"

I really haven't use it in a long time, I think that the las time its shiny golden blade saw the sunlight was in the ship that was taking me to Italy, the crew taught me how to use a dagger, not a lot, and I really didn't learned besides stabbing and parring.

"Let me see it" she asks, "that's not celestial bronze, it is imperial gold!"

"I knew it wasn't the same!" I say, almost screaming, while clenching my fist in front of my face in sing of victory.

"Why you sound so proud?" Grover asks dryly.

I just give him a sheepish smile while I scratch the back of my head.

"If you knew it wasn't the same why did you said they were the same?" asked Percy Jackson with a little frown.

"Because it feels very, very similar" I respond "to the point that I had to doble check that the feeling was different the first time I saw the three of you"

"Ok, you have a dagger made of imperial gold, still you probably don't know how to fight with it, or I am wrong" asks Annabeth as she returns my dagger.

"Well, no but I know how to fight with my kodachi" I say as I sheathe the dagger.

"Wait, you have a kodachi?!" screams Annabeth.

"What is a kodachi?" Percy Jackson asks.

"A kodachi is a blade too short to be considered a long sword, but too large to be considered a dagger, it is made for teens, and yes, I have one" I inform Percy Jackson and Annabeth.

"Where?" Asks Percy Jackson.

"Here" I say as I show him a key chain whit the form of a sheathe sword.

"That is a sword shaped key chain" said Grover.

"Well yes, but if I pull the sword it will get to a normal height"

"Wow, really?" asked Percy Jackson.

"Yes!"

"Oh! I wanna see!" says Grover as he was basically flying.

"Me too, do it" says Percy Jackson.

"We don't have time!" Annabeth interrupts me before I can do anything.

"But Annabeth!" Percy Jackson protest as we wait for a bus.

"You do remember that the world will end if we fail, right?!" Annabeth says angrily to Percy Jackson.

Wait what?

"Oh right, sorry" says Percy Jackson.

That is not an appropriate reaction!

"THE WORL WILL WHAT!"

"Oh, we didn't tell you, right?... sorry" says Grover while he plays with his pan flute.

"We are on a quest to retrieve Zeus' Master Bolt"

A what?

Wait, did they said that they wanted to retrieve the bolt?

Like what it said I had to do?

"Wait, a bolt" I ask, maybe it is not what I am thinking.

"Not a bolt, the bolt" says Annabeth as if that explained everything "look we will answer your questions when we get on a bus to the DOA Recording Studios"

"What?"

Why none never explains anything to me.

Thanks for reading, sorry for the delay, I hope you like it.
