The Heroes of Olympus - The Son of Neptune
Chapter 1: Percy
Percy Jackson woke up in a forest cloaked in mist. He sat up and looked around, trying to figure out where he was. Then he realized that he didn't even know who he was. All he remembered was his first name, Percy. His age and his past life, though, were all gone. It was infuriating. He looked down at his clothes. He was wearing an orange tee-shirt that looked like it once had black letters on it, but were now scratched off. Also there was a necklace with four clay beads on it. Percy wondered where he got them.
The boy decided to look around and see if maybe he remembered this place, but it was impossible to see anything through the fog and mist. Eventually he came to a clearing in the forest, where he climbed a tree to see if there was anything other than trees here. In the distance, Percy saw the Golden Gate Bridge. Then he heard voices shouting in the distance.
"Where's the monster?" one person yelled. It seemed to be the voice of a girl.
Percy climbed down from his tree, wondering what the girl meant by "monster."
"It went this way, I think!" another voice. A guy this time.
The voices started getting closer. Percy was just going to have to ask these people, no matter how crazy they were, where he was and what was going on.
Four people emerged from the trees, two guys and two girls. They were wearing Roman-style armor, and they carried swords, spears, and shields. They stopped dead when they saw Percy.
"Who the hell are you?" one guy asked.
"Honestly, I don't remember." Percy replied. "I just woke up here and I think I have amnesia or something, cause all I remember is my first name, Percy."
One of the girls inspected him closely, as if trying to detect if he was lying or not. She had curly blonde hair and stormy-gray eyes. She looked very familiar to Percy, as if he knew someone who looked like her.
"Come on Reyna, you can't seriously be thinking he's telling the truth, can you?" one of the guys asked.
"Lupa can decide that. He's obviously a demigod, so we can't just leave him here." Reyna, the girl will blonde hair and grey eyes said.
"So, you don't even know where you're from?" asked the other girl as they started walking.
"Like I said, I don't remember anything. I'd tell you if I did." Percy replied.
"Ok fine. I believe you. I'm not as vicious as Mark, here, son of Mars, who attacks people without reason unless Reyna tells him not too." she replied.
"Dakota!" Mark exclaimed indignantly. "At least I can do something other than grow flowers and dance around in the fields all day!" He was a big, muscly kind of guy, with eyes that seemed dangerous, but his attitude, so far, was alright.
Dakota raised her eyebrows. "I do not!" In case you didn't notice, I beat your cabin mate in a sword fight last Saturday!" she yelled, her auburn hair glistening in the setting sun, and her blue eyes sparkling with anger.
Sword fight? Percy thought. And who was Mars? What kind of place are they taking me too?
"We're here." Reyna pushed aside a clump of bushes, and what Percy saw amazed him. There was a stadium, but it looked a bit like the Colosseum, which was sort of strange. There was a fields with a bunch of targets, where kids where shooting bows and arrows at the targets. Even from this distance, Percy could tell that all of the arrows always hit the bull's eye. There was a huge pavilion, with columns supporting the ceiling, but there were no walls. Next to the pavilion, there was a big, four story house, which looked out of place next to the roman stadium/amphitheater and the pavilion. Also, down the hill on their right, there were twelve HUGE cabins, lined up in two rows.
"What- what is this place?" Percy asked in aw.
"Legion Camp." Percy looked at the other guy, who had come with Reyna, Dakota, and Mark. "I'm Bobby." he said, stretching out his hand. "Son of Vulcan."
Son of Vulcan? Who was Vulcan? The name Hephaestus popped into Percy's mind. Suddenly and image came into Percy's head of a guy in Greek armor. He was surrounded by weird creatures, and the guy was looking straight at Percy. Then he raised his hand to his watch, and that was the end of the memory.
Percy took Bobby's hand and shook it. This guy looked disturbingly like the guy Percy had just seen in his memory.
Reyna led the group down the hill towards a cave behind the house that Percy hadn't noticed before. At the entrance, she stopped and said, "I think only one of us should go with Percy. You all know Lupa doesn't like big crowds in her cave." Everybody else grumbled, but Percy could tell they knew better than to question Reyna. He had already decided that Reyna must be the leader.
"Well, Percy, I hope Lupa likes you." And with that, Reyna led him into the cave.
Well, there's the first chapter. Hope you liked it!
