|Chapter 5-| We play capture the flag!
My morning routine settled back to normal, besides the fact Percy had decided we were all of a sudden best friends. Each morning I taught him ancient Greek and we talked about the gods and goddesses.
And it turned out I was right (obviously) about his dyslexia. He could read a few lines of Homer without giving us a headache.
The rest of the day Percy would try to see what he was good at. He shot Chiron in the tail with an arrow,face planted while foot racing and got pulverized by Clarisse in wrestling.
Apparently the only thing he was good at was canoeing, and my theory of his father was slowly getting confirmed, and if I was right we were DoOmEd.
With Grover reporting Percy was "SpEcIaL", and he became one with the plumbing AND excelling at canoeing was a sure sign, but Chrion said to pray to the gods I was wrong.
Luke told me Percy in sword fighting class he was able to disarm him, but when Percy tried again he failed, and they put him in beginner luck and the fact that he couldn't find a Percy a balanced sword.c
That night there was more excitement than usual. Finally time to capture the flag.
A few days before, I had scouted the forest,thinking how to put my plan into action. It should have been fairly easy, but I had to keep a close eye on Percy while being able to capture Ares' flag.
Me and my two siblings ran into pallavi lion carrying of 10 foot long gristling grey banner with a painting of a owl and a olive tree,Athena symbol. Clarrise and her siblings ran in from the opposite side of the palivilion with the same banner but it was guardian red with a bloody spear and boar on it, Ares symbol.
I told Luke about my plan involving Percy,and he agreed to temporarily ally with us along Apollo, so we had the two biggest cabins at camp.
Ares had allied themselves with everybody else: Dionysus,Demeter,Aphrodite, and Heaptus. Dionysus kids were pretty athletic, but there were only two of them D:
Demeter kids had advantage with the nature, but they didn't like to be aggressive. Aphrodite's son's and daughter's i wasn't to worried about, but i'm not going to underestimate then, well... NoT aFtEr lAsT mOnTh. I was still coughing glitter. Hephaestus kids weren't pretty but there was only four of them, but they were big and burly.That could be problematic. And all that left Ares cabin were: A dozen of biggest,ugliest, meanest people from all the camp.
Chiron hammered his hoof on the marble. "Heroes!" he announced "You know the rules. The creek is the boundary line.The entire forest is fair game. All magical items are allowed. The banner must be prominently displayed,and have more then 2 guards. Prisoners may disarmed but may not be bound or gaggy. No killing or maiming is allowed. I wills serve as reference and battlefield medic.Arm Yourself!!"
He spread his hands, and the tables were suddenly covered with equipment: Helmets,bronze swords,spears,ox-hide shields coated in metal.Everybody lunged for weapons and amour.
I only grabbed my helmet. My helmet, like all helmets on Athena's side had a blue horsehair plume on top. Ares and there ally had a red one.
I yelled "Blue team come forward!"
The blue team cheered and shook there swords and followed me down the path of the south woods. The red team yelled taunts at us as they headed north. Percy managed to catching up to me without tripping over any of his equipment.
I studied Percy. His helmet fell over his eye's a little bit so he pushed it up every few minutes. His amour was perfect, so i assumed Luke did it. He carried a shield that was to big for his body. I was nervous for him. I don't think he will come out well. I was betting my entire plan off of Clarrise s revenge skills (Which were pretty good) and how long she can wait to get revenge.
"Hey" Percy said "So what is the plan? Got any magical items you can loan me?
My hand drifted to my pocket, to my Mothers hat. Maybe instead i will watch over Percy when Luke captures the flag...
"Just watch Clarrise spear" i warned him "You don't want that thing touching you. Otherwise don't worry, we will get the flag from ares. Has Luke given you a job?
"Ya Border patrol whatever that means." Percy said
"That's easy Stand by the creek, keep reds away.Leave the rest to me. Athena always has a plan.
I pushed away leaving Percy in the dust. I wanted to be alone to think.
Before going over the plan. I stationed Percy next to the little creek that gurgled some rocks, then the rest of the team scattered into the trees forward Zeus fist.
In all honestly, i was a little bit scared for Percy, that's why i put him next to the creek. If i am right he be able to defend himself. If oNlY iF i was wrong Percy would be in the infamy for 1 whole week =). ;-;.
Luke found his way to my side.'
"You made sure Clarrise overheard you talking to Percy right?? i told him.If she didn't hear Luke the plan was done for.
"Of course she heard me. She can't help it." Luke said
I grinned "Gooda. We can capture the flag with her out of the way."
We went over the plan again but without Percy. Luke telled his Cabin and Apollos cabin the plan.
Technically two plans including Percy and one involving not Percy.
One we stationed our banner we went over the plan one more time. As soon as we finished, the couch horn blew and both teams yelled and whooped, plunging into the woods. I slipped my hat on and became invisible.
The game was Fairly quick. Luke had grabbed Ares flag with almost no inference, seeing how the Ares people were probably beating Percy up.
Luke's siblings as he ran, so i decided to check how Percy died yet but surprisingly turned out he was doing very good on his own.
Percy smacked Clarrise between the eyes with his sword-butt and send her tumbling backwards to the creek.
Luke raced passed us, Ares flag flying behind him like a cap.
"A trick" she shouted "it was a trick"
Clarrise siblings staggered after Luke, but it was to late....Everybody converge on the creek as Luke ran across into friendly territory. Our side exploded into cheers. The red banner shimmered and turned into grey. The boar and spear was replaced with a huge caduceus, the symbol of cabin eleven. Everyone on the blue team picked up Luke and started to carrying him around there shoulders. Chiron catered out from the woods and blew a couch horn.
The game was over. We have won!!!
"Not bad hero"
Percy looked at me puzzled.
"Where the H*ll did you learn to fight like that?" I asked then i realized i was still wearing my hat and took it off. He wasn't even fazed by the fact i was invisible.
"You set me up," Percy said "You put me here because you knew Clarrise would come for me, while you sent Luke round the flank. You had it all figured out."
I shrugged " As i said AtHeNa aLlwAyS hAs a pLaN."
"A plan to get me pulverized."
"I came as fast as i could i was about to help you,but i saw you were perfectly fine on your own."
Then i noticed his wounded arm.
"How you do that?"
"sword cut" Percy said "What do you think?"
No, It was a sword cut. Look at it." The blood was gone. Where the huge cut has been, there was a long white scratch,and even that was fading. As i watched, it turned into a small scar and dissapeared.
"I don't get it," Percy said
I looked down at his feet and saw he was still standing in the water.
I said "Step out of the water Percy,"
"What---"
"Just do it."
Percy stood up carefully out of the water, and almost fell but i holded him up before he dropped.
Now i was certain i know who his father was. The signs were so obvious and me thinking it was it was another god.
"Oh,Styx" i cursed "This is very bad, i thought it would have been Zeus."
Percy opened his mouth before he could talk, something/someone was growling.It sounded like a canine. A howl ripped through the forest. The cheer of the campers faded away as the "thing" was coming closer.
Chiron shouted in Ancient Greek, Stand ready! My bow!
I drew my dagger. There on the rocks just above us was a black hound the size of a rhino with LAVA eyes and Fangs like the size of my dagger. I thought for i bit "It is a Hell-hound" i telled myself in my "big brain."
It was not looking at me but Percy. So i yelled, "Run,Percy."
I tied to go in front of him, but Ze hell-hound was to fast. It leaped over me and it hit Percy. He stumbled backwards. I watched as the hounds razor-claws ripped through his amour like if it was paper.
Then there was a wacking sound, like 30 pieces of paper being ripped one by one. From the monster neck there were a dozen of arrows. The hell hound "splatted" on the floor ded. Like wtf it was pretty funny and thankfully Percy didn't die.
Chiron was the one who put the arrows in his neck.
"Di immortales," i said "That's a hell-hound from ze Fields of Punishment, They don't/can't be h---"
"Someone summoned it" Chiron said "Someone in camp"
Luke looked fishy he looked like it was his idea but i doubt it was since he is the most nice's person in the universe. "but who could have?" i telled myself in me Big Brain
Them...
Clarrise said "Percy summoned it, it had to be him"
"BE QUIET MY CHILD" Chiron telled her. We saw the body melt down and soaking the ground until it disappeared.
"You're wounded" I saw how Badly his cut is but then i thought the water "Quick, Percy go in the water"
"Im oKaY"
"No Mister no you are not" "Just do it for the love of god and sakes of my misery i had"
Percy stumbled to the creek, the whole camp was hurling towards him
He straightened up "Like a big boy", the cut in his chest was closing up and some campers Gasped.
But not one soul was looking at him heal anymore they were staring at the thing that was on top of his big head
"Percy," I pointed up "Look..."
By ze time he looked up the thing was fading away but you could see the trident and emerald circle.
"You're father" i mumbled "This ain't good"
"Is is determined" Chiron said. All around us everyone was bowing down and even the ares cabin but they were not HAPPY about it. I just was in a gaze by then
"My father!?" Percy said bewildered
"Poseidon" Chiron said. "Earth shaker,strombringer, Father of horses. All Hail Perseus Jackson, Son of the sea god!!!
