Legendary
After the quick break, everyone was ready for what the next saga would bring. Leo was tense, he had just started liking Odysseus, he was anxious to see what the Greek had done to make Calypso hate him so much.
The video started, the screen black as the words 'seven years later' came on the screen.
The Argo crew gasped, unable to believe Odysseus was now twenty years into his journey home and still not there. That his son would now be older than every person in the room.
[TELEMACHUS]
It's just me, myself, and I
"Ithaca is so beautiful!" Piper exclaimed as she looked at Odysseus' kingdom.
Jason nodded, although still uneasy about the unwanted memories of Ithaca returning to him, "It was a lot prettier 3000 years ago."
Stuck in my bedroom, livin' in this world you left behind
Dreamin' of all these monsters that I'll never get to fight
Percy gasped dramatically, "Why would anyone willingly ever want to fight monsters?"
Annabeth smiled, "Seaweed brain, remember, this was 3000 years ago, they didn't exactly have much forms of entertainment back then."
But boy, I wish I could, so I could bring the world some light
'Cause I'm stuck with your stories, but no clue who you are
Frank tilted his head, his eyes widened as he realised who this boy was, "Guys! I— I think this is Telemachus."
Nico rolled his eyes, "No shit!"
And no idea if you're dead or just too far
"Doggy!" Hazel exclaimed in awe, the cute dog on the screen capturing her heart.
"Cool fact," Annabeth started, sitting up straight in her chair as she caught her friend's attention, "That dog's name is actually Argos!"
"Like Argo II?" Leo asked.
She nodded, grinning wildly. Percy chuckled, "How come you can remember that but nothing else?"
She shrugged, "I don't know, freezing time is weird. Ask Alyx."
Somebody tell me, come and give me a sign
If I fight those monsters, is it you I'll find?
If so, then
The demigods in the room frowned, they each know what it's like having a parent they grew up not knowing. The feeling of missing not just a parent but a second half of your identity.
Percy smiled fondly, remembering that his sister, Estelle, is going to never had to feel that feeling, thanks to his stepfather Paul.
Give me sirens and a cyclops
Give me giants and a hydra
I know life and fate are scary
But I wanna be legendary
I'll fight the harpies and chimeras
The Minotaur, even Cerberus
I know life and fate are scary
But I wanna be l-l-l-l-legendary
Reyna tilted her head to the side, something about the song was so familiar to her, "Is it just me or does this sound like a Disney princess song?"
"Oh!" Will grinned, "It does, 100% it does!"
Jason frowned, "What a Disney Princess song?"
There are strangers in our halls
Tryin' to win the heart of my mom, but she is standing tall
108 old faces of men who call me small
They keep takin' space and it's not much longer we can stall
Jason's heart dropped into his stomach as he recognised Antinous, the man who stabbed him while he was in Ithaca.
'Cause they're getting impatient, dangerous too
And I would fight them if I was half as strong as you
Somebody help me, come and give me the strength
Can I do whatever it takes to keep my mom safe?
If so, then
Percy looked away from the screen, Telemachus' song reminding him of himself when he was twelve years old, how he would have done anything to keep Gabe away from his mother. Even if that meant taking a punch or two without his mother knowing.
Annabeth noticed, confused by his sudden change in demeanour, "You okay?" She asked.
Percy nodded, although he still was stuck in his thoughts, "I'll talk to you about it later."
Give me sirens and a cyclops
Give me giants and a hydra
I know life and fate are scary
But I wanna be legendary
I'll fight the harpies and chimeras
The Minotaur, even Cerberus
I know life and fate are scary
But I wanna be legendary
"Telemachus would love Camp Half-Blood."
[SUITORS]
Where is he?
Where is the man who'll have you to wife? Oh-woah
Where is he?
Where is the man with whom you'll spend your life?
'Cause it's been twenty years
The girls drowned, remembering that this story took place 3000 years ago, back when the world treated their gender as less. Thalia laughed, thinking about how she would easily be able to take any of them in a fight.
[TELEMACHUS]
Twenty years
[SUITORS]
And we still have no king
[TELEMACHUS]
Give me a chance, a single opportunity
And I'll overcome these obstacles and scrutiny and—
"Woah, Telemachus is a really good singer!"
[ANTINOUS]
Boy
When's your tramp of a mother gonna choose a new husband?
[SUITORS]
Oh-oh
[ANTINOUS]
Why don't you open her room, so we can have fun with her?
"WHAT THE HADES?!" Annabeth exclaimed, realising just what Antinous had asked Telemachus, her blood boiled.
The other kids in the room felt sick, fewer of them (Will, Hazel and Frank) slow to what type of fun Antinous was talking about.
Percy was shaking, his hand reaching for Riptide, even though Antinous was on the scene, Percy wanted to slash the man with his sword.
[TELEMACHUS]
Don't you dare call my mother a tramp
[SUITORS]
Oh-oh
[ANTINOUS, spoken]
I just did
Whatcha gonna do about it, champ?
Leo frowned, "This is very off topic but you know how Reyna said that this sounded like a Disney song? Well Antinous looks like a human version of Scar."
Piper tilted her head as she looked at the man's features, her eyes widening as she realised Leo was right, "No way!"
[TELEMACHUS]
Somebody tell me, come and give me a sign
If I fight this monster, is it you I'll find?
"Oh he's going to be fucked up."
