Chapter 6: Leo's And Percy's Journey
Previously:
Leo;
Next up stood a woman that reminded me of someone in particular, she had long black hair brown eyes like mine, her clothes looked that of a mechanic and she had a smile that showed trouble. She smiled and I felt a very familiar feeling... Why.
"Hi I am Esperanza Valdez. I have special abilities, but that can be learn soon enough, right Mijo?" She asked me. I found myself still tapping on the table I love you,
"....Mom?" I said and everyone stared at me. "Is.... That really you?".
Now
3rd Person:
"No questions for now Hijo, wait until we finish introducing ourselves." Said Esperanza to Leo with love, it showed that she was restraining herself to hug her own son and give him years of love.
"Ahem.... My name is Hanuman also known as the Monkey God." Said a Weird guy/monkey and his face looked like a dragon/monkey/demon. He had a weird get up, with red ropes that were laced with golden string strapped on his biceps, he had armour from his pants down and his chest was bare showing a very well built body with tattoos that seemed to come alive, that of an Elephant, a Tiger and Buddha?.
This other person stood up and bowed to everyone on the table, he had his head shaved, a robe on and to top it all he had some kind of Rosary on his hand and he simply smiled, everyone on the table felt at peace with his presence. "I am Wu Chang, of the Temple High Heavens in China." Before He sat back down he bowed once more to everyone.
Then the last person of the statues stood up, with pride he chuckled. He looked like a version of Ares and the monk that was next to him. Both Demigods could feel his desire to fight strong opponents. "Hi" and he sat down, everyone looked confused except the other people who were laughing, even the Ninja scoffed chuckled a bit.
"What should we call you?" Said Luke smiling. The Guy just blinked and didn't move a muscle. He was wearing clothes that resembled the samurai and the Monk. The demigods smiled and stood up.
"I am Perseus Jackson. You may call me Percy. I am a Demigod, my father is-..." There was a moment of silence and then Percy continued, "My Father is Pontus Primordial of the Seas or any liquid basically. I am a warrior with the sword and have served as a commander for two wars." As Percy got back on his seat, Arthur eyed him in a new way, like he found someone worthy, also Ramesses smiled at Percy feeling a connection to him.
Leo stood up so fast he hit the table and cursed, only to cover his mouth and look at his mom, "Sorry Mom!" He said quickly. His mother looked at him with a side grin. Percy looked at him and mouthed, "You are in so much trouble." Leo got his composure and spoke, "I am Leo Valdez, you can Call me Leo or Awesome Valdez or The Flaming Leo, take your pick. I am a son of Aether the primordial of Light and Also flames, I was Adopted by both Olympians Hephaestus and Vulcanus, I can fix anything and build anything if I have the materials. Also I'm good with a hammer." He sat back down and Percy patted his back.
The Samurai stood up and walked over to Leo, he grunted with his hand out and grabbed Leo's Hands he traced his palms and smiled, "You train with me, I will teach you the way of the samurai." He said pulling Leo away from everyone. And going through a Portal.
"Mom!!!" Screamed Leo, he extended his arm trying to reach her "no.. not again, Mom!, I haven't seen her in so many years". He turned into fire completely and turned to the samurai. "Let me go!" He fired a torrent of white flames to the samurai and in a quick way he knocked Leo out, he picked him up on his shoulder and went through the portal, he turned before leaving.
"I will return when he finishes his training." Said The Samurai leaving all of the people sitting there quietly.
Esperanza was staring at the portal, her knuckles white, her eyes watering. You could tell seeing that she has been wanting to see her son. And now was taken away.
"Well we knew that was coming." Said Arthur.
"Percy calm down!" Said Luke to Percy. Percy was glowing with different Auras and his eyes showed anger, he was trying to stand up, but Luke had both his hands on his arm struggling to hold on, "He will be fine, the training is harsh, but they will return by tomorrow, on his dimension time passes faster." Said Luke with a deep sigh.
Percy looked at Luke slowly, his tone deep, "The next time you hold me back... I will not be so friendly Luke, my brother was crying for help. If you interrupt me again like that" Percy growled and extended his power making the table crack everyone was levitating in the air, the whole floor was trembling like a Earthquake was starting, Percy was in a deep blue Aura that flared, "I will not be so merciful! No one hurts my families and friends, and gets out alive." Said Percy in a different voice. He calmed down and everyone was on the floor.
"Damn it, a bit more and I would have bitch slapped you for acting like that. I though you trusted us?!" Said Luke disbelief.
"I trusted people a long time ago and I was betrayed by my own friends and Family. My own Girlfriend, my father disowning me as his son. Zeus firing his Master bolt at me, killing me and on top of this you want me to trust people I just met? No. My loyalty lies with my new Family and my new Brother. Touch any of them and I will personally make sure none of you leave alive or rise again." Percy walked away and was stopped by the monk.
"I understand your hate and feelings... Please follow me. I shall be your first teacher." Said the monk opening a portal. Percy hesitated, "Do not worry, I am a man of my word. I am here to help, please" he motioned for him to enter. Percy nodded and went in.
"Now that is something you don't experience every day!" Screamed Arthur and Remesses laughing together.
"I'd say that he reminds me of Anubis when he visited me a long time ago, now that was an experience that shook me to the core." Said Remesses shaking.
"What do you mean?" Asked the Monkey King.
"This kid is 10 times more powerful that any of the Egyptian gods that I have served during my entire life." When Remesses said that everyone had a smile on they're faces, even the ninja looked happy.
"Meaning it is time to pass on our knowledge, to people who will inherit our will and strength." Said Luke with a smile. Then he burst out laughing, "Did you see my act?! No Percy don't do it. Calm yourself." Luke kept laughing.
"I don't think its nice to talk about him like that Luke" said Esperanza.
"I know... But Percy was the only one who believed in me... Even when I was taken over by kronos he always though about me and tried to help me... I hurt so many people in the past." Arthur put his hand on Luke's shoulder.
"Do not punish yourself, You have been trained by all of us and learned everything." Said Arthur.
"No... I was good with sword fighting, but hand to hand combat... Eh not so good. But that is the reason why I am The ninth teacher. For I will teach them the true fighting of Greece and Rome. For I am Luke son of Hermes and Adopted son of Mars." He finished speaking and everyone nodded.
LEO VALDEZ:
"Ugh my head....Mmmm Smells like grilled fish." I got up and rubbed my neck, it hurt like hell. It was nightfall, the stars shined very brightly on top of us, and next to me sat a samurai with a fire, roasting fish next to a stream. I sat down and he handed me a fish. I grabbed it and brought out from my tool bag soy sauce. When I sprinkled it on the fish it tasted good, the samurai looked at me curiously.
"You want some Samurai?" I asked him, he nodded and I threw the bottle at him, he caught it and sprinkled the fish, when he tasted it I could swore I saw a tear fall down his cheek.
"I have not tasted soy sauce since a long time... Thank you tool kid." He said to me, I got confused.
"Tool kid? My name is Leo, Leo Valdez!" I said to him.
"Of course and my name is Miyamoto Musashi. Great Samurai of Japan." Said the samurai adding more soy sauce to the fish in the fire making sizzling noise in the quiet night. I ate about 4 fishes and laid back on the soft grass, the samurai ate about 8 fishes and emptied out the soy sauce. He looked disappointed about something, then I remembered the stories that samurai love Sake. I brought out a small bottle of it with a sign on the front that said Alcohol in Japanese and had a wooden top.
"Hey Miyamoto catch." I said throwing him the bottle. He caught it and I could hear him sniffing.
"Are you smelling it? Its sake man!" I said to him as I got up and saw him quietly crying. "Are you Seriously crying?! Your a Samurai! For all I've heard is that you guys never cry and are super strong." I said to him with my hands in the air.
"Listen kid, we are Humans too... Not just tools of war. Although we are depicted like one... And thank you for the Sake, I will save it for a special time." Miyamoto laid back on the grass and I did too. I fell asleep next to the fire and it felt wonderful.
I woke up to the sound of a horse whining and something pushing me, then a cold splash woke me up,
"I'm awake Percy, alright jeeze!!" I said shivering from how cold it was. Then I saw Miyamoto smiling on his black horse with a wooden bucket. I glared at him and got on fire. My whole body was covered in flames. Then I was dry once more. I smiled and looked around, "Where's my horse?" Miyamoto was looking at me still, "helloo? Samuraiiiii, there is a 17 year old kid here with no horse to ride on and look cool..." I walked forward and the horse backed away.
"Woo boy calm down, and my apologies Leo, I am still getting used to your abilities." Said Miyamoto in a embarrassed tone.
"No biggie. So again, where is my horse?" I asked him feeling annoyed.
"Have you looked around you Young Demigod?" He asked me smiling. I knew he felt amused by my not knowing what the hell to do look.
"Sigh..." I looked around and I couldn't believe the view. There where beautiful grassy hills, like an ocean of long green grass that moved with the wind. A village could be seen on the edge of the hills, and rocky mountains were on the north. Somehow I felt a pulse on the mountains direction, like a heart beat, it was slow. "A heartbeat.... The heart.... Life... Fire.." Miyamoto got close to me, I ignored his presence. I felt like I needed to figure out what was calling me. "How far is that Volcano?" I asked The Samurai.
"I'd say about 2 weeks-" I nodded.
"That's not bad, its actually-" I got cut off.
"2 weeks riding in horseback. But since you don't have one you will need to find a way there yourself. I shall wait for you there." He finished saying as he galloped away on his horse.
"I knew it.... I prefer Machines more than humans... I can fix them and smack them when I need to." I said hitting my hammer on my hand. I cracked my neck and took a deep breath, "On we go." I said walking towards the mountain.
As I started I cursed under my breath, "Styx... Now that I see these beautiful skies, I wonder if Festus would have loved to fly and turn things to ash." I said putting my hands behind my neck and kept walking looking cool like always. I mean hello I am Leo Valdez, The new Hot boy in town. I looked around me and noticed the sun hitting the mountain,
"That's weird, I barely woke up... How come the sun is hitting the horizon." I kept thinking, there has to be a reason... Maybe the time here is shorter than it was on earth. Then it hit me like a bowling ball. How could I miss it hahahaha, with my hyper self I might had missed it, but there is no mistaken it, there were two Moons! last night was beautiful and the reflection was super white, meaning.... There are three suns!
"Hahahaha I'm a genius!! Thank you Dads!" I kept laughing and then stopped, as the sun sank and the moons came out, there was a howl that filled the air that came out of nowhere, I felt a chill go down my back. Something was watching me... If I have learned anything of training with Lupa is that when you are alone... You are easy prey for any packs that are in the area, I couldn't hide in trees, no rivers, no caves... Nothing but planes of grass in the night and the whatever was this howl it sounded like it was calling its friends for a midnight Valdez. I calmed down and crouched, I needed to find a way out of this. I could stand my ground and fight them, show them who was superior. But that wouldn't work, I'm not as big as I used to be. And also I have no idea what is hunting me right now. Or its abilities... Damn. I kept crouched and surveyed my surroundings. I saw a couple of yellow eyes...
"Of course... Wolves and those look nasty too. I kept looking and slowly saw more yellow bright eyes, I started counting them, 1-2-3-4-....10. " You know Fates, I was joking on the Me And Percy being the only Unlucky demigods in the universe." I said to the air. As they got closer I decided to stand up and stand my ground, I felt a strong presence in front of me.
"And you must be their Fearless Leader." I said mockingly as a wolf with a scar over his right eye stood up and started walking in two paws towards me growling. "Oh my... What bright teeth's you have! You know for a scarface!" I said trying not to laugh.
"Grrrrrrr" growled the wolf. "You human spawn Grrr... You intrigue me, By now most humans would be asking for forgiveness and help. And yet here you stand jejeje you must have a death wish, which we will grant swiftly." The leader smiled or grinned crazily.
"..."
"Does fear hold you so, that you can not speak?" Asked the wolf leader laughing slightly.
"Oh my, what shall I do now?" I asked him in a girly voice with an England accent. The wolves looked at me confused, seeing a mortal act like this is making them feel uneasy. "Now I must ask all of you... Have you heard of The Greek gods? Or primordials?" I laughed internally. I was about to play the My Dad is this powerful guy card, and when they hear his name they will run in fear!.
"There is no Gods In this realm human, we bow to those of power." Said the Wolf leader slowly. I smiled crazily and laughed none stop. I prepared myself and opened my arms.
"I am Leo Valdez, Son Of Aether Primordial God of Light and Adopted son of Hephaestus and Vulcan." I said laughing maniacally. There was a huge silence. Not even the insects where making sounds, only the wind blew. I stayed with my arms open and looking at the wolf leader.
"Who is that?" Asked the wolf leader. I knew right then I had to drop my act. I brought out my hammer and shadow traveled to the leader and sucker slammed him under the chin, he yelped and fell backwards, I put my left hand in flames and jumped in the air a good 10 feet and made a circle of fire around the wolves, then I summoned a chaos metal wrench and threw it at a wolf just to see what could happen, I heard a yelp and a sizzle sound, I saw that the wolf evaporate. I smiled at the idea, and summoned different tools and in less than an amazing Leo second, I had a homemade slingshot with different wrenches and machine parts made of the same metal.
"Come at me kiddies, Uncle Leo has a present for you!" I said in a taunting voice, they growled and jumped at me, I evaded and kept firing at them, all you could hear through out the night was the clanging of metal and the sound of wolves howls. After a while I was standing in the same spot, scratches around me, one wolf got lucky and bit me on my right leg. "Damn it, stupid fuzz ball bit me" I said to myself while walking towards the Leader.
"...ugh am I dead?" Asked the wolf.
"You wish you were, but My awesomeness is keeping you here..." I put away my weapons and brought out a rope made out of chaos metal and also a few forks. I tied him to a nearby rock and waited till the wolf got up, he looked around and saw me grinning at him.
"Hey sleepy head, I have a few questions for you" I asked him in a funny voice.
"Hmph, I am the Leader of this Pack. I shall not say anything grrrr.." He growled at me, I smiled and nodded.
"Ok... I didn't want to resort to this but, I'm going to have to ask you very nicely now." I said as I brought out my fork, he eyed me weirdly.
"What is that human, are you going to eat me? Hahaha my fur is impenetrable." Laughed the wolf, but came to a stop as I poked his leg. "Aaaahhh STOOOP IT BURNS!!" Screamed the wolf. I just laughed internally and kept poking him with a fork over and over, he had burning marks all over his body and kept mumbling, "no...more...no..." He was about to pass out.
"Oh I can't have you pass out yet." I brought out a medicine that, let's just say will make him feel like he drank 100 Cuban Expresso. "Hahaha this is going to be so much fun. Now Wolfie you have some questions to answer." I said as I brought out more forks, he opened his eyes wide and let out a shriek.
*20 minutes later of Leo's crazy maniacal torture*
"Well thank you for your donation to Leo's Salvation Army, we will make sure to give you a piece of candy for Christmas and a free poking of a fork." I said giggling.
The wolf was passed out on the grass with foam coming out of his mouth, I was going to summon something from my belt but remembered that it has a cool down. "Oh well... I guess I just have to kill you in another way." I turned my right index finger on fire... On bright white fire and poked his head. "Alright back to that mountain."
As I walked calmly towards the mountain which still looked really far away, behind me I heard an explosion and a white beam of light, then it died down. I looked at my finger.... "I got to be careful when poking people with my finger... Hahahaha" the sun came out faster than I though, as the sun hit me. I felt my wounds heal, I bent down and looked at my right leg, the wound healed so fast. I whistled, "Now that is what I call good service. Now where can I hitch a ride?" I said walking in the lone plains of this forsaken place, but thanks to that wolf now I know that this place has people... Or better yet. This world is like a shogun type, according to fuzz ball. There's three races of humanoids,
1- Humans *Which The Hottie Leo Resides*
2- Elves *ugh... I fell like there is a lord of the rings thing coming up. Oh there's that blond elf...*
3- Dwarfs *I heard about them from dad, Hephaestus to be exact. I wonder if they are truly genius in building, I might need to find them...*
"If those Dwarfs are here, they must be in those mountains, let's hope that they are friendly enough to let me learn a few things." I said as I felt someone watching me. "Ahhh come on?! Can't a demigod have a break for once in a while?" I asked myself.
-PERCY-
"Ok, so what's next?" I asked the monk.
"Follow me." He said as we walked through a dark cave, I could hear a river... Or a waterfall. I felt its presence and it was very calming. But the more I expanded my senses to feel the water around me, the more lost I felt and confused. I blocked my mind and slipped to fell down on my butt.
"Ow..." I got up and the monk smiled at me.
"Do not block your mind. Let it discover what is truly around you and find peace." He said slowly and walked away. I catch up to him and let my mind wonder. I felt exposed, but something else was there touching my mind. I ignored it and followed the monk in silence. I could see a light at then end of the cave and I felt anxious to get out from this place. As we left I felt the warmth of the sun on my skin and the monk extended one arm.
"Welcome to the Temple." He said as my eyes adjusted to the brightness and what I saw left my jaw opened. Next to me was a waterfall that gathered below us about 50 feet down, on the bottom there was a lake that had a Buddha Statue in gold sitting in the center of the lake, the statue was easily bigger than Lady Liberty in New York. The statue had some sort of Aura. Behind the Statue where two set of stairs that went up to a Series of Temples, there were 4 big temples with Red and gold inlay, the doors were huge. So big I though there could be giants.
"Perseus?" Asked the monk. I nodded and noticed that I had my mouth opened. I closed it, "very well, follow me." The monk said, but there wasn't any road for us to continue on.
"And how are we going to get there?" I said at the monk. He smiled and jumped... He jumped.... Yup... I ran to the edge and smiled, at the end of the lake, I could see a sphere of water shoot up and catch him. I jumped and screamed, I forgot that I had my mind opened and felt a presence touch mine, something was tugging at it until I let it in.
"Hello young hero." Said the mystical voice. I was surprised but being a demigod not many things surprise me any more.
"Hello voice in my head." I said as I kept falling, I was getting faster and then stopped. I glowed yellow and got pulled towards the statue of the Buddha by an invisible force. Once face to face I was dropped on his opened hand.
"I am Buddha. Welcome to my temple. I can see why my disciple has chosen you apart from the other one.... May I see your memories young Hero?" The voice asked nicely. I felt no hostile intent. I nodded and felt a rush of memories. I could see everything that has happened to me since I was born to now, years old at school with grover. Then the museum, Camp, mom being taken away... Hades, the master bolt. Then it switched to the sea of monsters, the fleece, the labyrinth, the battle of the titans, New Rome, the argo II, Old Greece and old Rome, the war of the giants... Tartarus... The doors of death... Gaea, blood... Betrayal by family and friends alike. Death.. And now.
"You.... Have been through so much young hero. It pains me so, but we will help you heal and find peace in your never ending anger. Now follow my essence into the temple, let it guide you Perseus." Said the Buddha as his shine died down and I was lowered to the floor slowly. I looked back at the statue. I felt a familiar presence inside the Buddha, but ignored it as I followed a miniature version of the Buddha hovering over the steps of the temple.
He went up and I ran behind it, after what felt like hours on a stair master, I made it to the top, breathing heavily. A monk offered me water, I thanked him and drank a cup, I felt a bit of my energy return. The Buddha waved at me and I ran towards it. When I made it to the doors, the Buddha put both his arms on the single huge door and pushed it open. He went through and when I followed, it closed too quickly for me to even go in.
"Hey it closed!" I screamed at the Buddha.
"Thou must prove thyself before entering to the Holy Temple." A voice said inside my head... A voice that sounded more ancient than any I have heard in my entire life. But I nodded and pushed the door. Nothing... I tried everything and the door didn't even budge. I gave up frustrated and sat on the steps of the temple. The sun was going down, I didn't see the Buddha anymore. I kept thinking what I could do to open those doors. I walked back down the steps and made it to the statue. It was nightfall and the moon shined brightly at the lake, I sat near it with my feet inside. I opened my mind and felt the water, it was analyzing me. Thinking if it should trust the new being that is loved by other beings perse. I laughed at the curiosity of this Water, then the water started to rise in front of me and formed into a humanoid figure. No features just a human body of water. It tilted its head and then spoke,
"You have a presence that reminds me of My creator... Hmm no... You are more than that. I can feel them... All of them inside you. But above all you have him close to your heart... Pontus." As it said his name I felt a sudden power surge.
"Oh yes... I can see it in your eyes, the mark of Pontus and his essence is imbedded in your soul young hero... I am Buddha." Said Buddha.
"But how?" I asked it.
"We are one being, but multiple minds. I am the calmness of Buddha." Said the water entity.
"Um okay. Should I call you Calm or Buddha or?" I was very confused... More because I really don't speak with water entities when I ask for help or use my powers over it. But now I feel alien for some reason. "Shit now I'll end up thinking about how every watering hole will have a damn consciousness..." I shuddered at the though.
"So what now?" I asked Buddha. The water figure sat in an Indian pose on top of the water and motioned for me to do the same. "I can't step on water..." I said to it.
"Believe in yourself" I nodded and put my feet on top of the water. I felt the tugging sensation in my stomach and felt the water solidify beneath my feet. I jumped up and down feeling the water like if it was solid ground. I sat down like Buddha and nodded to it.
"Very good. Now thou sees how the lake is calm, but the Waterfall rages behind it...landing on the lake as a powerful force of awakening."
I somehow knew what he meant, but asked anyway. "What do you mean?".
"Your Emotions Perseus... The lake is calm, peaceful. Yet behind it, there is a continues raging force so powerful that it can force you down to your knees. You see the nature of the Ying and Yang. It was chosen by the Asian people of your planet as a way of using both sides. Peace and Chaos. You must be at peace with your emotions. Only then will you be able to go deeper into yourself and bring out your true self and burst out of your old self." I carefully nodded and closed my eyes.
"Close your mind, close your senses. Become empty." My mind was racing with a lot of emotions, memories, actions, regrets... I tried to calm down but they were overwhelming me so much. "Think of that moment of peace that you had in your life." I remember walking with Mom down the street into an Ice cream place that served Blue Ice cream. When she bought me a cup with it I laughed,
-Flashback-
"Mommy why is it Blue like your cookies?" I asked mom confused.
"Come here honey, sit next to me." She said as she picked me up and sat me next to her. "Now this Ice cream, I invented it at the candy store in which they serve it now there! I call it Blue Cookie Ice Cream!" She said at me grabbing my cheek. I laughed and ate a bit. I opened my eyes wide.
"Mommy! It tastes like your cookies!!" I ate it so fast I got a brain freeze. "Owww ow ow ow ow it hurts!" I said rubbing my forehead.
"Its ok it will go away, don't eat it so fast next time." She wiped my mouth with some napkins and grabbed my hand.
"Now come, let's go to the beach." As we walked down the sidewalk she told me something I will never forget.
"Dear son, I want you to know
Day after day, as you grow
Lose your fears, not your confidence
Make meaning of your existence,
Say goodbye to every worry,
Live life king size and be carefree,
These are words, that may be few
But to live well, they will guide you
I love you my Perseus Jackson. And know that your Father Loves you too."
When she finished talking a man walked over from the sandy beach. He had a small beard, black hair. Green eyes and a smile that made my tummy go with butterflies. Mommy hugged him and kissed him, I made an ew face and he laughed,
"It's ok Perseus, I will give you one too come here!" He said pulling me into a hug and kissing my whole face over and over. "Stop daddy, no more!" I kept giggling happily. We sat at the beach and saw the sun set over the sea, Daddy tells me that he will leave for a long time. But that we will see each other once more. I don't want daddy to leave, but mommy tells me that he needs to go because of his duty. He and mom hugged for a long time, mommy and Him cried a little bit, and then he hugged me so hard, "Daddy too hard!" I said Laughing.
"I love you Son...*sniff* I really do not want to leave you behind.... But I must go, but before I go you must know.... I *sniff cries* I will watch you from far away. Always remember that the ocean is your home Son... I love you... And I am sorry!" He kissed me again and hugged us both. Mommy kept saying its ok and he nodded. As he turned to leave he called me, "Perseus." I smiled, "Yes Daddy?".
"Always remember, that you make me so proud and so happy to call you my son.... Take this." I caught it and saw that it was a necklace with a sea shell on it that was white. "It will always guide you to the ocean. It will take you to me. Believe in yourself Son. For you are Perseus Jackson Son of Poseidon." Daddy left and the wind blew past us. Mommy cleaned her face and took a deep breath. "Come Perseus let's go home."
-Flashback end-
"Good, now imagine an empty room in your center." I now found myself in a white room, an endless space. "Feel your powers, try and pass them through here. After that you need to continue by yourself young Perseus." I took a deep breath and felt my powers everywhere. I willed them to come through here, a few seconds later colors burst through. They looked like small fountains of raw Energy slowly falling to the unknown. I walked closer and tried to see how many I had, I counted 13... But why so many?.
"Now this is interesting, all of them have a bit of color, and are small, only two of them are glowing beautifully, one is Sea Green and the other Blue. I out my hand on both of them at the same time and gasped, an emblem in gold Appeared on the sea green revealing the Trident, then on the blue one two waves flew in a semi circle and a sea dragon in the center. I felt such raw power coming from both. It felt like they have been waiting for me for eternity. The energies gathered together to form an orb, it hovered in front of me. I stretched my hand, the orb slowly came to me and disappeared inside of my chest.
"Open your eyes young Perseus. See yourself." As I opened my eyes, I saw that I had frozen everything around me, I could see myself crystal clear. In my right eye it was Sea green with the Trident, while on the left was a dragons face. I lifted my hand and saw that I was holding a Trident. I gasped and looked at it. It was Golden, but it had a green aura over it. Then I felt a sudden pain on my head, I was gasping for air and looked at my reflection. I stood up and looked at myself in awe. I had scales all over my body, they were blue, I turned to see a tail as long as both my arm and leg put together. My face looked the same except for me looking like a blue dragon. I still looked human, but also a type of dragon, I slammed the butt of the Trident on the floor and everything went back to normal. The ice melted quickly and the water Buddha was kneeling before me.
"Welcome Master Perseus, True Sea Dragon God." Said Buddha. I was so confused. I could hear a voice in my head, my conscious was telling me that this was my true self. Then I fell on my knees and saw my normal self on the reflection of the water, I felt tired, heavy and weak.
"It appears that you cannot keep up with that form, it is fine. For now continue meditating until you can open those doors." And with that I was left in the silence of the lake. I looked around me and shook my head.
"What in the world is going on here... The True Sea Dragon God? Could it be because of Pontus and then Poseidon?"
----------------------------
Wow now I am interested in what is happening to Percy, and what about Leo, will he be able to find a Ride?!
