Chapter 10: Party Gone Wrong

Percy smirked as he won another round of mythomagic against Nico.

"This isn't fair! You didn't even know this game existed before you met me! How do you keep winning!?" he said angrily as the creator's son laughed. Bianca rolled her eyes at their antics. "I demand a rematch!"

"Nico, you two have played four rounds already." his sister told him.

"And I want to play a fifth!"

As the siblings argued, Percy scanned the dance hall. Everything seemed normal until three unknown kids, who didn't go here, came in with Grover. Percy didn't hear what they said, but suddenly the girl with spikey black hair grabbed the obvious satyr and started dancing. The other two started dancing as well.

Then there was Thorne. He was near the bleachers, too close in Percy's opinion.

"Percy, are you ok?" the 14-year-old jumped at the sudden voice. He turned to the Di Angelo siblings, his hand grabbing his cane.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You spooked me." he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"Ok?" Bianca said, unsure.

"Let's play another round." Nico smiled.

"Sure!" and so they played another round of Mythomagic.

🌌🌌🌌

Everything happened so quickly that the next thing he knew, they were on the cliff, waves crashing into the rocks below. A fourth person, who Percy recognized as one of the three new people, stood with a sword drawn. Bianca and Nico stood behind Percy, who was in a defensive position. Ahead was Thorne with the body of a lion.

"Shit! Where are Annabeth and the others?" the unnamed boy, who Percy realized was a son of Poseidon, muttered. Percy sighed as he pushed down the top of his cane, activating the built-in mechanic. An imperial gold and celestial bronze blade unfolded at the bottom of his cane.

"Can't go anywhere without a damn monster showing up, can I?" Percy groaned. The friends of the sea scum burst out of the school.

"Percy, what is going on? What happened to your cane? Is that a manticore?" Nico rattled off questions quickly.

"Just stay behind me. I'll keep you both safe." he looked at the siblings and gave them a reassuring smile. He looked at the boy. "You fight that thing. I'll stay here."

The boy nodded as he charged at the beast, who shot out the spikes on his tail at the four. Any that even got close was wacked away by Percy.

The two girls near the school took out their weapons, a dagger for the blonde and a spear and shield for the other, before attacking as well. Grover carefully made his way to them.

"We need to get you three out of here." the satyr told them.

"Not happening. This is the safest spot as of right now." Percy told him with a hard stare as he gave him a once over.

"You don't know that." he countered. Percy growled as he grabbed a necklace around his neck.

"Remodeling," he spoke. The item turned into his cloak and broken mask. "I've been doing this for seven fucking years! I think I know more then you think."

"Woah." Nico looked at Percy, amazed as Bianca looked at him in shock. Grover raised his arms in defeat.

Percy heard the sound of a bow's string and quickly moved everyone closer to the trees. Hunters of Artemis had finally arrived. Just on time too.

Everything went like Percy thought until the manticore, and the blonde girl went over the cliff's edge.

'Shit!'

Ok, this is late, and I'm sorry. I have an explanation on my page if you want to know why. Anyway, I finished listening to Frankenstein the other day. It was interesting.

Anyway, these are your choices for this weeks guidebook chapter:

As always, choose wisely.
