Chapter 12: Demigod Dreams
When Chiron had told Percy and his siblings, they would be staying in the Hermes cabin, Percy had two thoughts.
'No way in hell am I sleeping in a cabin filled with thieves.'
'But Luke and my siblings will be there.'
In the end, Percy ended up camping outside of the Hermes cabin. For some reason, a lot of the aphrodite campers would either hit on him, not that he knew, or try to give him a makeover.
Percy being the A: TLA fan he was, made a tent out of the earth.
☠️☠️☠️
Percy laid against a sleeping bag that Luke might have stolen from the camp store.
"Hey, Percy?" speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
"Yeah, Luke?" Percy sat up.
"We're playing capture the flag tomorrow night against the hunters. I thought you should know." Luke smiled at Percy.
"Thanks." Luke stood there awkwardly for a bit before turning back around. Percy could hear the creaking of the steps before they stopped. After a few seconds, they started back up, and soon Luke was back at the stone structure's pseudo doorway.
"Are you gonna be ok out here? It is the middle of the winter." Luke seemed genuinely concerned, which made Percy smile.
"I'll be fine, Luke."
"But what if it starts snowing? Or raining? Or both?"
"If that happens ill sleep in the cabin, so calm down."
"Right." he nodded. "But what if?"
Percy groaned loudly. "Go to bed, Luke!"
Eventually, luke did go to bed, quietly wishing ut did snow so that Percy had to come inside.
Once Luke went inside, Percy fell back on to the sleeping bag with a sigh. A wave of exhaustion washed over him. He got into the sleeping bag and used his leather jacket as a pillow.
☠️☠️
Percy found himself back in the underworld, a gaping hole in front of him. This dark energy seemed to radiate from it.
The prince of the dead knew what this was. He had passed this very spot every day while training. He looked off and saw his father's palace in the distance.
"Perseus Jackson." a timeless voice called to him. Percy looked back into the pit with an expressionless face. "You have been wronged by the gods."
Flashes of his life came as the voice spoke.
"Your father left you to fend for yourself." moments of when he was on the run filled his mind. "Forever scarred." his face started to burn. "And made into an errand boy to another god." the missions he had been sent on came up, but only the bad parts. "Join us, Perseus. Make the gods pay for what they did to you."
Percy sat there for a second before he answered.
"You don't know a thing about me." he started. The night he met, his father came to mind. "My father is Hades, who has done nothing to wrong me." the burning in his scar faded. "My scar says I survived, and I wear it with pride." the good memories of his missions and Hades being an excellent father to him. "And those 'errands' as you call them was my way of repaying my father." Percy smiled. "So, I am fine with what I got, but thanks for the offer."
Percy turned to leave as the voice tries to get his attention back. It was a little hard to move like he was trying to walk in jello.
"Better luck next time, dude." he took a step and found himself somewhere else. He was on a mountain, hard to tell where, and in front of him was the daughter of Athena holding up what looked like a huge boulder. She looked tired, but if she were to let go, it would kill her.
Percy wanted to help her, but this time he couldn't move. A dark laugh fills the room. Percy tries to call out to the child of wisdom, but he had no voice to call with. His vision starts to fade to black as he struggles to move, speak, anything.
☠️☠️
Percy sat up, his scar burning and covered in sweat, hearing the tired feet of campers and the breakfast horn in the background. He fell back with a groan, covering his eyes from the sparkles of light with his arm.
"I hate demigod dreams," he muttered.
"Wake up, Percy! We have a long day ahead of us." Luke called.
Percy groaned loudly.
