Chapter 2

Percy pov

I heard Esmeralda and Caspian's screams. When I got to them they were out cold. I hastily poured water on them. They sat up perfectly dry then came the shock. They had wings. One black one white. "What the Hades happened?" I asked. "Mental training. Went a little two well. Caspian try the water trick." Esmeralda said. Caspian concentrated and a ball of water appeared. "Cool." the Stolls said. A flash of light. "What the Hades were you thinking?" Argea said. "He needed to expand his mind. He was getting nowhere. I didn't mean for our wings to come in early." Esmeralda said. "Don't you get it you two are the ones of the prophecy.

'The winged twins of early origin

Shall earn their wings early

And then their story will begin

And purge the night of the tendrils of unmannerly.'"

She recited a prophecy. "That was our fate all along a prophecy where nothing makes sense." Esmeralda stormed away. Travis went to calm her. "No man let Caspian. Good luck." I said stopping Travis. Caspian nodded and he followed Esmeralda.

Esmeralda pov

I was throwing knives at a target. "What do you want Caspian?" I said. "Are you okay?" he asked. I pulled out the knives. "I'm just frustrated that mom didn't tell us." I said. "You knew her. I didn't know my father or mom." He said. "What happened to him?" I asked. "He was murdered by our uncle Miraz." He said. "And they say family are the only people who will have your back in a dire situation." I said. I threw the knife. Dead center. "If you're this good why do you practice?" he asked. "It's an outlet and you can never be too good. Frankly I know how family can be backstabbers. A few years ago there was this son of Hermes named Luke. He was like family to us all. He betrayed us to Kronos but then he saw sense and killed himself along with Kronos." I said. "Oh." He said. "Yeah but don't mention it. Annabeth and Thalia might kill you." I said. "Why would I kill Caspian?" Thalia asked. "Luke." I said. She nodded. "I'm gonna Iris Message Chiron and Artemis. Where are the Drachmas?" Thalia asked. "In my bag." I said. She nodded and went to get them.

"Hello Esmeralda how is the quest going?" Chiron asked. "Alright but I have a roman twin brother and I'm a protector." I flexed my wings. "Oh." He said. "I know about the prophecy. listen has anyone attacked or anything like that." I asked. "Yes actaully, a witch in white asked to talk to you." he said. "The White Witch." Peter said. "We'll work on our powers and then try to come back." I said.

"Come on Caspian. If you can't make your pain threshold higher we will never defeat Kronos." I said. "Esmeralda unlike you I haven't been trained by mom." He said. "Lucky you Roman mom is worse than Greek mom. Let's try pooling our experience." I said. We sat in the same position when we got our wings. I closed my eyes. Our experience and memories molded together until we were one. "Let's try again." He said. We pooled our energy. A small rip then a full blown portal appear. Unlike other portals this one was clear. Caspian and I stepped through.

Chiron about had a heart attack when he saw us. I giggled then burst out laughing. "Esme!" Lucy said running to hug me. She tackled me. Caspian was cracking up. "Don't laugh brother." I said. "You have a brother! no way!" she said clambering off of me. "White witch first introductions second." I said walking to the hill. We hid our wings.

"Why Caspian you survived the war? very surprising." She said. "Wait you are the White Witch? No offense but I am soo much stronger than you." I said. She whipped out her wand and I stepped behind the barrier and drew my dagger and sword. We stared at each other before she put her wand away. I turned and walked through the portal. Caspian followed suit.

"Did you sense them?" Percy asked. "Who?" I asked. "Kronos and the idiot who is hosting him." Percy said. "No but I'm gonna make a barrier similar to Camp Half-Blood's in Narnia. Where is the spot where magic is strongest?" I asked. "Aslan's How." Lucy said. "Okay. Leo if I gave you a list of herbs could you pull them out of the tool belt." I asked. "I think can but it will take awhile." He said. I gave him the list. "Okay when we get to Aslan's How I'll have it done." He said. "Come on boss we haven't got all day." Blackjack said. "Blackjack did you just talk?" Hazel asked. "In Narnia most animals talk." Edwin explained. "Okay guys. I'll turn into a horse and you can load me up." I said.

When we loaded up with Leo on me. "Hold on tight Leo." I said as we started on the way. "You make a very pretty horse." Caspian said. "Yeah but geez Leo you need to cut back on the donuts. You're really heavy." I said. "Thanks Gypsy Horse." Leo said. "Call me that again and I'll throw you off." I said. We arrived at the How a few hours later. Leo forcefully slide off, meaning I threw him off. I turned back into a human and cracked my back. "I'm not that heavy." Leo said. "Yes you are." Bolts, Leo's Fetus copy, said. Leo pulled ragwort out of the belt. "Done." He said.

I pulled out a few potion bottles, a cauldron, and a map of Narnia. I mixed the ingredients. I'm not going to say the recipe or you will try to make and end up exploding your house or street depending if you double it. The batch went poof. Everyone jumped back. I coughed. I filled up the bottles.
