Ch6 - Where Percy Matches Keefe

Athour's note:

I think now you are getting a little tired of dream visions and are waiting for some real crossover. I promise Leo's dream is the last, and it's not from the book. 

Disclaimer:

I am not Shannon Message or Rick Riordan. Now guess what I own? You are correct! My hands and my keyboard. Lets get started.

Leo's POV:

Leo was in a room with glittering white wall and crystals embedded in its walls. It was filled with people. Twelve of them wore clothes that would have weighted as much as tacos. Leo had once worn a Taco suit (don't ask. Long story). 

 The others wore fancy clothes too, but not as heavy looking. Four super weird people were there too. One was covered in rock. Other was covered in ice. The third was splotches of color like a person hit by paint blobs. Leo knew that personally. Courtesy of Rachel Elizabeth Dare, their oracle. The paint took years to remove. There was just a floating cloak of a person too.

A girl with blond hair and brown eyes, about seventeen, was speaking and was getting interrupted again and again. She was beautiful, in fact, all the people in the room were, but Leo was more focused on what she was saying.

"And then, they had six kids. They were gods. Smaller then titans but more perfect. Kronos ate five of them..." 

Ah, she was telling these people the Greek Story? This was going to be interesting. 

"He did...what?" A lady with blonde ringlets said.

"He ate them." She said patiently. If she was explaining Greek myths, she had to be patient, "He felt threatened that they would kill him and take over the universe, so he opened his jaw whole and swallowed them."

"So you mean, the gods died?" a boy with a brown hair asked. He was sitting close to the girl who was speaking. Too close.

"Nope. They were gods. Immortal. They lived in their stomach."

"That's not possible." A guy said, he was normally dressed, at least, he didn't have any crystals in his clothes. But for some reasons he had dinosaurs all over his tunic. "Our stomach is hardly the size of a fist..."

"Elwin, the gods can change shape and size."

"But our stomach is filled with Hydrochloric acid."

"Elwin, while listening to this, please forget all about science, or else, you will go insane."

Elwin did not look satisfied.

"Anyways, so to save the sixth baby's life, Rhea took him to a random island and gave birth. Wait, no, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a random island. Nevermind. So, she fed Kronos a rock."

"What? He just ate the rock? Like, he didn't even see it?" A guy with rather good looking hair said.

"No! he didn't, because the godly energy scared him."

"But he could at least feel the difference in the shape."

"It was a baby shaped rock. And before you ask me, mother earth, Gaea, gave a baby shaped rock to Rhea. So where was I? Oh yes. Kronos ate 5 babies and one rock."

"Must have stomach full all the time then." A blonde guy with much more handsome features than the rest noted.

"Gods Keefe, I can't imagine what would happen when you meet Percy." (A/N: Isn't it just cute when she openly fangirls? )

How did this girl know about Percy? But she knew that they were going to meet Percy, that meant that they had heard the prophecy. 

"Why?" the ice covered woman asked.

"Let's not get distracted. Sophie you continue." A woman, who was sitting on the other side of Sophie said. She was rubbing circles on the back of her palm.

"Yeah. Thanks, mom. So, Zeus, that's the sixth kid, grew up and became a cup bearer in Kronos palace. Cup bearer is a person who gives a person drinks."

"If the lord of universe became cup-bearer, he would have never heard the end of it." A girl with brown hair and teal eyes said.

Leo thought that the girl had got it right. Poseidon would never leave it alone.

"He wasn't the lord of universe then, Biana. So, the titans used to have lots of drinking contests. Like, who would drink nectar fastest. And Kronos was the best."

"Naturally," Keefe said, "Lord of universe has to be the fastest drinker, or else he gets defamed. Or maybe he thought that defeating his brothers would make him more popular." Leo was starting to like this kid.

Sophie decided to ignore him, "So, one day, Zeus started boasting about how fast a drinker Kronos was..."

"Yep. That was definitely worth boasting." A cute guy with curly, strawberry blonde hair said sarcastically. 

"And he announced a drinking contest. He gave a mixture of potions to Kronos that would make him barf out his siblings..."

Everyone gagged except for Keefe, he said, "Cool."

"And gave the others a potion that would make them sleepy."

"Good plan. Except that the sleep potion would take a while to settle." A man with wrinkles and blotches all over his body said. 

"Yes, but it would give them benefit in battle." Sophie said and stopped for a moment to collect her thoughts. 

Leo took that moment to look around the room. Half of the people there, mostly the heavily dressed people with circlets seemed to be listening to her only to humour her. 

Sophie's mom was looking at her strangely, like she was seeing her daughter in a new light today. Maybe she thought Sophie was going crazy? 

The teenagers in the room were genuinely interested in what she had to say, and from what he could tell, even the snow, stone, paint assortment of people were listening too. 

A more handsome version of Lucius Malfoy was staring at Keefe, as if telling him with his eyes to stop making jokes and embarrassing him.

Sophie continued, "Back to story, Kronos drank it and barfed out three girls and two boys and a slimy baby shaped rock. Kronos was giddy, so were his guards, but they stood up dizzily and sheathed their swords..." A bunch of seven foot tall guys with grey skin and super huge bulk tightened their grips on their swords.

"They turned into eagles and flew away to the island where Zeus grew up."

"And they lived happily ever after?" a woman with a mask and jewel embedded braids asked.

"No. It's not even close. But at this rate, I'll not be done in days so I'll sum it up in short, the gods went to Tartarus, and the Cyclopes made them weapons. Zeus got a super electrified lighting bolt, Poisdon, that's the fifth kid, got a trident with the power of the sea, and Hades, the fourth kid got the helm of darkness. It let him control fear. After that..."

"What did the girls get?"

"Um. Well they didn't get anything." She answered. Sophie looked guilty. Why would that be? 

"That's just not fair."

"It's just like humans to do it."

"The girls didn't even protest?"

Leo noticed that even the boys were joining in the protests. Sophie interrupted the outraged sprout, "Wait. Wait. First, they were gods not humans, so don't blame humans on it. Second, the girls did protest, but they didn't have much time because the jailer Kampe was returning."

"What's the point of being all powerful gods if they couldn't even take down a jailer?" a man with closed cropped hair and pointy ears said. He looked more like elf."

Well, they weren't trained in combat, Councilor Brontasorous. They were fresh out of stomach bath." Keefe said.

"Don't call me Brontasorous, Mr. Sencen..." the Councilor began but was cut down by Sophie. She opened her mouth to say something but a sound of crashing and clanking came from her.

That woke Leo up. When you sleep in a cabin with experiments running around, you have to sleep with one eye open.

Turned out that it was just one of their cabin experiments. He tried to sleep again but couldn't. The sun was starting to rise, so he decided to wake up. 



Reyna's Pov:

Reyna sat on her bed, clutching her blanket tightly. She was cold and sweating. The memories of her dreams reverberating in her mind. 





Author's note:

What made someone like Reyna that scared? I assure you that she has a proper reason to be so scared. 

I can see why Shannon Messager loves cliffhangers so much.
