Chapter 6- Frank
Hey there again :)! Lookie, another Frank chapter! Sorry 'bout that, but it's kinda necessary for the plot. Anyway, enjoy the chapter! :D
Frank knew that demigods had dreams more often than not, but tonight, Poseidon (he didn't know how he knew it was Poseidon and not Neptune, but he just did) stared at him, standing in front of an underwater palace, with mermen and mermaids swimming around. "Frank Zhang," he said gravely. "My descendant. You saved my son, Percy yesterday. For that I thank you. As you know, you must go to Rome. When you arrive, go to the Colesium. Asclepius is being held there. But beware. Strong magic is in place. the gift I bestowed upon your ancestor will not be of any help. Only one god can defeat this person, but you must prove yourselves to be worthy first. Your friend, Jason Grace, together with is the only one who can free Asclepius. You, however, have the most important role to play. The one imprisoning Asclepius seeks revenge on Asclepius' father. To defeat this person, you and the others aboard your ship must work together to free Asclepius and save your friend." Poseidon waved his hand through the air and the dream dissolved, and Frank awoke with a start.
Someone was knocking gently at Frank's door. "Frank? Sorry to wake you, but we need everyone in the mess hall now," Piper said gently.
"Okay." Frank got up, washed, dressed and was in the mess hall in less than five minutes.
"Okay, so since Sleep-A-Lot decided to join us, tuck in while I give you the good news and the bad news." Food appeared on everyone's plates. Frank decided on a simple jam doughnut. Percy wasn't present and Annabeth's eyes looked tired. It had been a day
since the fight, and Percy was still out cold. Frank didn't know what he would do if he lost one of his best friends. His thoughts were interrupted by Leo who rubbed his hands together. "So! Good news is, we've almost made it to Rome. Bad news is, we can't fly, and I need supplies. My dad visited me in a dream last night and said to go to the some ruins in Spain? They're supposed to be near where we are now."
"Can you dock the Argo II then?" Piper asked.
Leo faked a look like he was offended. "Of course Uncle Leo can dock the Argo II! How could you question my amazing talents?"
Piper chuckled. "Sorry."
10 minutes later, the Argo II was docked.
"I'd say only two of us should go," Hazel suggested.
"I agree with Hazel. Me and-," Annabeth started to say but Hazel interrupted.
"You should stay and take care of Percy, Annabeth. I think I should go, if there's metal involved."
"And me too," Frank said eagerly.
"That would work," Piper agreed.
"Okay, so now that we've decided, you guys need to get me one sheet of hammered industrial-grade celestial bronze, approximately 2 square metres, thickness of no less than 12 millimetres, and-"
"We get it," Frank grumbled.
Hazel laughed and said,"Alright then, let's go." Frank took her hand and they walked off the Argo II.
"Where can we find those ruins?" Frank asked.
"They should be near, but.. wait." Frank looked at her.
"I can sense a lot of celestial bronze in that direction." Hazel pointed straight ahead
Frank kissed her on the cheek. "Let's go then."
The two demigods followed a path of stones that led in the direction Hazel pointed at before. After about 10 minutes of walking, it started to rain, but finally, they found the ruins. "Wow," Frank said.
"The mosaic looks amazing ," Hazel said. She closed her eyes and tried to find the celestial bronze. It seemed to be at the far end of the ruins. "The bronze is over there, at the far end."
To Frank, the lack of tourists was eerie. Maybe it's the rain"Isn't this weird?" Frank asked as he and Hazel walked to the bronze.
"What's weird?" Hazel replied.
"That there's no one here. We should get the bronze and-" A bright light flashed across the ruins and a drakon appeared, roaring. Hazel gasped and Frank gripped his sword.
"That's a drakon," Hazel exclaimed. "We need to get rid of it to take the celestial bronze." Frank nodded. "Distract it. I've got a plan," Hazel said.
Okay, so.. shorter than normal I guess but I wanted to get this one out, and it doesn't end awkwardly.
I want to write a new and original story for my other account
