《Hero Of Olympus》I complain to my uncle
Advertisement
The next morning, I woke with freezing cold water being splashed on me.
I opened my eyes, expecting it to be the Stolls, but saw a grinning James instead.
"Leave me alone," I mumbled and hid myself under my pillow. "What time is it?"
"Four AM," James replied.
I groaned even further and tried going back to sleep, but I was soon dragged out of bed and dumped on the floor.
"Quick Perce, I heard someone sneaking out of their cabin and going into the forest. I didn't see anything but I heard the footsteps."
"Alright," I groaned and slipped my shoes on. "Let's go."
James grinned and the two of us slipped out of the cabin and went over towards the forest.
As we crept through the forest, a hand covered my mouth and I was dragged behind a tree.
I looked over and saw the Stolls.
"It was you?" James questioned. "I never thought Hermes kids liked waking up at four in the morning."
Travis shook his head and whispered, "We followed someone here as well. We were-"
"Setting up our next prank when we hear a cabin door close and someone walking off towards the woods," Connor finished.
There was a small beam of light coming from the creek, making us peek around the tree.
All our eyes widened when we saw who it was and what they were doing.
"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept this offering and show me Athena," Annabeth said.
A mildly annoyed Athena appeared in the rainbow.
"What is it that you want at this time Annabeth?" Athena asked, putting down her book. "Can't it wait till morning?"
"No, mom, Percy came back. Our plan didn't work. The only other option we have is to kill him or break him from the inside to the point he kills himself."
I could believe neither my ears, not my eyes.
"You can't kill him Annabeth," Athena said sternly, "despite how much I hate him, he fell into hell for you. You can't just kill him!" Athena said.
"Then what do we do?"
Athena thought for a second and paled. "I'm sorry Annabeth, we shouldn't do this. What if someone finds out?"

"What can they do to us? You have Lord Zeus on your side. What if we break Percy? I can use his brother against him and cheat on him with his brother. Then you can do something."
Athena stayed pale and stared at her daughter, "No Annabeth, what I thought off is too extreme. I cannot do something that bad."
"Tell me," Annabeth begged.
Athena thought for a second and shrugged. "I can persuade Poseidon to disown his son. Then, I can get Ares to kill off his family and ask my father to banish him from Olympus. We'll then need Hecate and Hypnos to help us turn his friends against him."
Annabeth's eyes glinted with malice. "Then let's do this," she said.
Athena nodded slowly and waved her hand through the Iris message, cutting it off.
Annabeth put on her Yankees cap and walked off back to the Athena cabin.
I stared at my friends, who like me, all had their mouths open.
I hear someone curse like a sailor behind me, calling Annabeth some names that would make Arion proud.
I spun around to see a grimy and tired Leo with fire in his eyes.
"Hey, I was working late on a new project," he said gesturing to his phone that was recording.
"I recorded it as well," Connor and Travis said together.
I said down and looked at my feet. I was trying to hold back the tears but they were already spilling out.
"Can I set her on fire?" Leo asked, his form lighting up and flickering with fire.
"Let's go back to the Poseidon cabin and discuss more about this," James said.
I nodded and the five of us snuck back into the Poseidon cabin.
Once we had closed the door and Leo had scanned the cabin with his phone to make sure no one was invisible, we sat down on the bunks.
"After all I've done," I muttered, anger replacing my sadness. "That bitch."
"We should report this to Dad and Chiron," James said.
"Yeah and execute her," Connor said.
"Painfully," Travis added.
"Slowly," Leo added.
We did after all have proof. "When do we inform them?" I asked them.

"Now!" Leo said.
"The sooner, the better," Travis added.
"Let's do this," James said.
I smiled and hugged my friends. "Thanks for being there for me guys."
"That's what friends are for," Leo said, grinning.
"We'll go by Pegasi," I suggested.
"I'll get Festus," Leo said and ran off.
I nodded to my friends and we ran towards the stables.
I had just brought out Blackjack, Guido, Porkpie and Digital out, when the cleaning harpies flew towards us. Digital was one of the newer Pegasi. His coat was grey, with a pixelated patern.
"Crap," I muttered as the harpies neared us.
Connor, Travis, James and I pulled out our swords and prepared to fight, but the harpies flew away when I felt the flapping of wings behind me.
I turned around and found Festus, with new rocket boosters and a digit control panel attached to his back.
We grabbed our Pegasi and flew at supersonic speeds towards Olympus. Leo meanwhile, was whooping at the top of his lungs as Festus zoomed through the new ght sky, looking like a comet.
We arrived on Olympus in only a few minutes.
We dismounted and ran through the streets, while James lagged behind, marveling the beauty of the city.
"Hey why are you going towards Zeus' palace?" James asked, catching up.
"Trust me," I replied.
We reached the front of Zeus' palace and notice that there was someone on the garden on the swing.
We approached them and I noticed it was my uncle and aunt.
They spotted us and raised their eyebrows. "You're lucky I haven't blasted you with my bolt yet Jackson," my uncle said.
"Uh sorry for barging in Lord Zeus, but my friends and I just found something out and we think you should see it."
Leo pulled out his phone and handed it over to Hera. "Hello Tia," he said.
Hera smiled and grabbed the phone and played the video. As they did, their eyes kept widening.
Once the video finished playing, they stared at us in shock. "This is treason!" Hera exclaimed.
"Now we know how you ended up in Alaska and why you called me and disturbed me," Zeus said, stroking his beard.
"Poseidon!" Hera called out.
"Yes sister?" My dad asked. He looked towards us and smiled.
"Watch this," Zeus said and tossed Leo's phone to him.
Leo yelped. "Please take care. I just made it an hour ago. Its demigod signal proof. It also has-"
He was interrupted when the ground started shaking. "Close your eyes heroes," Hera warned.
We did so just in time to hear and explosion and I felt my skin become extremely hot.
The light soon dimmed down but the earthquake continued.
"Quit it with your tantrums," Zeus yelled at my dad. "You almost vapourized your son and did Athena's job for her."
The earthquake stopped and my dad rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "My bad," he muttered.
"What's her punishment?" My dad asked Zeus. "Banishmen? Mortality? Tartarus?" He asked hopefully.
"I'll have a word with her," Zeus said, making Hera huff. "You can deal with the demigod," he said.
"Death!" My dad exclaimed, getting ready to teleport, but was stopped by Hera.
"Why don't we let this play out and see how Athena plans to do this? Will Poseidon fall for it? Will Ares, Hypnos and Hecate agree with her? How will the demigods react?"
Zeus smiled at his wife in pride. "Let's do that. We'll keep an eye on your family in case Ares falls for whatever Athena has in mind."
I nodded and bowed to the three gods and left the palace along with my friends.
"Oh and next time you barge in I might blast you with my bolt," Zeus called after me.
I smiled to myself. It wasn't a meeting with my uncle without a threat.
"That was cool," Leo exclaimed, jumping around like a child on a sugar rush. In fact, a child would be better than Leo after eating something sweet. I can't really talk though, seeing as I'm also a teensy bit, alright extremely, hyperactive.
"We're like undercover detectives," James said smirking.
"This is going to be fun," Connor said rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
"I can't wait to see their faces," Travis added gleefully.
This was indeed going to be interesting.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends twenty-eight years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.
