《Perseus Jackson: A New Order》The back stab and the reunion
Advertisement
It was foolish of me to think that I would be spared from my dreams. I was currently standing to the side of the Olympian throne room. Here, the six were speaking about my arrival.
It was mostly filled with Annabeth screeching that Praedo was probably my spy and that they should kill him.
Even Athena looked shocked at this but the most angry was Poseidon. He slammed his trident on the ground, forming cracks in the marble and yelled at her. "He is my son, just like Percy was. You harm a hair on him and you will face the wrath of the seas. Even your mother cannot protect you from killing an innocent demigod child. He has been through enough," he roared.
Athena nodded in approval. "As mush as I hate to say it," she relented. "Barnacle beard has a point. We cannot go about killing innocent demigods. I will not stand by it like how I did when you almost killed that other boy Noah," she said sternly.
Leo then burst out laughing. "Yeah and he taught her well for that," he said in between a fit of giggles.
Jason nodded, "Like any other child of uncle Poseidon, he's talented with the sword."
Annabeth huffed and stormed out of the thrown room.
Hera looked at her disaprovingly. "That girl is getting out of hand. Her hubris is getting extremely dangerous and this is causing us to make rash decisions. I do not want to displease the warriors of chaos or Percy. They are true heroes of Olympus along with the rest of you five and I will not let one prideful girl ruin our ties with them," she said sternly. All the Olympians including Athena nodded at this.
Hera stood up from her throne in an instant. "She's going to kill the child," she said alarmed.

Zeus banged his bolt on the ground. "We are prevented from acting," he said. At this moment, I was trying to exit the dream, but it didn't seem to work.
"And so is she," Poseidon stood up thundering, "I can't loose him too," he said gruffly. "He even eats his cereal everyday," he added, looking towards Demeter with a glint in his eyes. What he said was true, I loved cranberry and cereal mixed with cold milk.
Demeter gasped and flashed out, causing several other gods and goddesses to flash out as well.
I was pulled out of my sleep when I felt a searing pain just in the small of my back, where my Achilles heel was, and there was a group of screams and shouts.
I opened my eyes weakly, to see myself steaming even though I had lost my invincibility. I looked up and saw Annabeth standing over me with a dagger above me. When I turned, she plunged it into my heart and I felt my consciousness fading. I was pulled back, when a tub of water was thrown over me. It was sea water so I understood that it was my dad's doing.
She tried stabbing me again, but she was smacked across the face brutally by a pillow from Bobby and a red plastic cup with cool aid was thrown at her by Dakota. If she was mortal, her head would have separated from her body. Roman legionnaires love hard pillows.
When she fell down in a daze, Leo and Jason restrained her, while Frank and Hazel came over to me.
Apollo poured water on my chest and wrapped it with bandages, while the gods and demigods looked at my back in shock.
I couldn't turn around and see what it was and I gasped in pain, when I tried to. Piper then took a picture of it on her phone and showed it to me.

The skin on my back was completely burnt, while there was smoke coming out of the stab wound. "Percy," Frank gasped, and hugged me tightly. The big Chinese Canadian baby man started to cry on my shoulder. He was soon joined by the other four and my cohort friends. The shadows shifted and spat out an olive skinned boy with shaggy black hair and obsidian eyes. He too came over and joined in the group hug. I patted the weeping Frank and Hazel on the back, while I nodded reassuringly to the other five.
There was a gasp of pain, as Athena crumpled on the floor and Annabeth stood over her with a dagger clutched in her hand. She was glowing dangerously and I looked at my cohort friends, who were shielding their eyes. Mercury and Bacchus grabbed the demigods and flashed away, while my friends formed a protective wall around me.
I meanwhile, was trying to unlock my powers and get my immortality back, but it didn't budge. I tried kicking, punching and slamming against the force that kept it away, but it just didn't want to budge. It was like one of those the old, rusted locks that give you hard time in opening the door. Damn it Chaos. Use a password lock next time please.
Annabeth released a blast and all my friends and the gods were blown away. I brought out my Stygian Iron sword as my pyjamas didn't have pockets, so riptide was currently under my pillow, which was on the other side of the room. Don't ask how.
She then started to slash and stab at me. I had a hard time defending, because she was using godly strength against me and I was still on my bed. Unlike Jason and Leo during the war games, she was going all out on me. I barely defended myself, before I tasted ozone and she was blasted backwards by Zeus' masterbolt.
I looked towards him thankfully, but he just shrugged it off. "Lock her up," Zeus commanded. Vulcan, my father and Apollo approached her, but she flashed away. "Iris," Zeus called out.
"She's disappeared," the voice replied.
Zeus then looked at me. "We know about the threat Perseus," he said. "We'll explain to the seven later. And before you say it, yes we are trying to be better people," he said. I nodded to him, before my vision started blur.
I gasped in pain, "I don't have the Achilles heel anymore, I lost it when I crossed the Tiber," I said weakly. "I don't know why that stab effected me in such a way," I made out, before my world went black.
