《People Meet Percabeth》Nicola Parker Part l
Advertisement
Nicola Parker's POV:
Hi. My name is Nicola Parker. I am 14 years old and the daughter of Zeus. I know, the gods were not good at the Big Three pact. One normal, un special day, I was walking down the beach at Camp Half Blood trying to find good shots to photograph, picking at one of the loose threads in my distressed jeans, when I stopped because I heard the low murmuring of voices. I inched closer, my hand on my sword hilt when I recognized the voices. It was Percy and Annabeth or "Percabeth" as the camp called them. They were sitting there, peacefully, on the sand, where the tide could tickle their toes, holding hands Annabeth's head on Percy's shoulder. I brush my blue hair out of my matching blue eyes that had escaped my ponytail. My hair is naturally black but I dyed a streak of it electric blue. I shuffle closer the sand muffling my presence.
"But Wise Girl..." Percy complaints. I smile. They have the cutest nicknames for each other. It's only a matter of time before Percy pops the question.
"But Seaweed Brain..." Annabeth replicates Percy's whine perfectly.
"Owl Face," Percy shoots back. Oh no. I know where this is going. They are going to have an insult war, aren't they?
Annabeth sits up and squares her shoulders. She meets grey to green. "Oh, you did not just go there!" I facepalm. "Kelp Head!"
"Hey!" Percy says. "Only Thalia can call me that So Called Wisdom Girl!" Yep. Insult war is activated.
Annabeth raises her eyebrows in disbelief. "So Called Wisdom Girl? Is that the best you could come up with Half Faced Fish?"
Percy nods. "Yes, it is Mrs. Jackson." It is as if time stopped. The ocean stops crashing. The air stops vibrating. Everything is dead silent. I widen my eyes and pull out my camera. If this is going where I think it is, I think I need to be recording this. I press Record.

Annabeth blinks stunned. "What?" She stutters. Percy pulls out a box from his back pocket and gets down on one knee. I can barely contain my squeals.
"Annabeth, Wise Girl, you have made my life amazhang since you said, "' You drool in your sleep."' Annabeth laughs a clear sharp sound. "Will you do me the immense honor of marrying me?"
Annabeth gets out a barely audible yes before jumping into his arms and kissing Percy full on the lips. I press end on my camera. PERCABETH IS GETTING MARRIED! When I look up from completely fangirling I see Percabeth back in their original position.
"You know Percy," Annabeth says, thoughtfully. "We've been married since we were twelve." Percy's mouth drops around the same as mine. Which is a lot.
"Whaa?" He asks smartly. Annabeth smiles even wider if that's possible.
"In Ancient Greece throwing an apple at a girl was a proposal. Remember on our first question when we were playing Hackey Sacks with that apple? Well, you threw an apple at me." Percy's and I's mouth are still positively gaping. "But you knew that right?" Annabeth seems to be enjoying Percy's disbelief.
"Of course Wise Girl!" Percy pulls himself together. "Would you like the ring?"

13.AI
AI means Artificial Intelligence. But those words don't match Al, either of them. Neither Artificial, nor Intelligent. At least not at the beginning. No, an AI requires input, trial & error, and careful observation. But at that point, what makes it any different than human? How are binary choices any different than the choices in a human life. I wager that there is no difference. But what will he think?

Wings of Sorrow
Tension permeates the city of Bleakridge as forces within its walls struggle for supremacy. Grim Thorne, the disinherited son of the Earl, is a fly caught in the web of power struggles between these forces. When Grim closes his eyes, he can still see the bodies piled high from the first day of occupation. The day he was branded a bastard in the southern fashion. The day his father let them. Soldiers from the south bearing green cloaks and royal seals maintain order in the streets of Bleakridge, ensuring that the lifeblood of commerce continues to flow through the port city. In the slums beyond the outer wall, the Sons of the Reaper lurk. Some call them heroes, others villains. But all fear them for their relentless devotion to the old ways and the freedom that entails. In the castle above the city, resides the Earl of Bleakridge. The man who bent the knee and saved the lives of his people, if not their souls. After twenty years of occupation, the tension is coming to a head and Grim has to choose. Sympathetic to the Sons, duty bound to his father, and forced into service to the king. He must rise above the brand on his neck and decide where his true loyalties lie. But, after so long, it can be hard to tell who is deserving of loyalty. The King’s men who enforce order with a blood-soaked iron fist? The Sons who more resemble terrorists and crime lords than revolutionaries? Or the father who watches the bloodshed and does nothing? In the end, it is always the place of the young to bear the sins of the old.

The Pharaoh's Dancer
"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light.She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance.---cover by @AddietayDoes contain reference to some mature themes that may not be suited for a younger audience.
