Chapter 20 - A Quest?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hermonie couldn't believe she was really here, on Olympus. It looked like this was really going to work out. Poseidon looked over at her with a slight grin. They were standing by the elevator, the view from here was incredible. "Ready to go?" He asked she twitched pulling her mind back to reality and looked over at him with an answering grin.
"Iv been fighting for 2 years to get here, but it always just seemed so unreal that I would actually make it, and now here I am standing on Mt. Olympus." She said he nodded.
"A bit surreal I suppose. Come, the sooner you speak to Zeus the better." He said she frowned at him for a moment then nodded. They disappeared again reappearing at the doors to the council room. Hermonie jumped when she realized Poseidon had gone from looking like a normal human to being giant sized. She gave him an odd look at this he smiled slightly. " Just be polite and you should be fine." He said pushing the door open, he walked in heading for his throne and sitting down. Hermonie looked around suitably impressed, before looking at the God sitting in the center throne, Zeus. He was glaring at her, but she wasn't to worried. She recognized that particular look, Orion wore it a lot. Sure he was angry, but he wasn't angry at her.
"Lord Zeus." She said politely his eyes narrowed a hair still glaring.
"Where is Orion?" He asked flatly she sighed.
"Currently he is still in the world we were taken to. I don't know how to explain where that is besides that its ruled by the Egyptian Gods. I can find my way back without too much difficulty, but getting there will require more power then I have." She answered promptly. Zeus looked a little surprised by this the glare seeming to lessen a bit.
"How did you arrived here?" He asked.
"We used a spell seal that was locked onto this reality thanks to Perseus's help. Me and Orion were able to power it by draining the wards of the school we were being kept at because we didn't have quite enough power for it on our own. We were going to wait until the end of January to come here originally, but the arrival in that world of the Titan that kidnapped us forced us to improvise." She said Zeus nodded looking over at Poseidon.
"Your son knew?" He asked tartly Poseidon sighed.
"I only just learned he is a Seer, he could no more have told you then Apollo could have if he knew." He answered, Zeus narrowed his eyes looking irritated at this but relented on the subject he knew his brother was correct.
"I would assume this spell of yours could only transport one person." He asked Hermonie snorted.
"No, we spent several months making sure it'll take as many people as we wanted it too, its just a matter how how much power you have to use." She answered Zeus frowned at her.
"They why are you the only one that got here!" He snapped Hermonie sighed looking exasperated, and generally ignoring the fact that the person in front of her could vaporize her in an instant.
"We both would have gotten here just fine, but we got attacked by a Titan, plan A didn't really survive the situation." She said drily Poseidon smirked, Zeus glared at him.
"Which, one?" He asked flatly.
"He said his name was Krios." She answered immediately. "We made a run for it when he arrived and headed for the forest I almost had the spell finished when he found us. Orion tried to stall so I could finish, but by the time it was done he was to far away, he couldn't get to the seal without Krios being able to kill us both before we could get anywhere. I didn't realize he was serious about staying behind until it was to late for me to do anything. Had I stopped the spell we wouldn't have had enough power for a second try and Krios would have killed us, so I went to get help and come back." She said Zeus was staring at her intently at this point looking pissed.
"So you do not know if Orion is even still alive then?" He snarled Hermonie snorted.
"Hardly, he's fine. Iv talked to him several times since I left. We were both trained as sorcerers, but I can only assume Krios didn't know that me and Orion could use magic like we could. After the spell had taken me here, he blasted Krios with a Solaris spell. Its area effect so he couldn't really block it effectively with no warning, and Orion made a run for the Deeper part of the Dark Forest while he was distracted. The magic of the forest there is very old and powerful, it doesn't answer to him, so once Orion was out of his immediate area he couldn't track him anymore." She answered grinning by the end of he little speech. There was a protracted silence at this Zeus looked relived and was trying not to show it, but he didn't quite succeed.
"Good," He said with a slight smile Poseidon eyed him like he was a bomb about to go off at that. Zeus smiling must not be a good thing under normal circumstances she though amused. "Now, you say you are still in contact with him? How?" He asked she blinked hesitating for a moment before answering.
"Due to what me and Orion have been through, our magic is connected." She said slowly looking between her father and Zeus. "It lets us talk to each other even when we're in different worlds. Its a bit difficult since the connection only allows for images and emotions but iv gotten pretty damn good at charades so its easy enough to understand each other." She said with a lopsided grin. The two gods exchanged unreadable looks at this before Poseidon spoke.
"You could speak to him now if you wished to?" He asked she nodded.
"Sure want me to check on him before we continue? It'll only take me a minute or so." She answered Zeus nodded, Hermonies expression became unfocused as she concentrated on her connection to Orion. Almost a full minute had past with her staring at a point in the air somewhere to Zeus's left before she snapped back to reality. "He's all right, and glade I made it here in one piece, He's back wandering around the dark forest. And if I understood correctly Krios is still around somewhere over there, and the Egyptian gods are trying to track him down, but he keeps getting away." She tilted her head to the side frowning again. "And apparently he is trying to catch an acromantula so he can let it loose in Dumbledores office," She shook her head smiling at that. "He's been spending too much time with the Marauders." Zeus looked amused at this.
"What is an acromantula, and why exactly would he want to realize one in this Dumbledores office?" He asked she blinked and hesitated at this considering him before answering.
"Its essentially a giant spider, they average between compact car and dump truck size, smart to, well for a bug anyway. As for dumbeldore." She hesitated again wincing. "Well, he's the one who helped make sure we stayed where Krios wanted us it was his idea to leave Orion with the durslys." She said a look of utter hate entering her eyes. "He's the headmaster of the school of magic me and Orion were going to, he was setting up Orion to have to kill a local dark Sorcerer, and hopefully get killed himself in the process. It was only because of one mistake he made that we were able to escape. Had I not found out what was going on because of that the gods of that world would have never found us." She said tiredly her expression dark. She could sense Zeus looking at her memories now and not liking what her found about the headmaster and what he had done. Outside the sky darkened wiping up into a massive thunder storm.
"He will pay for that no mortal gets away with what he did." He growled Hermonie looked at him for a moment with a raised eye brow.
"Right, we were just going to kill him and be done with it but whatever." She said shrugging Poseidon sighed looking over at the still fuming Zeus before going back to his daughter.
"How dose being linked to Orion effect your own power?" He asked changing the subject, she shrugged and with a flick of her wrist called lightning to her hand. The crackling ball of energy brought looks of surprise on both gods faces, Zeus focusing back on her with another frown.
"Thats about all I can do really." She said grinning at their surprise and shifted the ball of energy to her other hand before tossing it up in the air a few feet and catching it. "The most I can really do is knock people out." She added letting the lightning dissipate, Zeus considered her with a thoughtful look before speaking.
"We will discuss this more another time." He said forestalling any more questions from Poseidon who shot him an annoyed look. "If you had the necessary power for the spell would you be able to safely retrieve Orion?" He asked her, Hermonie nodded without hesitation.
"Certainly, I would need to head back to Britain for the spell though, the seal was burned into the rock there it'll be more stable having been used once already." She agreed. He nodded looking thoughtful before considering her for a moment.
"Return to Camp and consult the Oracle for a prophecy. We will see what comes of that and plan accordingly." With that he stood and left the room Hermonie watched him go for a moment before looking back at her father who had stood as well. Returning to mortal size when he reached her.
"That went well I think." She said he quirked an eye brow up looking at her thoughtfully.
"Indeed it did, I don't think he's ever been that nice to any of my children before, he didn't threaten to kill you once, quite surprising if you could sense how truly angry he was" He said smirking Hermonie just threw him a grin.
"Oh i know how angry he was, Orions the same way, the less angry he seems when he should be beyond pissed the more consider you should be." She agreed grinning He just rolled his eyes.
"Quite, now close your eyes its time for you to return to camp." He said she obliged and a flare of brilliant gold light later and they were standing back by the big house. Percy waved at them from where he was perched on the railing that ran around the porch. He must have know to be over there waiting for them to return.
"Nice to see your unbarbecued Hermonie!" He called putting down the book he had been reading. "I was really beginning to like the idea of a sister!" She just rolled her eyes at him. "So whats the story then?" He asked as they walked over.
"Hermonie is to ask the Oracle for a prophecy we will decide what will be done after that." Poseidon said Percy nodded.
"Are you sticking around?" He asked.
"For the moment yes, I will see what the prophecy, if any, is and head back to Olympus." He said Percy sighed nodding as Chiron trotted up looking surprised.
"Lord Poseidon!" He said pausing at the steps looking between the three of them. "To what do we owe the honer?" He asked uncertainly.
"Hermonie is to ask the Oracle for a prophecy, she will be going to rescues Orion." Chiron nodded looking over at Hermonie.
"In that case if you could follow me Hermonie?" He said heading into the house. Hermonie looked at Poseidon who nodded to her so she followed, Percy remaining by the entrance. There was a few moments of silence Percy stared at the door Hermonie had gone through ignoring his father who's eyes he could feel on him.
"Percy." He stated calmly Percy tore his attention away from the door and looked sideways at Poseidon.
"Yes?" He asked levelly Poseidon sighed it was obvious Percy did not want to have this conversation right now.
"What is the extent of your ability to see the future?" He asked Percy shot a look his way frowning.
"I don't really see the future a lot to tell you the truth, occasionally sure, but what I usually see is other places or the past. There was one week a couple of months ago where I got a weeks worth of highlights of the Trojan War. Interesting from a tactical standpoint I did learn a lot from it, but I could have gone without front row seats to that." He said matter of factly Poseidon winced at that. Children Percys age should not have to deal with war like that.
"And other places you say?" He asked moving on Percy grinned at that.
"Its exactly what it sounds like I see other places and as far as I can tell, almost no one can see me when Im doing it not even you and the other gods. Iv seen your palace a lot as well as Olympus and a few other places." He said smirking Poseidon starred at him for a moment frowning.
"You said most could not see you, who could?" He asked Percy shifted on the railing looking uncomfortable as though only now realizing he had let that slip, and refusing to meet his eyes. "Percy." He said again. "Who could see you." Percy sighed and looked up at him his head tilted to the side thoughtfully.
"The only place I see with any frequency other then your palace and Olympus is Hades...specifically I usually end up near Tarterus." He said matter of factly. And shot a look at his father wincing at the stony looking he was spotting.
"Percy, who exactly is able to see you?" He asked flatly once more Percy smiled humorlessly.
"You really need to ask?" He asked Poseidon sighed closing his eyes for a moment.
"Kronos?" He asked Percy looked at him and nodded. "Damn it Percy why didn't you say something!"(1) He snapped making Percy flinch at his tone and look at him a bit wide eyed. Poseidon had never yelled at him before, for anything. Poseidon sighed controlling his anger he wasn't mad at Percy.
"Um did I miss something?" Asked Hermonie they both looked over sharply to see Hermonie standing there looking between them with a raised eye brow. Poseidon looked at Percy intently for a moment before he spoke.
"We'll finish discussing this later Percy, inform me if it happens again." He said his tone brooked no argument, Percy nodded and looked at Hermonie.
"So what the verdict then?" He asked changing the subject she gave him a silent look that quite clearly said she would be interrogating him later.
"Well, we've got a prophecy." She said with a grin. "And its almost upbeat! No hints about anybody dieing, well nobody we like anyways!" Percy smiled at that.
"Well lets hear it then." He asked Hermonie nodded sharply before repeating the prophecy she had been given.
3 Children of the sea will cross the void
Seeking what was stolen from the sky.
A prince, A Seer, A Seeker of knowledge.
A battle fought at an ancient sanctuary,
The children of the sea and sky against the darkness
A power sought by the lost will be found
And a Titan shall fall at the claws of a dragon
A battle may be won
But the War has just begun.
She finished looking at them expectantly frowning. "Aside from the ending being a bit ominous it doesn't sound to bad for us, and several parts of it make sense right off the bat me and Percy will be going, but who would the prince be? Im a little behind on my Greek mythology I really only hit the highlights when I was researching before coming here." She looked at them both expectantly.
"Well, the only prince I know of would be Triton, but he's a god he can't come on a quest." Said Percy, but Poseidon just shook his head.
"Given the situation he would be able to, plus you said your spell requires a great deal of power. More then you and Orion had, you'll need him to get there and back." He said looking distant, Hermonie and Percy exchanged surprised looks at this. "He's agreed to come." He added a moment later.
"Oh, um, really?" Asked Percy startled Poseidon nodded.
"I leave you two to puzzle out the rest of it if you can, Triton will meet you in the bay at dawn tomorrow and you'll leave for Britain." He said they nodded agreeing. "Now Ill be going try to come back in once piece you two I don't want to loose either of you." He said smiling and after they had closed their eyes he vanished.
