Pheara (Ara)

Stealing Zeus' lightning bolt was a sign that my mischief had begun. I knew that would issue a series of events like it did last time, whether or not it would come to the same conclusion was another thing. It was not some psychotic God who had been turned by Kronos harbouring the weapon; it was me. Therefore it would be next to impossible retrieving the lightning bolt; they would not know where to look, because they didn't even know that I existed.

Apollo, when he saw me, was obviously shaken, I saw his eyes widen, and felt mine widen too, this could be the end of my game, if he told everyone that he had seen me, well everyone would be suspicious, so using my compelling eyes, I tried to communicate with him asking him not to tell and that I would explain later.

"Then let's go to Olympus." Percy said and they all flashed into nothingness, leaving behind all of the campers and I.

"I hate it when they do that!" Thalia grumbled.

"And it's even worse now that Percy can do it!" Annabeth exclaimed whilst I examined them carefully, a nervous atmosphere had caused tension in the air, but they all tried to seem positive, if it were me who had lost something at least 15 people would be dead now.

"Right we must see what we can do to resolve the situation, perhaps a quest is in order, Chiron?" Nico asked the centaur, courage evident, I admired courage a lot.

"Yes, well we must wait for Percy to come back; perhaps the situation can be resolved on its own, but again we need to be prepared for the worst. Leah, perhaps you could assemble a team."

"I would be honoured Sir." My aunt chirpily responded, I frowned at her happiness, my plan to upheave them was not working!

"What's wrong Ara?" Thalia asked, and I quickly lessened my glare.

"Oh, I am confused; you just said that the lightning bolt, I mean the lightning bolt has been stolen, Zeus' master bolt and this is how you are acting?" I said, staring at them profoundly.

"Well panicking doesn't work, we must work to resolve the problem quickly," Thalia narrowed her eyes, "What would you do?"

"I-I think I will go to bed, I am really exhausted." I said, yawning deeply, Thalia sighed.

"Cabin 20, then." She said, pointing to a Cabin that looked usual in every way and I left without a word and proceeded into the cabin, quickly manifesting a suitcase full of clothes, they should have no need to get suspicious, I'll just say I hid it in the strawberry field. I looked down at what I was wearing, a black tee, bright red skinny jeans and black vans. It was certainly not my favourite outfit, not grandeur in any way, however it did have a sense of power and authority to it, and I liked that. My hair which I had willed to grow longer was tied in a messy bun, my make-up had been dulled to an almost natural look, I frowned, if anyone saw me like this from my region, they would think I was losing my touch.

Percy

I flashed to Olympus and was greeted by a herd of people all shouting and fighting, I put my fingers in my mouth and whistled, that got their attention, and they all turned to face me.

"Right, tell me what happened." I started and again everyone started yelling until I zipped all their mouths using my awesome powers, they all glared at me, until I unzipped Zeus' mouth and repeated my question.

"Well, I was sitting on my throne, minding my own business when all of a sudden; Bam my lightning bolts gone, stolen from my very hands! Hermes couldn't have done it!" Zeus declared and Hermes looked offended I nodded my head in thought.

"Well whoever it was, it appears they knew what they were doing, I do not think they have come from this planet."

"What? How would you know." Zeus asked.

"Well this person would have had to be very skilled, and I do not believe that anyone on this planet could do it, no it is someone from…..abroad."

"Well who might it be?" Hermes questioned.

"Malum." I said.

"Who is he?" asked Athena, turning towards me sharply.

"He is evil itself, he is the one who gave me this scar." I stated pointing at the mark on my face, when they saw the mark they all gasped.

"How did we not see your scar before?" Screamed Aphrodite.

"I put a cloaking on it, meaning I willed for no one to see it, only if I intend you to see it can it be revealed to you."

"Nice gift. Let's get back to the matter at hand though." Hermes said.

"You won't, if it's Malum, you won't be able to get it back."

"What will I do without my lightning bolt?" Zeus thundered, sounding vaguely like a child who had lost some toy.

"Get over it, it's just a lightning bolt, you almost had me killed last time cos you thought I had taken it, here," I said pulling out a replica lightning bolt, "This is a replica, same amount of power and everything, just don't have another tantrum, this is what Malum wants." Zeus took the lightning bolt, staring at it like it was from outer space, which it kinda was.

"Thank you Percy." My father said.

Aphrodite then shrieked, realising an important thing, "Oh Percy, Poseidon you had better get ready." I looked at her, confused.

Aphrodite rolled her eyes, "The wedding is in 5 hours! Percy go put on a tux, you have to look amazing for today!" I laughed then imagined myself in a simple black and white tux, immediately my outfit changed.

"This alright?" I asked.

"Perfect." Aphrodite replied.
