The Awakening: Chapter 3

Sebastian's P.O.V

Percy toured me around the camp with Thompson. It felt like your friend is technically your uncle because he's the son of Aphrodite. Meanwhile, Cora just stood there, watching over Josh, who was just waking up a few hours ago and is still too weak to move.

Annabeth offered to take me on a tour, and I agreed. She showed me all of the cabins in the camp half blood. Then she showed me the way to campfire, since it is time to go to campfire.

We sang along in the campfire. I liked the campfire. It's a bright orange flame that goes for about 25 feet. I noticed whenever they sing louder, the fire grew larger and taller. I always wanted to sing on campfires to see if they get bigger. It seems that my crybaby personality had been instantly vanished on hearing the whole camp singing.

I actually enjoyed the campfire. I saw Cora and Thompson together and I approached them. They saw me and welcome me with delight. So I joined them in the campfire sing along.

After the campfire, Chiron trotted up to the front stage and stomped his hooves. "Heroes! Fall in!"

All people went silent in just a moment. Then Chiron delivers his announcement about what's going to happen tomorrow.

After the campfire sing along, we went directly to bed, and Chiron told us that they will be reinforcing curfews, which means that no camper is allowed to be awake at night.

I stayed in Eros's cabin. Fortunately, there was no one in the cabin right now, so I'm all alone.

I can't sleep, so I decided to watch TV and read some books. After a few minutes of reading some books and watching TV, I fell asleep.

Dreams found me. I was standing in a mountain full of mist. It's swirling with a dense cloud covering it. Somehow, I knew that's the Titan's base. From my previous studies, it's called Mount Othyrs, the place where the titan Atlas had been condemned to hold the sky forever. But there was something strange going on. The sky isn't there, and Atlas had faded, so no one is actually holding the sky. I reckon that the sky could support its own weight now.

I was wrong.

The sky suddenly dropped outside of Mount Othyrs, and the sky just keep on falling on top of that person.

After a few minutes, I saw the sky return to its original place.

"Son," A voice said. "Do you know what this means?"

"Wh-who are you?" I yelled.

"I'm Eros, your father." Eros said. "By the way, do you know what this means?"

I shook my head.

"This means that you have the ability to see through the past and the future. The scene that you just saw was taken from the past and is going to happen again in the future." Eros told me.

"What? This had been done before?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes," Eros nodded grimly. "And I believe that I had caused a problem during that moment."

"What are you talking about, dad?"

Eros waved her hand and another scene appeared.

I was right in the middle of what's happening. There was a boy with golden hair and eyes holding the sky, his legs trembling while I looked up in the sky to see Eros with a golden bow and arrow ready to fire at a girl. He did shot the arrow, it hit her heart, but she didn't stagger. Instead, she went up to the boy and helped him get rid of the sky.

The scene changed back to where Eros was with me.

"Dad, will this be happening again?" I asked him with concern.

Eros' expression darkened and he nodded grimly. "It will be happening again tomorrow. The sky could support its own weight now, but it turns out it's being used by another person or a god or demigod to constantly dropping the weight in random places. So son, wake up from this dream and tell your friends."

I woke up with a start. I remembered what Eros said to me about the person who uses the sky as a killing machine.
