A Hero Was Born: Chapter Eighteen

On Mt. Olymus, war cabins were erected. Demigods who had waited for their war missions to arrive waited at these cabins. Twice Posiedon tried to halt the building of anymore cabins, but was unseccessful. The camp director himself lived in Hut S-10, where the children of Ares were waiting. He had to stay at Mt. Olympus until the war was over. He wasn't even sure when the war would be over. Percy walked in, and at his side was Wake, who was so bewildered he wondered if he had made it to Camp Half-Blood. Until he saw the cmp director.

"Percy!", the camp director yelled, "Your orders were to get Wake to safety!" Percy merely nodded.

"The entre tunnel, blocked. Even if I could, I wasn't going to waste my energy to get him to camp. There's been more chos there then in the Tunnel. We still can't get Athena off our backs." The camp director looked fearful. He began to bow his head.

"The world's beinning to crumble. If we don't stop the war here, the gods will throw Earth into the conflict. Wake - your father is still missing. If we cannot find him before the war is over, then we are at the risk of destruction." Wake himself didn't like anything that was going on. All because of his father, Wake's mother had been dead. All because of his father, this terrible war that could destroy the world began. He began to feel the notion of wanting to banish his own father. . . before anything else this bad could happen. But no-one had considered the thought seriously. And still, Wake also had to save his mother from the clutches of the man in the hole. He sat down as he began to have a headache.

"Believe me," Percy said as he noticed Wake, "I've bee in the same situation too many times. But I've gotten used to it." That really didn't help Wake much, but he stopped worrying. He looked at the camp director, who was still sitting there, many thoughts in his head. Percy himself wasn't so sure anything would be solved. And yet there was a tinge of hope. . . . that Wake could be the key to say Olympus and the world. If he could jut get his father to notice. ..

"Camp guy," Wake told the camp director, "I'm ready to save the world."
