Chapter 1
I woke up in the middle of a city.
I looked around noting all the people and buildings.
Everything felt weird, and out of place. Immediately I realized why.
I couldn’t remember anything. Nothing, that is, except my first name. Percy.
My basic brain functions through, still worked, so I knew enough to ask a passerby where I was.
“San Francisco, of course,” he said, giving me a weird look.
San Francisco. For some reason, I felt like San Francisco was a bad place to be, that I should leave.
But I pushed those thoughts away, and decided to take a walk, to see if my memories would return with time.
Almost immediately though, I ran into someone.
I looked up. The guy was huge, bigger than most of the guys in the NBA.
The dudes face split into a huge grin.
“Well well well,” he said. “Look what we have here. You wanna play little demigod?”
Before I could register what he said, he swung one of his huge arms at me.
Using reflexes' I didn’t remember (duh) I had, I dodged him.
“So you can play,” he said. “Good, good. I hate demigods that go down in one hit.”
Suddenly he began to grow, until he reached fifteen feet. A giant club appeared in his hand.
He swung his club at me, but I easily dodged, and when I came up, I had a pen in my hand.
On instinct I uncapped it, and a three foot long blade came out.
“Pretty sword boy, but will it be enough?” Was the response.
He came at me again, but I was more than ready.
I dodged his club, and went in, cutting across his chest. He collapsed, then vanished into gold dust.
“Impressive,” said a voice. “Guess we aren’t needed after all.”
