The Masked Legend (PJO Fanfic)

Different Events

Sal went over to the river. It was time to take his plan into action. And he knew who to find to talk about his plans.

He took out a drachma and asked to meet Annabeth.

" Salomao what do you need?" Annabeth asked soon as she noticed him. She still calls him Salomao since it better to call him that.

She respects his decisions. If one day he wishes to be called Percy once more, Annabeth would happily do that.     

  " I need to talk to you about something. Something important."  He said before talking to her about his plan for a strike back. Annabeth's eyes widen at hearing his idea.

" No Sal I can't do that. This is-." She begins.

" Please, Annabeth this must be done. We can't always try to defend. We must attack also. This kind of things may be dangerous but it got to be done." He pleaded. Annabeth shook her head firmly.

" No! Your ideas always get you to a near-death experience. Like exploding St. Helen, jumping into River Styx, or other things you did. But this time Sal, I'm sure that you'll not going to live. Maybe we could find another way?" She said.

" Annabeth look you'll not making sense here. I could mist travel so as long as I do that quickly then I won't turn into bits." Sal tried to convince her.

" No. Even if you could, I still don't want you to do that. Mrs. Jackson won't want that. Thalia, Artemis, Phoebe, and the others won't want this to happen to you. We owe you but owing you doesn't mean to send you to your death!" Annabeth said. Her hands shaking slightly. Her skin growing pale slightly.

  " Annabeth look I won't die. You said you owe me. So please do it as a chance to repay me back. Do you want me to be happy?" He asked looking seriously. Annabeth just nodded.

" Do you want others to be happy as well?" He asked which Annabeth nodded again.

" Then help me do this. If you can't help me then no one can. I trust you to help me with this." Sal said with determination. Annabeth hesitated a little.

In order for the enemies to back off a little, She has to sacrifice Sal. Was that worth it? She then sighed.

" Fine But promise me, Sal, you'll at least try to live and survive." She said softly. If she couldn't convince him to give up, then at least a slight reassurance that he tried his hardest to live.

" I'll talk to Hephaestus about the thing you need." She said before waving goodbye. Sal nodded and walked away as the mist disappeared.

Sal thinks the next time he'll see her is on the battlefield. He had already figured the whole thing out. It took him a lot of time to figure out where their hiding at but he did manage.

He didn't know how to respond to the promise. There was only a slim chance that he'll live but he'll try.

He looked up at the sky and closed his eye silently enjoying the sound of the wind. The sound of footsteps interrupted his silence.

" What are you doing here Sal? You still need to do the chores. Just because we like you now doesn't mean we are letting you off with the chores." Phoebe said. Her eyes twinkle with happiness as she sees Sal.

" Relaxing and enjoying life." He said as he stretches his arms. Phoebe just chuckled before grabbing his arm and dragging him.

" C'mon enjoying life isn't like this. We got to have some real fun!" She said slightly excited.

" Real fun?" Sal asked his eye sparkled with curiosity, mischievousness, and interest.

" We're going to prank the hunters! Let us see who shall be first." Phoebe said with a slight smile on her face. Sal smiled as well, he'll first have some fun before preparing for strike back.

However, he didn't notice the slightly pained look on Phoebe's face. He didn't realize that something was bothering her. Maybe she overheard the conversation or the truth about his identity.

Phoebe led him into her tent. She started to get some stuff such as plastic spiders, bucket, radio, and other weird stuff.

She led Sal to a tent for some daughters of Morpheus.

" Now you'll be going to put that radio right between them and open it. Then mist travel out 'kay?" She said.

" Okie." Sal agreed before mist traveling in and putting the radio on and then mist travel away. It was a really old radio that had cassette tapes recorded by Phoebe.

So as soon as it was opened, Michael Jackson music came up loudly inside. They could some shuffling and a loud smash as the poor radio breaks.

The two hunters looked at each other and giggled before going away.

" Next up some Athena campers!" She announced holding some plastic spiders. The Athena daughters were sitting down next to each other sharing favorite books.

" Bunch of bookworms," Sal muttered. Phoebe grinned and just threw a spider at them. Screams filled the air and one of the older one Sophie started to yell, " Phoebe!"

Phoebe paled slightly and immediately ran away along with Sal. But they weren't done yet.

Phoebe was giggling madly now. While her wingman was just looking at her amused.

Phoebe just ran to where Thalia was training bunch of kids and showing off her own lightning skills.

Phoebe then used her bucket of water sho got from the river and poured it on Thalia.

The young hunters giggled as they saw Thalia and her choppy hair dropping water.

" Phoebe I hate you so much!" She yelled angrily as she stormed after Phoebe.

" Oh c'mon it just a prank!" Phoebe said while running to Sal.

" You seriously asking for protection now?" Sal asked. Suddenly, an explosion of air came out of Artemis's tent.

" Phoebe!" An angry Artemis yelled.

" Why does everyone know it's you?" Sal asked Phoebe. Phoebe only responded back with a mischievous smile and wink.

"So you're on this too huh Sal?" The hunters muttered. Sal turned away from them. He could feel the cold dead stares. He shivered and then chickened out. Bunch of hunters chasing after you trying to kill you is not a good thing.
A Hunter always catches his or her prey.

" Phoebe did all the things. I'm only the wingman." He said before mist traveling. The last thing he heard was Phoebe yelling at him.

" You betrayer!" Phoebe yelled. Sal just wiped off a cold sweat of his. He then mist travel off to the Olympus's library. He needed to find something out.

He went through books related to mythology. Sal's eyes widen at a name.

" I need to talk to Leto about this," Sal muttered.

" So the great Salomao Hunter can read Huh?" Athena said walking into his thinking.

" Lady Athena." He greeted.

" What are you doing here?" She asked. Sal gave her the book.

" I think I know who that silver eye woman is on End's side," Sal said seriously. Athena looked at the page Sal had been looking at.

Achelois.

Athena raised an eyebrow. She knows there is a goddess with this name but she couldn't remember this goddess.

" This is just a guess yet. But once I talk to Leto, everything will be confirmed." Sal said. Athena nodded slightly.

" Alright, now that's out. Mind if I ask what's your plan for striking back." Athena said as Sal was flipping through the book trying to find a clue of who is that Chastin girl. He froze after hearing that Athena knew the plan.

" I guess Annabeth told you Huh?" Sal said.

" Yes she did Salomao Hunter or should I say, Perseus Jackson," Athena said.

End
