Kapitel 7: What are gods to start with?
Coming from the Latin god,deus, dei, is a heroic man or of indisputable superiority or an object that exerts great influence or great power. That's the first thing I think about when Will utters those compromising words. And who blames me? Qirion's classes really stick to the head.
The second thing that crosses my mind is;
- You are kidding. Is not?
All eyes are on Will, without another word he points to one of the monitors where a graph divided into two parts is shown.
The vertical line marked how much divine essence I had in me, it was divided by a thin line that marked it. The difference between human and god. The horizontal line was the duration of the test. A blue straight line (probably me) crossed the graph horizontally almost crossing the border of the gods' line.
- Not so bad, isn't that normal for a strong demigod? - It doesn't hurt to ask, right!
Will picks up a chalk from the floor and begins to draw a second horizontal line on the monitor.
- that ... It was Hercules at his peak as demigod ...
- My monitor! - interrupts Leo in horror
- It's just chalk. - Answer someone, I'm not paying much attention since I just realized that the Hercules line was almost in the middle of the human half of the graph. That is, almost a foot under mine ...
- This ... How did this happen? He asked, still staring at the screen.
- Actually, this was only supposed to happen if your mother was a demigod or daughter of one. How's your grandfather Percy's name? Will asks. No one had ever asked me that, not even Annabeth. Everyone looked at me waiting for the sentence.
- I ... I have no idea.
"Grandma?" Asks Nico.
- no ... that I know. - A very strange silence takes over the bunker, I'm a hopeless case.
Grover starts hitting his hooves unconsciously, breaking the silence and turning his attention away from me.
- Wait a minute ... there was something else ... if it were so easy to become a god the world would be exploding from them ... What was it? - Protests Grover talking to himself even without realizing that all eyes were now turned on him. Alabaster stands in the center of the circle and raises his hand like a student who wants to write the answer on the board.
- I know! I know how!
After realizing how stupid this is, he lowers his hand and continues.
- Ha ... well, for a god to be created he must first have a good amount of divine blood already in him and second he needs a cult or religion to believe in his power and give him the basic characteristics as meaning, related elements and sculpt your figure. The last step is to make an offering, when everything is complete and the offering is made together with a prayer will the god be officially ... born? Well, he will have crossed that line anyway. - Exclaims Alabaster pointing at the scratched monitor, now the line that refers to my results, which now looks terribly close to the line that marks a god.
- So we came to the conclusion that Percy's hand has been lying to him all over (again) and that he has a crazy cult out there that coincidentally chose Percy to be his god and is about to kill something for that? - Unique question in the same pessimistic tone as always.
"Actually, that wouldn't be difficult, not for your mother's part to lie to you," Will adds to make sure I don't take offense. I shrug and ask to continue, in fact, if my mother hides something from me, it is always for a good reason. Will continues. - But if we count the fact that times the fog broke while Percy fought ... it is not hard to believe if you say that some young and old began to worship Percy like a god ... in fact ... just the fact that being here and now believing in that possibility probably already increases the divine strength in Percy ...
- Could it be someone in the camp? Percy has some good fans here. - Stop Grover.
- But they know that he is not a god ... - Annabeth interrupts, sincerely This is getting more and more crazy!
- What if they intentionally want to turn Percy into one? - Complete Tayson who was quiet until now.
- People! How about we stop making crazy theories and start thinking about a solution !? I'm an older brother and a college student, there is no more space in my schedule to become god ok? - I may have screamed a little, but I would be crazy if they continued that way.
- but that's the easy part, isn't it? First we talk to Percy's mother to see if he really has the potential of a God and if he doesn't have an agent try to find another solution to the problem and if he really does well ... We find the service for the ceremony and everything ends well! - Léo speaks as if this weren't even a real problem.
- Sure- Complete Alabaster.- You just forgot that you have no other solution for Percy if he doesn't really have more divine essence than normal (which I'm sure he does because my divine energy meter works perfectly) and that you can't stop a cult just by hitting people (which we can't do) or erasing your memories since the cult exists as long as people believe Percy
Has superhuman powers (which he actually has) and it has been proven that beliefs and religion are not erasable.
- Well, then we have to find a way to convince them otherwise. - Annabeth replied in a tone so calm that for a second convinced everyone in the bunker.
- Wait, how exactly do you plan to pleasure this? I ask, already fearing the answer.
- Hey Léo still have the humanoid robot prototype? With a little magic I'm sure we can make him look like Percy god, so we'll just need the real Percy acting like Perseus Jackson, the dedicated boyfriend and older brother who goes to university like everyone his age. - Complete the smart girl as if it were the most logical thing in the world. Well, it didn't seem like a bad plan ...
- Not bad Annabeth, but I believe that you shouldn't be too hasty and start by asking Percy's mother about the truth. - A very familiar voice answers at the entrance to the bunker. When we all turned towards the voice we discovered that it was none other than Chirion, seeing the beautiful and strong centaur trapped in a wheelchair still made me feel a little guilty, but that didn't stop him from taking care of us.
- Since when is he here? - Question Alabaster confused, well, he gets used to it.
- But Chiron if we don't act in a hurry ...- Annabeth barely has time and to finish her complained is answered with an ironic;
- But Quirion! - Followed and one of Chirion's typical horse snorts - Girl, I know you very well, and I know you are capable, but you shouldn't do anything without Mrs. Jackson's consent or the certainty that all this is necessary.
-Hum ... It seems the arrow thing to do - Tyson says without thinking too much.
-Well, it seems that I arrived in good time, next time take care not to cause earthquakes of category greater than 4, humans will end up noticing. - And with that ironic phrase Quirion leaves the bunker once again.
We all agree with Quirion and Annabeth's crazy plan has to be put aside, we now have to pay a visit to my mortal family.
