Bab 92: Chapter 92
Percy looked at Luke's shoes from the corner of his eyes for the fifth time or so. Questions flew around in his head. Did Luke know they were cursed? Did someone curse them? Was someone targeting Luke? If so who? And why?
Percy could only come to two conclusions;
The person who cursed Luke's shoes hated Luke.
The person who cursed Luke's shoes wanted him dead
The person who cursed Luke's shoes did it before he left camp, because they never encountered anyone strong enough in magic to curse a godly artifact like these.
The only person who would want Luke hurt would be the Lightning thief, Luke was on the quest to find the lightning and expose the thief, so it made sense. That or a crazy ex-girlfriend or something.
Percy then spoke up, "hey Luke do you really think it's a good idea to wear those shoes?"
Luke looked up startled, "what do you mean Percy?"
"Well it's just that those things make you fly right? And the air is kind of Zeus's domain. I just don't want you to get zapped or something."
Luke shrugged, "yeah it's cool. I'm the son of Hermes, technically his grandson. He won't really have a problem with me using them. If anything my dad would probably be more pissed off."
Percy nodded, "okay then if you are sure." Percy then spoke about camp and other random topics but all the while his mind was wondering how he should get rid of those damned shoes. He needed them off of Luke before they entered Hades. Maybe he should throw acid on them or something.
Slowly it became late in the afternoon with the sun going down over the horizon. Luke and Grover had recovered from their hangover by drinking a lot of water and a lot of trips to the bathroom.
Grover eventually spoke up, "so when are we going to reach LA?"
"By mid-night or so," Percy replied.
"Good. Nothing can stop us now," Grover said with a victorious smirk.
Percy smacked his head, "you idiot!"
"W-what?" Grover asked sheepishly.
"You don't say shit like that Grover," Luke exclaimed.
"What? Why not?"
"Because you'll jinx it!" Percy yelled out as suddenly the train started to shake a little, "great, just great. I hope your happy Grover."
The Satyr threw his hands up, "I'm sorry!"
Suddenly a woman's scream was heard from the back of the train, "BEAR!" Percy sighed as he got up and walked to the back of the train with Luke and Grover following them.
"What do you think it is?" Grover asked as he took out the blade he got from the forge of Hephaestus.
"Probably not a bear," Luke replied as he took out his sword, "should be just a monster, probably the Mist made her seen a bear instead."
"So it's something big and scary, yes?" Percy asked as he took out Riptide.
"Yup."
"Good."
Percy and the rest quickly walked to the last compartment from which men and women ran from, "get out of here kids!" Cried out one of the men as he ran out of the room.
"We're good," Percy called out showing Riptide.
"I don't think a baseball bat is going to take care of that thing!" the man yelled.
"Relax, we'll be fine," Luke replied as he put a hand on the man's shoulder, "you should probably leave, we'll make sure somebody isn't trapped in there with the bear."
The man looked into Luke's eyes and then nodded dumbly, "okay," his voice was calmer than before, "I'll do that."
The man then walked away leaving them alone, "Jedi mind trick?" Percy asked.
"Jedi mind trick," Luke nodded.
The three managed to reach the last compartment and there standing between broken seats and fallen bags were three cyclopes. They were all dressed in golden armour and had spears on their side. Luckily they didn't notice Percy and co. so the group of questers quickly hide behind a row of seats.
"You idiot!" cried one of the cyclops. This one was the biggest of the three and was currently scolding the smallest, "if you didn't act so stupid we might have just managed to sneak up on them!"
"But boss we are huge," replied the smallest cyclops, "we can't sneak up on anything."
"I don't care! Lord Hades ordered us to take of these demigods and that's what we are going to do! Got it?!"
"Yes boss," the smallest on replied with a frown.
"I'll take the big one," Luke whispered with a sadistic grin.
"The middle on is mine," Percy said as he took out a water bottle.
"Do I have to fight the smallest one?" Grover asked nervous.
"Why? You want the bigger one?" Luke asked with a smile for which Grover quickly shook his head.
The cyclop's then took up their spears and began to walk to the other compartments. When they walked passed their hiding spot Percy jumped out and swiped Riptide across the middle one's back causing it to fell to his feet in pain.
"Bro!" called the smallest one and then suddenly vines started to creep around his legs and binding him in place.
"What the hell-" the largest one began only to have Luke jump on his back and stick his blade into the cyclops one eye blinding the monster.
