OK, so a big sorry to people who have waited this long for chapter 2 (I’m sure there aren’t any) and here is chapter 2. Chapter 3 might be out in a month!

Percy Jackson
Why doesn’t Magnus talk about our journey from Valhalla to Camp Half-Blood? He said he needed to relieve himself and ran off to who-knows-where.
We jumped onto the enormous tree that Magnus says connects the whole world (or rather the nine worlds of his world……I don’t get it. I hope you do.) and tumbled through branches, twigs, leaves, and I even saw a squirrel once, until Magnus and I landed on a branch of the tree. It was probably at least seven feet in diameter and a child could use it as a bed. The rich brown color swirled around us. I stared at it in awe. Good thing Annabeth wasn’t there—if she were she would probably go off saying things like how the structure of the tree holds and doesn’t fall even with so much weight or how nature so odd—humans would never be able to create such a delicate thing. Anyways, after we jumped onto the branch, Magnus threw a rune down and it transformed into a doorway. Ta-da! Then we jumped into the empty doorway, and we appeared right inside the Metro. I was pretty sure we gave the other people on the Metro quite a fright.
We got off at the next stop, I whistled as loud as I could. TWEET! The Grey Sisters Taxi zoomed right in front of us. Good thing I brought a handful of Golden Drachmas. The sisters, again, shoved the eye around and it fell into Magnus’s pack of gummy bears. He screamed and I carefully picked it up and gave it back to the sisters, they popped the eye back just in time for them to stop the car from crashing into a pedestrian. The sisters swerved and turned, turned and swerved, stopped and went, went and stopped and we finally arrived at camp with Magnus yelling about the sisters ruining his bag of gummy bears and owing him five dollars, but the taxi had already disappeared into the busy traffic of Manhattan.
The mix of different ancient cultures and modern Manhatten is interesting, especially the way you’ve woven together these cultures by focusing on specific small details 😀
