After walking for awhile, we arrived in a very big room. In the room there were twelve chairs. The thing was, the chairs were giant. So big, I didn't know how anyone could fit in them.

Then I noticed someone was sitting in one of the chairs. I don't know how I didn't see him before, but I definitely saw him now. He was wearing a suit and he had black hair. His eyes looked like lightning. I was staring at him until Mr. Bright-smile elbowed me and whispered,

" You should probably bow," I didn't know why, but Mr. Bright-smile was older than me, so he was probably right. At the same time, however, my mommy just died, and I didn't feel like bowing. Mr. Lightning was glaring at me. He probably expected me to bow. The thing is, I don't bow to people I don't know, so I turned to Mr. Bright-smile and said, quite loudly,

" But why?"

Mr. Bright-smile cringed, but I also heard laughter. I turned around and I saw the man who saved me from the Bull-man. He stopped laughing and smiled down at me. He looked like he was proud. I had never seen him before he rescued me, yet somehow, he felt familiar. Then Mr. Lightning said, in a voice that sounded like thunder,

"Look brother, your ignorant mortal son, who you sired against our oath, refuses to bow to me! I should smite him right now!" I didn't really like Mr. Lightning. He was scary. His voice was scary. And what he said was scary. Why would he smite me? That's very rude. My mommy would not approve. At the thought of my mommy I burst into tear. I miss my mommy very much. I would never get to see her again. When I started crying, Mr. Lightning looked very uncomfortable and Mr. Ocean looked worried. Mr. Bright-smile had already left the room without me noticing. Mr. Ocean kneeled down next to me and patted my back gently, then he turned to Mr. Lightning and said,

" Look what you've done! You've made my son cry!" For the second time that hour, I found myself wanting to correct someone. These people did not understand! I was not Mr. Ocean's son, but being his son would be better than being Mr. Lightning's son. This time, however, I did not correct him, because if I did, Mr. Lightning might smite me. I do not want to be smite-ed. My thought were interrupted by Mr. Lightning's thunderous voice.

" That's another reason to smite him! First he doesn't bow, then he cries. He is weak! He deserves to die!" Mr. Ocean was about to say something when Mr. Lightning grabbed something that was next to him. He had grabbed a two-foot long cylinder, that was spiked on both ends. I could practically hear it humming with energy. He pulled his hand back like he was about to throw the cylinder, and suddenly I was surrounded by a bright light.

No. Percy did not die. I will not tell you what happened. This chapter is 520 words long. That's a bit longer than the other one, right?

How did you like it? I will try to update soon. Okay?
