The adventures of Kevin Hephaestus chapters 6-10

My clothes are on fire, litterally!



It felt like a second after I woke up, but it was actually 3 hours since I was found. When I found out that if it wasn't for belt, I would've died. I questioned how was I still alive and they replied that they gave me special medicine. Then I found out Dudley was the one who rescued me. I would thank Dudley, but I couldn't get up because my legs was paining badly. The power had gone out and there were candles in my room. I saw Peter hide under my cot until everybody left. Then, he got up and swapped a candle. He was going to burn me! WHAT KIND OF MANIAC WAS HE! HE WANTED TO GO TO THE FIELDS OF PUNISHMENT OR SOMETHING! He then put the fire on me. I closed my eyes. I would've shouted for help if he didn't tie me up and cover my mouth with duck tape. For some reason, I felt stronger. I opened my eyes and saw the fire melt into me. "Just as I expected," Peter said. He ran out of the cabin door. After that I dozed off and woke up just in time for campfire. This time, I checked for my dress. Everything looked ok. I thought about the fire melting into me was a dream but again, everything I think is a dream isn't. I ran out of the cabin and to the campfire. Everybody was already seated with their group.

I battle an old friend and drown for the millionth time.

I sat at an ordinary log chair and when I did, everybody stopped and starred at me. I don't mean a normal stare, I mean a stare that looked like you are so dead. Before I could question why everybody was staring at me, somebody picked me up and through me across the campfire all the way to the counselor house. I slammed into the wall one side and came out the other. Then I slammed into a boulder and fell to the ground. I laid with pain, paralyzed with pain near the rock. This is just like a bully punch except this was ten times worse. I think around 10:00 p.m. my group came to get me. Even Peter. Nobody was able to find me until Peter put the fire

on the ground. Nothing happened. Then he went closer to me but didn't see me. He set more fire on the ground. The fire was going in a straight line towards me. Then the fire went inside me and made me feel stronger. I never realized Peter was standing right next to me. "Are you hurt?" He asked politely. "No," I said as I stood up. He then told me that the thing that hit me was Arch. He was a Cyclops 10 feet tall. He was just like that Cyclops that I saw at the warehouse. He told me that he was the boss of us. I asked him about Prime. He said that he was the boss of us during the day, but during the night, He formed into Arch. That was because he had accidentally absorbed Arch when he was battling him. Arch is nocturnal so whenever night falls, Prime transforms.

He uses Prime's body for protection during the day. Arch can control Prime. I asked him how to defeat him. He replied that only a special Hephaestus kid could defeat him with the sacred items. All the Hephaestus kids tried to find the sacred items, but ended their lives trying to find the map. That suddenly hit me. I told him my story of how I ended up here. He looked so brightened up. He asked me if I have the map. I showed it to him. Then he told me that I should tell nobody of this. I accepted and then asked him why he tried to burn me up. He looked surprised. He asked me if I knew who my father was. I replied with a no. Then he told me something but didn't finish because something whacked him hard and he went soaring over in the air and crash landed somewhere deep in the ground . I looked at who whacked him and there, in the distance, was Arch. I looked so scared. I didn't know what to do. I backed up and fell into Peter's hole. I fell deep inside. I landed with a thud. I looked up and saw that Arch had jumped in also. He was diving near me. I did some quick thinking. I knew that fire made me stronger, so I called for fire in my mind. Then a blast of fire blasted through the hole. The fire beat Arch to me and went into my body. Then, I felt power going to my body. I then realized that I had fire all over my body. Then when the time came, my fist clashed with my fist. his was pushing mine but I called for more fire and when the fire reached me, I blasted my other fist into Arch's face and blasted him into the air he landed with a ideal force of power. I blasted fire out of my arms, aimed it down and went soaring in the sky. Arch saw me so he dove at me. I punched him again and he went soaring into the sky, maybe even into space. I then saw like a meteor heading for the camp. It was Prime and he was on fire. He must have gone into space and came soaring back down at full speed. I soar after him because if I didn't, there was no telling how much damage it can do at a speed like that. I caught after him and absorbed much fire as possible. When I couldn't take anymore fire, I put my hands on his back and pushed him up at the sky. Every time my power declined, I absorbed more power. Right when it looked like I was going to crash, I extinguished all of the flames and threw him in the lake. I then realized my mistake and soar at him. I knew water was my weakness, but I didn't care. I dived in. I tried my hardest to get control of my body and for once, it worked. I found Prime, grabbed him, and tossed him out of he water. Then I saw a splash. Somebody was swimming to me, but I knew it would be to late because I sank pretty deep in the ocean. But the somebody was still swimming towards we. Then I noticed something pushing me up. I looked back and saw air bubbles pushing me up. Then I saw Jimmy, a son of Poseidon. After that I blacked out. When I woke up, I was in dirt, literally. I started digging to the top. When I got out, I found myself in the forest. I then noticed a stone behind me. I looked at it closer and realized that it was a rip stone. I was actually buried alive. It even said my dates of when I was born and died.6/7/2000 to 7/25/2012. I heard commotion in the distance. I ran over there. I didn't know if I was supposed to be seen because every time I saw a camper, I dodged them by hiding behind the cabins and waiting for about two minutes until I knew that the coast was clear. After I made it to the commotion area, I found out it was a speech for my fake-death. Prime was saying how grateful I sacrificed my life for his and was going to tell my mom. I wanted to say I was not dead, but a part of me said that I should keep my mouth shut. After that, I ran back to the forest to find the camp exit. I found myself back at my rip stone. But I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back and saw Dudley. "I thought you were dead?" he asked. I replied that I survived. I then told him that we forgot all about the giant quest. I told him we needed to go and find the sacred items. He asked me if I had the map. I said yes. Then I told him to go back and get his stuff and we'll meet back here in 20 minutes. I ran back to my cabin and got my stuff. I saw Peter waiting with my stuff in front of my cabin. He asked if he could join the quest. I was first surprised to find out that he knew about the quest, but there was no time to talk. I accepted him and started to go back to the forest, but Peter grabbed my shirt and pulled me back. "You have to go to the mirror to see your prophecy first," he said. I first thought Peter was tricking me but his face expression told me he wasn't. I asked where was it and he told me that it was in the counselor house in the basement. I rushed to the basement without being seen while Peter got his stuff. My heart was beating faster every minute. When I got to the counselor house, I realized that there was tight security. I looked up at the window and saw there were lights on. I thought of a plan but I didn't know if it will work. I concentrated on the lights in the house. I concentrated that I was a light. Suddenly something felt hot on me. I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a light bulb. I saw Prime reading a book. I couldn't believe that it actually worked. I traveled to the basement. After I got there, I thought of me and I shot out of the light bulb. I saw a mirror. This might be the mirror Peter was talking about I thought. I walked up to it. Nothing happened. I only saw my reflection. I thought Peter tricked me. I couldn't believe it. I was about to leave when I saw words on the mirror. It read,"4 campers shall volunteer to help. 1 of them shall only kill by yelp. You shall follow the key to the things and go only by the wings. Beware of the creatures that guard the things. For only a Roman shall kill the guardian that stings. Bring the items to where you began your quest. For someone shall take the items who is not the best." At first I didn't understand anything, but after sometime, I realized that are group needed two more people. I really didn't feel like asking 2 more people to join our group, but I knew the perfect people to ask. I traveled back into the electricity into Prime's room. He was in the restroom. I popped out and stood in front of the bathroom door. I had a smile on my face. When Prime first opened the door, he slapped me and a jolt of electricity went into my body, but for some reason I felt nothing. Prime screamed at me for showing up at 10:00 in the night. Then I screamed at him for burring me alive. After that we forgave each other and I told him the news of joining me on this quest. He asked me who was going to be in charge and I said him pointing out the window. He looked out and saw a robot him I designed. I've been working on a robot Prime for his birthday. I sent it to him a little early but when the box got there, there was a hole in the back. Robot Prime escaped. I realized that the Prime that was speaking was Robot Prime. He accepted coming and I told him to meet me at my rip stone and jumped out of the window. I used my fire to land slowly on the ground. I ran back to my rip stone and saw Dudley and Peter waiting. They asked to see the map and surprisingly, there was a paper with my prophecy on it. I told them my prophecy since I told Prime already. They understood and suddenly, a lightning bolt struck right next to me, literally. I got so scared I screamed like a girl. Everybody was then staring at me. I apologized and looked at the hole next to me. Prime's head popped up with his bird's nest looking hair. "Good day mate," he said. "What the heck were you doing," Peter asked." Lightning travel. You go as lightning into the sky, think were you want to go, and come back down instantly to where you wanted to go." After that he fell asleep. I summoned fire and shot it at him. "He woke up instantly and yelled at me for about 15 minutes and would've yelled longer if I didn't ask him if he would rather save the world than yell at me. I then asked him a question," How are you a counselor if you are 12?" He replied," I was born to be a camp counselor because my father is Zeus, who is a leader." I then questioned him," How are you born to be a counselor?" He replied," How are you born to be a demigod?" After that, I asked Peter who my father was. Everybody stared at me and looked surprised. They said that I know who my father is and that I should think deeper. I thought and thought, but nothing came to me. Then something hit me(as in popped up in my mind). If I am able to control fire, I must be a son of Hestia. Then I remembered that Hestia isn't good at crafts, so it had to be Hephaestus. I said Hephaestus and they all nodded. I was about to go, when I remembered the prophecy. I needed 4 people with me. I only got three. I was about to go back when Jimmy popped up. "Can I come with you guys?" I looked stunned but I then remembered that wherever I went, for example, to the counselor's house, there was a shadow. I accepted Jimmy. Then everybody crowded next to me to see what the sacred items were. It said that the sacred items were pieces of a crown worn by lord Zeus. It said that the first item was at San Francisco, California. Then Prime said to make a circle holding hands and close your eyes. He said to not open them no matter what because the lightning powers would be to much for your eyes. We all closed them. Then I felt a jolt of electricity in my body. I opened my eyes and we were dropping from the sky. We were all in a circle holding hands. "I can't hold us any longer. We are going to crash in the ocean," Prime alerted. I knew I couldn't go in the ocean, so I thought of me landing softly on land. After that, I looked at my hand and saw that it was turning yellow, into lightning. I looked at everybody else and saw the same thing. We morphed into one big lightning and crashed on San Francisco's beach. It was late night so nobody was on the beach. I knew that we had to find the sacred item here somewhere. I started walking to the street light and walked on something. Everybody thought that it was a crab I walked on, but with some light, I saw it was a note from me. I read it aloud and here is what it said," Find the item with a beast, for it shall be East. Next to the ocean swaying, for the code should be blazing." Everybody started thinking which bird has a long beak. We then split up into two teams. Dudley, Jimmy, and I were team 1. The rest were team 2. We would meet each other by Prime sending a lightning bolt into the sky. After that we all headed East. Right when I walked, I stepped on a shell. It wasn't broken or anything. I put my ear into the shell, and heard the ocean. I then knew what the note meant. I told Jimmy and Dudley what I found and they rushed over. Prime and Peter went on ahead. When Dudley and Jimmy got here, they fell right through a hole. I found out that it lead to a cavern. I shot fire in the sky to alert Prime. Nobody appeared. I looked through the hole and shouted to see if Dudley and Jimmy were ok. I heard screams and cries for help. I knew that I couldn't just leave Dudley and Jimmy, so I jumped in the hole. The hole was 30 feet deep, so I landed with a thud on the floor. There were so many lanterns in the cavern, so I just absorbed some power to regain my strength. I then proceeded further in the cavern after I equipped my sword and shield. I tripped on some bones and fell face to face with a skull. I screamed and ran further in the cavern. There were two ways to go. I chose to go right because you will get it right if you go right, right? Anyway, right when I stepped the right way, somebody grabbed me by my shirt and hauled me back. I saw that it was Dudley. "We have got to get out of here," he whispered. "Where the heck is Jimmy?" I said. "He is suffering from poison and lying next to the sacred item with a weird psycho monster guarding him." I told Dudley to tell me what happened and he said," As soon as we hit ground, we ran forward because we saw the psycho monster with the head of a man, the body of a lion, the tail of a scorpion and wings of a bat. After we went right, we saw the sacred item. As soon as we touched it, the psycho monster was back. It was in front of me but went after Jimmy instead. After it stung Jimmy, it came to me, I ran back but came to a dead end. I punched the ground till I found myself in the middle of a cavern. I was lost, but I heard a scream and followed it. I saw you go into the right side and that is how we met." I knew the beast he was talking about. It was a manticore. I told him that we can't just leave Jimmy. After that we both went into the right chamber, with Dudley freaking out behind me. There was a dead end just like Dudley said. I summoned all the fire to melt the rocks. After that, it was like Atlantis and the key was the item. I saw Jimmy lying in the middle. I ran to him and stopped immediately when I saw the manticore staring at me. Dudley was not freaked out because he was scared, he freaked out because it was ugly. He charged at me and I rolled over just in time. Dudley punched the manticore and it moved back a centimeter. It then stung Dudley and he laid there in pain. I knew I was so dead because the manticore charged at me next. I tried stabbing it but thing was made of steel. I swung my shield over just in time to block its tail strike. It then flew in the air and charged at me at full speed. I put my shield in front of me but it was no use because it whammed into it and sent me flying back and crashing on a pile of rocks. It then stung me. I felt the poison going into my blood to my heart. I then remembered the prophecy. For only a roman shall kill the guardian that stings. I need a roman, but who. I then started thinking, Dudley said that the manticore was right in front of him but didn't care about him and went after Jimmy. Did the manticore go after him because he was roman? I looked at the manticore. It was flying next to the item. I looked at Jimmy and Dudley who were suffering. I summoned fire to regain my strength. I got up and dug for a water bottle in my backpack. I opened it and threw the bottle at Jimmy. He absorbed it and stood up. The manticore looked like it was ready for another win, but Jimmy got up and threw water at his face. The water got bigger and bigger till it was suffocating it. Then he pulled out a sword from some water in the water bottle and cut the manticore in half. The manticore sank in the ground. I ran over to him and questioned if he was roman. He said that he was from the Roman camp in New jersey. He told me to tell nobody about this. I accepted and rushed over to Dudley. He was suffering. I got fire and put it on him. It came of after sometime. He was better. We took the sacred item and scrammed out.
