Chapter 10: A god wants to beat me up...
Mika lay on her bed in Olympus. Boy, was she tired... but she had promised cal shed do something. So she got out of her bed and went to the door. She grabbed a torch and opened the door softly. No one was out. Her footsteps echoed through the hallway. She came to the big set of double doors artemis had shown her earlier.
"'this is the library... where you can learn about anything and everything."'
Mika swung open the doors. Thousands of books, scrolls, tablets, you name it, were everywhere. Cubbies and shelves were filled to the brim with writing. Here and there, there were tables for research. Mika had no clue where to start. She looked at the directory. It was in Greek. Mika rolled her eyes and started looking for another English directory. She looked back at the Greek. The lines shimmered and she could read it. cool she thought. dead heroes... nope... architecture... nope... heras cookbooks?... definately no... poseidon's palace plans... that what i need. she found the shelf number and went over to it. There were atleast a hundred books. was it in the north wing? or the south wing? i think it was the south. she too the first book with the south wing on the cover. She pulled up chair to the table and looked at the index. She found a map and traced the corridors down to the stairs. Hero accomodations? i wouldnt call it that... she shrugged and looked it up in the index. page 2765 she flipped the pages. where the chapter was supposed to be was a a torn margin. some one had taken it out. Mika was a bout to scream in frustration. She slammed the book hard on the table. When she did, a scrap of paper fell out. Mika picked it up.
the hero accomodations will have locked cells and... the only way to get them out is by using the... key is in the bottom of the triton. It works for all cells...
The page had been cut off at several places. Great.. the ket is in the bottom of his stupid trident... She put the book back into place and left the library. She crept down the hallway to poseidon's room. she opened the door a crack. He was watching a fishing show on tv. She crept behind the couch he was sitting on and reached for the trident. She saw a tiny screw and started to unscrew it. The cap fell off into her hand and out followed a key. She screwed it back on and started going back to the door. She stuck the key in her pocket. It hit the her cell and made a muffled clink. Poseidon's head whipped around and saw Mika. Mika smiled and made a little wave.
"what are you doing here?"
"i... couldnt sleep... so i was going to come and make sure that i had the right instructions for the quest..."
Poseidon raised him eyebrow. "what do you have in your pocket?"
Mika gulped. "My phone..."
"and what else..."
"nothing..."
"show me now..."
Mika reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone. His eyes narrowed. And then she pulled out the key. His eyes grew stormy.
"what were you going to do with that?!"
Mika shrugged. "i was doing some research on the palace.. i had found a stairway and wanted to know where it went... so i looked it up... and i got curious... so i got the key..."
Poseidon glared at her. "so thats where you were.. my wife told me she had come in but you werent there... you saw them... didnt you."
Mika put on a puzzled face. "who?"
Poseidon rolled his eyes. "you saw them... i know when mortals are lying..."
Mika got mad. "im not just a mortal... im part god too..."
Poseidon smirked. "so you finally asked some one about yourself didnt you?"
Mika stood there awkwardly.
"so... back to the key... you probably stole this key hoping to get them out of there... cuz u felt sad for them... they probably gave you a sob story on how i was so mean... and how they had done virtually nothing to make me mad... thats not how the story goes... the reason they are in there is cuz they did something drastic..."
"but... cal... he..."
"oh so you admit to going in there?"
Mika slapped her hand across her mouth. Stupid adhd.
Poseidon smiled a dark smile. "ares was trying to steal my trident... he likes powerful weapons... so he got his son... cal... to try and steal it from me... he was a klutz and kept making mistake after mistake... so i got him... and threw him in there..."
Mika frowned. "and then you left him there to rot?"
Poseidon shook his head. "no... i have a scientist who runs experiments on demi-gods... more of a hobby of mine... a hobby no one free knows about... except for that scientist... and you."
Mika was starting to get mad. "and what are you gonna do about it? huh? its not like you can call of the quest!"
Poseidon laughed. Mika realized how much she hated this guy.
"i dont know... i guess it all depends on how you do on your quest... i think that we'll be going back to my palace sooner than expected."
Mika frowned. "you promised me a week."
"and you only wanted to come here because you wanted to figure out how to get the adorable guy out of prison... but then i go and ruin your plan... oopsie..."
Mika went up to him and stood her tallest. Then she slapped him hard across the face. Poseidon's eyes grew furious. He raised his trident and it started to glow with blue energy. Mika stood there, glaring at him. It was a staring contest. She stared into his dark blue eyes and saw things that no kid should ever have to see in their lives. But she still held on. She started to glow. The tingling feeling went all over her body. Her hair sparked with electricity. And the gold flecks in her eyes started to expand until her iris was completely gold. Poseidon's eyes began to simmer. Electricity began shooting from Mika's hands. The trident's blobe of blue energy was about the size of a basketball. The door slammed and in walked her dad. Poseidon looked up first and then Mika looked up. Zeus cleared his throat.
"a nice and friendly argument huh?"
Poseidon's trident stopped glowing. The energy began dissolving back into it.
"yes... very friendly... this is a personal fight that does not need an audience."
Zeus rolled his eyes. "you expect me to believe that? when i come in here, your trident is about to explode and my daughter is about to destroy something... oh... adn shes glowing... never seen one of my kids do that... i guess there's always a first time..."
Mika started to slowly stop glowing. Her eyes faded back to a green. Zeus walked over to them.
"i no longer think your responsible for my daughter. Deals off."
Poseidon's eyes began simmering again. He pulled out his trident.
"really? that stinks... cuz i remember you swearing on the styx."
Zeus eyes flared. "oh well... thats too bad..." he grabbed his lightning bolt and it began to sizzle with electricty. Mika went to a corner. She hid her face in her hands. Thats when they started fighting. Continual bursts of light and sounds. Suddenly, a bolt accidently flew towards her. It hit her sound on the head and then she fell to the floor.

Chapter 11: My dad gives me a lightning bolt
Mika woke up, again... lying in a bed. why do i always have issues with staying out of pains way? mika thought. She tried to sit up, but groaned. She could barely move. She felt like some one had taken her insides out, fried them, then stuffed her like a turkey for thanksgiving.
"rule number three..."
Mika rolled her eyes and turned to face artemis.
"never... ever... slap a god..."
"i kinda learned that on my own... thank you very much..." Mika swung her feet off the bed and stood up. Shed had enough of lying around, waiting to get better. She grabbed her clothes and went to the shower.
"what are you doing..." asked artemis.
"what does it look like im doing... killing a chimera?"
Artemis rolled her eyes at mika's sarcasm. "speaking of chimera... your dad wanted me to give you this..."
Mika's face popped out from behind the curtain. She saw a dainty silver necklace in Artemis' hand. She sighed.
"thanks... but no thanks."
"he'll be mad..."
"necklaces arent my thing... and if hes gonna give me a present that will mean anything to me... hes gonna have to give it to me himself." she came out of the bathroom dressed and ready to go. She grabbed her sweatshirt and headed for the door.
"then go tell him that... and give him this back while your at it..." Artemis tossed to necklace to Mika. Mika caught it and put it in her pocket.
"oh and artemis? i was wondering... could we somehow make my sword smaller? like something i could carry around? cuz it getting really heavy... and sometimes just plain awkward..."
"sure... what were you thinking about..."
Mika blushed. "i was thinking about an ipod... i dont have one... and it could have an extra button that has a finger print code thing for me... so no one could take my sword... and i could listen to it too!"
Artemis smiled. "ok... ill talk to my bro about it."
Mika went up and hugged artemis. "thanks... for everything..."
Then she went out the door to find her dad. She wandered down the hallway and found the throne room again. She paused at the door and went in. Sure enough, her dad was standing at the large window overlooking new york. When he turned and saw mika, his eyes softened a little.
"well?"
Mika cautiously went up to him and handed him the necklace. Zeus turned it over in his hands.
"i... wanted to tell you... that... it wouldnt really be a gift from you... if you didnt give it to me... yourself..." Mika looked at the floor, some what embarrased. Zeus looked at the silver chain and undid the fasten. He walked behind her and put it around her neck. Mika fingered the charm lightly. It had metal bars that made designs on it. In the middle was a lightning bolt. Behind those metal bars was a swirl of colors. All different shades of blue. The colors that the sky could be.
"the lightning bolt can come out.. it has an unlimited supply of chimera poison in it... it also glows when it has electricity running through it... kinda like a light bulb... and it has another secret... which youll find out later..." he turned and faced Mika. Mika stared into his stormy eyes. some where... deep down inside... he loves me... He held out his arms and she walked into his embrace. They stood there for a moment until Zeus broke the hug. He used his finger to lift her chin so she would look him in the face.
"im sorry for giving you up... it was... not the bets decision. I.. should have done better for you... as king of the gods... i told my fellow gods and goddess not to bother their mortal children. Not play with their futures too much. They all look to me like that. I wont be able to talk to you as much as the other gods do with their children... i need to set an example... ok?"
Mika nodded. "but why did you and mom give me up?"
Zeus sighed. "i didnt want to give you up.. neither did your mother..."
Mika nodded. "could you... tell me who she was?"
Zeus shook his head. "who she is... but youll have to find her yourself."
Mika put her head down. She took a deep breath.
"i really need to go..."
Zeus nodded. "i understand..."
He gave her one final hug. Then Mika left him alone. She turned back to look at him, and he was staring at her. She waved and walked down to the sword arena.

Chapter 12: The Magic of the god of Music
Mika looked around and sat next to a fountain. She picked up the lightning charm. She looked it over and turned to the back. On the back, her name was engraved. Mika. She sighed and concentrated. She tried to find where ever the electricity came from. Her hand with the charm was soon sparking. She looked down and saw the bolt. It was like a diamond. The sparks jumped and moved through it, making it come alive. Pure white energy leaped from the necklace. Her hand stopped with the electricity. But the bolt kept glowing. So thats the secret... she thought. Then she smiled. Apparently her dad knew her too well. Or maybe she was just like him. i guess hes sometimes curious too.... She saw artemis walking towards her. She had Mika's sword with her.
"here yah are... my bro helped..."
Mika took the sword.
"press right there..."
Mika pressed the spot. It turned into an ipod touch.
"awesome... how do i get it back?"
"press that button on the menu... then tap in a code... one u made up..."
Mika pressed it and tapped in a code. It turned back into a sword.
"sweet!"
She turned it back into an ipod and put it in her pocket.
"you can download music on it too... and it wont ever break... you also cant lose it... itll always come back to you.."
"suh-weetness!"
Artemis smiled.
"glad you see it that way..."
Artemis looked around to see if any one was listening. She lowered her voice to a whisper.
"why the hay does Poseidon need you... hes told you more i suppose..."
Mika shrugged. "its no biggie..."
Artemis frowned.
Mika looked at her. "sides? why do you want to know?"
Artemis glared and stalked off.
Mika shrugged. oopsie...
Poseidon came up the path.
"are you ready to go back the the sea?"
Mika looked at him.
"you promised me a..."
"Week." he interupted. "but gods dont have to keep promises. Come on." he grabbed her hand and began dragging her to the elevator.
She scratched his hand. "no..."
Poseidon glared. "you are coming... now..." He said with his teeth gritted. He grabbed her hand again and they dissolved into a sea breeze.

Chapter 13: I Hitch Hike with a Merman
Mika found herself in her room again. Poseidon was no where to be found. She swung her feet off the side of the bed and walked to the door. As she touched the doorknob, it opened. His wife swam in.
"my husband told me told me to come and get you ready for the quest.''
Mika shrugged. "ive decided not to go..."
The mermaids eyes grew stormy. She grabbed Mika's arm and twisted it around her back. Mika gave a yelp of pain.
"this is just a sample of the things to come if you do not help us." she said in a menacing low whisper. "you saw those kids down there.. hm? worse... much worse... will happen to you... understand?"
Mika nodded. Her arm was killing her. The mermaid let go. She turned back to her cheery self. If the black and blue bruise hadnt already been appearing, she wouldve believed it had never happened.
"heres your clothes he wants you to wear." She opened the closet and pulled out some blue jeans and a blue sweatshirt, the color of the water. She handed them to Mika.
"better change quick sweetheart... he wants you to leave within the hour..." with that, she swam out the door. Mika sat on the bed again. She touched her arm and immediately gave a wince of pain. SHe looked at the clock. Then she changed and went to Poseidon's throne room. She carried her hurt arm in her other arm. Poseidon threw her a bag of ambrosia.
"take that... youll feel better..."
She took it, but it didnt help much.
"you know the plan... well drop you off there... ok?"
She nodded.
"any questions? any last words? alright... off you go..."
Another merman led Mika to a car looking thing. She got in and the merman began to drive. After they were almost there, he stopped.
"why are we stopping?"
"His majesty told me to leave you a mile from their camp... so you can go in unseen."
Mika frowned and hopped outta the car. She watched the guy drive off.
