The Wrath Of Jupiter
It started out, a normal day. I was going to the fields, like usual. My wife, Fabiana, wanted to say good bye. Unlike most Roman marriages, we truly loved each other. Every day I left for work she would be right there saying good bye. So far she hasn’t missed a single day. “I see you are already heading out”, she said. “Well I want to earn some extra money this BC”, I replied. “I know”, she said a little upset, “but I know that you 're just trying to help this family. The baby is on the way and you 're right on one thing, we need extra money.” I knew she’d understand. I sometimes thought that me and Fabiana were a little peculiar because of the things we did. We were the only ones that married for love

It was about half way through the day and we had already gotten half of the fields. I still had half the day to go but when I’d get home I’d get one of the best meals I’d ever have when I ever I’d get home. I started to notice that it was getting darker. I looked up and I saw that the sky was 1 spontaneously darker and filled with clouds. That’s when somebody yelled at the top of their lungs, “JUPITER IS ABOUT TO STRIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO HIT THE SPRING!!! EVERYBODY RUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!” That’s when chaos broke loose. Everybody was running to their homes, so they could get to cover, especially in the fields. But I wasn’t worried about getting to cover, I was worried about Fabiana. She was at the spring and if she didn’t get to cover, I don’t know what I’ll do. I was running to the spring as fast as I could. I started to think that if I lost her, I wouldn’t only lose her, I’d loose my new baby too. I wasn’t going to lose her. I wasn’t going to lose everything. I had ran for a while until I finally saw the spring. There she was, standing there. I yelled her name a couple of times until I caught her attention. She started running towards me and I ran to her. We were so far away from each other, but I just knew that we would make...BOOOOOOOM!!!!! The ground shook as I flew to the ground. I woke up
Day 1 - I was once again reminded of my mothers’ marriage to my uncle, Claudius. To this day I still feel disgusted and outraged that either of them would think it is morally okay to do such a thing. My father had only past away under a month before my mother had married my father’s brother. I think it’s terribly disrespectful and ignorant towards my father. He would have given the world and more. He loved her more then anything, and I don’t understand how she marry his brother in such short time, and not feel guilty or disgusted by herself. It just astonishes me.
I was a passenger in the backseat of our family vehicle. The small bumps in the pavement lulled me to a place of perfect repose. As we looked outside our windows we could see the sky painting a magnificent show for us. The sun was going down, but the heavens were brighter and more astounding than I had ever seen them before. It was as if someone had set the clouds alight with raging wildfires and splashes of pink and purple scattered about. I never wanted it to end, but the sky had other plans. The masterpiece before us began to recede into darkness as the nighttime engulfed the sun and put daytime to
I walked outside the next morning feeling great. The bright vibrant sun shone on the freshly mowed grass. I loaded into my sister's car and we went off to school. The day passed extremely rapid,
The sun had started going down and the blazing heat that accompanied July with it as the stars and crickets started slowly making appearances. The day was coming to an end and I was sleepier than ever due to the intense heat that seemed to drain every
Together we raised an outstanding child. I had also remained friends with Fortunato. We would dine together at each others’ homes and, of course, Léonie would also dine with us. I was truly happy, but all of those happy memories I had created with her and my son, were later destroyed. One evening I went over to Fortunato’s home for a share of drinks, for I had found a rare wine. A maid had welcome me in the mansion. While, I was strolling through the halls in search of him, I saw something I should have not seen. My wife in the arms of my most trusted friend. I froze where I stood… I overheard what was being spoken by the two in the other room. “When will I have time to spend with my son?” He asked. The amount of anger that filled me began to flood. I wanted Fortunato to suffer by my hands. I left his home as if I had not been there from the
So we had to walk to our friend anthony's and the sky was getting dark and we were
Morning brought the peace of a warm sunny day to the small town of Tributary; such a contrast to the violent events of the day before, still there was a sense of mourning in the air. The town folk spent much of the day recovering lost property. Everyone felt fortunate to have found their missing belongings. Everyone except Corvida Bratleigh! Rather than being thankful her playhouse was undamaged by the tornado, Corvida was angry that her playhouse was in Nikki Fernandez’s garden! The playhouse was hers, not Nikki’s and she was going to make sure that Nikki did not step one foot in her lovely little house.
Starting out, I was walking slowly down the freshly snow covered dirt lane in front of my cabin. As I was walking I could hear the crisp
everything, the sun came came like gold through the trees, and over the field, and I felt like I was in
It was starting to become dark, the light was lifting as the sun went down, and the sun streaks climbed up the wall and fell over the feeding racks and over
She was falling, too. I stretched out my arm, trying to catch her. I reached out, but all I caught was air. There was no ground beneath my feet, and I was clawing at mud. We touched fingertips and I saw green sparks in the darkness.
It was the last day of July, and as usual, it was pouring rain in the "sunny" state of Florida. The rain dropped quickly, splashing to the ground in loud plops. Julia lifted up her hood and continued her walk down the street, trying to get away from her old foster home as quick as possible. This was a tradition of hers you see. Every time she got tired of a foster home, or if they were just too abusive, she would leave at the end of the month. This had happened five times
Many of you may be offended by my appearance here today, but to that I will say, I was blinded by my intense love for Desdemona and that love is as strong now as it was the day I married her. We will all long remember Desdemona as a generous and devoted wife and friend. She had a childlike spirit that could shine light into the darkest day. As Desdemona’s husband I loved and wanted to show her how much she meant to me, and in that I failed. She was a very significant person to all of us here, along with so many
My dad and I had always lived in New York City. After 15 years of experience and the guidance of my older brother, you could say that I knew my way around town. The coffee shops with the best lattes, the highest swinging swing sets in every park, and most importantly, the buildings with the best views. You would think that after living here for so long I would get sick of seeing the view of the city every day, but it just never gets old. The best spot is at the top of my apartment building, on the far northeast corner, looking over the horizon and onto the Hudson. There was no other way of completing my day, no matter the rain, snow, or blazing heat I sat on that rooftop every night as the sun disappeared, along with the overworked New Yorkers for the night. The most interesting part is, every single night, the color of the sky is always slightly different. No sunset was ever the exact same. Anyways, as I was walking back down the stairs to my condo, 7B, I got the jitters in my stomach, I was beyond excited for tomorrow, the first day of Winter Break. My older brother, Todd, was taking me and my best friend Hannah up to Vermont to go skiing. I opened our apartment door, took a quick shower, and fell asleep with Cooper on my lap while watching Full House.
1) The main conflict in The Son of Neptune is that Camp Jupiter, The Roman Demigod Training Camp, will be attacked on the day of the Feast of Fortuna, which happens to be in less than five days, and three demigods must travel north to Alaska, the land beyond the gods, to recover the legion's eagle and to free Thantos so that Camp Jupiter can have a fighting chance in the upcoming battle.
