Throwing one hell of a party!

Soon, two weeks had already passed, and my preparations were done. The night was about to fall, and we were standing some distance away from the monster camp, and we slowly started checking our little toys, which would soon be used to party with em monsters. A party they would never be able to forget!

During the days we were preparing, more and more monsters arrived and joined in on the siege, and if before I was unsure if the number of monsters had reached the tens of thousands, such doubt was no more.

Thalia and Luke were both visibly nervous at the prospect of our plan failing, so I reached out and too Thalia's hand into mine to reassure her it would all work just fine. As for comforting Luge? Screw him, who cares?! If he have any problem, he should just step up to it and git gud nub!

Annabeth was also growing restless, fidgeting with the knife Luke had gifted her when they first met, and so I patted her head.

I looked at a huge pile of familiar iron balls to my side and smirked. Some fireworks to be appreciated later. There were thousands of them, each with a weight of around half a kilogram, I just know I spent a lot of time to perfect and charge each one of them.

At first, I never expected to be able to create so many of them, as they were quite draining to make, and my mana recovery just could not keep up with the consumption. Then, our little cute angel Annabeth had a brilliant idea: what if we used The Mist to charge the balls up? I tried creating a siphoning magic word using my blood and it worked! It was not perfect, as that could only charge the balls 80% of the way, it still meant a 5-fold reduction on my consumption!

But things did not stop there, Luke once said it would be amazing if we could use the Runes to enhance ourselves as well. And enhance ourselves we did! Using that very same word, or should I call them runes? Yeah, runes sounds way better.

So I tested it on myself and I managed to increase my mana recovery rate 10 times over! It was not without a cost, as there was a huge strain on my body. However, I actually felt VERY thankful for this strain, not only did it not bother me in the slightest, as my body was much, much better than that of other demigods, but I was also making use of it to improve my life force by tempering my strained body!

My improvement speed just increased 10 times over! Well, kinda, as my control remained the same, and there are no shortcuts to it, but this was already good enough.

Now, back to the present, I made use of several spells on the pile, making them lightweight, unable to hit an enemy, and making it so people would subconsciously ignore them, but the first two spells would only last for a couple dozen minutes, while the later could be active for hours on end.

The next several minutes of our time was spent throwing the inconspicuous iron balls all over the enemy camp from our position some distance away. Everybody was tense, as if this were to go wrong, we would not even know how we died, as we absolutely could not afford to fight all the monsters head on, but neither could we activate the bombs with some of them near us in case we were spotted, as that would mean being blasted into tiny bits.

Hearts pounding from the sheer amount of excitement we were feeling as we threw the bombs as far and wide as we possibly could, watching the huge pile disappear bit by bit. By the time when all of them were gone, and the stage was set, we could barely contain our joy as we were finally done, and we only had to do one more thing...

HAVE FUN! I want to at least make Hades pop a vein out of anger! That will make the bastard think twice before messing with us! Not gonna lie, it was a bit hard making Luke agree with this part, but as soon as I said it might anger some of the gods, he became really enthusiastic.

Damn, I really wish I could see his face. And so we went towards the highest and nearest earth mound near the place the monsters had gathered, and checking that no bombs had fallen nearby, we started setting up some huge speakers around, made some runes using Thalia's blood to power them up, as I picked up a microphone, we had already put on some earplugs so we would not go deaf, as it would be really unfortunate.

After connecting the microphone to the sound system we had just set up, I turned everything on, and, after enduring some really bad static from the system, as Luke fixed some issues up, we ended up attracting the attention of every single monster in the camp, who turned their confused eyes towards us, trying to make a sense of the situation at hand, as every monster gathered had at least some level of inteligence, they were stunned quiet by the strange way things were developing

"Ladies and Gentleman! Monsters of all degrees of uglyness! Tonight, I present you the first edition of the Monster Siege Fest! With the theme being 'Joy to be alive!', we will start with a salsa, and then will come the final event of the night, our world famous lightning fireworks display!"

The monsters were all stunned silly by the incomprehensible happening in front of them. Then, some classic music started playing and I went up to Thalia.

Still using the microphone, I asked - "Thalia Grace, daughter of god king Zeus, you look stunning tonight, would you grant me this first dance?" - Having announced what I wanted, I put the microphone away, and started going around the hill holding Thalia, leading her as we danced to annoy the hell out of Hades.

I gotta say I kinda enjoy dancing, but that is clearly not Thalia's forte. She stepped onto my feet an embarassingly high number of times, until I decided enough was enough, and I just had her step onto both my feet, as I started showing her how it is done. She seemed embarassed to have reached this point, as I would 100% tease her about this later, and she knew it.

By using a spell that messed up with the monster's focus, the music managed to last almost 3 minutes before they noticed something was wrong, and that they had to actually do something.

With a smirk on my lips, I muttered a single word.

"Release..."

That single word sparked untold mayhem onto the monster camp, as every single one of those bombs we had planted was activated at once. Lightning covered every single monster in sight, as they have not had the chance to even cry out, as they all turned to dust. The shockwave generated was so huge, that I had to spend every single little bit of mana I had left to protect the four of us from being wiped out, or winded away into oblivion.

Afterwards, I took a look at the aftermath of my plan, and, seeing a giant ring-shaped crater where the monsters had been. I smiled as the exhaustion from using up all of my mana caught up to me, and I passed out into Thalia's embrace.

Somewhere far away, in a huge castle in olympus, stood a beautiful young lady, who seemed to be somewhere in her mid teens, wearing a sky blue greek toga, covering her slender and well developed figure, with her bare feet touching the green grass on the ground, her silky brown hair, styled into a neat braid, laid over her shoulder. Laughing as she watched something happening in a pond, watching it as one would watch a play on a TV, she gave out the feeling of an energetic and fun girl to be around, as if her mere presence brought laughter to those around.

"So silly... hey, big sis Chore, take a look at this!" - The little lady called someone over to take a look, and before long, another girl seemingly in her mid teen years, appeared on her side.

With similar facial features, but with her shiny pitch black hair tied up in a bun, and sporting a light purple greek toga, and a better figure, exuding a sensual but at the same time easygoing air. She looked over the other girl's shoulder, and could not help but be surprised at what she was seeing.

"Pfff... That stupid uncle of ours should be just so annoyed. I wish I could see his face." - Laughed the newly arrived lady.

"Yeah, where did he get the idea to do such a thing? Is he not afraid of angering uncle? He can be really scary." - Commented the first girl, agreeing with the second, as both of them kept on watching intently. Curious to the funny boy's identity.
