The Demigod Alien Hero

⭐|¦_The Dam Episode_¦|⭐

As we walked away from the junkyard, another line of prophecy made sense to me. One shall be lost in the land without rain. Bianca's death in the junkyard, it was practically a desert.

Walking for a while, I spotted the Hoover Dam. I mean, who lives in USA and doesn't know about The Hoover Dam?

We picked 2 boats to go up the river. Percy was controlling it, because I was still clueless about my hydro kinetic powers. Percy had promised me to teach me after this quest was over.

"So..." I started the conversation "What do you guys do normally?"

Percy snorted "Yeah, right. There is no 'normal' in the lives of demigods. There's never a chance for us to do, like hang out or something."

I immediately felt sorry for starting the conversation. Thalia responded next "Well, when you wake up from being a tree, and then going on a quest is anything but normal."

I sighed "I can totally see why you two are cousins. I mean, come on! You two just think of using sarcasm in everything."

Thalia just huffed. Percy chuckled "I can't live without sarcasm!"

Thalia asked "So, what is your world like, Ben?"

I smiled "Well, things are a bit same like here, instead aliens exist there instead of gods."

Percy asked "So how did you get that watch?" pointing at my omnitrix.

I sighed nostalgically "When I was 10, me, my cousin Gwen and my Grandpa Max, we went on a holiday. We thought the summer would be the most boring thing ever, especially with Gwen. We used to argue on every single thing." I chuckled. "On the first day of summer, we went camping outside a forest. I got bored of it and wandered into the forest. And I saw a huge asteroid, but it was going in a single line. But when it was crossing me, it turned towards. Naturally, I panicked and tried to run. Then the asteroid crashed in front of me, leaving me unharmed. I approached it and saw a watch. Wondering what it was doing there, I touched it and it stuck to me. No matter what I did, I couldn't get it off. That's where my adventure started. The most boring summer became the best summer ever."

I saw us arriving on the entrance "Alright, we're here."

I stepped off the boat and I sensed something was wrong. But I didn't care about it right now.

Zoe said "I am going to the dam restroom."

Percy laughed with Thalia. I caught on the meaning pretty quickly and chuckled.

Zoe looked confused "Was there something wrong?"

Percy answered "No, no. Nothing is wrong. I just need to use the dam fountain."

Thalia added "And I need to go to the dam snack bar."

I laughed loudly and said "And I need to buy a dam T-shirt!"

Everyone started laughing except Zoe, who was utterly confused. Percy stifled his laughter "Alright, that's enough. I need to go to the restroom too."

And Percy walked out to the lift.

After waiting for a few minutes, Thalia started getting restless. Then I heard the rattle again.
