Previous ChapterNext ChapterLeo POV
As Leo steered the Argo II for a landing, he noticed all the cartoonish horses all looking at the ship with wonder and he smiled at the fact and he did think that his ship was pretty impressive after all.
Some of the cartoonish horse all murmured and whispered and eventually, Leo finally landed the ship.
"Where are we?" asked Frank as he got on deck.
"I have no idea at all," replied Leo to him.
The others soon came on deck and were all surprised about their new surroundings. "What is this place?" asked Jason. "Time to find out," answered Leo and they all walked down the ship onto the ground while the horses continued to gaze in wonder at them. He looked around and noticed pretty much everything looked cartoonish and colorful.
Leo had see a lot of crazy stuff but this was something new for him and he had never seen those horses before but he recognized some of them as pegasuses and unicorns and they did look cute.
As Leo continued to walk, he suddenly saw Percy and Annabeth and they were standing beside a unicorn and some kind of lizard thingie.
"Percy?" he asked when he saw him. "Yeah it's me," he replied. "What are you doing here?" asked Leo with curiosity at him. "That's the same thing I was going to ask you," Percy said back at him.
Once Percy mentioned that, Leo immediately remembered the portal incident and said, "Some weird portal took us here, and I don't know what caused that portal," said Leo. "Allow me to explain," said the purple unicorn that was standing beside Percy. She cleared her throat and then said, "I performed a teleportation spell but it went wrong and all of you humans are here because of that."
"You're the reason why we're here?!" said Leo, very surprised at that.
"Yes," she said.
"Well this is surprising," said Frank Zhang when he looked around him, "A land full of horses that can talk,"
"We prefer to be called ponies," said the purple unicorn.
While they all stood there, Leo noticed four other horses that came by.
"Who are they? Twilight Sparkle?" asked the orange horse with a yellow mane that was wearing a straw hat. "Humans," answered the purple unicorn who Leo now knew as Twilight Sparkle.
The six other ponies looked at the six of them, including Coach Hedge that had gotten off the ship with curiosity. A yellow pony, who Leo assumed was a pegasus looked over at Coach Hedge very curiously and asked, "What kind of creature is he? I've never seen a creature like him before." "He is a satyr and my protector," answered Leo to her. "What is a satyr?" she asked. "A half-man half-goat," replied Leo.
"What is a man?" asked the yellow pegasus again. Leo sighed. Apparently, this land did not have the creatures that were on Earth.
"Newcomers!" said the pink pony excitedly, "This calls for a party!" she declared and ran off.
Leo found this a tiny bit strange and this pony seriously had ADHD to him. "What's up with her?" he asked Twilight Sparkle.
"She loves to throw parties," Twilight replied. "I believe she has ADHD," Leo said to her.
Twilight shot him a strange look. "What is ADHD?" she asked him. "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder," he answered to her. "Man, I wonder if I have to explain a lot of my world's stuff to all of them?" he wondered.
The moment was broken once the pink pony came back and said,"Party's ready!" excitedly.
All the ponies went once they heard the pony and Leo thought to himself, "What's so bad about a party?" and went and the others followed.
Annabeth POV
Annabeth felt that the moment she arrived in this world, there was something with this world.
Was it that all the inhabitants were talking horses? or was it that something evil was lurking around the place? Those thoughts constantly troubled her. But she put them aside and went with the others.
She looked around and even though everything seemed peaceful and joyful, that thought of something evil lurking still troubled her.
When they and the others finally followed the ponies to their destination, Annabeth simply gazed at it. She did not think that horses or ponies as they like to be called could really build structures. She wondered how it was even possible. At a glance, that house looked like it was made of candy.
As she and the other six demigods walked into the house, a lot of ponies were waiting for them in the room which was filled with them and they all cheered them. "Happy welcome party!" said the pink pony excitedly. "She really is erratic " thought Annabeth.
Meanwhile, the other demigods all looked around the place with awe and Frank said, "They made all that?" "Of course silly, all ponies can do that," said the pink pony.
All of the demigods mouths dropped open when she said that. "You're free to get food,"the pink pony said.
Shortly afterwards, the rest of the six ponies that they had seen walked to them.
"So what were you doing before I accidentally sent you here?" asked Twilight Sparkle. "Yeah, and what are your names?" asked the rainbow maned pegasus.
Annabeth said, "We are demigods, the children of gods and mortals and we were on a mission to stop Gaea by going to close the Doors of Death,"
"Gaea? I think I remember reading that name from a book somewhere," said Twilight Sparkle.
Frank then stepped forward and said, "I'm Frank Zhang," and then the others also introduced themselves.
The Rainbow-maned pegasus stepped up. "I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria!" she said proudly. "Name's Applejack," said the orange pony and Annabeth felt that her voice had a Southern accent. "I'm Rarity, the designer of the place's most fabulous dresses," said the white unicorn. "I'm Fluttershy," said the yellow pegasus shyly.
After the introductions, Twilight Sparkle said to them, "I must tell Princess Celestia about the newcomers!" but before she could do anything, as if on cue, the ground shook and several holes appeared and out crawled out five creatures.
To her, they looked like horses but they had sharp teeth and insectlike wings and greenish skin. "What are you?" she said at them. "Karpoi," said Hazel. "What?" "Grain spirits," she replied, "They work for Gaea and one time they kidnapped me." "They are hideous," said Rarity wit disgust. "I agree," said Percy.
Hazel stepped forward. "What are you doing here?"
The Karpoi said, "We are Equestria's grain spirits and similar to our brethren in the human world, we have sided with Gaea and she has commanded us to destroy you," "Not on my account," said Percy as he charged at them, with Riptide drawn and he reduced one of them to a pile of wheat by beheading one.
"Destroy our master's enemies!" one commanded and they rushed at the seven demigods and six ponies.
Frank drew his arrow and shot the leg of one of the Equestrian karpoi, causing its leg to dissolve into wheat while Rainbow Dash charged right into it, reducing the rest of its body into a pile of wheat.
Jason used his powers to summon a torrent of air and blasted one of the karpoi into a table and it was burnt to dust by Leo with a fire blast.
One of the karpoi jumped, teeth drawn at Piper but it was bucked aside by Applejack and Hazel cut it down with her spatha.
Annabeth and the rest turned to the last standing karpoi and it tried to summon some more only for Twilight to use her horn and an aura suddenly enveloped the karpoi and Frank ran it through with his spear, killing it.
When the whole fight was over, there were piles of wheat lying all around the Sugarcube Corner.
Twilight Sparkle was the first among the group to speak. "This Gaea that those creatures mentioned sounds like a threat and I should go ask my mentor Princess Celestia more about them." "Princess Celestia is the name of your ruler right?" asked Percy. "Of course," Twliight replied. "Well its kinda odd since back in our world, we usually have kings or queens or presidents ruling over," said Percy.
