Chapter 39
Percy grinned and the two walked into the Athena cabin. Inside the beds were all pushed to side while most of the cabin space was filled with smart board and workstations. There were several computers all over the place and even screen showing 3-D projects like a new weapon or a war plan.
"Welcome Peter Johnson to the Athena cabin," Annabeth said gesturing to it all.
Percy chuckled at the name he gave Clarisse but who otherwise impressed with the cabin. Yup he was going to get some sweet Int and Wis points over here.
Percy was then introduced to Malcome, Annabeth's brother and most of the cabin mates. Malcolm then turned to Percy , "so Percy what do you want to know?"
Percy smiled, "everything."
Suddenly a cold wind blew through the cabin as suddenly the children of Athena got a scary look in their eyes. It looked demonic, it looked evil and it promised pain.
Ping!
Due to exposure to the Athena cabin's lust for knowledge perk a skill has leveled up by one!
Detect bloodlust, Lv-8 (21%)
This skill will detect any bloodlust directed at the user. It is an instinctive skill.
Will detect within 60 feet and will tell origin.
'Shit.'
An Hour later,
Annabeth turned to Percy as the sound of a conch being blown was heard. "Come on Percy it's time to go for dinner."
Hidden underneath a mountain of books Percy rose up like a zombie. His eyes were white and he had drool coming out of his mouth. "Must have knowledge."
Annabeth hit him up the head snapping him out of it, "come on Percy we shouldn't be late."
It was hell on Earth of Percy. The moment his Detect Bloodlust skill went off he knew he should have kept his mouth shut. The children of knowledge live up to that title by stuffing Percy with as much as they could. And you know the truly scary part? They were just getting started.
One the plus side he got a couple of Stat points and a leveled up skill;
Due to constant torture-studying, you have gained +3 Int

Percy closed the boxed in front of him and followed the rest of the cabin to the Mess Hall. Once there Percy was about to go and sit in the blue table, which was Poseidon's table, when he was called over by Chiron.
"Hey what's up Chiron?" Percy asked as he approached his teacher.
"Percy I just wanted to inform you that Grover has woken up," the centaur told Percy with a smile, "he wanted to talk to you. I suggest you talk to him after dinner."
Percy shook his head, "nah I'm not really that hungry right now I'll go see G-man right now and see what he needs. It could be important."
Chiron looked worried but then sighed, "very well Percy. After dinner all the campers gather around the hearth in the center of where all the cabins are located. I believe you know where cabins are yes?"
Percy nodded and soon Chiron dismissed him. As Percy walked to the Big House he pulled a pancake out of his inventory and started munching on it. He was hungry, starving really. But the truth is that he far more worried about Grover. He was Percy's best friend and Percy wanted to make sure personally he was fine.
By the time he made it to Big House the cakes were gone and Percy was full. He went to the second floor where the med bay was and saw Grover sitting in the bed furthest from the door. Percy smiled and walked up to Grover, "hey G-man."
Grover looked up from the book he was reading and noticed Percy. He smiled," hey Percy! How are you?"
"Good, good. Things are...weird. I now have a huge family on my dad's side, so that."
"So did you get a tour of the camp?"
"Yeah a child of Athena called Annabeth gave it for me. She was very through," Percy said and the shivered remembering his 'study' session with the Athena cabin.
"So Percy..." Grover began, "I think we need to talk about your parentage."
Percy blinked, "what about it?"
"Percy….you were never meant to exist."
Percy looked at his friend for a moment, "you really need to work on your delivery."
Grover sighed, "Percy I'm being serious. After World War 2, which was actually a war between Zeus, Poseidon and Hades children the three gods swore never have demigods again. They said their children were too powerful and influenced the world far too much."
"So wait... Hitler was the son of Hades?"
"Yup."
"...I'm not surprised."
Grover shrugged, "most aren't. Anyway as I was saying the big three swore never again to have children. But Zeus broke that pledge, and since you exists, Poseidon too."
This had his attention, "who was the child of Zeus?"
Grover sighed and looked up at the ceiling. His eyes became wet and he looked like he was remembering something, something sad, "her name was Thalia Grace."
At the sound of her name Percy's head immediately made the connection between this demigod and the name Thalia he read in Annabeth's bio.
"I was assigned to protect her and bring her and two other demigods back to camp. But I failed. Monsters tracked us down and she held back to by use more time. She got hurt bad Percy, very bad. But with her dying breath she asked for her dad's help in order to protect the camp. You remember that barrier we passed through?"
Percy nodded.
"It was made due to Thalia's sacrifice. If you go to the beginning of the camp there will be a pine tree bigger than all the other trees there. That is where Thalia is, after she died Zeus transformed her into a tree and it is her protecting that allows demigods today to live in peace."
