Chapter 320:

Percy zoomed back to his cabin and quickly checked around for

anything he might have left behind. He already had everything he

needed in his inventory, the only thing he left behind in the cabin were

two sets of old cloths and a few books.

Percy quickly write down a note explaining his actions and then quickly

left his cabin walking towards Thalia's tree. He didn't even bother to

say goodbye to his friends, he was sure they would get the message

he left.

As Percy walked to the tree he looked up at the Golden Fleece, or at

least this half of it. This was a mark of Percy's failure, if he had only

succeeded in stealing the Fleece back maybe Kronos would not have

been fully formed. Maybe the prophecy wouldn't have come true.

"Why can't it be someone else?" Percy sighed as he touched the trunk

of the tree, "why do I have to die?"

CREAK!

Percy jumped back as the wood in the tree started to move. Percy

watched in amazement as slowly the truck split open causing a person

to fall out of the tree. Percy grab the person before they hit the ground

and slowly pulled them out of the tree before the tree closed up again.

The person who fell out of the tree was a girl. She had spiky shoulder

length hair with blue streaks going along the side. She had dark

eyeliner around her eyes and freckles around her nose. She was tall,

taller than Percy with her long slender legs and muscular build. She

wore a black leather jacket on top of a black shirt which featured a

band called Green Day. She wore a bracelet around her wrist and

several chains along her hands giving off a very punkish look.

Percy looked at the name above the mystery girl's head and was

shocked beyond belief;

Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus

Lv- 25

Percy blinked, 'you have got to be kidding me.'

"I also wish for a million dollars and a lightsaber," Percy out loud. He

waited a few minutes but nothing happened, "huh, guess that only

works once."

Percy looked down at his arms at a girl who was thought to be dead.

Two of his friends had seen her die first hand, yet here she was. Percy

pressed his fingers next to her neck and felt a pulse, it was faint but

there.

Percy lifted Thalia up carrying her like a bride. 'What caused this?'

Percy wondered looking at the tree when suddenly his eyes were

drawn to the Fleece, 'Of course! If that thing could bring Kronos back,

who was in a million pieces, then Thalia should be easy.'

Percy walked as fast as he could towards the Big House, he didn't

want to hurt her by running to fast. While walking Percy quickly

Observed her to get a feel of what she was made off;

Thalia Grace, Protector of camp Half-blood

Lv- 25

HP: 150/1,500

MP: 625/625

Race- Demigod

Str-12

Vit-22

Dex-28

Int-15

Wis-9

Luc-23

The greek demigoddess of Zeus, Thalia had run away from home

at a very young age due to a fight with her mom and the

disappearance of her baby brother Jason. She traveled with Luke

and Annabeth for a long time becoming more and more powerful.

She later performed the ultimate sacrifice by giving her life to

save Grover, Annabeth and Luke's. Zeus took pity on her and

turned her into a tree forming a barrier around camp protecting

the people she cared for.

Likes: Annabeth, Luke, Jason, Being in charge

Dislikes: Heights, Zeus, her mother, Cyclops

She doesn't know Percy

She is unconcious

Percy was impressed, she had a unique title all for herself, something

which Percy has never seen before in a demigod. Usually their titles

was always a statement of who they were, like daughter of this or son

of that. For somebody to gain a title other than that...it would mean that

Thalia sees herself more of the camp's protector than the daughter of

Zeus.

He took her into the Big House and quickly up stairs to the Med Bay.

"Is anyone here?!" Percy yelled out the moment he entered the room.

"Epp!" Percy heard a soft and surprised voice say.

He turned and saw only one person in the entire room, a girl with

bushy brown hair and bright sky blue eyes. Percy looked at the title

above her head;

Nancy Verie, Daughter of Apollo

Lv- 19

"Nancy right?" Percy asked as he put Thalia on the closets bed.

"Ah-ah, yeah, how did you know?" The daughter of Apollo stammered

out.

Percy smiled, "I know all the pretty girls names," the girl blushed but

Percy was too busy looking around to notice, "where is everyone

else?"

"Th-they are at the party."

"Party?"

Nancy nodded, "ah huh, the victory party. You know, for you guys."

"So it's just us then," Percy commented as he went to the medical shelf

containing the medical potion Percy provided Michael with.

"Ah, us?" Nancy asked, "who is she by the way?"

Percy took out a low grade potion and walked back to Thalia, "you

wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"She looks sick," Nancy commented touching her forehead.

"She's just tired," Percy commented as he raised Thalia's head

lowering the liquid down her throat to swallow. The girl instinctively

swallowed down the potion restoring her health to half full.

"How do you know?"

Percy pressed his hand up against Thalia's chest, "I just do," he then

activated his blood control taking out little of his own blood and drawing

a healing rune around Thalia's forehead. Percy hen spent 720 HP and

200 MP to raise Thalia's health back to full.

Soon Thalia's skin returned back to normal and Percy smiled.

Nancy placed a hand on Thalia and used some of her powers to

diagnose the girl. "I-it's amazing," she whispered out, "she's back to full

health now. I would say she's about to wake up any moment."

Percy nodded, "good, that's good," Percy looked aside and towards the

windows going into a deep thought. He was wondering what he should

do now. Percy took a chair and sat it down next to Thalia's bed.

"How did you do that?" Nancy asked looking at Percy.

Percy looked confused "what?"

"How did, you know, heal her?"

"It's a rune," Percy pointed at the blood rune on Thalia's head, "it

transforms my health into her."

"Isn't that dangerous?"

PErcy shook his head, "not for me. I have a lot of energy when

compared to her. I probably just gave her...around 7% of my total

health."

Nancy looked at Percy in shock, "woah, you must have a lot of health

then huh?"

Percy nodded and looked down at Thalia, "yeah I do." Percy looked at

Thalia for a while before sighing, "look she'll probably be asleep for

sometime. I don't actually know her, but Annabeth does. Why don't you

call her, I'm sure she'll want to see her friend again."

Chapter 321:

"But if I don't stay next to her-"

"-Relax, I got this," Percy said giving the girl a relaxed smile, "I'll make

sure nothing happens to her. You just go get Annabeth, she needs to

see this."

Nancy looked like she wanted to say something but her shyness won

out as she nodded and walked out to go and call Annabeth.

Percy sighed and looked down at Thalia's unconscious form. "Guess

it's just you and me cousin," Percy said as he leaned back on his chair.

He waited for some time, he mostly spent it thinking about whether this

was a blessing or a curse. With Thalia here he didn't have to be the

chosen one, but she wasn't strong like him, she wasn't ready to fight

them.

The entire world had just changed. Thalia wasn't suppose to be alive,

but now that she was this changed the prophecy. Thalia was 15, if you

don't include the time she spent as a tree, meaning she was the

closest one to filling the prophecy, not him. Kronos now had a way to

control the prophecy again, he could use Luke to get to Thalia.

Percy was happy at first, if Thalia was the child of the prophecy that

means he didn't have to die. But after some time Percy's mind started

working over time and he realised something, Thaila would probably

die to moment she even tries to face Kronos.

Percy sighed, he realised that she didn't stand a chance. Percy didn't

know Thalia personally, heck he didn't even know her fighting style, but

he knew one thing, he was stronger than her. He was their best chance

at winning, with Thalia now being the child of prophecy…. Things didn't

look so good.

Percy shook his head, things just got complicated, again. Looks like his

trip to his mom's just got postponed for the foreseeable future.

Soon several feet were heard coming up the stairs and Percy turned to

see Nancy and Annabeth walking up the stairs.

The daughter of Athena had red eyes from crying, it hurt Percy to see

that. "Percy why did you-" she stopped midsentence gasping the

moment her eyes fell onto Thalia, "-is-is that..."

"Thalia," Percy said, "for some reason the tree opened up and spat her

out. I brought her here to be healed, she's alive Annabeth."

The daughter of Wisdom walked towards the bed and slowly touched

Thalia's check afraid she would shatter she with a mere touch. She

traced her finger along her face and finally when it seemed she wasn't

going to crack like a mirror Annabeth fell to her knees in joy.

Percy got up as Annabeth started to cry tears of joy. He walked to the

stairs leaving her alone with her old friend.

"Where are you going?" Nancy asked.

"I need some air," Percy said as he walked away.

He left the Big House and walked to the beach. Percy walked along the

sand and the water, he had just spent days out there in the seas and

though he felt like he should have been sick and tired of all the water

he wasn't. The water was part of his domain, it was what made him,

him.

Percy sat down on the sandy shores and laid back. It was all moving

so fast, the prophecy, his friends not telling him, Thalia…..Kronos.

Percy looked at the sea, the calm waves soothed his anger and his

confusion. Just then a flash of light exploded in front of him breaking

the sense of tranquility Percy was surrounded in.

Percy blinked away the temporary blindness, he really needed to learn

how to protect himself from that, and looked up to see Artemis standing

before him. The Goddess looked the same as always as she turned to

Percy and smiled.

"Artemis?" Percy asked slowly getting up, "what are you doing here?"

"Hello Percy, I heard you were back. Just wanted to drop in and see

how you were."

Percy blinked, "ah, I'm good I guess. I just came back this morning."

Artemis smiled as she sat down next to him, "so how did the quest

go?"

"Well, it went well I suppose. I took care of Argo and the base, I had

help but we pulled down the entire structure on top of him killing them

all."

Artemis nodded, "very good Percy. I'm impressed, not many people

could have done what you did."

"Thanks, I guess," Percy sighed.

Artemis raised an eyebrow, "why are you so glum? Did something

happen?"

"No, nothing happened," Percy said closing himself emotionally.

"Really? Cause it looks like someone kicked your dog and then spat on

it," Artemis said in a teasing tone.

"Artemis I would kick my dog and spit on it," Percy said with a chuckle,

"don't forget that mutt and I hate each other."

Artemis shrugged, "I see it more as a work in progress. But I digress,

tell me what's bothering you Percy, and don't tell me it's nothing. I can

see depression written clearly on your face."

Percy sighed, he shouldn't have even tried to fight it, "it's nothing really.

Earlier today I found out my friend was keeping something from me,

something important. We had a fight and…..here I am."

"Sounds like there's more to this story," Artemis said, "but you don't

have to share if you don't want to."

"Thanks," Percy said as he once again remained silent. The two sat

there for a long time in comfortable silence before Percy broke it again,

"it's about the Prophecy."

"What prophecy?"

"The one involving a demigod of the Eldest Gods and Kronos," Percy

said.

Artemis nodded, her face was empty of all emotion but understanding,

"so you found out."

"I just don't understand why they didn't tell me!" Percy yelled out

standing up, "I mean what can possibly happen if they don't tell me?

It's not like it wouldn't have come true! If they had told me sooner at

least I could have spent more time getting ready! I could have been

trained properly!"

Percy could feel his anger take over. He was just about to use Gamer's

mind to calm himself down when suddenly Artemis was by his side.

She touched his neck as slowly time started to slow down for Percy. He

looked into her eyes, those beautiful eyes, and she looked back.

Chapter 322:

Artemis smiled, Percy felt his cheeks heat up. She tightened her grip

on his neck and in one throw threw him over her shoulder and into the

ocean.

Percy felt himself flying through the air before crashing into the ice cold

water.

You have entered a water body! Due to your parentage you have

gained a boost!

+1000 HP

+1000 MP

All wounds are healed

All ailments cured

Water Breathing ability active

+1000 HP(+1000 HP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 HP

+1000 MP (+1000 MP due to necklace of Poseidon) = +2000 MP

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Percy screamed out as got on his feet, "WHY

THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!"

Artemis grinned, "you looked like you needed to cool off."

"Oh yeah?" Percy asked as his angry snarl turned to a playful smile, "I

think you need to cool of too."

Percy commanded the water and slowly started to lift himself up.

Slowly he formed a huge wave and sent it hurling at the beach. Artemis

simply watched and stared with an open mouth as the huge wave

come for her.

Suresh!

Artemis was blow back as she was covered head to toe with water and

sand. Percy landed on the shore and laughed himself silly pointing at

the goddess fallen form.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Artemis roared as she got up, "YOU GOT

SAND EVERYWHERE!"

"Then maybe you'll think next time before you decide to throw a son of

Poseidon into the freaking ocean!"

"I'm going to kick your ass!" Artemis said as she tried to run towards

Percy only for the demigod to freeze the ground underneath Artemis's

feet causing her to slip and fall on her behind.

Percy smiled, "you were saying?" He began laughing again as Artemis

slowly got back on her feet.

"You keep laughing and I'll neuter you!"

Percy tried to control his laughter by putting his hands over his mouth

but failed miserably, "I'm sorry! HAHA! Oh God that was funny as hell!

You looked like that penguin from Happy Feet! OH GODS! HAHAH!"

"Shut up Percy!" Artemis yelled as she punched Percy's shoulder.

"Damn Happy Feet I think you might have broken my shoulder," Percy

teased her as he rubbed his shoulder.

"I'm break your ribs!" Artemis tackled him to the ground and grabbed

his arms, "I am going to make you beg for mercy Jackson!"

"Really?" Percy raised an eyebrow, "and how are you going to do that

happy feet?"

"Like this," she grunted as she began tickling Percy underneath his

armpit and neck causing him to squirm under her.

"Stop it!" Percy cried out laughing as he tried to grab her only the

goddess was to fast as she avoided all his grabs making him laugh

harder.

"Give up Sea head!"

"Okay! Okay! You win!" Percy cried out, "just stop the tickles!"

"I win!" Artemis shouted out lifting her hands up.

Percy laughed and looked up to see Artemis smile at him. In that

moment he swore that she was the most perfect thing in this world, and

there was nothing more beautiful than her.

Her face was just inches away from his as her legs straddled his chest.

Water dripped across her face and body making her shine like silver

under the moonlight. She was warm, unlike the night and water on

them. Percy could feel his heart rate increase by the second as he felt

something inside himself that he had never felt before. He couldn't

place it, he couldn't understand it, but he knew one thing, he wanted to

be right here with Artemis.

And just then;

Ping!

You have achieved a new status! Puberty!

Puberty- This status will last for the next three years and will

cause;

Hair growth in- face, armpits, limbs and genital area

Voice cracking up

Increase in the size of your genitals

Your emotions will get out of hand

You will have a sexual awaking

Prone to be dressed or hyperactive

You will grow taller

us want that.

'Oh you have got to be kidding me! Way to ruin the moment asshole!'

"Percy?" Artemis asked causing Percy to blink in surprise, "earth to

Percy? To still alive in there or did I tickle the brains out of you?"

Percy shook his head, "no...no I was just...never mind."

Artemis looked worried but shrugged as she got off Percy causing the

demigod to sadden from the loss of warmth. She helped him up as

Percy dired them both off using his moisture control.

They sat down next to each other looking at the ocean and the moon

overhead. Percy's shock his head as he once again read through his

new status, 'this is complete bullshit.'

"You okay Percy?" Artemis asked again, "you seem very distracted."

Percy blinked, "oh, well it's nothing," Percy closed the box, it was a

problem for another time, "anyway, thanks."

"For what? Kicking your ass?" Artemis asked giggling.

"Ha-ha, very funny, icy foot" Percy said with a smile.

"Do you want me to hurt you again sea brain?"

"Sea brain? That's horrible nickname, shows a complete lack of

imagination."

"Lack of imagination? I have 20 different ways to attract a guy, if that

doesn't take imagination then I don't know what does."

Percy and Artemis laughed as the two slowly simply sat there enjoying

the other's company.

"Thanks Artemis, I was in a runt and you helped….so thanks."

Artemis smiled, "what are friends for."

Percy nodded, "friend's, right. Anyway I don't even know why I was

upset. After all I'm not the 'chosen one' any more, the prophecy isn't my

headache now."

"Wait what? What do you mean? You are the only demigod alive of the

Eldest Greek Gods Percy."

The demigod shook his head, "not anymore. Thalia, the girl who Zeus

zapped into a tree, is back."

"What?!"

"Yeah, I guess the Fleece did a better job than expected, it brought her

back in full," Percy said, "she's recovering in the Big House right now."

"Percy I have to go," Artemis said getting up and drying herself off,

"Olympus needs to know this right now."

Percy was disappointed, he wanted her to stay longer but he

understood. "Well okay then, bye I suppose."

Artemis nodded and flashed away leaving Percy all alone. The

demigod sighed as he laid flat on the sand looking up at the stars in the

sky. A lot had happened, but in the end it did nothing but test his

determination.

Chapter 323:

The journey ahead is probably going to be filled with danger and

betrayals, Percy may to have to become a person he doesn't want to

be, but in the end this little crisis of identity, this battle in his head

served to only prove one thing, he was going to protect those he cared

about, even if they hate him.

Percy soon got up and walked back to the Big House, it was a long and

tiring day and it wasn't over yet. Percy needed to tell Annabeth that he

forgives her, he needed to forgive his friend. He also eager to meet

Thalia, after all it was thanks to her that everyone in camp is still alive.

But as Percy was walking back to the Big House the wind from the sea

stopped blowing setting Percy's senses on edge. The wind never

stopped blowing around these parts, never.

Percy took out his blade as slowly the darkness around his slowly

gathered from the shadows in the trees and bushes to form a mirror

directly in front of him.

Percy slowly leveled his blade in front of him, he activated his Body

From, 8.0 Eyesight and Speed Demon perk just in case and waited for

the black mirror to do something.

Just then an image formed on the surface of the mirror and Percy saw

Hades looking at him through it.

"Hades?" Percy asked surprised, "wh-what the hell?"

"Ah, nephew, always a pleasure," the God of the Underworld sneered

at Percy.

Percy ignored the clear sarcasm and continued, "what do you want

uncle? Persephone using the chains again?"

"No," Hades growled out. Last year Percy had given Persephone the

chains of Hephaestus to bind Hades and basically make him her slave.

She used that power and basically tortured Hades for months before

she got bored and released him. Hades basically became the laughing

stock of Olympus and for some reason he blames PErcy for that.

"So what do you want? I assume this isn't a social visit."

"It's not," Hades sighed, "look I'll get straight to the point, I need you to

do something for me."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "you want to give me a quest?"

Hades sighed again pinching his nose, "yes. It's very important and it

needs to be handled delicately, normally I would give the job to Alecto,

my most trusted lieutenant, but as you know she seemed to have a

change of heart," he glared at Percy for the last part.

"Oh yeah I remember that," Percy said, "it was around the time you

sent her to kill me and kidnapped my mother. Tell me why exactly do

you think I would even help you?"

Hades raised an eyebrow, "do you really want to piss me off by saying

no?"

"Haven't I already pissed you off?"

Hades sighed again, "fine, you may not want to do this quest for me,

but I know you will accept, it is in your nature."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "really. Okay I'll bite, why do you think I will

accept this quest?"

"Because it involves demigods," Hades said simply causing Percy to

get startled, "ah, look's like I have your attention now."

Percy narrowed his eyes, "how does your quest involve demigods?"

"I will give you the location of two demigods, I want you to locate them

and bring them back to camp, unharmed."

"Where are they?"

"They are located in a place called the Lotus casino in Las Vegas, you

will have no trouble finding the place I assure you."

"And why are these demigods so special?"

Hades rolled his eyes, "come now Jackson I'm sure you have guessed

it by now. Their names are Bianca and Nico di Angelo, and they are my

children."

Chapter 324:

"You have kids?" Percy looked surprised before letting out a depressed

sigh, "why aren't I surprised? So basically everyone of the 'Eldest

Gods' broke your oaths and had children, sigh, Greeks."

"No, for your information I didn't break my oath," Hades said in a better

than you tone, "I was the only one who kept true to my word."

Percy raised an eyebrow, "really? Because unless your kids are 60

years old or something there's no way you didn't break your oath."

Hades shook his head, "no, they are still children, but they were born

before the oath was even made."

Percy sighed again, "I feel like you want me to ask you how that's

possible, but if I do that you are probably not going to shut up, so I

don't want to do that."

Hades narrowed his eyes, "you are as rude as your father."

"Thanks, it runs in the family uncle."

Hades glared at Percy, "my children were born before world war 2, I

knew they were in danger, Zeus had already killed their mother to try

and get to me. I had to protect them. I sent them to the Lotus Hotel and

Casino, which is a place that dilutes time making people feel time has

nearly stopped when it reality days if not years has passed. I did this to

protect them from everything, the war, Zeus and even Poseidon."

"I doubt my dad is capable of killing children Hades."

"You have no idea what my brother is capable of nephew," Hades said

with narrowed eyes, "your father may seem like the perfect god to you,

but to others he is a monster. I have seen him destroy lives Jackson, I

know what he truly is like."

Percy narrowed his eyes, "that may be but that is the past. People

change, I know my dad isn't the same man."

"People change, God's don't."

"Look let's just get to the point, you want me to save your kids, why?

The have been safe for so long, you could have released them any

time you want. But right now Kronos is back and we a in the brink of

war, why risk your kids lives?"

Hades remained silent before answering, "because before Zeus would

have killed them without a second thought, but now he is

more…..tame. He doesn't try and kill you every day, though you give

him plenty of reason to," Percy flipped off the God, "and right now I

believe Olympus needs all the powerful demigods it can get. Or am I

wrong?"

Percy nodded, "you're right. We need help. And you also sound like a

caring father, if I didn't think you were full of it," Hades remained quite

as Percy continued, "I think you are throwing your hat in to try and

snatch the prophecy. Plus you have two kids, twice the chance of you

winning. You don't look at them like your children, you only see them as

w-"

"Don't you dare complete that line Jackson!" Hades roared.

Percy narrowed his eyes as he threw the words out, "as weapons."

"How dare you! I care for my children more than anything else! I was

heartbroken when their mother died and I did everything I could to

exact my revenge! I protected them! I wanted to be with them always

but kept my distance because I knew that if I tried to stay with them I

would put them in danger, again! And you say that I treat them like

tools?!"

Percy remained silent, he processed all that information and suddenly

something came up. It was a memory of a long time ago, the first time

he saw the mummified oracle.

Percy's eyebrows shot open, "you cursed the oracle of Delphi because

Zeus killed your lover," Percy remembered what his Observation

powers had told him about the mummy, and when you're next to a

rotting corpse that talked information like that tended to stick out.

Hades nodded, "yes, I did. I don't know how you know that, but yes I

cursed her. She will never again find another host unless my children

are released from the Great Prophecy, and the only way to do that is to

fulfill it."

"Is it possible for you to lift the curse? It's kind of creepy to keep talking

to a mummy."

Hades shook his head, "no, my curse is set and it's been active for too

long. It would take too much energy to destroy it."

Percy sighed, "fine, I'll help them. But you owe me one Hades."

Ping!

Quest alert!

Find and bring back Nico and Bianca di Angelo

Reward,

5,000 Exp

50 D

+1 level in Shadow control

Failure,

Kronos gets the children

YES/NO?

Percy pressed yes, it wasn't much in the case of a reward but the

failure option made it so that Percy had to do it.

Hades and the black mirror disappeared leaving Percy once again

alone. The son of Poseidon turned and walked to the Big House as fast

as he could, he still needed to check up on Annabeth.

Percy entered the Med Bay and saw Annabeth sitting next to a still

unconscious Thalia.

"She still hasn't woken up?" Percy asked surprising Annabeth.

"Oh, it's you Percy. No, she hasn't woken up yet. What are you doing

here?"

"I came to make sure nothing happened to her, or you," Percy said

looking at Annabeth. The demigoddess looked bad, her eyes were red

with bags under them. Percy felt guilty just knowing he was the cause

of that.

"Look Percy I am sorry that I didn't tell you, I just-"

"I get it," Percy interrupted her, "I know Annabeth, and I was mad, but I

realised you just did what you thought was right. I get it," Percy smiled,

"friends?"

Annabeth smiled sadly, "I don't get how you can just forgive me like

that."

"'Like that?' Didn't you see the big temper tantrum I threw? It was

worse then how Michael gets when we make fun of him with Clarisse,"

Percy joked causing Annabeth to laugh.

"Yeah, those two should totally get a room," she said, "again, I'm sorry."

Percy patted her on the head, "forget about it Annabeth, besides I said

'friends' and did the whole forgiving thing. Move on already."

Annabeth chuckled, "you are such a seaweed brain."

"You know it," Percy turned to Thalia, "think she might wake up soon?"

"I guess," Annabeth said yawning, "but I'm not sure when."

"Why don't you get some rest," Percy said pointing to the empty bed

next to them, "I'll stay and watch her. I promise to wake you up if

anything happens."

"No Percy's it's okay I, YAWN."

"I think your body just spoke for you," Percy said pushing Annabeth off

the chair and to the bed, "now sleep."

"Can you even stay awake all night? You did it last night I don't want to

be stressing you out or anything."

"Relax, I slept in the afternoon, besides I don't need much sleep

anyway," Percy smiled as he threw a blanket on Annabeth, "now

sleep."

Chapter 325:

Annabeth smiled and soon she was off to her dream land. Percy sat

back in the chair over Thalia's bed and began his watch. He didn't

really mind, after all he didn't really need sleep. Plus now he could look

at two cute girls sleep.

….

'Okay where did that come from?!' Percy yelled at himself, 'I sound like

a fucking stalker!'

Percy looked at Thalia again and he couldn't help but note how long

and slender her legs were. Those things could go on for miles! And her

hips, god they were so thick and plump, just made him want to-

'HOLD THE FUCK UP!' Percy yelled out as he shut his eyes slamming

down his Gamer's mind to drive stray thought out of his head, 'what the

hell is happening to me?!'

Percy opened his eyes a bit and immediately they went to Thalia's

large firm breasts before Percy shut them close again.

'Okay think Percy think! What happened to you? Why are you acting

this way?! You have never even checked out a girl before?! Well there

was that time with Marchasis, and Persephone, but those times they

were practically naked, it would have been rude not to look! And

Artemis was kind of literally on me...wait! That's it!'

Percy quickly his status and looked at his new one;

Puberty- This status will last for the next three years and will

cause;

'SEXUAL AWAKENING?!' Percy's eyes threatened to pop out of their

sockets when the demigod read that.

'Is that why I'm checking Thalia out?! Then why haven't I checked out

anyone else?!' Percy turned to look at Annabeth, now that she was

asleep she looked so calm. One could imagine what was under that

sheet. Percy could just see the hint of her chest underneath and her

toned stomach was clearly visible. Why hadn't he realised how hot she

was?

'No!' Percy yelled out slapping himself, 'bad Percy! You are not allowed

to check out your hot friends!'

He pushed down Gamer's mind and slowly he could feel the awkward

sexual feelings slowly slip away. Percy needed a distraction,

something, anything to get his attention away from the two hot girls in

front of him.

Percy opened up his inventory and looked through the books he got

from Argo. He immediately took out around 15 books or so and began

reading them at normal speed in order for them to last longer.

By the time the sun came up Percy had read three books about Roman

history earning his that skill;

Roman history- Lv-8 - A basic understanding towards Roman

history. Slightly above common knowledge

Percy figured the only reason he got such a high level starting off was

because Roman myths were basically a rip off of Greek Myth, which he

was a level 15 at.

He also got one more level in physics by reading another book about

the forces of nature;

Physics- Lv- 3- Basic concepts of physical science.

Of course he didn't understand anything he read, but it somehow still

counted. Percy also read three books describing advanced quantum

mechanics but those didn't level his skill up or give him the option to

fast learn due to his low level in physics.

There were around 7 books on geography which Argo seemed to have

used to try and find temples in Greece. This gave Percy a new skill all

together;

Maps, Lv- X

The skill tell you how well you know certain areas;

America - 0.9%

Greece- 50%

The maps were very detailed and Argo even had notes in the side

about things that weren't even mentioned in the books.

The last book however wasn't actually a text of any kind. It was a novel

by George Orwell called 1984. It was a very interesting book to read for

Percy, it was one of the few books he ever read for fun.

It's story was about a future where the government monitors

everything, even emotions. It kind of reminded Percy about that

Christian Bale movie, Equilibrium. Guess the movie was based on the

book.

The book featured a man, Winston Smith, who was a thought criminal,

meaning he had his own independent thoughts, something the big

brother government he lived under hated. He spent his entire life hiding

who he was, what he was. He repressed his sexual urges and desires

to rebel until eventually he fell in love with a woman named Julia.

Together they both defied the government and had sex for the sake of

sex, which again was not something the government allowed as sex

was only supposed to be done to reproduce. Yeah, the government

was a dick.

Eventually though Winston and Julia got caught, they were tortured,

Julia was lobotomized and Winston was to be put to death. In the end

the story ended in a sober note, something Percy felt connected with. It

must have been the Greek in him, after all the Greeks did love them

some tragedy.

While reading the book Percy related Winston's problems with his own,

except they were complete opposites. Winston wanted to show off his

sexuality, he wanted to be with the woman he loved, but couldn't. Here

Percy wanted to not be inappropriate and control his urges, he wanted

to make sure that he was always in control.

But if he didn't react to these urges Percy might end up like Winston,

and believe me you do not want to be like that man, ever.

So an answer came to Percy, balance. Percy needed to both control

and explore this new emotion he was feeling. He shouldn't hide it like

Winston did, nor should he become a total pervert like a certain rich

son of Hermes he knew who lived in Boston.

Ping!

+1 to Wis!

Percy blinked, he didn't expect that. Guess reading interpreting and

applying books increases wisdom. Percy closed the book and put it

away just as Annabeth was stirring.

Chapter 326

"Percy?" Annabeth grumbled out as she rubbed her eyes.

"Hey Annabeth," Percy smiled as his eyes went to the girl's breasts

before Percy regained control and looked at her sleep filled eyes, "nice

nap?"

"Yeah, did you stay up all night?"

Percy nodded, "yeah, Thalia hasn't said a word."

"I see," Annabeth said getting up, "you know you should probably go

back to your cabin and get some shut eye as well. I'll take over now."

Percy nodded, "right, well about that. I've been meaning to talk to you

about something."

Annabeth looked cautious, "what's this about?"

"Last night, before I came back, I meet up with Hades," Percy said as

he began to explain everything that happened between them to

Annabeth.

"Wow," Annabeth said as her eyes sparkled with the new information

Percy just dumped on her, "so there's a place that will basically make

you live in a form of stasis?! It's like your storage dimension only

bigger!"

Percy nodded, "yeah, but I think you're missing the point. There are

two more kids who both have an equal chance of fulfilling the prophecy

now. Things are getting heated up fast, first Thalia came back, now two

more potential chosen ones. If I didn't know better I would say

someone was planning this all out."

"Well we do have three old women who weave our fates in a tapestry,"

Annabeth commented, "maybe this is just the Fates way of speeding

things up."

Percy nodded, "maybe. But anyway I need to leave as soon as I can."

"Don't you think you should get some sleep first?"

Percy shook his head, "I'm good. Trust me."

Annabeth sighed, "fine, are you going to the oracle for a prophecy?"

"I rather not begin my day by looking at the rotten corpse of a woman

who should have died in the 60's, thank you very much."

"So how are you going to get there? Bus? Train? Plane?"

Percy smiled, "I thought about it. It would take around 40 hours to get

from here to Las Vegas, that is if I don't make any stops, and that's to

long. And I am definitely not flying there. Me and two kids of Hades?

Zeus wouldn't hesitate to kill us all so that his daughter would become

the only candidate of the prophecy."

"What about teleportation? Don't you have some kind of key that lets

you instantly travel to Hades's palace?"

Percy gulped, "yeah but I really don't want to go there right now,"

especially with the puberty status. 'Hell if I saw Persephone I may not

want to leave!'

"So what's the plan water brian?"

"I'm going to run it."

Annabeth blinked. She dug her ears and cleared it of wax before

turning back to Percy, "I'm sorry I couldn't hear that properly. Could you

repeat that?"

"I said I'm going to run it."

"Percy that's about 3,000 miles from here!"

"Yeah I know, so?"

"So? So?! You can't run that long!"

Percy shrugged, "actually I wouldn't really know. I haven't really tested

my limits in that regard. I know my max speed and all, but I don't know

for how long I can run. Two birds one stone."

"Sigh, okay then what about shoes? You are going to run for so long

that I bet your shoes will wear off before you even leave the state

Percy."

Percy shrugged, "I got an idea about that," 'HNI shopping for the win!'

Annabeth sighed, "has anyone ever told you you were stubborn as a

mule?"

Percy smiled, "yeah, lots of people. I tend to ignore them though."

Annabeth walked forward and caught Percy in a hug, "just be safe

okay?"

Percy was blushing, he could feel her breasts up against his shirt. He

quickly slammed down Gamer's mind before responding, "y-yeah. I

promise."

Annabeth broke the hug and the two went their separate ways.

Annabeth stayed back with Thalia while Percy went downstairs and to

the porch.

The camp was still asleep, the sun had just risen. Percy took a seat on

the porch and quickly pulled out the HNI;

HNI,

A device used by the children of Hermes and few other campers.

It allows access to the H-Net which will give you access to the

world without worry of monsters finding out.

Percy put the took on a piece of paper and turned it on. The home

screen popped up and Percy quickly went into the shopping corner. He

then began a search for friction resistance shoes and after some time

spent digging he found the perfect pair;

Fric Shoes,

A set of shoes that will guaranty style, comfort and application.

It's soles are made out of an amalgamation of rubber and celestial

bronze ensuring flexibility and anti-wearing.

Note: This shoe has blades hidden inside it

Enchanted to be resistant to high levels of heat and extreme

weather conditions while allowing the wearer to have full range of

movements.

Durability- 100/100

Cost- 500D

The price was steep and it would set back Percy by a lot, but it was

worth it, especially those hidden blades.

Percy pressed buy now and pulled out the required amount and placed

it on the device. The exchanged happened in a flash of light as the

money was replaced with a box containing Percy's new shoes.

They were black with an omega symbol near the mouth. The inside

had an orange foam lining with the tip being metal plated. The rubber

underneath was thick with metal plates woven into it, and Percy could

see a hole at the tip from which the blades came out off. It didn't have

any laces but when Percy pressed the omega symbol the mouth

opened up allowing Percy to easily slip his foot into the shoes before it

automatically closed itself.

Percy quickly switched shoes and tried his new ones out. They were

pretty cool, very flexible and very comfortable with a type of cooling

chamber inside to keep the feet from heating up and smelling.

Chapter 327

Percy took out the instruction book he received in the box and quickly

read through it. It seemed that in order to activate his blades Percy had

to kick his heels. He did so and immediately two very sharp blades

popped out of them. The blades were around 7 inches long and an inch

thick. They were dangerous to use, but definitely useful in a fight.

Percy clicked his heels again re-sheathing the blades before he threw

aside the box and instruction manual, don't need those anymore.

Percy then began the ultimate test for the shoes. He slowly went out of

the porch and stood facing the camp's entrance. Percy began to run

slowly at first. He reached and passed Thalia's tree, wait if Thalia isn't

in there any more should it even be called her tree?

He reached the hill and activated his Speed demon perk causing and

slowly increased his speed. He found himself zooming past Mountain

country side as the wind hit him faster and faster. Percy smiled, he

lived for moments like this.

But just then a bug flew into his nose causing Percy to stumbled

forward in surprise and skid across the road rolling over himself.

Percy groaned as he shook the ringing in his. 'Note to self, when going

at super speed always remember to close your mouth to prevent

swallowing bugs.'

Percy sighed and slowly got up and walked to the side of the road. He

leaned on a road marker and noticed there was a box open in front of

him;

Defence - 122,980

Percy closed the box and took out the HNI again, he needed

something to cover his mouth and nose so that he didn't accidentally

swallow a bug or anything.

After a few minutes of searching he found the perfect object;

Lightweight retractable helmet;

It's base form is a single uniglass yellow tinted goggles. To

activate the helmet simply press the Cadin industry logo on the

side.

Warning! This helmet is for cosmetic use only, it is not strong

enough to support injuries caused in accidents!

Durability- 5/5

It wasn't much, but it was something. Percy payed a 10 D and quickly

got the goggles in a flash of light.

Percy then put away the HNI and looked at his new item. The goggles

were made out of a single glass, wide at the edges and narrower in the

center. The glass rested on a thick pad which looked comfortable and

the strap looked metallic with strange runes around it. Percy could

understand a few, due to his limited knowledge on rune, and he

understood that the rune created a construct of sorts that would help

form the lightweight helmet.

Percy put the goggles on and left around the side of the glass.

Eventually on the left was a raised button which Percy pressed causing

his the rune to glow forming a yellow helmet around Percy's head.

'This is so cool!' Percy said as he felt around. The construct was hard

enough to prevent Percy's finger from slipping in, but if he tried hard

enough he managed to bypass their defence and poke his head. It was

like a layer of jelly around his head, it may not be useful in a fight, but

right now it was just what he needed.

Percy turned to the road again and without a second thought took off at

max speed. The goggles/helmet made things way easier for Percy. He

could see more clearly now, without the wind constantly attacking his

eyes forcing them to squint. And the best part is that all the bug outside

were splattered on his helmet, which Percy promptly wiped away.

Slowly he reached the edge of New York And passed around Queen's

entering Manhattan. He blew past the city causing a gust of wind

wherever he passed by, lucky the city was not to full to notice him

zoom past.

He then decided to take the I-80 Express and quickly got out of

Manhattan. The highway was basically empty except for a few cars that

looked like they weren't even moving for Percy.

Along the way a message popped up;

+2 for Vit!

'Guess I still can level stats up,' Percy thought to himself, 'but I am

running from state to state so I would be surprised if they didn't level

up.'

Percy had zoomed half way across the state of Pennsylvania when he

noticed that his clothes had started to heat up. 'Oh great, what now?'

Percy got off the road and stopped inside a dense forest, the moment

he stopped his clothes lit up in flames from the friction.

Percy quickly took of his jacket, shirt and pants and threw them to the

side. He had completely forgotten about the fact that his clothes

weren't friction proof. His jacket was fine, and so was his shirt for the

most part. But his pants were burnt with a huge hole made near his

thighs.

Luckily Percy didn't get hurt, he barely even lost a health point, thanks

Physical Endurance skill. But this was a problem.

Percy opened up his HNI again and quickly searched the shop for an

items that were friction resistant and after some searching while he

stood in the middle of a forest in his boxers , he found one.

Skin tight Super Fabric leggings,

Ceramic dynami, reinforced ceramics created by Hephaestus,are

in the form of tiny hexagonal plates placed underneath a layer of

nylon to ensure added protection and reduce heat caused by the

wearer. Originally created for God's to wear when training on their

running.

Enchanted with friction resistance and fire proof.

Durability- 75/75

Cost -200

Percy sighed and pressed yes buying the pants. The pants appeared in

a flash and Percy quickly put them on. They were a little big for him but

he rolled up the legs a little and it fit him perfectly. The pants were skin

tight, like the description said it was, and mostly black with white dots

in the shape of hexagons everywhere.

Percy put on his shirt and jacket and took of, leaving the ruined pants

behind. He soon was back on the road as he quickly passed

Pennsylvania and entered Ohio.

It had been half an hour since Percy left camp, he had traveled at his

max speed that was around 717 miles or 1,000 Km. The total journey

was around 3,000 miles, at this rate Percy calculated he would have to

keep this rate up for around a total of 4 hours, or in this case 3 and a

half.

Chapter 328

Soon however Percy's stomach startled to growl as his body began to

tier. The demigod quickly pulled off the highway and stopped at a

Mcdonald's near the highway. It made sense, Percy might have had

pretty high stamina thanks to his Vit but that to had limits. When it

reached it's limit it notified him with hunger and tiredness, which was

similar to how his mana exhaustion worked.

Percy pressed the side of his goggles causing his helmet to deform

and retract back into the band. Percy then lowered his goggles to

around his neck and entered the fast food place. He found it to be

nearly empty except for a teenager manning the counter;

Derek Morgan, sales boy

Lv- 5

Derek didn't even bother looking up to see who had come in, he was

too busy typing on his phone. It was only when Percy was right at the

counter did the lazy teenage even notice him.

"Welcome to Mcdonalds can I take your order?" He asked lazily as he

put his phone away and leaned across the counter..

"Yeah I would like….." Percy looked at the menu carefully before

deciding to throw caution to the wind, after all he wasn't looking out for

his figure or anything, "I'll have 32 big macs, 1 large coke and 21 large

french fries."

The teenager's eyes popped open at Percy's order but typed them in,

"and a-ah is this to go or...what?"

Percy shook his head, "no it's to eat."

"Is someone else coming?"

"No, just me."

"Little dude do you really think you can eat all this?!" Derek asked

pointing at the huge bill he had just printed out.

Percy shrugged, "if I can't I'll just bring it all home."

Derek blinked, "I don't think you can do that."

"Look man I'm in kind of a rash so if you could just let me decide what I

can or cannot do," Percy said rolling his hands in a 'get on with it'

motion.

Derek raised an eyebrow but rang Percy up, "your total is 193.19."

Percy pulled out 200$ from his inventory and gave it to the employee

who looked surprised at the amount given and annoyed because he

was now going to have to make such a large order.

Percy got back his change and took a seat at a table in the corner.

While he waited for his food Percy looked at the TV and saw that it was

the news covering latest events. There was a freak storm somewhere

in Texas and a flood in florida. A celebrity had been caught cheating on

his wife and an old rich man had said something racist and was now

apologizing for it. Same old, same old.

But then something interesting came up, a news report on a 'freak'

sinkhole had formed in the island of Nassau a few days ago.

"Police in Nassau are still not sure what caused the sinkhole. Whether

it was nature or caused by man is unknown. There have been reports

of people hearing bombs go off around that area but so far nothing has

been found supporting the theory of the sinkhole being man made.

Luckily no one got hurt as all the damage was done to an empty golf

course during the middle of the day.

"And also from the island of Nassau, around 100 people have been

reported missing, including Mr. Rich Cromwell, who is known world

wide as the head of the Techno industry in Denmark. Police have been

investigating these disappearances for the last few months but with no

results. But with this case along with the sinkhole a public light had

been shed towards Nassau causing the law enforcement to be put

under a lot of stress."

Percy stopped listening then, so far they didn't suspect foul play or

couldn't prove it, meaning they were safe. It was also good news that

the public was being informed of the people Argo kidnapped from the

island. But before Percy could think about this any more Derek came

up with a plate filled with burgers and fries with one lone large soda.

"I don't think that's all of them," Percy said counting them all quickly,

"there are about half ere."

"We ran out," Derek said, "the chef's making them as we speak."

"Right," Percy said opening up his first big mac, "oh and you guys do

give free refills yes?"

Derek rolled his eyes, "yes, we do give free refills."

Percy nodded and quickly took a bite out of his burger.

12 minutes later;

Derek couldn't believe his eyes, the little kid that had come in a few

minutes ago was still eating. He had finished all the burgers and was

getting through the fries as well. He had to record this, people wouldn't

believe him otherwise!

Derek slowly took out phone to record but Percy noticed it immediately

and quickly manipulated the Mist around the device fo that it wouldn't

record anything.

Percy quickly went back to eating his fries, he used a little super speed

to finish them all quickly before drinking his coke in one gulp. Percy

turned to Derek, "where are the rest bro?"

Derek blinked, "ah, I'll get them for you right away dude," he then

stopped recording and went to back to get the rest of Percy's order.

Soon Percy had finished eating to his heart's content, all 32 Big Macs

and 21 fries. Percy let out a burp and rubbed his tummy, he could feel

how full he was. Surprisingly though he didn't even get a little bump on

his stomach from all the food, Gamer's body must have been working

over time for that.

"Dude you should totally be in a food eating competition," Derek told

him with his mouth wide open.

"Thanks dude," Percy burped again, "we'll….see ya."

Percy then got up and quickly walked out of the restaurant. Derek

quickly took out his phone and looked at the video. But the moment he

pressed play a message popped up saying that the video file in

question had been corrupted making it unuseable.

'What the hell is going on?'

Percy took a deep breath of fresh air and stretched himself out, he may

not need to make another pit stop after eating so much food. Percy put

on his goggles and activated his helmet before he took off in a blur of

speed racing towards the highway. He quickly got on it and zooming

through Ohio.

Soon Percy percy passed out of Ohio and into Illinois. He kept on

running eventually going through the outskirts of Chicago before

eventually running into IOWA.

+2 for Vit!

Percy had now reached the two hour mark and he knew his journey

was only halfway complete. The running was okay, his pants weren't on

fire any more and his tank was still feeling full. The only problem is that

IT WAS SO FUCKING BORING!

Percy didn't know why he hadn't realised this before, while he was

running his body may have been working but his mind was free! He

tried to read a book, but he was going so fast he couldn't hold on to it,

plus he did need his eyes to see the oncoming traffic so that he could

avoid it.

Percy was in a rut, he realised he should have planned this out better.

Maybe he should just take a train when coming back, this boredom

would probably kill him if he ever tried this again.

Percy eventually came into Nebraska and then Colorado finishing up

the three hour mark. Percy could feel his pants start to heat up again,

but it was warm, not flaming hot. The shoes however were holding up

nicely and didn't even heat up, in fact his feet were extremely cool

thanks to the enchantments inside.

Percy eventually entered Utah when he started to feel hungry again, it

seemed his maximum stamina got him around 876 miles at his top

speed, not bad for demigod. He got off the highway again and went to

the closest town with a Macdonalds. He stopped near the parking,

deactivated his helmet and went in. He expected the place to be empty,

but this time though it was around 9 am and the place was packed with

people. Percy couldn't risk eating as he did before, to many people.

Chapter 329

Percy quickly placed an order for 10 big macs, 2 large cokes and 4

fries, to go. The man behind the counter looked strangely at Percy, but

gave him his food anyway thinking it was for a group of people and not

just Percy alone.

Percy then quickly left the restaurant and went to the local park to eat.

Just as he had opened his first burger to eat something happened. A

feeling washed over him, the scent of pine and lilacs filled the air as a

voice rumbled out;

"Go to the forest Perseus, you are needed."

Percy blinked, the voice sounded old, older than any normal mortal, it

sounded so full of life and powerful. It had stopped but it was replaced

by pull Percy felt directing him towards the woods outside of town.

Percy put away his food and ran towards where the feeling had

directed him.

You have entered a forest!

+5 to all stats!

"Let go of me!" A voice cried out from deeper inside the woods.

'Somebody needs my help,' Percy thought as slowly the feeling that

guided him so far slipped away leaving him confused as to where to

go. But just then;

"Get off!"

'There!' Percy ran in the general direction of the shout and went deeper

into the woods. Soon he came upon a pair of boys were ganging up on

another kid and beating the shit out of him. They didn't look like they

were more than 12 and the kid they were picking on was 10.

Percy sighed and quickly grabbed the two boys by the collar and threw

them aside, "enough."

The bigger boy, Justin, quickly got up, "who the hell are you?!"

Percy narrowed his eyes, "someone you don't want to mess with kid."

"You don't look that tough!" Justin growled out, "get him!" He cried out

as his friend and him charged Percy with their fists flying.

Percy sighed and let them hit him. They punched him across the face

and hit him in the gut, but nothing they did even phased Percy.

Defence- 123, 979

Percy raised an eyebrow, they had managed to collectively cause him

1 single point of damage.

Soon Justin and his friend fell to the ground panting, their knuckles

were bloody and they were exhausted.

"What the hell are you!?" Justin asked as he and his friend slowly

backed away holding their fists in pain.

Percy smiled a cruel smile, "I'm a demon."

With just that tiny use of blood lust Percy managed to scare off both

kids making them run away screaming. Percy sighed and turned

around to the little 10 year old, the kid had a bruised face and cut lip,

but he looked up to Percy with amazement in his eyes.

"You okay kid?" Percy asked helping the kid up..

"I-I'm fine," the kid saying as he patted himself down, "t-thanks. My

cousins don't exactly know how to hold back."

Percy raised his eyebrows in surprise, "your cousins did this to you?"

The boy nodded, "yeah, they don't really like me."

Percy then noticed the boy's name and title;

Percy Decker, Son of Pan

Lv- 2

Percy's eyes shot open in surprise, 'Pan?! As in the missing God Pan?!

This kid is Pan's son?! And his name is Percy too?!' Percy scrutinized

the kid and looked at him closely, his jawline was very narrowed, kind

of like Grover's. His hair was brown like dirt and over all he seemed

very normal looking. But the moment Percy looked at the kid's sky blue

eyes, he knew he was a demigod.

"Kid….where's your dad?" Percy asked wondering whether the kid

would have any clue as to where Pan was.

"I-I don't know," he looked down in shame, "He wasn't really around

when..."

"Okay," Percy said, the kid looked depressed just talking about his dad,

Percy didn't want him to feel worse by interrogating him. "Tell me

where's your mom?"

"She died," he again looked sad beyond belief, "I live with my aunt and

uncle now."

"I see..." Percy said before going into deep thought, 'okay what do I do

now? He's a demigod, I have to bring him to camp or else he might end

up monster food. And what's more he's Pan's kid, the Satyrs will treat

him like a king, plus if I bring him in Grover just might forgive me for

leaving him.'

PErcy turned to...eh, Percy, "hey kid, what's your name?" He asked, he

knew the name already but he didn't want to freak the kid out by telling

him he knew his name before he even introduced himself.

"P-Percy, my name if Percy Decker."

The son of Poseidon smiled widely, "no way! My name is Percy too!"

"Really?!" The kid asked in amazement, "that's so cool!"

"Percys for the win!" Percy said giving the little kid a high five.

"Thanks for saving my life big Percy!"

"No problem little Percy," the son of Poseidon smiled, 'the kid's alright.'

Just then little Percy's stomach started to grumble in hunger, "didn't

eat?"

The boy shook his head, "no, I kind of skipped out on breakfast."

Percy smiled as he pulled out his bag of burgers and fries, "want

some?"

The child of Pan's eyes went wide in amazement, "woah! Where did

you pull that out from?!"

Percy winked, "trade secret kid," he took out a burger and handed it to

the 10 year old, "now eat."

Little Percy smelt the burger and a look of disgust went over his face.

But he took the burger and gave out a weary thanks in response.

Percy raised an eyebrow, "wait you don't like meat?"

The kid looked nervous, "yeah, I don't really eat meat."

"Then why did you take the burger?"

"Well you offered it, and you did kind of save my life there. So I thought

it would be rude if I said no."

Percy blinked in surprise, 'oh yeah, son of Satyr, figures he's a

vegetarian.' Percy then laughed out loud, "wait, you thought it would be

rude? Kid you're hilarious!"

"Hey! I was just being nice!"

"Dude if you don't want meat just say so," Percy said as he took back

the burger and gave the little kid a large french fry, "here, it's may not

be the healthiest eating choice but it isn't meat."

Little Percy's eyes widened comically as he snacthed the fries and

began gulping them down in the hand fulls. Percy chuckled and the two

sat down in the forest enjoying their meals. Percy Decker had eaten

around two large fries before he was full and Percy Jackson had eaten

everything else.

"Wow Percy, you sure can eat," Pan's son said, "I have never seen

someone eat that much."

The son of Poseidon smiled, "why thank you Percy, it's a blessing from

the gods, well actually the Fates but that's not important."

The kid looked confused but shrugged as the two fell into a

comfortable silence.

"So tell me something about yourself kid," Percy asked finally. He

needed to know about the kids life here, if the kid was happy then he

could talk to his aunt and simply tell her to send little Percy to camp for

safe keeping, if not, well Percy could always just kidnap him.

"Ah, well I suppose it started when my mom died," little Percy said with

a low tone, "I don't actually remember her, I was like 5 when it

happened. She was nice though, from what I remember. Ever since

then I lived with my aunt and uncle, they're alright, I guess, but my

cousins are the worst."
