132: Attractive Eyes

[Amando POV]

Percy was sent on a quest and needed help, I don't know why but he chose me to go with him... I mean, I accepted, but i wonder why he chose me? I only am polite to everyone, like Dad taught me to, I also am good at fighting with a sword and using a little bit of magic that Father taught me, but i am nothing special! However, Percy was adamant that he needed to come with him, also a blond girl who was named Annabeth, and another boy, a satyr named Grover would come along.

We left the camp and we needed to go to the Underworld, I don't know why though, they said that Granpa Hades got the stolen Symbols of Power but I know he didn't. "Why are we going to the Underworld?" I asked them, I sincerely wanted to know the real reason, they don't believe that Granpa Hades got the symbols, do they? "We are going to the Underworld to get the symbols back, and then stop a Civil War between the Gods of Olympus." I scoffed, trying to keep myself from laughing, they looked at me confused and Annabeth even looked offended! I said, defending my family: "Grandpa Hades would never do that, he wouldn't steal Zeus's Symbol of Power! He doesn't need it, I know he has problems with Zeus but going to war is something he would never do."

They stopped and looked back at me with shock... What? Did I say something wrong? Why are they all stunned? "W-what did you just called the Lord of the Underworld?" Asked the goat-guy making me just even more confused. "Grandpa...?" I said a little hesitant, why are they all with mouths agape staring at me with shock and wonder? Dad always said to not let others intimidate you, especially when you are fighting against them! This time, the son of Poseidon shouted: "H-hades is your grandfather!?"

I tilted my head sideways, Father always does that when he is confused and it makes Dad squeal at how cute it is, I find it cute too but not as much as when Cerberus does that. "Yeah?" I asked, I still am confused, I guess I have to explain it to them then: "I am the som of Aímatis and Katastrophe, Aímatis is also known as Zagreus, God of Blood, Life, Souls, Killing, and more... He is also the son of Hades and Persephone, which makes Hades my Grandfather and Persephone my Grandmother!" I smile at them, I like to talk about my family!

I observed them for a few seconds... Why are they all silent?

"That's amazing." Annabeth started, turning her head towards the bus that was arriving. Well, we were at the bus stop after we left Camp Half-Blood, Argos was a cool guy for taking us to Manhattan with the van, he left us at the Greyhound Station in the Upper East Side, Percy was looking at something but i ignored it because there was no reason to stare, he was just looking at a paper. "Where are we going anyway?" I wanted to know because i didn't, and i was very curious about their plan! Dad told me I could enter and leave the Underworld at will if I tried, but I never tried, and I think it's not a very wise idea to try it right now... Shadow Travel or something like that.

"I don't know." Said Percy, his voice uncertain just like his embarrassed expression... He looked cute, oh... Is this what Father told me about? That I would find out more about myself the moment I found someone cute or attractive? This sounds like something amazing! The goatman looked at me with a slightly embarrassed expression, his cheeks red as a tomato and his tail moving around excitedly, why does he also look cute like this? I look over at Annabeth and I poke her face, making her turn to look at me slightly annoyed that I poked her cheeks to get her attention, she looked at me and blushed. I did find it also cute, but why are they all blushing as they look at me!?

I decided to look through my endless bag, a gift my Father gave me, a bag that had no end and could store anything I put inside. I took out a pocket mirror, given by my Dad who said I must always look presentable and distracting to everyone around me, and when I looked at the mirror I frowned.

My eyes had changed again, Father had told me to just hide it because it had a hypnotizing effect on those with weak minds, it made me look more attractive to them, he said it was an accident that I got that because one of his divinities got mixed with the others when he was giving me his blessing, the Divinity of Love or something like that, but it didn't do much but make my eyes more attractive. It is normally locked away, but recently it started to grow stronger and I can't help but let it out. "Sorry," I said as I closed my eyes and focused on my eyes, and willed them inactive for now because I can't have them being distracted on my eyes, can I?

"What was that?" Asked a curious Percy, his cheeks still red as he stared back into my face, I could see his confusion as well as his curiosity. "Well, it's kinda something Father gave me by accident, I still am learning how to control that..." Soon, the bus arrived to break the awkward situation I was in, when we sat down I suddenly felt something... Monsters.

Three old women entered the bus, one with an orange hat, one with a green hat, and one with a purple hat... I instantly knew who they were... Furies.
