136: A little help

After killing Medusa, Amando looked around a little, he found every single statue that was still intact and frowned. Annabeth came from behind him and place her hand on his shoulder with a sad expression, saying: "It's sad that it happened, but we can't do anything about it, they're dead already." Amando sighed, he looked back to see Groover looking at one statue of a Satyr with wet eyes as the tears fell from his face into the ground below him, his hands trembled as he walked forward to touch the statue but was too scared to do it, maybe the statue would break down to pieces if he touched it.

Percy was still in shock as he looked at the head of Medusa, lucky him the eyes were not staring at him, or else he would have been turned to stone a while ago. "I know Anna..." Amando sighed deeply before turning his head back to the statue of the little girl in front of him. "I know..." He whispered as he touched the statue, it looked to be old because of the moss covering it too. "We are but Demigods Amando, we are half-mortal and half-god. Only a God would be able to help in this situati-" Amando's eyes turned into stars as he looked at Annabeth, who was surprised to see her friend's normally square-ish pupils turn star-shaped! "Anna, you're a genius!" Annabeth blushed slightly for being praised by Amando, who completely ignored her for a few seconds as he placed his hands together and began to furiously pray for his father or dad to come and help.

It took a minute, but soon enough, a hole appeared in space and Katastrophe walked out of the hole in all his glory- wearing a red polo shirt and black shorts with white sneakers. What? Gods also like to wear mortal clothing, okay!? "So, dear son, what do you need my help with?" Katastrophe, or should I say, Klein Áspeiros said as he crouched to get closer to his son. Amando smiled at him and pointed at the statues and asked: "Can you help them? I think they are still alive." Klein raised an eyebrow as his blue eyes stared at the statues and turned white for a second as he searched... Ah, there it was. The statue had Lifeforce, Psionic Energy, and Soul Energy, the three energies that are the basis of the human body, if you don't have all three stable then you will certainly have problems in your life.

Problems with Lifeforce can cause chronic diseases or incurable diseases, problems with Psionic can cause some mental illnesses, and problems with Soul Energy can cause even worse problems to the mortal.

"I think I can do that," Klein whispered as his hands glowed with red energy, he sent a blast of Divine Energy focusing on his [Destruction Divinity] to carefully destroy the curse that has been placed on the statues. Explanation time!

Medusa has been cursed by Athena to become a Gorgon, this horrible monster, right? So Medusa's ability marks however look at her eyes/face, that mark freezes all three energies from the body and keeps them in stasis for a long time as they slowly but surely wither away. The person turned into stone had an extra 200 years before they died for good from the whitering of first, their Lifeforce, then their Psionic, and after their Soul Energy. In the pyramid scheme, the Body is the bottom, representing the Lifeforce that holds the mind, right after the body is the Mind, in the second place of the pyramid, the Mind protects the shapes of the soul. And, in the first place is the Soul, which is the core of the being!

For you to have a soul you a consciousness, or a Mind, and for you to have a mind, you need a Body, or in some cases, you don't need a physical Body at all.

The red blast of energy hit the statue, making it crack, all the three kids (Except Amando because he trusted his Father) gasped in shock as they watched the statue break, however, to their further shock something else happened. The stone began to crack like it was a thin layer above their bodies and not their entire body turned into stone, the crack spread all over the body of the statue and soon the stone skin fell to the ground. (Imagine Doctor Stone scene where they break a statue, any statue)

Klein smiled and did the same to every single statue, the broken ones he simply controlled the stone to fix itself while using [Meta Powers: Meta Time Control (C)] to reverse time on the statue and bring back some pieces it was lacking. Thinking about it he has been neglecting his Time/Space abilities recently and they didn't improve that much... Maybe he should improve them too. Anyway, with his abilities he was successfully able to bring back all the statues to life, he had to keep them in a comatose state so he could bring them to Zagreus to take a look... Zagreus was better at medicine than he was and would ever be. He has no interest in medicine, but if he wants to be Omniscient he has to learn it...

When he was done, he looked at the four kids who seemed to be trembling, he could easily tell they had no money or had not eaten anything in some time now. He took out some money, mortal money, and gave it to Amando saying: "Take this money and go buy some food, can't have you and your friends starving can we?" He chuckled and looked between the four kids, whispering to Amando: "Also, good luck in your love life." Right before vanishing from there, leaving Amando completely, utterly confused and wondering what he meant with that.

Oh, poor thing little did he know that his love life would be very confusing.

-Scene End-

Author Note:

I'm thinking about doing a time skip after the end of the Lightning Thief and then jump to the next world...

Of course, Amando gonna stay in this world, he has his future family to take care of. Don't worry, he will visit his parents and his parent will visit him regularly.

And if you're wondering what happened between Sean and Brian, don't worry. Armageddon has them.
