Chapter 75
"Percy? Wait what happened?" Grover asked as he looked around, "are we outside the forge?"
Percy nodded, "yeah. I managed to get you and Luke out of there in time."
"WAIT!" Grover called out and then began looking all over the place, "where is that giant snake thing?!"
Percy shrugged, "it didn't follow us out here," it was the lie he had prepared before hand, "it must only attacks those who are inside the forge."
Ping!
Lie success!
Percy smiled as Grover visibly calmed down, "okay then, that's good. But what about the chains?"
Percy frowned as he dug out the note he found inside the forge and gave it Grover, "I managed to sneak in after getting you two out here and found this in the place of the chains."
Grover read the note and then looked up at Percy with a questioning look, "who the hell is Edward Neak?"
"No idea, but he sooo on my shit list."
"So this is a bust huh?" Grover said sighing, "well at least we didn't die."
Percy nodded and then went to Luke and carried the boy over his shoulder, "for now let's head back to Boston and get the train. We might have to settle for plan B."
"What's plan B?"
"Go in, grab my mom, piss on Hades throne and then get the fuckout."
"Ahh, I think you can do the pissing thing on your own," Grover replied with a weak smile.
Percy smiled back and the two left the forest and walked back to the main road. Percy was getting a little tired carrying Luke over his shoulder but hey, great exercise. Wait did I say that already?
As soon as they reached the road Percy managed to get a cab. Percy opened the cab and tossed Luke in, causing the young man to hit his head on the door handle, "shit!" Percy called out as he and Grover then put Luke upright and finally managed to get in the car.
"Where to?" asked the cabby who was looking at them through the mirror.
"Ah, just a motel or something," Percy replied.
"Sure….you two didn't ruffy the blond kid did you?"
"Waht? NO!"
"Because if you did it would be a crime if I brought you guys to a motel. Who knows what you two might do to that kid."
"Holy shit man! We aren't going to rape Luke!" Grover exclaimed
"Actually I meant it would be a crime for me to not bring him to a hospital," the cabby replied as the situation slowly became more and more awkward.
"J-just drive," Percy replied as the cabby took off. They made it to a motel where Percy paid the man and took Luke out. Grover got them rooms and the three quickly went in and shut the door.
Inside Percy and Grover waited in silence for Luke to wake up. Grover was looking at the news while Percy was checking his inventory. He had;

Yeah he had a lot of shit. Maybe it was time to sell some on the HNI. Percy heard a groan and turned to see Luke waking up.
"Hey take it easy Luke," Percy said as he helped the boy up.
"What happened?" Luke asked as he shook his head, "did something hit me?"
"Yeah I giant robotic snake," Grover replied as he handed Luke a bottle of water.
"How are we even alive?"
"I managed to get you two out, the snake didn't follow use once we left the forge. I did however managed to sneak back in and find this," Percy then handed Luke the note from before.
Luke emptied his bottle of water and then took the note. After reading it fully he looked at Percy with a raised eyebrow, "who the fuck is Edward Neak?"
"We thought you might know," Percy replied with a shrug, "him being a son of Hermes and all."
"Hmm, I don't know who this Edward guy is but whoever he is he now has the chains," Luke replied as he rubbed his forehead, "damn I must and hit my head pretty hard."
Percy and Grover shared a look as a flashback to the cab came to mind, "yup." Percy said, "totally. You must have hit your head pretty hard."
Luke then reached into his backpack and took out a tin box. He opened it and inside was a square piece of yellow cake, kind of looked like a lemon square. Luke ate the cake and in front of Percy's eyes the bump on his head vanished and Luke became more focused as the dizziness vanished from his eyes.
"Woah!" Percy exclaimed, "what is that? Is that like a healing pill only a son of Hermes can use?"
Luke handed Percy the tin box and Percy used Observe;

Percy's eyes widened, "holy shit!"
Luke smiled, "yeah I know it smells great righ? It's called-"
"-Ambrosia," Percy replied as he inspected it again.
"Yeah that's right. You know your greek myth Percy. It has it's twin, Nectar," Luke then took out a thermostat and gave it to Percy. Percy saw inside was a golden liquid that kind of looked like caramel syrup.;

Luke then continued, "anyway I'm surprised you didn't know about this sooner. Didn't the healers feed you some when you were in the med bay?"
