DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTER EXCEPT FOR THE MORTALD. EVERYTHING BELONGS TO RICK RIORDAN.
I was sitting in the chair behind the reception in the pet shop when I saw two teenagers coming. O e had big see green eyes and a messy black hair (he was hot, I must say) , while the other, a girl, had electric blue eyes. They where laughing and I couldn't help but laugh at them. They seemed so out of the world, without nothing to worry about.
As they entered, I woke up and welcomed then.
'Hi, what were you looking for?' I said.
'Hi' they said. 'She wants to talk with the birds, while me, since I'm such a cool boy want to talk with the fishes!' the green eyed boy continued with a big smile.
'Oh, shut up you Kelp Head, birds are way cooler!'
'They aren't!'
'They are!'
'Either they aren't or I'll get you a one way trip to Hades!'
'Dude, you can't. I guess your brain really has seaweed inside' the girl snapped him.
'Wait a second- I cut them off- what did you meant by talk to the birds and fishes?'
The boys eyes grew showing a little despair. 'Uhm, erh, just… nothing. I have an imaginary friend that is a fish. I think' he said a little unsure of what he had said.
'Oh, okay, you can pass' I told them. I kept listening what they were talking about.
'You Kelp Head! What's wrong with you talking about our godly parent's powers towards animals!' she murmured him. I could say the guy really looked concerned and even scared of the girl.
'Okay, I'm sorry Thalia. But I know you just get jealous when I go to the fish section…' he answered back.
'Yeah, whatever' she answered back.
As there were no birds, they went directly to the fish section and I couldn't but notice how all the fishes went directly as close as they could from the boy. I think I was kind of crazy, because he started talking to them in a weird language I had never heard and that seemed ancient, but then Thalia slapped him on his neck and told him to speak English, which he agreed.
'Look at this Pinecone Face, they want to get out of here. They want to go to the sea!' he said.
'Yeah, sure bout it Percy'
'No, really, they told me. You know what, I'm buying them all' he said.
'Oh, yeah, and how will you carry them?' she asked
'Well, I guess that's pretty obvious. With the water.'
'Perce, you know you can't do that. The mortals will notice' she said.
Wait. Mortals? What do they mean. And so, if the others are the so called mortals, what are they? I was thinking when I heard him telling:
'Well, it takes just a snap for you to control the Mist, right?'
'Yeah… what are you up to Kelp Head?
'Dunno, maybe you could do it' What on earth were they talking about and what on earth is the mist. I think they are crazy, but everything they say doesn't sound made up. I was deep on my thinking when the girl, Thalia snapped me out.
'We are taking all the fish'
'Hm, okay. Will you pay cash, credit card or business ID?' I asked
'We can let the camp pay for it, right? As a gift to Poseidon…' the guy said. So weird, a camp giving a gift to a guy named Poseidon… what kind of name was that?
'We can do so if you want to become mad after a snap of Mr. D.' the girl answered him. And now a guy that can make people mad and that his name is a letter? Well, I think I'm telling these guys we don't sell weed over here.
The guy, Percy, was about to say something when another man with beard, shorts, à Caribbean shirt and flip flops entered. He looked in amazement as he said a word that I didn't expected: Dad.
'Dad!' he said strangely. He seemed really happy and I couldn't help but smile with him. After they hugged, the girl, Thalia, bowed at him and spoke.
'It's an honor, Lord Poseidon' Well, I was thinking… What the heck? Who bows to his friend's father.
'Hi Thalia. How is my nephew Lady Artemis doing?' I thought the girl would kind of freak out and tell him he was insane and start to run, but instead she told him something quite different:
'Oh, Mylady Artemis is fine, as usual. Now, if you don't mind telling you, Lord Poseidon, there is a mortal. Should we use the Mist or give her a little amnesia?'
'Hey, just talk of me about weird things and bowing to your friend's father and giving me amnesia. No problem.' I told her angrily.
'No, Thalia. She has been lucky. If I were your father, she would be ashes. But she met the all mighty and nice god Poseidon. Let's try a different solution. Let's explain he'
The guys looked in disbelief and then said together.
'Why not? It'll be fine!'
'Well, I start' Percy said. 'I am Percy Jackson, demigod son of Poseidon, god of the seas and earthshaker, swordsman of Camp Half-Blood, beater of Ares, god of war, slayer of Kronos, Hyperion, Iapetus, Porfirium, Enceladum, Polybotes, The twin giants, Gaea, the minotaur, Medusa, retriever of the lightning bolt and the golden fleece, survivor of the sea of monsters, Dedaelus' labyrinth, survivor of Tartarus, saviour of Olympus, twice, and given down god hood twice. Hey, every time this list gets longer. I'm terrifying'
Before I could say anything Thalia said 'I am Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus, king of the gods and god of the skies and owner of the lightning bolt, slayer of Iapetus and Prime Lieutenant of Lady Artemis' hunt, along with more sweated off boys girls' she said proudly.
'What's wrong Thalia, you don't have such a cool list?' Percy asked in a mocking tone.
Then Poseidon started speaking. I kind of already knew he was the Greek god, but I still wanted proves, but I let him speak.
'And I am lord Poseidon, god of the seas and earthshaker, owner of the trident and father of heroes such as Theseus, Bellerofon and Perses Jackson' he finished smiling at his son.
'So, you are telling me greek gods aren't myths but real?'
'Yeah' Percy said.
'Prove it!' I defied them
At that moment, Percy started making all the water to float with the fishes in it, Poseidon made a trident for and materialized from water, while Thalia gave me an electric touch in my shoulder, which made me feel an awkward thing in my hole body as it shivered. The shock was long enough to make me black out. When I woke up, I told the doctor that I had had a hell of a dream he told me there were some people that wanted to see me. I thought it would be my parents, but instead I saw three familiar faces. Percy, Poseidon and Thalia. They were
