The summer had been quiet since the war ended. Almost too quiet and being that I'm a half blood that's unusual. Not that I'm complaining, I mean hey usually its monsters left and right and mayhem all the time. I was really enjoying all the quiet time. Especially since it allowed me to spend more time with my wonderful girlfriend Annabeth Chase as she is overseeing the remodeling of Olympus, However this is me so I knew it wouldn't last and I had a funny feeling about today.

So there I was sitting in my living room watching a friends rerun with not a care in the world and suddenly the door clicked. My mom wasn't supposed to be back for another few hours because she was out with Paul. Naturally my hand went straight to my lethal ballpoint pen Riptide. Then the door flew open with a BANG and four fully grown Dracaena were barreling over the threshold in full battle armor with weapons drawn. I knew this would be no challenge but I was caught off guard when the first yelled "For Kronos!" and charged. She stabbed me right in the chest however I had 'luckily I might add' bathed in the River Styx and I am therefore invulnerable. I slashed dodged and rolled until they were all dust but I knew I had to get going. So I scrawled a short note to my mom explaining that I had to leave for camp immediately and rushed to pack my things and run downstairs.

Once on the street I summoned the gray sisters' taxi and told them to get me to Olympus on the double. A few bickering fights and one eyeball to the face later stood on the ground floor of the empire state building. I went up to the guard at the desk and said "600th floor please" he knew who I was and let me up. I knew who I had to see….my dad and my girl, Annabeth. There was, as usual, some outdated disco tune playing on the way up. And when the doors opened I saw it or what was left….the ruins of Olympus and the newer brighter buildings that Annabeth had designed.

I started walking towards one of the newest palaces, the one to my father, Poseidon. It was made of pure emerald with inlaid sapphires to make it sparkle like the sea itself. I walked right up to the doors and didn't have to knock because he must have known I was here. And sure enough there he was in his T-shirt and Bermuda shorts wearing that big smile like always.

"Percy" he said "you seem to be keeping busy even with the titan lord gone…"

"Well you know me, with my ADHD I can't keep still" I said back.

He smiled and gestured towards the inside of the palace "Please, come inside son. That brilliant girlfriend of yours even designed a room for you in this stunning new palace" And with that we walked inside and I felt like I was back to not having a care in the world.
