A.N I decided to make a Leo/Lyric fanfic… for those who are new to my fanfics. Lyric is a character that I invented to go along with the PJO fanfics I make. Sadly, I only own her not the rest of the PJO or HoO characters. In this one Leo is her love interest. Because I felt Leo need love too.

Enjoy!

Leo

Well besides all the absolute terror. It was a pretty eventful day. Get attacked by storm sprits, crash a chariot in a canoe lake, find out your not only a half-blood, but a child of Hephaestus.

Yup, today was pretty eventful.

Now we've been assigned a quest to go find Queen Hera and take her out a cage or dog crate or something. We were about to leave when Annabeth came running up the hill after us.

"Wait!" she screamed as she caught up to us "What are you doing?"

"Trying to leave for a do-or-die quest, you?" I say to her. She looked at me and just scoffed.

"I know. Look, someone else is supposed to go with you guys and it can't be me; I'm staying here to look for Percy. But I know someone who can help" she then pushed by Jason and got in the car. "Are you guys going to get in?"

We all then filed into the car, while Annabeth told Argus (A.N I think that was his name, Let me know if I'm wrong)

"Take us to Zapata's, please?"

I initially thought it was a shoemaker place or something. Considering, "Zapata" meant "Shoe" in Spanish. But it was just a Hispanic Restaurant. We walked in and got a table, Annabeth asked one of the waitresses if they could see Lyric. "She's about to perform I'll tell her you want her when she's done.

We sat there talking for 5 minutes when the lights dimmed, and music began to play. We saw 2 single spotlights come down. One fell on the band that was playing the music, the other one fell one probably the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

She had Jet-black hair that curled around hair face and flowed down her back. Her sea green eyes glinted with excitement as she danced and twirled and kicked. I was watching her enthusiastically, like I was waiting to see what would happen next, and she never ceased to surprise me. I heard Annabeth laugh a little in the corner. "What's funny?" I asked her.

"It's just that, her dance moves looks like the way she fights" she said "It's kinda ironic how what's supposed to be art is the way she killed a Hyperborean Giant" Children of Athena, and their overly complicated jokes no one gets.

By the time I looked back up, "Lyric" was finished, she was in a full split and her hands were in the air while she circled her wrist so the bells around them ringed and then the curtains closed.

"Who was that?"

"That was Lyric, Daughter of Poseidon"

"So she's Percy's sister?"

"Godly side? Well yes, it's Percy, Tyson and her"

"Oh"

At that moment, I saw someone burst though the doors of the back of the restaurant and walk toward our table. It was Lyric, but instead of the long red skirt and bells she had her camp shirt on and skinny jeans. Her long black hair was in a ponytail tied back with 2 blue clips and a red flower.

"Annabeth!" she ran toward our table "Have you heard from Percy?"

"Wow it's nice to see you too. No, we haven't found him yet"

I saw her face sink and immediately wanted to hug her but then I realized that would be weird, me being a stranger and all.

"So, who are these people?"

"Jason, Son of Jupiter. Piper, Daughter of Aphrodite, And Leo, Son of—"

"Hephaestus!" I hear Lyric burst out. I look at her and she's grinning wildly. She turns to me "I'm right. Right?"

I try to say something but no words come out so I just nod.

This girl has literally left me speechless… I think to myself.

"So you can make weapons and stuff. Right?"

"Yea, I guess" I finally manage to squeak out

"NO!" Annabeth says, "No more weapons, Lyric. You already have like 5 in your hair!"

"Correction there's only 3 in my hair. The other 2 are in my boots"

"That's an unnecessary amount"

"You always need a back up. At least that's what you taught me" Lyric said nudging Annabeth.

"I hate you" Annabeth said back

"So, as much as I love your company, why are you here?"

"We need you for a quest" I blurt out. She studies me for a moment and then turns to the others and sighs

"So where do we start?"

"Back at camp" I say "I need to get Festus"
