Percy definitely could not win the current fight, definitely not. He was coughing horribly and when he lost his breath it took a long time to catch it. But for some reason, somehow a gorgon had gotten into the camp.
'Probably a stupid first year playing what they thought was a joke.'
Percy thought this as he tried to send the cursed gorgon back to Tartarus. Though he kept getting slower, and slower, and he didn't have any backup. It was the middle of the night, so everyone was asleep, unfortunately.
Finally the Gorgon had pushed Percy down and Percy thought,
'Yeah. This is the end.'
Then suddenly a voice came from the beach, that sounded oddly like his father's.
"Get away from my son!"
Percy watched as his father appeared, almost out of nowhere, and killed the Gorgon almost immediately. Percy then realized just how tired he really was, laying on the ground, and wanted to sleep, but felt he should stay awake. His attempts to stay conscious fell though and he fell asleep in a matter of seconds. When he woke up he was in a comfortable bed, his eyes focused more and he realized someone was standing over him. Paul? No he didn't know where camp was and couldn't find it, seeing as he was a mortal. 'Wait a second,' Percy thought, he realized Poseidon, his father was standing over him. He then realized he wasn't even at camp.
When Poseidon has realized his son was in trouble he knew had to help. He knew pretty well that if Zeus found out he had helped Percy, Zeus would probably attempt to strangle his older brother. Once Poseidon had defeated the gorgon, he realized Percy was asleep. He had hoped that he was not dead, but he relaxed upon hearing a sniff. Poseidon had carried his son back to Atlantis. He put Percy in a room he had built for him when he had rebuilt his underwater palace. Poseidon waited for Percy to wake up next to his bed. He was about to get up to leave when he saw Percy's sea green eyes flutter open, he asked hoarsely,
"Dad?" To which Poseidon replied,
"Yes, Perseus?"
"What is going on?" The demigod asked.
"You looked as if you needed assistance, so I did so. You fell asleep soon and I brought you to my kingdom."
"Oh."
"I believe that you are sick?"
"You-" Percy interrupted himself with a cough. "think?" Poseidon was somewhat upset to see his son like this.
"I've asked Apollo to come see you tomorrow."
"O-" He coughed again. "kay."
"I need to contact Chiron and tell him not to worry about you, and that you'll be staying with me for a short period of time."
"Mkay..." Came the tired response. Soon after, Percy had fallen asleep.
