Percy's Pov
Its been five months since Gaea and her army was defeated. All of Percy's friends settled down to enjoy their lives. Leo arrived with Calypso in one after a week after the battle was over. Everyone was more than happy to see him alive. The new couple opened a mechanic store in New York and visit the camp at least twice twice a month.
Jason being the Pontifex Maximus travel alot between the camps.
Frank is now a full praetor along Reyna. His relationship with Hazel has we can say improved with time. Now there is very less awkwardness tho.
Even Nico seems splendid. He has gained some pounds thanks to Will who forces him to eat a lot and take part in camp activities.
Percy was having the best time of his life with Annabeth in New York. if i forgot to tell tell, they are in the same Class and Percy is trying his best to keep with with her.
Everything thing was going well until one day Percy's doorbell rang. Well Half-Bloods don't look for trouble, trouble finds them sooner or later.
Percy was doing his homework (he still prefer fighting monsters than doing homework) so his mother went to answer it.
"Percy", she shouted from the door, "Someone is here to see you, he says its urgent". Percy rushed to the door and came face to face with the god of messenger.
"Hello Percy", he smiled although Percy could see the uneasiness in his eyes.
"Umm Hi Hermes, How its going?"
"Its been better", he replied with honesty. "Listen, Lord Zeus has sent me to get you so say bye to your mom"
Percy swallows. "Whats wrong?"
Hermes shifted uneasily. "look its supposed to be secret so i can't tell you now. Zeus wants an audience and thats all you have to know. Now hurry please we don't have much time."
"Okay let me inform my mom about it. Wait here i will be back in a minute", Percy mumbled and closes the door behing him.
After promising his mother to come back as fast as possible Percy allowed Hermes to teleport them to Olympus.
On entering the throne room Percy knelt infront of Zeus and kept silent.
"Rise boy". Zeus thundered.
"Uncle, you demanded an audience with me?" After encountering with wrath of gods Percy learnt how to address someone who can zap you with a trillion volts of pure electricity if annoyed.
"Indeed, I have quite a difficult task to trust you with. I want you to do something for me"
"Anything for you My lord", luckily his majesty couldn't detect the sarcasm. "But i think there are many who can do your task better than me".
"Ancient laws forbid gods to interact directly with the mortals and their business. Only a half-blood can do it. There are some who can be added in the list but you the best of them"
"And why is that?", Percy asked in utter confusion.
Zeus ignored his question. "There are some half-bloods wandering aimlessly in the country. They are the survivors of the titan war and were on the side of the titans. Now some turned gods are whispering evil into their ears and turning them against us, if this happened they will attack camp with their forces. You have to persuade them to to join you and bring them to Camp Half-blood safely."
"Shouldn't i consult oracle for a prophecy or something?"
"No, the camp must not know about the half Bloods. This is a secret mission, you can inform no one about it. About that oracle, this is not a quest so you don't need a prophecy ".
"Great", Percy mumbled. "This is gonna be fun".
"They are near Seattle as we speak", Zeus informed. "15 in numbers. Hermes will teleport you there and from onward you are on your own. try to get them and yourself into trouble and get to camp safely. Thats all you need to know." Zues snapped his finger and Hermes arrived on cue.
As Hermes took Percy's hand to teleport him to Seattle Zeus voice echoed in his mind "Do not fail me child"
