Chapter 2.
Percy wiped the sweat from his brow as he gazed at the new camp recruits. They were mostly consisted of Hermes and Aphrodite's children. "Percy!" Annabeth called as she ran towards him and the newbie group. "Oh hey!" He waved happily and broke away from the younger group to meet her halfway. "Where did you go? I had to take care of all of this by myself." He grumbled. She huffed but had a playful smile on her face. "You really do have seaweeds for brains. You owe me for ditching me for the past two days." That made Percy look sheepish. "Right, Right." He then looked at the group. "But where did you go? You ran off suddenly…" "Oh well...I went to see my mom.." He raised his eyebrows. "You...didn't…" Annabeth scoffed. "She isn't the goddess of wisdom for nothing Perce." Percy paled dramatically. "No, no! She hates me Annabeth. You know, Poseidon and Athena, mortal enemies?" Annabeth nodded. "Yeah, Yeah i know, but she might help…."
It was Percy's turn to scoff. "Yeah, thats just as likely as you getting over your dislike for horses." The blonde pouted angrily. "It's Genetic! Horses don't like Athena-" She gestured her hand down herself. "I'm the spawn of Athena!" the teen just laughed and waved his hand. "Yeah, Yeah~ Come on! I gotta show the rest of the newbies there cabins!"
It was an hour later when Percy sat by his favorite spot by the lake that he noticed something strange. As he spoke to his father, the usual soothing ripples were rougher, as if the god himself was agitated, which sent Percy on high alert. "Hey Perce~" Percy yelped like a puppy tripping over its own paws and he swiftly turned, fumbling with his pen. "Tsk! You're so late, you could've been dead! Oh well~" It was Aphrodite! What was she doing here? The lake became more disturbed as the water became restless. "Oh Percy it's been awhile hmm? I've missed you~" Percy, still on high alert, but more relaxed, stood to the blonde woman's shoulders. "Why are you here Lady Aphrodite?" But the blonde woman just shook her hand. "Stop with the formalities, you saved my butt way to many times to be doing that." She murmured softly. Percy grimaced. "I know but still…" She however ignored him and began walking ahead. "Follow me~" She hummed delightfully. Percy, dizzy with all the sudden emotion changes, followed blindly. The lake water behind him rippling madly.
The demi-god followed the Goddess of love into the dense underbrush of the green forest, which made him very weary. However, if he refused, it could anger the goddess for as long as he'd live, which meant his love life was screwed three ways from sideways. So with reluctant steps he followed her. "Um, Lady-" She gave him a glare which made him rephrase his words. "Ap-Aphrodite...where are we going exactly?" She stopped before giving a bell of laughter. "Eh? I must've forgot to explain it." She turned and bent over slightly to meet his eye level. "We're going to Olympus." Percy paled. "O-Olympus? U-Uh why?" "Well why not?" She replied with a confused tilt to her head. 'Well for starters I don't want to die by a bolt of lightning.' However he spoke out loud: "I..rather not anger Zeus more than i already have…" He muttered. "Oh he's just a big fuddy duddy-" A rumbling thunder had Aphrodite glaring at the sky. "Anyways, he's only mad because you didn't accept his gift of god-hood. It was very rude you know, even for the sake of 'love'." She stated easily. "Eh….But…." He didn't have an answer and looked down. "Come on, time is wasting~" She hummed. Percy hesitated but then followed. "Does Mr.D Know?" "Yes...of course." She smiled. "Now come on~"
As soon as Percy had stepped foot upon Olympus Aphrodite dragged him everywhere. Percy didn't specifically know if it was because she wanted to get to their destination quickly, or Because Zeus was after them. However, either way, by the time the pair reached bronze doors, Aphrodite was panting. "Okay, i'll come here first next time." She mumbled, pushing open the doors. Percy followed suit but stopped dead. "Hey hun~" Aphrodite said cheerfully to the large muscled man sitting at a wooden desk in the corner of the room. The room itself was plain with a dark glow, The only illumination coming from a large(literally from the ground to halfway to the roof, large) Fire place in the center. No wonder, the poor teen was baking. A grunt was heard and an angry face that belonged to Hephaestus showed. "What do you want?" He growled out. The blonde goddess, unfazed, smiled cheerfully and pushed Percy forward. "I got you a new apprentice!~" She hummed. The man had an unamused expression and turned abruptly. "Stop joking woman. Get out." The harsh tone left no room for argument, but Aphrodite pushed on. "I always hear that you were looking for one, so-" She pushed the demi-god closer to the center of the room before snapping her fingers. "Good luck!" She winked before leaving in a flash of light and glitter. 'So showy..." Percy thought, suddenly shy. He kept his head down, even when the black smith was glaring intensely at him. A few minutes of uncomfortable silence ensued before the elder groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Come here." He ordered.
Percy looked up and nodded, walking slowly. The elder snorted and glared. "Hurry up. If you're going to be my apprentice then act like one!" The last few words was an annoyed bark, causing the green eyed male to hurry towards the blacksmith.
What did he get himself into?
