Chapter One

I find out an unwanted secret

Percy POV

I'm walking away from the lake where I just swam. I got to my cabin and change my clothes. I'm walking to the pavilion since it's time for dinner. Before I get there, Hermes flashes in front of me and says,

"You are to go to Olympus tomorrow morning."

"Why?" I ask.

"That information is classified, you will be told why tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I guess I'll be there, for whatever it is."

"Good" Hermes then flashes away.

'Okay….that was weird' I thought

I walk to the pavilion and get my food. I sacrifice a portion to my dad. I eat my food while wondering why the gods called me up. After dinner, while others went to the campfire, I went to tell Chiron about tomorrow. Once I get there, I hear him talk to someone about something. I decide to eavesdrop-er-listen in on their conversation.

"Who are you taking tomorrow Lord Hermes?" Chiron asks

'Ah, so he's talking to Hermes'

"Percy Jackson, Chiron"

'So they're talking about me. Huh, I wonder what about' I continue listening.

"If I may ask, why him?" Chiron asks.

"Well, we are going to ask him again if he wants to become a god." Hermes explains.

"You do know he will refuse, don't you?"

"Yes, but if he refuses this time, we'll force him to become a god. You must not tell him we had this conversation."

"Of course, I will not tell him Lord Hermes."

'No need Chiron, I already know' I think to myself.

"Good"

And with that, he flashes out and I run back to my cabin to pack what I'll need for my escape and survival.

An enchanted backpack that will never become full and weigh as light as a pillow, Riptide, two water bottles, one filled with water and one filled with nectar, a gallon bag full of ambrosia, my wallet that contains $250 worth of mortal money and the Lotus Casino Card that I got on my first quest, a pouch full of drachmas, a hoodie enchanted by the Hecate Cabin that will hide my face, and a hunting knife given to me by Ares as a present for saving Olympus.

I write a letter to Olympus addressed to the Olympians saying that I refuse to become a god and I put at the end, "…..and catch me if you can." The letter flies up and poofs and says it should be delivered in 10 hours, around the time I'm supposed to meet the Olympians.

I run out of my cabin and tell Chiron I overheard his conversation with Hermes and that I'm leaving camp. He nods sadly as I finish my story.

Before I leave, he says goodbye and hands me a pair of sunglasses that give me night vision. I thanked him and raced up the hill. I say goodbye to Peleus and touch Thalia's pine tree knowing that I can never return.

I then run down the hill and into the woods doing the impossible:

Running away from the gods.
