Chapter 2

Earth

Percy POV

Earth... Was, um let's just say... Different. Well for one, the place was eerily quiet. The loud and busy streets were now replaced with nothingness. I remember how the cars would speak with each other using a series of honks, bonks, and whatnots and how the streets would be filled with people. But that was all gone, what stood before me and my dad was something I didn't recognize. Looking over at my dad I asked him.

"Did you do this?", causing him to give me a pissed look.

"What makes you think I did this!", he exclaimed.

Replying I said, "I mean, a few minutes ago you were ranting on how the inhabitants of Earth were disrespecting you, so...".

"Ok, look it wasn't me. But I sure as hell would like to find out what really happened", he replied.

Looking over at him I gave him a nod since I too wanted to know what truly happened and so we continued on. Everywhere I looked I saw signs of desertion, whatever happened here might've caused the people to move. We saw cars parked in the middle of the roads, shops that were open but showed no signs of life, this was really weird. We then came across a Starbucks. Inside we saw different laptops and cell phones that were left behind by there previous owners, cups of coffee and different kinds of food were also spread across the establishment.

Trying to make the best of the gloomy atmosphere that was starting to set in, I looked over at my dad and asked, "You wanna get a few coffees before we continue on?".

His face said it all, as a grin started to appear on his face. As he went to create our beverages I went searching around for clues. There wasn't really any clues or signs of what happened so I headed back to check on my dad. But not before my eyes settled on something glowing that was sticking out of someone's bag. As I continued to get closer to the bag the glow started to become dimmer and dimmer until I saw a clear view of a hilt of some kind of weapon. Grabbing the bag by its strap I sat it down on top of a table. Opening the bag I grabbed the source of the glow, what shocked me was that it was a dagger preferably a dagger that was made from a creature that terrorized Ancient Greece long ago. This told me that this bag belonged to a Demi-God since they were still around till this day due to the gods still being alive. Setting the dagger aside I found a Dell Inspiron 7567 Laptop which was one pretty expensive laptop, making me think that the Demi-God that owned this bag was pretty rich. As I continued to dig around I found a wallet with three twenty dollar bills inside; along with a credit card. There were also a few golden Drachmas which were the currency that was used in Greece. I also found a comb, a lipstick, a book about architecture, and a Yankee's hat. Surprisingly I could sense some magic inside the Yankee's hat. But before I could find out what it did I heard my dad calling my name.

"Heres your Vanilla Bean, my prince", he announced out loud.

Giving him one of my death glares my hand went to reach for the cold drink. I've always loved how the people of Earth got creative with there beverages. They were so nice and sweet; while some were creamy and warm. The cold drink made me feel refresh after taking I had taken a sip. As we continued down the streets, I fiddled with the knife that was strapped to my side. The hilt was made from the bones of a Drakon with some leather holding it in place, this knife was very sturdy. The blade itself was made from a metal that was named Celestial Bronze; which was pretty deadly to the monsters that terrorized Ancient Greece in the past. As my dad and I continued to walk down the streets I caught something from the edge of my eye, blood... I wasted no time heading towards the source; there I found a body. This body was showed no mercy and as a result of that, I started to feel my anger deep down inside. My blood started to boil and my face was starting to sweat because this body in front of me was nothing but a body of a mere child. I didn't notice that my hands were clenched that my hands were turning pale until I felt my father's hand on my shoulder.

"It is ok Perseus, I shall ensure that his soul finds a home in the Isle's of the Worthy", my father tells me.

I simply nodded and kneeled before the body and whispered, "Αναπαύσου εν ειρήνη", before I closed his eyes.

Standing up, I turned to leave, but not before I was tackled on the floor by someone. I reacted fast and quickly brought my feet up to my opponent's stomach and pushed him or her over me. Causing her to yelp, wait... Her? I should make sure to not hurt her too much then. Scrambling up on my feet I quickly got into a fighting stance. With my arms raised just slightly below my eyes and my feet planted firmly on the ground, I looked at my attacker ready to fight. But not before I started to feel my cheeks heating up and my heart beating very fast. I hadn't noticed that I had been staring with my mouth wide open until she spoke.

"Close your mouth, your drooling and it's disgusting", and that was when I was knocked out.
