Chapter 3 Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn felt, no, she knew that Percy knew who his parent was. He reminded her painfully of Jason. His abs, their biceps, their strength, they were both defiant, confident, curios and heroic. Though, so different. Percy had deep green eyes and jet-black hair with one grey streak. What caused it? She didn't know. It couldn't be his age. He probably had a very stressed and hard life. Of course, no half-blood had a good life, but they had to have some joy in life. She'd ask have to him questions. She remembered his deep sea green eyes, and looking into them, Percy looked clueless. He was definitely strong. She didn't know how he got the chains off in the lake, or how he didn't seem hurt by the stones. Was it his godly parent? Did he even have a girlfriend? She felt sorry for that girl. Gwendolyn pushed the thought away. She wasn't allowed to feel sympathetic here at camp. Gwendolyn didn't want to sleep. She didn't want dreams. They weren't just dreams. They were messages from the gods, or a vision of someone's past, future or present. But she fell asleep anyway.

Gwendolyn was walking through a forest. She saw groups of kids wearing Greek battle armour fighting each other. She went to the creek. She saw a twelve year old boy with jet-black hair. She realized with a start that it was Percy. He was fighting off some of the older kids. They were pulverizing him. Then, as soon as he fell into the water, his wounds healed and he beat up the older kids and broke a girl's spear. In the background she heard cheering and saw a boy, with salt and pepper hair, about eighteen, waving a flag in the air. The girl looked back at Percy and growled. Then a blonde girl shimmered into view. Percy looked like he was mad at her. Then she looked at his arm and asked a question. He answered. A centaur,with the bottom half of a white stallion, and where the neck should've been, was a man, waist up, with a brown shaggy beard and hair, came trotting up to them. The girl said something, then pulled Percy out from the water. He collapsed and the girl caught him and put him back into the water. A blue trident shimmered above Percy's head. The crowd looked astonished, looking at the fading shape. Percy looked up and saw it. The crowd bowed. Gwendolyn woke up with a start. It was sun rise, time to get up.

Gwendolyn ran to find Lupa. She found her at the wolf house.

"I...know...Percy's...parent..." she wheezed. She told Lupa all about her dream.

"I see. Percy has been claimed then. We will put Percy in the Neptune cabin. I know nothing about the place you described, but there are definitely more demigods there. We will have to find it and give them proper training. Go find Percy and tell him to move to the cabin with the horse,the Neptune cabin."

Gwendolyn found Percy with Dakota and a few of the Bacchus kids. They all had purple eyes, and weren't the skinniest campers either. She saw Samantha, whom everyone called Sam, who was thirteen years old and had burgundy coloured hair. Nicholas was also there. He was ten years old and black hair that looked purple.

"Sup guys?" even though she was the daughter of Mars, Gwendolyn wasn't as aggressive as her siblings, and she was able to socialize more than them.

"Hey Gwen, don't you think Percy's parent is Venus, goddess of beauty?" Sam asked. Percy blushed.

"No, his dad's Neptune, god of the seas," Dakota, Sam and Nick looked dumbfounded. Percy just looked confused.

"No my dad's Poseidon," Percy said.

"That's the Greek name of Neptune. You would do well to only use the Roman names for the gods," Dakota warned him.

"Lupa wants you to pack your stuff into the cabin with the horse on the door, Neptune's cabin," Percy went to move his stuff.

"I think he's stressed,"Sam said. Way to state the obvious.

They trained all day, at the mini coliseum, had Latin, had lunch and went back to training, but they didn't see Percy. They looked everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. They checked the toilets, the showers, snuck out of camp and looked all over the forest, in the trees, went to the small beach at the edge of the forest, searched in the water. It really wasn't too big, it was just a really deep, saltwater lake. He was probably down deep. They headed back to camp, without being noticed. Apparently, nobody noticed their absence. They finally found Percy. Gwendolyn, Dakota, Nick and Sam found Percy sitting on his bed looking confused, his head in his hand staring into space, his face scrunched up and twirling a twig in his fingers.

"What's the matter Percy?" Dakota asked sitting next to him.

"I can't remember a thing. I mean seriously. I can't remember my childhood, my family, my friends, my enemies or even my life."

"There might be something in your pocket that reminds you of something,"Sam suggested. They went to the desk and Percy emptied his pockets. A tissue, a key, probably for his house or apartment,a photo of the girl Gwendolyn saw in her dream, older, kissing a happy Percy on the cheek in the front, and some other kids and fauns behind him. The same centaur from her dream was also standing on the side, while on the other side, a porky man with a red nose, huge watery eyes, curly hair so black it almost looked purple. What he wore was bizarre. A tiger patterned Hawaiian shirt, purple socks and a light burgundy coloured shorts. He looked suspiciously like Bacchus. The kids and fauns were all wearing the same shirt. She couldn't tell what was written on the shirts because the picture was too small, and a disposable ballpoint pen. Percy picked up the photo. He looked at it, his brows scrunching together, trying to remember. Dakota picked up the pen.

"What the heck does this say? It's not English or Latin," Percy took the pen from him and looked at the word.

"Anaklusmos"

"And that translates to?"

"Riptide"

"How did you know that?" Gwendolyn asked. Percy shifted on his feet

"I-I don't know."

"It's almost supper, we better get back to our cabins or we'll miss it," Nick warned. She headed back to her cabin. Second row from the top, First one from the left.
