Chapter 4:
Hermes walked around Olympus before going to work once again. As he walked into the Throne Room he spotted Hestia sighing at the hearth.
"What's wrong Hestia?" Hermes asked as he walked over to her.
She sighed, "Another demigod child lost the hope of being saved from their abuse of their parents, why does Zeus forbid us from interacting with demigods?! It's not fair!"
"You look really stressed, why don't you get a massage to relax or something." Hermes suggested.
Hestia eyed him warily, "I doubt you can even get a simple massage in Hermes."
Hermes started to laugh, "Not me! I meant Percy! He treated me with a massage for me to relax and now I feel great!"
"Percy can massage?" Hestia asked with her eyebrows knitted.
"He's the best!" Hermes exclaimed before calming down, "Hestia, you have so much stress on you, ask him for a massage and relax some."
"Very well," Hestia sighed as she stood up and dusted herself, "I will go asked Percy Jackson to give me a massage you so highly speak of."
"Take care Hestia! I gotta do work now!" Hermes said before disappearing in a flash of bright light.
Hestia disappeared and reappeared at Thalia's Tree, shocking some campers in the process. Chiron trotted over and bowed and the others followed the gesture quickly.
"Lady Hestia, why do give us a visit." Chiron exclaimed.
"I need to see Percy Jackson, is he here." Hestia asked.
"Well, Percy has barricaded himself in his cabin for some reason and no matter what we do, we can't get in." Chiron sweatdropped.
Hestia sighed, "I'll go visit him and see if I can go in."
"Are you guys are talking about me?" Percy's voice asked and everyone turned to Percy who had his hair ruffled and clothes were slightly off and dirty, his face was pale and he had dark bags under his eyes.
"Percy!" Chiron exclaimed, "What's wrong boy?"
Hestia looked at Percy in concern when she took in his appearance. Percy noticed their concern looks but just gave them a lopsided grin.
"So did you need something Hestia?" Percy asked.
"Hermes wanted you to give me a massage but I don't have to have you do it." Hestia said.
Percy quickly frowned but grinned once again, "Don't worry! I got time for a massage, I already cleaned up too, so come on over."
Hestia nodded uncertainly and Percy flashed Chiron a peace sign showing him that he's ok which made Chiron sigh relieved.
"So Hermes told you huh?" Percy asked carelessly.
"He said you give the best massages though I doubt he went to many massages." Hestia teased.
"I bet not." Percy laughed.
"So how do you know how to massage that would have a god praise you." Hestia asked in amusement.
"Oh, does that mean I can massage a monster to death if Ares approves?" Percy exclaimed.
"That would not be the way I would kill a monster." Hestia commented but with a grin.
"I guess not." Percy deflated before popping up again when they were in front of Poseidon's cabin.
"Let's go in shall we?" he grinned as he took out a container, poured out two pills and swallowed them.
"Percy, what was that." Hestia asked.
"Oh, it was my medicine, I got this really bad case of the cough and I hate the liquid medicine so I resorted to pills, don't worry, I'm not doing anything bad. I have to take it every 6 hours." Percy said.
"Very well, I trust you Percy, let's go in then." Hestia nodded in acceptance.
"Ok, let's go in." Percy agreed, unaware of the fact Annabeth was watching them.
