Disclaimer- I do not own Percy Jackson and my cousin gave me this idea.
Sorry, no one gets props for the quote. It was from the Labyrinth.
Tonight was our homecoming football game and tomorrow night is homecoming. I'm excited.
Chapter 4- Surprise
Percy's pov
Reyna left before I was done getting ready. I still couldn't wrap my head around what I saw in my dream. I wanted to ask Lupa but I wasn't sure even she would know.
I walked to the dining pavilion, got my food, gave some to the gods, and sat down at the Neptune table. The whole time I was there neither Reyna nor Lupa showed up, and on top of that, my dream kept bugging me. After breakfast I went to the Mercury tent to find Luca. I thought maybe he would know where Lupa was.
"Luca?" I said.
"Hold on, be right there," he replied.
When he came out he was wearing full body armor. He was about to go to the arena for sword practice.
"Hey Percy, what do you need?" Luca asked.
"Do you know where Lupa is? I need to ask her a question." I said.
"I think she's in the big tent," he stated.
"Thanks."
I left the Mercury tent and made my way to the big tent when I heard voices inside.
"If my birth name isn't really Reyna Jameson then what is it? I have a right to know."
"Reyna, calm down. Start from the beginning. What exactly happened in your dream?"
I heard Reyna cite exactly what my dream was.
"What does it mean Lupa? Who am I really?"
"Reyna, I swore to the River Styx I would never answer that question. With certain knowledge comes certain danger.
"What are you hiding from me? Why wont you tell me who I really am?"
"I had the same dream," I interrupted.
"Perseus, it is rude to interrupt. you will do better to learn your manners." Lupa said baring her teeth.
"I'm sorry, but with all do respect, I had a similar question. Sally, why does that name ring a bell? What is her connection to Reyna? What is my connection to them?"
"I don't know, maybe we owe her money." Reyna said like she was trying to make up a story that made sense instead of freaking out.
"You two will soon enough learn the answers to you questions, but now is not the time." Lupa said.
"How soon is "soon" Lupa? What is the right time? You never hide anything from me, so why this?"
"I can't tell you because the fates say it is not yet the time. Now Reyna please get going on your schedule, Perseus, follow me."
Reyna didn't look like she wanted to leave without her answers but she left anyway. I followed Lupa to a golden tent that gleamed in the sun. it was the Apollo tent.
"Jonathan come out here please." Lupa said.
I heard of Jonathan yesterday when I met hazel, Gwendolyn, and Bobby. From what I heard he didn't sound orderly.
"Yes Lupa?" said a tall lanky blonde boy with blue eyes.
"We need to get Perseus a schedule. Give him extra time for manners class, he's going to need it." Lupa said and she walked away.
"Well Perseus, I've heard a lot about you. Son of Neptune, knows the gods by their Greek names, and has a celestial bronze sword, which is not typically of any use to the Romans."
Hearing the words celestial bronze made my head hurt. It seemed so familiar yet so new. I hated not having my memory.
"How did you know all that?" I asked.
"Well my father is the god of prophesies and oracles, I adapted some different powers than my siblings did. That and gossip spreads fast." Jonathan said.
"You said your father is the god of the oracles right? Like he can see the past and future right? Do you have those capabilities?"
"I did say that and I only have a certain level of powers, but seeing small amounts of the past, present, and future."
"Well, then maybe you can help me." I said.
Sorry it's a little bit shorter. But it's late and I'm tired. Props to who can guess the movie that quote is from. Read and review please. It makes my day when I get reviews. And I just want to say that I love each and every one of my readers. If it weren't for you guys I probably wouldn't still be writing this story. Thank you.
