Percy POV:

"Nice to meet you. Now what was that thing?" Max asked Katie being straight to the point like she always was when she was on high alert.

"Okay easy enough question to start out with. Although you might have trouble believing me. Has anyone here ever heard of the Greek gods?" Katie asked looking at each of us.

None of us had ever heard of the Greek gods, this seemed to surprise Katie.

"Okay then I guess I have to explain." And she did. She explained about how Kronos had eaten all of his kids except Zeus and the battle they fought and how there where now 12 gods. Then she went on and explained how they where still alive today, at this I was a little skeptical but I let her finish.

"So what you are telling us is that a monster that was killed thousands of years ago just attacked us?" Fang spoke sounding infuriated, I guess he didn't believe her.

"Yes it was a fury or Kindly One as we call them, they are servants of Hades the god of the underworld."

"How did it explode into dust?" Angel asked completely intrigued by the stories Katie had told us.

"It happens when you kill a monster although you can't really kill them."

This left us all confused but Fang decided we could ask about it later because he continued on to ask a different question.

"Why was it attacking Percy?" Fang asked nodding in my direction.

"The same reason anyone else is attacked by a monster. He is a demigod."

"How do we know if he is one for sure?" Max asked on high alert. Fang on the other hand wasn't as willing to believe in what Katie was telling us, and to be honest I wasn't sure I believed it either.

"If he is one my sword will be able to touch him, if he isn't the metal wil go right through him, can I try?"

"It is up to him." Max said looking at me.

I nodded to give my consent, I had to know.

Katie pulled a water bottle cap out of her pocket and squeezed it and it turned into the sword we had seen earlier. Strange, I could have sworn I had left it in the park.

I held out my left arm to Katie and she touched her sword to it. I felt the cold metal on my skin, I was a demigod.

"Wow Percy congrats you are a demigod." Gazzy said smiling.

Katie shook her head. "I don't mean to scare you Percy but the life of a demigod is never easy and never safe. Life is about to get a lot more harder from here on out."

I actually smiled at that. My life had never been easy or safe, why would it start now?

I broke out of my depressing train of thought when Max held out her arm and asked, "Can you see if the rest of us are demigods?"

Next to her Fang seemed to have given up on trying to convince us that Katie was lying and had decided on just watching her carefully.

Katie nodded and went around putting the sword to the rest of the flocks arms. It passed through every single one of their arms.

"Now that that has been sorted out Percy should go to Camp Half-blood."

"Camp Half-blood?" Angel questioned her. "What's that?"

Katie looked at Angel and smiled, Angel normally had that effect on people. "Camp Half-blood is a safe place for demigods like Percy and I."

'Can you guys come?' I thought to Angel and she voiced this.

"I don't think you will be able to get in the boarders."

"Well can we at least try? We don't like splitting up." Max explained.

"We can try but don't be disappointed if you can't get through." Then she turned to me. "Percy right?" I nodded "You are being awfully quiet do you have any questions?"

"Oh we forgot to introduce ourselves didn't we? Sorry about that just a lot going on and all. You should probably know that Percy can't talk, it happened a while ago. By the way I'm Nudge! And I am still really hungry..."

"Nudge!" The flock shouted while I gave her a look of exasperation.

"Oh sorry Percy I didn't know." Katie looked at me with pity.

I'm used to it. I thought sadly.

"He says, I am used to it." Angel translated to Katie who looked confused.

"How did you know what he 'says' if he can't talk and didn't do any sign language?"

We all froze. How was I going to talk to everyone with out giving us away?

Max covered for us. "Ever since he lost his voice we have been coming up with a way of communicating with him without anyone knowing. Its our own personal sign language."

Katie didn't look like she believed it but gave up trying to figure out what was really going on. Instead reminding us, "I don't know any of your names yet."

"I'm Max. This is Fang, Iggy who is blind, Percy who you know, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel." Max said pointing to each when she spoke their name.

Katie nodded to each of us. "Percy do you have any questions that you want me to answer?"

I nodded. We all had tons of questions to ask and soon we developed a way of asking them without talking over each other and confusing Katie. I would think the question, Angel would say it, and Katie would answer it. With a frequent comment or question from the rest of the flock.

The first question was of course, "Who is my godly parent?"(We were all disappointed that the only one who knew was my mother/father or both.)

"How do we find out who my godly parent is?"(They have to claim you.)

"When does that happen?" (Whenever they want it to.)

"Who is your godly parent?" (Demeter goddess of harvest and agriculture. She said this proudly.)

"What is Camp Half-blood like?" (She said it was the best place in the world not even Mr. D could completely ruin it.)

"Who is Mr. D?" (Dionysus god of wine who's punishment for chasing an of limit wood nymph was to watch over them "Brats")

"What did that monster mean when it said 'I stole a lightning bolt?" (At this Katie became worried and said she didn't know but the gods had been fighting over something and we would have to ask Chiron.)

"Who is Chiron?" (A centaur that trains children of the gods.)

"What do we do at camp?" (Train with weapons so we can defend ourselves against monsters.)

"Do they attack a lot?" (Depends how strong your scent is.)

"What do you mean scent?" (Every demigod has a scent that monsters can smell. The stronger the scent the more monsters that chase you.)

Eventually our questions slowed as our brains became overfilled with everything that we had learned in the last hour.

Finally it was Katie's turn to ask a question.

"So you are willing to go to Camp?"

I looked over at Max for guidance. She nodded to me and I smiled.

"This sounds like a good way to keep Percy safe. We will all go with you, even if we can't get in." Max stated, leaving no room for argument.

Katie nodded but looked a little perplexed. "And you don't have anyone at home you need to talk to first?"

As one we all shook out heads, not explaining anything.

Katie just nodded. "That is okay, a lot of demigods stay at Camp because they have no where else to go. We should leave soon, I can IM Camp and have the van pick us up."

"How far are we from the camp?" Iggy asks.

"Around an hour."

"Wait, you are going to instant message a camp for kids that are half god?" Fang asked in disbelief about Katie's earlier comment.

"No. I'm going to Iris Message a camp for kids that are half god." Katie said in a 'duh' tone.

'Iris Messaging?' I thought.

Angel voiced my thoughts for me.

"Here follow me, I will teach you how to work an Iris Message. It might just save your life one day."

I nodded and got up to follow her. Ready to learn about the world of the gods that I had been born into.
