The next morning, Lyra and I went through the usual routine. We trained extra hard for the Capture the Flag games that night. I gave Lyra sword fighting lessons, even though she didn't need them.
We decided not to go to Archery Class that day. I doubted that Chiron's tail was still there to protect his bottom from our arrows. After disintegrating every single training dummy in the sword arena, Lyra and I decided to go canoeing. It was the only other skill we were good at.
When we went to the middle of the lake, watery hands grabbed me and I took an unplanned swim. As I went under, I heard Lyra laughing her head off. I got my head out of the water, and I saw that Lyra was still laughing so hard that I thought that she was going to fall over the boat too.
When Lyra saw my head come out of the water, she did her best to stop laughing long enough for her to say, "Come on Kelp Head, come out of the water, or do you want me to leave you here?" She gave me her hand, and I took it while muttering a hundred curses under my breath.
"Why the sad face?" she said. "Don't you want to be on my homepage?" At first I was confused. Then she showed me that she had taken a picture of me on her cellphone, and my eyes widened. "I even videotaped it. I'm posting it on YouTube." She said. I lunged for her cellphone but she got it out of the way just in time. "Come on Lyra!" I whined. I hoped no other demigod saw this. Otherwise, I was going to kill Lyra. Not literally, though.

Before we went canoeing, I asked the nymphs in the lake to pull Percy overboard when we get to the middle of the lake, so I could videotape it. It was so much fun. Especially when Percy started whining like a little baby. I even videotaped that. Percy wasn't dry when he came out of the lake, mainly because he wasn't expecting to go underwater. He had to go dry up, while I told the whole camp about the video. Even Annabeth, who was probably Percy's closest friend had to check out the video.
When Percy came out of the Poseidon Cabin, everyone he passed started laughing at him, and lucky for him, he was wearing a hoodie, so he covered up his face so no one would recognize him. The only people who did recognize him were Jason, Hazel, Frank, Thalia, Nico (They were all visiting), Piper, Leo, and Annabeth, and they all seemed like they were refraining from laughing. Every time someone pointed at him and laughed, he cursed under his breath.
A few hours later, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the video, mainly because they were so busy preparing for Capture the Flag. Percy told me the rules of Capture the Flag. We had made an alliance the Athena, Hermes, and Hephaestus Cabin. The goal was to capture the other team's flag, which was guarded by the other team, and come into our side of the forest before they get out flag and gets into their side of the forest.
Easy right? Not! Percy put me on guard duty, so for the whole game, while the other team players went to fetch the flag, me, this guy name Malcolm, Leo, and a guy named Jake guarded the flag. We had to fight off everyone who tried to get the flag, and all Percy had to do was sneak around the other team's guards , get the flag, and come back.
I ended up with four different arrows in my hair, and three large cuts where Clarisse, a daughter of Ares, grazed me with her electric spear, which everyone told me, was called Maimer. Typical for a daughter of the war god. When Percy came with the flag, he found me on the ground. While Malcolm guarded me, and Leo and Jake still guarded the flag. When Percy and our team reached the flag, a cheer erupted from our team, and the other team stopped fighting.
Percy quickly ran to me, picked me up, and being the Kelp Head he is, he threw me into the stream, when could've just put me near the water. I came out of the stream spouting every Greek curse that ever existed. As I walked past Percy, I glared at him and went to our cabin to dry up.

When I neared our flag with the other team's flag, I saw Lyra sprawled on the ground while Malcolm guarded her. Leo and Jake decided to keep on guarding the flag. My team and I ran to our flag. When we reached it, a cheer erupted from my team. I quickly ran to Lyra. If she wasn't healed soon, her wounds could get serious.
Then I had an idea. I picked her up and threw her into the stream. A few minutes later, she emerged from the stream spouting a thousand curses. As she went passed me she glared at me. Then she walked out of the forest. "Uh, you welcome?" I said. Annabeth and Thalia rolled their eyes. "Way to go Seaweed Brain." Thalia and Annabeth said as they followed her out of the forest.

Percy just had one of his "ideas", which means that he just messed up big time. He decided to throw Lyra into the stream with warning her just because she was wounded. I mean seriously, he could've just brought some water from the stream poured in on her wound instead. The distance divided by how long she would last with all those wounds say that she would've been healed 89.99% faster if he had just poured water on her wound instead.
Lyra came out of the water spouting curses. She walked back to her cabin but not before glaring at Percy real hard. As she walked out of the forest, Percy, being the Seaweed Brain he is, said the most intelligent thing in his world. "Um, you're welcome?" Seriously, sometimes I can't even believe that I'm friends with him. "Way to go Seaweed Brain." Thalia and I said at the same time as we rushed after her.
When we arrived in the Poseidon Cabin, we found Lyra lying on her bed, staring at the Hippocampi on the ceiling. "Hi guys" she said, not taking her eyes off the ceiling. "Don't worry, everyone at camp isn't as dumb as Percy acts sometimes." I said. She looked at me. "I'm not sure if I'm offended in Percy's name, or if I agree with you." I chuckled.
Thalia went closer to her. "If Percy ever does something like that again, I'm going to zap him so high into the sky, that my dad Zeus will burn him to a crisp. She laughed. "I respect you. You a lot brighter than…" she paused. "…..some other children of Poseidon I've met." Thalia waited for Lyra to say something. "You mean the Cyclopes." Lyra said. "Not all of them are non-educated. I've met Tyson and he's really smart when he wants to be."
"We've met him too." I said. Just then, Percy came through the door. "Met who too?" he said. I was about to open my mouth when Lyra asked, "Were you eavesdropping on us?" He stared at her. "Maybe." He said. I sensed a fight about to start. "Well," I hurriedly said. "It's been nice but, we have to go back to our cabins because…" I couldn't think of something to say, which was a first.
I gave Thalia a look that said Help me. Thalia got it. She even smiled. "Because I have to rest enough so I can electrocute Percy tomorrow for throwing you in the stream." She said. I smiled. "And I want to be there to get it on tape." I finished. "Good night" I said as I hurriedly pulled Thalia out of the cabin.

After Thalia and Annabeth got out of our cabin, me and Percy had a moment of awkward silence. Then Percy broke the silence. "Well, um, good night." He said while going to his bed. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched his pillow.
I stayed up for a long time, still worrying about the quest. Finally sleep overcame me, and I drifted off into the realm of Morpheus.
I was floating in an underwater cavern in who knows were when I heard a voice. "Lyra Jackson, so kind of you to join me in my underwater home." I searched for the source of the voice. I couldn't see anyone. "Who are you? Show yourself!" I yelled.
I squinted. Then I saw a humanoid shape materialize in front of me. He was a man with jet black hair and sea green eyes. He was wearing a sea green toga that seemed to be woven from seaweed or probably kelp, and sandals that were made of a dead sponge (the living sea creature, not a plastic sponge).
"Dad?" I asked. He looked at me like I had gone psycho. Then he cackled. "No, I am not that upstart Poseidon. I am much older than him." I was confused. I couldn't think of anyone else he could be. "Then who are you?" I asked again. He smiled. "I am your doom." He said. "What do you mean?" I asked worriedly. He laughed- no, cackled. "You are as slow as your brother. Think about it with that brain of yours."
I scanned through the names of every god, titan, and Primordial god. Suddenly a horrible possibility occurred to me. He watched as a look of realization dawned of my face. "Yes little hero, I will rise again and doom the world to a painful end." He said. "Then Iwill start the world anew, with the help of my brothers." He said. "We will keep a few of those puny mortals of course. Why destroy the world and take over the world if you don't have anyone to rule over." He added. He thought for a minute. Then he added, "Although, if you decide to join me, you will not be harmed. You will watch the world end from the safety of your home." He said this like it was perfectly fun watching the world end. The edges of my dream started disappearing. "Ah yes, your brother is trying to wake you up. Remember my words when they ask you to oppose me."
I woke up with a start, and Percy was staring at me, with a bucket in his hand. "Hey!" I yelled. Percy laughed. "Sorry, it's just that you were mumbling in your sleep and you refused to wake up. Was it a bad dream?" he said. "I'd hardly call it bad, unless that's what you call hearing that the end of the world is coming soon." I said. Percy's smile melted into a frown. "I don't suppose you mean world as in Gaea, huh?" he asked. I shook my head.
I told him about my dream. After I finished, he seemed very scared. Then again, I wouldn't think he was a sane person if he wasn't scared about the end of the world. "So let me get this straight. There's this mystery guy who's going to rise and end the world." He said. "Check" I said. "And he has these brothers who are going to help him wipe out all humans from the earth." He said. I shook my head. "He said that he would keep some mortals alive so he can rule over them." I said. "We need to go tell Chiron." I said. So together we raced to the Big House.
When we arrived, we saw Chiron playing with some kind of cards with an invisible player. When he saw us, he smiled. "Ah, Percy and Lyra. What can I do for you?" We told him about my dream. His smile melted as well "Oh dear, I was afraid that this would happen." He mumbled to himself. But I heard it. "What would happen?" I asked. He looked at me sadly. "Someone who has been tormenting your father for millennium." He answered sadly.
Percy looked angry. "Who's been tormenting dad? I'll crush him!" he yelled. Chiron gazed at Percy sadly. "Alas, this someone cannot be crushed, for he is immortal." He said. I frowned. "Would you care to tell us who this "someone" is?" I asked. "No I cannot." He said sadly, as it he was picking the flowers I'd love best on my grave. "Your father made me swear on the River Styx not to tell you." He said. I was about to ask why, when it occurred to me that if Poseidon had told me about this guy, I wouldn't have been sane.
"You shall not speak of this when you get out of here." He said. Suddenly, Annabeth materialized in front of me. "Why?" she said. I was startled, but I quickly regained myself. "How did you get in here?" Chiron asked. She smiled. "You left the door open." She pointed at the door. "The campers have already been through so much, during the Titan War and the Giant War. We should not scare them any further." he said. "Fine," Percy and I grumbled under our breath. "OK" Annabeth said. We walked out of the Big House.
Me: That's it for this chapter.
Hazel: Why was Annabeth saying all that nonsense about percents?
Percy: You shouldn't have said that.
Me: I'm going to save you the pain of listening to Annabeth ramble on about percents and number sentences and end it right here.
Annabeth: Hey!
Me: Bye!
