Chapter 4

Return to Manhattan

I walked over to the pool of water Poseidon had been talking about before I knelt down beside it and tossed the drachma into it. Please, Goddess Iris, please allow me to contact my mother, Sally Jackson, I thought. A moment later, the water swirled around and the image of Sally Jackson appeared in the pool of water.

"Percy?" Sally gasped, her eyes going wide as she leaned closer to the water that she was, most likely, seeing me through.

I smiled slightly. "Hi mom," I said.

"Where have you been? Mr. Brunner came by earlier and said that you had gone missing and he couldn't find you," Sally said.

"Well, it's kind of a funny story," I admitted.

"Enlighten me."

"I, uh, kinda found myself in Maine."

"Maine! How in the world did you find yourself in Maine?" Sally exclaimed. I noticed it was because she had been worried, not necessarily that she was angry.

"Yeah," I said.

"You come home this instant, mister," Sally said.

"I, uh, that's going to be a problem," I admitted.

"Why?"

"Because I'm, uh, kinda several leagues under the sea," I said.

Sally fell silent. "Under the sea?" she asked finally, I noticed there was slight hope in her voice.

"Yeah. I'm confused too," I admitted.

Sally was silent for a long moment. "I never told you the truth about your father," she said finally. "I guess I was a bit afraid to tell you the truth."

"The truth that I'm the son of the Greek God Poseidon."

Sally blinked. "You know?" she asked.

"Of course he knows, Sally," Poseidon said walking over to kneel down beside Percy and Sally's eyes went wide with shock.

"Poseidon," she whispered.

"Hello Sally, it is good to see you again," Poseidon replied.

"What happened?"

"It is what I feared, Sally. I told you it would be best to send him to Camp Half-Blood but you insisted that you wanted to raise him and get to know him. He was attacked at his school and he fled, taking a taxi and somehow ending up in Maine where he was attacked again. They know who he is, Sally, that is why I'm sending him to Camp Half-Blood," Poseidon replied.

Sally was silent for a long moment. "I knew you weren't lying when you said he would be in danger," she whispered. "I just wanted to raise him, I wanted to be a mother toward him even if you can't be a father toward him."

Poseidon smiled gently. "I know," he said. "We are running out of time but you'll see Percy again. Camp Half-Blood is only during the summer and he was lucky he happened to run away from his school five days before summer began."

"All right," Sally said before her image flickered.

"I love you mom," I called before her image could disappear and she smiled at me before nodding once and her image disappeared.

I guess I thought if I was going to this Half-Blood Hill then I would go with my father but Poseidon told me, point blank, that I couldn't. "Why?" I protested.

"I need to speak with my brothers and tell them about you," Poseidon replied. "Taking you to Camp Half-Blood may be easy but it will also anger my brothers for they will want to know why I didn't speak with them first."

"What are they likely to do?"

Poseidon pursed his lips. "I cannot say. I was forbidden to sire children after World War II and yet I did, my brothers will not be happy and, if I can't convince them not to, they may kill you," he said.

I just stared at him.

Poseidon smiled slightly, his eyes crinkling. "I won't let that happen," he said. "No matter what my brothers think, you are my son."

I nodded once before falling silent for several minutes. "How am I supposed to get to Half-Blood Hill?" I asked.

Poseidon pressed his lips together. "I'll escort you back to Manhattan and you'll meet again with Grover, this time don't run from him. There also may be another with him but I cannot be sure," he said.

"All right," I said.

Poseidon smiled. "It was nice meeting you, Percy," he said.

I smiled. "You too," I replied.

When I returned to the nearly destroyed school, Mr. Brunner and Grover were still there. I could tell by the looks on their faces that they weren't expecting me to come back, especially not with my father at my side. Poseidon had shrunk himself until he was the size of a normal adult mortal.

Mr. Brunner looked shocked and he gazed around briefly but no one was around, aside from a few police cars and police man that were searching through the school. "Lord Poseidon," he said a bit shock.

Poseidon smiled. "Hello Chiron," he greeted him.

"Chiron?" I echoed. "As in the centaur that trained Greek heroes in Greek Mythology?"

Poseidon glanced at him. "Yes," he replied. "Why should you look so shocked? Discovering I was real, a chimera was real and Echidna was real hasn't convinced you yet?"

I shrugged. "It's too hard to believe," I admitted.

"What brings you here, Lord Poseidon?" Mr. Brunner, or Chiron?, said.

"Simple, I want Grover to escort my son to Camp Half-Blood," Poseidon replied calmly.

Judging by the looks on Grover's face, he hadn't known that I was the son of Poseidon, Chiron didn't look too surprised which told me that he knew already.

"You up for it, Grover?" Chiron asked.

Grover nodded. "Yeah," he replied.

"Good because I have to get back to Camp Half-Blood and, to say the least, I'm not supposed to help you. I'm not even supposed to be here right now," Chiron said before he placed his hands on his armrests and wheeled himself away.

Poseidon glanced at me. "I had better leave too," he said. "I still have to explain to my brothers about this after all."

"Goodbye then, dad," I said smiling.

Poseidon smiled. "Goodbye, Percy," he said.

"Look away," Grover whispered into my ear and I glanced at him before I glanced back at the spot where my father had been to find that he was gone.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"He revealed his true form. If you had been looking at him, you would have disintegrated. No one can stand to look directly at a God when he reveals his true form," Grover explained.

"Oh okay." Yeah, that wasn't much help in trying to explain what had happened but I wasn't about to argue, more because I didn't want to.

"Come on, let's get going before something else causes you to run off and end up in Maine," Grover said and I scowled but he just smiled and led me away from the destroyed school and toward wherever it was that Half-Blood Hill was located.

A/n what do you think?

Blaze: yeah, I'm sorry I lied, Annabeth comes into the story in the next chapter

Darth: I was just saying

Blaze: I know, this ain't for you

Palpypie: hi

Palpypie's Ghost and Kronos's Ghost: That wasn't nice
