I'm sorry the chapters have been so short. I usually like longer ones, so you probably do too. But in this chapter they start the quest, and it becomes more centered on Perlia. So here's chapter 4.

Percy pov

Chiron turned red in the face and appeared to stutter for a minute, before he choked out, "Thalia, Percy, can you meet me at the border in 15 minutes so we can get you started on the quest. Oh, and bring your bags."

Thalia turned around, as she hadn't noticed Chiron behind us until he spoke, and was as red in the face as he was. "Oh...C-Chiron. Uhmmm... let me go get my bags."

She darted out of the room at a speed only a hunter had, and Chiron turned back around to me with a questioning look on his face. I just shrugged and he took that as an answer, and asked me, "Oh, and Percy, what happened to you earlier. Nobody knows, but if it was some kind of monster attack, we'd need to know."

My face darkened at the thought, and my heart fluttered at the thought of telling Chiron. He was like a father to me, but how do you tell someone that the girl you gave up immortality for, almost started a war with her mother, and sacrificed your self on mt. Helens for, that she dumped you for another guy.

He noticed my silence, and shook his brown haired head. "You don't have to tell me, Percy, but I would reccomend telling some-"

"It's ok, Chiron. A-Annabeth.. s-she... left m-me...", I choked out. I shook with dry sobs, as I was too run out of tears to shed anymore. Chiron looked at me with pity, and what seemed sympathy. He walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Oh, child. I am so sorry. Do not worry, It will fade eventually." He left and I heard him mutter under his breath "If you are lucky."

I sat there for a minute before I decided to just go and get ready to go. As I got of the bed, my legs felt wobbly, as if they would give in any minute. I leaned against the wall for support, and started my walk out of the big house. Outside, it was so bright out, I had to cover my eyes for a moment.

When I finally pulled my hand away, I instantly regretted it. In front of me was Connor Stoll and looked like he had rolled in glitter and make up. He saw my questioning glance and answered with two words. "Aphrodite. Cabin."

But he had to ask something else, something I wish he didn't. "Hey man, what happened to you two days ago? We found you on the beach and looking like you had walked to Hades and back."

TWO DAYS AGO?

"Ugh... Connor, I thought I was only out for a few hours, not a few days?" Somehow, it came out as a question.

"Percy, it's been two days. So... whaaaat happppened?" I felt as if I was ready to just give up and pass out on the grass.

I just muttered "Nothing, now drop it."

Smartly, he took my advice and just walked away, and I started on my way back to my cabin with no other incidents other than a few waves from old friends.

When I walked inside, I felt somehow calmer, like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I wanted to just stand there for an eternity, without my pain that by now seemed inescapable, but I knew that i only had a few more minutes until I had to go meet up with Chiron and Thalia.

I quickly grabbed a seagreen backpack that I had just got from my dad a month ago. It was waterproof, and could shrink in size or shape. It could also fit just about anything in it and still only weigh two pounds.

I shoved some normal mortal clothes in and was debating about taking anything camp-half blood related, when Thalia burst through the doorway. She looked out of breath, and quickly said, "Ready to go, Percy?"

I just noticed what she was wearing, and I guess she had changed clothes while in her cabin. Instead of her regular black t-shirt and hunter jacket, she was wearing a black and red t-shirt that said 'EMO is just an excuse for boys to act like bitches'. (AN: I actually have that shirt) And she now wore baggy black cargo pants with a rip in one of knees and a chain hanging from the pocket.

"Yeah," I answered in a monotone voice. "Let's go."

We exited my cabin and we walked for a few minutes in silence, until we got to the hill. Chiron waited there and when we arrived he said, "Argus is waiting at the base of the hill with the van. He will drop you off, but you need to go to Olympus to ask Zeus for permission for Percy to fly to Greece."

He handed us plane tickets, and patted us each on the shoulder before he galloped down to the archery range. We smiled at each other for a small moment, and set off on our quest.

Woah, that is the longest chapter I've written. And see if you can guess who the two teenagers were. Also message me or comment on here if you think I should write this story i've got stuck in my head: A group of 12 demititans meet each other 12 years after the 2nd titan war. They are looking for revenge and releasing there parents, but they need one more demititan to do it. Chad, son of Chaos. and that is his story. So... what do you think. tell me. RandR
