Chapter 6

600th Flr. Empire State Building-Mt. Olympus Throne Room-2003

It has been half an hour since Artemis left to do her godly duties and everyone were still chatting and then the door to the throne room opened to reveal Artemis.

"Thank you for waiting. Shall we start?" Asked Artemis.

The Olympians went to their thrones except Poseidon who went back to the bean bag chair. Nico stared in surprise at his uncle but then offered, "Uncle Poseidon, you can sit her beside Percy. I can just sit down there."

Poseidon chuckled, "It's alright nephew. I'm fine here." Percy stared at his dad. "Dad, are you sure?" Poseidon nodded at his son and answered, "I'm sure besides I prefer a bean bag near my son than that throne as of the moment." Percy blushed while his cousins smiled at their uncle who is obviously relishing his son's presence near him.

"Artemis, you can start. Everyone seems to be settled in their seats." Said Hades. Artemis nodded.

"Chapter 5, I Play Pinochle with a Horse…"

Artemis was about to continue when there was a light in middle of the throne room near the hearth. When the light dimmed, a girl with blonde hair was sprawled on the floor. The girl sat up, groaned and opened her grey eyes.

Recognition flashed in Athena's face. "Annabeth?" Everyone just stared in shock at the girl.

The girl looked up and her eyes widened. "Mom?!" She got over her shock and observed her surroundings. She then knelt down.

Zeus being the dramatic god that he is used his booming voice and demanded Annabeth to stand up and introduce herself.

The girl stood up and said, "Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena." Athena smiled at her daughter and asked, "Annabeth, why are you here?" Annabeth looked at her mother and answered, "I don't know, mother. Last thing I remember, I was in Camp Half Blood and Chiron was trying to ease everyone's worry after we discovered that the children of the big three were suddenly missing."

Everyone was looking at her confused when a girl's voice made Annabeth turn around. "Annabeth? Are you our Annabeth?" Asked Thalia.

Annabeth's eyes lit up in joy. "You guys! You were just here! We were so worried!" But she suddenly looked confused when she processed the hunter's question. "What do you mean our Annabeth?"

Percy stared at her. "Annabeth, what year is it?" Annabeth looked confused but still answered. "It's 2009. Why are you asking Seaweed Brain? Did the seaweed finally completely filled your head and you forgot what year it is?"

The three demigods smiled and Nico said, "She's our Annabeth." The gods and goddesses now have a look of understanding in their faces but Annabeth was still confused.

Thalia started to explain. "Well, the Fates decided to kidnap us and send us back in the past. Today is the winter solstice in the year 2003. It looks like they sent you too. So what's happening at camp? You said everyone was in a panic."

Annabeth was silent for a while trying to grasp what Thalia just explained but then answered, "Huh. So that's why Chiron said the Fates told him that you guys were safe and not to worry. It was already sundown but Percy and Nico have not yet gotten back at camp then Phoebe came to camp saying that Thalia is missing and thought she might be in camp."

Percy looked contemplative. "And that's when the panic started because everyone in camp knew that the three of us are together and were supposed to get back at camp for Nico and I, Thalia with the hunters, by sundown and currently cannot be found. Did mom know?" Annabeth nodded and said, "She knows. I called her and asked if you three were with her but she said last time she saw you was when you guys went there before lunch to fetch Percy and then left. She was about to panic too but Chiron appeared and explained what the Fates said to him."

"Now, that's settled, can we please resume what we were doing?" Asked an irritated Hera.

"What were you doing?" Asked Annabeth.

"Annabeth dear, go and sit with your friends and have them explain what the Fates asked us to do." Athena smiled at her daughter as her daughter went to the couch.

Annabeth then finally noticed the guy sitting in a bean bag in front of Percy and bowed, "Lord Poseidon." Poseidon smiled at her and scooted his bean bag in front of Nico so Annabeth can pass and sit between Percy and Thalia. Thalia explained about the note from the Fates and the books in haste as they sensed the impatience from the other gods. When she was done explaining, Thalia signaled Artemis to resume reading.

I had weird dreams full of barnyard animals. Most of them wanted to kill me. The rest wanted food.

"You have weird dreams, demigod." Observed Hephaestus without looking up and while he fiddled with something on his lap.

I must've woken up several times… The girl with curly blonde hair hovered over me, smirking as she scraped drips off my chin with the spoon.

"By the way Annabeth, Percy said that you were a pretty girl with blonde hair curled like Cinderella in the last chapter." Thalia and Nico snickered.

Percy turned red. "Nico! You didn't have to tell her." Annabeth smirked at Percy. "Really, Seaweed Brain?" Percy looked away blushing while his dad was trying his best not to laugh at him.

When she saw my eyes open, she asked, 'What will happen at the summer solstice?' … 'What?'

She looked around... 'What's going on? What was stolen? We've only got a few weeks!'

"Wow. Grill him with questions as soon as he woke up. Not helping." Said Apollo. This time it was Annabeth who turned red.

'I'm sorry,' I mumbled, 'I don't…' Somebody knocked on the door, and the girl quickly filled my mouth with pudding.

"Well, that's one way to shut him up." Mused Thalia. Everyone laughed at Percy who just scowled.

The next time I woke up, the girl was gone.

"Aww. He missed you already." Teased Aphrodite.

A husky blond dude, like a surfer, stood in the corner of the bedroom keeping watch over me…

Hera smiled at the thought of Argus.

When I finally came around for good... I was sitting in a deck chair on a huge porch, gazing across a meadow at green hills in the distance… My tongue was dry and nasty and every one of my teeth hurt.

Percy groaned. Annabeth turned to him to ask what's wrong but Thalia decided to tell her. "The demigods will feel what they felt in the book." Annabeth looked worried and held Percy's hand while remembering all the things that they went through that may be on the books.

On the table next to me was a tall drink… My hand was so weak I almost dropped the glass… 'Careful,' a familiar voice said.

Grover was leaning against the porch railing... Just plain old Grover. Not the goat boy. So maybe I'd had a nightmare. Maybe my mom was okay…

'You saved my life,' Grover said. '… I went back to the hill. I thought you might want this.' Reverently, he placed the shoe box in my lap.

Inside was a black-and-white bulls horn… splattered with dried blood. It hadn't been a nightmare. 'The Minotaur,' I said.

"Oh Styx. I just missed the chapter about the fight with the Minotaur!" Whined Annabeth as she just realized that the current chapter was the events after Percy got to Camp Half Blood.

Thalia smirked, "Don't worry, Annie. I'll recount the fight to you later." Nico nodded and said, "It was so awesome!" Percy glared at him and Nico's grin faltered. "I mean it was bad but still awesome!" Annabeth chuckled at Nico.

…'That's what they call it in the Greek myths, isn't it?' I demanded. 'The Minotaur. Half man, half bull.' Grover shifted uncomfortably. 'You've been out for two days. How much do you remember?'

'My mom. Is she really…' He looked down. I stared across the meadow... was the one with the huge pine tree on top. Even that looked beautiful in the sunlight.

"What was that supposed to mean, Kelp Head?" Thalia glared but Percy just sighed sadly and nodded at Artemis to continue.

My mother was gone. The whole world should be black and cold. Nothing should look beautiful.

"Oh. Sorry." Thalia looked down. Percy smiled at her sadly and whispered, "It's okay, Thals."

'I'm sorry,' Grover sniffled. 'I'm a failure. I'm – I'm the worst satyr in the world.'

"No, he's not!" Disagreed the demigods while Zeus snorted.

He moaned… the Converse hi-top came off. The inside was filled with Styrofoam, except for a hoof-shaped hole. 'Oh, Styx!' he mumbled.

As he struggled to get his hoof back in the fake foot, I thought, Well, that settles it. Grover was a satyr… my mom really had been squeezed into nothingness, dissolved into yellow light.

I was alone. An orphan. I would have to live with… Smelly Gabe? No… I'd do something.

"Oh no, you don't. You're staying in camp, son. You're safer there or…" Poseidon hummed and grinned. "I can just abduct you and hide you in Atlantis."

Everyone but the demigods and Hestia stared at Poseidon with wide eyes and mouths open. Then Zeus recovered and warningly said, "Poseidon!"

Poseidon chuckled. "Oh shut up, Drama Queen. I'm just kidding." Then Poseidon winked at his son and murmured, "Or not."

The demigods chuckled while Percy thought, 'My dad is really overprotective. I wonder how he'll react with everything that's going to happen. I hope he doesn't break down or blast someone.'

Grover was still sniffling. The poor kid – poor goat, satyr, whatever – looked as if he expected to be hit.

"Don't you dare, Kelp Head." Warned Thalia.

Percy looked at her incredulously. "Seriously? You really think I'll do that?" He sounded so offended.

Thalia realized what she said and looked apologetic. "Sorry. I know you won't. I'm just…" Percy cut her off. "Overprotective of Grover? I know. I am too, Pinecone Face." The two cousins grinned at each other while Nico and Annabeth just shook their head.

I said, 'It wasn't your fault.' 'Yes, it was. I was supposed to protect you.' … 'But why…' I suddenly felt dizzy, my vision swimming.

Percy suddenly lurched forward and was about to hit the floor face first but Poseidon caught his son. Nico and Annabeth pulled Percy back and Nico asked, "You okay, Perce?"

Percy nodded, leaned back on the couch and said, "Yeah. Just a little dizzy."

'Don't strain yourself,' Grover said. 'Here.' He helped me hold my glass and put the straw to my lips. I recoiled at the taste, because I was expecting apple juice… Liquid cookies. And not just any cookies – my mom's homemade blue chocolate-chip cookies...

The demigods and Poseidon licked their lips as they thought about Sally's blue cookies.

Drinking it, my whole body felt warm and good, full of energy. My grief didn't go away… Before I knew it, I'd drained the glass… 'Was it good?' Grover asked. I nodded.

'What did it taste like?' He sounded so wistful, I felt guilty. 'Sorry,' I said. 'I should've let you taste.'

"No! Satyr's can't drink that, little cousin." Informed Apollo.

"I didn't know back then. I know better now."

His eyes got wide. 'No! That's not what I meant. I just… wondered.' …He sighed. 'And how do you feel?' 'Like I could throw Nancy Bobofit a hundred metres.'

"Is that a good thing?" Asked Hestia.

Annabeth laughed. "For Percy, yeah but for Nancy, probably not."

'That's good,' he said. 'That's good. I don't think you should risk drinking any more of that stuff.'

'What do you mean?' He took the empty glass… 'Come on. Chiron and Mr D are waiting.'

"Great. Another brat." Complained Dionysus. The gods glared at him.

My legs felt wobbly trying to walk that far. Grover offered to carry the Minotaur horn, but I held on to it. I'd paid for that souvenir the hard way. I wasn't going to let it go.

"Good. Always treasure your spoils of war." Hummed Ares.

Percy paled. 'Did Ares just praise me? Oh my gods. The world must be ending!'

As we came around the opposite end of the house, I caught my breath. We must've been on the north shore of Long Island…

The demigods sighed in happiness, "Home sweet home."

Down at the end of the porch, two men sat across from each other at a card table. The blonde-haired girl who'd spoon-fed me popcorn-flavoured pudding was leaning on the porch rail next to them.

The man facing me was small, but porky… He looked like a cherub who'd turned middle-aged in a trailer park.

Dionysus sneered at Percy. "Perry Johanson, do you want to get blasted?"

Poseidon glared at Dionysus. "Don't you dare, nephew." Dionysus huffed and everyone chuckled at him.

He wore a tiger-pattern Hawaiian shirt… I got the feeling this guy could've out-gambled even my stepfather.

Dionysus calmed down. "Of course I can, Peter."

'That's Mr D,' Grover murmured to me. 'He's the camp director. Be polite. The girl, that's Annabeth Chase. She's just a camper... And you already know Chiron…' He pointed at the guy whose back was to me. First, I realized he was sitting in the wheelchair… 'Mr Brunner!' I cried.

Dionysus smirked. "I knew it was him." The other gods nodded in recognition.

The Latin teacher turned and smiled at me... 'Ah, good, Percy,' he said. 'Now we have four for pinochle.' He offered me a chair to the right of Mr D... 'Oh, I suppose I must say it. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. There. Now don't expect me to be glad to see you.'

"You have to be more welcoming, Dionysus. That's what a proper director should do." Chastised Hera. Dionysus just grunted in response while his immortal brothers snickered at him.

'Uh, thanks.' I scooted a little further away from him… If Mr D was a stranger to alcohol, I was a satyr.

Everyone in the room except Zeus and Ares frowned at the mention of Percy's stepfather, Gabe.

'Annabeth?' Mr Brunner called to the blonde girl. She came forward and Mr Brunner introduced us. 'This young lady nursed you back to health, Percy…' Annabeth said, 'Sure, Chiron.'

She was probably my age, maybe a couple of centimetres taller, and a whole lot more athletic-looking… except her eyes ruined the image.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow at Percy, "What does that mean, Seaweed Brain?" Thalia and Nico snickered at Percy. Percy just sighed and said, "Listen. Lady Artemis, please continue."

They were a startling grey, like storm clouds; pretty, but intimidating, too, as if she were analysing the best way to take me down in a fight.

"Oh. Yeah, I was." Annabeth blushed.

I imagined she was going to say, You killed a Minotaur! or Wow, you're so awesome! or something like that.

Thalia snorted, "In your dreams, Kelp Head."

Instead she said, 'You drool when you sleep.'

There was a brief moment of silence then everyone except Percy and Annabeth burst out laughing. Percy just turned red and hid his face behind Annabeth as she tried to suppress a chuckle.

…'So,' I said, anxious to change the subject. 'You, uh, work here, Mr Brunner?'

'Not Mr Brunner... You may call me Chiron.' 'Okay… And Mr D… does that stand for something?'

… 'Young man, names are powerful things. You don't just go around using them for no reason.'

…'I must say, Percy,' Chiron-Brunner broke in, 'I'm glad to see you alive. It's been a long time since I've made a house call to a potential camper. I'd hate to think I've wasted my time.'

It seemed like so long ago, but I did have a fuzzy memory of there being another Latin teacher my first week at Yancy... 'You came to Yancy just to teach me?' I asked.

Chiron nodded. 'Honestly, I wasn't sure about you at first… Nevertheless, you made it here alive, and that's always the first test.'

"A test that I failed." Thalia looked down on her lap. Annabeth held her hand and said, "You failed because you sacrificed yourself for us and for that I will be forever grateful." Thalia smiled at her.

'Grover,' Mr D said impatiently, 'are you playing or not?'

'Yes, sir!' Grover trembled as he took the fourth chair, though I didn't know why he should be so afraid of a pudgy little man in a tiger-print Hawaiian shirt.

"What are you doing to the satyrs, Dionysus? They're obviously terrified of you." Asked Demeter. Dionysus just ignored her.

'You do know how to play pinochle?' Mr D eyed me suspiciously. …I was liking the camp director less and less.

"The feeling is mutual, Pierre." Said Dionysus as he drank his diet coke.

…'Please,' I said, 'what is this place? What am I doing here? Mr Brun – Chiron – why would you go to Yancy Academy just to teach me?' Mr D snorted. 'I asked the same question.'

He expected me to have the right answer. 'Percy,' he said. 'Did your mother tell you nothing?'

'She said…' …She wanted to keep me close to her.'

'Typical,' Mr D said. 'That's how they usually get killed. Young man, are you bidding or not?'

…'I'm afraid there's too much to tell,' Chiron said. 'I'm afraid our usual orientation film won't be sufficient.'

"You didn't watch the orientation film?" Asked a very surprised Annabeth.

Percy shook his head. "Nope." Annabeth grimaced. "Oh. I'm sorry for being so mean before. I really thought you watched it." Percy smiled. "It's okay."

"It was very informative. You should have watched it." Thalia nodded in agreement with Nico.

Percy stared at his cousins. "Wait. So the two of you watched it too?" His cousins nodded and he whined. "This is so unfair! When we get back, I'm so demanding Chiron to let me watch it!"

Everyone laughed at him, some mockingly and some in pure amusement.

'Orientation film?' I asked.

'No,' Chiron decided. 'Well, Percy… Gods – the forces you call the Greek gods – are very much alive.'

I waited for somebody to yell, Not! But all I got was Mr D yelling, 'Oh, a royal marriage. Trick! Trick!' He cackled as he tallied up his points… 'Wait,' I told Chiron. 'You're telling me there's such a thing as God.'

'Well, now,' Chiron said. 'God – capital G, God... We shan't deal with the metaphysical.' 'Metaphysical? But you were just talking about –' 'Ah, gods, plural… That's a smaller matter.'

Everyone covered their ears before Zeus' voice boomed in the throne room. "SMALLER?!"

Hades rolled his eyes at his brother. "Shut up, Air Head. Niece, continue before your father throws one of his famous tantrums." Zeus gaped at Hades like a fish as everyone tried to suppress a laugh.

'Smaller!'

"Like father like son." Teased Poseidon. Zeus and Dionysus both scowled.

'Yes, quite. The gods we discussed in Latin class.' 'Zeus,' I said. 'Hera. Apollo. You mean them.'

"HA! He said my name!" Boasted Apollo. Artemis just rolled her eyes at her twin.

"But isn't ironic that he mentioned father's name but not Uncle P's?" Observed Hermes.

Everyone's attention suddenly went to Percy as he shrugged and said, "I don't know. In my defense, I think I was still a little bit disoriented and the new information was piling up and I just couldn't process it."

And there it was again – distant thunder on a cloudless day.

'Young man,' said Mr D. 'I would really be less casual about throwing those names around, if I were you.'

'But they're stories,' I said. 'They're – myths, to explain lightning and the seasons and stuff. They're what people believed before there was science.'

'Science!' Mr D scoffed. 'And tell me, Perseus Jackson –'

I flinched when he said my real name, which I never told anybody.

"I'm actually curious about that. Why don't you tell anybody your real name?" Inquired Nico. Thalia nodded and Annabeth added, "Yeah. I think everyone we know who knows your real name just heard it from monsters, titans or gods which is weird considering that we are friends and we should know more about you than them. Well, maybe except your dad coz he's your dad."

Percy blushed. "Well, when I was a kid, my schoolmates used to make fun of me and tell me that my name was weird and if you think about it, it's really an unusual name in our generation so I just got used to introducing myself with 'Percy' Jackson instead of Perseus."

The demigods frowned at the mention of people making fun of their friend but just nodded because finally they know the reason after contemplating about it for a long time.

'– what will people think of your "science" two thousand years from now?' Mr D continued. 'Hmm? They will call it primitive mumbo jumbo…'

I wasn't liking Mr D much, but there was something about the way he called me mortal, as if… he wasn't...

'Percy,' Chiron said, 'you may choose to believe or not, but the fact is that immortal means immortal. Can you imagine that for a moment, never dying? Never fading? Existing, just as you are, for all time?'

…'You mean, whether people believed in you or not,' I said.

'Exactly,' Chiron agreed. 'If you were a god, how would you like being called a myth… explain how little boys can get over losing their mothers?'

"Oh man. That was unnecessary, Chiron." Groaned Nico.

I said, 'I wouldn't like it. But I don't believe in gods.' 'Oh, you'd better,' Mr D murmured. 'Before one of them incinerates you.'

He waved his hand and a goblet appeared on the table, as if the sunlight had bent, momentarily, and woven the air into glass. The goblet filled itself with red wine.

"DIONYSUS!" Yelled Zeus. But before he could say more Artemis continued reading.

My jaw dropped, but Chiron hardly looked up.'Mr D,' he warned, 'your restrictions.'

… 'Old habits! Sorry!' More thunder.

Chiron winked at me. 'Mr D offended his father a while back, took a fancy to a wood nymph who had been declared off-limits.'

"And why, dear husband, is this wood nymph off-limits?" Asked Hera in a cold dangerous voice.

Zeus chuckled nervously and said, "Um, I don't remember?" Hera sneered at him but then let it go.

Everyone snickered at him and Zeus glared at everyone except Hera.

'A wood nymph,' I repeated, still staring at the Diet Coke can like it was from outer space.

'Yes,' Mr D confessed. 'Father loves to punish me… Ha! Absolutely unfair.' Mr D sounded about six years old, like a pouting little kid.

"Actually, it really is unfair. I mean, Mr. D is the god of wine and he's not allowed to have wine. It's like Lord Zeus being punished by staying out of the skies and like dad being forbidden to go to any bodies of water." Pondered Percy.

The demigods looked worriedly at him. "What are you doing, Kelp Head?" Whispered Thalia.

Percy winked at her and whispered back. "I'm trying to help Mr. D even just a little bit. Think of it as paying my debt when he helped us in our quest." Thalia nodded as she remembered that quest while Annabeth and Nico just looked confused.

The Olympians looked pensive even Zeus but Poseidon heard what his son whispered to his niece and decided to help his son. "My son has a point, Zeus."

Zeus nodded at this. "I agree. Dionysus, you can have two goblets of wine per week."

"Thank you, Father." Dionysus produced a goblet of red wine and released a sigh of satisfaction.

No one noticed the smug smile on Percy's face as they all turned to Artemis to listen.

'And…' I stammered, 'your father is…' '…I thought you taught this boy the basics. My father is Zeus, of course.'

I ran through D names from Greek mythology. Wine... 'You're Dionysus,' I said. 'The god of wine.'

Mr D rolled his eyes. 'What do they say, these days, Grover? Do the children say, "Well, duh!"?'

'Y-yes, Mr D.' 'Then, "Well, duh!" Percy Jackson. Did you think I was Aphrodite, perhaps?'

Aphrodite gasped. "I'm offended!"

'You're a god.' 'Yes, child.' 'A god. You.'

Hermes snorted. "Don't worry, Percy. We still have problems believing that too." Apollo laughed at this as Dionysus glared at the two troublemaker gods.

He turned to look at me straight on… He would plant a disease in my brain that would leave me wearing a straitjacket in a rubber room for the rest of my life. 'Would you like to test me, child?' he said quietly.

'No. No, sir.' The fire died a little. He turned back to his card game. 'I believe I win.'

Hermes sputtered. "B—but, you never win against him!"

'Not quite, Mr D,' Chiron said. He set down a straight, tallied the points, and said, 'The game goes to me.'

Hermes sighed in relief, "Ah. Everything is better again."

Dionysus was too happy and content that he didn't even comment about his loss to Chiron and what Hermes said.

Mr D turned to me. 'Cabin eleven, Percy Jackson. And mind your manners.' He swept into the farmhouse, Grover following miserably.

'Will Grover be okay?' I asked Chiron.

Chiron nodded, though he looked a bit troubled. 'Old Dionysus isn't really mad. He just hates his job. He's been… ah, grounded...' 'Mount Olympus,' I said. 'You're telling me there really is a palace there?'

'Well now, there's Mount Olympus in Greece. And then there's the home of the gods, the convergence point of their powers, which did indeed used to be on Mount Olympus. It's still called Mount Olympus, out of respect to the old ways, but the palace moves, Percy, just as the gods do.'

'You mean the Greek gods are here? Like… in America?'

…'Come now, Percy. What you call "Western civilization"…The fire started in Greece. Then, as you well know – or as I hope you know, since you passed my course – the heart of the fire moved to Rome, and so did the gods. Oh, different names, perhaps – Jupiter for Zeus, Venus for Aphrodite, and so on – but the same forces, the same gods.'

'And then they died.'

"Do we look dead, boy?" Asked Zeus in a threatening manner. Poseidon glared at his brother.

'Died? No. Did the West die? The gods simply moved, to Germany, to France, to Spain, for a while… America is now the heart of the flame. It is the great power of the West. And so Olympus is here. And we are here.'

It was all too much, especially the fact that I seemed to be included in Chiron's we, as if I were part of some club. 'Who are you, Chiron? Who… who am I?'

"Wow, I didn't know you had a flare of dramatics too, Percy." Teased Apollo.

Percy shrugged. "I guess it runs in the family. I mean everyone of us has had times like that, right?"

Chiron smiled. He shifted his weight as if he were going to get up out of his wheelchair, but I knew that was impossible. He was paralysed from the waist down.

'Who are you,' he mused. 'Well, that's the question we all want answered, isn't it? …Besides, there will be toasted marshmallows at the campfire tonight, and I simply adore them.'

"Adore would be an understatement." Muttered Annabeth.

Percy and Nico nodded while Thalia suggested, "Obsessed would be a better word for it."

I stared at the horse who had just sprung from the wheelchair: a huge white stallion. But where its neck should be was the upper body of my Latin teacher, smoothly grafted to the horse's trunk.

'What a relief the centaur said. 'I'd been cooped up in there so long, my fetlocks had fallen asleep. Now, come, Percy Jackson. Let's meet the other campers.'

"That's the end of the chapter. Who's next?" Asked Artemis.

"I'll read next, Artemis." Volunteered Aphrodite. Artemis handed the book to goddess of love and went back to her throne.

As Artemis settled down, Aphrodite started.

"Chapter 6, I Become Supreme Lord of the Bathroom…"


A/N: And Annabeth appears! I've always wondered why Percy never introduces himself as Perseus and this is the possible reason that I came up with. What do you think? Review! :)
