~71 years later~
I watched as the waves kept going back and forth on the beach of Coney Island. I waited for Poseidon to show up since he said he had a favor to ask me. Honestly he could have just asked me over the Iris message, then again he looked worried so I'll let it go. After all, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here. After that fight with my sister, Hades found me and thought that Poseidon could help me and thankfully he did.
My eye is healing slowly but at least it is healing usually under normal circumstances I should be dead. But I was guessing it was because the fates still have things for me to do. So anyway I owed Poseidon a favor. I signed as I looked up at the sky and remembered my promise to Nico,
"Promise me We'll at least meet again, Please"
I felt like I could still hear his voice in my head. I missed the Di Angelo's so much but I knew that even if they were still alive they wouldn't remember me and that hurt so much. I signed as I wiped my face that's when I heard a voice behind,
"Are you alright Percy?" I heard him say and I turned to see Poseidon in his shorts and Hawaiian T-shirt. I nodded and smiled,
"Nothing big just memories of the past," I said and he nodded "so what's up Poseidon?" I asked him and he signed.
"I'm afraid it's a big favor and you can say no to it" he said and I nodded.
"I know but if it weren't for you, Hades and the fates I would be dead," I said "whatever it is I'm sure I can handle it" I said and he smiled and nodded.
"Well during the winter solstice Zeus and I had our normal argument but the thing is Zeus's master bolt was stolen at the winter solstice," he said and I was shocked "And he believes that I was the one who stole it" he finished and I was confused.
"But how's that possible a God isn't allowed to steal another Gods weapon?" I asked and he nodded.
"Yes but he believes that I had a demigod steal it for me" he said and I couldn't believe it.
"Really why, what do you get out of stealing Zeus's bolt?" I asked and he shrugged "I do not clam to know my brother Percy, all I know is that if his master bolt is not found by the summer solstice then war will come" he said and I looked down.
"This is were my favor comes in," he said "I would like you to accompany Athena's daughter and a satyr on their quest to retrieve it, if what Athena has told me is correct then they should in the outskirts of town by nightfall" he said and I nodded.
"So pretty much you want me to go to see if I can find out who really stole Zeus's bolt and Athena wants me to go so I can keep an eye on her daughter," I said and he nodded "Sounds easy enough, alright I'll do it" I said and he nodded.
"Thank you Percy" he said and I nodded before walking off. That is if Poseidon didn't stop me,
"One more think" he said and I looked at him "They believe Hades took the bolt" he said and I was confused.
"Who?" I asked and he looked down.
"The camp" he said and that surprised me.
"Why on earth would they believe Hades took the bolt?" I asked and he looked down.
"Well your sister isn't the only one who doesn't like Hades," he said and I frowned "A lot of people don't trust Hades and if me and Zeus fight then they assume Hades would take that moment to take control of Olympus" he said and I looked down.
"But you don't believe he did this?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Hades is many things but he is no thief it has to be someone else" he said and I nodded.
"I'll keep that in mind Poseidon" I said and finally walked away.
By the time I got there the sun was about to set and I didn't see anyone so I started looking around to see if I could see anyone. To be honest I feel dumb for not asking Poseidon what Grover and Annabeth look like. Anyway I continued walking until I saw a garden emporium, I looked at the sign and it said 'Aunty Em's garden emporium' I blinked at it and rolled my eye's I couldn't believe medusa actually did this.
I signed and was about to leave until I heard an explosion and I turned to see smoke over the horizon and I decided to go check it out. Once there I saw a bunch of people running back towards the city, that and I also saw Alecto and her two sisters.
"Alecto! What happened?" I asked her and she turned and looked at me.
Glacier it's been awhile she said and I nodded.
"To long my old friend," I said and she smiled "Now what on earth happened?" I asked her and she looked down.
The half-blood and the satyr that were taking this bus we encountered them and things got out of hand she said and I nodded.
"Actually I'm trying to track down a demigod and Satyr," I said and she nodded "do you know which way the ran off?" I asked and she pointed at the same direction I just came from.
I believe they ran that way she said and I nodded.
"Thank you Alecto I appreciate the help, also just call me Percy it's harder for my sister to track me with a different name" I said and she nodded.
As you wish but Percy why are you looking for those two? She asked and I smiled.
"Poseidon asked me to look for the master bolt and Athena wished for me to keep an eye on her daughter" I said and she nodded.
I understand, she said before looking at me would it be too much trouble to ask you to do us a favor? She asked and I shook my head.
"No what is it?" I asked.
It is Hades helm of Darkness it has been stolen she said and that surprised me.
"What?!" I asked "How can that be?" I asked her and she shook her head.
We do not know we figured those two may know she said and I nodded.
"Alright I'll be on the lookout for Hades helm" I told her and she nodded.
Thank you Percy she said before she flew off with her two sisters.
I ran off back to Auntie Em's Garden emporium to make sure they didn't actually go in. I made it back to see that the light was on, I checked the doors and I saw that the doors were locked. I climbed up the vines and I saw throw the window and I saw a girl was blond hair as well as a boy with curly brown hair. The girl was wearing a pink shirt with a grey jacket and she had a Yankee had in her back pocket, the Boy on the other hand was wearing some kind of yellow orange hat with a green t-shirt and normal jeans.
I looked to see an old woman giving them food. I had to get in there somehow and I needed to do that fast. I climbed down and went to the back door and saw that it was also locked but this time I just kicked the lock and I went inside. I walked and looked at all the poor souls that had to meet Medusa, whether it be young or old they all meet with a terrible fate.
I know I shouldn't at a time like this but I started thinking about Nico and Bianca and how they looked when I left them. They were so afraid and all I could do if protect them while they forget who I am, I shook my head remembering that it was better if they didn't remember me, it was better this way and safer. Anyway I continued inside until I was on a balcony and I saw Medusa talking to the two.
"Well, well what do we have here," I said and they turned around to look at me in surprise "If I had known you had guess I would have come sooner" I said and Medusa backed away and I saw the girl take out a knife and the boy took out some pipes.
"How are you?" the girl asked and I smirked.
"Now, now Annabeth daughter of Athena what would your mother say about fighting an old friend" I said and her eyes widen and I turned to the boy "And you must be Grover underwood" I said and he backed up.
"Who are you?" he asked and I looked up at Medusa.
"Why don't you ask Medusa?" I asked and they turned to the old woman who was smiling.
"Oh Glacier why can't you ever let me have any fun?" she asked and I shrugged.
"Because turning people into stone isn't nice" I said and she smiled again.
"But it's the only fun I get" she said.
"So wait that is my Uncle Ferdinand!" Grover shouted and Medusa laughed and started taking off her sunglasses and her head dress.
"Don't look!" Annabeth said and they ran and hide wile I looked down and hid behind the statues.
I went down and a started hearing for the others and to my surprise Annabeth was right next,
"Can you please explain to me who you are?" she asked and before I could answer we heard Medusa.
"Come out hero's, and stay with me forever" Medusa said and then I saw the bravest thing I've ever seen a satyr do. Grover somehow has flying shoes and he started swinging a stick at medusa with his eyes closed.
"Now he's a brave soul" I said before I turned to the sound of Annabeth's voice "I'll explain after we get read of her" I said and I think Annabeth nodded and we separated. I looked from a high point to see Grover crash into a tree,
"Well greatness must always end sooner or later" I said and he feel on the ground.
I watch as Medusa came closer to him but backed away as soon as things were being thrown at her and I was guessing that was Annabeth.
"Daughter of Athena stop hiding and just die" Medusa said and started going towards were the broken statue peace's were. I jumped down and took out my sword,
"Did you forget about me," I said and before she could react I took her head off and that was the end of that "Alright you two it's ok to open your eyes" I said.
Annabeth took off her hat and came towards me and Grover stud up and started rubbing his head.
"You alright Grover?" Annabeth asked and he nodded.
"I'm impressed most satyrs would have hide but not you," I said and he looked at me "You are one brave satyr Grover Underwood" I said and he blushed and smiled.
"Well thank you" he said and I nodded before turning to Annabeth,
"Ok now tell us," she said "Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Glacier crown prince of Baransu" I said and Annabeth looked confused but Grover gasped and bowed.
"Forgive Lord Glacier I didn't recognize you" he said and I raised a brow and Annabeth Looked confused.
"Who?" she asked and Grover stud up.
"This is Prince Glacier he was chosen by the fates to be the seer to chronicle the world and everything that happens," he said "Also he is on good turns with almost all the Gods" He said and she looked at me.
Granted it's not the whole story but it's good enough for now. I turned to Annabeth and nodded and she bowed.
"I'm sorry I was being rude" she said and I shook my head.
"You were not Annabeth" I said and she stud up.
"But Lord Glacier why are you here?" Grover asked and I smiled.
"I was sent by Poseidon and Athena to help you along your quest to find the master bolt," I said and they were shocked as I started walking "Also please call me Percy, all my friends do" I said as I grabbed Medusas head and went to her office and the two fallowed me. I got a package out and put her head in it and wrote a letter to Athena and took some drachma's and paid for it. In a flash it was gone,
"Alright we should probable leave," I said taking the rest of the drachma "wouldn't want more monsters coming yet" I said and they nodded and we left and went deeper in the forest.
