Percy watched as Thalia departed and returned to her cabin for some rest, shoulders sagging. The rest of the hunters finished watching the emotional affair and started heading back to Artemis' cabin, grumbling about the camp as always.
Athena and Derek joined him soon after and we left on the boat which Poseidon had left them. As he willed the boat to move, he felt the same sinking feeling in his stomach as before- like he wouldn't be coming back for a long time.
"Woah, this boat is amazing! Everything that we would need is here." Derek said, interrupting his thoughts.
Somehow Percy knew exactly which cabin was his. He found it easily and as he entered, he noticed a letter on the table- a letter from his father.
"Dear Persues,
Good luck and please be careful on your quest. After this affair with Annabeth is over, you are welcome to join me in my empire under the sea. There's a choice which you have to make when you get there.
Your father,
Poseidon."
'A choice?' Percy wondered. He was nervous, but more than that, he was excited that he was finally going to get the chance to enter his father's undersea kingdom. His kingdom.
"Persues Jackson, you get out here right now!" He could hear Athena's voice all the way from the mast.
'This is 10 times worse then travelling with Annabeth,' Percy groaned to himself before he ran out to meet the rest.
"So, how long will it take to get there?" Derek asked Percy.
"About 12 hours- I'm travelling as quickly as this heap will allow, but the Princess Andromeda is incredibly far away. Don't worry Lady Athena, I won't get lost here- it's my home turf." Percy tried, but failed, to give her a reassuring smile.
Athena ignored him, choosing instead to focus on her mental search of Annabeth. Her favorite child
