I stopped when I arrived at my destination. I looked around and smiled. I stepped into the small clearing, and down into the water of the creek. Where my wounds had first healed instantly. When I found out who I was. When I was claimed by the God of the Sea. When my life changed the most; when I discovered that my father was Poseidon.

"Go to the game,

Where we discovered your life would never be the same…"

I had found out that part. But now for the beginning:

"It will be waiting in an obvious spot,

For something that maybe you forgot.

You will have to look hard…"

So, it was around here. Somewhere. In an obvious spot, but I would have to look hard. She probably just wrote that because I was a Seaweed Brain. But, since she was the Wise Girl, she had probably hidden it somewhere very complicated. "It" being whatever I was looking for, which I had no idea what it was.

I looked around the clearing and knelt by the creek where I had been claimed. I sighed; I didn't see anything. Not yet, at least. I walked around, looking everywhere; every tree and rock and part of the creek that was nearby. This had to be the spot where I was supposed to be looking. I could tell. I could feel it. It was right. But what was I looking for? And where was it?
I looked up at the night sky and wondered if I should wait until morning.

But I'm so close, I thought, I can't wait until tomorrow. I squinted into the darkness around me. There was no sign of anything there, though. I sight and sat back against a tree. I started up at the stars and tried to think.

If I was Wise Girl, where would I try to hide something? The answer was on the paper; somewhere obvious but hard to find. I guessed that that meant once I found it, I would think about how obvious it was. Or something. I finally closed my eyes and rested my head against the rough bark. Just to rest my eyes for a minute, and to ponder in my defeat.

When I opened my eyes, it was even darker. I had fallen asleep, and now the stars weren't even visible. It was as if darkness had enveloped me.

I stood up but still leaned against the trunk. I blinked, trying to focus my eyes in the darkness. I finally remembered where I was and what I was doing. And that I had been sleeping in the forest. Great. I blinked again, but I still couldn't see much, and stumbled forward. I heard a splash and felt my foot get struck by the cold water of the creek.

Crap. I focused my mind to make a barrier around my foot and pulled it out, completely dry. I couldn't really tell exactly where I was or which way to go, so I decided to sit back down and wait until morning to try leaving. Or to search for what I was looking for again.

My eyes flickered open. I jumped up instantly, my heart pounding. Then, I realized where I was and looked around at my surroundings. The sun was overhead, making everything bright and warm, sending shadows from the trees flicking across my body. I yawned and wiped my eyes. I looked down at the river a few feet away and remembered why I was here. It was time to look again.

I started to search around. I saw nothing at all. Other than everything that was naturally there. Was I in the right place? I had to be. Just when I started to give up and turn back, my foot hit something. I hoped it was what I was looking for, my heart leaping, and I glanced down. I sighed. It was just a rock…

I began to walk away, but for some reason I turned back and looked down at the rock again. I didn't know why I looked back, but it was a good thing I did. I noticed that it was a trail of rocks…leading back to the river. I raised an eyebrow and walked back, following the trail. When I got to the river, the trail ended. The word 'Percy' was carved into the dirt with an arrow pointing into the river. My eyes widened and I kneeled by the word and looked into the water. At first I didn't see anything, but then I saw it. There was a piece of paper being held down by a rock at the bottom of the shallow river. The current was pulling against it, trying to pull it free. I reached into the water, just as the paper almost escaped. I grabbed the piece of folded paper, my eyes widening. I pulled it free from the rock, amazed that it was as dry as my hand in the river. I had no idea how it was dry, but I decided not to question Annabeth's ways. She had to have some explanation, so maybe I'd ask her later. Maybe somehow she had somehow gotten Poseidon on her side and convinced him to help. I didn't know.

I pulled the dry piece of paper out of the river and unfolded it with a smile.
