Part IX – Athena

Athena frowned and stared at Percy Jackson. She was invisible to the mortal eye. He was sitting on the beach talking with her daughter. Percy Jackson, what secrets do you have?

Her grey eyes narrowed in thought. She was certain that Percy Jackson should have burned away. The very fact that he didn't means that he had been blessed by Nyx and Ouranos.

But that's impossible! Nyx is in Tartarus and- Her eyes widened. "No…" She quickly thought back. Nyx had vanished during the time when Tartarus had been defeated and Kronos started fighting with Percy. She had just slipped away.

Athena frowned darkly. Had Percy banished her as well, when he blocked and bound Tartarus back again? She didn't know. No one knew. Athena stared intently at the son of Poseidon. He was holding secrets. Dangerous ones.

And she was going to find them all.

One by one.

She moved away, unaware that Percy was staring at the spot she had just been occupying.

Staring intently.
