A/N: Ok, thanks for all of your kind and wonderful reviews. I really appreciate each and every one of them.
OK: I know this is kind of forced but I really want them to start going on their quest.
Percy's POV:
It went on like this for a week or so. Annabeth would go to the Parthenon and help with the blue prints. She came home everyday talking a lot about the buildings and new construction. I, on the other hand would either go out to help Ciro and Niketas build their boat or help Thereon in the fields.
Where ever Annabeth or I went, we looked for any clue of time travel, hoping to go back to where we came from. One night we even tried to IM the Gods or Chiron, but it wouldn't get through. Thereon and Adonia even tried but nothing happened for them either.
One day after picking wheat in the field with Thereon, Adonia drove the cart home with Annabeth in the back. She came out of the cart, tears prickling the sides of her face, grey eyes very sad.
"Percy, I want to go home." She hugged me and I kissed her forehead, holding her close. "I'll do anything." I squeezed her body next to me and looked into her eyes.
"What do you want to do?" I asked her and pushed some hair behind her ears.
"We need to try harder." She said and sniffled.
"Thereon, Adonia, we are leaving." I told them, flat out.
"Oh, dears, why?" She asked, a little concerned.
"We have looked everywhere and nothing has led us to the answer. Annabeth and I must consult the Gods." Thereon and Adonia led us inside to talk.
*OFFICIAL PAGE BREAK*
It was settled. We were to leave tomorrow morning. Thereon and Adonia were going to the market to get supplies for us while we rested and got ready for the quest.
When we woke up the next morning, it was time to say goodbye. Adonia shoved some food down our mouth as she scurried around the kitchen and stuffed loaves of bread and many pieces of fruit into one large barrel.
In the other barrel was a few spare clothes and two weapons hidden at the bottom. We all walked out of the house and to the road. I looked at two new horses tied to the wooden fence. One was all black and the other one was a dark brown with a blonde mane, spotted with brown like the coat.
"Poseidon and Athena." Thereon presented the horses and I smiled with glee.
A small voice erupted in my head.
"Son of Poseidon. Big DEAL. I bet he doesn't have any sugar cane." Athena, the brown one muttered.
"No, I like him! I like him a lot! But do you have any sugar cane, master?" Poseidon neighed.
"Maybe we will get some when we find some." I whispered to them. Poseidon became antsy to get on the road and find some treats.
I turned around to face Thereon and Adonia.
"And this is where we send two heroes off. Good luck, Perseus and Annabeth." Adonia said with a smile. She embraced us both with a hug and kissed the side of our face. Thereon hugged Annabeth and laid a hand on my shoulder. When he touched me, a spark came from his fingers.
"Goodbye, son of Poseidon. It was a pleasure having you in our home." Thereon smiled and helped us onto our horses. He slapped their back and got them moving down the road.
On our way out of town, I saw Niketas and wished him good luck.
"Goodbye! Thank you for everything!" he called as we started into a gallop out of town.
Leave? Check.
Find the Gods? Not exactly there…
