"No you wouldn't, judging from your aura I can tell that you are a demigod, and one thing I know is that monsters WILL come after you." She replied in a matter-of-fact tone. Percy looked at her incredulously, "Do I look like a half god to you?" he asked wondering if this girl had hit her head somewhere, "It can't be seen with mortal eyes, but let me ask you, do you have ADHD and dyslexia?" she asked, he gave her an unimpressed look, "I had ADHD and dyslexia from when I was born up till when I was five years old." He said, Kinzie looked baffled by this revelation, "How did that happen?" she asked, "Well…" he started before he froze causing Kinzie to give him a weird look, before he collapsed to the ground and began to convulse violently, Kinzie's eyes widened, suddenly he screamed and erupted into a bright sea green light.
NOW:
Percy's eyes fluttered open, he was in a cave, he was sure of that much, a dark damp cave, but regardless he could still see as clear as day in the darkness, he saw three young ladies sitting on wooden chairs, it seemed that they were knitting, or at least were knitting for some time and then got bored considering the fact that were just holding the knitting equipment with bored expressions on their faces. He kept a neutral expression on his face, but on the inside he was on edge, sure he had been to caves when on missions but there was something about this particular cave that screamed danger. "Perseus Jackson" the lady in the middle began, "Its Percy Jackson, if you're going to perform the 'mysterious person that knows my name' act, you have to at least get my name right." Percy interrupted, "I told you he was sassy" the lady on the right mumbled, but Percy heard it causing a small frown to appear on his face, "Did you just call me…" he began, "This is not the time to be squabbling over names." The lady on the left cut him off, "I am Lachesis, and these are my sisters Clotho.." she said gesturing to the middle lady, "and Atropos." She finished referring to the last lady, "And we are the…", "Fates, daughters of Ananke." He finished, "It seems that you are quite fluent with your Greek history." Clotho said looking slightly impressed, he shrugged "Its always been there, don't know how but I suspect it's associated with me being a 'demigod' as you put it" he said using air quotes to emphasize the word.
"Yes you are a demigod, a powerful one at that, you had a great destiny to fulfill, a destiny greater than that of your half brother, but those blasted mortals have interfered with fate and as such have made your already difficult challenges even more difficult." Lachesis said gravely. Percy was a bit surprised at that information but he hid it quite well, he had a reputation as badass to keep, and looking like a confused school kid wouldn't do well to help that rep, no it won't, "I see, but why are you telling me this." He asked with a raised eyebrow, the ladies of fate of shuffled nervously, "Due to the difficulty of your challenges we have infused your body with the essence of a Helixean being, a race of sentient beings that existed through out the universe before the birth of Chaos by her parents Helix and Balance". Now Percy was definitely interested in this conversation, "What happened to them." He asked, "Due to the fact that the Helixean beings were created by Helix without the help of his wife, they were a bit weak, powerful but weak in comparison to the power of the two first beings, which meant that the combined power of both Helix and Balance would wipe them out, Balance knew this, and due to the fact that her husband had children without her she was jealous and so one day she insisted she wanted a child born of herself and Helix combined, naturally Helix didn't know what to do since they both didn't know what sex was. But after a few millennia, Balance found a way and hence made love to Helix that day, the result of their union led to the conception of Chaos who the backlash of her being born wiped out the Helixean beings leaving just a few pieces of their body parts floating about in space." Atropos said, Percy let out a breath, "Wow, that's some history lesson don't you think?" he asked with a small grin on his face. "Indeed, but we are not here to learn history, you will soon wake up, due to the fact that you have been infused with the essence of a Helixean being, some new powers have already been added to your ever growing power pool, we don't know all of them, but one of them is dimension travel, it will help you in your future endeavours, and a note of warning, use your powers wisely or else you might just incite the wrath of Lady Chaos upon yourself, this infusion process is a secret between us, not even our grandmother Chaos knows about it, so beware."
Suddenly Percy began to glow, he immediately knew that it was a sign that he was about to wake up, "Wait I have one more question." He said, the sisters looked at each other before shrugging, "Go ahead." Lachesis said, "I thought that the fates were old ladies?" he asked, the daughters of Ananke rolled their eyes, "We decided to have a makeover." They all said at the same time." Then with a loud pop Percy woke up.
Percy blinked to get used to the sudden brightness, it wasn't painful like before, but it had become a reflex action. He looked around, he was on a bed in a bedroom, he saw the girl who had brought him to her house, sleeping on a chair, she must have been watching over him, he was touched by the fact that she was watching over him, but he would never say that out loud, he had a reputation as a douchebag and he also intended to keep that reputation as well. He stood up and walked over to her, he tapped her and she suddenly snapped awake throwing a punch at him, of course he saw the punch coming even before he woke her up so when she punched he simply stepped back, "Jeez are you trying to break my nose?" he asked, she blinked away the sleep away from her eyes, "Oh it's you, you really have to stop fainting." She stated bluntly, he scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment but didn't show it. "Look I want to thank you for housing me despite not knowing who I was, that was very kind of you." He said with difficulty. She raised her eyebrow at his tone, she could tell that thanking people wasn't his forte but she dismissed that thought, "You know, if you want to thank me properly you can tell me just exactly who you are." She said nonchalantly, he rolled his eyes at her, of course that's what she would want to know, "Well if you must know my name is Percy Jackson" he said with a small bow, she rolled her eyes but her lips twitched upwards into a small smile, "Kinzie" she said simply, "Well It was a pleasure to meet your acquaintance Kinzie, but now I must go, I will keep in touch" and with that he took off in a sea green blur of speed, she blinked, how the hell did he do that?. She rubbed her forehead, she needed a nap, suddenly a thought struck her, how was he going to keep in touch without her number?.
As Percy blurred through the streets of the City which he had identified as Salt Lake City, he thought back to his discussion with the fates, they said something about dimension travel and how it would help him, well time to try it out. He concentrated and accessed his massive power pool, he sorted through his list of powers, and after a while he found the right power and activated it.
He began to glow a bright sea green and midnight black, he felt himself begin to dissolve, and with a loud swooshing noise he fizzled out of sight.
