Chapter 10 – discussions
On the drive we stopped at the coast of Los Angeles where we all stepped out and walked along the beach, "one of the advantages of having a god as your brother Perce. I can hide your scent." I said smiling at them as Annabeth and Percy walked arm in arm down the beach. We sat on the sand and looked out to sea. I made some dolphins swim past out by the pier as we all sat there with our loved one. Thalia broke the peaceful scene by talking in my head, "What will happen to our cabin? Are we going to have kids with mortals to occupy the cabin?" I looked into her beautiful electric eyes for a while, "it's up to you, T. I don't mind." She leaned her head on my chest and responded. "One year me, one year you, one year us?" I smiled and kissed her head, "sounds like a plan. Shall we tell them they are going to soon be an aunt and uncle to our kids?" Thalia spoke up, "hey guys." They both looked up from their little romantic moment they were having, "It's not going to happen straight away but, how do you guys feel about being aunts and uncles some day?" Annabeth made a little high pitched squeal and hugged Thalia, "I will take that as a yes." I laughed as Percy was starting to get up, "come on, it's getting towards sunset, we need to get back to camp." He helped Annabeth up and kissed her when she was eye level. I did the same, and clicked my fingers. We appeared in front of our cars. I opened the door for Thalia and Percy did the same for Annabeth. Before we left I asked Percy, "camp or home. We can tell mum?" Percy hesitated looking at Annabeth prompting him for home in her head. "Home." He said after a while and kissed Annabeth on the lips. We mist traveled home.
We appeared outside their apartment and stepped out of the car and walked to the door. Thalia knocked as Annabeth was wrapping her arms around Percy from behind. Paul answered the door seeing the four of us with big grins on our faces. He welcomed us in and we saw mum sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw us she turned it off and came over to greet us, "mum we have some news." Percy started. Annabeth leaned her head on his shoulder, and held his hand. "I'm so happy for you both!" she said hugging them and kissing them both on the forehead, Paul shook Annabeth's hand and patted Percy on the back. "Mum, you're probably going to hate me when I tell you this." She looked at me then at Paul, "Why? what have you done?" Paul asked with a smile. Thalia took my hand, "Thalia and I are minor gods of Olympus…" Silence. My mother broke down in tears and hugged the two of us, while Paul stood there speechless. "Are you two happy together and as gods?" She asked in between tears. "Very." We both responded at the same time. Paul broke his silence, "Well I can't tell you off now otherwise you would kill Me." he joked. We all laughed, "Don't be stupid, I wouldn't do that. You guys are family!" we sat around for another 5 minutes talking until we had to go. We said our goodbyes and got back in the cars. "Thalia I have to go back to my camp to tell everyone, you can come with more or go back with them with my car, I don't mind." I kissed her on the lips, "I think I'll come with you." She said kissing me again.
We appeared at camp half-blood at Battersea starting everyone as it was dinner time. "Campers!" I said at the top of my voice. Everyone quietened down. "You all remember Thalia?" Everyone nodded their head, "good because you might be seeing her more often, Poseidon won't be looking after the camp as much anymore we will be. Thalia and I are minor gods of Olympus and before you do, don't kneel." I said with a smile on my face. Thalia said a little speech in her part and I ended it with waving my hand and improving the camp like I did at other camp. I continued, "I am now minor god of the Mist and Sea, known as The Guardian. Thalia is." "Goddess of clouds." She said demonstrating with a little rain cloud she had made in her hand. We sat around for a while until we had to go back to other camp, "seen as gods can be in different places at once, we can do the same. Part of us will stay here while the real ones are ever on Olympus or in the other camp." With that we finished the up at camp and mist traveled back to camp, while part of us stayed there, and we materialized in our cabin.
Well that concludes Arcs Story, he finally got the girl and got his wish. But there is more to come!
