They stood at by the boat, well the mini cruise ship. The demigods and wizards were waiting for the gods.
"You know what you're doing?" Harry asked Percy
"No" Percy answered truthfully
"Then why should we accompany you?"
"Because if you stay at camp I can't guarantee that you'll be safe" Percy said "plus I want to keep an eye on Uncle Albus"
"Why do you call him Uncle Albus?"
"Old habit" Percy said "before I knew what he really is"
"Oh"
"He also gave Chiron the duty of keeping you guys safe, I guessed this way I could guarantee that you would be safe"
"We're not going to be wasted luggage. We can help with whatever you guys are doing"
Percy smiled, Harry acted like Percy used to "I know man"
"Do you even trust us?"
"I've learned not to trust anyone" Percy said with a blank face
"Me too mate…me too" Harry said staring off into the horizon
"Mom!" exclaimed Annabeth
Percy turned quickly. Seeing Athena he nodded his head respectively. Athena still didn't approve of Percy and Annabeth's relationship, it was best to get on the good side of her.
"Are we ready to leave?" asked Athena
"No, we're waiting for the others" Annabeth replied
"What others?" asked a voice from on deck
Percy jumped in fright, he turned to see Poseidon with a huge grin on his face. Behind Poseidon stood Artemis, Apollo and Aphrodite.
"it's time" said Percy
Just at that moment with blur flew past Percy, it landed on Harry's shoulder
"Hedwig!" Harry said delighted. Carefully stroking her beak he took out the envelope tied to her leg and gave her a quick snack.
Athena growled under her breath "You're treating her like the common animal" her tone was serious and menacing.
Slowly she stepped forward only to disappear and appear right in front of Harry.
Harry's body went stiff, Athena's glare bore down on him like a laser to his skull.
Athena held out her hand. Harry tried to keep a hold of Hedwig, but Hedwig flew to Athena. She landed on her hand looking lovingly up to Athena, but Athena's stare could wither a plant at sight.
"I...WILL…KILL…YOU" Athena growled, her tone gradually getting harder and colder "for that matter, I'll kill all of your race" she said turning to Hermione and Ron daring them to confess their possession of an owl.
"Cat" said Hermione quickly
"Rat" said Ron "Well, kind of"
"Hello Harry" said a voice "Good to see you again Percy"
Everyone turned to see Dumbledore smiling in his robes, not at all feeling out of place.
"Let's get going" Dumbledore said, taking the owl from Athena whilst giving a small bow to please her "what's the holdup?"
Percy laughed, this was the Uncle Albus he knew. He looked over at Harry, Percy's expression was mirrored in his eyes. Hiding underneath that was relief, Percy could feel it too. It wouldn't have been good if Athena started killing the wizards.
