Here is the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it

Percy's POV

I woke up with the worst headache that i have had in a very long time. Then I remembered everything that happened yesterday. At first, I was a bit surprised to see that Thalia was so strong that she could defeat a giant all by herself, well sort of. And then I remember my fight with giant. Annabeth is just as flexible as I remembered, although i was surprised to see that Annabeth got a lot stronger over the six months that she was here. Even though it hurt her two, she actually broke a 15 feet tall giant's nose. I know that I am stronger (not bragging, just saying the truth), but when i saw that she is strong, she is strong. Any other person (or demigod in this case) leg would have shattered, her only broke. Like I said, I was surprised, but then that feeling got replaced with pride and honoured. The reason why I'm honoured is because the girl that i have been best friends' with since, literally, birth trained extremely hard to get stronger than me at something, physically I mean. I mean, i have great upper body strength and all that, but If that was me, like i said earlier, my legs would have shattered like glass.

As i tried to stood up, my headache got worse and then i just remember what was the last thing I did before i passed out and then suddenly everything became clear. Why my body aches and why I have a killer headache. Athena told me that when i try sometime new (i haven't used it since i was nine and i could only grow a small plant back then so i gave up on it) and use a ton of energy at a sudden burst with cause the body severe consequences, like a huge headache or aching muscle.

I tried to focused on the power of hesita in me to try to ease the pain, it worked and all, but my body still hurt. Then i saw next to me some amborsia and some nectar. I ate the ambrosia quickly and I drank the nectar. It tasted like my mom's blue chocolate cookies. Then I sat up, putting my weight on my elbows and then i heard loud groaning next to me. I turned to where it came from, only to find Annabeth next to me. she absolutely exhausted. Then i noticed that we were in a forest in with a fire next to us and a little pond to the corner of my eye and me and Annabeth were both in sleeping bags. As I sat up fully, Annabeth eyes opened and then she groaned even louder and i could relate. So i got up and went to her and the sat next to her. then i lifted her head and then set it on my lap. Then her eyes started to slowly open. When she had her vision back, she smiled and then I pushed her blond air out of her eyes.

"hey wise girl, how are you feeling" i said while staring into her stormy grey eyes. Then she tried to move, but groaned the second she tried.

"i would feel a lot better if you could heal me, i mean i would take ambrosia and nectar, but i don't know how much time I was out and before I passed out, i took a lot" She said. then I nodded and then i took the blanket off of her.

she had a lot of cuts on her feet, was lightly covered in dust and dirt and had some banages on her. I took of the bandages and saw she had cuts. Then i turned and i saw some a glass of water next to my bed. I got up, before putting her head back gently so i wouldn't hurt her, and went to get it. i poured the water into a glass and then i went to Annabeth bed. As i came back to Annabeth she then nodded and then closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were sea-green. Then i threw the water all over her body and then all of the cuts and bruises disappeared almost immediately.

She got of the bed and stretched and closed her eyes shut as she did that. At that second she was instantly dry When she opened them again, her eyes were the stormy grey colour that she was born with.

'no matter how many times i do that, it will never get old' she said and then she laughed. Then I looked down to see that i was worse. She came over to me and then grabbed the glass that the water was in and then put it over my head and ducked the water all over me. Suddenly I was completely free of cuts and my headache was gone. Thank my dad for that. Then she gave me a hug. I blushed at first, but then she started to glow a yellowish-orange colour and my body instantly started to feel warm, really warm but it felt extremely nice. When we separated, my cloths look good as new and even my hair was done. Then I noticed that her eyes widen a lot and then she started to blushed furiously, but she looked away believing that I haven't noticed it. but hey, when you use your ADHD to actually focus, you get to noticed even the tiniest thing (even if she is better at me at that, but hey i noticed it).Then i noticed that she was still completely covered in dust and dirt, her clothes were wrinkled and her hair was messy.

I decided to return the favour. I went up to her and gave her a hug from behind. I could feel her blushing like a tomato and i bet that I wasn't any different. But then I focused the power of hearth in me and then she started to glow a bit, like what she did with me. When the glow subsided, i let go of her and then she turned around and i saw to all the gods that have trained me that my heart skipped a bit and i felt my jaw dropped to the floor.

Her hair was completely straight and it went onto her back, her cloth looked as new, with a camp t-shirt with indigo colored jeans and black sneakers. I couldn't help but blush at the beautiful sight before me. But the best part was that she had make-up on and everything. From lipstick all the way to mascara. Then she turned as red as a tomato and then looked away.

"w-why are y-you staring a-at me like that" she said stuttering, still blushing like a tomato

'you're wearing make-up' i said as calmly as i could. Then her eyes widen

"WHAT" she yelled. The next I knew, she was ran to the pond and the waved her hands. Then she had her hands all over her face, touching eye eyes, lips and so on. Then she got up and glared at me.

'What Did You Do To Me' she half yelled at me as she came to me. We were close enough for our lips to touch. I could feel her breath on my face, but she was a bit too angry to noticed.

'i swear that all i did to you was use the power of Hestia to get rid of the dirt and dust, and do the exact same thing you did to me. I swear and becides, i know that you hate to wear make-up' i said. i believe after knowing your best friend ever since you were born, you would know that Person, wouldn't you agree.

"i am going to see if Thalia or grover are anywhere nearby. With any luck, they are probably searching for food. I might as well go and help them" Annabeth said. i nodded in agreement and then she took off.

Just then I heard branches breaking and leaves moving. Annabeth got a dagger out and i got riptide out. Then when i was about to strike, Grover and Thalia came from the forest and they both had a lot of bags with them. When they saw me, their eyes widen

"What" i said annoyed

'how are you like that' Grover said still confused for some reason.

'i have no idea what you guys mean' I said truthfully. I swear, i have no idea what they are talking about.

"What he tries to say is that how are you heality as if nothing ever happened." Thalia said before she continued "When woke up this morning, you and Annabeth were both incredibly hurt and bruised. So we patch you up but we didn't have enough material so we grabbed some mortal so we can go buy some medicine, patches and some food but apparently you guys don't need it" Thalia said as sat down on the floor next to the fire and then laid back and groaned.

'we found a town nearby and we were able to find you guys what you need but you guys looks good as new. What happened when we were gone' grover said as he sat down next to me. Just then Annabeth came back from somewhere.

"well all I did was go into the pond" i said lying, but a believable one, since they know that I am the son of Poseidon.

"yeah but still h-" Thalia started to say when she was cut off by Annabeth

'Percy i couldn't find them any- oh you guys are already here and you have food. That great' Annabeth as she came into sight. The moment she appeared, thalia gasped so loudly that we thought she lost breathing for a second. Then grover looked at her and then both of their eyes widen than before

'What. Why are you guys staring at me like t-' she started to say, but then she remember that she forgot to take of the make-up that somehow magically appeared.

"y-you're w-wearing make-up" thalia said stuttering. Then Annabeth groaned really loudly

"Don't remind me" Annabeth said as she sat down

'ok i understand that Percy looks like that because of the water, but how on earth how you looking like that?' thalia said.

Annabeth opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment, her stormy grey eyes rolled to the back of her head and then she passed out.

"Annabeth, oh my gods are you ok" thalia said as she ran to her. I was about to go their when suddenly like i felt like all of my energy was being sucked out of me and then at one point, i lost so much of my energy that my eyes rolled out to the back of head and then i passed out. The last thing i heard while stil conscious was Grover and Thalia screaming my name.

Percy's dream.

The next think that i knew, I was in a very big room with ancient greek designs and a huge door that has the same colour of celestial bronze. Then I turn around and i immediately knew where I was. When i turned around, i saw fourteen throne, each with different designs. Yeah you guys heard me right. About the time when i was born, Zeus decided that he should get along with his brothers and the first thing that he did was to make Hades an Olympian. Not only Hades, but Hestia was made a Olympian and I know all of this is because Athena told me.

I heard a something that i couldn't make out and when i turned to it, can you guys guess who it was. Yup, all of you guessed it. Right there was the one and only Annabeth chase. Then she saw me and started to blink rapidly and then she looked around. After about 4 seconds, she said

'seaweed brain, do you know why we are in the throne room of the gods?' Annabeth asked calmly. I shrudded my shoulders and then i said

"i have no idea. One minute,we are talking with grover and Thalia, then suddenly i felt as if all of my energy was being realized and the next thing I knew, I am here with you in the throne room of the gods" she nodded in agreement like the same thing happened to her.

I turned around to the door, for the reason I don't know, but I saw a light and Annabeth told me to close my eyes. Annabeth and I both closed our eyes. Then after about a minute or so, I felt eyes on me and then i opened my eyes slowly, just in case. When i didn't see anything bright, i opened my eyes completely and in front of me was Athena and aunt Hestia. I elbowed Annabeth, weakly and then she opened her eyes.

"Mom, aunt Hestia. What are we doing here and did seaweed brain and I both passed out before we came here?" Annabeth asked. I laughed at that question; because she couldn't help but use my nickname.

"Well you see, we just wanted to warn you guys and to give you advice" Hestia said, then Athena continued.

'as for how you guys are here. It is actually quiet simple. We both summoned you here, but it cause you to pass out, so basically, we knocked you out and you're dreaming. sorry if it caused the both of you pain' Athena said calmly.

"its ok mom, we yboth know that you didn't mean to hurt us. Isn't that right seaweed brain." Annabeth said, glaring at me to agree

'yeah, right.' I said truthfully. I know that these guys wouldn't never try to hurt us on purpose without a very,very good reason, especially Annabeth. then i continued. 'you guys told us that you want to warn us about something and to give us advice, right' then they both

"You see, we were both checking on you two, so we can see you're process and I must say that both of you got stronger, especially you Annabeth. When you kicked that giant in the nose and broke it, I was extremely proud to call you my daughter, even if you got your leg broken" Athena said to Annabeth. Then Annabeth blushed a bit, but Athena continued "Anyway, after checking on you, we both learned that you guys are in Pennsylvania and that you guys are being hunted by the gorgon Medusa" Athena informed u

'wait you mean the Medusa. The one that turned other living thing into stone other just by looking into her eyes. That medusa" Annabeth said. Leave it to Annabeth to know absolutely everything. I couldn't help but laugh at that.

''yes dear. The exact same one. Well i guess you already know the warning." Hestia said.

''You said that you were going to give use some advice about this ?" i said and then both of the goddesses nodded.

"The advice that we wanted to give you, well we can't tell you the answers, but we can only tell you that i found something in one y books about monsters, and then I found a section all about medusa powers. Her power doesn't turn people to stone." Athena starts. For the first time in my life since i have known Annabeth, i haven't never seen her confused, about anything

"mom, please don't take this the wrong way, but what in the world of the gods is that suppose to mean?" Annabeth said calmly. If it were anyone else, Athena would have pulverize them all the way to Hades, but since it is her daughter and since I know very well that she just said that out of curiosity. I do admit that want to know what she was talking about. Then Athena laughed at that and then continued,

".Ok let me start from the beginning. You that if you now look at her eyes, you turn to stone right, well her power is a lot more complicated than that. You see, when you look into her eyes, they literally look deep inside your spirit and then she completely shattered it and without your spirit, well you know the rest." Athena said. i was completely surprised and by the look at Annabeth she had when I turned to her, so was she. There was a silence, to let it all in, until Annabeth said,

Not that i don't appreciate the new knowledge, but what does it have to do with anything' then Athena did another laugh.

"Come on you guys think, i did bless the both you, so use my gift" then Annabeth and I both put on our thinking faces on and you know when in cartoons when the character finally figure out something and then a big, bright light bulb appears above their head, i swear to all the gods that i have known since birth that one appeared above my head.

'if she looks into your spirit and then shatters it then that means that' i started but I was cut off by Annabeth

"the stronger the spirit, the harder it is to be turned to be turned stone and if the spirit is strong enough, it would be impossible for the spirit to be broken, meaning that that person, creature or god would be completely immune to it" then the both of them nodded and then Hestia continued

'and what god do you think has the will strong enough to be immune' it only took me a few seconds to figure it out. I opened the my month to say the answer, but like always, Annabeth beat me to it.

"hera." Then they both nodded and then Annabeth was going to continue, but this time, i cut her off

"hera has been known for for having magic more powerful than the big three combine and i believe to hold that much power, even if you're a god, would drive you insane, unless you have the will powerful enough to be able to hold it all" All of them look at me with surprised expression. By the look Annabeth got, I believe that she put it all together, but before she said anything, She came up to me, put her arms at my shoulders and then started to study my face. It was really unconformable

"What?" i said in a rather annoyed manner.

"Just making sure that your eyes didn't change into stormy grey" she said still studying my face, or my eyes in this case

"Hey, i can be smart all by myself you know" i said back to her. then I heard Athena and Hestia laughed at our little show.

'You two are great together, you know that' Athena said winking at me. For once in my life, I couldn't tell who was more red, me or Annabeth. Annabeth and I looked at everything but each other. Both of the goddess laughed at this.

"Anyway, Annabeth, I know that you were going to say something earlier before your little scene with our little champion over here, right" Hestia said. then Annabeth and i blushed even more and then she nodded.

'well i gained a theory, but it is extremely dangerous and an idiot would be to try it' she said then Athena made a hand gesture, for her to continue.

'if Hera has an unbelievable will that not even medusa can break then doesn't that mean that since we were blessed with hera, doesn't that mean that we inherited her unbelievable will.' Then Athena came over to Annabeth and tapped her nose, letting us know that she was correct. But she said it anyway

"yes, you're correct. Although Annabeth, you would have a better chance at blocking off her 'spell' than our young percy here" then Annabeth raised an eyebrow and then Athena continued

'You see, when percy was born, percy was given her powers, meaning he has a very strong will, but you see Annabeth, when you got blessed by hera, she specifically said a strong will, so since she blessed you her will rather than transfer, therefore your will is a lot stronger than his' Hestia said. Annabeth nodded and then Athena smiled proudly at her daughter, so did I. Then Athena went to give Annabeth a bone crushing hug, and when I lay mean bone crushing i mean Bone crusing. After Annabeth returned the hug, i heard some of Athena's bones crack. Then Annabeth let go of her quick and then she apologized for hurting her.

"Its alright daughter, it hurt but i am alright. I understand completely that you didn't mean to. You're growing into a very strong women and mean this is both ways." Athena said. Annabeth blushed a bit, but she stilled apologized again. Typical wisegirl i thought. But then something important dawned on me.

'but wait i have one more question about all of this' I said after the whole scene. Then both of them turned to me and then Hestia said,

"what is your question perseus" i shivered when she used my full name, but i learned a while ago, that no matter what, you should never a question a god, not unless without an extremely god reason, so i let it slide.

"how are you guys helping us. Don't the ancient laws forebid the gods from helping any demigod on a quest" i said questionly.

'well you see percy, we aren't allowed to help you guys directly, without having a titan involved in battle, but we still can help indirectly.' Athena started and then Hestia continued,

'And since this is a dream, we aren't helping you directly.' Then i nodded and then i heard a loud THUD that sounded somewhat like thundered.

"Oh that is our cue. You guys will be waking soon" Hestia said.

"Although it seems that we have talked for a long time, when you guys wake up, you might have been out for about 5 minutes." Athena said. then Annabeth turned to each other and then we nodded. Then we heard another thud and then everything went white, the last thing i heard before everything went pitch black were the voices of Athena and Hestia

"don't forget about your powers that the both of you were granted" The voice of Athena said

"and use them wisely" the voice of Hestia said

At campsite.

i felt like my body was being shaken. I gasped and opened my eyes open and then i heard someone else do the exact same thing. I was guessing that was Annabeth.

My vision was bit blurry at first then i rubbed my eyes and i saw grover in front of me. Then he gave me a bone crusing hug.

'can't...Breath' i said. almost immediately, grover let go of me and then i turned to where thalia was hugging Annabeth.

'what happen to you guys. One minute you guys were fine, then both of your eyes rolled to the back of your head and then the both of you were out cold for the last 5 minutes' Thalia half-yelled. To be honest, i kind of forgot how we were suppose to give them an explanation without having to tell them more than what they need, or suppose, to know.

'i guess that the battle with the giant cause more damage to our bodies than the both of you guys. I think we all eat something and then the four of us should get some sleep, it is getting dark and we are gonna need it for tomorrow' Annabeth said confident. She sounded so convincing that if I didn't know the truth, i would have believe her. Then Grover and Thalia nodded. I gave a mental sigh that they both of them believed her.

After we ate hamburgers and fries (even though grover said that that was a crime to all of nature, we all told him to shut up and to be eat his tofu. Believe me when i say that that stuff if gross), the four of us set up tents and thalia wanted to bunk with Annabeth. Then she looked a me with a questionable expression that said are you gonna be ok if i stayed with her and then i gave back an expression that seem to say of course, why wouldn't i be. She must have gotten it because she nodded and told Thaila that she would love too. I told grover if he wanted sleep with me and he agreed. Afterward we set it up, i blew out the fire and then the four of us went to our tents. But before I got there i heard Annabeth say

"good night seaweed brain." I chucked to myself and then I whispered back to her (she has super hearing remember)

"have a good night Wisegirl. Sweet dreams." After i said that I went inside my tent and then i saw grover on his sleeping bag, already sleeping. I laughed at that and then i went to my sleeping bag. It took a while, but I finally got to sleep and the whole night, it was dreamless. Well, i did dream about a certain grey eyes best friend of mine.

There is the chapter. Man, percy (or as Annabeth calls him, seaweed brain) sure is smart. Also, sorry that there wasn't any action in this chapter. I just wanted them to relax a bit after their battle with the giants, but i swear on the river styx that the next one will. So again, you guys now the deal, What you did you guys think of the chapter, plz review.
