What's up?! It's Captain Skippy and I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackkk!!!!!!! I know I've been gone for a while but I've been so busy and have had zero inspiration. So I hope to get back on track with this story I'll try and make it as long as possible! Again I apologize for my unexpected absence!
Percy's POV:
Having the god's angry with me was nothing new. Between Hades, Ares, and Zeus angry gods didn't affect me, but my girlfriends mom (who was also my dad's worst enemy) was enough to send shivers down my spine. I felt Annabeth draw away from me and I let her go. This was something she and her mom needed to work out, I was just here in case things got ugly although I'm not sure what I would do if Athena went nuts and attacked us…
Annabeth was standing rigid rooted to her spot on the ground. Athena approached with actual fire burning in her eyes.
"Mother, I want my identity back! You had no reason to take it away in the first place!" Annabeth yelled accusingly at her mother.
"I don't see why I should give my daughter something she wants if she refuses to obey me." Athena retorted.
"Yes because you've been such a wonderful mother in the past, leaving me to fend for myself and whatnot." Annabeth said icily. This was not going well. The whole you're-a-bad-parent was one of the worst things to pull on your immortal parent but sometimes it would work. I could see the fire in Athena's eyes grow larger engulfing her entire pupil. It got to the point where I could actually smell the smoke. Even Hades shifted uncomfortably on his throne.
"You know I have done everything I possibly could for you. You were mm favorite." Athena retorted emphasizing the fact that Annabeth no longer was the favorite.
"But I haven't done anything wrong. All I did was fall in love." Annabeth said turning to me reaching out her hand. I quickly came up and grabbed it reassuringly.
"You fell in love with my enemy's son. In a nutshell you've betrayed me." Athena hissed. At this point Hades cleared his throat and said,
"Not to stop the love fest but I have something that needs to be said. Annabeth's identity isn't here." I turned to Hades with a look of shock portrayed on my face which was mirrored by Annabeth.
"Then where is it?" Annabeth demanded. By this point I was getting pretty agitated. Do all of the gods hate me all of a sudden?
"You see," Hades began, "When I received your identity I knew something bad was going to ensue and I did not want it happening in my realm so I sent it to the temple of Athena in Athens." My mouth fell open. We had traveled this far and now we had to travel to Europe to get her identity back. I loved Annabeth but just how much was starting to be tested. A trip to Europe was expensive and I was really pushing my gas money with the trip here.
"So I have to travel half way around the world to get my identity back?" Annabeth asked softly. I could hear her voice quiver and at that moment I decided I would do whatever it took to get her identity back even if it mean traveling all over the world I'd do it so she would be happy. But I wasn't about to leave without saying something to Athena.
"Hay Athena!" I yelled getting her attention, "Before I leave with your daughter to get her identity back I'd like to say something to you." Annabeth whirled around and gave me a warning look. I paid no heed to it and continued without fear, "I don't know what your deal is with me, I'm not my father and have never done anything to insult you like my father did so I'm going to ask, what did I do that gave you the reason to hate me so much?"
Athena just stood their rooted to the ground began to quiver in rage. I stood defiantly in front of her and she still couldn't give me an answer.
"That's what I thought," I said as I turned around and led Annabeth back to the entrance of the underworld.
"Percy that was probably the dumbest, bravest thing you've ever done for me." Annabeth said softly to me. I looked down and brushed against her lips briefly and replied,
"Anything for you. So are you ready to visit Athens?" She looked up at me with a fierce grin on her face and said,
"As long as you're there I'm ready for anything."
