Hey. How is all of y'all? I apologize for my horrible grammar. No it isnt always this horrible. I have no idea why i keep talking. Hey, do you wanna know a fun fact? I like giraffes. I just felt like saying oh and i have a Percy jackson Joke (wat other kind of joke would it be, really?!) . I shall be featured at the bottom of dat page in ma authors note, but as of now! Onward! And Happy Easter.

Through all my years of being a half-blood. I have never shadow travelled. Once. It is a strange sensation. I strange, horrible sensation. To put it in simpler terms. I absolutely hate shadow travelling. I feel cold shivers up my spine, and i suppose i am used to the dark though. Days in Tartarus will do that. Good job, Annabeth. Was it necessary to think of Tartarus while shadow travelling? Every strange noise i hear, makes me automatically want to reach for my dagger, to reach out and wave my knife around, fending off any danger. But, doing that would only result in the loss of my dagger. My face felt as though it was peeling off with the intense speed.

Finally, the shadows drifted away, and i found myself standing at the edge of a busy road, wait, the highway.

"The I-79. Straight to Pittsburgh." Thalia states.

Across the highway, I could see a shopping mall, a large one, a very large one. Bustling with thousands of different people, each carrying an excessive amount of shopping bags.

"Hey, Aphrodite." Thalia turns to Piper, who has appeared with the others. "No, shopping. This is a time sensitive mis-"

Thalia was cut off by a deep growl. They slowly turned. Three telkhines were standing by them.

"Don't. Even. try." One growls at us. I can only assume he means don't try to get into the shoe warehouse, which i have already spotted, just a little ways behind the mall.

Jason laughs. "You really think you can intimidate us? There are three of you, and what? Eight of us. Try again buddy. Now, leave us alone, and we won't have to disintegrate you."

The telkhine lets out a laugh that sounds more like a bark, and as soon as he does, more figures appear out of the trees. Quite a few, appear actually.

Three dracaenae slither out of the trees, followed by two laistrygonian giants, four hellhounds prowled out, and to top it all off, a stunning emposai wearing a tight red dress.

I look at Percy and he nods. Quick as a flash, i reach for my dagger and stab the first two telkhines, Percy gets the third.

"Well." I state. " Three down, Ten to go."

And cheer rest. Ok sorry about that. P.s i just think that annabeth rocks at the . dont you?

and for the joke?

At what temperature does Kronos like his water?

Oh that is rich. Ok im sorry about that. I just thought it was hilarious. But, nobody else did. You know what? Who cares. I have a strange sense of humour anyway. I just find things so funny. when...nobody else does. so half the time i just laugh all by my lonesome. I have absolutely no idea why i just said that. Im going to shut up now. Goodnight, you padawan.
