Kay, first up, aljaira, I thank you for being the first one to review any of my work, but please wait, 'cause it's going to get better(I think). Also I will be asking for some pairing choices, but this is strictly Pertemis.

Percy POV

I hate my life. I hate the gods, I hate camp, most of all, I hate my half-brother, Micheal. He stole everything from me. All my friends abandoned me, blaming me for things I didn't do. Right now, I'm running through a forest with monsters chasing me. Really, can't I get a break? I spotted a lake to the right. Finally, some water! I jumped in, immediately going into a flashback.

On the beach near camp:

"Wise Girl, I need to go for about some time, your mom gave me a quest to retrieve something." I said, still watching the tides.

"Okay, but you better not die on me, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth replied, leaning against me.

"I think that's fair."

Suddenly the conch horn blew. A boy was running, chased by the smallest hellhound I've ever seen. I sighed, taking my pen from my pocket and standing up. Seriously, it was a BABY hellhound. Basically a dog. I quickly killed it and returned to the border. Meanwhile the boy was speaking to a crowd of campers. As I got closer, I could hear what he was saying.

"I defeated that huge dog by myself, with NO training, while this guy was standing there."

I instantly hated him for that. I mean, who does this kid think he is? Clarisse, however, wasn't so easily fooled.

"Oh yeah, then how Prissy has the sword?" She replied, with me sending her a thankful smile.

"He took it back."

The younger campers were looking at me with anger, while the older ones just sighed and left. I went down to the beach, to see my Wise Girl. She was actually at her cabin, looking over blueprints. "Annabeth, how's the redesign coming along?"

"Good."

"Okay, I'm gonna have to go now."

"Be safe, Percy." She said, while giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Will do."
