Ethan's father is not Poseidon, but has a relation to the sea. (Hinit: Beyond Gods)

Third Person's POV (Cuz 3rd is better for this scene)
Ethan woke up to see himself in a taxi cab. He squinted and saw that Grover was next to him asleep. He groaned as he sat up. His muscles hurt and he was in pain. In front of him, he saw a goatman driving the car. Ethan's eyes bulge out of his head. Then he remembered that apparently, Grover was a goatman as well.
"The kids awake Grover, get your ass up!", the goatman said. Next to him, Grover stirred.
(Ethan's POV)
"Oh hi Ethan'', he said awkwardly. I stared back at him.
"Care to explain why there are monsters in my school and why you are a goatmen, and another one is driving the car?"
"Show some respect kid, it's satyer, not goatmen! And I had to drag you all the way to this car!"the satyer exclaimed.
"Quiet, Hedge. So yeah Ethan, you know the stuff about greek mythology and all that stuff in history class? It's all true. Also this guy's name is Gleeson Hedge, a satyr just like me", Grover explained to me.
"Wait, so all those monsters like the Cyclopes are true? And where did my water gun come from?" I asked.
"You're a demigod, so Camp-Half Blood, sent me to rescue you. Those monsters wanted to eat you because of your scent. Your scent is really strong, like I can smell it from 1 mile away."Grover said.
"So apparently I smell like food to you guys, and ….. You became my friend because I was a demigod?" I asked, getting angrier by the moment. I couldn;t believe it. Like my life isn't messed up enough, now I found out my best and only friend isn't really my friend. Also, there were a bunch of monsters chasing me for food, and I had no home as well.
"No, it's complicated, but I'm really your friend. Besides you might be my friend Percy's brother". Grover said nervously. Great, so now I have a brother I didn't know existed living at camp while I was digging holes and collecting branches to sleep on. Just extraordinary. On top of that, there were un-killable monsters.
"Um, ok, so why didn't the monsters get hit when I threw a bar at him?" This was bothering me. If the monster can't be killed without me going crazy, then yup, end of the world for me.
Hedge snorted. " No duh, they can only be killed with Celestial Bronze, not those silly mortal metal you guys use and say "its strong''. Seriously? I thought. Here is a goatman right in front of my face and he's calling me a weaker being.
"Yeah, so, we're on our way to Camp Half-Blood, and find out your godly parents, hopefully train you and stuff. Percy on the way, because i think i can sense a lot of monsters following us." Grover informed me. I got nervous, because I was definity not ready, going rage mode again and getting dragged by a mad goat, and facing monsters was not on my to-do list.
"Yeah, so I can see my- GOAT GODS!, Hedge yelled, as he swerved to the left. I looked out the window to see 2 giants and more hellhounds(I think) standing in our path.
Grover's POV
"Get out, get out!" I screamed as I pushed Ethan out of the car. Hedge followed suit. I grabbed Ethan by his shirt as he stared in awe at the Laistrygonian Giants. Hedge took out his bat as he took a swing at the dogs, shouting " Bad doggy! Bad doggy!"
I took out my pipes and blew into it, causing nearby plants to grow and sprout. They wrapped around the legs of the giants and stopped some of the hellhounds. Unfortunately I had only brought us a bit of time.
"Gleeson, come one, it'll only stand for 1 minute!"I yelled at my partner. Gleeson smacked a hellhound one last time before running to me and Ethan.
" Leave me Grover, they want me not you! I'll just do the water thingy again!" Ethan yelled
"You have no training, besides, those laistrygonian giants are too much for you!"I told him.
"Lais-what" he started before I stopped dead in my tracks. Gleeson came to a stop next to me as well. In front of us was a group of 8-12 dracanae. We were done for. That was when my friend Percy appeared and sliced the head off of one of the dracanae and kicked another one of them in the chest.
"Gross", Ethan said as blood splattered all over the place.
"Gotta get used to it buddy, there monsters all over the continent", Percy said.
"Grover, get to the Hudson River, I can use my water powers to a maximum there!
I nodded as I told Ethan, "This way!" Before running towards the river with Gleeson and PErcy in tow.
"How are we in NJ already?" Ethan asked me.
"Yeah well kid, if you didn't notice, you were out for 18 hours after you went into water mode!" Gleeson yelled.
I looked and saw Percy had jumped in the river and I yelled "Get ready guys!"
Percy's POV (He's still a main character)
I reached the bars and quickly did a somersault over them and jumped straight into the river. It might sound crazy, but yeah I'm a son of Poseidon, so no problem for me. As soon as I touched the water, I felt rejuvenated. I quickly formed a whirlpool around me and went up to the surface and hurled a giant fist of water at one of the laistrygonian giants. I slammed another wave into the dracanae and then jumped out of the water. I slashed at the giant's legs and he screamed in anguish.
"Percy, what are those water figures in the water?"Grover asked. I turned to see 15 water figures moving towards us. Maybe reinforcements my father sent to help us, I thought. I turned to dodge a swing from the giant's club before vaulting up his back and stabbing him in the head. I'm dead, one more to go. Grover and Hedge were currently dealing with the hellhounds, and Ethan had a small celestial knife, so I saw no problem and continued to fight the other giant. I summoned more water from the river below and shot a torrent of water at the other giant, blasting him back before finishing him off with Riptide. I immediately turned around as I heard a cry of pain.
Ethan was bleeding from a gash in his leg as I saw one of the water figures attack him. Ethan swiped at the thing, but it went right through the figure. I summoned some water and blasted the figure back a bit, before meeting its sword with mine. I stepsided his thrust and swiped his waist but it went through like Ethan's knife did. Guess it's water power now, I thought. Summoning a hurricane around me which seemed to slow the figures a bit, I blasted multiple torrents at the figure and after something like 10 blows it was destroyed. By now, I had used up a lot of my power and I saw 1 more water figure starting to climb the railing. This is not good, I thought, as I turned and saw Ethan jumping into the water.
Ethan's POV
I jumped off the railing hoping I would survive since I was a son of the sea apparently like Percy, and I was surprised to see myself floating just fine. I prayed to whoever my godly parent was and said, please dad, help me and my friends, I don't want them to die because of me. Suddenly, I found a sword made out of water in my hands, made out of pure water, just like the one I had used in Chicago. Use it well, my son, we will meet again soon. I smiled, mostly because I was gonna meet my dad at last and for him to answer my questions, but also that now I had a true weapon. I zipped across the water (literally) and swipe at the water figure. It worked surprisingly well, as the water tried to stick back together, it couldn't.
" Nice job dude" Percy said with a grin. We charged at the water figures as if we had fought together all our lives. Percy blasted the figures with water as I finished them off. Me and Percy flew up from the water and landed back on the street as Grover and Gleeson stared at me in awe.
Suddenly the river darkened and shook violently. "Foolish demigods, you think you can defeat me", said a voice coming straight from the river. " I will let you live today, but we shall meet again, son of my archenemy." With that, the voice disappeared and the waters became calm again.
"Well that was weird", Percy said. "We need to leave". A lot of mortals were lining up and pointing at us. I don;t know what they saw, but Grover said something about the Mist to me, so they probably saw me catching a shark or something. A car parked in front of us and honked at us. "The Grey Sisters", Percy explained.
"Yup, but it looks scary", commented Grover.
"You'll be fine," Percy said as he threw 5 golden coins at the 3 creepy ladies. They had gray hair and somehow fit in the front of the taxi. Me, Percy, Grover, and Gleeson got in. The car magically adjusted to fit all of us.
I looked at the sword in my hands. "I think I should name you", I said to my sword. Hedge looked at me, and I felt weird. "Maybe I should call you Wayside." The words παραπλανητικός blazed on the sword and it shrunk down and disappeared into my hand. Weird, I thought but on the other hand, it was pretty cool.
"Alright guys, to Camp Half-Blood!" Percy said, and we went down the road to Half Blood Hill.
I tried to make this chapter longer, and type fast. Hope you guys like it. Please review below to see what I can improve about his story.
