I BECOME SUPREME LORD OF THE BATHROOM

Clarisse groaned. Chris looked at her. She had put her head in her hands. Annabeth understood, she looked at Clarisse and remembered how much she has changed.

Once I got over the fact that...end the way I trusted his front.

Few people snickered into their fist covering with coughs.

We passed the...Another said, "That's him."

Few of the older campers nodded.

Most of the campers were...to do a flip or something.

They(older campers) thought back than fighting a Minotaur was a big thing than it felt now.

"Fighting a Minotaur is a big thing." Hera said.

All the demigods looked at her like com'on lady we done way more than fight a Minotaur. Hera looked at the unimpressed looks.

"Back than yes. We too thought as much. But now it seem like child's play." Clarisse said. Others nodded. All the gods looked worried about why would that be. What had they fought.

They had totally forgot about the Titans the kids had mentioned before.

I looked back at the...the distinct impression I was being watched.

"It moved back than." Annabeth asked surprised.

Apollo too straitened. His oracle moved. She hadn't moved in years.

"Apparently Percy is more observant than we thought" Grover said.

"What's up there?" I asked Chiron. He looked where I was pointing, and his smile faded. "Just the attic."

Apollo sighed.

"Somebody lives there?"

"Not really" old campers said.

"What was it?" Leo asked.

"Oh yeah you came after the curse broke." Annabeth said. "You'll see."

"No," he said with final...the strawberries take almost no effort."

Everyone nodded.

He said Mr. D had this effect...so they grew strawberries instead.

Dionysus sighed. "At least let me grow grapes." He said nearly pouting at Zeus. "Fine. You can." Zeus said.

I watched the satyr playing... he was a good protector. Really."

Dionysus looked up from his magazine in surprise.

Chiron sighed. He shed his...safely to Half-Blood Hill."

"You want to look for Pan." Hermes asked Grover in hope.

"Yes." Grover said but didn't elaborate. Hermesnodded.

"But he did that!"

"I might agree with you," Chiron...second chance, won't he?"

"It wasn't his fault. Stupid council of Cloven Elders." Thalia mumbled. Other older campers noddedin agreement.

Chiron winced. "I'm afraid...so small for his age... ."

"How old is he?"

"Oh, twenty-eight."

"You really are young for your age." Dionysus said.

Grover nodded happily.

"What! And he's in sixth grade?"

"That's must be horrible for you." Chris said to Grover who nodded sadly.

"Satyrs mature half as fast as...tiny, hopeful fire—started forming in my mind.

"Don't tell me he did that." Poseidon asked Grover.

"He didn't." Grover said.

"Chiron," I said. "If the gods and Olympus and all that are real ..."

"Yes, child?"

"Does that mean the Underworld is real, too?"

Hades raised his eyebrow at the question.

"He really considered going to Underworld for his mother." Athena said.

Chiron's expression darkened...that out of your mind."

"What do you mean, 'until we know more'?"

"Come, Percy. Let's see the woods."

"Chiron really needs to learn how to change topics." Hermes said. "I tried. He didn't learn." Apollo said.

As we got closer, I realized how...your luck, but go armed."

"That's really helpful." Leo mummered.

"Stocked with what?" I asked. "Armed with what?"

"You'll see. Capture the flag is Friday night. Do you have your own sword and shield?"

"Why would he have his own shield and sword?" Poseidon asked.

"My own—?"

"No," Chiron said. "I don't suppose...fights. "Sword and spear fights?" I asked.

"It's really the best place." Clarisse said. Ares nodded in approval.

"Cabin challenges and all that," he...drop the subject.

"It is a logical question. Why didn't he answered." Apollo asked.

"We thought that he already has seen the Orientation film, so just assumed that he should know this already." Annabeth sighed.

"Well it should be clear from his attitudethat he doesn't know." Poseidon said shaking his head.

Finally, he showed me the cabins.

All the gods straightened to know what kids saw when they see the cabins.

There were twelve of them,

"What!! That's not right." Jason said.

"Yeah. There are more than twelve."Leo said confused by this.

"There are just twelve cabins at the camp." Dionysus and Athena said. All the other gods looked confused.

The older campers looked at each other. "We added them later." The newer campers nodded. And gods wondered why are there more. "You will know from one of these books." Pollux said.

nestled in the...collection of buildings I'd ever seen.

Gods raised their eyebrows.

Except for the fact that each had a large brass number above the door (odds on the left side, evens on the right), they looked absolutely nothing alike. Number nine had smokestacks, like a tiny factory.

Hephaestus and his children faces brightened at the mention of their cabin first.

Number four had tomato vines on the walls and a roof made out of real grass. Seven seemed to be made of solid gold(Apollo smiled brightly), which gleamed so much in the sunlight it was almost impossible to look at(he smirked). They all faced a commons area about the size of a soccer field, dotted with Greek statues, fountains, flower beds, and a couple of basketball hoops (which were more my speed). In the center of the field was a huge stone-lined firepit. Even though it was a warm afternoon, the hearth smoldered. A girl about nine years old was tending the flames, poking the coals with a stick.

"That's you right sister." Poseidon asked Hestia who looked surprised that someone saw her. She nodded.

The pair of cabins at the head of the field, numbers one and two, looked like his-and-hers mausoleums, big white marble boxes with heavy columns in front.

Zeus and Hera nodded. Thalia and Jason flinched. Piper wanted to glare at Hera but controlled herself.

Cabin one was the biggest and bulkiest of the twelve. Its polished bronze doors shimmered like a hologram, so that from different angles lightning bolts seemed to streak across them.

Jason and Thalia looked at each other and away. Zeus smiled at the mention of his cabins discerption.

Cabin two was more graceful somehow, with slimmer columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. The walls were carved with images of peacocks.

Hera looked happy at that.

"Zeus and Hera?" I guessed.

Everyone nodded.

"Correct," Chiron said.

"Their cabins look empty."

"As they should be." Hera said glaring at Zeus.

"Several of the cabins are. That's true. No one ever stays in one or two." Okay. So each cabin had a different god, like a mascot. Twelve cabins for the twelve Olympians. But why would some be empty? I stopped in front of the first cabin on the left, cabin three.

Poseidon perked up at that.

It wasn't high and mighty like cabin one, but long and low and solid. The outer walls were of rough gray stone studded with pieces of seashell and coral, as if the slabs had been hewn straight from the bottom of the ocean floor. I peeked inside the open doorway and Chiron said, "Oh, I wouldn't do that!"

"Oh I wouldn't mind anyone looking in." Poseidon said. All the demigods looked at him. He smiled at them. They looked at each other and understood where Percy nature came from.

"Yeah Uncle P allows everyone to his sea." Hermes said.

"Unlike father." Thalia grumbled.

Before he could pull me back, I caught the salty scent of the interior, like the wind on the shore at Montauk. The interior walls glowed like abalone. There were six empty bunk beds with silk sheets turned down. But there was no sign anyone had ever slept there.

"Sounds beautiful." Hazel said smiling softly.

"It is." Annabeth said.

The place felt so sad and lonely(all the campers wondered if he still felt like that), I was glad when Chiron put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Come along, Percy."

Poseidon smiled sadly.

Most of the other cabins were...each other while rock music blared.

Ares smirked at the discretion.

The loudest was a girl maybe...stringy, and brown instead of red.

Everyone turned to Clarisse. She rolled her eyes. And clicked her tongue.

I kept walking, trying to stay...events. But you won't see any here."

"Party ponies." Travis and Connor exclaimed.

"Oh yes they throw the best parties." Dionysus said. Pollux nodded. Dakota looked up questionin his eyes. "What is party ponies?"

Strolls looked at him "we'll introduce you"

Apollo and Hermes were also nodded at Dionysus comment.

"You said your name was Chiron...But, shouldn't you be dead?"

"I can't even imagine camp with him." Annabeth and Clarisse said at the same time.

Chiron paused, as if the... so I can only assume I'm still needed."

"We will always need Chiron." Every Greek camper said. Apollo smiled at them. Other gods looked at each other.

I thought about being a teacher for three...depressing, at times, but never boring."

"Why depressing?"

Everyone moved closer towards their parentsand sighed sadly.

Chiron seemed to turn hard of ...like those in an architecture book.

"It was." Annabeth confirmed.

"Annabeth," Chiron said, "I have...around it. What did they call it... ?

"He wouldn't know" Chris sighed.

A caduceus.

Chris looked happy and surprised.

Inside, it was packed with people...Red Cross had set up an evacuation center.

Hermes and his kids winced. The newer campers were surprised at that.

Chiron didn't go in. The door was too low for him. But when the campers saw him they all stood and bowed respectfully.

Every demigod nodded.

"Well, then," Chiron said. "Good...and made a total fool of myself.

Everyone laughed. "Naturally" few said. Hermes kids remembered seeing that and laughed loudly.

There were some snickers from the campers, but none of them said anything. Annabeth announced, "Percy Jackson, meet cabin eleven."

"Regular or undetermined?" somebody asked.

The new campers and Romans looked confused.

I didn't know what to say, but...different-colored clay beads(Hermes wondered which one of his kids he was). The only thing unsettling about his appearance was a thick white scar that ran from just beneath his right eye to his jaw, like an old knife slash(Hermes looked concerned). "This is Luke," Annabeth said, and her voice sounded different somehow. I glanced over and could've sworn she was blushing.

"I was not." Annabeth protest.

"Yes you were." Hermes kids answered. Annabeth turned red.

She saw me looking, and her...section of floor they'd given me.

Hermes winced.

I had nothing to put there to...thought about setting that down(Hermes smirked), but then I remembered that Hermes was also the god of thieves.

Hermes pouted. Others snickered.

I looked around at the campers...chance to pick my pockets.

"Of course." Travis said.

"But we couldn't pick pocket Percy." Connor said.

"He is too observant." Chris said.

"That shouldn't stop you from trying." Hermes said

"It doesn't."

"We love it."

"Always welcomed the challenge."

Hermes smiled at his children.

"How long will I be here?" I asked.

"Good question," Luke said. "Until you're determined."

"How long will that take?"

"Again a valid question and everyone just laughed." Reyna said.

The campers all laughed. "Come on," Annabeth...behind me(Hermes children send apologetic smiles at Poseidon who accepted it on his son's behalf). When we were a few feet away, Annabeth said, "Jackson, you have to do better than that."

"What?" Thalia asked. Annabeth winced.

"What?" She rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath, "I can't believe I thought you were the one."

Annabeth didn't look up.

"What's your problem?" I was getting angry now. "All I know is, I kill some bull guy—"

"How was he supposed to know anything?." Rachel asked.

"Don't talk like that!" Annabeth told me. "You know how many kids at this camp wish they'd had your chance?"

"Chance to do what? Get killed?" Thalia looked surprised at her friend.

"To get killed?"

"To fight the Minotaur! What do you think we train for?"

"Survived." Reyna looked at Annabeth in surprise.

I shook my head. "Look, if the thing I fought really was the Minotaur, the same one in the stories ..."

"Yes."

"Then there's only one."

"Yes."

"And he died, like, a gajillion years ago, right? Theseus killed him in the labyrinth. So ..."

"Monsters don't die, Percy. They can be killed. But they don't die."

"Isn't that wonderful." Someone grumbled.

"Oh, thanks. That clears it...archetypes. Eventually, they re-form."

"How is he supposed to understand that." Apollo too looked surprised.

I thought about Mrs. Dodds. "You mean if I killed one, accidentally, with a sword—"

"The Fur ... I mean, your math teacher. That's right. She's still out there. You just made her very, very mad."

"How did you know about Mrs. Dodds?"

"You talk in your sleep."

"Why were you watching him sleep?" Athena asked. She wasn't happy with her daughter's behaviour about how she wanted to fight Minotaur.

"You almost called her something. A Fury? They're Hades' torturers, right?"

Grover bit his lips.

Annabeth glanced nervously at the ground...even to myself, but right then I didn't care.

Everyone laughed at looked at Zeus.

"Why do I have to stay in cabin...parents are. Or ... your parent."

Thalia sighed. "Look I didn't know he hadn't seen Orientation film. Ok. I assumed he should know all of this already. So i am sorry about my behaviour." Annabeth said. Other looked away.

She stared at me, waiting for...about your other parent. Your dad."

"Again I didn't know that he didn't know."

"He's dead. I never knew him." Annabeth sighed. Clearly, she'd had this conversation before with other kids. "Your father's not dead, Percy."

"If you couldn't tell by this that he didn't know anything about what'sgoing onthan someone else should have given him the tour." Charles said.

"How can you say that? You know him?"

"No, of course not."

All the gods with kids looked away.

"Then how can you say—"

"Because I know you. You wouldn't be here if you weren't one of us."

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"You don't know anything about...bet you were kicked out of a lot of them."

"Don't say it like that."

"How—"

"Diagnosed with dyslexia...1many questions I didn't know where to start.

Looking back Annabeth realised that yeah she should have realised.

Then a husky voice yelled, "Well! A...Why don't you go polish your spear or something?"

Clarisse winced. All the campers knew what happened to the newbies back than. Sure the things have changed but they still didn't liked Clarisse for that.

"Sure, Miss Princess," the big girl...You don't stand a chance."

"It was worse." Annabeth said.

"We'll pulverize you," Clarisse said, but her eye twitched. Perhaps she wasn't sure she could follow through on the threat.

"He is too observant for his own good." Clarisse mumbled.

She turned toward me. "Who's this little..."You got a problem with that?"

Ares was also twitching thinking if he did he would make him pay or may be he did.

"No," I said, recovering my wits. "It explains the bad smell."

Ares and Clarisse growled. "Oooo.. so this is where the it started." Chris said thoughtfully.

Annabeth nodded.

Clarisse growled. "We got an initiation ceremony for newbies, Prissy."

Now everyone(oldcampers) glared at Clarisse. Other stared at her. They didn't know it happened at camp too but they understood what she was meant.

"Percy."

"Whatever. Come on, I'll show you."

"Clarisse—" Annabeth tried to say. "Stay out of it, wise girl."

"He got Annabeth's nick name from Clarisse." Travis said.

"This is so weird." Connor said.

Annabeth looked pained...that I knew immediately was the bathroom.

Poseidon looked at Clarisse disappointingly. Ares nodded happily.

I was kicking and punching. I'd been...hey should've been able to afford classier johns.

Hephaestus decided to at least change that for the camps. It is supposed to be home for their children.

Clarisse's friends were all...over laughing, he was so stupid looking."

"Not cool. Clarisse. Not cool at all." Nico said.

Her friends snickered. Annabeth stood in the corner, watching through her fingers.

"I was not." Annabeth said offended.

"You were." Clarisse said from where she was growling at the floor.

Clarisse bent me over on my...water, thinking, I will not go into that. I won't.

"There's the stubborn everyone loves and monsters hates." Frank said.

Then something happened. I felt a tug in the pit of my stomach. I heard the plumbing rumble, the pipes shudder.

Ares scrolled knowing what would happen. Clarisse winced. Poseidon smiled.

Clarisse's grip on my hair... with Clarisse screaming behind me.

"Yes!" All the demigods said.

I turned just as water blasted...being washed away.

Everyone snickered at the image. Clarisse wanted to snap at them but didn't. She was wrong their. But Chris glared at them. His brothers looked at him and stopped. Others did too.

As soon as they were out the...place, staring at me in shock.

"It had been shocking." Annabeth said. "Back than. I hadn't ever seen something like that." Others nodded.

I looked down and realised...of other campers had gathered around to gawk.

"It had been a shocker and a pretty funny sight. Since you know Clarisse always did initiatingceremonies back than. And no one had beatenor escaped her." Pollux said. Now all the gods glared at her.

Clarisse's hair was...new boy. You are totally dead."

"Even ... ahem ...monsters couldn't do that." Jason said looking unhappy about how Percy was treated when he arrived to how he was treated when he did.

I probably should have let...that I want you on my team for capture the flag."

Clarisse sighed. She knew what she had done after that.

At the mention of the game Gods looked existed.

"Chapter finished."

P.S. To the readers. I apologise for the mistakes i made or will be making. It's been more than 2 years since I last read the books. So there will be more mistakes and yes I meant Reyna not Reyan. It's mostly because sometimes when i am typing i am too slow for my brain or i typed too fast. So if you know which is right it might be just that. I am reading and writing this as i go along. Otherwise I'll get bored to finish this.

P.S.S. I am glad you enjoy reading this and i too hope that I don't leave it in between.
