the lightning thieve

by Madalin459

learning the trough about who we were ,we have bee thrust in to a world that we belived to be impossible now though understanding the trough we are tasked to bring the lightning bolt that have been stolen .

8. Chapter 8

I had weird dreams full of barnyard animals. Most of them wanted to kill me. The rest wanted food.

I must've woken up several times, but what I heard and saw made no sense, so I just passed out again. I remember lying in a soft bed, being spoon-fed something that tasted like buttered popcorn, only it was pudding. The girl with curly blond hair hovered over me, smirking as she scraped drips off my chin with the spoon.

Naruto was there as well smirking and talkig though i could not make much of what he was saying but i had the feeling he was some what making fun of me i did not liked that but i simply let it be .

When she saw my eyes open, she asked, "What will happen at the summer solstice?"

now this cought bought mine and Naruto's reaction since this was something that we bought rembered after hearing bought Grover and Mr Brunner talking about it and even i brought it up when we were on the buss to home .

''wow Annie i did not knew you are so blunt i mean Percy here is barely concious and you are asking this i can tell you what you want to know if you want '' the girl gave Naruto a look when she remained silent right after deciding to stare at me .

I managed to croak, "What?"

She looked around, as if afraid someone would overhear. "What's going on? What was stolen? We've only got a few weeks!"

''well that is so better i mean sure why not cause this is so great what will be next stones falling from the sky since the situation is not done ,yeah what a drama queen .''

Naruto was very sarcastic droning that out i would had laughed if i could but i could not .

''honestly wiskers do you have to try and tick of the gods simply by talking like this ?''

Annabeth replyed with a blank stare that she was giving to Naruto who was rather if not very calm .

''well hey it's not my fault that a certain some one has a big fit and is crying about it ''Naruto answered back geting a blank sigh from Annabeth who belived that the strange blond she was aquainted with had a very wierd way of geting under people's nerves .

"I'm sorry," I mumbled, "I don't..." hearing the words Naruto simply rolled his eyes while Annabeth was not looking very happy about the words either .

Somebody knocked on the door, and the girl quickly filled my mouth with pudding .

Naruto simply grinned at this not saying a word since he seemed to enjoy seeing his best friend being nursed by his new strange friend that he made after coming at camp .

The next time I woke up, the girl was gone. as well as Naruto .

A husky blond dude, like a surfer, stood in the corner of the bedroom keeping watch over me. He had blue eyes— at least a dozen of them—on his cheeks, his forehead, the backs of his hands.

When I finally came around for good, there was nothing weird about my surroundings, except that they were nicer than I was used to. I was sitting in a deck chair on a huge porch, gazing across a meadow at green hills in the distance. The breeze smelled like strawberries. There was a blanket over my legs, a pillow behind my neck. All that was great, but my mouth felt like a scorpion had been using it for a nest. My tongue was dry and nasty and every one of my teeth hurt.

On the table next to me was a tall drink. It looked like iced apple juice, with a green straw and a paper parasol stuck through a maraschino cherry.

My hand was so weak I almost dropped the glass once I got my fingers around it.

"Careful," a familiar voice said.

''yeah Perce take it easy after all fightning against the bull cow was not easy for us you know ''

i heard two familiar voices .

Grover and Naruto were leaning against the porch railing Grover was looking like he had not slept in a week. Under one arm, he cradled a shoe box. He was wearing blue jeans, Converse hi-tops and a bright orange T-shirt that said CAMP HALF-BLOOD. Just plain old Grover, Not the goat boy.

Naruto on the other hand had the same grin that he usually was wearing he was wearing the same orange t shirt that said CAMP HALF-BLOOD .as well as a pair of dark blue jeans and sneakers on his feet that were orange as wierd as that was .

seeing them i began to wander about what really happen thinking that maybe i had a nightmare Maybe my mom was okay. We were still on vacation, and we'd stopped here at this big house for some reason. And ...

"You guys saved my life ''Grover told us "I... well, the least I could do ... I went back to the hill. I thought you might want this."

Reverently, he placed the shoe box in my lap. while going to were Naruto was standing he gave him something that was looking like a horn he watched it when he grinned as if he liked that .

''sweet the horn of the bull cow not much but i think it might work ah not like i care any way '' i replied not caring since it was no big deal to begin with bought Percy and Grover were looking at me Percy was simply confused and lost while Grover looked like he was about to crak as much as i wanted to joke i could not since this was a bit hard since what happen with Mrs Jakson was real to real for us to just laugh or brush it off as if it was nothing .

The Minotaur," I said. geting the attention of bought Naruto and Grover who was wary after hearing the name being called out by me .

"Urn, Percy, it isn't a good idea—" Grover said still not liking that and was giving me a worried glance .

''really ? are you afraid of him i mean me and Perce managed to beat him no sweat ''i said after hearing Grover who was not very glad about hearing the name of the stupid bull cow i had to say that for a satyr he was a cowered but i did not blamed him since that thing was so huge that it looked like a cow that had been grown or mutated by a crazy pshyco who wanted to probably play around with life .

''uhm y yeah you have a point since you and Percy did do that to him '' Grover responded being a bit nervous but i gave him a grin since it was cool when he put it like that since it was nothing but the trough .

That's what they call him in the Greek myths, isn't it?" I demanded. "The Minotaur. Half man, half bull." i suddenly responded geting my best friends attention not that what Naruto saying about what we did was not cool since it was but i simply wanted confirmation on that .

''yeah that's right i mean we did saw the freaky bull and man i have to say that cow was freaky as well as huge but he was not to much in the brain departament if you get my meaning i mean he must had been dumb since there are two or three others who are in the same category as him .

bought Grover and Percy looked at me after hearing my words the two noded being a bit amused by my words Percy more than Grover but the two were a bit confused when they heard that i said that three persons were in the same category as the minotaur .

''three ?'' the two asked me showing that they were confused at that which made me sniker since i knew of whom i was talking about and it was very funny to not think about them for it was true .

''yeah three and do you know who fits in this category well first is the big usless primadona of the sky also known as the loser Zeus of the clouds of loser sky ,then we have the idiotic baboon of war that i belive he had been replaced at birth with an actuall baboon that had been given human or godly form and had been given the domain of war and the last of course the pig it self gabe pigliano i mean that guy is so desgusting that he is making his two cousens proud since they share a singel brain for they are baboons themselves i belive that Ares and the Minotaur are the long lost cousenses of Gabe seeing as how they act and belive they are something one is a dumb cow the other is a dumb fool that has to much war in his head that he thinks he is tough when he is not for even a monkey can beat him .and Gabe is a desgusting pig that thinks he is a hot shot when he is not . this is sad boys really sad to think that three diferent people well two at least cause the last one is a cow can think they are so important please they need to go to the zoo and be left there i mean maybe people could come and watch them ,uh or maybe not cause then they might end up infected with their stupidity so there may be better for people who are watching them to wear safety suits just to not get infected with stupidity germs that the three might have .

now bought Grover and Perce were at first looking at me like i have lost my mind after insluting the big fluff in the sky as well as the monky of war Grover was actually shocked and had his mought nearly hag open while Percy was mutely gawking at me not saying a word .

but when gabe came in bought him and Grover were laughing and it became even more harder when i compared Ares with the minotaur as well as Gabe insulting the three again . Grover again was shocked after hearing how i insulted a nother god again but then him and Percy as well as me began to laugh out loud while thinking about Gabe and the minotaur it was even more funny when i talked about the three of them being placed in a zoo and have people look at them while wearing safty suits to not get infected .

Percy was laughing so hard that he was holding his sides while Grover despite not liking what i did since i insulted the god of war again shaked his head in amusament already knowing how i was acting most of the time .

''honestly Naruto it would not be you if you would not insult or prank some one you know this might get you in troubel some day . i shrugged after hearing that from Grover since i did not care to much since it was who i was and i did not intened to chaing anytime soon .

''you are right Grover and i don't regret this for a moment since it's fun doing what i do so if there are a few people who do not like my humor then they are to stiff to get it '' at that Grover simply shaked his head while Percy smirked since he knew i was not about to be purswaided so easily .

after the moment where we had our fun Percy was silent when Grover decided to speak geting Percy's attention as well as mine .

"You've been out for two days. How much do you remember?" Grover asked right away Percy started to think having a long and silent expresion i felt a bit bad for my best friend as Grover was since that sucked really bad seeing some one like mrs Jakson being taken away like that though now after two days i had the strange fealing that maybe she was not dead as we thought she was but more like maybe she had been taken for i rembered that mrs Alecto had vanished just like Percy's mom did which meant that she was in fact alive rather than dead .

My mom. Is she really ..." i said not wanting to belive that even if the trough was hard to accept i saw Grover look down showing he was depress while Naruto was silent not saying a thing about this but from the look that i saw there was something in his eyes something that i did not knew how to interpret .

''don't worry Perce i think your mom is not dead i think that what happen with mrs Alect might had happen to her i m not so sure but i think this is the best guess i have i know it is not much but your mom is alive , though even if this is a good news the bad news is that we have to get her back and by this i mean we have to go to the place were your uncel Hades lives and maybe make some kind of a deal maybe if we try and be of help to him by trying to get his helm back then we could get your mom back .

Percy gave me a look showing he was surprised as well as very hopefule though he did look unsure after hearing that we might have to go to the place were hades was Grover in a way had a hopefule greatfule look since he was glad that Percy's mom was fine but he was quite scared since he had a pale face after hearing the rest of my words and he did not look so comfortable with that .

''uh a about that y you a are not serious are you i i mean that would mean that you want to go to the underworld and try to bargain with Hades i mean him the lord of the dead he is not some one who is known to keep his word and even worst he hates heros .

i rolled my eyes after hearing Grover out since he was acting scared on one had i did not blamed him for acting like that since he might knew about the guy more than me and Percy but even so i belived that the man it self was not so crule or a monster as others depict him since i want to belive that even a person as dark as Hades might have a shred of good as well as kindness even if he was cold since no one could be that cold hearted and cruell for so long but this was my opinion .

''oh come on Grover the man can't be that bad so he might have made a few mistakes and maybe he did not acted right when he sent mrs Alecto to Yancy or the minotaur but still we don't know the man that much i mean maybe he had reasons to turn the way he did but looking down on him because of that is not cool i say this since i know how it is and it's not nice .

bought Percy and Grover were very surprised hearing me talking like this when i refered to the lord of the dead but i did that since i felt that the man was wrongely acused and treated since there were the other gods who did far more worst things than the man it self .

we stared across the meadow. There were groves of trees, a winding stream, acres of strawberries spread out under the blue sky. The valley was surrounded by rolling hills, and the tallest one, directly in front of us, was the one with the huge pine tree on top. Even that looked beautiful in the sunlight.

Percy was still upset about the fact that his mom was gone maybe in a way to him he belived at the moment that the world should simply be cold or even black and nothing should be this beutifule as we were seeing . i felt bad for him since this was not right . Grover after my words again became depressed after seeing Percy since he was probably blaming himself for what had happen when it was not true .

"I'm sorry," Grover sniffled. "I'm a failure. I'm—I'm the worst satyr in the world."

He moaned, stomping his foot so hard it came off. I mean, the Converse hi-top came off. The inside was filled with Styrofoam, except for a hoof-shaped hole . a sniker was given by me after me and Percy saw that .

"Oh, Styx ''he mumbelled

Thunder rolled across the clear sky.

As he struggled to get his hoof back in the fake foot we bought saw him trying to remain quiet .

I thought, Well, that settles iGrover was a satyr. I was ready to bet that if I shaved his curly brown hair, I'd find tiny horns on his head. But I was too miserable to care that satyrs existed, or even minotaurs. All that meant was my mom really had been squeezed into nothingness, dissolved into yellow light. .I was alone. An orphan. I would have to live with ... Smelly Gabe? No. That would never happen. I would live on the streets first. I would pretend I was seventeen and join the army. I'd do something.

i decided to stop thinking about something like that since it was quite negative me and Naruto were watching Grover who was still sniffling. The poor kid—poor goat, satyr, whatever—looked as if he expected to be hit .

I said, "It wasn't your fault."

''yeah Perce is right you did what you could so stop blaming yourself for this i mean like i said we will just have to get back mrs Jackson back and then all will be fine .

even if Grover was still disrought over this Percy was now looking more enthusiastic since these seem to be good news to him and i liked to see my best friend acting like his usual self .

"Yes, it was. I was supposed to protect you." Percy was a bit unsure about this after hearing Grover but me i simply rolled my eyes since this was starting to get ridiculous since we protected Grover for a year at least and he was working him self up for this i liked that he was taking responsability but it was annoying seeing my second best friend acting so miserable because we made a mistake and he just tried to look after us since none of this would had happen if we would had not ditch Grover even if he did started to act like a loony wierdo and simply freaked me and Percy out .

''listen for crying out loud stop it already you sound like a broken record i get it even Percy here gets it we understand that you had to look out for us and with good reason but what happen with the minotaur and don't even dare to corect me about saying his name since they have power for i don't care or give a care ,what happen there was not your fault or ours it was that guy's since he is a freaking paranoied stupid moron who instead of either keep out of what happen when we were chased by the crazy cow bull he simply wanted us dead so do me a favor and stop all this self blameing yourself cause if you want to blame some one then blame that primadona that is trowing a fit since he lost his stupid toy of distruction i mean why the heck dosen't the guy just mary that thing and get it over with instead of acting like a baby what a jerk .

bought Grover and Percy were looking at me with very outstanded looks not knowing what to say Percy was feeling uncertain after i said thouse words but he did apreciate that i tried to stop making our best friend act so gloom about this he even snorted after hearing about the king of the sky being insulted again by me . Grover was simply at a loss for words since he was trying to not look so down but it was hard though after hearing me saying thouse words he tried to not look so glum even if it was not working to much he was a bit pale after hearing me insulting the big fluffy guy with the zap lightning since it was true when i decided to blame him for he was at fault for all of this in the first place .

''ok but tell me this did my mother ask you to protect me?" i asked Grover since i wanted to know if she asked him to watch out for me as well as Naruto as a personal favor .

"No. But that's my job. I'm a keeper. At least... I was. Grover responded sounding defeated we bought did not knew how to respond to this since it was simply wierd to hear about this from him .

"But why ..." I suddenly felt dizzy, my vision swimming.

''carfule Perce you are still trying to recover as to probably why did Grover tried to watch over the two of us was or maybe still is because he is a keeper i think a keeper is something like a guardian am i wrong when i m saying this like that ?

at first Percy was still dizzi so i told him to take it easy continuing from there teling him about just why he did something like that Grover gave a nod showing that he was not very surpised even if he was a bit while Percy was thinking about this for a bit when he decided to give up since he did not wanted to think about it to much since it was wierd to him anyway .

''Naruto is right Percy don't try to strain yourself ''Grover said when me and Naruto saw him walking twoards my bed and decided to give me a helping hand .

"Here." was the only word that Grover said when he decided to bring the glass that was on the tabel were the strange straw was towards me . He helped me hold my glass and put the straw to my lips.

I recoiled at the taste, because I was expecting apple juice. It wasn't that at all. It was chocolate-chip cookies. Liquid cookies. And not just any cookies—my mom's homemade blue chocolate-chip cookies, buttery and hot, with the chips still melting. Drinking it, my whole body felt warm and good, full of energy. My grief didn't go away, but I felt as if my mom had just brushed her hand against my cheek, given me a cookie the way she used to when I was small, and told me everything was going to be okay.

''uh what just happen and are you ok Perce ?'' i asked since i did not get what just happen when Percy drank what ever was in the glass that Grover gave him since i saw Percy have a much more happy if not hopefule look on his expresion while he was drinking what ever was in that glass and that was making me curious as to what was in there to begin with .

there was no answere for before we knew it the glass had been emptide and my answere as well as curiosity gone i could not say that i was disapointed but more like curious yes .

Percy was simply staring at the glass that had only the ice cubes remaining while i now wanted to know what was that all about since from the expresion that Percy was showing it was reminding me of when i was having ramen since i was feeling exactly like that meaning calm and happy .

"Was it good?" Grover asked. this got our attention ,and Percy gave a nod while i wanted to know what was the drink Percy had since now even Grover had a small intrigued look on his face when he asked that .

''"What did it taste like?" he asked but the words sounded so wistful, me and Percy felt bad for our best friend though i was more like annoyed since he was acting like this when he had no fault to begin with and this was starting to annoy me .

"Sorry," I said. "I should've let you taste."

His eyes got wide. "No! That's not what I meant. I just... wondered."

now this made bought me and Percy wander just what the heck had my first best friend even drink in the first place if Grover was acting like this now ,i was trying to think but nothing came to mind and it was starting to iritate me .

just as i was still i deep thought Percy broke me out of it with his next sentance .

"Chocolate-chip cookies," I said. "My mom's. Homemade." hearing that made me laugh since this was so out of the blue and unexpected though i as well as Grover were able to see just how happy Percy was looking even if it was for a few moments before becoming sad again which made me frown a bit not liking that at all since Percy was like me some one who was up beat and energetic so seeing him this sad and down was a very wierd and gloomy thing and i did not liked that since it showed that my best friend was hurt .i knew who was at fault and i wanted to march to that guys place and beat him up which i had the very intention of doing for making my best friends fell like this when they were not at all like that to begin with .

''really Perce you had to say it like that cause that sure was funny i mean like really funny '' i told him and that made him as well as Grover to laugh even if Percy was a bit annoyed because he was embarest when i said that .

"And how do you feel?" Grover asked after rolling his eyes and let out a sigh since he would had expected something like that from Percy since he loved his mom cooking .

"Like I could throw Nancy Bobofit a hundred yards." at that i grimance a bit smirking since this was not very surprising to hear from Percy but even so hearing about Percy my first best friend feeling like he could throw Nancy almost at a hundred yards made me think he really did not liked her it was not his fault since Nancy was wierd and creepy in a nasty kind of way .

''ouch Percy that hurt i mean what did Nancy ever did to you despite the usual bulling twoards Grover and acting like a nasty littel girl '' i said with a smirking amusing tone Percy as well as Grover gave me looks but the two chukeled as well when we all started to laugh since this was very funny .

''Naruto as much as i dislike to rember that girl since she really was creepy you do know how to try and light the mood i can thank the gods for not having to have anything to do with that girl honestly do you know how much i wanted to trampel her for all that she did to me i simply had to much self control cause other wise that creepy girl would had taste for the first time the anger of a satyr ''

listening to Grover who was now acting less gloomy and more like his usual self bought me and Percy began to sniker at him seeing how much he disliked Nancy and wanted to hurt her but decided against i simply snorted since i was seeing Grover in a diferent light and it was not a preaty one .

''wooh calm down boy or you might do something that is not cool with you but this means we might have to watch out or other wise your wrath might scare us be wear here comes Grover the destroyer ''

i said while making a joke Grover was embarest because of what i said while Percy snorted since this was funny in his opinion .

''your right Naruto hurry quick we have to hide or Grover will do us in '' i replied with a smirk .Grover was now not so amused since he gave us a flat look .

''ha ha very funny guys what can i say you two are a riot really '' we bought grinned after Grover said that since we knew it was true but Grover did not mind that chosing to ignore us .

''yup you got it Grover you know us ''we replied not wanting to deny that Grover said nothing but he did smile a bit .

''ok fun stuff aside what was that wierd stuff that you gave Percy cause i saw him look calm and happy if he brought mrs Jackson's cooking '' i asked Grover since i was still curious about it and wanted to find out just what was that stuff that Percy drank anyway .

''oh that was nectar you know it is the drink that gods have and the demi gods can drink too but only very littel since if more of this stuff is drank then the body is going to turn to ash i mean it at first you will get a high feaver and then if you keep drinking that you will burn from the inside and then turn to ash .

at that me and Percy cringe not liking this we did found this to be very wierd since the gods that we learned about from mr Chiron were wierd but i was not one to juge beside it was their problem about what they were eating as well as drinking but we did not liked hearing about this but i guessed it was only right for kids like us to turn out like that since this stuff was not meant for a human even if we were only half human .

''ouch really that must suck but if Percy drank one glass then i guess it could not be so bad ,i bet you can't drink that stuff or you might turn to ash since you are not a demi god or a god yourself is it ?'' Grover noded making me and Percy winch since this was not coll at all in fact it sucked big time .

''uh so i guess this is why you sked me how it tasted since you probably wanted to have a taste yourself but this could happen to you i guess like Naruto said this must suck for you then G man '' at the words Grover even if had been silent he did agreed which made us notice that and decided to say nothing more .

He took the empty glass from me gingerly, as if it were dynamite, and set it back on the table. "Come on. Chiron and Mr. D are waiting."

''ah you mean mr chubby he is a cool guy but he has a way to much grumpy disposition i guess he really dose not like it here but hey if i were some one who drinks all the time then i would be grumpy too .

Percy gave me a look while Grover did not liked the way i refered to mr D but i did that since it was funny as well as true since the man was similar to chouji but i had nothing against him since he was more like neutral to me .

we all looked at the porch that was wrapped all the way around the farmhouse.

My legs felt wobbly, trying to walk that far. Grover offered to carry the Minotaur horn, but I held on to it. I'd paid for that souvenir the hard way. I wasn't going to let it go.

As we came around the opposite end of the house, I caught my breath.

We must've been on the north shore of Long Island, because on this side of the house, the valley marched all the way up to the water, which glittered about a mile in the distance. Between here and there, I simply couldn't process everything I was seeing. The landscape was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Greek architecture—an open-air pavilion, an amphitheater, a circular arena—except that they all looked brand new, their white marble columns sparkling in the sun. In a nearby sandpit, a dozen high school-age kids and satyrs played volleyball. Canoes glided across a small lake. Kids in bright orange T-shirts like Grover's were chasing each other

around a cluster of cabins nestled in the woods. Some shot targets at an archery range. Others rode horses down a wooded trail, and, unless I was hallucinating, some of their horses had wings.

Down at the end of the porch, two men sat across from each other at a card table. The blondhaired girl who'd spoon-fed me popcorn-flavored pudding was leaning on the porch rail next to them.

The man facing me was small, but porky. He had a red nose, big watery eyes, and curly hair so black it was almost purple. He looked like those paintings of baby angels— what do you call them, hubbubs? No, cherubs. That's it. He looked like a cherub who'd turned middle-aged in a trailer park. He wore a tiger-pattern Hawaiian shirt, and he would've fit right in at one of Gabe's poker parties, except I got the feeling this guy could've out-gambled even my stepfather.

"That's Mr. D," Grover murmured to me. "He's the camp director. Be polite

i sniker hearing that from Grover since we bought knew that Percy was not going to be polite to the man but i did not mind that since i did not wish to bother and instead i chose to preocupie my self with something or rather some one else at the moment .

The girl, that's Annabeth Chase. She's just a camper, but she's been here longer than just about anybody. And you already know Chiron... ."

He pointed at the guy whose back was to me.

First, I realized he was sitting in the wheelchair. Then I recognized the tweed jacket, the thinning brown hair, the scraggly beard.

"Mr. Brunner!" I cried.

hearing Percy shout out like that twoards Mr Chiron was sure amusing since he still belived that he was called Mr Bruner despite all that i have told him .

The Latin teacher turned and smiled at me. His eyes had that mischievous glint they sometimes got in class when he pulled a pop quiz and made all the multiple choice answers B.

"Ah, good, Percy, Naruto he said earning our attention ''"Now we have four for pinochle, sorry about that Naruto but you do not mind do you ?'' hearing Mr Chiron saying that i simply gave him a lazy wave showing that i was not bothered since i was not very intersted in playing the game since i already did that the other days while percy was still in the infirmary wing .

He offered Percy a a chair to the right of Mr. D, who looked at me with bloodshot eyes and heaved a great sigh. "Oh, I suppose I must say it. Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. There. Now, don't expect me to be glad to see you."

i sweat droped seeing the way that mr D spoke to Percy who was unsure of how to react i mumbell about that since i had nothing better to do right after i decided to glance twoards Annabeth who was a bit in the distance smiling a littel i decided to give her a wave .

"Uh, thanks." I scooted a little farther away from him because, if there was one thing I had learned from living with Gabe, it was how to tell when an adult has been hitting the happy juice. If Mr. D was a stranger to alcohol, I was a satyr.

''don't worry about mr D perce he is just grumpy that's all isn't that right mr D ''i asked him with a smirk the man gave me a look showing he was not very intersted in me what so ever .

''Naruko you are annoying and a bother please don't talk to me since i don't want to have my game mood ruined by you ''hearing that name from the person named mr D i was wierded out by this guy who looked very strange glancing towards Naruto i saw him being annoyed when he was called by that name but he did nothing to the man and this was a good thing even if it was wierd seeing him not react in his usual way which was with trying to insult some one who was ofending him or he ws disliking .

''well if i m annoying then you are as well and my name is Naruto Uzumaki got it but i will let it slide since you did call me by my other name that i use when i use my sexy jutsu as well as harem jutsu but you better rember my name or i will prank you and i know just how to do that mr D ''

i told him after saying that he should rember my name and that i was going to let that slide seeing as i was using the name of my sexy jutsu transformation that raised eyebrows as if there were questions but i chose to not answere since this was my secret to keep though i did grined a bit at the thought of pranking the drunken man since he was trying to annoy me .

''ha what ever Nathalian '' the man told me now this was just asking for it but i chose to not mind him since he was trying to tick me off so i decided to not mind or give him the satisfaction knowing that i was going to prank him soon enough and that was making me giddy for wanting to try it .

''it;s Naruto but what ever i don't care about wanting to make you rember that i will just prank you just you wait mr D you will regret trying to annoy me cause soon you will fall victime to my pranks like many others had did before you hehehe''

i mumbelled already being ready to plot on what i wanted to do so as to shut up that annoying faty man who was trying to get on my nerves intententionally i even began to laugh quite sinisterly wanting to sound and appear as bad as i could so as to try and scare mr D not that i was caring if he thought about me being scary or not one way or another he was going to get pranked either way .

turning twoards the tabel i saw that mr Chiron as well as mr D along side Grover and Percy were about to start the game when Mr Chiron shouted out .

"Annabeth?" right away i as well as Percy saw her coming to were we where and i had to say that she was looking very preaty just as the night i first saw her after me and Percy defeated the Minotaur .

She came forward and mr Chiron introduced her to Percy who was looking at her being quite surprise and if i was not wrong he was slightly blushing i had a smirk on my face seeing that since it was funny but i wanted to make things clear to Percy since i did not want for misnunderstandings to be betwin the two of us .

"This young lady nursed you back to health, Percy. Annabeth, my dear, why don't you go check on Percy's bunk? We'll be putting him in cabin eleven for now." we heard Mr Chiron tell her leting her know she simply agreed with what mr Chiron told her showing that she found no problem at all .

''hey Annie so you finally decided to cheek on Percy huh well he is well now after waking up so don't worry if you were worried about that me as well as Grover are fine as well if you want to know .

hearing me she rolled her eyes though she smilled at me a bit making me do the same i glanced and noticed that Percy was quite surprised that i knew Annabeth already smirking a bit at him i decided to try and prank him since i knew that he was going to be embarest .

''uh about that no not quite but what ever and yes i know that you as well as Grover are fine wiskers so stop it ok ''Annabeth told me making me smirk at her in return .

''yeah i know but still i had to say it out since you know given the fact that you showed such an interst twoards one of my best friends i thought that you might not care about littel old me and simply discard me in favor of Percy since he was hurt and not i .

Annabeth gave me a look and she was a bit embarest she rolled her grey storm eyes while her face had a small almost faint like blush that showed she was embarest by my words .

''stop it Naruto you know that this is nothing like that since Chiron asked me to do that so there is nothing for you to even jump to conclusions or think that i had some what forget about you after all how can i since you hang out with me these past three days .

i smirked at her since that was true but even so i did not regret doing that since Annabeth was an intersting company not to mention she was not like Sakura even if she was geting a bit annoyed by my coments or small jokes .

''hey come on don't get mad at me i mean i was just saying you know since you did get a bit intersted in my best friend not that i mind you know but still i just don't want to be left on the outside by the two of you .

Annabeth smirked at me after hearing my words even if i did not knew what she was saying i was some what thinking about it and well it was wierd but seeing her smirk it was even more wierder than what i was thinking about .

''can you stop with that smirk since it's a bit wierd you know honestly it's as if you are reading my mind or something ''i said earning a nother smirk from her that was a bit annoying .

''i don't know what are you talking about wiskers maybe you should try and elaborate so i can understand a bit better on what are you thinking ''seeing the smirk that was more like a cat that wanted to show her claws and get ready to act at what ever moment thought it was right ,it made me shake my head and sigh since this was not good for that smirk that Annabeth had was one that showed she was not only enjoying this which was making me look wierd but she was also was some what trying to tell me that she was in control of the curent situation .

''you are wierd you know i mean what will you even get if i were to tell you what i m thinking about anyway ?''asking that was a bit odd since Annabeth gave me a look that showed a way to happy smile while her eyes where wierdly shining as if she was some what acting like an owl that was attracted to shiny objects .

''hm did you said something wiskers ''she replied acting as if what i told her was not even a thing this made me question if she was alright or if somehow she was acting a bit wierd i wanted to not think about it but i decied in the end that she wanted to just mess with me or wanted to flirt with me which ever it was the trough was that it was working and it was wierd .

''it was nothing Annie nothing at all but you sure act strange i mean what are you trying to even tell me here don't tell me that you ...'' i said when i thought of something but i decided to not continue since it was way to odd to think about it but it was posible though i did not knew if Annabeth was simply joking or was she serios with how she was acting sudenly .

''hey don't call me Annie wiskers and what ever you are thinking forget it ok i mean it was just a joke but you can't obviosly take one do you uhg what ever wiskers ''

now Annabeth was mad since she was frowning at me deciding to call me wiskers i did not knew why she decided that and was in no way about to find out since it was a hassel to try and understand what she was thinking so i dropped it .

''what ever Annie if you want i can help you out ''she gave me a look not saying a thing when she after a shrugg simply decided to let me do as i wanted .

''i wont stop you from calling me that will i well what ever fine you can come and try to help me if you want i think you just want to hang out more with me but you could had said that instead of going about it in this way ''

i was a bit embarst hearing thouse words from Annabeth but i grinned at her since she was right not only with me not going about to refer to her by her full first name but also with me hanging around her again though she was not so against this for a wierd reason ,not that i mind it since i was glad to spend time with Annabeth .

''uh sorry and yes you are right i wont stop from calling you by that name any time soon '' i said to her making her groan but she did smiled even if faintely twoards me .

''of course you wouldn't wiskers ''Annabeth replyed back while smirking again at me .i simply grinned at her in return since i did not wanted to let her just have the advantage over me .

''yeah you better get used to that Annie so what are we waiting for lets go already ''Annabeth sighed giving me a look while the others who simply watched us smirked at us saying nothing while we were talking for a few minutes .

''eager aren't you fine i guess we could go since i have nothing better to do at the moment '' hearing that i let out a grin since this was a nice plan for i had nothing better to do my self i knew that i could train a bit later and so i chose to do that leaving my time free for the moment .

before we could leave i saw Percy glance at Annabeth he was observing taking noticed that she was our age but a bit taller than the two of us and a whole lot more athletic looking. With her deep tan and her curly blond hair, she was almost exactly what he thought a stereotypical California girl would look like, except her eyes ruined the image. probably in his opinion for in mine Annabeth had very beutifule eyes They were startling gray, like storm clouds; pretty, but intimidating, too, as if she was analyzing the best way to take some one down in a fight.

She glanced at the minotaur horn that was in Percy's hand then back at him making him more flustered than he was already i could had probably already imagine what Annabeth was thinking with out trying to voice it out since to Percy he was probably thinking about something along the lines of .

You killed a minotaur! or Wow, you're so awesome! or something like that it was very funny but in trough Annie was not thinking about that well i did not knew if she was maybe she did maybe she did not i did not knew or want to know since thouse were private thoughts even if they were funny .

we were quite surprised when suddenly instead of what Percy thought about what she might say she answered with ."You drool when you sleep." that made me laugh while Grover ,Mr Chiron and even Mr D where smirking or chukeling at the words while Percy was embarest by this .

''ups sorry Perce i guess that means you were rejected ''i said in a joking manner earning a look from him as well as Annabeth who was a bit taken aback since she did not expected that she wanted to say something but she did not while Percy was embarest and simply glared at me for saying that to him .

''ah just shut up Naruto go hang out with your girlfriend since i after all had been rejected as you put it and you reacted quite amusingly and eagerly as well isn't it ?'' at the words i was embarest since there was no denying there even if i wanted to say it was not true i averted my gaze while my face was a bit red ,Annabeth was surprised and even shocked as well as embarest after she heard Percy out she wanted to tell him something but again chose against and she simply decided to run off down the lawn, her blond hair flying behind her. while we where watching her .

"So," I said, anxious to change the subject. "You, uh, work here, Mr. Brunner?"

hearing Percy snapped me out from my mood and made me pay attention

"Not Mr. Brunner," the ex—Mr. Brunner said. "I'm afraid that was a pseudonym. You may call me Chiron."

Percy was confused which was understandable since he still did not expected something like what was happening now to the two of us to be real .

"Okay." Totally confused, I looked at the director. "And Mr. D ... does that stand for something?"

right away i knew this was not going to look good since Percy just said something like that it was not his fault for the man did not gave his name but he was grumpy and a grumpy drunking person was not a really funny person .

Mr. D stopped shuffling the cards. He looked at me like I'd just belched loudly. "Young man, names are powerful things. You don't just go around using them for no reason."

''hey come on now how is Percy supose to know that i mean he dose not know that you are a god dose he now ? we might have learn about you but we did not trully belived that you were real till now did we ?'' i said that to mr D who was grumping since he did not liked my words ,Percy was looking at me in shock not beliving what i just said .

"Oh. Right. Sorry." i heard Percy apologising still being shocked about my words regurding mr D .

"I must say, Percy," Chiron-Brunner broke in, "I'm glad to see you alive. It's been a long time since I've made a house call to a potential camper. I'd hate to think I've wasted my time." .

hearing that we bought looked at him wanderying about what he was talking about .

''house call ?'' we bought said at the same time still being confused by his words .

"My year at Yancy Academy, to instruct you. We have satyrs at most schools, of course, keeping a lookout. But Grover alerted me as soon as he met you. He sensed you were something special, so I decided to come upstate. I convinced the other Latin teacher to ... ah, take a leave of absence."

now we were very surprised to me it made a lot of sense now after hearing the words of mr Chiron .

''aha so it was you who did that i guess you knew we meaning me and Percy were demigods and i bet you knew already who are our parents then since i did told mrs Alecto about that and she did call Percy the son of the sea god '' Chiron noded even if he did not liked that Grover even less but mr D was now surprised by this since he was looking at Percy as if he was trying to decided on what to do even i was under his scrutiny but he left me be returning to Percy again but left him alone right after .

we tried to forget about that since we did rember that the beginning of the school year. It seemed like so long ago, but I did have a fuzzy memory of there being another Latin teacher my first week at Yancy. Then, without explanation, he had disappeared and Mr. Brunner had taken the class.

"You came to Yancy just to teach us ? i asked while Naruto had a surprise look after hearing my words .

Chiron nodded. "Honestly, I wasn't sure about you at first and with you Naruto things were even more strange since your smell was not only powerfule but we detected strange energies coming from you. three if i don't doubt but i don't know as what they are so that was why i and Grover especially decided to keep an eye on you two boys , We contacted your mother Percy to, let her know we were keeping an eye on you in case you were ready for Camp Half-Blood. But you still had so much to learn. Nevertheless, you made it here alive, and that's always the first test."

bought me and Percy were amazed as well as stunned after hearing something like this from Mr Chiron me especially since he some how detected my chakra but i was confused as to hear that i had three chakra's within me i was very confused about this ,glancing at Percy he now had an expresion that showed he finally understood what his mom said when we were at montauk when we were roasting burgers and marshmellowes at the camp fire .

we were intrupted from our thoughts when mr D spoke with Grover .

"Grover," Mr. D said impatiently, "are you playing or not?"

"Yes, sir!" Grover trembled as he took the fourth chair, though I didn't know why he should be so afraid of a pudgy little man in a tiger-print Hawaiian shirt.

"You do know how to play pinochle?" Mr. D eyed me suspiciously.

''uh nope he dose not mr D ''i told him and the man let a small disapointed groan but chose to not say a thing after that chosing to ignore the words i said all toghether .

''goddness greatious we are playing with an amature ah what a waste '' me and Percy heard the man complaining we did not liked that but we chose to let the man be .

"Well," he told me, "it is, along with gladiator fighting and Pac-Man, one of the greatest games ever invented by humans. I would expect all civilized young men to know the rules."

we bought rolled our eyes at him since the man acted as if we had or needed to already know the rules of the game when it was clear that we did not well to me not so much unlike Percy who was only now playing .

"I'm sure the boy can learn," Chiron said.

at that i agreed but i saw that Percy was very confused and wanted to understand where he was and what the place was not that i blamed him since he did not saw the camp like i did and after what had happen to him the other night i did not expect for Percy to get used to all this so fast like i did .

"Please," I said, "what is this place? What am I doing here? Mr. Brun—Chiron—why would you go to Yancy Academy just to teach us ?

''i think that is quite simple Percy we are demi gods but i think we are not ordinary am i right cause other wise you would had not come to Yancy for us yourself and i think that in what way are we special might have something to do not only with the gods but the titans i think the reason you showed us that stelle was to learn about this about the titan king and if it is true then he is coming back isn't he ? if so then you need our help well if not mine then i bet my ramen bawls that you need Percy's becaus of who his dad is i bet he is involved in something very important that might be linked to the fate of the very world since we saw the fates mr Chiron and they did not appare with out a reason and i bet this is a very very important reason if he is rising again .

saying that with a calm face did brought some shocked stunned expresions since mr Chiron was looking at me with a very shocked stunned surprised face while saying nothing making me understand that i was in a way right .

mr D he too had a shocked face his grumpy expresion being for a few moments replaced with amazement and then he narrowed his eyes at me as if he wanted to learn how i did knew about something like this ,to be honest his serios expresion made me glup a bit since the man as grumpy and uncarying as he showed he wanted to be he was quite scary when he was serious . Grover bleahed being not only shocked and extremily surprised but he was also quite scared by my words since he knew i was honest with what i had said .

Percy was the most shocked since he was gawking at me with a disbelife expresion showing he was anxious as well as scared since he did trembelled a bit after hearing me out . i did not made things better for him when i looked at the tabel with a calm but serious expresion as if i wanted to seal my words with the look that i had at the moment my eyes showing that i did not lied to them with my words as well as choice .

''by the Chiron who is this kid i can not belive this he amazing young man you just had in a way unintentionaly reavealled the great prophecy to not only us but Perseus Jackson here i must say my father and the others will not like this but i m afraid that yes Naruto Uzumaki you are corect . he is coming back or trying at least .

hearing mr D out who looked at me with an amazed expresion that made the others mostely mr Chiron and even Grover look at the man with surprise after hearing and seeing the said man's reaction the two glanced at me bought being again very surprised .Grover simply smiled while shaking his head as if he wanted to say that only i could do or say things like this with out much of a problem or care while mr Chiron smirked having a similar reaction as Grover did after hearing that from mr D .

me and Percy simply looked at them as if they were crazy since even if i some what might had said something like that it did not meant that i wanted to hear about some great prophecy or what ever right away i groaned not liking this since i knew it was going to be a mess ,Percy simply was lost and confused not geting what was going on and he looked even more lost that he was at the moment .

''wow holy Olympus Naruto what the freaking heck you littel man have one heck of a sharp mind i mean you figured this out i have to say it is impresive if Annabeth where to hear of this no heck if her mom were to hear of this oh boy she might come here herself and take you away and probably lock you away so she might have a look at your head honestly that i mean what you have said when you refered to this meaning Percy having an very important role that is conected not only to the gods but the titans as well and how the world is or might be placed in danger ,i have to say that was amazing and awsome really who ever is your mom she uhh might be the most awsome woman or godess that had or could ever be if she had you and gave you this much of a sharp instincts .

hearing that from Grover who was very surprised as well as amazed since i said thouse things looked at me with a great amount of shock as well as interest and if i was not wrong his eyes where starting to shine a bit . hearing him out made me very embarest but also scared me a bit when he refered to Annabeth's mom or even her in person since i was not that smart but i simply made a guess after what my mom told me and after what i did learned form mr Chiron's classes even if they were a bit boring to me i did liked them and so i wanted to try and learn a bit even if it did appared to be a bit of a chore to do . i was embarest and wanted to tell Grover to stop since this was not cool . but he embarest me even more when he mentioned my mom .

though i had to laugh inside since Grover was starting to sweat and shake a bit sounding a littel scared but again he acted a bit wierd since the look he had on his face was the same look that the girls back home had for Sasuke since he was acting all cool and awsome even if he was very annoying in my opinion .

''well this is quite corect and i guess you have a valid point young Grover but please lets not discus this untill further notice since we do not know much for sure regurding Naruto or Percy and about what you had said about Naruto's mother well she is a very important goddess so it stand to reason that Naruto being her son is only normal for him to show such a sharp intuition since his mother is a very cuning and very sharp woman .

the others were silent after mr Chiron said that though again i was embarest and wanted him to stop but i had the feeling he was not about to do that since he maybe wanted to embarst me for some reason and i did not liked it at all since i was not some one people could or should embarest .

''yes you have quite the point my dear centaur regurding that secret but it is amazing that this young lad here had managed to figure it out even if he did not heard the prophecy in it self .

we gave mr D a look when he spoke now all returned to normal even there was a small tention that hanged in the air that made things a bit uncomfortable .

''ok i get it i might some what figure something about a very scary and important prophecy but can you please stop it cause this is embaresing beside i don't think that Percy is the only one involved in this secret prophecy i bet that there might be a few diferent people who are in it too but i think that all will come down to Percy and some one else who might be here and i might have a small clue as to who that might be and if i m right then this is bad cause that certain person that i wont give a name might do something something very bad and i bet it was this unmentioned person that i m curently talking about that might had the thread cut and if so this unnamed person might die i m certain of this but i don't know if it will be by Percy's hand or he will do it himself but one thing is certain this unnamed person will have to die either by having no choice or by probably wanting to do that himself .

again after what i said at first the tabel or more like the ones who stood at the said tabel where amused about what i said at first but then things once again became very confusing and even hard to follow since i was misteryous with my words but now after almost three days that i had been to the camp i knew with clear certaintee that Luke was going to betray the camp and thouse who loved and cared for him i did not knew why he wanted to do that but i was some how able to see or more likely feel his anger anger at his dad and the olympian gods for what i did not knew but this anger was so bad that Luke decided to probably make some kind of contract and i did not wanted to think but if the crazy titan king was about to come back from what me and Percy heard as well as learned form mr Chrion and saw the night we came to camp it was probably likely that the titan king was working through Luke .

''oh my from your words it might sound that what you have told us again might be something bad i presume you might have a clue about all this and to hear that there are a few others who are a part of the great phrophecy this is very intersting as well as concerning would you not say so Chiron ?

mr D who acted as if he was intrigued even if he was not spoke not making things better since they became even more gloom and bad thanks to me . mr Chiron was very surprised and a bit stunned after hearing that the great phrophecy was not only revolving around Percy but a few others after learning that i talked about the fate sisters as well as how we meet before we came to camp and saw how they cut he thread of Luke was surely very intersting to hear from me .

though the rest was very bad and quite grim since hearing how Percy and Luke somehow in the end of all this mess had to make a choice about who will die betwin them or who had to be killed for the world to be safe from the titan king was not cool to anyone especially Percy who looked very scared about the fact that he had to probably kill some one .i understood him since this was bad but i had to say it was probably something that the sisters wanted to happen since they saw what probably was about to come and that was why they decided to appear before us and cut the thread wanting to probably tell us that we can be the hope for the world against the titan king and his forces .

''perhaps but we should not talk about such matters at the moment mr D '' mr Chiron told mr D with a calm expresion showing he wanted to stop the man from talking further since he did not wished to make things even more gloom or bad than they were already .

''alright so be it old friend though i wander about this whole thing '' we heard mr D talking showing that he was not very pleased by the whole wierd Prophecy that had been brought in to discution because of me .

The camp director dealt the cards. Grover flinched every time one landed in his pile.

Chiron smiled at me sympathetically, the way he used to in Latin class, as if to let me know

that no matter what my average was, I was his star student. He expected me to have the right

answer.

"Percy," he said. "Did your mother tell you nothing?' mr Chiron asked with a calm expresion . we bought looked at him since we rembered what mrs Jackson said to Percy .

"She said ..." I remembered her sad eyes, looking out over the sea. "She told me she was

afraid to send me here, even though my father had wanted her to. She said that once I was here, I

probably couldn't leave. She wanted to keep me close to her."

Percy said with a heavy tone as well as a sad gaze .that made me feel bad as well as Grover since he flinched at the reminder blaming himself for all this .

''Perce that was not your mom's fault she just wanted you safe what is wrong with that i for one would had been happy to know that some one like your mom would had wanted me to be keep alive despite the dangers ''i told him that i knew i was being wrong since in a way it was not fair for Percy to have the trough hidden away from him and my words did not need to remind my best friend of that especially after what happen but i said it since mrs Jackson did her best despite the situation she found herself in since she placed Percy's life above her own ,in a way it made me smile since that showed just how awsome mrs Jackson was . in a small way i was thinking a bit of my own mom who despite what had happen she too tried her best even if things were not as she might had wished but i was not angry well not to much since at least my mom and dad cared about me unlike some other adults who probably did not cared about their own children especially kids like us .

"Typical," Mr. D said. "That's how they usually get killed. ''mr D replyed and made us look at him me and Percy were frowning at him being iritated by his words while mr Chiron simply had a slight frown on his face even Grover did not liked the words of the man .

''hey what is that supose to mean huh ? you mean to say that it is mrs Jackson's fault for what happen well if you guys would had just budd out then none of this would had happen would it ? but noo you just had to let things be i mean how hard can it be for you guys to tell that girl guy to stop acting like a cry baby he is what millenia years old and he acts like a five months baby who want's his milk from the bottel but can't have it cause it was stolen so all he can do is to throw a fit like a moronic idiot what a loser and he is in charge well i say fat chance you might as well set this place as well as the world on fier with how he acts and dose things .

hearing me out the others gave me looks mr D was very shocked but he was also smirking after hearing the insults that i said twoards his father .mr Chiron simply gave me a look showing he was not aproving with my words but i did not cared what he thought .

Percy was simply staring at me shaking his head while smiling since he knew i liked to annoy people even if i should not .and Grover was pale and was looking about to faint or frot at the mouth being almost about to get up and run away hoping he was not going to be blasted because of me .

''N Naruto c can y you please stop it really you are asking for it trying to get on the lord of the sky's nerves '' i rolled my eyes while smirking after hearing Grover's warning i took consideration since he had a point but i was not afraid since i had a right to make fun of the guy since he was really acting like a jerk thinking that he had the right to do what he wanted just because he was big while others had to fear him just because of that i did not liked that since that guy was arogant and arogance was a thing that i disliked a lot mostely because of Sasuke who was acting a bit like that guy .

''ah stop it Grover i m not afraid of that guy what is he going to do blast me sent me to his brother's place to be juged well that would be his choice wouldn't it give how i get on his nerves well he can try but let's see how is that right since he did so many horrible things and what happen the other night just prove's it let's see how sending an inocent to after life for doing nothing to him proves to be right cause it is not and he knows it he is a cowered who hides behind his rules and his home when he should be the one who should face jugment and be cast away along side thouse who wronged the world and it's enhabitants then we will see how justice is trully made and brought out .

the others were silent when i spoke though even if my words struck a cord bought mr Chiron and mr D were giving me coutious looks since they did not really liked my words at the moment even if i was honest .

''uhm Naruto perhaps it will be best to not take things to such a personal level though i do admier your courage and your enthusiasm for speaking the trough please do not seek a battel where it is none .i do understand if you are despleased with the decisions most of the gods do seem to take but please do not react and acuse even if you have the best kind of intentions .

mr Chiron told me since he wanted to stop what i was conveying at the moment i remained silent since i did nothing wrong and i was not angry either nor was i looking to pick a fight since i was just being honest about how most of these guys were taking things and were acting as well .

''mr Chiron i was not trying to pick a fight and stop trying to assume that i was going to look for one what i said was and is nothing but the trough since it is but you guys don't like that why i don't get it since if you guys are so powerfule then why do this huh why cause pain and troubel to others i mean you are doing this just because you are what gods and belive you have the right ?, tell me what right you have to do all this huh cause if you have a right then why not us humans huh ? what you are saying that we are so low so below you that we are not capable of doing that , well i have to say that you guys really are arogant so arogant in fact that you belive that you can do what ever you like since you think you have the right . well let me tell you that you don't have that right since you are simply destroying the very thing you are trying to protect if you want to kill us then go ahead do it but you will be helled acounted for that and you will be punished for it because you failed ,but if you are not doing this because of that but because of some kind of ilusion that you might think you have the rights you belive you do then i can say you are simply trash and failiers in my eyes since you let your own power and desilusion to get to your heads .

i can't blame you since you guys are old very old but don't think that just because of that you have right of things cause you don't just as we don't really have rights to much just as you . and if you will continue like this then i can say that i will break your notion of this high place and show just how wrong you guys trully are ''

the words that i said stunned the group who were looking at me with wide eyes and slacked jaws not expecting my words to sound so serious mr D was giving me a very calm but serious look as if he wanted to show he was not scared and tried to intimidate me but i was not afraid of him one bit ,mr Chiron simply stared at me with a shocked expresion since he did not expected my words to be this deep and serious .

Grover was simply stunned like Percy bought were staring at me with awaed expresions after hearing what i said the two clearly did not expected for me to be this serious .

''oh really Naruto Uzumaki you have quite the mouth on you daring to say things like this ,you better watch yourself brat cause you do not know who you are talking with .

mr D suddenly talked saying my full name the look he gave me scared Percy and Grover since the man was very calm almost eerly calm and around himself an aura was forming while vaines were wraping around himself and his eyes where suddenly glowing showing me things that would had driven any person insaine ,that would had worked and would had been scary if it would had been anyone else but i was not scared since i was simply honest with my words and i did not to fight . mr Chiron was giving mr D a warning look wanting to tell him to stop .

''no i will not whatch my mouth nor what i will say to either you or anyone else since i am a ninja now and from now on i will not run or back down since i m not a cowered i will stand up to people like you and prove you wrong because you think you are right just like them well i will prove all of you wrong since i will not run or back down for this from now on will be my ninja code as well as way .

i replied back showing my conviction that surprised mr Chiron ,D and bought my friends ,mr D gave me a cold frowning look wanting to make me reconsider my words and be scared of him but i simply looked at him right in his glowing eyes showing no fear or hesitation since i was not scared of the man nor i wanted to be just because he was a god .

''you still dare to stand up to me as well as us even if you don't have a chance boy ''mr D replied with a serios tone mocking me a bit i simply snorted at the words returning the look with my own that was piercing and very sharp as well as serios .that seemed to have taken him by surprise even if by a bit since he did moved back a littel after seeing my piercing sharp stare .

''i will not run nor hide since i will walk the path of a ninja from now on and even mor demi god so i will not be afraid of you and the rest of your so called gods since i will walk a path of my own that will have no regrets so i will not be afraid nor will i run like a cowered for my friends as well as my dad and mom belived in me so i will do what they wanted and that is to look after thouse who can not and protect them so if i will have to protect my friends be it monsters people like us and even you i will do it and with out a regret since this is my choice my ninja path .

mr D ,Chiron and also Percy as well as Grover looked at me with amazed looks Percy was so amazed that he was smiling grining from ear to ear ,Grover was about to laugh after hearing what i said since he was twiching while he was shaking his head having a big grin present on his face ,mr Chiron was simply stunned not saying a word and he was simply looking at me as if i was insaine which in a way i could have probably be after saying something like this since i challenged beings that were far wiser and older than me with out a care .

mr D was shocked just like mr Chiron after hearing me out the man simply remained like that for a few moments when he came back and gave me a very serious look that let me think about what he might want from me i was not far of thinking of him wanting to either blast me or turn me in to some kind of animal for what i said and i would had not blame the guy for what i told him but he was just looking at me and that was worrying me since i did not knew what he might try to do after i challenge him like that .

''hm hahahaha really what a funny joke boy you are very funny i mean talking like that ah what a jester don't you think Chiron i have not meet some one like you kid in a very long time you are so funny '' i as well as Percy and Grover were taken by surprise when we saw mr D actually laughing .i was not amused since i was not making a joke . Grover felt the same just as Percy did since he too knew that i did not made a joke about something like this .

''hey i was very serious you know so stop taking this as a joke ''i said but the fatty man simply continued to laugh at me as if i said a joke to him .

''oh i m sure about that boy but tell me do you trully want to test us boy belive me we are not so friendly kid we could erase you with a snap and be done with you '' at the words mr Chiron gave mr D a warning Grover had shaking pale face and Percy was shocked for a few moments not beliving what mr D said and even how he said it hearing the nonchelantic tone annoyed me as well as Percy and we bought ended up glaring at the fatty man Percy glaring the hardest since he did not liked the words that the man said to me .

''oh pipe down you brats it's not like i m going to erase you two not if you don't force me that is but you are welcome to try you know '' me and Percy glared at the man showing we were annoyed by him i chose to ignore the man but i was a bit crosed so i let out a bit of my chakra enveloping my body in the familiar blue aura wanting to show mr D that i was not so helpless as he thought . even Percy was almost about to call the water around himself only to show mr D that he too was not kidding and was serios .

''ohh so the brats have some back bone huh well boys i think i might start to like you two since you might not be so helpless after all unlike most of the rest of this lot that unfortunatly i have been grounded to look after .

mr D responded with a slight grin that remained for a few moments when it vanished his expresion being back to his bored annoyed one from before me and Percy glanced at each other trying to understand what just happen cause what we saw was a bit unexpected since it appared that a god and one who was grumpy at most if not at best was earning our attention and he showed us a slight glimps of respect .this was wierd but we did not question it and left things at that .

we bought decided to calm down me i withdrew my chakra and Percy stopped influencing the water or at least i thought he was trying to do that when he was annoyed .

''you bought are crazy you know that . what you did was kind of cool but crazy as well '' Grover said showing a grin ,that made us grin as well since he had a point .

''well you know us g man we just can't stay away from trying to be awsome ,uh i would not put it like that but Naruto has a point since this was quite intersting ''we said making Grover sneaker and shake his head while the two of us simply started to laugh at the words .

''yes you are corect you two but please refraime from further antagonising acts since we are not here to fight but to learn ''mr Chiron told us even if it was a shame that we were stopped we gave a nod since we did not want to cause troubel or huge troubel at least .

''no let them Chiron at least these two are entertaiming at best since it is quite funny to see them riled up like this trying to fight against us thinking that they actually pose a threat ''

mr D said with a snorting tone a moking smirk was present on the man's face Percy gave a scowling look twoards the man since he did not liked that he was mocked by the man who was a god from what we bought had learned while me well i was simply annoyed by him and wanted to wipe the smirk right of his face but i decided to let him think he was in control since i knew how to get back at him for trying to make me and Percy angry .

''you are a jerk you know that ''i told the man who simply pretended that i was not there since he was acting as if i said nothing to him and that grined on my nerves .

''hm you said something peter jhonsen '' hearing that from mr D annoyed my best friend while i smile a bit since this reminded me of some one who was saying a similar phrase but with out the mocking name that mr D applied .

''it's Percy Jackson ''i said with a tone as well as a look since i did not liked how this man was making fun of me .

''hm that is what i said plancy exon '' hearing that Percy was at first surprised as well as me but then Percy was starting to get mad since he was being mocked i sneakerd since the name was funny .

''it's Percy Jackson sir ''we heard Grover tell the man who gave him a look .

''hm again that's what i said too grober unberboob '' now me and Percy sneakered at the name since it was funny Grover was not amused since he felt insulted though unlike us he simply blushed remaining silent .

''it's Grover Underwood sir ''Grover replied with a calm tone still being embarest .

''hm is it groby i thought that you were called glover undertree'' mr D replied with a calm tone but he was smirking that gave me and Percy a laugh since the man as annoying as he was he was really funny and annoying when he wanted to be .

''mr D can you please stop it and it's Grover Underwood got it ''Grover said now showing he was annoyed in normal circumstances Grover would had pale and faint for even talking like this to some one like mr D and me as well as Percy grinned and showed our thumbs up since we were behind him after having some back bone .

''oh really now i thought your name was clarabell unberwood but if you are sure well who am i to desagree with you '' me and Percy started to laugh when we heard Grover being called Clarabell since that was a girl's name in a strainge way it probably would had suited him like me and maybe even Percy but that was probably my imagination teling me this and not how i was actually thinkinng but i did not care which was which since either way this was very funny .

''mr D i would like for you to stop sir understand ''Grover said trying to keep calm me and Percy as well as Chiron being amused by this saw how Grover despite being flustered by the man he was starting to get annoyed by him as well .

''hm stop what pinker underbarrywood cause i don't follow ''Grover got very embarest hearing the new name while me and Percy were snorting almost being about to fall to the ground and roll in laughter even mr Chiron was smirking lightly showing he was enjoying the way mr D was intentionally making fun of Grover .

''ok mr D i think that this is enough since we still have things to discus with young Percy here after all ''mr D said nothing but we bought saw him making a small whining expresion showing he did not wish to stop . wierdly as it was me and Percy did not want that either sure it was not fun when the man messed with us but when it was some one else the man was sure some one who could prove to be very funny .

''ok what ever it's not like i had fun making umberwoold trying to feel bad ''mr D said again messing with Grover who whined wanting to not be the middel of attraction again me and Percy laughed at this while mr Chiron shaked his head not saying a thing but wanting this to stop as well .

''uh hum sure he was not making fun of Grover right Percy ?''i told him with a low tone while smirking making him do the same shaking his head in a positive manner wanting to agree with me we bought shared a small laugh grining after that .mr Chiron gave us a look stoping us since the man wanted for us to stop and try to pay attention to him .

''Young man, are you bidding or not?''mr D suddenly asked geting our attention back to the game that the four where trying to play .

What?" I asked. Naruto simply had a smile on his face after i answered like that it was a bit annoying but i was simply embarest since i did not knew what to do .

''i think mr D asked if you want to bid or not ''i told Percy who made an oh expresion after realising what the man asked him to do right away he did after understanding the situation .

''excelent see your friend here is quite smart Peter '' i grunted when i was insulted again by this man but i chose to let him be instead of answere to him since i knew he was probably going to make fun of me either way .

"I'm afraid there's too much to tell," Chiron said. "I'm afraid our usual orientation film won't

be sufficient."suddenly we bought heard mr Chiron talk and this made the two of us wander what did the man was talking about .

"Orientation film?" we bought asked looking at one another not expecting something like this mr D was acting like he was not carying when mr Chiron talked about this but me and Percy were lost after hearing about this .

"No," Chiron the two of us look at him in expectation not knowing what he might tell us next .

"Well, Percy. Naruto You know your friend Grover is a satyr,he started with the two of us noding since we did saw him the other night when he came for us after he managed to escape from the bull .

You know"—

he pointed to the horn in the shoe box .we bought looked at it rembering well how we got them since we worked toghether to finish that guy .''that you have killed the Minotaur. No small feat, either,lads .What you may not know is that great powers are at work in your lives. Gods—the forces you

call the Greek gods—are very much alive."

we stared at the others around the table i already knew this was quite real since there were wierd stuff happening for more than a year already and after what me and Percy meet and saw not to mention that my own mom talked to me through a statue no less teling me about what was going on in more or less words and also how mr Chiron even talked about things like these in his class it was not surprising at least to me but Percy on the other hand ...

I waited for somebody to yell, Not! But all I got was Mr. D yelling, "Oh, a royal marriage.

Trick! Trick!" He cackled as he tallied up his points.

"Mr. D," Grover asked timidly, "if you're not going to eat it, could I have your Diet Coke

can?" i sneakerd at Grover since he was acting well like himself though it was wierd to see some one like him wanting to eat an diet coke since it was made from aluminium

"Eh? Oh, all right." we saw mr D giving an answere not carying very much .

we watched Grover bit a huge shard out of the empty aluminum can and chewed it mournfully .

"Wait," I told Chiron. "You're telling me there's such a thing as God."i made a face after Percy said that since he was acting funny but i did not blamed him it was even funier when mr Chiron gave Percy a look as if he wanted to corect him after saying that mr D was impasive but he too was giving Percy a look wanting to warn him as if he needed or should be carfule with his words . it was obvious that these guys did not liked the word God nor did they wanted to think about him as being the only one ,it was amusing since this was so silly for there was no need from these guys to act like this since they were not the only Godly beings around the world .

"Well, now," Chiron said. "God—capital G, God. That's a different matter altogether. We

shan't deal with the metaphysical." i snorted a bit after hearing that explination since it was quite obvious that mr Chiron was dismissing what Percy said placing all this as nothing than a big fantastical explination while he refered to God showing that he did not wish to recognise him that much but it was understanding since these guys were praying to multiple gods not that it was something that we back home in my world were not doing it but we did recognise that God was present .

"Metaphysical? But you were just talking about—"i gave a nother small snort after hearing Percy who was still surprised by what he had heard .

''don't worry Percy you have a point but you see your familly and even my own apparently have multiple and diferent gods but you see there is a God as you put it only that to your familly members they don't care or want to care about him while in mine we at least accept that God trully exists and he is watching over everything i m sure he dose that too here as well but he maybe dose not want to deal with this meaning your familly i do not blame him since this is wierd no offence by the way .

mr D ,mr Chiron as well as Grover were giving me looks Grover was not to harsh but mr Chiron and especially mr D were looking quite despleased mr D especially since the man was thinking if he should have set me on fier or do who knows what because of what i said .

''Naruko umezaki i would watch what i m saying if you don't want to be blasted to bits bah as if talking about things like these gives you a right to criticise how we are doing things we don't need the supervision of God boy so i would watch that mouth if i were you ''

Percy as well as Grover gluped and flintched after hearing as well as seeing the face that mr D was giving me ,Chiron gave the man a look but he was also giving me one showing he did not really agreed with my words though he did nothing much .

''my name is Naruto Uzumaki for once and second why do you care i mean you sure act as if you are insulted if God exists then leave him alone did he did some thing to you if not then why do you care do you have ego's that are so big that you don't want to accept others i think this is it isn't it you don't like when others are taking over and leave you away . you guys sure care a lot about who or what is going on around isn't it well i get it but if you care then maybe you should all work toghether instead of trying to show who is more better cause the world is placed in danger because of your squabbells at least God who ever he might trully be dose not creat problems around the world dose he ? he dose not go around and blast people and let's monsters go after my friends and their only mother and watch how a very kind and nice person is taken away just like that no he dose not dose that he might watch and probably wait but he could intervene but i think he might not want to involve himself with you guys since you are capable to handel yourselves but you do not intervene now do you but you sure like to show off and take inocent person's out cause you like it .

saying that again stunned the tabel Percy was gawking at me for the words i said but he was also sad since i made him rember what happen to mrs Jackson who we bought knew she did not deserve to be taken away but she was and all because of one guy who had a fit instead of trying to do what was right .

Grover was pale and shaking but he too was gawking at me not expecting to hear me say things like these and chew mr D and the rest of his familly out again talking about mr D the man now was again silent but he was looking at me ready to murder me because of my words even mr Chiron despite not saying a thing did not agreed with what i said but he was silent and a bit sad after hearing my words out i did not knew what the man was thinking seeing how silent he was but what ever it was i wandered if he was thinking about what i said .

''you are really annoying Naruko you know that maybe i should turn you in to a fly and skwat you away with a flyer then maybe i can have some peace and quiet.

i ignored mr D since i did not want to give him the satisfaction for that was just going to prove my words being true regurding these guys in the first place .

''mr D stop it you don't have to harm Naruto ,and you Naruto please understand that we are not exactly as many would expect since we are trying to keep things in order despite not trying to rely on God it is not because we do not want or wish for this but we have allways been people who decided to stick to our own devices rather than try to let others in to our home so this is why we are trying to be quit present than other Deities but it dose not mean we do not respect them since you are right in thinking that it is quite folish of us to be the only ones and not accept others as well .

mr D snorted showing he did not agreed with mr Chiron but me i grinned since i liked hearing that even Percy thought it was quite good hearing the words of our favorite teacher ,Grover was simply silent wanting to stay out of this .

''don't worry mr Chiron i understand after all i m not to much of a religious person but i do belive that anyone should be accepted and anyone should have the right to belive in what or whom they want to belive i mean isn't that what freedome is all about the fact that we can all chose even if things could be good or wrong ?

i said earning nods from my friends who agreed and also from mr Chiron who gave me a smile showing he agreed with my answere since there was a point in what i said .

''you are very right Naruto everyone has the right of choice and it should not be juged but we also know that the world is not allways like that but we should leave that to some other time shall we .mr Chiron said his expresion chainging for a few moments surprising Percy and me since the man for a few brif moments trully did looked older than he should be but then all chainged the man's expresion returning to normal as if nothing had happen .

''now where were we ah i rember i was telling you two about the existance of the gods as is plural as well as in, great beings that control the forces of nature and human endeavors:

the immortal gods of Olympus. That's a smaller matter." we bought sweat droped at the ancient man who was our former latine teacher after hearing that since to the two of us this was not just some small matter but if the man thought about this as beeing a small matter then we chose to let him think like that .

"Smaller?"Percy said with a face .it made me laugh seeing him having such a flat expresion after saying something like that

Yes, quite. The gods we discussed in Latin class."mr Chiron told us earning our attention at the words .

"Zeus," I said. "Hera. Apollo. You mean them."i sneakerd hearing Percy say that we bought heard thundering in the distance i simply did not care and chose to not care how an egotistical man was acting just because some one said his name with out showing him respect as if Percy wanted to do that since it was obvious he did not knew what to belive and i could not blame him for once since he was thinking he was normal and then bam now he was learning about a new and diferent world that he was keept away from till now just like i did .

''yup that's right Perce but you know maybe we should stop since these guys don't like how we are talking about them if the thunder that we heard was anything to say about .

i replied with a cherfule tone that made Percy grin mr Chiron gave a shake of his head chukeling at my antics as well as choice of words ,Grover just smiled doing the same thing as mr Chiron taking this in stride as well as seeing it as something amusing .

''your annoying friend is right young man i sugest bought of you take the advice to heart ''mr D told us giving us looks .

''yeah right like that would ever happen you don't even deserve the bother so don't worry i wont take you guys casually since i don't care about you to begin with ''i replied with a casual but also cold tone my expresion showing that .mr D stared at me and he gave me a hard steal gaze making a small grunt like noise but he then scoffed and huffed deciding to ignore me which was fine by me . Percy was surprised by this as it was Grover who did not expected that .

mr Chiron was as well very surprised but he understood that i was meaning what i said behind my words he gazed at me for a bit but he after leting out a sigh decided to leave me be .

''uhh right ''i replied not feeling very sure about this deciding to not think about it i wanted to talk further about this since i was still in doubt .

''but this i mean about the gods they are just stories '' I said wanting to form my own ideea about this wohle thing it was kind of bad since i was reciving looks from bought my best friends who were silent but i was able to see that they did not agreed with me and it hurt a bit seeing that as well as Chiron who was analisyng me not saying a word but i already knew that the man was scrutinise me for my words and mr D gave me a cold look .

"They're—myths, to explain lightning and the seasons and stuff.

They're what people believed before there was science."i continued but i realised that i just simply made a bigger hole for my self since bought Naruto and Grover where giving me looks wanting to tell me if i really was serious about this especially after what we've been through and also saw Chiron shaked his head saying nothing although juging from his expresion it was looking like he might have dealt with this kind of thing before so i was relived sort of or at least i thought i was .

''really Perce you just had to go there ok i do agree with you to a point but still what about the monsters what about the unexplained things that happens when ever some one is seeing a monster or something they can not explain or how about the day we saw the fate sisters how about that huh i bet no one saw them but us why ? simple it's because they are beings who are biger than us so saying that the existance of the gods it's just simply a myth a way for sience to explaine things is not good enough Perce and if you don't belive me then how do explain the bull cow huh cause he was real like very real and the camp how can you explain this huh all of it the trough is you can't i can't so we just have to accept it Perce there are things that are bigger than us and sience is not allways the answere not to what we are facing and probably what will face from now on .

Percy was silent after i said all that he had a frown but he started to understand more or less since we bought saw not only a fury but also the fate sisters and the minotaur and they were real very real not to mention that the camp was also very real too not something that could had been explained with sience or some other explination that was not taking the fact that maybe this place was not a place that was in normal circumstances .

''Naruto is right Percy this all this is real since wel satyr and i m real '' Grover told us and again this was something that he too had a point which i agreed on Percy sighed starting to understand that maybe we were right about this and all was not in his imagination .

"Science!" Mr. D scoffed. "And tell me, Perseus Jackson"—I flinched when he said my real

name, which I never told anybody—"what will people think of your 'science' two thousand years

from now?" Mr. D continued. "Hmm? They will call it primitive mumbo jumbo. That's what. Oh,

I love mortals—they have absolutely no sense of perspective. They think they've come so-o-o far.

And have they, Chiron? Look at this boy and tell me."

i had to say that mr D when he wanted he could be quite scary if he was angered since he scared Percy not that i did not agreed with him since he had a point for most people belived what they wanted to not wanting to search for the trough and they accepted what they thought to be true .

''hey come one don't blame us for not knowing about this you don't have to throw a fit just because we don't agree with you no one is forcing us to be here or to belive in you if we don't want too got it we can chose for ourselves thank you very much '' i said wanting to defend my best friend mr D grumbel again starting to snort and talk but i toned him out not wanting to listen to his rambelings .

Percy was thankfule that i sticked up for him i had no problem doing that since i felt the same way he did even if i was accepting the trough more easy than he was at the moment .

I wasn't liking Mr. D much, but there was something about the way he called me mortal, as

if... he wasn't. It was enough to put a lump in my throat, to suggest why Grover was dutifully

minding his cards, chewing his soda can, and keeping his mouth shut.

"Percy," Chiron said,earning our attention ."you may choose to believe or not, but the fact is that immortal means

immortal. Can you imagine that for a moment, never dying? Never fading? Existing, just as you

are, for all time?"

I was about to answer, off the top of my head, that it sounded like a pretty good deal, but the

tone of Chiron's voice made me hesitate.

i also felt the same but to me it felt more like a lonliy life since there might be people that you could be friends with love and care about them but they at one point could die while you remain the same unchainged and never to die i did not liked that since it was quite scary and a sad life .

''i have to say that this is a sad life i mean never diying yeah who would want that maybe thouse who can accept this kind of life but a normal person or kids like us i don't think i could really accept this kind of life not if i was not forced or had littel to no choice but to accept something like this that it would make me want to even think or accept such a life .

i said being honest since this was something that i did not liked in a strainge way i thought about the fox who was trapped inside me maybe it felt the same way maybe perhaps it was imortal and had to face something similar in a way to me it kind of made sense if the fox was pissed and bitter since who wanted to spent an eternity trapped who knows were i mean being imortal is one thing but being trapped is another since having to face the same thing every day for who knows how long .yeah if that was not making some people bitter and angry i did not knew what else would that be cause some one who was imortal and imprisoned somewere he or she might not like being happy that was a fat chance .

''yes that is quite true Naruto and there is even more than what have you said ''mr Chiron told us earning our attention .

''it's about, whether people believed in you or not," we said already thinking about that .

Exactly," Chiron agreed.''if you two were gods how would you like being called a myth, an

old story to explain lightning? What if I told you, Perseus Jackson, that someday people would

call you a myth, just created to explain how little boys can get over losing their mothers?"

My heart pounded. He was trying to make me angry for some reason, but I wasn't going to let

him. i too did not liked what mr Chiron said since this was a low blow and even worst unlike Percy i lost bought my parents in the night the fox attacked which happened to be the same night i was also born and ended up having the bane that the villigers from the leaf hated sealed inside me by the fourth who happened to be my own dad who had died along side my mom so hearing this i did not liked the words mr Chiron said one bit even if he was our favorit teacher or not he crossed a line and i was not about to let him cross another with me or Percy .

we bought gave a respons though i gave the man a glare showing that i was disapointed in him .

''we wouldn't like it., But I don't believe in gods."i continued showing that i was honest even Naruto agreed with me despite him accepting the trough about this whole thing .

"Oh, you'd better," Mr. D murmured. "Before one of them incinerates you." we were surprised hearing mr D but i glared at him since i felt like the man had an incling of tring to do that to us .

''sure you would cause why not i mean just a thoguht a slight shake form your hand and bam we are out of your hair isn't it mr D '' i told him very sarcasticaly ,Percy was surprised but he too did not liked the words Grover and mr Chiron were trying to warn us not to antagonise the man i was not about to do that since it was stupid but it did not meant that i had to just let the man do what ever he felt like he could do just because he felt he had the right to do it especially when i did nothing to him to begin with .

''watch it Narumi or i might chainge my mind and burst you and Peter Jhonsen here to molecules ''mr D threaten us i was not scared of the threats while Percy even if he was a bit wary and slightly shaken by the thought chose to be brave instead of cower in front of the man .

we were about to corect the man who was starting to annoy us about our names when Grover said '' "P-please, sir. He's just lost his mother. He's in shock." the man scoffed at the words not caring that made Percy mad but i simply told him through a glance that the cubby man was not worth it even if i too felt that he was starting to push his luck .

"A lucky thing, too," Mr. D grumbled, playing a card. "Bad enough I'm confined to this

miserable job, working with boys who don't even believe.'"we bought rolled our eyes and thought dramatically at how much of a dramatic chore as well as chainge the man had suffer even if we realised that maybe the man deserve it we might had been a bit vindictive but the man was asking for it .

we saw him waved his hand and a goblet appeared on the table, as if the sunlight had bent,

momentarily, and woven the air into glass. The goblet filled itself with red wine.

i was very impressed about that since this showed that the man was what he claimed to be even Percy had his jaw dropped, now find it hard to deny what he had seen for this was way to real to be faked mr Chiron hardly looked we still tried to snap out from what we saw .

"Mr. D," he warned, "your restrictions."hearing him we bought wander what he was talking about though i was starting to have my suspicions about the man since he made wine and he also was restricted to me it lead to a singel person that could do something like this and was restricted and it was making quite the perfect sense to be him since he was the fluf guy's son but had been punished by hid dad .

Mr. D looked at the wine and feigned did not surpise us since it was very obvious

"Dear me." He looked at the sky and yelled, "Old habits! Sorry!" we snorted since we did not belived him we did belived him for having habbits but for him to apologise since he could not give up yeah like that was about to happen .

More and Percy rolled our eyes me more than him since that guy loved to show off but it was obvious why since he was in the clouds he thought he could do all that he wanted i wispered to Percy about this and we bought started to laugh since what i said was very funny of course it was since we bought made fun of the air head flufy king of flufs seeing as he was so dramatically using his lightning for almost everything it was almost as if the guy loved that thing maybe he did i did not even wished to know what was in his head .

Mr. D waved his hand again, and the wineglass changed into a fresh can of Diet Coke. He

sighed unhappily, popped the top of the soda, and went back to his card game.

mr Chiron/Chiron winked at us "Mr. D offended his father a while back, took a fancy to a wood nymph

who had been declared off-limits.

we bought stared and then began to laugh since this was so wierd but also so obvious to me more than Percy .

"A wood nymph," I repeated, still staring at the Diet Coke can like it was from outer wiping my eyes .''wow i do not know what a wood nymph is but if i have to guess it could be some one who is like Grover but probably lives in trees you actually had been grounded because you went after a nymph who lives in a tree .pfff hahahahahahahahah oh this is hahahahahahahahaha really oh i i hahahahahahahahaha Percy mr D here is grounded because he went after a girl who lives in a tree can you imagine that hahahahahahahahahaha .

i continued to laugh since now this was really great news i did not want to offened the wood nymps because maybe they were nice people but this was way to great to pass up even Percy after a few moments once i told him why mr D was punished began to laugh like i did ending up in almost falling to the ground while tring to hold our sides since this was to funny to even imagine when we were looking at the man we started to laugh again since we could not belive that a chubby man like mr D some one who was a grown man was punished like a kid for going after a girl who lived in a tree house .

''something funny Peter jhonsen Nikolay come on share what you have with the rest of us too we would not like to be left out go on '' we were interupted when mr D spoke insulting us again he gave us a deathly murdorous look wanting to kill us on the spot if he wanted but he held himself . Grover and mr Chiron where amused but they shaked their heads at the two of us not liking how we made fun of mr D not that we care since this was blackmail material for us to use against the man .

''no no we are good really isn;t that right Percy ?, yeah Naruto is right we are peachy here really '' we said grining wanting to laugh again but tried to held in even if it was hard to do that .

mr D narrowed his eyes at us giving us a stare wanting to warn us that he was trying to keep an eye on us .

"Yes," Mr. D confessed. "Father loves to punish me. The first time, Prohibition. Ghastly!

Absolutely horrid ten years! The second time—well, she really was pretty, and I couldn't stay

away—the second time, he sent me here. Half-Blood Hill. Summer camp for brats like you. 'Be a

better influence,' he told me. 'Work with youths rather than tearing them down.' Ha.' Absolutely

unfair."

'i bet they were very beutifule for some one like him i mean he is fat as well as a drunk so what the heck did he expected to not be punished but still to react like this what a loser ' i thought while snikering wispering to Percy as well who agreed noding quite eagerly while grining all the same enjoying this quite well .

we bought saw how mr D was complaining like a six years old who was pouting like a kid .

"And ..." I stammered, "your father is ..."

''his dad Percy don't you know it's the baby fluff the spark loser of losers the big loser guy that has the spark stick so shoved hiss ass that he can't even see it i mean he blast us down the road two days back just because he thinks he could isn't it you loser well just you wait cause when i will find that boom stick of yours i will shove it down your throught you jackass then i will dump all the stone pilars that are in your damn house right on your damn head and break your skull maybe then you would like to reconsider blastig people out of the road you loser you wannabe jackass you stupid cloud idiotic moronic tripelled faced craped twisted good for nothing jack crap of a man that you are you are probably suking on clouds huh the sky not big enough for you go choke on it you stupid wanabe crack potted loser .

there was silence after i let out an insulting rant right away thunders were let out but i did not care since i was complaining even more wanting to complain at the stupid moron i showed him the doubel fingers as well just to spit and ticked him off even more .

Percy .mr and mr D were looking at me with gaping astounded draping jaws not beliving that i insuulted the king of crap thunder

''N -Narut wha dd d d oh holy Olympus help us all ''Grover stuttered starting to blabber and shake while staring at me as if i was insaine and had a death wish .

''wow Naruto man easy honestly all thouse curses a and u uhm e e even t that t thing d dude where d did you e even learned something like that in the first place ''i said not beliving what had happen it was scary it was amazing but most of all it was the most frightening and scary thing i had ever watched in my enteir life .

''Naruto why did you did something like that now i know you don't like the gods but even so insulting one of them especialy the king of the gods like that and how did you no were did you even learned that sign it is very wrong young man i will not tolerate such kind of behavior in this camp am i understood young man '' Chiron chewed Naruto out who looked shepished after he went in to an angry rant and now he knew he was in troubel i felt bad for him but i kind of had to agree with Chiron here even if i did not liked this whole thing about the gods even i was not that stupid enoug to insult them like this .

''holy wow i had never seen a kid who has such language i mean i knew that clarabell had a foul language but to insult dad just wow maybe i misjuged the kid if he is like me then maybe i can be nice to him '' we heard mr D muttering his face being very shocked and very comicall since he did not expected that .

''sure you would agree but Naruto here will be punished for what he said i will make sure of that after hearing what he said as well as did '' Naruto made a face showing a comical expresion that made me and Grover laugh at his predicament .

''so you are Dionysus,''i replied ''the god wine''

''yup Perce he is that man he looks quite funny don't you think so i mean a guy like him he sure is kind of odd if you know what i mean '' me and Percy began to grin snikering at the words mr D gave us a blank look probably deciding to ignore the two of us as if we were not very important .

''you two are a riot you know that !'' Grover told us while giving us a smirk making the bought of us do the same . mr Chiron chukeled at how we were acting not saying a thing .

''ha ha you two are very amusing aren't you brats you think you are amusing aren't you you wise guys bah ''mr D replied not sounding very happy when he said that me and Percy shrugged not caring about the sarcastic tone having grins all the same .

Mr. D rolled his eyes at the two of us deciding to speak not sounding very enthusiastic .

"What do they say, these days, Grover? Do the children say, 'Well,

duh!'?" hearing that me and Percy snikered at mr D starting to wisper about that but the man ignored us which made things even more fun for the two of us .

"Y-yes, Mr. D." Grover replied not being to sure on how to respond we chukelled at the reaction that Grover had seeing how our furry friend was reacting .

''Perce i think our goat friend is shy cause he is stuttering again do you think he might have you know a thing for mr D or something i am just asking you know '' at my words Percy gave me a look starting to laugh as well as me while Grover looked shocked and not very well . mr Chiron and mr D were bought taken by surprise one was shaking his head while smirking and the other simply had a flat dead panned look after i said that .

''uh w w wha Naruto how can you even i mean i m not i don't like ...''Grover said starting to get flustered making me grin at him hearing him out .

''ah come on Grover there is nothing wrong with that you know i mean you guys are well wierd but i won't juge if you swing in that way you know but don't worry i m only kiding Grover ''i told him while smiling at him then grining . mr Chiron and mr D were looking at me oddely but remained silent .Grover sighed showing he was straingely releaved hearing my words .

''you really are an odd one Naruto your quirks must come from your mother from what i can see '' mr Chiron said with a small smile ,that made me beam and grin since it was quite true and i liked that .''you bet gramps ''i said being very enthusiastic at hearing the words .

Grover was surprised as it was Percy after hearing me out mr Chiron said nothing but he did smile at my words only mr D remained impasive and uncarrying .

''yes ,yes Naruko here is a very odd one indeed now then well, duh! Percy Jackson. Did you think I was Aphrodite, perhaps?"mr D told us with a sarcastic tone rolling his eyes i did not liked how the man made fun of me so i gave him a look while grunting showing i was not happy about the sarcastic words .Percy was silent though he looked embarest .Grover was surprised and nervouse as well while mr Chiron tried to not think at the sarcastic words he said towards the godess of love .

''wow mr D you just had to go there didn't you and for the record you are not the godess of love cause you are not beutifule like she is i do not know how she looks but i think she must be very amazing not that i know off since i did not meet her .'' mr D gave me a glance showing he was not carying ,Percy was also looking at me after saying that showing a bit of a surprised look after hearing how i did not insulted some one Grover was silently staring as well along with mr Chiron .

''really now you think i care Naruko if i would not know any better i could say that you could very well be one of her kids since you look quite alike with her '' mr D told me taking me by surprise with that i had my eyes wide not expecting such a thing and i remained silent not knowing what to say since i was a bit well embarest by the words .

''uh thanks i guess but i m not her kid you know since i already have a mother and it is not her '' i replied wanting to say that .mr D again gave me a look showing he was sarcastic after hearing my words .

''of course you are not her kid i was just saying my young friend you know just for a thought i mean not that it would had been a bad ideea to be her kid but you are good as you are '' i looked at mr D not knowing what to say even Percy as well as Grover were silent probably thinking about something when mr D said this to me mr C hiron simply gave me a smile and nothing more .

''uhm excuse me but you are a god ''i suddenly asked since this was kind of hard to belive even with everithing i saw mr D was ignoring us but he decided to respond .

"Yes, child."he answered but i kind of finded that hard to belive since the man was nothing like a god as he was claiming to be .

''you a god ''i answered it was kind of well dumb saying that even Naruto as well as Grover were giving me looks showing that they knew i made a stupid mistake that should had not been made .

''uh Perce as funny as this is i don't think you want to go there i mean you did saw what mr D did so you don't want to actually test him do you ''i said to him since i kind of felt that mr D after that was probably going to do something and scare Percy .

He turned to look at us straight on and we bought saw a kind of purplish fire in his eyes, a hint that

this whiny, plump little man was only showing us the tiniest bit of his true nature. we saw visions

of grape vines choking unbelievers to death, drunken warriors insane with battle lust, sailors

screaming as their hands turned to flippers, their faces elongating into dolphin snouts. we knew that

if we pushed him, Mr. D would show us worse things. He would plant a disease in our brain's that

would leave us wearing a strait-jacket in a rubber room for the rest of our life.

''uh see i told you , you should had not said that i may had jocked and made a bit of fun about the man but i m not that stupid to annoy some one like this '' Percy and Grover gave me sarcastic looks since the two knew i was insulting the big guy up in the sky but that was because that man was asking for it while mr D did nothing to incure my anger but now me and Percy were about to get a taste of this man's power and i for one did not want to piss this man off .

"Would you like to test me, children?" he said quietly.

''no no we don't sir '' we said gluping showing that we learned not to tick off some one like that .

The fire died a little. He turned back to his card game. "I believe I win."

"Not quite, Mr. D," Chiron said. He set down a straight, tallied the points, and said, "The

game goes to me." .

we thought that mr D was about to try and vaporize Chiron right out of his wheelchair, but he just sighed

through his nose, as if he were used to being beaten by the Latin teacher. He got up, and Grover

rose, too ."I'm tired," Mr. D said. "I believe I'll take a nap before the sing-along tonight. But first,

Grover, we need to talk, again, about your less-than-perfect performance on this assignment."

Grover's face beaded with sweat. "Y-yes, sir." we felt a bit bad for Grover seeing him like that and we were wanderying what was going to happen to him .

Mr. D turned to the bought of us but he was giving Percy a slight intense look while i was not to focused on the said look .

"Cabin eleven, Percy Jackson. And mind your manners." the man said leaving after that .

He swept into the farmhouse, Grover following miserably.

"Will Grover be okay?" we asked Chiron since we were worried about our friend .

Chiron nodded, though he looked a bit troubled. "Old Dionysus isn't really mad. He just hates

his job. He's been ... ah, grounded, I guess you would say, and he can't stand waiting another

century before he's allowed to go back to Olympus.

me and Grover had flat looks since that even if it was some what understandable the man meaning mr D was acting well like a pouting kid or a brat .

''well what ever i don't care about this .''i said showing i was serious Percy gave a nod showing he felt quite similar as i did .

"Mount Olympus," I said. "You're telling me there really is a palace there?"

''hm so that is what that place that i felt is quite wierd is it wrong to assume that this mountain is probably hide by magic or something like that i don't know what to say other than that ''i said not knowing what to say about this i placed my right hand over my chin while thinking about this .

Percy was looking strangely at me after i said that as if he was not beliving what i said but mr Chiron was looking at me with a smile his old eyes having a twinkel after i said that .

''you are quite sharp Naruto as i said you figuerd something like this out in such a fast way ,Well now, there's Mount Olympus in Greece. And then there's the home of the gods, the

convergence point of their powers, which did indeed used to be on Mount Olympus. It's still

called Mount Olympus, out of respect to the old ways, but the palace moves, Percy, Naruto just as the

gods do."

we bought noded even if we were confused Percy more than me

"You mean the Greek gods are here? Like ... in America?"i said not beliving that ,Naruto was simply confused after hearing my surprised tone .

"Well, certainly. The gods move with the heart of the West."

we were confused after hearing that so we asked ''The what?".

"Come now, Percy Naruto. What you call 'Western civilization.' Do you think it's just an abstract

concept? No, it's a living force. A collective consciousness that has burned bright for thousands of

years. The gods are part of it. You might even say they are the source of it, or at least, they are

tied so tightly to it that they couldn't possibly fade, not unless all of Western civilization were

obliterated. The fire started in Greece. Then, as you well know—or as I hope you know, since

you passed my course—the heart of the fire moved to Rome, and so did the gods. Oh, different

names, perhaps—Jupiter for Zeus, Venus for Aphrodite, and so on—but the same forces, the

same gods."

we were still confused but we at least me i kind of started to understand since it was quite obvious for such kind of people trying to do something like this .

"And then they died." i made a face after Percy said that since it was quite obvious that the trough was not like that mr Chiron was looking amusingly at Percy after saying that as if just like me the man knew that these people were not really dead but very much alive .

"Died? No. Did the West die? The gods simply moved, to Germany, to France, to Spain, for a

while. Wherever the flame was brightest, the gods were there. They spent several centuries in

England. All you need to do is look at the architecture. People do not forget the gods. Every place

they've ruled, for the last three thousand years, you can see them in paintings, in statues, on the

most important buildings. And yes, Percy,Naruto of course they are now in your United States. Look at

your symbol, the eagle of Zeus. Look at the statue of Prometheus in Rockefeller Center, the

Greek facades of your government buildings in Washington. I defy you to find any American city

where the Olympians are not prominently displayed in multiple places. Like it or not—and

believe me, plenty of people weren't very fond of Rome, either—America is now the heart of the

flame. It is the great power of the West. And so Olympus is here. And we are here."

i gave a nod while i smirked since i was right when i thought about the greek gods not being dead .

It was all too much, especially the fact that I seemed to be included in Chiron's we, as if I

were part of some club.

"Who are you, Chiron? Who ... who am I?" i said since i was lost and did not knew what to expect .

''Perce mr Chiron is the trainer of heros who are well kids like us and as for who you are i already told you that you are the son of mr Posaidon since you can control the water '' i said wanting to stop Percy from going in a moody state he gave me a look not saying a thing .mr Chiron said notthing but he did show surprise but also a smile as well .

He shifted his weight as if he were going to get up out of his wheelchair, we bought watched him but i knew this was imposible ,Naruto on the other hand was not so surprised since he was straingely calm about this wierd thing

i knew that from the waste down the man was paralised .

"Who are you?" he mused. "Well, that's the question we all want answered, isn't it? But for

now, we should get you a bunk in cabin eleven. There will be new friends to meet. And plenty of

time for lessons tomorrow. Besides, there will be s'mores at the campfire tonight, and I simply

adore chocolate."

we watched him after saying that not knowing what to say .

And then he did rise from his wheelchair. But there was something odd about the way he did

it. His blanket fell away from his legs, but the legs didn't move. His waist kept getting longer,

rising above his belt. At first, I thought he was wearing very long, white velvet underwear, but as

he kept rising out of the chair, taller than any man, I realized that the velvet underwear wasn't

underwear; it was the front of an animal, muscle and sinew under coarse white fur. And the

wheelchair wasn't a chair. It was some kind of container, an enormous box on wheels, and it

must've been magic, because there's no way it could've held all of him. A leg came out, long and

knobby-kneed, with a huge polished hoof. Then another front leg, then hindquarters, and then the

box was empty, nothing but a metal shell with a couple of fake human legs attached.

we stared at the horse who had just sprung from the wheelchair: a huge white stallion. But

where its neck should be was the upper body of my Latin teacher, smoothly grafted to the horse's

trunk.

''wow now that is a real half horse if i ever saw one till now '' i said while having an awe expresion .Percy was gawking as well not expecting this . the man simply smirked at the two of us and then he said .

"What a relief," the centaur said. "I'd been cooped up in there so long, my fetlocks had fallen

asleep. Now, come, Percy Jackson. Let's meet the other campers.".
