A battle with Wisdom must be fought,

For the prize to come.

A stop on an island in dangerous waters,

To change the outcome.

Still, without these,

Nothing shall happen.

"So we're going to fight Annabeth for the Fleece, joy," Luke mutters.

"Don't think on it too much Luke. We don't need to stress ourselves any more than we already are," I state carefully.

Chiron looks at me before stating, "You three will leave in two hours. Make sure you pack everything you need. You will have transportation to a bus station and given three bus tickets that will take you to Montauk Beach. On the way you can pray for transportation over the water. You will be provided with two hundred dollars and ten drachmas."

Luke, Beckendorf, and I nod before getting up and leaving the big house.

It definitely wouldn't be smart to take too much, so I decided to pack light. I have Riptide and eight other daggers strapped to multiple different parts of my being. That being said, I have two strapped to my lower legs, two on my thighs, one on each bicep, and two holstered on my waist. I know it seems like a lot but it's not much with how I fight. I rely on every weapon I have. I also have a bow and quiver that is hidden as a black colored gold ring with a red trident shaped button you press when you want the weapons. I'm not as accurate at archery as one of the children of Apollo, but it's good to know just in case it comes down to long distance instead of close range fighting. I've also got another pen, this one black that I call Shadow, that turns into a spear when I click the top off. On top of all that, I have my powers.

Once I was sure I had all my weapons, I packed some cloths, nectar, and ambrosia into my black backpack that I had been given to by Luke.

I left my cabin to find Luke once I was sure that I was packed. I found him in his cabin on his bed.

"Hey."

"You done packing?" He asks looking up.

"Yeah, you?"

He looks at me like I've grown a second head.

"Really Luke? You'd think I'm the older sibling here," I state as I look at him.

"How many of your weapons did you bring?"

I refuse to deign his question with an answer.

He walks up to me and I stay exactly where I am, putting my bag on the ground defiantly.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

I stare up at him and he sighs as he starts to pat me down, starting at my legs and going up.

"Eight daggers, Shadow, Riptide, and Kuma. Why don't you take your last two daggers so you have all your weapons?" Luke states sarcastically. "What are you worried about Percy? Your daggers aren't as hidden as you think being that they're Celestial Bronze and mortal steel. Do you think mortals are going to be a problem or something?"

"I never know with mortals. They show that they're nice and then they're not. They can't be trusted."

"What about your mom? She was a great mortal. Are you forgetting about the lot that are like her?" his face was concerned, but I wasn't putting any of my weapons away. To be honest, they were mainly for when we run into Annabeth and her crew. I just need to know that I'm prepared.

I apologize for the long wait and shortness, but I figured you'd like an update and what better day than Percy's birthday? I thank everyone who has stuck with me. Thank you my fellow reviewers and followers and favorites. You make my day when I see the email. I'm open for any criticisms as it will make my writing better. As always, please read and review.
