Disclaimer: I don't own PJO. I lost when I was playing a poker game with Riordan.

Just thanking those who reviewed. You give me strength to continue this story.

Travis and I walked through the camp looking at all my former fellow demigods. At the sight of me everyone stopped what they were doing and gazed at me like they were astonished I was still alive. Travis walking around shouting how that I must be a ghost, didn't help the shock factor. Soon we arrived at the Ares cabin where he presented me like I was some sort of prize.

"Well I'll be a daughter of Aphrodite," Rodney a son of Ares said. "Zeus didn't incinerate you. Alright, I'm a man of my word. Here's your 5 dramachas."

The Ares cabin dropped all the money in Travis's hands and then he bolted, with all except Rodney chasing him.

I left the cabin, when I was attacked by a flock of Aphrodite girls who wanted know what happened. I shrugged them off as I made my way to the Pavilion. Sure enough she was there on her laptop making plans for Olympus. Here golden princess locks down to her chin with her fierce gray eyes focused on her laptop occasionally looking around. When she spotted me her face was first happy and then turned in to confusion. She must have noticed something because she stopped in her tracks as she came to hug me.

"Percy," She said looking me over. "There's something different about you."
"I guess I should explain." I said scratching the back of my head.
"You think seaweed brain."

We walked through the Pavilion as I explained everything, except the Kraken. She winced at the part about Atlantis; obviously she knew the story of Atlantis and who resided there.

"So when are you going?" She asked suddenly taking interest in the ground.
"Three days." I said sadly.
"So you're a god huh?"
"Annabeth it wasn't really my choice. This type of situation called for actions beyond my control."
"Sure Percy, whatever you say. What's your domain anyway?"
"I'm the god of the Fortunes of the Sea. I guess that means I control the tides and the crashing waves. "

She looked at me for a second and then a look of acceptance flashed across her face. I hated myself for doing this to her. I guess she had accepted the fact that I was leaving to go on a suicide mission. I swore to myself if I made it back in one piece I would grant her a wish that was in my power.

We stopped near the forest where I saw Grover with Juniper. His had changed so much since we'd fist met. His beard no more just a goatee, but a full grown beard that rivaled Chiron's. His horns now proudly shown now 2 ½ feet long each. But the greatest change was his attitude. It used to be worry and uncertainty in him. Now he looked proud and happy, and certain. He had a girlfriend, a seat of power, respect among others, and if things went his way, an everlasting kingdom. He saw me and ran towards me.

""Perrrrcy," Grover said giving me a bear hug, or a goat hug, or a well I still don't know what to call it. "You're alive! And you smell like a god? What happened?"
"It's a long story." I said. I explained everything again leaving out the Kraken.

He frowned. He bleated sadly and continued to talk me about his adventures in the forest. Now Camp Half-Blood gossip is the fastest chain if news ever to have graced this earth. If just one person told someone else in a matter of minutes everybody would know everything. I saw a naiad run to tell her friends about how I was going to Atlantis and how I was a god, bla bla bla.

By the time our walk in the forest was over half of the camp knew about my upcoming adventure. Chiron trotted up to me with his bow slung over his shoulder and a book in his hands.

"Percy," Chiron said stopping himself as if he said something wrong. Then he bowed his head in respect. "Er, Lord Perseus."
"You don't have to do that Chiron." I said kind of embarrassed.
"Right," He said. "Anyway I heard about everything. Apparently the Iris cabin is pretty fast with messaging system. You certainly look different."
"I do?" I asked looking myself over.
"Well there's only a couple things. For one your eyes are now emerald. For two your aura radiates an immense amount of power. And three you have the mark of an Olympian. Right by your eye."

He pointed at me and said "your symbol is of a ball of seaweed in a crashing wave."
"Told you you're a seaweed brain." Annabeth said.

"Anyway I just came to give you this." Chiron said handing me the book. "I had half-blood a while back who was obsessed with Atlantian Myths. He met and recorded a lot of these monsters and gods you should know."

I flipped through the pages to see pictures of monsters and giants and which I assumed to be gods.

"Is there a map to Atlantis?" I asked suddenly aware of the fact that I knew nearly nothing about Atlantis.
"No," He said looking grim. "But I do recommend reading this when you're asleep."
"You'll see." He said before I could say anything on that topic.

He left us to conversant with ourselves and walk to the dining area. It was hard to believe that it was dinner already. It feels like just a few moments I was screaming at the top of my lungs screaming bloody murder begging for the torture to stop. Now I was back at Camp Half-Blood about to eat dinner with my best friend and my girlfriend, as if everything was normal.

Normal.

I lost the privilege to that wordwhen I was 12. After facing so many things normal was alien to me.
____________________________________________________________________________________

"Heroes." Chiron shouted. "Today, we honor the newest Olympian. All hail the God of the Fortunes of the Sea, Perseus Jackson."

There was a loud cheer for me as everyone was hollering for me. Even the Ares table was clapping for me. There are only two people I can really stand. There's Clarisse la Rue because we've come to actually respect each other. And then there's Rodney Turner. He was over-shadowed by his sister Clarisse, but when all the new half-bloods came in and Clarisse went on seeking missions he showed that he force to be reckoned with. One day after beating 20 half-bloods (not including me of course) Ares himself came to camp to give him the Silver Hammer, forged by Hephaestus himself, stolen by Hermes.

There was more cheering before it died down and the naiads came out with the food. I was about to pick up a roll when Dionysus stopped me.

"You won't need that Pedro Jefferson." Dionysus said snatching the roll from my hands. Where he came from I may never know.

I saw or rather tasted what he meant. As the offerings began I started to become full. It was like somebody was feeding me burgers and fries. I even tasted a hint of my mom's Homemade Blue Chocolate Chip Cookies.

My mom.

I forgot about her. I became a god and she doesn't even know. How would she respond to her son becoming a god? I needed to IM her after this. She needed to know that her boy was now a god.

After dinner I kissed Annabeth good night and went to my cabin. Before I could make it to the cabin, Nico di Angelo stepped out of the darkness right beside me. I was a bit startled, but not much. After today simple things like that were losing the scare factor.

"Where have you been today?" I asked Nico as we walked.
"My dad and I were building something together." Nico said. "Demeter says we need to do some family bonding."
"Harsh," I said imaging the Hades family actually bonding. "What did you build?"
"It was originally a casket for Demeter." Nico said holding back a chuckle. "But Persephone said that was too rude. So we made a casket for that can contain the soul of a God or Titan. My dad says you should always be prepared to put someone down."

That definitely sounded like classic Hades.

"So you talk to Kyle?" Nico asked. Kyle is… well that's another story.
"Nah," I said shaking my head. "Just came for the godhood and the mission. I assume you heard the story."
"Are you kidding right in the middle of making the lock, I get 20 IM messages telling me Percy's a god, he's facing the Kraken, will you go out with me! That last one was just embarrassing."

I laughed. Ever since Nico became a war hero some girls started to like him. Nico keeps pushing them away because there usually annoying Aphrodite girls or one of the Muses children.

"So you're leaving?" He said looking at the ground.
"Yeah." I said sadly.
"Well good night Perc." Nico said changing the subject.
"Night."
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The second day was fun. I spent the day tutoring and trying out my new powers. Chiron was right. When I go to sleep my spirit wakes up allowing me to walk around. I saw Dionysus sneaking through the woods trying to drink a bottle but it thundered letting him know Zeus was watching. I started reading the book, but got bored and just went walked around New York.

After another day and another night spending time with my friends it was finally time to leave.

Nico and I were walking with Mrs. O'Leary in the woods together. He was telling me how Charon kept complaining and how his dad actually tried to have some fun. In his words "not the best idea." He said that Daedalus had to rebuild a whole section of the Underworld after Hades was through.

The sun had set and the moon had risen. I needed to talk to Annabeth before the day was over.

"I need to go Nico." I said.
"Oh," He said forgetting what he said. "Well uh good luck."
"I'll be back, Nico." I said.

He hugged me quickly and then disappeared into the shadows of the woods with Mrs. O'Leary. It was sad really ever since the death of Bianca, I've been like his older brother. I was hurting so many people by this quest. At times I ask myself, is it really worth it. I had to shake those thoughts if not for myself than for Annabeth.

"Perrrrcy," Grover said giving me a satyr hug. That's it a, satyr hug. "Come back please. It wouldn't be the same without you."
"Don't worry G-Man." I said to Grover holding him at shoulder length. "I'll be back, I promise."

Grover just bleated sadly and smiled. I looked at Annabeth who was on the beach pacing. She was obviously stressed. It might be our last day together, and if she felt the same as I did, it was eating her up inside.

"Go to her man." He said reading my feelings. "Tell her how you really feel."
"Don't you worry you about that." I said ready to confess my true feelings.

Annabeth and I walked on the beach talking to each other like there was no tomorrow. And truth be told I didn't want there to be a tomorrow. I can spend all of eternity talking to Annabeth. It was approaching midnight and I had something to tell Annabeth.

Annabeth looked like she was trying not to break down.

"Well Percy," She said holding my hands. "It looks like this is it. Please come back Percy."
"Wait Annabeth." I said pulling her into my arms. "I'll be back I promise."

I looked out into the sea knowing what awaited me this morning. There was a slight chance that I would survive the Kraken's Lair.

"But if I don't come back." I said pulling her closer.
"Percy don't!" She said trying not cry.
"I love you Annabeth Chase and I always will." I said with endearment. "And I promise when I come back you'll be my goddess of the Sea."
"Oh Percy!" She said finally letting it go. "I love you too."

I could her Aphrodite squeal as we kissed fervently and passionately as the world around us just seemed to melt away. We laid there in the sand, continuing to talk until the sun started to come up.

"Good night Annabeth," I said kissing her good night. "My love."

As the sun crept up on the horizon the sea started to crash. Finally out of the deep blue Tyson, his flag-bearer and archer, Max, and his swordsman Gregor appeared in chariot pulled by hippocampus dressed in celestial bronze armor.

"Brother," Tyson said with a toothy grin.
"Hey Tyson." I said. I grabbed the stuff I had packed when Annabeth fell asleep. "Where's the rest of the Army?"
"Were traveling light." Max said. "While the rest of the Army will be looking for Atlantis in sea . We'll be looking by air."

As he said that Anemoi and Aeolus appeared.

"Good morning to you. Gentleman, Lord Perseus, Commander Tyson." Aeolus said happily. For some reason he was happy to be serving that idiot.
"Hey." Anemoi said dryly.

I looked over my shoulder to look at Annabeth maybe for a last time.

"Let's go." Gregor said. I nodded and blessed the camp.

"So where we going?" I asked as the hippocampus lifted the chariot in the air.
"The Carnival in Paris, France." Aeolus said. "We got a lead from Apollo. Says the guy loves the sea and talks all about Greek Mythology all the times. He could just be a drunk man but were willing to take that chance!"
"All right," I said nervously, afraid we'd never find Atlantis. "Let's get on with it."

And with that we flew off to start the greatest adventure of my now eternal life.

Sorry it took so long to finish this chapter. My laptop was on the fritz. I promise Chapter 4 will be out soon.

A question for you guys. Do mind that I made Percy a God and the fact that he's the God of the Fortunes of the Sea? Anyway click that magical green button and give me some feedback. Chap 4 will take place and Paris, France with a new surprising character.
