"Paul, I'm not mortal. I'm human and I'm part god. Greek God."
"WHAT!! Wait so that means your dad is Poseidon?" Then my eyes watched Percy with disbelief, I mean he couldn't be telling the truth, could he?
"Yes my dad is Poseidon."
"So Annabeth is part god too?"
"Yes, yes she is," said a voice.
"NICO?"
"PERCY? I thought I'd find you by the ocean."
"Wait, is this Nico one to?"
"Yes, I am one. But the terms half-blood or demigod are correct."
'Wait," I stared at them thinking. "So since you are your part god, do you have any powers?"
"Yes I do," said Percy with a smile. "You want to see them?"
"Yes." I knew he was lying, he just couldn't have any powers.

POV: PERCY
I couldn't wait to show him what I could do. I thought of the ocean, of the water of the sea and then I felt the usual tugging sensation in my gut, and then a warm splash of water on my face.
I saw him look stunned and then Paul spoke.
"How do I know that was your powers?"
"Then how come I'm dry?"
--
POV: Paul
I was stumped. I knew that this couldn't be real. I mean I find out the gods and goddess are real? Yeah right.
"So you're dry because the freak wave didn't hit you?"
"NO!! I'm the cause of that wave."

POV: Percy
I don't think he got the point so I just walked underwater to think. The water always cleared my mind up.
POV: PAUL
He just walked into the ocean... 5 minutes ago and didn't come up for air yet. If he came out of this alive I would believe whatever he said.

POV: NICO
This Paul guy was staring at me like I was a ghost. It might be that I was dressed in black t-shirt, black pants, my hair had grown shaggier, and I was still wearing the silver skull ring I had found. I felt like showing him my powers. The powers of a ghost king, not a Fish Boy I had way different powers than Percy. I thought of ghost and the underworld... And Bianca. I missed her so much sometimes, but I knew that she was dead forever, but I would see her again in my future maybe even life. She was lucky. She was surrounded by peace, and living is Hades place in a section built for Hades kids. All of Hades kids lived in that section. I would to, someday. That someday will be a time of peace. After Percy's prophecy has come true. But anyway, Percy still didn't come up yet, and it had been 10 minutes. I knew he could stay under there forever, but he should come back up soon. Worst of all, that Paul guy was still staring at me.

POV: PERCY
I was coming up to the surface for I had gathered my thoughts. That water was disgusting!! I saw more light. I realized five feet from the surface. I would come out in three, two, one.
POV: PAUL
I saw Percy come out of the water. O my God, this couldn't be real could it? Is studied Percy with interest, mainly because he was dry, and alive after being underwater for 12 minutes. Percy came up to me and started to talk.
"So, do you believe it know?"
"Err, yes."
"Good, if you didn't Nico could always show you his powers." I didn't know if I should be frightened of Nico or not? I mean, he was an 11 year old kid, whose parents I didn't even now. But Percy had said that Nico was his cousin. I counted of the Olympians that could possibly be his parent. Hera, Demeter, Zeus, Poseidon, but he didn't look like Percy. So then I realized who his parent was, it should have been easier with all the black clothes and skulls. Nico was a son of Hades. I think his powers had to do with something with the dead. I would not want to see them so I spoke.
"I believe, you I do. Now let's go back." I started to walk back when all the sudden I felt like I was dripping wet.
POV: PERCY
I was so happy Paul believed us. I didn't want to peruse him more. I think it had to do with Nico's appearance. I needed to ask him how he showed up here at the right time. I think he wanted to tell
me something about the end of Luke. I was running out of time. It was September and in less than a year I would turn sixteen. I needed answers and Nico would have them.
POV: NICO
Percy would be wondering how I showed up here. I would tell him about that later. Right now I would go to his apartment to sleep. I hadn't had a good night's rest since I stayed at Camp Half- Blood. I needed sleep.

Me: I'm still running from Nico
Nico: I'll get you, you little runt!
Percy: (Thinking) Must make wave to save the author.
Me: I found myself dripping wet. Percy had saved me, thank the gods.
Percy: Your welcome!!
Nico (wearily): Need sleep, but read and review!!
