Percy POV
Percy woke up, feeling unusually refreshed and calm. He patted his pockets to see if Riptide is still there, and surprisingly it was. He looked around his environment and saw it was like a master bedroom with weird posters on the walls. Some said you can never eat enough sushi! Or, practice and it might save your life someday. Slowly, Percy got out of his bed and looked down at his outfit that he was wearing. It was his old jeans, but he wasn't wearing his orange camp shirt. Instead, he was wearing a white shirt with a black leather jacket over it. In other words, someone would have thought he was one of those "bad boys." He looked down at his feet and saw that there were shoes waiting for him at the bottom of his bed. The shoes were made of black leather and had little straps on it. He recognized this as the shoes that he saw in Louis Vuitton, the most expensive brand of clothes there was. The shoes next to him was probably $1,000 or something like that. There was a note next to shoes. It read;
Dear Percy,
We are hoping you have a lot of rest before you leave the room. These shoes are Loyalty Richelieu, which costs $1,410.00 so don't ruin them on your way to my cousin. We have a lot to talk about. I believe by the time you get this, my cousin would be in the dining pavilion. Ask the guards outside of your room for them to lead you to my cousin. He could be the one yelling sushi all over the place.
Your friend,
Victoria Hamilton
Percy stared at the part where it said that the person he supposes to talk to is going to be the one who is yelling sushi. Hmm, first things first, finding the dining pavilion. He slipped into his "Loyalty Richelieu" and exited the room. Outside, he saw guards wearing ancient greek armor and body armor with blue or red horse hair on their ancient greek helmet, plus they also carried Heckler and Koch G36s
"Excuse me. Can you lead me to the dining pavilion? I believe that there is someone there that will help me." Percy informed one of the guards with the red horse hair. The guard nodded and bowed and led the way to the dining pavilion. The place Percy was in was beautiful. The walls were shimmering with pearls or diamonds, which made a lot of rainbows against the floor. The floor was marble with designs of the ocean and sea creatures. Then, he looked out of the glass and nearly screamed.
The place he was in was underwater, the glass overlooked a beautiful coral reef. He saw a giant nuclear sub that was parking in another area in the mansion. The mansion was a wonder to behold, for the rooms had giant TVs and luxury seats that seemed to be made for kings and important people, and a giant indoor river that seemed to be flowing. Percy wondered the person who owns this place must have enough money to buy New York City and still have enough money to buy a small elite army. The more he walked, the more things he sees that makes him think that the owner of this place is building an army. He saw hundreds of demigods clad in military camo carrying modern demigod killing weapons like M4's or swords, he even saw large garage filled with Humvees, Leopard 1 tanks, Tiger and a bunch of BTR 90 's
Suddenly the guard that was leading Percy stopped in front of 2 giant golden doors, and turned around and said, "The general will see you through the doors."
Percy nodded, and 2 guards that were standing in front of the doors opened them for him to go through. Inside was a boy about 16 years old with brown hair making what seems to be a sushi roll. When Percy entered the room, the boy looked up and smiled. The boy leaped over the table that he was using and ran towards Percy.
"Hello. My name is Soldat Alexander, general of the marines of Chaos, captain of the Hounds, one of the most powerful squad here! My name, Soldat which stands for soldier in Russian! I am the son of Ares, but my cousin has a different godly parent. You must be Perseus Jackson. It is great to see that you have finally arrived! This is my cousin's mansion. Pretty cool right? It's under the Pacific Ocean, so no one can find it easily. You probably saw my submarine docked on your way here. It's a beauty, right?"
"How did you know that I would come here?" Percy asked.
Sodat looked at him and grinned. "Follow me to the Council Room. My cousin probably will explain everything. And then you guys can talk about yourself and the rest of the council."
Percy walked beside him while the boy talked a little bit about himself. Suddenly, a white wolf ran up to them, startling Percy, who was about to turn the wolfe into Wolf-kabob if Sodat didn't tell him to wait. Then Sodat told the wolf something and the wolf ran off.
"What was that?" Percy asked after he caught up to Sodat.
"That was Mist, my cousin's companion and pet. He is mostly friendly, except when there is an attack." Sodat suddenly paused.
"I forgot to tell you that in public, you can't call me Soldat."
"Why?" Percy asked, his mind whirling around the facts that kept on attacking his brain.
Soldat sighed and said, "It's so that our enemies can't figure out who we are. You will have to call me by my code name, Striker." And with that, the duo stood in front of a pair of silver doors.
