Now then… BACK TO THE STORY LOL

Oh… aNd hAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!

Percy groggily got out of bed and fetched breakfast. He was so tired, he nearly forgot to make his offering until Travis reminded him.

"Dad," Percy prayed. "I need your help. I need your advice on what I should do. Should I complete my quest, or defend the monsters?" Percy got no response. He sighed. "Oh well. I'll figure it out on my own."

They departed at noon, riding Festus. He was not happy with that, seeing as he hated flying. He made that complaint before he left. Then Leo walked up. "You'll respect Festus or I'll set your pants on fire."

To be in the air for hours. Percy sighed. "I can't wait to be on ground again," he muttered to himself.

"I thought I told you to respect Festus."

Percy Jumped. A trapdoor opened in Festus's tail, and Leo came out of it. "Hey, guys."

"Leo!?" Annabeth stared at him. "I thought you were back at camp."

"Meh. Things get boring there."

"Spit it out, Leo."

"People were punching me ever since I got back with Calypso."

"Oh, yeah." Grover was crunching down on a soda can. "That makes sense." "Hey what's that?" Percy wondered.

"That, my dear student," Leo answered, "Is the ground." "I know that," Percy snapped. "What is the moving thing on the ground?" A chubby skeleton walked down at the bottom. A taller skeleton ran by and pointed at Festus.

"We've been spotted," Annabeth announced. "Let's head down."

When they landed, Sans's eye started flaring. "I half expected you to return," he said. "But I doubted it. Looks like you really are a sinner."

"Not for long." Percy stepped aside. "You want a fight? Go ahead. I refuse to attack."
