A/N: I don't own Percy Jackson

Chapter 2

Her words rang loud and clear in his head, over and over again.

"You don't understand Percy…. I love him!!"

FINE! I don't care about her… she as good as betrayed me… "After all we've been through she has picked that traitorous creep over me… So be it…I have no reason to fight anymore…"

He savagely wiped the tears from his eyes. He allowed himself a few breaths.

He realized that the sun was setting, and that the forest grew dark. He wasn't going to hang around and get eaten by monsters.

"Where can I go? Mom?" he thought. Then he got it. He was coming home.

Diving through the Emerald Waters, he felt truly at home. Shapes appeared in the water, flanking him. He realized that these were his Father's hippocampi, scales glittering and gently nipping his hands. He smiled and mounted one, feeling the smoothness of its scales and marveling at its beauty. Whispering to it, he said "Please take me to my Father's court."

Understanding him, the Hippocampi veered west, diving deeper and deeper. The Pressure was of no concern to Percy, being the son of Poseidon he felt nothing at all. He stared wide eyed at the Wonders of his Father's realm. Great shoals of fish swam past them, and he even caught sight of a huge ray, gliding gracefully through the waters.

Suddenly, the darkness gave way to light. Before him, rising from the darkness of the depths, was his Father's underwater Palace. Huge Turrets of Coral and towers of glittering marble loomed out of the gloom. Naiads, the spirits of the water, swam around, casting Percy curious glances, and occasionally giggling and pointing at him. Merepeople armed with Celestial Bronze weapons stood guard at the ramparts of the walls, looking at him critically.

As he neared the palace, a small contingent of Merman swam out to meet him, their silver fishtails swishing powerfully in the water.

"Hail Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon." The nearest one said, floating in front of him. " I am Carthlo, Captain of the palace guards. You are welcome at our palace."

Percy bowed his head and stared at the powerfully built merman, checking him out. The soldiers were wearing full battle Greek armour, armed with 5foot long Celestial Bronze lances and Gleaming shields.

"Please follow me. Your Father awaits." Carthlo said. Percy nooded and bidding goodbye to the Hippocampi, swam after the mer-soldiers.

As they entered the palace, the guards at their posts saluted the captain, bring their arms to their chest in reverence. Carthlo nodded and continued in, beckoning me into the Coral palace. Barnacles and shellfish clung to the beautiful walls and pillars of the Palace, and the street was scattered with pearls of iridescent teal.

Percy finally entered his Father's Throne room, and there sat his father, dressed simply in a Hawaiian shirt and wearing sandals. His symbol of power, the Trident, sat in a holster by the throne.

"Percy. you have finally come home…" his Father appraised him with his sea green eyes, so much like his. "I knew it would end badly… you shouldn't have got involved with that daughter of Athena…"

"Father, I am sorry. You could say, I told you so. She betrayed me and chose Luke over me. I can't bear looking at her anymore…"Percy said, his eyes full of hurt and anguish.

"I understand son…I for one know what you are going through… Don't worry you can stay for as long as you like…I have always known there would be a day like this when all you want is to come home…" Poseidon said softly, his eyes understanding and sad.

Percy collapsed to his knees, saying "thank you so much dad…thank you…"

Getting up from his throne, Poseidon reached out a hand to Percy. Taking it, Percy allowed his father to lead him away….
