Chapter 2: I never would have guessed?
My dad took me away with him. It was kind of weird because I don't really know him. He finally shows up after all these years. And he didn't even know what happened to my mom. But I trusted him so I followed. He headed straight for the ocean. Then he stopped right at the edge of the water. He turned around to face me and said "Percy I am your father, Poseidon god of the sea, strombringer, earthshaker, and creator of horses. And all that other nonsense they say about me." He told me with a slight humor towards the end.
"What's that?" I asked because I didn't know anything about gods or nothing. You cant blame me though I'm five!
"Percy do you know anything about the Greek gods?" he asked me.
"Well I know they're Greek." I said with a type of amused sound in my voice.
"Hahaha no Percy not that ahaha oh my gods your uncles would love to see this I guess first we need to teach you our history before we do anything else."
"Okay then but where will I stay while I learn your history?"
"Well maybe you could stay with me at my underwater palace." Then thunder started to rumble in the distance. "Oh great your uncle just found about you. Come with me time to go to Mt. Olympus its time for you to meet your extended family."
We started walking towards the Empire State Building. I didn't know why though cause it's just a building I've only been there once and these kids were asking for the 600th floor but I guess they were messing with the guard on duty because there is no such thing as the 600th floor. Right?
Well as we walked in the lobby my father went up and cleared his throat. The guy who was there reading a book with a wizard in front said without looking up "Welcome to the Empire State Building how may I help you?"
"I need the pass to the 600th floor I need to get up there without burning up my son."
"No such floor sir."
"I am Poseidon Lord of the seas I need the pass I have my demigod son here who has been summoned to Olympus but you choose be turned into seawater or you give me the pass?" my dad said with a slight laugh in his voice.
The guy looked up and when he saw my dad he started freaking out and looking for the key as fast as he could while saying "I'm so sorry my Lord didn't realize you'd be taking the front entrance since you Gods usually don't use it and usually teleport into Olympus but I'm guessing taking a demigod with you along with your teleportation especially one this young would vaporize him." He said to my dad while handing him the security card and also looking down at me.
"Well we better get going. Come along."
As I was following him I saw the dude at the desk had candy.
"OOOOOHHHHH candddyyy! Daddy me want candy pleeasseee!" I begged my dad I hadn't had candy since my mom died because Gabe didn't think I was good enough for candy.
"Not now Percy we have to go greet your uncles right now."
"No! Me want candy! Candy! Candy!"
"Here take the bowl of candy and let's GO." Daddy said with an annoyed face.
We headed up to the Empire State Building to the 600th floor it was quiet in the elevator. The air was tense like if my dad felt that a fight was going to break out.
Ding!
Were here the doors where opening when I was greeted by screaming and people over 20 feet tall.
