Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (plus 1) Discontinued for now

I've added a new half-blood to the story to see the impact but this half-blood is more like the child of all the gods because "all the gods at once harvested their power onto a child of Hephaestus when the mother tried to burn her child." Thus saving the child, killing the mother, and creating a very powerful hero that will save the gods way in the future with 7 others. Or not.

14. I Become Known As A Fugitive

Percy's POV

I'd love to tell you I had some deep revelation on my way down, that I came to terms with my mortality, laughed in the face of death, et cetera. (He had nothing else to say)

But I was terrified to be diving 600 feet, straight into the muddy waters of the Mississippi River. The river catches me comfortably. My Chimera bite heals, and I feel the venom leaving me. I realize that I am completely dry, even though I'm underwater. I also realizes that I can light a cigarette lighter underwater. (I can imagine your confusion just as mine.) Everything I touch becomes dry.

What else, oh also that I'm breathing. Underwater. I hear my mom's voice in my head urging me to remember my manners, so I thank my dad for helping me. I see Riptide in the muddy river bottom near me. A voice says, "Percy, take the sword. Your father believes in you."

I see a spirit in the water. She is the color of water, and she has green eyes. The water spirit tells me she is simply a messenger. She says that my mom's fate is not as hopeless as you believe, and she tells me to go to the Santa Monica beach when I reaches Los Angeles. The water spirit messenger calls me brave one and repeats that I must go to the beach in Santa Monica. As she's leaving, she warns me not to trust any gifts. I surface to find chaos all around him: every emergency vehicle in St. Louis was surrounding the Arch. Police helicopters circled overhead. The crowd of onlookers reminded me of Times Square on New Year's Eve. I keep a low profile and find Grover, Annabeth, and Baxie. News reporters are reporting that Baxie and me caused the explosion on the top of the Arch. I was now a fugitive of the law. We all head back to their Amtrak train, which is due to leave for Denver very soon.
